CRIOCIETH NURSING ASSOCIATION, The first annual meeting of the Nursing Association of the district of Criccieth and Julany^tumdwy was held in the Criccieth Town Hall on Tuesday evening of last week. The meeting was first arranged to take place in the afternoon, but owing 'co the public funeral of the late Rev W. B. lUarks, it was postponed. Through an omission to acquaint Mr. reaves of the postponed meeting, there was no chairman at the hour appointed to commence. This was not the only disappointment. The joint secretaries were unavoidably absent, one of them being prevented by illness. For reasons satisfactorily explained to the meeting, the annual although pre- pared some time ago, us not available for discussion. The poi.ponement of the hour of meetng also prevented M's C. E-. Breese, of Portmadoc, from attending. A't the outset, the prospect of a. successrui meeting seemed gloomy. Eventually, on the proposition of Mr, J T Jones, Parciau Jiawr, Ven Archdeacon Lloyd Jones was voted to the chair and the.proceedings passed off without a further hitch—appar- ently as though nothing untoward had oc- curred. In spite of bad weather too there was a good attendance, representative of all classes and religious denominations in the district, some of the Llanystumdwy supporters coming from long distances. The Chairman, after briefly explaining che object of the meeting, read a letter re- gretting inability to be present from Dr Livingstone Davies, and wishing the Asso- ciation continued success. He also read a letter from a patif\n'li recovering from a dangerousi illness, who desired to thank the Association for kindness to her and wish- ing the Association success. The Chair- man, in the course of his address, elicited from Nurse Hughes che information that she had attended eighty-seven cases to the end of June, and from a member of the Executive Committee, the additional in- formation that the subscriptions exceeded !:100 (a printed statement of the receipts and expenses, together with an account of che Association's work was sent to each subscriber some time ago, and a. summary has already appeared in these columns. The Chairman congratulated the Commit- tee and Nurse Hughes upon the record of work accomplished during the first year of the Association's existence. He spoke in the highest possible terms of the Nurse, and all the subsequent speakers endorsed the Chairman's eloquent tribute 'co the invaluable services she has rendered and to her ever-ready help, tact, sympa'chy, and tenderness shown in all cases. At the request of the Chairman, Dr. Gladstone Jones gave an account as far as his experience went of 'che Association's admirable wo'k and in a pithy speech stated that he had nothing but praise for it. The Association had been fortunate in their first nurse. Much of the ignor- ance that at first prevailed as to the need for a district nurse was effectually being removed by 'che Nurse herself, for she easily made converts wherever she went. The Rev John Owen M.A. (Seion C.M.) who spoke in Welsh congratulated them upon the Association s growing inflence for good rather than upon their success in obtaining subscriptions. Ic was daily be- ing brought home to those who, when the subject of forming a nursing association was mooted, asked what need there was for a district nurse, what a blessing the movement had been. Speaking in the presence of Nurse Hughes, he could not say all he knew of the rare qualities she possessed. He suggested that, when the tunds permitted, a Samaritan fnud should be started to provide for the needs and comforts of the sick poor in ways outside the usual province of district nursing associations, and the suggestion was warmly received. Mr. J T. Jones congratulated the Ex- ecutive Committee upon the favourable re- ports of their work. The warmest thanks of all were due to 'the Committee for the great interest they took in the work and upon the highly satisfactory results of their labour.9. They; heard nowadays a greac, deal about women's claims to votes; let them fhow that they were qualified to have votes by speaking. (Laughter,) The Rev, Glyn Williams, JUanystumdwy, k speaking for the country district, endorsed the remarks of the previous speakers as to the good work already done. He had nothing but praise for the Nurse and hoped the Executive Committee would take his suggestions as kindly meant if he asked them to do what they could to remove the spirit of doubt which s'cill lingered in the country districts. The Association existed for the benefit of Criccieth and Llanystum- dwy and in asking them 'co remember that in the more rural part of the district • £ he people were sensitive he only stated the fact wi'ch the object of popularising the Association in the whole area. It would have a good effect if the Executive Com- mittee held occasional meetings in the outlying districts. The Association would be even more successful than they had already proved. All attempts co induce any lady to ad- dress the meeting were of no avail and the proceedings, following a speech by Mr. jjurnell, closed with a hearty vote of thanks to the hon secretaries (Mrs. Phil- lips Davies and Miss Pughe Jones), the Executive Committee, and the collectors for their service. The resolution was pro- posed by the Rev John Owen, who took the opportunity also of thanking the Committee, on behalf of Nurse Hughes for kindness to her. The resolution was sec- onded by Captain Hugh Griffith and car- ried unanimously, after which the thanks of che meeting were, on the propositon of Mr. J. T. Jones, given to the Chairman.

