His Honour Judge Bowen-Rowlands is sixty-two years of age. CARMARTHEN MARKET', SaturJay.- Tha demand for best We'sh batter continues good. Last week's prices were fully maintained, though the make his fallen off very much. We quote this week again Is to Is Od. Summer-made noglec:ed. AT a meeting of the Music C jmmittes of the Church Choral Union of the Archdeaconry of Car- marthen, held at St Peter's Vestrv on Tuesday, November 20th, under the presidency of the Vcn. Archdeacon of Carmarthen, Mr W. H. Webb, Hon Fellow of the Guild of Orgonists, Organist and Choir-mas'er of Christ Church, was appointed Deputy Choir-master to the Guior. for the ensuing year. WITH rcfeseme to the report in our last issue stating that Mr W. H. Morgan, hon. sec. to the Weleh Industries Association has been unanimously foted an honorarium of 50 guineas, Mr Morgan wishes it to bo explained that out of that amount handed to him there is to be deducted various items and out of pocket expenses connected with the Exhibition which altogether amounted to a considerable sum. THE Rev Joseph Evans, Denbigh, late of Swansea, and who prior to his removal to the Vale of Clwyd was pastor of Zion Church, Ca-.renrthen and chairman of the Carmarthen School Board, has iusfc resigned the pastorship of the English Presbyterian Church at Denbigh, which he took up as successor to the Rev T. Mortimer Green on the latter s appointment to the rcgiatrarship of Aberystwyth College. Mr Evans does not intend to leave Denbigh, where, in addition to his pastorship, he ho'ds the chaplaincy to the North Wales Counties Lunatic Asylum. WE would remind our readers of the high-class musical treat arranged for Thurediy evening next at the English Congregational Church. Judging from the progtamma of the concert, the high standard of music is excelled this year. The artistes include Miss iiilen Drummer. R.C.M., Llanelly, and Mr Griff Dalies, H.A.M., of Merthyr rydvil (who has just returned from an American tour), and the leading soloists and instrumentalists of the neighbourhood His worship the Mayor (Mr E. Colby Evans) will preside, and the concert 13 under distinguished patronage. ;'THERE is still -i g.,)o,i deal of the Methodist in the veins of Bishop," remarks tha "Goleusd" strong as arc the elements at work to purcre it out of his system. A pennul of his speeches during a is recent visitation will disclose many suggestions which are strange and which would he impossible to anyone not brought up a Celvinistic Methodist Sunday school. Bishop Owen anticipates that a reform in the Church wou'd follow the giTinir cf a greater prominence !o the school, and- the intro- duction of the system cf 'holw}"ddc.ri' (public catechising). Has the bishop forgotten Hyfforddwr at the chapel ofBwlch. SOME of our renders will find much comfort in a statement by the Ereuimrj News that Lord Roberts, though an Irishman by birth, is IVelsh by extraction. His ancestor, Thomas Roberts migrated from Wales to Ireland, and died in 1775. leaving many children." Large families are characteribtic both of the Roberts and Sandys families. Lord Roberts's great-grandfather, the Rev Abraham Sandys, was twice married, first to a Miss Wade, hy whom he had eighteen children, and secondly to Miss Eyre, of Rvrsvillo rrmnf,, by whom he hud fitteen more-thirty-three in all' One of these, Anne Sandys, married the Rev John Robens, and their son, Sir Abraham Roberts, K.O.B., was the father of Lord Roberts. Is THR WORLD GROWING BETTER OR WORSE r" was the subject of an interesting debate at Lammas- street Chapel schoolroom on Mouday evening last, under the auspices of the Young People' Mutual Improvement Society. The chair was occupied by Mr J. B. Harris, Blue street, and papers werd read in the nffirmative by Mr D. Decirrus Morris, Reporter Office, and in the negatire by Mr David Thomas, Richmond-terrace. The following toefe- part in the discussion which followed Messrs T. J. Thomas, William Jones, John Thomas, David James, J. Thomas, Oliver Parry, James Thomas, James Parry, and Miss Thomap. During the interval songs were given by Miss James, Picton- place, and Master D. J. Morris, St.. David-street, the latter being accompanied on the piano by Mr Oliver Parry. Votes of thahks terminated a pleasant meeting, II SONS OF THE Eotire" F, UND.-A further sum of 2,000 shillings was acknowledged on November 19th by the Daily Telegraph from the Sons of the Empire" Fund, which owed its origin to the generosity of Messrs Raphael Tuck and Sons, Ltd. This firm, it will be recollected, gave the original painting and the proceeds of the sale of the photo. gravu;es thereirom, with the result that they have remitted to the Daily Telegraph up to the above date no less than 41,836 5s. In the letter accom- panying the latest, but not final, contribution is contained another offer, open until the end of the year. A number of prints and proofs are still for gale, and they are extremely suitable for presenta- tion purposes, te?ide3 having a direct interest for our Colonial friends now visiting this country.

