HOW HE SAVED HIS WIFE'S LIFE. Mrs Ellen King, of 5, Avion Buildings, Glastonbury, Somerset, said to her husband, "Do get some Warner's Safe Cure and let me try it." By complying with her wish, he saved her life. Read her own stt)ry "It was after the birth of my second child [ was taken with illness I could not, account for, and which my private doctor said was weakness. I was so ill I could not have the least sound in my room: for several days I was between life and death. When I was able to get up again I was so weak 1 'I could not walk. My doctor had not no- ticed my urine was tinged with blood, md. a thick sediment in. it. I seemed after sev- eral weeks to gather a little strength and got up again, but in a few days I was in bed again as bad as ever. For se/oral months I continued getting up a few days, and then in bed again for weeks. My husbaad then said he could not let me go on in this way. II I was then got to the Royal Infirmary, Bris- tol. When there my case was pronounced Bright's Disease. After three months' I treatment they told me I cured, but on returning home I said, 'Well, if I am cured, I am not able to do anything,' and con ld not. I was then taken worse again, and obliged to be in bed. My husband called a doctor. After his treatment I found I was not get- ting any better, only worse. At this time I could get no sleep. I said to my husband, 'Do get some Warner's Safe Cure, and let me try it.' After the first three clues I could sleep, and have been able to ever since. My doctor said next day, 'You ;.11 e much better.' In three days I was up, and soon began to attend to my duties. Now, thank God for the Safe Cure, I can attend to my duties with pleasure, and can -nalk two miles. I have been taking Warntr's Safe Cure ever since May, I mean to stm take it yet awhile, I feel so thankful."

ACTION AGAINST THE BARMOUTH DISTRICT COUNCIL. On Saturday, in the Queen's Bench Div- ision of the High Court of Justice, before Mr Justice Lawrance and Mr Justice Col- lins, sitting as a divisional court, a motion was made in the referred action of Mr Ab- raham Williams, contractor, against the Bar- mouth Urban District Council, to set aside the award of the arbitrator in favour of the plaintiff. Mr Cbannell, Q.C., and Mr Gri- ffith Jones were for the plaintiff; and the Barmouth District Council was represented by Mr Asquith, Q.C., M.P., Mr Danck- werts, Mr Ellis Griffith, M.P., and Mr Llew- ellyn Williams. Mr Abraham Williams en- tered into a contract to execute certain sewer works at Barmouth for £2450. The engin- eer subsequently varied the contract, and plaintiff sent in a bill for £ 3400. The board disputed payment of £9.19 5s lOd of that amount, the action was brought, and the question in dispute referred to arbitration. The umpire gave his award for the whole amount, £ 3400. The board resisted pay- ment on the ground that the plaintiff bad not executed all the works specified in the agreement, alleging that he had only done about two-thirds of them. The ifgreement was entered into in 1889, and the action was brought in 1895. It was referred in Janu- ary, 1897, and the umpire made his award on the 29th of May of that year. The --ewer was carried into the sea, the stipulation be- ing that it was to be on pilei, but as these could not be driven, it was fastened to stones on each side of it. The application of the District Council was that the award should be sent back to be stated in the Form of a special case, and Mr Danckwerts pointed out that a similar course had been pursued in the case of the Kirkeatham Board and the Stockton and Middlesborough Local Water Board. It was the contention of ap- plicants that points of law were involved, and that therefore a special case should be stated. What was referred to the arbitra- tors was the question of facts, and the ques- tion of amount, but the case raised points of law which the council had the right to raise. Counsel stated that the sewer waS carried out to sea with the sanction of the Local Government Board on the express condition that it was to be taken to a dis- tance of not less than 375 yards.—Mr Chan- nell, Q.C., referred to a compromise which it was alleged had taken place between the parties, and said he was willing to admit the facts if that compromise ? ere taken into consideration.—Mr Danckwerts pointed out I that the root of the matter lay in the fact that when "t was discovered that the con- tractor had to deal with a. rocky bottom the engineer recommended that the pipes should be anchored to heavv stones." He submitted that the old contract lapsed when that was done. A compromise was effected as between the two contracts, then the ar- bitrator had made it binding without afford- ing the council an opportunity of raising the point of law by having a case stated. The sewer was to be carried out 375 yards, but the fact had been concealed HAt it was 138 yards short of that.—Mr C'hannell said these facts had not been stated on affidavit, and it was a little objectionable to put them forth in this manner.