PHYSIOGNOMY.—On Wednesday, Mr. William Williams, County School, gave an address on Physiognomy at the Mutual Improvement Society. He maintained that reading character from the expressions of the face is practised by almost every one as an art, but that the various systems by which it has been attempted to reduce it to a science, with an established code of laws, are practically ignored. A very interesting dis- cussion ensued, in which all the members took part. The chair was occupied by Mr Evan Jones. CHURCH MEN'S SOCIETY SERVICE. —On Sunday afternoon, at the Parish Church a special service for the members of the above Society, was held. This was an innovation in the work of the Society, and that it was appreciated by the members was shewn by the fact that over seventy were present at the service. The special service prepared by the Church Men's Society was intoned by the Rector, and the members joined heartily in the rendering of the office. The singing of the hymns by the men was a marked feature of the service. The Rev. Jenkyn Jones, Curate of the Parish, read the Lesson, and at the close gave a masterly address on the words—" And thou, if thou be converted, strengthen thy brethren." After dealing with the verse, more particularly in regard to the context, he offered suggestions to the members as to various ways in which they might help on the work of the Society. Mr. B. J. Rich, organist of St. Mary's Church, presided at the organ.

St. Asaph Board of Guardians.
St. Asaph Board of Guardians. CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE WORK- HOUSE. The fortnightly meeting of the above Board was held on Friday, when there were present: Mr. John Frimston (chairman) Mr. William Jones (vice-chairman) Mrs. De Ranee, Mrs. Howell Gee, Miss Gee, Rev. Canon C. F. Roberts, and Messrs. S. Perks, G. F. Gunner, John Roberts, John Pierce, J. Roberts Jones, Edwin Morgan, W. A. Watts Frank Bibbv, William Williams, Hugh Edwards, J. Ellis Jones, T. Pennant Williams, John Lothian, R. Armor Jones, John Morris, LI. B. Evans, R. Jones, (Prestatyn t, W. Conwy Bell, Isaac Batho, Robert Davies with the Clerk (Mr. Charles Grimsley), the Master (Mr. Robert Jones), and other officials. he Master's report showed that the pauper population of tiie Workhonse that day was 166, a decrease of 21 on the population a year ago, and the vagrants relie ed during the past fortnight numbered 197, an increase of 18 on the number relieved a year ago. The Master also reported the receipt of parcels of reading matter for the use of the Workhouse inmates from M is Graves, Brynpolyn Mawr, St, As.nph, and Miss Williams, Cae Drain, Henllan. On the Master's application, the Board j Henllan. On the Master's application, the Board j sanctioned the fare usually provided for the W01 khouse inmates at Christmas, and a, suggestion that the Christmas dinner be given j on Boxing Day instead of Christmas Day was adopted. The Master said he would submit the bill of fare to the Board at their next meeting. The Vice-Chairman initiated a discussion on the questiou of granting extra relief to the out-door paupers during Christmas week. He thought that something extra snould be done for them as well as for those in the Work- house. Mr. Pierce suggested that an extra shilling be granted to each person, as before, and a notice of motion to this effect was given for the next meeting of the Board. THE TURLEY TROUBLE. I The Clerk reported the receipt of the following letter 1mm Messrs. Brookes Bros., Glanaber Mews. Vale Road. Rhyl, respecting I certain remar ks which he made at the last meeting of the Board, in connection with the maintenance in the Workhouse of the children of a man named Turley, who been prosecuted by the Board for falling into arrears with his contributions I was surprised to read in a report of the Guardians meeting, a statement made by you that it was your impression that the legal expenses were paid by the man's employers. As we arc the employers of Mr Turley, we are entiiled to know what led you to make this statement, and as it conveys to the public mind the impression that we were helping this man to fight the Guardians, and particu- larly to avoid having to maintain his children. We do not wish to be unpleasant in the matter, but such statements as these no doubt do us harm, we feel therefore bound to stop such imputations, and must ask you to insert in the next issue of papers in which the state- ment contained a notice withdrawing the statement also to explain to the Guardians at their next meeting, as they seem anxious to know, that we have not paid any solicitor, and we are not desitous of encouraging any- one to defraud the Guardians, and so mean extra expense, which would have to be added to the rates, which are heavy enough to hear in themselves. I am sure the Guardians do not wish such an imputation which you deemed it advisable to make. Are the Guardians anxious that we should dismiss the man ? We have nothing against him he does his duty to us and beyond that we have no further