Now, in the face of such eondiuot, it was time for them to prove that theie was force in what. was PASSED by miaiking EXAMPLE of some of the overfeieens.—Mr Mena.es observed that it was enltinedly the ne^iigemce of the asisns/tlant over- seeas.—-On. the mOtSon of tihe Rev O.

It was evilleaii!; that tfliey must ask the board to pass precejpte agaanst the parishes at the next MEETING for £ 11,300 or j311,400, as compared with J510,964 for the corresponding half year. Any dlafiaietnicy in the current haJf year on aiccoiwit of increased relief or OTHER causes, as weffl; as the aareais due from overseers would be adidled after the balances in favour or agaiinst tilie ptririhes had been ascertained by B3ILIANTING the uniJon. ledigefffe.

They must take same special' notice of the matter, bemuse it was imonlslbilous that there was an. increase of £ 2,000 on tlie oaaa. They should be ca-raful in small ifceimB. — Mr T. R. Jonee said that they felt in the Llaniug district &t TIMES that the relief was going up, and they were not wMiiout knowing tih-e oakuse of 1,t, because the attempt to keep the reiietf dtown was f.ru9- trialbekJ by GUAIVHIIAINH gong aibout to hawk out-rekof, and even oouniteaiianced it on mib- lie plktfiotrmB ("Shame").

WORKHOUSE REFORM.—This com- mftJtee recommended that the chiidren in the hvorkihouse be txxi.rd;ed out so far as possill>le, but with regard to those who may remain as inmates of the workhouse that they be lo- cated in a building absolutely iscdated from the rest of tilie inmlates, and. that arrangements be made that their meails be served theie; that fluey shiailil fileep, as wølll as perform any inldusfardail work, by tflieiiniselves, and in no oase with or near the adult inmates; that they altibend the places of worship on Sunday ■imwniing aaidl the Sundlaiy schools of their own dentdm/hiatibn, and that the directions in the CIRCULAR with regard to recreation and exer- cise, be d'uily carried' out.

Apropos of the Welsh D'siesbablishanenlt Bill, Dr Clifford shows, in "The Contem- porary," that there is a -FFIERAL d!iis.satisfaotton WITH exfetiiiig TDL'^GIOUS orgfinFrntion, affecting alike high and low Churchmen, the popu- illace, and even. Parliament; 31 out of the 34 '\V,ø.sh memlbeirs being pledjged to disestab- litfiiimieiit. Four new factors in the problem, ■the doctor says, have recently oome Into play —new coniceipibkmls of the State, of religion, of OhirifSianilty, and' of the churches and their mutual relatione. Ideas are the buiildars of states, and the Tjme has changed because Its moving forces have chamgted. England's re- liigiJcffi. li'els rn its spirit, not in Its letter. Th'e SLTA'te, however, we are remEiidW, is not 'LOA'ng the Church as a relfgilous organism, BUT ? Tieoonsbiuctang and perfecting it. Amid the strife of parties, a central ethicaU prin- cdpal of uwlon is ani/vainaing to victory, and making the religion of Britain sdJIl mare: potent and persuasive to-idlay than ever. The ethiicail and religious dcsitance tiavelled in this half cen.tu.ry is iaicalculable. The writer goes on to show that Episcopalian** recognise grorunid for diaeSbatblltAianent In. the severance between Angtlfcamisim and the paoplie, that in the nalbiiCKuafli eonsaiousnese the Church is ailreadh,- severe^, from the State, and that it is onlly by an effort we can think of them as one. To apply tithes to education, care of the poor amd of orimifnaJIs, and similar practical re- iiigious objedtB, is abCy defended against the charge of robbing God," and after meeting stock objedtionft to dtsteBitfehblifehment, both by argument and quota/tions from eminent Churchmefi, Dr Clifford wfinds up a tienchant afftidle with an appeal to the religious plea.— to "right Glurlritianity," as Edward, Mdall Baad. We must not s':crn so much to right oursolvee as to nigiht Chriisititanity." Tliis, the writer tiuly says, is the highest and finntl plea for dHfeestablSshanent, and In its unsel- fish and noblte aim" lies fts uniaseaiOahCe EI,R*IGTH and its certainty of ultimate victory.

