Gentlemen.—For years I took a glass of Malt Liquor before dinner to create an appetite, as I was a poor feeder. Seme months ago I heard of your Extract for making Beer. I cave it a trial and have ever since used it as a substitute for the other, and the result is most satisfactory. After beihg bottled a few days it is as bright and sparkles like bottled Ale. Since taking it I have been free from the cruel pains of Indigestion. from which I had suffered a long time. Now instead of going to the "public-house" in the evening for my usual glass, I smoke my pipe at home, drink nty Herb Beverage and enjoy it, go to bed and slp soundly. I have recommended it to many others, who have tried it with like result. Your agent here thought I ought to give you a testimonial. I am, Sirs, yours truly, J.W. A bottle makes S gallons.

! DEAN'S REMARKABLE SPEECH.…
DEAN'S REMARKABLE SPEECH. Addressing a congregation of friendly society members assembled near Norwich on Sunday, the Dean of Norwich (Dr. Russell Wakefield) I said — "We have now upon the Throne a King who, 'I to my pergonal knowledge, is a man of intense self-sacrifice and high character. Against him one has heard brought two-accusations, brought, as I think, by that part f society which is no society at all; but these things percolate down, and it is just as well when speaking before a mass of people one should give the lie to those two accusations. "In the first place, the King is sometimes accused of insobriety. Y av take it from me, on undoubted au1l th^t that is a libel. As f;r as his clos" iriends have noticed him, he has never been <perate through- out his life, but, on th, ltrary, is a man who, even from the pci of view of health, has to be abstemious, aI. has no desire to be anything else. I want vou generous-hearted men, when you hear 6o I jjht, stupid talk I with regard to this irre\ nee to our King, to say with absolute confio that there is not a more sober, temperate, quiet-living man in this country than King George. "The other accusation is still more unworthy. It is that before his marriage he had what is called a secret morganatic marriage. That is I absolutely, root and branch, an untruth. King George is a, man who, with a wife of like dis- position ro himself, has been wont, during his leisure, to sit in his garden with his young i children round him, just as anyone of us might do in our own patch of garden. He has now undertaken the greatest responsibilities which any man can undertake, and I ask for him i justice. f;ir dealing, confidence, loyalty, and love in his task.
! WAITING AT THE CHURCH.
WAITING AT THE CHURCH. GIRL WHO CHANGED HER MIND. In an action for. damages at Londonderry Sessions for breach of promise of marriage brought by George Donaghy, a middle-aged shopkeeper, of Londonderry, against Miss Elizabeth McCloskey, of Dungiven, some amusing evidence was given. The plaintiff, it was stated, met a Mr. McGowan, who suggested that he (the plain- tiff) should get married, and that he knew a nice country girl. The plaintiff said he had no objection, and the couple met in Mr. McGowc.n's hou.se. Mrs. McGowan said she made a good fire "and settled them comfortably," and then sent her husband to bed, following him after a time. When she came down in the morning they were still tfirre, and said they had decided to get married. The plaintiff stated that the marriage was arranged for Easter Monday at Dungiven. He got a letter from the defendant telling him to be sure "to fix himself up in his best style," (I not to scruple about the fee, as she had » little money coming to her. He went to the church for the marriage, but the defendant did not turn up, and the priest said she had changed her mind. The defendant said she broke ofT- the mar- riage because she "heard something about him." The Recorder remarked that Donaghy was the mildest lover he ever knew. He arranged the m:'rriage but he never wrote, he gave no ring. and sent no flowers, and in fact did nothing but turn up on the appointed day. Was it any wonder the girl broke off the In a.toh? The jury returned a verdict for the de- fendant.