right to control him. Unless these imputations are cleared in the manner re- quested we shall have no other alternative than to consult our solicitor." Mr. Grimsley. after reading the letter, went on to explain that at the last meeting of the Board he was asked by one member whether he had found out who paid the ex- penses incurred in defending Turley in the Police Court proceedings, and he replied that ha was under the impression that Turley's employers found the money. He was quite prepared to give the Board his reason for saying what he did. Before taking the case to the Police court he made it his business to see Turley's employers, and he ascertained from them that the man's wages were 251- per week, or 5/- per week less than the wages he was getting in 'the previous situation. He failed, however, to see any books showing what the man's wages were, and when he subsequently saw the man, be said that he never had more than 20/- per week. After hearing that he came to the conclusion that there might be some arrange- ment whereby a portion of the money the man was earning went to meet the cost of his defence. The Chairman suggested that the Clerk should write to Messrs Brookes Bros., ex- pressing regret for the imputation that had been cast upon them. The Clel-k said he did not want to cast un- fair imputations on anyone. In this matter lie had only stated what was his impressi. n. Mr. Batho said that one of the members of the firm of Brookes Bros., had approached him on the subject, and he was very much grieved that such a surmise should have been made with regard to the firm. The Brookes's were very highly respectable people—(hear, hear).-atid what they complained of did seem, on the face of it, a sort of reflection on their characters. Of course, they as a Board could not compel the Clerk to express regret for anything he had done in the matter. But something, he thought should be done. The Clerk-I have given the reason for the impression I formed in connection with this matter. The Chairman said he was sure the Board did not wish to fasten any blame upon the Clerk in connection with his conduct of the proceedings against Turley (hear, hear). This man had been several pounds in arrears with his contributions to the upkeep of his children in the Workhouse, He had been allowed plenty of time for paying the money, but they had only been able to get very small sums from him from time to time. More than once he had appeared before the magistrates in respect to the arrears, and there certainly secured some ground for surmise from the fact that he was able to get a solicitor to act for him. He believed it was said at the last hearing that some friend or stranger was paying the solicitor. The matter was then dropped.

Carnarvon Boroughs Election.
Carnarvon Boroughs Election. OPENING OF THE CONSERVATIVE CAMPAIGN AT CONWAY. SPEECH BY MR. AUSTIN JONES. INTERRUPTIONS ANID AN APPEAL. Mr. Austin Jones, the Conservative oppon- ent of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Carnarvon Boroughs, held his first public meeting in the campaign in the Town Hall, Conway, last (Wednesday) night. Col. H. Mostyn presided, and he was supported by the candidate and several local Conservatives. There was an excellent attendance, but it was noticeable that the majority were of the opposing colour. I The Chairman, at the outset, said he had the pleasing duty to introduce to them a plucky young Welshman in Mr. Austin Jones, who had come forward to carry the I Conservative colours in this momentous election. He dared say that there were nwiiy Liberal? in the hall, and he appealed j to them for a fair hearing. Mr. Austin Jones, who had an excellent recoption at the outset, said that some of them were not quite sure why they should have an election. (A Voice: Redmond.") He had no doubt that the interrupter was quite correct. The object of the election was that the people of the country should pronounce a verdict upon matters cf great importance. He did not ask for anything but simple, fair treatment, and an opportunity to speak on behalf of the party he represented. It was stated that constituencies should not be fought. That was unfair to the people in the constituencies. He did not propose to indulge in any abuse of his opponents. (Hear hear.) He wished to fight the election hard, but to fight it cleanly and honourably. (Hear hear.) The speaker went on to argue that the House of Lords had not rejected Bills sent up by the Liberal Government. If they had, the only thing to do was to clear them out. (Loud and continued aoolause.) He fancied that some gentlemen in their applause were under the misapprehension that the Liberal party were going to do something of the kind. They were jolly well mistaken if they did. (A Voice Wait and see.") That remark, continued the speaker, was not original. They had heard it before. If the Liberal Government was sent back to power, they would be there fcr five years, and they could establish Social- istic Measures, and could not be touched. The