The New Whiteleys." When in 1863 William Whiteley first com- menced business with two assistants in a tiny shop in Bayswater, there were many prophets who announced the certain failure of his enterprise. Many of those prophets have lived to see their predictions falsified, j The genius of the founder, the sterling integrity of hij transactions, and his deter. minaJtion to put the interests of 'he public -first, led to a success which even the founder of the house of Whiteley can hardly have foreseen, and. which changed Bayswater— hitherto unpromising from the retainer-* T- of view-into one of the greatest shopping b ZZ centres of London. The growth from that tiny seed has been so great tnat to-day the buildings of the firm cover more than four acres and the employees number between five and six thousand. With the laying of the foundation stone of the new Whiteleys by ihe Mayor of Padding- tor on October 28th, the seal has been set upon this almost incredible story of modern business development, and when in some twelve months' time the work is completed it will represent an enormous palace of com- merce without parallel anywhere. One of the many interesting and valuable features of the new Whiteley s will be the Information Bureau, which will be prepared to give the right answer to any question con- nected with social life-all particulars about every holiday reso-i-t-,tll about the last new book or piny—the quickest train to Man- Chester and the best hotel in Liverpool— where to go for golf, fishing, or tennis—what to see in London and how to see it best- where to send a son or a daughter to school —in fact, any one of the hundreds of ques- tions which are continually cropping up in daily life. Whiteleys are the Universal Providers. Not only can they provide anything from a footstool to a houseful of furniture-from an ice to a public banquet; but they perform, and perform thoroughly, many out-of-the- way and unexpected services. They will make all arrangements for coming-of-age Ptijn.r.i'in.3, "from pTrrvnTin^ ttfir innclieon to furnishing the rpeeches; they will find the best school for a. boy, meet him in London, show him the sights and see him to his destination; they will provide an interesting itinerary for a tcur and oversee all its de- tail they will supply a valet, a waiter, an entertainer, or an amusing guest for a dinner Party in a word, they supply every want that cap. possibly ans,e To sum up As a building, the new Whiteleys will be beaWlfnl, artistic, and opulent as a .social rend^v0US it wi]! a perfect organisation, a horfs q{ iUXUIy able to e'eter foi every demand m^ upon it; as a store it will be the treaST e.^ou,se Qf Britain, to which every custom\ whatever the length of his or her purse, c^y aQ wjth the length of his or her purse, c 110 with the absolutely assurance of finding t what is wanted, at ths lowest price at can possibly be sold.

Llanrwst Board of Guardians. The monthly meeting of the the above Guardians was held on Tuesday, Mr. John Roberts, J.P., presiding. Others present wree Mr. D. G. Jones (Vice-Chairman), Rev. John Cower, J. LI. Richards, and Henry Jones, Messrs. John Hughes, Ed. Edwards, E. P. Hughes, John Williams, Isaac Hughes, J. O. D. Jones, John Richards, Hugh Hughes, David Owen, W. G. Jones, R. T.

Hughes the Relieving Officers, Messrs. O. Evans Jones and T. C. Roberts and the Master, Mr. Edward Hughes. Mr. O. Evans Jones (relieving officer for the Llanrwst district) reported having re- lieved 138 paupers at a cost of £ 105. Mr. T. C. Roberts (relieving officer for Pen- inaclino) reported relieving 131 paupers at a cost of £ 6-] 13s. 8d. The Master reported that there were 20 inmates in the house as compared with 21 at the same period last year. The number of vagrants relieved during the month was S9, compared with go at the same period last year. PAUPERS AND THE PENSION. The Master reported that there were five paupers in the house over 70 years of age, and three of those had decided to take ad- vantage of the old age pension at the be. ginning of the year. Mr. O. Evans Jones (Relieving Officer) re- ported that the nTajority of paupers in his district over 70 years of age would not take advantage of the old-age pension as they feared they should not have the benefit of a medical man. The question was adjourned in order that that the relieving officer may have the opportunity of explaining that the services of a medical man can be had by applying to the relieving officer. DISTRICT NURSING. A letter was read from Mrs. Wynne Finch asking for a contribution towards a nurse who was about to be appointed at Pentre- voelas. The Chairman moved that they contribute towards this movement, and this was seconded and carried. It was then moved that the contribution be three guineas. A heated discussion followed, and an amendment was moved that five guineas be granted. On being put to the vote, three guineas was passed with a large majority.. It was resolved that the annual Christmas dinner be held on the 20th December, the date of the Christmas market. In reply to applications from Denbigh and Carnarvon for two delegates to attend the Welsh National Memorial Conference, the Chairman and Vice-Chairman were appoint. ed to attend.

