DENBIGHSHIRE MAWSTBATB'S SAD DBATH—On Monday, Br Hughes, ooroner for West Denbighshire, held an inquest at Eriviatt, on the body of Major Jocelyn Ffonlkes, the owner of Eriviatt Estates, and the oldest Magistrate of Denbighshire, who died on Friday. Dr Lloyd Roberts and Dr James Hughes, gave evidence showing that in their opinion the deceased died of heart failure, due to shock consequent on a fall from the bedroom window, and a verdiot in accordance with that view was returned. AOCUDBNT WITH A WATBB OABT.-On Thursday afternoon, a man named William Riley, was carrying water from the Roft Tob Well, when from some cause or other the horse bolted with the water barrel. Riley was knocked down and the wheel of the cart passed over bis thigh and lower part of his abdomen. The horse continued its mad galop along Coleshill- street and down High-street, but was eventually stopped. Police- constables William Thomas and E. Beirne removed the injured man to his home, where he was attended to by Dr. Williams and Dr. W. Owen Evans. Riley's injuries were of a very grave character, and he still remains under the care of Dr. Owen Evans. FLINTSHIRE BAPTIST FESTIVAL. The annual musical featival of the Flintshire Baptist Churohes was held on Monday last, at Rehoboth Calvinistio Methodist Chapel (kindly lent by the offioers of the ohapel). There was a large gathering from the s:veral churches within the county, including :-Mold, Tryddyn, Leeswood, Penyfron, Lixwm, Halkyn, Flint, Bagillt, Green- field, Holywell, Ffynnongroew, Oaerwys, St. Aeaph, Rhyl, Rhuddlan and Penygelli. There were two meetings held during the day, and the presidents were Mr Evan Bryan, Trade Hall, in the afternoon, and Mr U. Bromley, Perthyterfyn, in the evening. Both gentlemen gave handsome donations. The conductor of the singing was Mr W. T. Samuel, I.S.M., Swaneea, whose ability is well-known and highly appreciated by the ohoristers under his control. Mr J. Spencer Curwen, writing in the Musical Herald some short time ago, said of Mr Samuels, He is considered the best conductor of musical festivals in the Baptist denomination, his heart is in the worlr, and his experience is very great, for he has conducted between 400 and 500 festivals." The acoompanists were: organ—Mr B. H. Evans, Rhuddlan, and Mr E. P. Edwards, Holywell; pisuoforte-Mioi3 Robert, Mold, and Miss S. Wynne, Mostyn. The combined ohoir gave a capital rendering of the music selected for the festival. The hymn tunes included Oaerllyngoed,' Petersburg,' C Minnesota,' C Harlech,' Worms,' 'Mynydd Seion,' 'Bevan,' 'Moliant,' 'Bryn Terraoe,' Gorphenwyd,' Amana,' Gwawr,' Ewinp' Ardudwg,' Maintwrog,' and two English hymns, Strike for victory,' (Welsh words by Rev. T. Davies, Bethel) and Peaoe be still.' The anthem was 11 Gwyn ei fyd a ystyria wrth y tlawd" (Owaiu Alaw). The choral music was varied by solos given by Miss Nellie Roberts, Mold Miss Maggie Roberts, Holywell; and Mr John E. Pieroe (loan Ali- TT, lywall. The festival was most successful aid t..e credit for the excellence of the performance was greatly due to the thorough training the oholrs received at the preliminary rehearsals, in the Rhyl distrlot, by Messrs T. J. Griffith and H. Edwards; in the Holywell distriot, by Mr J. B. Thomas and Mr T. Bithell; and in the Mold distriot, by Mr J. Jones and Mr T. Collins. The effect of -such careful training was very distinot, and the singing generally showed consider- able improvement. Tha ordinary Conference of the Flintshire Baptist Union was also held during the day, under the presidency of Mr E. T- Davies, Rhyl, when it was decided that the musical festival next year be held at St. Asaph. The cordial thauks of the Baptist Connexion were accorded the officials of Rehoboth Chapel for the use of the building, particularly reoognising that it was not without inoonvenienoe in view of the preparations being made for the Quarterly Assembly. Votes of thanks were aooorded the presidents for their services. PROPERTY SALE. On Thursday last at the King's Head Hotel, a sale took place, of freehold and other property.