speaker referred to the visit of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer to Bow and Brom- ley, where he urged the electors to support Mr. George Lonsbury, whom, he alleged, was an out-and-out Socialist. Therefore, if the present Government was returned, what was to prevent those two gentlemen spring- ing up a nice scheme of Socialism next year. (Laughter.) That was a possibility, and he ventured to say not an extreme possibility. Referring to the Home Rule Bill, he said he did not approve of it. He objected to Home Rule for Ireland for the same reason as he would object to Home Rulp fnr Ullp M- cause he thought it would be bad. (Consider- able booing.) But he did not intend to pur- sue that much further. (Much laughter.) Why was he against it ? (A Voice Be- cause you are in the minority.") That was a very poor reason, and when he had ex- hausted his good reasons he would go to the interrupter for the bad ones. (Laughter.) He wished that Home Rule would be good for Wales, because he was a Welshman and fond of Wales. (Hear, hear and Voices Speak Welsh, then.") At this juncture there were loud cries for Cymraeg, Cym- raeg." When the speaker mentioned the name of Mr. Balfour a minute later, there was further booing. He (the speaker) had always been a Conservative, and the heredit- ary principle of the House of Lords was a very difficult thing to defend—(applause),— but let them remember the Liberal partv did not mean to alter it. He believed in having a strong second chamber. The Unionist party were going to create a strong second chamber. (A Voice: A Tory one.") No, replied the speaker, consisting of members of both parties. (Loud laughter.) In con- clusion he said there were, no doubt, earnest democrats present who would say that the will of the people should be the dominating feature in the management of the country. (Hear, hear.) He hoped to pay them another visit before the campaign was over, and he hoped that his opponents would be as kind to him again. He sincerely trusted, although they might differ throughout the election as to views they held, they would fight fairly, honourably, and cleanly. (Loud applanse.) The speaker had an excellent hearing throughout, and made quite an impression. The next speaker was Mr. Benjamin Baker, a Birmingham workingman Tariff Reformer, who spoke for a considerable time on the question of Free Trade and Tariff Reform. Several of this speaker's remarks drew forth interruptions, but they were all good-natured. The speaker was allowed to proceed for a few minutes, and afterwards there was con- siderable interruption at the back of the hall by the stamping of feet, and Three cheers for Lloyd George." A promise by the speaker that he would only be three more minutes was not listened to, and the stamp- ing continued. Councillor James Stott immediately rose to his feet and implored them to give the speaker a fair hearing, but the crowd con- tinued cheering for Mr. Lloyd George, and Mr, Stott sat down with the remark That is the usual Liberal argument." A Conservative voice in the crowd was heard to shout Never mind, we will pay them back to-morrow night," and then the whole of the audience at the back commenced singing Sospan bach." At this juncture, County Councillor Ralph Fisher rose to his feet, and was received with loud cheers. He appealed to the audience to allow the speaker to proceed. This appeal was effective, and the speaker proceeded. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the Chairman, on the proposition of Mr. Austin Jones. Outside a large crowd awaited the candi- date, who was received with cheers and boo- ing. A number of police had been drafted into the town, but their services were not re- quisitioned.
Llanrwst Rural District Council.
Llanrwst Rural District Council. EGLWYSBACH GRIEVANCE. The monthly meeting of this Council was held on Tuesday, the Rev H. Rawson Wil- liams presiding. There were also present Messrs. William Williams (Vice-Chairman). John Roberts, David Owen, Edward Edwards, J. O. D. Jones, Evan Roberts, R. 0. Williams, and John Owen with the Clerk, Mr. Thomas Hughes; and the Surveyor, Mr. Maurice Roberts. A letter was read from Mr. David Jones, Ty'nddol, Llangernyw, thanking the Council for their letter of sympathy. The Surveyor reported on the Dolhyfryd 'footpath, Eglwvsbach, stating that at times the water overflowed and made it awkward for pedestrians, but these occasions were very rare, and he was of opinion that it was the duty of the Parish Council or County Council ♦to take steps, as it ■was -withrn their jurisdic- tion. 'Mr. R. O. Williams (Eglwysbach) said that before the next meeting they intended to hold a parish meeting, and by the next meeting they would be able to say something on the matter. Plans for the erection of farm buildings at Gwernhowell, Yspytty Ifan, were passed. A quotation for the supply of 60 cubic yards of stone from Mr. R. O. Roberts, Pant y Carw Quarry, delivered at 8s. 6d. per cubic yard, was accepted.

------<----THE COMBINATION.