Lady Assistant's Success. WINS DRAPERY TIMES Z500 PRIZE. Miss M. josoelyne, of Tunbridge Wells, has every reason for self-congratulation, for out of some 400 essays sent in to compete for the prize of jC500 offered by that well- known organ of the drapery trade, the Drapery Times, hers was the effort which, in the opinion of the judges, showed the greatest practical knowledge of the trade and of the essential lines to follow in start- ing a business on a capital of £ 500. The competition was inaugurated by the Drapery Times in February last. Realising that in the assistants of to-day are the drapers of to-morrow, and realising also how much ability must be lying dor- mant in the great body of assistants for want of an opportunity to use it, this enter- prising trade paper came forward with its offer of £ 500 to be competed for by these assistants themselves. The following well-known and representa- tive gentlemen associated with the drapery trade acted as judges: Mr. S. Beecroft (Messrs. Beecroft, Sons and Nicholson), Mr. P. Best (Messrs. Selfridge's, Ltd.), Mr. C. A. Body (Messrs. Higgins, Eagle & Co., Ltd.), Mr. F. Brightem (Maison Lewis), Mr. L. J. Burke (Messrs. Jeremiah Rotherham and Co., Ltd.), Mr. J. Lawrie (Messrs. Wm. Whiteley, Ltd.), Mr. F. Longley (Aylesbury), Mr. W. Morford (Messrs. Swan & Edgar), and Mr. R. J. Bullen (Messrs. Samuel Hos. kins & Bros.). Their task was not an easy one, owing to the number of entries and the general high standard of excellence. The identity of the competitors was quite unknown to the judges until the last decision was arrived at, and them only was it known that the essay placed first on the list was written by a lady assistant. In awarding Miss Joscelyne the prize of £ 500, subject to verification of conditions, the Drapery Tim?s Hopes that she may not only realise her ambition, but justify in her subsequent success the promise of practical business aptitude revealed in the essay which convinced the judges of its superiority over its rivals "—sentiments which will, we feel sure, be heartily echoed by her less fortunate fellow competitors.

The following Justices were also pre- sent:—Dr. Peter Jones, Messrs. Edward Williams, J. Duncan Miller and W. W. Hunibley; together with the Clerk (Mr. E. A. Crabbe) and Superintendent T. Beresford. Thomas Henry Owen Jones applied for the transfer of the off wine licence of the Canol- dre, Abergele, 10 Frederick- James Boardman, and the same was granted. DID NOT WANT HIS CHILDREN EDUCATED. School Attendance Officer Edward Bithell summoned Robert Hughes, oi Tai Farm, near Llangerniew, farmer, for not sending his children to school. The Officer stated that the defendant (who was not present) had told him that he was not educated him- self and he did not want his children edu- cated. (Laughter.) A fine of 20s. and costs was imposed. Walter Davies, 5, Rhudd!an-road, Aber- gele, bricklayer, was also summoned for a similar offence. Mrs. Davies (wife of the defendant) was present, and said she did not keep the children home only in case of death or sickness A fine of 7s. Cd. and costs was imposed. TRESPASSING FOR GAME. Robert Foulkes, Llawr Pentre Colwyn, labourer, was summoned for trespassing in pursuit of conies on October 18th, on the ground cf Ty Isa' (,ell, Bettws, Abergele, belonging to Griffith Owen. Mr. J. D. II. Osborn (Messrs. Porter, Amphlett and Co.) appeared to prosecute. Wm. Jones, iTy'nllyn, Abergele, game- keeper, stated that on his usual rounds 0:1 October iSth he saw four men ferretting on the land at Ty Isa', Cell, and he asked one of them named John Jones, who had a permit to catch rabbits, why he had such a crew with him. Jones replied he had only one of them as his mate, who was the de- fendant. Witness asked Foulkes for his per- mit, but he replied he had none, that he was only assisting John Jones. Defendant said he was ignorant of the law on the matter, and did not think he was do- ing wrong when he went to help John Jones. The Chairman 'said a breach of the law .had been made, and i fine of 2s. 6d would be made, but the costs would be remitted, owing to there being an evident misunder- standing upon the matter on the part of the defendant. The Justices were anxious I that the defendant and