BISHOP ALLEN. A CHESTER TRIBUTE. The funeral of Dr. Allen. Rom 111 Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury, took place at Shrewsbury on Saturday, the Bishop having expressed a wish to be buried among his own people. The Cathedral was crowded for the Requiem Mass, which was sung by Dr. Moriarty, in the presence I of the Archbishop of Westminster, the Bishop of Liverpool, the B:shop of Salford, the Bishop of Meuevia, all the canons of the Chapter, and SO priests. Dr. Birry deli vered the panegyric. in which he described Bishop Alien as an eminent scholar, and said he sacrificed everything for his I people. Sir Clement Hill, Air. Rowland Hunt, and the Mayor and Corporation were present at I the graveside. References were made to tho late Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury at St. Francis's, Chester, at all the services last Sunday. At the 11 o'clock service, the Rev. Father Rudolph spoke of the Bishop in feeling terms. He reminded the congregation that Dr. Allen belonged to the Franciscan Order. lie was a devout member of the Third Order of St. Francis for many years, and loved to speak of himself as Brother Anthony. I He had all the sweetness and attractiveness of tho Seraphic Patriarch of Assisi. One of his iMt acts was to send his Messing to St. Francis's open-air procession, which takes place on the last Sunday of May. He always manifested the greatest interest in the Order, and gave a son of St. Francis a most cordial welcome at his house. He left his valuable books to the Faanciscans. The good Bishop is gone to his reward, hut his memory will long remain green in Chester, especially at St. Francis's. The Dead March was played at the end of the service.