—Mr Danckwerts said it was now 1897, years since this work pom- ] menced, and were the Barmouth authori- j ties not to have justice merely because of a bare technicality raised by his learned friend ° as to the so-called compromise. He asked the court to take a broad view of the mat < *er;—Mr Channell pointed out that the j claim of the contractor on the compromise was larger than that now in issue.—After j some further argument the court adjourned. On Monday, the hearing was resumed.— Mr Danckwerts, on behalf of the Barmouth ] Council, contended that the reference to the arbitrator was only as to questions of fact 1 and not of law, and that therefore a case 1 ought to be stated for the opinion of the gigh Court. The compromise, he stated, was verbal, and was simply for £ 959 in re- spect of work which was not done under the contract. He submitted that neither under the common law, nor uncle/ the Public HealthAct of 1875, could the Barmouth D;s- trict Council be called upon to pay the amount. Moreover, if the facts were found, as it was admitted they would be found, it would then be seen that the plaintiff had not finished the work which he had under- taken to do: indeed, he had not done more than two-thirds of it. The work was under water, but Mr Channell, for the plaintiff, suggested that, the engineer knew the cir- cumstances. If that were so, at any rate the engineer had taken good care not to bring the matter before the board for some reason or other'. If his learned friend on the other side succeeded, then the Bar- momli District Council would be called | upon to pay for something they had never had. Thf plaintiff was seeking to impose charges upon the ratepayers in respect of work which had not been done in acconianee with the requirements of the Public Health Act in regard to contracts being under seal, &c. The contract in this case was not under seal, yet the arbitrator had exceeded his function by finding in point of law that the contract was a valid contract. Mr Justice Lawrance, in giving judgment said he was of opinion that the case ought not to be sent back to the abitrator to be stated. The local board had entered into a. contract ander seal, but the engineer, ac- eorqling to powers contained in that con- tract, altered and varied its terms. It was t now argued "t every gap. of these altera- ott. < 1 tions and variations should have been made under the seal of the Barmouth District Council. If that contentionwere to hold good then not the slightest variation or alteration of any contract with a local authority could be effected save under the seal of that auth- ority. But in this case it was clear that the board had entered into a compromise with the plaintiff for and only afterwards came to the conclusion that theywere wrong- ing the ratepayers in not having the second or varied contract, under seal. In these circumstances the matter had been sub- mitted to an arbitrator, who, it seemed to the court, was right in his finding, and there was no reason whatever for sending the case back to him. 0 Mr. Justice Collings concurred, and said in his view the plaintiff was entitled to judg- ment for the amount claimed.—The mo- tion was dismissed with costs, and judg- ment entered for the plaintiff, whose counter motion was allowed with costs. Stay was granted on the payment of the money into court.

LOCAL LICENSING CASE. APPEAL BY MESSRS. ALLSOPP. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, before Mr Justice Lawrence and Mr Justice Collins, sitting t s a Divisional Court, the case of Acton v. 11. sopp, Limited, came on for hearing by way of an appeal from a decision of the county court judge of Carnarvon. Mr J. Herbert Williams appeared for the appellants, Allsopp; Mr J. Bryn Roberts, M.P., repre- sented the plaintiff, the respondent. Mr Williams said the action was brought to recover damages for two alleged breaches of covenant in a lease of a public house at granted to Messrs Allsopp and Co. for a Groeslon, near Carnarvon, which nad been period of seven years. The action was brought in respect of breaches of two separ- ate and distinct covenants, one a covenant to repair, and the other with regard to the license. This ppeal only related to the ac- tion so far as it was for damages for breaches of covenant with regard to the license. W li regard to the claim for repairs, that had been finished and done with. The appeal on the other point was on the ground that there was no evidence to go to the jury as to a breach of the covenant relating to the license. Mr Justice Lawrance What was the cove- Air Williams said it was in these words: nant? Mr Williams said it was in these words: —"And will at all times endeavour to pro- cure a renewal of the necessary licenses for I using the same." The evidence of the al- leged breach was this Mr Acton, who was 1 the owner of the house, least it to Messrs Allsopp for seven years, and they sub-let it to a tenant. That tenant was convicted of offences against the Licensing Acts, and at L the succeeding general annual V!sensing meeting due application was made for a re- newal of the license. This was objected to, and