others 'should get to know the law on the point. John Conlin, Tai, Abergele, who did not piit in an appearance, was charged with trespassing on the isa-nic day in the same place. The keeper reported rtihat this person had given a wrong address in the first instance. The Bench fined him ios. and costs, to include an advocate's tee. ALLEGED ASSAULT ON THE POLICE. A LLANFAIR TALHAIARN CASE DISMISSED. Police Constable Richard Thomas Wil- liams, stationed at Llanfair Talhaiarn, charg- ed Evan Evans, of Rhydyrarian, Llansan- nan, fal rn labourer, with assauhing him on October 17th at New Quay, near Llanfair Talhaiarn The defendant Evans had also issued a summons against the constable for assault on the same occasion. Mr. J. D. n. Osbcr; appeared :or the constable, and Mr. Joseph Lloyd, of Rhvl, I defended Evans. Mi. Osborn stated that on the night of the offence the constable entered the boot shop in New Ouay, and there was a gang ot unruly young rr.cn using bad language outside whilst he was inside. The defend- ant and Cuvilym Vaughan were amongst the crowd, and were Hying to irritate the con- stable. The constable spoke to the de- endant and a.,1-4ed him to move on. He replied he was going into the shop, and the constable told him to go in. Defendant replied that he bad no light to move him, and that he would get the constable strip- ped, amd that he would lose his situation. The defendant hen dropped the con- stable and broke- his (defendant s) stick and struck the constable right over the eye with his fist, and hit him again with a part of the stick. In consequence of the injuries he had received, the constable was under the care of a doctor for five days, and was off duty for two days It was a verv serious case, when such persons as the defendant were anxious to score off the constable. He hoped the Bench would inflict a severe penalty. 1 he constable gave evidence in corrobora- tion of his advocate's statement. By Mr. Lloyd He admitted that tthe de- fendant had told him that he would not go into the shop ,at his orders. He had spoken to the defendant three times in the fourteen months he had been located in the district. He had been seventeen years in the force, and had been stationed at Nantyglyn, Llan- gollen, Llantysilio, and Johnstown, and he was still a constable. By Mr. Osborn: He did not strike the de- fendant, but the defendant struck him once with his hand and once with his stick. Robert Owen, llanfair Talhaiarn, farmer, said the constable was standing in front of the counter of the shop when he was there, and there was a crowd of persons outside. One was swearing, and the constable spoke to him about it. That man went away. The others also went away afterwards. The defendant when asked to go away said he was not making a noise, and said he wanted to go in the shop, and the constable told him to go into the shop and then go away. The defendant declined to go in the shop when ordered by the constable. He saw the constable later with a bruise above the eye, which was bleeding. He did not see the fight or the blow .given. Llias Hughes, Boot Stores, New Quay, Llanfair Talhaiarn, said he was m his shop, and the constable and Robert Owen came in. Witness gave corroborative evidence as to Evans refusing to go to the shop at the constable's order. He also heard a scuffle, and saw Williams bruised, but did not see the fighting. Mr. Lloyd addressed the Bench, and said the country was justly proud of its police force, and it was a matter for congratula- tion that the cases against that force were not many as to the conduct of the police. It had been necessary at times to change the locality of an offending policeman, and it was remarkable that after seventeen '\ears in the force the complainant in this case was nothing more than a mere police-constable. He hoped the Bench would treat the evi- dence in this case as they would in an or- dinary case. The defendant was a man of good character, had a five years' testimonial from his employer, was a good, honest work- man and sober, and it was endeavoured by the prosecution to say that the alleged as- I sault was unprovoked and premeditated. I lie submitted that lhe complainant had not I ■told the (truth in the matter, and that his tale was