DEATH OF Mit. J. E. E. BANKES I T A HUNTING ACCIDENT. I W« regrot lo announce the death, in Loudon I un Friday, of Mr. John Ethdston Eldon Bwikw. i,hf,. son trid heir of Mr. John Eldon Bank?, K.C., of Soughton Ha.ll, Fiintshifc. D?ca?cd, who was only in his 24th year, wM well known throughout the county, and his I unifoim geniality had made him highly oe- loomed. The news of liis oaily death has eorno, therefore, as a painful s hock to his numerous frientfe. and th? deepest v I I Mr. nd Irs. Eldon liarikes and their family in this great bereavement. Tlio of de,atii was a hunting accident in the latter pait of t.he txnson, when Mr. Bankes was thrown from hia and badly shaken, aJithough no hones wore broken. Born on August 24th. 1884, tho d< c< a.^ed gentleman was educated at Eton, and afterwards at University College, Oxford. He had a sue- j ecosful career at both plarea, but lmfortllna:t,:)1y it was interrupted by an illness of about a year s duration. -Alr. wa,;i to tli*- in 1907. and heing Oil tho North Wales circuit, practiced at th.o Chester Assizos and the Quar- ter Hessioriri, his work shewing considerable promise of future advancement. We believe that the first time Mr. Bankes appeared at Chester xvas ttt t lie last an tti mn ttsz-izes. lie wts Liso the only counsel at the January Quarter Sessions for the oitv, and had the only two prosecutions. He eroated a very favourable impression upon those present. His unfailing good nature made him j deservedly popular with the members of the North Wales circuit, and one well-known ban ister describes him as "One ot tue nnest leiiows that joined our circuit." Mr. Bankes was in rhanti/'rs with his father. Ho was devotrd to outdoor games, and had the honour of playing for Eton against Harrow in one of the annual criokot matches at Lords. I111905 Mr. Bankes oatno of age, and the event was c'iobvatxl with unfeigned joy by the in- habitants of th-c. Noithop district of Flintshire. On a beautiful Augn? (hy a gathering of aboti on.? '.thousand proplo were entertained at Sough- oii,3 .?and pf-,ol)],:? <?par?.t? J)!¡¡t:üíons were then made to Mr. Bankes. The hist was. made by the 'ate Air. John Wafc- kinson on !>L-half of tho icsidcnts in Che district and the othiw gifts were by the inhabitant of -tho tenantry, the estate workmen, tho Northop Cricket; Club, and tho Calvin.isl.ic Mnthouist Sunday School at Rhosesnw..In expr.:is»in.g his thanks, Mr. Bankes disp'ayed considerablo oratorical power, and in replying to tie toast of himself he oausod a pleasant surpi ise by addressing the gathering in Welsh. It was only during his than recent illness That he had learnt the language, and few knew of his accomplishment. There were many Weksh- apcakirig people preoenr, and their gratification was grmt at being aridrvss'd in their own tongue. Mr. Bankes afterwards turned hia bi- ;ng,,(l cMiiLie.s to advantage In ae^t-inR his father in his candidature for Flint Iioroughs a.t ihe last Parliamentary election. Deeoased always took groat interest- in every- thing in Noiihop, and wsw very fond of shooting in thf extensive park surroundiM? Soughlcn Ha.U. ITo was a member "f the Norfhop Cricket Club. and for tho Jas{ few vars had been captain. He qualified a? a magietiate for Flint- shire in October, 1905. He is survived by both ] J I.. '1- his parenis ;I111 one- brother and two sister. The liody v.'iil bo iuierrtd in the family vaait. at No:: hop. Sympathy was expressed in legal eiroles on Saturday with Mr. Bankers. Air. Justice Wal- ton. in postponing tho hearing of a commercial causes-Orompton, Show cross and Co. Lrd. v. North Ceutiul Wagon Co., Ltd.—in which Air. Bankes, sear., is leading counsel, said he was deeply sorry at the sad cause which, made the ad j o; i in in ?n fc necewsa rv. n' THE BANKES FAMILY. I I he Bankes lamilv came 1 roru iveswrck in Ouraberland, where it was established for OCI1- turi<». Tho ioeoids in Herald's College shew that it is over 400 ycai-s sinoei one, Edward Bankes. of Keswick, registered his ooat. of arms, the four Hcm-d,>Jys, which i", the ooat. of arms of the family to-day. The family became asso- ciated with the- Soughton Hall estate in the middle of tho t-ig'liiecntli e;Mifnry. The late Air. J. E. E. Bankes was the great-great-giand- on of a Ijord (Jhanodlor and a groat-grandson of a Lord Ohi-f Justice The great Kail of Eldon left a daughter, Lady Frances Scott, who married the Rev. Edward Bankes, their son being the la o tAir. John Scott Rankes. of Soughton Hall. Air. Scott Bankes married Miss Jcrvis, daughter of Sir John Jervis, Lord Chief Juatic", and from 1335 to 1852 a member of Par- liament for Chester, and Air. J. Eldon Bankes I is their son. I REFERENCE AT FLIXT. I I i\lr. Henry layior, registrar ot tne Flint County Court, sitting on Alonday at Flint, said I haver been very much shocked OIl rntding the n2lws:palwl this morning to karn of the sad death of the oldest son of our neighbour and professional friend, Air. Eldoa Bankes. I am sure the uytupafhy of us all, as neighbours and no professional cnell, will be extended .0 him and to Mrs. Bankes and family in their great bereavement. He was a promising young naau who had just been called to the Bar, and to all appcaianoj»s had a bright future before him. To be taken away at suoh an early age muse be a terrible shock to his relatives, and we cx- t,oll(I to them our sincere sympathy in their irreparable IOSUL Air. T. \V. Hugh, Town Clcl k of Flint, said: Oil behalf of the solicitors praerising in this court I <leaiii! to associate myself with the ob- servations you have made respecting the dcaih af young Mr. Bankes, and your expres-siOTi of sympathy with the bereavrd father and mother. Only two or three yea. ago I was brought into close contact with Mr. Bankes, and I was very mil eh struck with his abilities and felt suro that the re was a very promising careør in front of him. I suppose no greater soriow could fall on a man than tho death of his eldest son, and I am sure we shall aU deeply sympathise with Mr. Bankes in his terrible loss. The whole of the members of th3 legal pro- fession present in the court joined in the expression of sympathy. THE FUNERAL AT NORTHOr. I TOUCHING SCKNIiS. I Touching seenct, were witnessed at the funeral of Mr. Bankes, which took place at Nort.hop on Tuesday afternoon. The body was brought from London by train to Flint, and thence by road, and was laid ill the family vault; in the quiet churchyard in the presence of a large gathering of mourners. The attend- ance was representative of many of the loading county families, magistrates, and tenants of i the family and residents within several miles of Northop village. It w not too much to say that the late Mr. Bankes was beloved by all his friends and the news of his death came as a great shock to everyone in the district, the widespread sympathy for the family being shewn by the numbers of thodc who followed the remains to their last resting-place. The tenantry and neighbours of the Bunkea family of th,? family on tho Flint-road onuside the village, wh-ere they met the oortege shortly before half- past one, and followed in its prooeesion to I the church, a detachment of po lice, tinder In- spector Williams, preceding it. A touching and impressive service was con- ducted by the lkv. Canon Atkinson, the liev. Clement Davies (vicar) and the Rev. E. J. Fiviher (curate), there being a crowded con- gregation. The Psalm, "I said I will take heed," was chanted, and the hymns were "On the Resurrection morning" and "Love Divine." The grief of those present found expression in the sympathetic manner in which the milsical portion of the service was carried out. Canon Atkinson read the lesson. Air. C. Lewis Jones, Mas. Bac., presided at the organ, and prior to the commencement of the service played with much taste several selections, in- cluding passages from Haydn's "Seven Last Words" and Ohopin's Funeral Alareh. Aft the mourners left rhe church he played the Dead Nhlrch in "Saul." The Yicar officiated at the graveside, and at, the clo-se of the service the choir tang with much feeling "Lead. kindly light." The fhg on the church was flown at half-maftt and a muffled peel was rung- on the bells.