Low masses were celebrated at intervals from seven o clock, and at eleven o'clock high mass was celebrated. In honour of the feast the vicinity of the Church was deoorated with flags and bunting, and also the Now Hall and the entrance to the Well. Missa Coram Epiacopo was celebrated at eleven o clock, when the Right Rev. Dr. Mostyn, Bishop of Minevis, oooupied a throne on the Gospel side, of the sanotuary. This was the first time for his lordship to occupy a throne linoe the oreation of Wales into a Bishoprio The celebrant of the mass was the Rev Fr. Wright, S.J., St. Beuno's College deacon, Fr. Hy. Oorrigan; sub-deacon, Fr. Rankin, S.J.; assistant priest ts the Bishop, Fr. Jenniogs, Flint; deacons, Revs. Frs. Augustine and Felix, O.S.F.C., Pantassph. The scene I in the Church was very brilliant; the vestments of the priests, the floral decorations, the statues and pictures, illuminated by the clear sunshine, made an effeotive display. The music of the mass was very ably performed by the Choir under the direction of Miss C. Gregory, Spring Vale, the organist of the Chtirob. As the Bishop and procession of priests entered the Church, the Ecce Saoerdos Magnus" was sung by the ohoir. The lQaes rendered was St. Cecilia e" in B flat, by the Rev J. E. lamerr U.S.B, Ihe contralto solos in the were rendered by Miss K. M'Cabe, Liverpool; the tenor solos in the Kyrie and Gloria by Mr Jos. Howard, and the duet Et in carnatus eat" by Mr T. A. Lambert and Mr J. Howard. Mr W. Howard sang the bass solo in the Gloria, the solos in the Benedictus were given by Mr Howard, ard in the Agnus Dei by Mr Lambert. The offertory piece was Neukonim's "V eni, Sanete Spiritus," rendered by Mr W. A. Howard. After the celebration of Mass, a prooession was formed, headed by crozier and acolytes, the men walked flret, carrying a beautifully worked banner. The Sisters of St. Winefride's Convent preoeded the girls dressed in black and wearing white veils and red sashes. A magnificent banner of St. Winefride was borne by two men with girls holding the supporting ribbons. On the reverse of the banner were a coat of arms with the motto If Y gwir yn erbyn y byd (The truth against the world). Girls in white with red and blue sashes and others with wreaths of flowers, and carrying numerous banners, presented a pretty spectacle. The Bishop of Minevia, with the-priosts assisting at the oelebra- tion of the feast, were in the prooession. The Church Choir suoceeded the clergy, and the general congregation brought up the rear. The well. known hymn "Faith of our fathers," was first sung, and was followed by others. The prooession asoended Well-street and passing through Cross-street aad Whitford-street, amid a throng of people, proceeded down New Road to opposite the statue of the Sacred Heart at the New Hall, where a halt was made. Continuing down to the Well, another halt was made and hymns sung, and the procession returned to the Church. The whole ceremony was effective and the weather being very fine, the magnifioent banners were seen to the best advantage. In the evening solemn Benediction was held in the Church, the Rev Fr. Fletoher, Master of the Guild of Ransom, being the celebrant. The Rev Fr. Rankin, S.J., was the preaoher and he delivered an eloquent sermon on the lessons and examples to be obtained from the life and character of St. Winefride. After Benediction a service and procession was held at the Well, when Fr. Beauolerk delivered an address in which he said they had had many benefits that day for which they should be grateful. Their procession must have stirred even the hearts of those who did not understand their motives. He was aoxious that they should take away with them, at least, a sympathetic view of their devotion. One of their motives was, they prayed earnestly to God to restore the faith to this country. They did not mean by that, that the religious spirit was at present wanting. It was a great and wonderfully religious country and there was nothing to compare with it in the four quarters of the globe. They prayed that the old and true faith with its priceless gifts may be restored. The congregatior walked in procession round the Well and afterwards as a conclusion to the servioe venerated the relio of St. Winefride. A NEW HOLYWELL. INDUSTRY. A VISIT TO A BUSY HIVE. It is asserted that that man is a benefaotor of his kind who can make two blades of grass grow where but one grew before, and if that be so, as it undoubtedly is, the man, or corporation of men who can introdnce a new employment into a district' and afford work and ample remuneration to those who undertake it, must of necessity be benefactors not only to the district but to the whole surrounding country. Holywell, in times past, has been rich in varied industries, but the depression of recent years has left its unwelcome mark upon many formerly thriving oentres of labour. When, therefore, a new opening for energy with an undoubted prospect of remunerative suooesa appears, it is a feature which should be welcomed in the looality, and those who persevere in its establishment and development deserve the suooesa which their enterprise and perseverance entitle them to. The new under- taking to which we refer is the Gwalia Hosiery Company, Limited, which was started in April last, and which is now getting into fall operation. The mills are situated on the far-famed stream from St. Winefride's Well, and they are of their kind the most unique