He intends to spend six mouths in the Training Home of the Army with the view of becoming an officer. A farewell meet ing was held on Sunday at the barracks. Mr Hopkin Jones's depature is a great loss to the Army in Carmarthen for he was a most zealous and indefatigable worker here. THE FIRE BRIGADE (under the command of Supt. Smith) had a practice in Guildhall- square on Monday evening. The principal work done was to test the capacity of the engine for throwing water to a height the glow of the engine accompanied by a smell of paraffin attracted crowds on the cold dark evening. After the practice the Square was intersected by rivulets of water. THE HOME-COMING OF THE CARMARTHEN VOLUNTEERS.—It is in contemplation to give the Carmarthen. Volunteers a right royal home-coming on their return from the front. Captain John and the Mayor (Mr E. Colby Evans) have had a consultation on the sub- ject and when the date of the return is known, they will form the nucleus of a com- mitt-ee, which will arrange the details for a fitting reception. IN its present issue the '• Guardian pub- lishes the list of proctors recently elected for the convocation of Canterbury. There are fifty proctors elected by the clergy, and it is curious to note that of these no less than 39 are canons or prebendaries, and that of the remaining eleven plain reverends seven arc proctors for the clergy in the four Welsh dioceses, who have elected only one dignitary (Canon Harding for Llandaff). The Welsh are-The Rev Edward Hughes and the Rev. Thomas Edwards, for Bangor Rev Canon Harding and the Rev Benjamin Lloyd for Llandaff the Rev David Jones and the Rev Grimaldi Davies foR St. Asaph and the Rev T. R. Walters and the Rev Daniel Jones for St. David's. TEACHERS MEETING.—A meeting of the Car marthen and District branch of the National Union of Teachers was held at Quay-street Board School on Saturday last. Mr J. W. Lewis, Llanddarog, occupied the chair, and there was a fair attendance. The correspon- desce which had to be considered was very lengthy, and although not very important, occupied much time. Dr Beach was unani- mously nominated for the vice-presidency of the Union, whilst the following were nomina- ted for the executive—Miss Hannah Williams Messrs T. John and H. Lewis (Llangollen). It was decided to ask Mr Bancroft tejp address the Association on The New Code and its working." It was also decided to call a meet ing of National School Teachers to discuss "Viocesan Inspection versus Diocesan Exam ination." A GOOD STORY.—When Harry Lindsay, the popular author of many Welsh idylls, left Wales to edit the new "Methodist Weekly" he took the Cymric love for a bit of fun along with him. In thelast number of his journal there is a pearl of experience which was pro- bably not narrated in a class meeting It fell to my lot to be present when a young local preacher, now a clergyman in the Estab lished Church was preaching his trial sermon. His subject was 'The Warfare of Life,' and he laid down his plans for the usual three- decker discourse by stating that he proposed to treat of the fight as against (1) the world, (2) the flesh, and (3) the devil. The treat- ment of the first and second divisions occu- pied an undue length of time. He then pro- duced his watch, and said Mr friends,we've finished with the world, and we've finished with the world, but I find that we shall be obliged to let the devil go AN old Post Office official of Glamorgan has gleaned from authentic records a few facts of general interest to Wales. In 1667 the Welsh post-offices were few and poorly paid. The only head post offices in South Wales were Brecon, Cardiff, Carmarthen, and Llandovery The Brecon postmaster was Mr Aubrev \hose salary was not stated. Mr Davis was post- master at Cardiff at a salary of L38 Mr Vaughan had Carmarthen with l,23 and Jenkins, Llandovery, £ 10. On the borders &e/e ™re the Hay officG' Mr Wellington, -14 Monmouth, Mr Ballard, £ -35 Ush Mr Richmond, £ 26 North Wales was very feebly served, and the only post offices named were Holyhead, Mr Owen, £ 20; Beaumaris, Mr Evans, £ 40 Conway. Mr Lloyd, Denbigh, Mr Ellis, £ 20; Wrexham Mr Lewis income not stated. The practice was the maintenace of a few head offices here and there, and the service by foot or mule over a wide radius. Mr W IRVING SMITH, the well-known Sunday Scnool specialist paid a visit to Car- martnen this week. On Monday he gave a lecture at the English Baptist Chapel on 'How to employ the boy" and 011 Tuesday he spoive at the English Congregational Church on Singularly successful Sunday School teachers I have met their spirit and some of their wavs of working." Mr Smith, who has visited 5,000 Sunday Schools, and has given 35 years' attention to the question, was accompanied by 30 boys and 30 girls, who illustrated his lecture. The lecturer gave many good illustrations as to the manner in which the elders should be attached to the Sunday School work by giving them posts of usefulness. He pointed out that it was the children of to-day who would be the church members of the future. The lectures were exceedingly well attended, were brimful of excel ent suggestions, and are nmifirlontW m' pocted to be of great service in strengtheninc- then? Sunc,ay School in Carmai? then. DEATH OF MR GWILYM HAREI JoNES —We regret to announce the death of Mr Gwilvm Ham Jones, which took place on Tuhrsday the loth mst. at the North British Stores,' Lammas-street, Carmarthen, the residence of his uncle.