The Enemy of Her Sex. t —— Aiisemia made life one round of woe. I The secret of Good, Red Blood New Strength and Cheerfulness found I in Dr. William's Pink Pills. It seems strange that a charming young woman like Aliss Clara Robinson, of 53, Marion-street, Listerhills-road, Brad ford should have had a single enemy in the whole world, but it was never-the-less true. Her happing, nay, her life itself was threatened bv a merciless foe in tho form of Anaemia. How she wa.s rescued from this terrible state of Bloodlessness, and restored by Dr. Williams' Pink Pillg to healthy womanhood is best told by herself :— "Some time ago," said Miss Robinson to a representative, [ was so-neniic and run-down that I felt I hadn't, an ounce of blood in III -y veins. My strength ebbed away gradually, until I was so weak that at any time I would suddenly be seized with faintuess. When I got up e1.rly in the j morning my legs seemed useless, and my body so nuavy that L often stumbled and fed whi c dressing. My: eyes grew dark and sunken, and my face so thin that I realty grew ashamed at my appear- ance. I was all but flesh less, and my ears be- came almost transparent. Everything I ate sentsharpshoot- Ii n g pains through my Clitest and back, and when I forced myself to take a b ttle food I would sutler nlense p a ins MISS Cr.AKA RoiiiNsoNi, atrtul of Acute Amvmia by I)r.

"Neusulgic paivra tormented titk, day and night until 1 became iilmcst distracted. I grew ner- I vous, and started at the slightest pound. My body was: always of an icy coldness, and for hours I would li? awake at nights. All food soc-m; d to taste bitter, and I often loft meals untouched; so through lack of 11011 ri^hme'iit I became utterly run down and numerable. I wa.s never f:1ü:" from head&ohos, and as time wont on I could ,)Illy get about with assistance. AN.F. All A HAS NOW DISAPPEARED. "About this time a friend told iiio repeatedly how she had derived great bonofit from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for PaL? People, and at last I decided 10 try thCi](': pil-e. I took a f-ow boxes before I began to derive any bfjiefit, but by degree. new, good blood was supplied in my veins dowly 11 y appetite ret ttrnrd, and I could eat and digest solid food.

NEW ZEALAND.—The Government of this well-known and prosperous portion of the British Dominions very rightly endeavour in many ways to bring its resources and the advantages under the notice of those who are thinking of going from the Mother Country and settling elsewhere. In addition to the New Zealand Courts at the Imperial Institute and the Crystal Palace, a pavilion has been erected in the grounds of the Franco-British Exhibition in which exhibits of the various products of New Zealand are to be seen together with photographs of its scenery and at which information respecting the openings for settlers can be obtained. The High Commissioner for New Zealand continues to grant passages to New Zealand, at considerably reduced rates, to suitable persons, and any one wishing to avail themselves of this privilege should communicate with him at the New Zealand Government Office in London. The most favourable time of the year for leaving for New Zealand is from July to the end of the year as intending settlers would then arrive there in the spring and summer months.

THE BISHOP AT NOP.THENDEN.-The Bishop of Chester on Monday visited the parish of Northenden to consecrate an additional part of the churchyard. The extension of the church burial ground has been well carried out, and by vohinta-y effort at a cost inclusive of site, fencing, drainage, &c.. of nearly £ 700. The burial space in the old churchyard was almost exhausted. The Bishop of Chester later in the day confirmed seventy-two candidates from the parish of Northenden.