unreasonable. He (Mr. Llovd) would produce evidence to show that the constable was the aggressor and struck j Uvans first. Evan Evan- gave evidence, and said that he was a teetotaller. On the night in ques- tion he went to Llanfair and spoke to Gwilym Vaughn close to the boot shop at New Quay. There were also three boys speaking together not far awav. Vaughan and himself were not with them. The com- plainant came out of the shop whilst he was speaking to Vaughan, and he came up to them and said, What do you waiu here?" Witness replied he wanted to go into the shop. The constable replied, Go in the shop, then." Witness responded that he would go in the shop when he liked, and said ito the constable, If you don't leave me alone, I will make you lose your place." He replied. I do not care if 1 lose it to- night. itness had only spoken three times to the constable on previous occa- sions. The constable pushed him, when witness was standing with his hands in his trousers pockets, and a stick under his arm. The stick and his cap dropped. The con- stable trod on the stick as Vaughan went round to try and pick it up. He received a blow from him across the head with pan of the stick which was broken, and wheir he further tried for his neck witness "went' for him and struck the constable over the eye in self-defence. By Mr. Osborn: The first time he ever spoue to the constable was when he told him that he ought to have summoned a man with a motor bike as well as a cyclist. It was true that the constable had asked him if he came to Llanfair to kick up a row, and although he did not cause any trouble the officer was worrying him. He had been around the village of Llanfair with youths many a time, but they were not a gang of young roughs, and he was not the ring- leader. leader. I Mr. Osborn: Didn't you blush when you heard your chaiacter from Mr. Llovd? Witness: I don't know. (Laughter.) Have you always had the beautiful char- acter he gave you?—Yes. Mr. Lloyd: Whether he blushed or whether he has had a beautiful character does not affect the question. It is a ques. tion as to whether he was (assau'/ed, or whether he assaulted the policeman. W<j can all see his blushes for ourselves. (Laughter.) By Mr. Osborn He admitted that he had once paid costs in an assault case which bad been withdrawn but he could explain the whole circumstances. He was sure that he did not touch the constable until he was struck after being pushed. Gwilvm aughan, Ty'n-y-Ffrith, Llanfair, corroborated the defendant, and said it was the constable who first pushed Evans and caused his stick to drop. He tried to pick up his stick and cap, but the constable got hold of the stick, and after a brief struggle Evans let go the stick and Williams broke it, afterwards striking Evans over the head with a portion of it. P C. Williams struck the firslt (blow, and Evans only defended himself. By Mr. Osborn The constable had told him to move off many a time when he was sitting on the bridge at Llanfair, but the constable allowed his own pals to sit there. (Laughter.) He believed the constable had a grudge against him, as he had told his employer many a time that he would have summoned him but for his master. lie be- lieved thte constable had spite against Evans. David Evan Roberts admitted that he swore outside the shop in Llanfair, but did so without thinking. (Laughter.) P.C. Wil- liams pushed, struck and nearly choked Evans, after which defendant defended him- self. After further evidence, the Bench retired, a^d on their return to ( ourt Dr. Peter Jones (who presided over this case), said, The Bench have considered this case very care- fully, and they are not at all satisfied with the evidence which has been given, especi- ally for the prosecut:on. There is no cor- roborative evidence in that matter for the prosecution, and we believe that the wit- nesses for the prosecution have not stated all they ihave seen. We believe the con- stable was justified in going out and getting these young people moved off, and even in pushing the defendant when he would not move on but at the same time there is no satisfactory corroborative evidence as to who struck the first blow, and on that account we are very reluctantly compelled to dis- miss both cases.