Deceased had been in ill-health in the Spring, and came to Car- marthen in August to recruit but he gra- dually sunk. He had been suffering from a lung trouble. He was a, member of the Castle street Baptist .;apel, London; and was held in the highest esteem by a large circle on account of his steadfast and genuinely Chris- tian character. The funeral took place on Monday at the Carmarthen Cemetery. The Rev W. S. Jones, pas+or of PenucI, officiated The mournejfs included Mr T. Jones (brother) .Misses Gwladys, Edith, and Lilian Jones (sisters}. _-Mr -Rowland Phillips (uncle), Mr 13en Phillips (cousin'); Miss Bessie Phillips (cousin) Mr Samuel Jones, Dunvant, Swan- sea. (uncle). Wreaths wehe sent by Messrs Spencer Turner and Co. his fellow employ- ees Mr E. Browning. Bow, London; Mr Lewis Giles, and Mr W. L. Lawrence. THERE is a pretty story in the columns of "It Pelligrion" so says Mr Clement Scott in his new paper "Freen Lance." It is as folloks —" A pilgrim recently presented to Leo XIII a handsome gilt cage containing a dove whose history is remarkable. Some time ago the statue of our Lady of Begona, in Bilboa, was solemnly crownel and carried in procession through the tow. During the procession a dove suddenly alighted on the right shoulder of the statute, and remained there quietly during the whole time until the statue was carried back into the Church. There it stayed until nightfall, and when the Church was closed it allowed itself to be taken and placed in a cage. It is this same dove which has been brought to Rome and presented to the Pope, who has ordered it to be placed m his library." We are assured from Carmarthen of tho truthfulness of this stor'Y; °Vr. correspondent and two other Car marthen friends were nt Bilboa during the procession, in which 12,000 persons took prt and commented upon the presence of the white dove o?i the statue, it being thought by thm that the bird was an artificial one. A siifps/iot was tajken of the scene, and a splendid nhotograph of our Lody of Begona is now in the possession of a devout Carmar- then Catholic.—" Western Alail.1) XIIE children of Dr StephensGirs Orphan- wnl again visit the town next Thursday -•ov. ::DUl. ihe last time they were here a. vt iy_good pvogrammo was disposed of and in ( ..Client ,e •' occasion will certainly get a rare treat C'ri he'p a very good cause.

WEDBINU AT LAMMAS STREET CHAPEL. A quiet wedding was celebrated at Lammas-st. Cnapel on Saturday morning between Miss Maggie Morris (youngest daughter of Mr T. Morris, builder and contractor, Water-street) and Mr Morton Jenkins, Dridgend. The bride was given away by her father and amongst the others present were Mrs Walter Phillips (sister of the bride), Mrs Llody (wife of the Rev oW. Lloyd, Lletterston, and sister of the bride), and Mr T. Morris (brother of bride). J.11 the afternoon, the newly-wedded couple leit by train for Western-super-rnare where the honeymoon will be spent.

A man waa ihargea with stealing sauaa^es, and Mr Boveen- the prisoner.

AN EDIFYING SPECTACLE was witnessed in. King strce on Wednesday about 3 p.m. A well-known public character was making his way along the strcet very feebly opposite one shop he stumbled, and falling in a re- cumbent position he gazed feebly around him Then a tradesman thinking that the man was iil, brought out a chair into which he helped the fallen one. The victim fell off the chair several times but got a safe seat at last in the midst of a fair sized crowd.

Police-Superintendent's Horse.
Police-Superintendent's Horse. A COUNTY-COURT ACTION AT LLANELLY. At the Llanelly County-court on Tuesday, before His Honour Judge Bishop and a jury, a case was heard which aroused considerable. interest. The plaintiff was Mr David Harries, Llanelly, who claimed £15 damages to his horse from Superintendent Pic ton Phillips chief of the Llanelly police, and Superin- tendent J. Yaughan Phillips (his brother') Llandilo.—-Mr W. Howell appeared fo- the plaintiff, and Mr W. W. Brodies for the defence. It appeared that on the day of the recent Parliamentary ejection at Llanelly (October IB) the two superintendents were doing well as mounted police in the town. Mr Vaughan Phillips rode a chestnut mare belonging to the plaintiff, which had been borrowed* for the occasion. It was admitted by the defence that in turning the corner near'the Cambrian Hotel, the horse fell and grazed the skin ofl his knees. The plaintiff, however, alleged that the horse's knees were cut, and its sale- able value reduced by at least J15 hence the ..s action. Tho hearing occupied about four hours, a numoor of witnesses being called on bot h For the plaintiff it was urged that the horse was returned to the stables at 2 a.m. the next day, and nothing at all S'lid of the accident. When the plaintiffs employes came to the stable that morning they found he horse there with cut. knees. The defenced urged that the horse was examined immediately after the accident, when the was no sembiance of a cut. So slight was the mishap that that the animal was ridden for hours afterwards—indeed, until the declaration of the noil, and theemwd« tl,flt. filled the streets had cleat ed away. Had the knees been cut they would hot have allowed the horse to be worked a minute longer. The Judge, in summing up put- a series of questions to the jury, and in reply they found that there had not been negligence shown. The horse had not been hired to Superin- tendent Phillips, bvt was Oil loan.—On this finding the Judge said the verdict was for the defendant.