< THE COMBINATION. DENBIGH v. BANGOR. DENBIGH MAINTAINS THEIR 1M PROVEMEN r. (BY VANGUARD.") Great interest was evinced in this game on Saturday, and an exceptionally large crowd assembled on the Graig Road ground in anticipation of a good game. Their hopes were fully realised for the play throughout was fast and exciting. This week De :bigii played Warburton of Ilelsby Athletic at centre forward. Bangor had a strong and capable team. The referee was Mr. Russell, of Chester, and the teams were Denbigh Goal, Sam Griffiths backs, J. Parry Evans and Dickens half-hacks, Cart- wright, E. C. Hughes and Tommy Davies' forwards, Tuckfield, E. E. Davies. Warbur- ton, Dick Thomas and Berwyn Davies. Bangor Goal, Ted Owen backs, A. Dargie and Jack Jones half-backs, D. T. Davies, Alf. Thomas, and J. Jones forwards, R. M. Evans, R. Owen. T. Wiight, H. Davies and A. Oliver. The weather was fine but the ground was very sodden and slippery. Berwyn lost the toss, and had to play up the slope. The Denbigh forwards wer e early displaying fine dash coupled with pretty combination. War- burton hit on immediately. He was tricky and fed both his wings well. The Bangor goal was visited again and again, and Jones and Dargie were given plenty of hard work to preserve their charge. At length Warburton got away nicely, and gave Owen no chance, after ten minutes of sensational play. The applause that greeted the performance fully testified to the hopes of the home supporters The visitors pulled themselves together sud- denly and invaded the home quarters. The pressure was sharp but decisive, and Wright was given possession with only a few yards between himself and the posts. Sam was helpless, and the ball dashed into the net unopposed. Berwyn galloped away on the wing, and sent tight in to Warburton, who passed to Dick Thomas. He drove in a I grand shot which Owen managed to fist out. But Ned Evan caught the rebound smartly and netted with a terrific shot. As the result of Jack Jones handling a few yards from his own goal a penalty kick was allowed Denbigh. It was taken by Ned Evan." The custodian made a good attempt, but the alert forward again caught the rebound and netted 'ere Owen could regain his footing. Denbigh, 3; Bangor, 3. For a time the dashing homesters con- tinued to press, but Wright, Bangor centre forward, soon let all know that he meant business, and in a short time after the re- start placed one more to Bangor's accouut, R. M. Evans eventually put on the equaliser for Bangor. Wright again caught the ball in exactly the same place from where he had netted his last. He took quick but careful aim. Sam evidently expected it along the ground, for the ball went home about a yard from the ground while Sam was wallowing in the mud. This completed Wrights' hat trick and also placed the visitors ahead. Final- Bangor 4, Denbigh 3. NOTES. How pleasant it is to be able again con- gratulate the Denbigh team. They are begining to understand each other much better now. Ned Evan is now a perfect treat. He places the ball in ideal positions for his colleagues. Warburton is most certainly an acquisition to the team. Although not very fast he is tricky, and can keep his wings well supplied. Sam was alert in goal. He saved some really smart shots. Dickins and J. Parry Evans were a surprise packet to the Bangor van. The half-back line was fairly strong. Tommy Davies kept Dick Moi at boy. Dick was certainly surprised at the old 'un's tact. The forward line was complete. They all understood one another. Tutkfield is very fleet and out ran his opponent on several occasions. Ned Evan wasa great favourite. Dick Thomas is fast regaining his old stvle. His shots are as straight as darts. Berwyn was as fast as ever, put in some good centres.

-04- Llanrwst Petty Sessions. BENCH EVENLY DIVIDED. On Monday, before Col. Higson, Messrs. L. W. Jelf Petit, W. B. Halhed, John Black- wall, Major Priddle, Messrs. W. J. Williams, and Edward Mills. CLAIM. Thomas Foster, Norton House, Colwyn Bay, claimed 19s. 10d., balance of wages due, and 14s., being a week's wages in lieu of notice, lrom Messrs. Waterworth Bros., Gazneau-street, Liverpool. Claimant stated that he was engaged as labourer at 14s. a week, and on Thursday, the "th October, the bailiff told him to go home at once. He refused to give him a week's notice, and told him to come on Saturday for his money. He came on the Saturday, and asked if he was to return on the Monday, and the bailiff told him no. The reason given was that he was playing instead of doing his work, but that was not true. William Rothwell, the bailiff, appeared on behalf of the defendants, and stated that the-lad was taken on by Mr. Waterworth a,, few days prior to witness's coming there. He sent him to do some work and instead of doing it he iound him throwing stones at the walnut tree, and damaging it. The Bench granted the claimant 14s., being a week's wages, and the costs of the Court. AFFILIATION CASES. The Bench sat until a late hour to listen to an action brought by Louisa Hughes, 9, Bryn Rhys, Glan Conway, against William Phillips, Lloyd-street Llandudno. Mr. Twigge Ellis appeared for the com- plainant, and Mr. J. J. Marks for the defend- ant. A host of witnesses having been heard for both sides, the Bench announced that they were evenly divided on the point, and con- sequently the case would have to be re-tried.