Sad Death.—Master Hubert McLean, son of Mrs. Robert McLean, Bank-place, Portmadoc, passed away yesterday morning at half-past eight. After sixteen days oj: pain, he sank in'co heavy sleep on Sunday morning at half-past eleven and it was be- lieved that the much-hoped-for restorative 21cep had come. But gradually the sleep assumed a coma-like disposition and when 'he was still unconscious at 'the end of eighteen hours the gravest fears were en- tertained. But at the end of forty-five hours' sleep he opened his eyes on Tuesday morning and a few hours later the nourish- ment that could now be administered brought him partly to but he was too weak to say a word. He seemed to gather strength on Wednesday, with the result that Mr J. Charles McLean, his brother,' and other membera of the family, were able 'to conduct and take part in the per- tormance of "The Creation" that night. Suddenly on Thursday morning, a change for the worse came and he died peacefu i shd.tly after. A pathetic circumstance in a pathetic case is chat hie last words be- fore he sank into his death-like sleep on Sunday morning were about the concert., Deceased, who would be fifteen on Decem- ber 31st was an exceptionally hjight look- ing and smart lad. He entered the Inter- mediate School fifteen months ago by means of a scholalrship and his success at the school led the teaching staff to predict a scholastic future for him. He more fre-I quently than not headed his form and had just earned a renewal of his scholarsip. He was also a favourite with his colleagues and was known to them by the affectionate name of Chum." The whole town was con- cerned over his illness and his remarkable recovery from unconsciousness, and deep sympathy is felt for the bereaved mother and the family.

The salary of MiCW A Jones, pupil teacher at the < Snowdon- street Boys' School, was increased by LIO. Reoairs. It being stated that several local schools were in need of small repairs, the Secretary suggested that a man should be appointed at a nominal salary per annum to see to matters of this nature.—The suggestion was unanimously adopted. Illness. Mr E W Roberts said illness at Pentre- felin was seriouslv affecting sohool, at- tendance.—It was agreed to communicate with the Medical Officer. An Awkward Situation. The Secretary announced that the Con- gregationalists who already hold services there morning and evening, now applied for the use of Nantmor School for Sunday school in the afternoon. It appeared, however, that there was an arrangement come to with the old School Board to let the school for a similar purpose to the; Calvinistic Methodists. Recently a dis- pute at the Nantmor Methodist Chapel re- sulted in a considerable number of mem- bers seceding to the Congregational cause; and during the discussion at the Com- mittee it was urged that there was now sufficient room tor- the Methodists it their chapel to hold Sunday School. It was also suggested that the two denomina- tions could hold Sunday School at the sohool. Eventually it was agreed that the Chairman (Mr Richard Davies), and Mr. Jones Morris should consult the leaders of the two causes with a view to an ar- rangement which would satisiy both par- ties. It was explained that the Congre- gationalists con)temp]&te building a chapel. Christmas Holidays. It was resolved that there should be ten days' holiday commencing Friday before Christmas at all the schools, excepting Portmadoc Girls' School, Tremadoc and Borthygest where there will be but three days owing to the recent closing of these schools through repairs or illness.

Guthrie Jones, Dolgelley, held an inquest on the body of Mr Henry Rees, aged nine'ceen tears, living with his parents, Mr and Mrs van Reesi, Pantperthog, who met his death at Llwyngwern Quarry on te pre- vious morning. Mr O. R. Jones, H.M. inspector oi mines, was present and gave his report. The jury were Messrs R. Owen, Bronygog; E. Jones; Bry'nedwin; It Hughes, Abercorns; Rev H. R. Wil- liams (Llwydrudd), Baptise minister, Cor- ris; Messrs John Williams, Abercorris; Richard Hughes, draper; CouncIilor J. P., j ones, Glasynys; H. Harries, Frondeg; jaowell Davies, stationmaeter, Llnynwern Lva- n Thomas, schoolmaster, Pantperthog; iienry Edwards, Tanydderwen; and W. vv iiliams, baker, etc., Corris. After view- ing the body, Inspector 0. R. Jones gave a report ot his visit to the scene of the ac- cident.—Messrs Gwilypi Wiilialns, Edward Tibbott, two fellod workmen with deceased cea", and Mr. David Howell, the quarry manager, were questioned by the Coroner, the Inspector, and jurymen. Seoording to the evidence given, it seems that deceased was working at the engine, house of the quarry', whue a brother of; jjig was working inside the quarry. On Monday last, about half-past seven in the morning, deceased went to call hî brother, from the pit. There are two proper roads leading to where he wan'ced to go, but he took a third which was a short cut. On the way he waa crossing a wooden bridge in a place fenced out by a strong wire rope when he accidentally slipped and fell headlong some fourteen or fifteen feet down a sink. Edward Tibbott and others went forthwith to his aid, only to find that fie was dead. Mr. Hughes, the manager, said that he had fenced the place and warned the workmen ndc, to travel that way, but was aware, nevertheless, that some were using the path and the bridge. The quarrymen also knew that when a place was fenced in that manner ic was not to be used again. The bridge, which was a strong and substantial one in everv respect, was not erected over but by the side of 'the sink where deceased unfortu- nately fell. After some further questions the Coroner summed up the evidence.— The jury, after a brief deliberation, brought in a verdict of accidental death, adding a rider asking the Manager to take more stringent measures to prevent work- men going through the said pa'¡,h.-On the proposition of the Rev. H. R. William:, (Llwydrudd), seconded byi Councillor J. P Jone?, a vote of condolence with the ber- eaved family was unanimously passed.— r.C. Griffiths, Corris, P.S. Morris, Towyn, I and P.C. Jones, Pennal, were present on behalf of the police. I