in North Wales. Residents in Elolywell-and visitors too if they have an eye to notice it,—will perceive that each market day weary men carrying heavy packs upon their backs, enter tue Market Hall to dispose of real Welsh knitted stockings, the product of the twilight labours of men and maid servants in the country districts of Merionethshire and elsewhere, or who to assist their scanty weekly earnings, sit up late at night knitting stockings and weaving weird folk-lore stories by tie pa'e and siokly light of the tanicyli bnoyn, as their forefathers did centuries ago. w. do not know whether such a striking instanoe of the old and new order of things can be found in the present day more vividly represented than in Holywell. The vendois of the old hand-knitted stockings stand by their stalls weekly, but olose by the stream from which Holywell derives its name have been erected manufactories where Welsh wool knitted stockings, by the aid of the most modern machinery yet invented, can be turned out by the scores of pairs every day. Suoh is the emphatic illustration given of the progress of science in the latter end of the nineteenth century. The new Company has been started under most favourable circumstances and to which suooess is apparently assured. The Company, unlike most such undertakings which bid for public support, did not appeal to the public for financial aid, its pro. moters having confidence in their project themselves found the capital to float and start the undertaking. In their initial movement they were fortunate to secure the adherence of Mr Wm. Brown, J.P., of Chester, a gentleman who has done such signal work to forward Holywell industries, and his son Mr F. Faulkaer Brown, M.A., whose names in the com- meroial world are sufficient in themselves to assata the b»n& fides of any undertaking in which they take an interest. In addition to these gentlemen, the directorate includes-Movisre Urias Bromley, Perth. y terfyn, Holywell; Hy. Lloyd Jones, J.P., Hold; Thos Jones Pownall, Mostyn Quay F Llewellyn Jones, Greenhill, and George Bromley, Holywell- whilst Mr Edward Dakin, late of Llanidloes, has been induced by the favourable prospects in front of the company to become managing director. It is not now necessary to say that made-up and knitted goods have become one of the most im- portant branobes of the textile trade at home and abroad. The wonderful improvement in machinery adapted for the above purposes has reduced the manufacture of ready-made goods and hosiery to an art of cheapness, beauty and perfection. The Com- pany undertake the manufaoture of sheets, stockings shawls, handkerchiefs, pants, vests, pyjamas, and underclothing of every description. In the pro. duction of this class of goods Mr Dakin has a per. feotly Intimate knowledge, and his services will 14 of great value, not only in the manufacturing do. partment but also in the disposal of goods, for no man is better known in the wholesale houses of the United Kingdom than Edward Dakin. The Company have shewed decided prudence in the commencement of th^ir operations^; they have not aspired to great thin^g, at the beginning, pre. ferring to Increase their premises and machinery with the progreasof the trade which their well-made home-manufactured goods are sure to oommand But still, as it is, a visit to the Gwalia Mills—a hive of busy industry, clean and natty work, and perfect order and discipline—will at once reveal that a master hand has devised the arrangements and directed the operations. The work was first started < by skilled lady operators, who, under Mr Dakin undertook the work of instructing young women of the neighbourhood into the intricacies of the marvellous stooking knitting and sewing machines and so rapidly have they acquired a knowledge of the work, that one young operator can now turn out not less than eighteen pairs of stockings per day. The various machines at work are marvels of modern mechanism, and many of them are perfectly automatic. Thus for instance one oats a button- bole to perfection, another stitches the button-hole In a faultless manner, whilst another stitohes on tb, buttons with an exactness which cannot be matched. But that is not all, flannel shirts are usually adorned j in the front with what the ladies call "feather I stitching "—another maohine does this, and does it too in such a way that no flaw can be found in it ¡ from end to end. Of the marvels of the stocking I machines, the various sewing machines, the outtiug r operations, the soonring and pressing machines, it is not our purpose to refer. Those persoDs-and ladies especially-who are interested in such operations as we have referred to, should endeavour to see the Gwalia Works, and we have no doubt they will receive from the manager every information they require, and be treated with the courtesy which is his wont. Lord Kenyon, the noble and genial chairman of the Flintshire County Counoil, is a great supporter of the movement for supporting Welsh industries; so too are the Countess Grosvonor, Lord and Lady Denbigh, Lord and Lady Mostyn, and Sir Pyers and Lady Mostyn, and the encouragement these persons of high position give to fostering and developing Welsh industries, especially in the manufacture of textile fabrics, is of the utmost im- portance. This is the particular line of the Gwalia Company, and they will undoubtedly oommand that success which their enterprise, forethought, and skill manifestly deserve.