the justices refused the renewal. Messrs Allsopp, in the name of the tenant, ap- pealed to quarter Sessions, which was unsuc- I cessful. Messrs Allsopp then at once pro- cured a new tenant, and made a proper ap- j plication for the grant of a license to the nvw j tenant, but that was also refused. The re- sult was that the house lost the license. The plaintiff said the breach of the covenant to j endeavour to obtain a renewal Wa.3 this, that Messrs Allsopp did not eject the tenant as they could have done when he had been j convicted of offences under the Juicensing j Act. Then it came to this, in plaintiff's j point of view, that Messrs Allsopp did not i endeavour to obtain a renewal because six ) months before it had to be asked for they had not evicted their tenant. He submit- ted to the county court judge that there was no evidence of any breach of the covenant, as when the time came for asking for a re- newal of the license it was duly asked for. This was an attempt to turn a simple and re- stricted covenant as being the wide and strong covenant which was usually found 'ii the leases of licensed houses. How could it be said that it was a failure to endeavour to obtain a renewal of the license because the lessees did not take some step six months before which might have affected the jus- tices six months later? Mr Justice Collins: The lease might, I ¡ suppose, have been forfeited in consequence of Messrs Allsopp not having ejected the I tenant when he was convicted. Mr Williams said that was so, and the owner did not take that course. When he (Mr Williams) had submitted that there was no evidence of a breach, the county court judge said he agreed with him, but he would leave it to the jury, who immediately ound a verdict against Messrs Allsopp. Were L'Cll he (Mr Williams) submitted that he was en- titled to judgment, notwithstanding the ver- dict, but. the judge said he would give judg- ment in accordance with the verdict, be- cause he had read the correspondence, and that bad altered his view of the case. Mr Justice Lawrance: Where was the case tried ? Mr Williams: At Carnarvon. Mr Justice Lawrance: Was Mr Bryn Ro- berts there ? Mr Williams: Yes. Mr Justice Lawrance Then I am not sur- prised at the result (laughter). Mr Williams A combination of Mr Bryn Roberts on one side and Messrs Allsopp on the other was enough for any Carnarvon jury (renewed laughter). In conclusion, he argued that the verdict could not stand, as there was no breach of this covenant. He admitted that Messrs Allsopp could havi turned the tenant out, but he said a failure to do this did not constitute a breach of this covenant. Mr Bryn Roberts argued that there was abundant evidence on which the jury could find as they had done. The question was not whether the connection was a breach (f the covenant, but whether the covenant, 10 endeavour to obtain a renewal of the license, did not imply that the lessees were not to omit to do any act which was reasonably necessary, and which any prudent man would take in order to ensure the success of the application for the renewal. That was the view the judge left to the jury. The mere sending of the convicted license ho der to make an application for a renewal when it was known that circumstances surrouud- ino- his case were such that no bench m the country, and certainly none in Carnarvon- shire, would think of renewing the license, was not fulfiilling the terms of the cove- nant. The tenant had been convicted twice in a month, and the second time the solicitor to the owner of the property wrote to Messrs Allsopp that the sooner they got rid of bli- the better. They gave the man notice tc go, as their agreement entitled them to but did not get rid of him at once. Messrs AUsopp, or their agents, must have known that the bench in Carnarvonshire took the strongest possible view of transgressor > against the Licensing Law, and therefore they ought to have known it was hopeless to expect a renewal to a man who had been I convicted twice in a month. Notwithstand- ing, Messrs Allsopp let this man remain 111 the house, and apply for a renewal of the, license. This was a mere idle ceremony, and surelv was a breach of the co^eiianc. Indeed, Messrs Allsopp practically admitted this because when this man could not get the license they ejected him and tried to get a license for another tenant. All the circumstances, he submitted, entitled the jury to find as they bad done. Mr Justice Lawrance, in giving judgmv.t, said he could not agree with the county court judge, Be did act tbiafc th3 caatt- -'H —————————————- AaL j ponderiee in tl>- slightest degree altered the agreement entered into between the paiVfS, which was, among other things, that the lessees would at all times endeavour to pro- cure fi renewal, and there wis no evidence to bo left to the jury on which they could find against them on that point. In his view, therefore, the appeal must be allowed, and the judgment entered for the appellants, Messrs Allsopp, with costs here and below relating to this issue. Mr Justice Collins concurred. Judgment accordingly.