OHURCIH WORK IN WALES. THIE d'seetobEbhiment controvetrey GIYES to the present volume of the Official Year-book of the Ohiuroh of ENGLAND a speoaal interest. As we are toim in, the preface, "quemtiuns WIUDH TJ<.bBy affect the ielait £ onship of the Church and State have now become matters of keen polit'baJ, interest and controversy;" and, though the Church would instinctively ireaoil1 from vain boaisftlnig," the cimimstanoes are oonoidlered to make it necessaiy to place befloie the rualÍÚmtJhe records of her werk." "Days," St continues, "of strife and conten- ibicn have comet, and, in addition to our ia- dtirumenfts of labour, we have to wield the weapons of defence. The present governing powetr has committed itself to an attack upon the Church of England which, at least, wears i the appearance of polticaJ hoiMcty and see- tarian bitbernesB.

ABERTSTWYm UNIVER- SITY COLLEGE. A NEW HALL OF RESIDENCE. The ceremony of laying The foundatiol, stones of a new hall of residence F IR women students in connection with the University College of Wales. Aberystwyth, was per- formed on Wednesday, in the presence of a large 'concourse of people, including pro minent educationalists from North and South i Wales. At half-past two a procession was formed at the college, headed by the town band, and including the borough police and fire brigade, the members of the college coun- cil and the court of governors, the mavor and corporation, the members of the* school board, governor of intermediate schools, clergy and ministers of religion, teachers of secondary and elementary schools, members j of the college staff, and past and present students. Owing to the death of Lord Aber- dare, the president of the college, the cere- mony of laying the foundation-stone was post- poned from St. David's Day, and on Wednes- day Lady Hills-Johnes, of Dolancothi, took Lady Aberdare's place in laying one of the stones, and also performed a similar cere- mony on her own lwhalf. The other two stones were laid by the "wife of Principal Roberts, on behalf of Mrs Wynford Philipps, who had to preside over the Women's Liberal Association at Cardiff, and by Mrs Jessy Williams, the wife of the senior Inspector of Schools in Wales. After the ceremonv, a public meeting was held in the assembly- rooms of the temporary hostel, when Colonel Davies-Evans, the Lord-Lieutenant of Car- diganshire. presided, and speeches were de- livered by Principal Roberts, the Vicars of St. Michael s and Holy Trinity, Aberyst- wvth; Lady Hills-Johnes, Mrs Williams, the Rev T. Levi (ex-Moderator of the Calvin- ist Methodist Assembly), Mr Vaughan Dav- ies, Miss Carpenter, THE lady principal, and others. HISTORY OF THE MOVEMENT. In Odttober, 1885, AbargeCdte House, at the i diti end of the te-mace, was charte.,red as a j JiaJl of residence for women students, undle,r tine niamageimienlt of a lady superintendent, astwiyi bv 31 raaHwara and full staff of ser- vaailtfe. RetAlentae, however, was not made oampulteaiy, aind tlite- inanalbes of the hall ware but few; and as this meant pecuniary Etasts, the expemilmenit was not piolonged' be- yanld one session. OampuILsory residence for women studeaifes wtite dtecMited upon far session 188Y-88. and Abeo^gte'ldie House was once more tatben. Tlids sesitonr was also marked by the apjXBTililment of Mikss E. A. C,arpenter as 'ladiv'-p'itnicipall of the hall, a post which she istJl hofldfe, and' let us hope, for the sate of the college, wffil long conitintue to ho}d. Not enly woman's education at Abaryist»wyth, but women b education in geneiatl, owes a very great debt of graitiibude to MNss Oaffpentetr—. whose enetrgy, tacit., orgajKSaiig power, and V £ 7f&fti33t^y have been, so many toweiK ot Btrengttlh, as is obvious to aLl Abervstwythians for thie educafifoinlll usefukness of Aberyst- "WTÍth is by no meoBs limubed to the Piin- cipaUiy. Women students come there from alii parts of both EbgHaind and Wales, and some from SodtJatnd and Ireland, whrlie imuny former women studenrtts, holding impontiant appoinibmente, are saa^tened' over a sbffl wildier area.