TRAGEDY OF CONSUMPTION. Arthur Charles Haley, the Erith consumptive who told the police that he had killed his ten- year-old daughter Amelia to put her out of her • misery because he thought she "was going the same way as himself," was committed to the assizes by the Dartford magistrates. Haley, who is aged thirty, looked pale and dejected as be sat in the dock while the evi- dence was given. He did not question any of the witnesses, and said he did not wish to make a statement. Mr. Holmes, who prosecuted on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions, said the circumstances of the tragedy were quite simple and very sad. The accused lu>.d been unable to obtain work for some time (wing to consump- tion. On the day before the tragedy he ob- tained a.n order for 3s. worth of groceries from the parish, which for some reason or other he wa.S unable to' get. He seemed to have had a grievance in connection with this, and, in con- sequence, did the deed with which lie,was now charged. The police divisional surgeon said the girl had been perfectly healthy and well nourished. In the post-mortem examination of her body he failed to delect any signs of consumption. Ex- amining the prisoner on the evening of the tragedy he found that the man was quite rational, but very weak and ill, and in an advanced stage of consumption.

Denbighshire Magisterial I Appointments. COLONEL CORNWALLfS WEST'S EVIDENCE. The Royal Commission on the Selection of Justices of the Peace held its final sit- ting' for receiving" evidence on Wednesday nd the last witness to appear before it was Colonel ComwaHis West lord lieuten- ant of Denbighshire. Lord James of Hereford presided. Colonel Corttwalis West, who was ap- pointed lord Heutenaoc ta 1872, said he had no hesitation in saying- that, so far as 'I his experience went,, the public were, on the whole, perfectly satisfied that the jaw- was at present fairly, justly and impar- I tially administered, Frequently, mem- bers of Parliament made suggestions to as to the appointment or justices of the I peace, but he had never allowed political 1 considerations to influence him.—The Chairman Is your bench as at present constituted tinged at all by political nom- ination West Of the 205 magistrates taking an active part in the administration of the Petty Sessions, 1021 are known Conservatives, go are recog- nised as Liberals, and the politics of the remainder are doubtful or unknown. Since the removal of the qualification, numerous professional men and tradesmen had been appointed and had satisfactorily performed the duties of the office. He did not object to the appointment of a very small advisory Committee to act with the ilord lieutenant in the selection of justices With regard to the equalisation of politi- cal representation on the Bench, there had always been a majority of Conservatives on the Bench. He was strongly of opin- ion that political considerations should not enter into the question at all character and fitness for the duties were tha only standard he had applied. Wales was fortunate in having fairly equal represent- ations of political parties. In his own r.oanty, so far as he was concerned, that was merely accidental. He should like to see members ot Parliament debarred from making recommendations. The Commission afterwards proceeded to the consideration of their report.

Ruabon Press and Doan's. The publication in the Ruabon Press, of instances of local men and women having been cured of kidney and bladder disorders by Doan's backache kidney pills, has awakened such widespread interest that we have commissioned one of our repre- sentatives to investigate them, and to as- certain whether the cures have proved lasting. To day we give the evidence of a Chirk man. Mr William Wilson, JHving at 122, Chirk green, Chirk, nr. Ruabon. says I am sure Doan's backache kidney pills have done me more good than any other medi- cine I ever took in my life. For years f suffered terribly with pains in the back and across the loins. I have a great deal of stooping to do, and I have been so bad then that I could hardly straighten myself. The pains were al- most unbearable at times. There were also urinary troubles the secretions were highly-coloured and contained sediment I was tormented with sciatica in the right hip and leg. My feet and ankles used to swell and ache very much. I tried all manner of things, but got no relief until I used Doan's backache kidney pills. I have taken half-a-dozen bosces of these, and am glad to say that my back is better the kidney secretion are clear and natur- al. The sciatica is also a great deal bet- ter and my feet and ankles don't swell now. I am very grateful for the good Doan's pills have done me, and I am al- ways recommertding them.. (Signed) W.