Colwyn Bay and District Rate- payers Association. THE COLWYN MEETING. To the ElInoR of the Weekly News." SIR, AS one of those who were present at the public meeting held here a fortnight ago under the auspices of the above-named Association, I, in common with others, felt that a much larger number of the ratepayers should have turned up. And why, may we ask, were there not more present? What was the true answer? I would like to sug- gest a few thoughts for consideration, one or other of which may have accounted for the absence of so many from the meeting and I would do so by asking a few further questions Was the meeting sufficiently ad- vertised? Was it clear what, if anv, were the practical purposes of the meeting? Were, the Colwyn ratepayers satisfied that their interests would be promoted bv the Colwyn Hay and District Ratepayers Asso- ciation ? Whatever may be the answers to the first two qeries, there can be no question that Colwyn has its own very special require- ments, to the need of which only Colwyn ratepayers can be expected to be alive. Colwyn Bay is well cared for; and so is Rhos. This fact should rouse Colwyn to demand its rightful share of improvements at the hands of the Council. Colwyn wants better roads, better streets, better parapets. It wants name plates to tell people where they live, and the rate collectors (?) where they may find us. Colwyn wants more and better lights. Residents, as well as visitors, have to feel their way about at night. They have eyes, but they see not." Would Colwyn Bay or Rhos tolerate such a state of affairs? Colwyn representees on the Council, I feel sure, can do much more for Colwyn if the ratepayers will only wake up, and form an Association of their own. WT13' not?—I am, etc., Colwyn. II. O. HUGHES.

Marks mentioned the case of the Supervisor of Inland Rvenue v. Owen Hughes, Gyffin, Conway, who was charged with certain offences under the Excise Acts, and asked the Bench to adjourn the hearing nil the next Court at Conway on December 5th. The Excise authorities recognised thaa the defence had scarcely had time to pre- pare their case. Mr. Drake, on behalf of the Exise author- ities, orfered no objection to the applica- tion, and it was granted. A VISIT TO LLANDUDNO. A neatly-dressed, superior-looking young man named Dennis Morgan was charged at the instance of Deputy Chief Constable Rees with obtaining money under false pre- tences. It appeared that the prisoner had been brought tip in the custoay oi two warders from Lincoln prison, where he is at present undergoing a term of imprisonment on two other charges. The Deputy Chief Constable stated that on August 3rd last year the accused called at the Royal Oak Hotel, Llandudno, and asked for rooms. He said his father had taken a big mansion at St. Asaph and he (prisoner) wanted to remain at the hotel for a few weeks pending the carrying out of certain structural alterations at the mansion. It was arranged that prisoner should pay 30s. a week for his board and lodging. After staying at the hotel for a week, Dennis asked the landlady to cash for him a cheque for f5, as he wanted to go to Liverpool, and would be back next day to settle up his account with her. He went to Liver- pool, and that was the last heard of him at the hotel. Mrs. S. Greenwood, wife of the licensee of the hotel, gave evidence in confirmation of the Deputy Chief Constable's statement. Mrs. Greenwood explained that her hus- band observed m the prisoner's presence that he was going to Liverpool, whereupon prisoner said he would like to accompany him. He explained that it was to get to Liverpool he wanted to have the cheque cached. When he presented the cheque at the bank it was returned marked No ac- count." It was on the strength of the pri- soner's statement that his father had taken a mansion at St. Asaph that she cashed the cheque and accommodated him at the hotel. D. Roberts Jones, accountant at the North and South Wales Bank at Denbigh, gave formal evidence that neither Dennis nor W illiim Morgan had any account at that bank. The cheque produced had, he as- sumed, been obtained in an improper man- ner. because it was one of three cheques is- sued by the bank in a book to Mr. Samuel Powell, since deceased. P S. Evans (Conway) said the prisoner had been handed over to his custody at Conway that morning, and when charged with the offence in question he said he had nothing to say, adding I plead guilty." The Deputy Chief Constable proved a number of previous convictions against the accused, some of them on account of similar offences. In October of last year he