Later on it cameo to be haflk, for the growth in number aoon made one house—albeit a large one— quitle insuffics'enib. Amid then, by the time seseflan 1891-92 wiap on. the wane, came the j mlccrJesntous, not to say daring step of taking the Queen's Battel for tlie fallowing session. Clan we fiG so stupendous' a pile with wom'e-n stadente?" queried the more cautious ones. "Yies!" said1 Miss Oairpentar—and thai wafe dbnte. Now rnome is done, for Balmoral Houise, tihe tnviin-sirtber of Abergaldie, lis too smiaili1 bo serve as an "overflow htafll." and a ttihtird ouCcfeg is appropriated, not to count an iirtfirmary," for that is generaillv empty, since only the physically fit are adimitAed to ftihe oollege. But it foBorws, from the nature of tihe case, that no combination of hotfefis add' lodgnng-hoaisee, however excellent tihiese May be for the special1 eindls, can meet all tihe Meekte in a ratiefaobaiy way, and a permanent hialll of iieecldeoicfe, be(!on(giing to the college, has Jong be;m a derfkferartum. The women's erJde has, aeestilonB since, pastsed tihe experi- miental sftege, and oanatafcutes a large fractiion of the ealift unideirgradUalte comtingent, which at present nuimibeim 330. The AfbetrytettWyth women students have alt,trke.ed many acad«Bmic successes, a fact g'l&ceftiffy 3LLudled to by the Right Hon. A. H. D. Acland, at bhe fifcme when he openietd the mew library. The success of Aberystwyth as a oenlkire for the h^hec educaKl^on of women Is due to many causes, of which may be ■mentioned. —(1) The close union between Ial5 and coT^ege; (2) the reasonable fees, £ 45 being about the average total paymallt made far board, resilience, afnd tuMon during the wboffle seelsion; (3) the hea/lthy envlnon- menib; and (4) the thorough way ki'whdbh the "mixed*" systbam is carried out. The women sfcudemte atottemd the same classes as the men, and take tifoeir fuill stare in the social life of the odijege. And lastly, it is well worth JDoftMig tihetb the UNJVEIRS^Y of Wales, though tfuIe, youngest of IDS bind, is the most libemall of aIlti: the ressdent BriKsh Urtvensities Hi its Teoogniitoon of thie eduoatkmal claims of Women. What 'has been sadd abundarAty proves that a pemIlMllant haM of residence is not merely a deeudlciiatuma, but an absolute LIEOESNIBY. Late in 1891 an appeal comimitobee was F^>pointet'l by the college council with the view of ooiikecrtding funds fior the purpose. Con- Badietraible intereBt was exaied, and the scheme was paltirontised! by a number of influential lad&os. The attempt was not, however, a pe»caJncciiy (success, though donations were GIVEN and prtnntiBæ made to the amount of WOIINLA £300. The appeal did good to the college itn. other ways, especdaflly by making it more wMdly known. For a time, chiefly owing to the financial difficuSti^s of the col- Itege, RESULTING 'from a. hedvy building dfe-bt, the hall scheime remained in abeyance but about a twelvemonth ago new life was infused tlnltia it. Owing MAINLY to the untiring exer- IRONS of Mr Lewis Morris, the ool&age secured a gmnt of £2.000 from the Pfefffer bequest, hi fondt of £ 70,000 left in trust for the ad'- vantaeimemlt of women's education by a Wefllsh lady, MJm Emiilly Pfedffer (nee Davies). Thife plleoe of good fortune turned ttie scale in favour of the proposed haill, ajid' the next step in adtvance was due to the Abaiystwyth Cor- }x«VJ!V«<n, by whose geanerosilty a safe has bean provided on the se»-franit at the extreme 1 NORTH end of the torTace. The coCliege coun- cil have also taiken the wise step of pur- chaaling Baihnioiral House, which adjoins the alfce of tihe south sidle, so that, future exten- eiian in that direction wflll be a possibility, The new hail is designed to accommodate 100 studlents, and Balmoral can take in some • 25 more, so tihalt, as 125 out of the present 132 women sfudentls reside in the hall. no 1 piovtfeiilan is being inrade to meet next session's prtoibaiblte increase, arte, moine case of My povefnty but not my will consents."