! Denbighshire Assizes.
Denbighshire Assizes. THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF THK ASSIZE SYSTEM. The Denbigh Assizes were held at Ruthin on Friday before Mr Justice Je!p. His lordship attended service at St Peter's Church, accompanied by the High Sheriff (Mr Godfrey Fitzhugh), the Under Sheriff (Mr J Parry Jones), and the Sheriff's Chaplain (the Rev Rhys Price, Bersharti) who conducted the vice. Addressingthe grand jury, of whom Colonel Cornwailis West was foreman,, Mr Justice jeip briefly referred to the national grief caused by the death of King Edward, and expressed a hope that alt would be stirred by the circumstances of the last few weeks to a feeling of loyaHty to the present Sovereign. Referring to the calendar, his lordship said he was glad to find that in the county of Denbigh, as lin almost every other Welsh County crime was of the smallest possible discrip- tion, so far as numbers went. The foreman, on behalf of the grand jury handed to the Judge a presentment again- st the proposed alteration of the Assize Circuits. A memorial to the same effect was presented on behalf of the Ruthin Corporation and a resolution on behalf of the Denbigh County Council.—Mr Justice Jeip said his personal sympathy was en- tirely with the memorialists. He had had an experience of fifty years of the assize system, and he was confident that a visit of a judge, with the surrounding circum- stances. was of great importance to the counties through which he past. More- over, the removal of the assize from a county might: lead to a great injustice, so far as witnesses were concerned. Candidly, he thought the change would I be a penny wise a id a pound foolish pol- icy, and in his opinion it would be better to retain the present system. (Hear hear.
-----._-----------Denbigh…
Denbigh County Council. On Friday, a special meeting of the Denbigh County Council was held at Wrexham. COMMON LAND CONFERENCE. A letter was read from the Carnarvon County Council inviting the Council to ap- ¡ point delegates to a conference on Welsh common lands. Colonel West said he could not see that anything could be gained by consid- ering the question of the restoration of land. It would only be a waste of time. They could not take land from persons whq had been in possession for 40 or 50 years without consficating it. He be- lieved that in years to come confiscation would become general. Mr MacNicholl also objected to the word restoration, but by a large majority it was decided to appoint Alderman Samuel, Mr I Gomer Roberts, Mr J. Roberts andMr D. S. Davies to represent the Council at the conference. Messrs Fitzhugh and W. Pen Dennis were appointed to represent the Council on the Denbighshire Territorial Associa- tion. NORTH WALES ASSIZES. A letter was read from the Ruthiqr Town Council asking the County County to support their petition against the pro- posal to remove the Assizes from Ruthin to Chester. Mr E. Roberts said the movement showed a lack of confidence in Welsh juries. Alderman Jones said if the Assizes were to be moved at all they should be transferred to Wrexham, which was the most important town in North Wales. It was decided to support the petition.
Rey Gwynfryn Jones on Saxon…
Rey Gwynfryn Jones on Saxon Invasion of Wales. The Rev Gwynfryn Jones, who was the principal speaker at the Wesleyan Confer-" ence at Holyhead, on Monday, said he was delighted that Methodism in that town had at last been properly housed. He hoped that it would be a new begi'n- ing not only for the county but through- out Wales. He was afraid that the Wes- leyan Conference had somewhat neglect4 d the question of English Methodism in the principality. During recent years there had been a great influx of English- speaking people into Wales in fact a tremendous Saxon invasion had taken place. He did not think the Conference had done what it should to cope with this influx. He found that in Wales the English Churches were mostly Methodist and though he said it in no grudging spirit, he yet felt that their own Confer- ence had not made proper provision. There was another branch of the Method- ist Church in Wales, and they had gone far ahead. They were very powerful to- day, though he did not think that they ought to be where they were had the Conference done its duty. In 1811, elev- en years after the inaugeration of Wes- leyan Methodism in Wales, the Calvinis- tic Methodists had only three more chap- els, now they had 700 more. He did not blame them a bit-he honoured their sag- acity and their industry, which he com- mended to the consideration of their Eu*- iglish authorities.
