Canon Williams, the Dean and Chapter of St. David's Cathedral have offered the benefice of St. David's to the Rev. D. J. Jones, assistant miesioner of the diocese, who has accepted it. The new vicar is a native of Llansawel, Carmarthenshire. and is a graduate of St. David's College, Lampeter. Ord&ined in 1897. he was appointed curate of Hanarth, Mydroilyn, and Talgarreg, and his ministrations there were highly appreciated by the parishioners, and his reputation spread as an earnest and eloquent preacher. He took priest's orders in 1898, and shortly after he was appointed as assistant missioner to the Rev. Canon Camber-Williams. The appointment was highly approved at the time, and from then till now Mr. Jonea has more than fulfilled the expectations expressed, as he possesses remarkable qualifications essential in a missioner, being, in addition. an expert musician and singer. During the laat four years Mr. Jones has been called upon to take charge of parishes during vacancies, illness of incumbents, Ac., and in that capa- city has given great satisfaction. Fdr twelve months he acted as locum tenens at Lampeter, where he won the admiration of the parishioners for his' lucid and practical ser- mons. while his help with the Sunday schools, church choir, Band of Hope, Ac., was of great value. THE LIVING OF LLANSAMLET. The Rev. J. M. Griffiths, formerly vicar of Henfynyw, Aberayron, was on Wednesday inducted to the living of St. Samlet, Llan- eamlet, by the bishop of the diocese. A large number of clergy and laity was present. The induction was performed by the Rev. D. Watcyn Morgan, B.A., vicar of Llangy- felach. The Bishop of St. David's then delivered a sermon suitable to the occasion, in the course of which he made sympathetic references to the late vicar, and also to the good work done in other parishes where the Rev. J. M. Griffiths had been labouring. ST. DAVID'S DIOCESAN CONFERENCE. The subjects far St. David's Diocesan Con- ference this year are likely to attract con- siderable interest, especially the discussion on the Bible Society Centenary, introduced by Sir John Llewelyn and the Archdeacon of St. David's, and the "Fallacies about the Church in Wales," by Archdeacon Bevan. We have been asked to state that a change is to be made in the programme by which Archdeacon Bevan will read his paper on the first morning, and Sir John Llewelyn's paper will, consequently, come on the second morning instead of the first. The Dean of St. David's is to preach at St. Peter's, Car- marthen, on the evening of the first day of the conference. ECCLESIASTICAL STATUS OF BARRY PRIORY. In reply to a letter addressed by him to his <3race the Archbishop of Canterbury with refe- rence co the ecclesiastical status of the ReT. Charles P. Hopkins, the superior-general of the Barry Seamen's Priory, of the Order of St. Paul, Mr. J. Macrae, of 37, Broad-etreet, Barry, lias received the following letter:— Lambeth Palace, S.E.. Sept. 10, 1903. Dear 81r,-The Archbishop of Canterbury is absent on a holiday, and I have opened your letter of yesterday's date. I beg leave to say in reply that the community of which Father Hopkins is the head is not, to the best of my behef, recognised by any bishop of the Church jf England; certainly it is not recognised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, nor does Father Hopkine (who was ordained in the Ooloniee) hold the archbishop'e licence to officiate in the province of Canterbury.— Tours truly, ARTHUR SHEPPARD (Private Secretary).

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH GLAMORGAN. A meeting of the "Progressive" party in Pen- arth held at Andrew's-hall on Friday, to which working men were cordially invited. About 150 persons attended. Mr. Sam Thomas occupied the chair, and said that as to the sitting member, Colonel Wyndham-Quin, per- sonally he had nothing to say against him. (A Voice: have something in his favour, then.> Mr. Robert Coles (secretary to the Penarth branch of the Amalgamated Society of Rail- way Servants) asserted tha.t the Labour party were not fighting fairly, and said that Mr. Braoe was being pushed as a candidate by the railwaymen of Barry, aided by a little outside influence. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alfred Frazer, a member of the Glamorgan Liberal Executive, was of opinion that Mr. Brace could never win the Beat from the sitting member. Mr. Joseph Henry Jones, solicitor, a past Liberal agent for South Glamorgan, said it was for them to put their foot down and say to the Labour party, "We don't think you can win the election, but we can." Mr. J. W. Mayne proposed, "That thjs public meeting of Progressive voters of Penarth is of opinion that the South Glamorgan Parliamen- tary Division cannot be won by a purely Labour candidate, but is convinced that the seat can be captured by a union of the Labour, Liberal, and other Progressive forces in the constituency." Mr. G. H. Elkington seconded, and the motion was carried, and copies ordered to be sent to the Labour Rspresentation Com- mittee, the South Glamorgan Liberal Execu- tive, and Messrs. Lief Jones and W. Brace. MR. BRACE AND SOUTH GLAMORGAN. At a meeting of delegates from the South Wales Miners' Federation held at Porth on Monday to consider the candidature of Mr. Brace in South Glamorgan, the following resolution was oarried:— That this meeting of the representatives of the collieries in the South Glamorgan constituency resolves to support the can- didature of Mr. Br: ce as Labour candidate for South Glamorgan, and that we join with the other Labour sections of the con- stituency in opening the campaign with a public meeting a.t Penarth on Monday, September 21. It was also decided to hold meetings at Llan- harran, Llandaff, Cymmer, Penygraig, Bridg- end. Gilfach, Pwllgwaun, and Llantwit Major. DENBIGH BOROUGHS. The Hon. George Kenyon, M.P., has definitely decided to again contest the Denbigh Boroughs as a Unionist. He will be opposed by Mr. Clement Edwards the prospective Liberal and Labour candidate, who at the last elec- tion reduced the Tory majority to 110. ST. ANDREWS NOMINATIONS. The nomination of candidates for the St. Andrews Burghs took place on Monday at St. Andrews. Major W. Anstruther-Thomson (Unionist), of Kilmany, Fifeahire, and Captain Itard C. Ellice (Liberal), of Glengarry, Inver- ness, were duly proposed and seconded. MR. LLOYD MEYRICK AND THE ASTON DIVISION. Mr. Lloyd Meyrick, solicitor, Cardiff, received a letter from the agent to the Liberal Association of Aston, Birmingham, on Monday, further urging him to become the Liberal candidate for the constituency. We understand that Mr. Meyrick is very doubt- ful about accepting the offer, by reason of insufficiency of leisure and the fact that a possible Parliamentary career would seriously interfere with his practice as a solicitor. The sitting member for Aston is Lord Evelyn Cecil (C.), whose majority at the lut election was about 2,000. HON. PHILIP STANHOPE FOR THE MIDDLETON DIVISION. The Hon. Philip Stanhope was on Monday night adopted Liberal candidate for the Mid- dleton Division of Lancashire by the Liberal council of the constituency. RAILWAY SERVANTS AND THE CANDI- DATES. A meeting of the executive of the Amal- gamated Society of Railway Servants, was held on Tuesday. Messrs. Hudson (organising secretary for Ireland) and Holmes (organising secretary for South Wales) having, in addi- tion to Mr. Bell, been selected as candidates for Parliament, the executive committee decided to aiik the annual general meeting to seriously consider the advisability of making any further being of I opinion "th&t the liability of three members, if elected, would absorb all funds available for such purpose."