COLWYN BAY URBAN DIS- TRICT COUNCIL. Mr Thomas Parry (chairman) presided at the monthly meeting on Tuesday. THE WATER. SUPPLY. The Surveyor (Mr W. Jones) submitted a report respecting the Cowlyd water system. -After a considerable discussion, it was un- derstood that a full report as to the testing of the branch maims would be forthcoming. -The Chairman moved that, inasmuch as the present water scheme was inadequate to fully serve the district, they, as a council, move for land to erect a new reservoir; also to lay new mains front Sam Mynach to the reservoir. It was a great mistake, he said, to allow their main to be tampered with and to have so many connections along the route and not have enough water at Colwyn Bay. And why should Colwyn Bay be the last to get the Cowlyd water? They were at present alternating between three stools— the Llandudno water, the Cowlyd scheme, and pumping. They were paying at the rate of J52000 a year, and yet had no water. It was the most serious matter tio deal with. His idea. was to have reservoirs at Pant- ygloch and Llysfaen, and a new 9in. main to Four Crosses. Conway ought to send their water to a reservoir from the Clwyd main in the same way. — Mr J. Ro- berts argued that it was not a matter for that council, but for the Cowlyd Water Board, who were bound to give Colwyn Bay a good supply.—The Rev W. V. Williams (chairman of the joint board), supported this view.—The Chairman said it was useless for them to bother with the joint board, who did not understand their needs.—On the motion of Mr Blud, it was agreed to have a special meeting that day week te discuss the whole matter. PUBLIC LIBRARIES ACT. Mr G. Bevan moved that, the council adopt the Public Libraries Act, 1892-93.—The Rev J. G. Howarth seconded.—Mr J. Roberts moved that they levy a rate of £ D and hand it over to the PRESENT committer until the Church is Disestablished—(laughter)—with I all respect to the clergy present—(laughter) —and then some of the money from the tithe would go to the library.—Mr Bevan's motion was carried. |j THE RATING LIST. |« Mr Blud moved that the council appoint A sub-committee to inquire :nto the rating 1 list of the district with a view to recommend- { ing the overseers to make any revision de- 1 ?irable, as the list shewed gross inequalities. 1 -The resolution was carried. rHE REY VENABLES WILLIAMS 0ST THE DISESTABLISHMENT BH.L. The Rev W. Venables Williams moved that in view of the passing of the Disestab- lishment and Disendowment Bill for Wales, the council forthwith take into ^ensideration what proportion of the tithe rent-charge of the parish should be handed over to the council for the relief of the rates and other objects, for the purpose of making repre- sentations on the subject to the members for the county. In a matter of that kind, he said. they should take the bull by the horns and make representations to the Government. -The Rev J. G. Howarth: Are TOU not counting your chickens before they are hatched 1-The Rev W. V. Williams In view of an early season chicken being hatched, I am making the proposal i* good time. It is always as well to put the hen to sit as early as possible.—Mr J. Roberts said he would second the resolution if the vicar would add that the oouncil approved of the principle of the bill before Parliament. It was a Welsh bill. and had agitated Welsh- men for years.—The Vicar: My proposition implies that.—Mr Roberts: Then I second it; I think half the tithes should go to this council and half to the County Council.- Mr Blud said he was as strongly in favour of Disestablishment as anybody, and if the vicar would bring it forward at the proper time he would support it. The ship had only just started on its voyage, and it was pre- mature to put in any claim for a portion of the cargo until the ship had got safely into port. He moved that they pass a resolution urging the Government to press forward the passage of the bill.—Mr Roberts scconded- Mr Bevan moved an amendment, that the council decline to discuss such a resolution, as they had nothing to do with the subjects. They wanted a cemetery in that district, and if the vicar acted up to his profession he would give up his glebe for that purpose, and also his share of the tithes. He hoped the board would show its common-sense by ordering the motion to be laid on the table.—The Rev J. G. Howarth seconded. He was neither disestablish nor disendowed, therefore he ccukl speak honestly. He had not been badly used by anybody. The question had nothing to do with them. They had to do with town affairs and not national affairs.— The Rev W. Y. Williams, in reply, said the bill had been called "robbery," but it was only justice. He went on to quote from A sermon by Archdeacon Howell, in London, which, he said, so offended the Bishop of St. Asaph that he left the cathedral.—Mr Howarth accused the vicar of not giving full quotations. The archdeacon was against Disestablishment.—The vicar's resolution was carried by a large majority, also A re- solution to send it to the members fcr the enmity. Mr Bevan protesting that they were making themselves a laughing stock and had opened a donr to discuss all sorts of politics in the council.