— MODERN MARTYR. IN WALES. At Waunarlwydd, South Wales, a village n' near Swansea, lives Mr James George, whose fame has travelled far and wide. A representative of the "South Wales Daily Post," told off to interview him, v,-ri-,es: --When I went to s.^e James George, it was a brother, Phillip George, whom I encountered at first, and be was willing to give me the fullest information. "My brother," he said, ''has been a great sufferer for 2 or 3 years. It began with a seveie cold, then followed indigestion and other ills, until from being a hale and active man he sank until most of his time was spent cowering near the fire. I read of a similar case to his having been cured by taking Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and got him a box. Very soon we saw an im- provement. He began to eat better, could get about a little,and by the time he had got through the second box he. was as vigorous an<^ active as ever. Those potatoes— pointing to a heap of two or three loads— were dug up by him, and a sick man could hardly do that, could he?" At that moment, Mr James George, the subject to the conversation, entered the house, and, confirming his brother's state- ment, said lie had derived such benefit from Dr William- Pink Pills that he wil- lingly consented to have his experience pub- lished. "For two yearly he said, "I was simply a martyr to indigestion. I could not look at food. and seemed to be losing the use of my limbs. My brother brought me a box of Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and from the first time of taking them I could move about,and when I had used the second box I could work in the garden, and move about as actively as ever." The appetite of Mr George was also sti- mulated by the pill* to such an extent that his son said it was equal to two people's. Dr Williams' Pink PiUs are famous for the cure of indigestion and liver troubles, anaemia, rheumatism, weak heart, scrofula, consump- tion, and chronic erysipelas. They restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health, and are also a splendid nerve and spinal tonic, having cured many eases of paralysis, locomoto r afaxy, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, and nervous headache. They are sold by chemists, and by Dr Williams, Medicine Company, 46, Holborn Viaduct, London, at 2s 9d a box, or six for 13s 9d but are genuine only with full name, Dr Wililams' Pink Pills for Pale People. These Pills are not like other medicine, and their effects are permanent.

"WHERE IS YOC R LIGHT,?5 (TO THE EDITOR OF THE liNORTH WALES EXPRESS Sir,—That is the question often asked of those cyclists who venture abroad without light after sunset. From the reports of the police courts, it is evident that <;he law in this matter is to be stringently enforced, and cyclists should take warning. I do not grumble at this, it is a safeguard to the cycling fraternity as well <s to the general public. BUT I feel strongly that the same strict observance should also be noticed in regard to vehicles after dark. Some of these are much more dangerous than bi- cycles, and it is! not unfreqaently that those in charge are under the influence of drink. As an instance of the danger arising from the vehicles, I may state that I have been within an ace of running i ito one of b ase on dark night. The car had stopped cn the road in a very dark place, and althrugh I carried proper light, the conveyance could not be seen until I was within only a few. yards of it. Cyclists, as well as the eneral public,should be protected from the dangers caused by the furious driving, and neglect to carry proper lights, by all kir. ds of vehicles. Trusting this matter will have the attention of the proper autborii ies.- Yours, &c., CYCLIST.

THE FEIS CEOIL AND THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD. CONTESTS BETWEEN WALES AND IRELAND. The Executive Committee of the Irish Feis Ceoil has decided to make arrange- ments, in conjunction with the National Eisteddfod Association and the Gorsedd of the Bards of the Isle of But- ain, for the holding of an in- ternational choral competition and musical Eisteddfod between Wales and Ireland, and if possible the same idll take place at Dub- lin in October next. The intention is td have the prizewinners in the chief choral competition at the Newport Eisteddfod, viz., the Abersychan and Pontypool Choral Society, and the successful choir at the chief contest held at the last Irish F-ii* Ceoil, to compete in the principal contest. It is also intended for the prizewinners ia the other vocal music competitions at New- port to be pitted against the successful com- petitors in the singing competitions at the Irish Feis Ceoil, held at Dublin last May. Most of the Irish prize winners have already consented to attend any competition against. Welsh vocalist. In such an encounter Ireland would be strongly represented. Arrangements are also to be made to establish, if possible, an institution similarto the Gorsedd of the Bards of the Isle of Britain, in connection with the Irish festival. As its name implies the bardic fraternity of the National Eis- teddfod of Wales is the brotherhood of the Isle of Britain, and it is stated that in an cient histories accounts of the throne (Gorsedd) of the bards of the Emerald Isle are to be found the Gorsedd of the Isle of Britain and the Gorsedd of the Irish bards being two brar.cius of the same trunk. It may not be generally known that Profes- sor Herkomer, R.A., obtained some of the suggestion for the robes, the crown, and f sui the breastplate of the Archdruid Hwra Mon y from some ancients robes and regalia of the Irish poets and minstrels which he found i at a museum in Ireland. mi I- ~s 4. • v