IThe Stock Exchange and the…
I The Stock Exchange and the Political Crisis. There is not a great deal of business pass- ing on the Stock Exchange, and dealers are mainly engaged in discussing the pending elections. Until these are over there does not seem any probability of business expanding at all, but in the meantime the temper of the house is quite satisfactory, thanks mainly to the steady improvement in the money market. The turn of the month in Lombard Str eet has been got over with much less pres- sure than had been anticipated, and it is evident that the lock-up of funds in connec- tion with month-end adjustments was well prepared for in advance. The inflow of gold into the Bank of England from places abroad has continued, with the result that discount rates have been ready to respond to the j slackening of loan conditions, since buyers of bills see in the strengthening of the status of the central institution an indication that the official minimum will probably be lowered shortly after the conclusion of the elections. Threadneedle Street continues to sectue the bulk of the metal which comes up for settle- ) ment in the bullion market from the Cape, and more gold has also been arriving in small lots from France, so that the Bank has been easily able to deal with the demands, which have sprung up for South America, and the further light withdrawals for Egypt. Domes- tic gilt edged securities have been the principal section to acknowledge monetary better merit, .as a matter of course, and when jt was revealed at the monthly consols settle- ment this week that the open position for a rise in the premier security had considerably contracted, the price went ahead very rapidly, making good a substantial portion of the heavy setback recorded during the previous monthly account. Home rails have been another department which has been notably benefitted by the slackening of monetary rates. Favourable Lumbard-street influences coupled with the good dividend outlook for th e current halt-year, has enabled quota- tions to throw off political fears, and prices have forged rapidly ahead, buying being dliefly of a I-eal or a professional character, since speculators for a rise are still shy. It may be mentioned here in connection with the present Political sittlatioll that the General Election has brought a fresh market into existence, which has been dubbed the "majority" market. This majority market is really a very active one, and reflects very accurately from day to day the views of the Stock Exchange on election probabilities in the light of the latest political news available. It was started by giving either political party the some position as in the last Parliament, or a "coalition" majority of 120. Those who believed that the Liberals would secure a larger majority went "bulls" at 120, while those of an opposite opinion operated in a different direction. Following the speech of Mr. Balfour at the Albert Hall, the figure broke to 45, and then recovered quietly to 60. Most dealings take place on a shilling denom- ination, but others have been on a sovereign basis, and in either case the bears have been securing heavy profits, the figure having halved itself since the market started. Some of the bulls" may have courage to hang on, until the final results of the elections are known, but this seems rather doubtful. Thee operations may appear to an outsider tl,1 be in the nature of a pure gamble, but the Stock Exchange man argues that they are a hedge" against his commitments in general markets, and expresses the opinion quite seriously that it would be of considerable advantage if there was always at hand a market, where he could effect a "hedge" against outside influences, which are not always calculable when entering upon specu- lative transactions. It used for a great number of years to be quite a usual thing for speculators of the bigger sort to always keep a hedge account going in Consols. Thus if they were "bulls" of long lines of home rails they would open a moderate "bear" account in Consols to cover themselves in case of anything developing in the nature of a national calamity to upset their calculations. Consols, however, have gone out of fashion with this class of operator as with others of late, because their market ability is no longer what it was, following the largely increased competition from gilt edged stocks with higher yields and restricted Sinking Fund payments. The fact that the "majority" market has been such a lively one, and has met with attention from the public, as well as from professionals, tends to encourage a favourable view with regard to the outlook, and maiket judges adhere to the opinion that Throgmoiton Street will probably experience something of a boom duri g the middle of December. It is clear, that the public are more willing to come forward if an opportunity is created for them. The effect of the rubber share mania early in the year has largely worn off. The rubber share market itself is much steadier, owing to the quiet advance which has been experienced in the raw material during the past six weeks on an expending industrial demand. When the revival does come it will doubtless break out in a spot where it is leas; expected. Many markets are getting ready attractive window displays with a view to securing chief patronage, but whether it will be the oil or the mining market, or the home railway or the American department which will obtain chief favour remains to be seen