was sentenced at Lincoln to two terms of eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labour, both sentences to run concurrently, and he would not complete that term until January 14th next. Dennis accepted the Justices' sentence to six months' further incarceration with a smile, and nimbly leapt down from the box to the warders, one of whom promptly snapped the handcuffs on his wrists. DRUNKENNESS. R. Jones, Marian, Pjdew, pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly in Castle- street, Conway, but as this was his first of- fence he was fined 2s. 6d. and costs onlv. David Roberts, Ilendre Cottages, Conway, was muicted in is. and costs for drunkenness on October Sth. Robert Jones, Rathbone-terrace, Deganwy, and David Jones, Park-terrrace, Ty wy n, pleaded guilty to being on the licensed premises of the Ship Inn, Penmaenbach, Conway, on Sunday, October 9th, the latter however pleading lor leniency on the ground that he was under the impression that he had walked the necessary three miles to en- title him to a Sunday drink. The Deputy Chief Constable The Ship is of course within the three miles limit in this case. The two men were fine 2s. 6d. and costs each. V'OT GRIST HEAVILY FINED. Geoffrey Nield NN-hitehead, of Langley Baildon, Yorks, pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving a motor car to the common danger on Sunday October 2nd. Mr. J. J. Iarks (fessrs. Marks and Marks, Llandudno), who appeared for the police explained that the defendant was driving his car at a speed dangerous to the public cut 3.15 p.m. on Sunday, October 2nd, between Old Colwyn and Llysfaen, on that part of the road generally known as the Penmaen- rhos-road, the Wesleyan Church being situ- ated in the immediate vicinity. Comment was frequently made that police officers' statements in motor cases were not backed up by the evidence of civilian witnesses, but in this case there would be no dearth of independent evidence. However, one of the witnesses was a police officer who was dressed in plain clothes on the occasion in question, and he would tell the Bench that at the time referred to he saw the defend- ant's car dashing up and proceed in the direction of Llysfaen. The car was proceed- ing at a very fast pace and was undoubtedly a danger to the safety of the public, having particular regard to the fact that there were many people in the roadway at the time coming out from Sunday Schools. The officer shouted to the driver and held up his hand. but no notice was taken of him, the car proceeding on its way. There was a notice warning motorists against speedy travelling on the load at that point. David Owen Roberts and other witnesses would speak to being obliged to jump to the wall along the roadside in order to get out of the ddendanfs way, and it was reallv a miracle that somebody had not been knocked down by the vehicle. P.C. J. Williams (29) gave evidence bear- ing out in part Mr. Marks' statement. He described the car as going at a verv dangerous speed-in my opinion at over 35 miles an hour. There was no footpath along the thoroughfare at the spot where he saw the car, and there were many people about who had juU left Sunday School. Cross-examined by Mr. Hallmark Though the car was going up hill at the time he repeated that the car was travelling at 35 miles an hour. lie knew it was a powerful car from its length. -dr. Hallmark So the longer the car the greater the power? Witness: You can tell whether a car is powerful from the length of the engine. What do you know of motor cars?—I have been through a few of them I was a black- smith before I joined the force. Witness added that there were about 100 people about the road at the time. David Owen Roberts, of Penmaenrhos, said there were about So members attached to the Sunday School he attended, and there were other schools all of them break- ing up at much the same time. He was accompanied by a boy named David Pritchard when he saw the car coming along at a great pace. He thought it was making straight for him, and he jumped up against the wall to avoid being run over, and the car even then nearly touched him. The car went at a speedier rate than any motor he had previously seen. David Prichard had to jump to the wall behind him.

The weather on Thursday was wretched, but a large and representative attendance braved the elements to pay their last tribute of re- spect to their departed friend.

The choir were in attendance and the hymns, Now the labourer's task is o'er and Peace, perfect peace," were sung, while at the conclusion of the service the organist (Mr. H.