MOLD. DBATH OF A MOLD GENTLEMAN. The death occurred on Thursday at Preswylfa, Mold, of Mr Wm. Parry, father of the present headmaster of Alan Intermediate Schools, Mr W. Lloyd Parry, B.A. The deaeased gentleman, who had long since retired from active pursuits, had attained the advanced age of 77 years. He was well-known throughout North Wales aa a prominent member of the Welsh Congre- gational denomination. DEATH OF MR. J. P. ADAMS. A most painful sensation was caused in the town on Sunday morning last, by the news of the sudden death of Mr J. P. Adams, the organist and choir- master of Mold Parish Church. Mr Adams was a member of the local crioket club, and on the previous day after rendering valuable service for his side, and praotioally winning the match for Mold, he com- plained of indisposition and left the ground for home. In the course of the owning he went to bed, and no alarming symptoms wecti manifested until five o'olook next morning. He grew rapidly worse, and died after eight o'clook, owing to a heart affeotion. The worshippers at the Parish Ohuroh on their way to divine servioe, were mystified by the faot that instead of the customary peals, a muffled bell was tolled up to eleven o'clock, and the majority of the congregation were unaware of the sad event until after the com- mencement of the servioe. The silent organ was an eloquent and slgnifioant testimony to the blow which had fallen with such terrible suddenness and mani- festations of grief were on all sides apparent. Speoial references were made from the pulpit and appropriate hymns were sung (unaccompanied), while in nearly all the other plaoes or worship in the town, the lamentable event was mentioned. Mr Adams was the eldest son of Mr E. Adams, grooer, and when quite a child he showed signs of unusual musical ability. His parents were assiduous in their care that the latent talent should be applied, and the young musician received the benefit of training at the hands of Mr Daniel Jones, Mr James Young (then OrganLt at the Parish Churoh), Madame Douglas Adams, and latterly of Dr. Bridge, of Chester Cathedral. His first appointment was that of Organist of the English Congregational Churoh at Mold, but in 1894 be was appointed Organist and Choirmaster of the Parish Ohuroh, which position he held at the time of his untimely demise: The funeral, which was of a publio charaoter, was held on Wednesday and was attended by upwards of 300 persons. The Revs. J. P. Poole-Hughes (vicar), Evan Jones and Herbert Evans (curates), and Stephen B. Jones (rioar of Caerfallwoh), officiated, and the musical portion of the servioe was admirably rendered by the surpiioed ohoir, Mr W. E. Biller (organist and ohoirmaster of St. John's, Egremont), conducting and presiding at the organ. Deceased, who was only 29 years of age, leaves a widow and one ohild, with whom universal sympathy is expressed. A large number of exquisite wreaths were sent, and it is also worthy of notice that his former comrades of the Orloket Club aoted as bearers.

DRUGS WON'T DO FREE TRIAL OF SOMETHING THAT WILL DO. You would be perfectly astonished if you were made aware of the many thousands of pounds absolutely thrown away from year to year upon so- called ouratives that are foisted upon a public only too willing to believe the specious arguments laid before them. t Even the hard-earned shillings of the very poor are wasted in this way in fact, it is to the ignorant, anxious to rid themselves of the various ailments which handicap them in the race for life, that suoh arguments are too often addressed. Now, strength and musoular activity, rosy oheeks, plumpness, and health can be obtained without medicine. The replenishing of the system from the wasting of tissues which is going on every day can only be accomplished by the proper assimilation of food. It eannot be done with medicine. It can, however, be accomplished with a perfect, flesh-forming palatable and agreeable Food-beverage. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Coeoa is such a Food-beverage, possessing, as it does, wonderful nourishing, strengthening and stimulative powers nnsnrpassed by any other Food- beverage. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Coooa is not a medicine. It does pimply what it is claimed to do, and its etrengthening powers are being recognised to an extent hitherto unknown in the history of any preparation. Medical men and the public are offering conclu- sive testimony upon the value of Dr. Tibbies' Vi- Cocoa, and to show their confidence in the new preparation the proprietors make the unparalleled offer of a free test of merit, a dainty sample tin being sent gratis and post free to any address on mentioning the i-Flintshire Observer". This offer is made -because it sells Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Ooooa, the new preparation referred to; in faot, the sales are increasing to such an extent that additional manufacturing facilities have had to be made.

When asking for Cocoa, insist on having CABBUBY'S—sold Packets and Tins—as other Cocoas are often substituted for the sake of extra profit ♦ A DISAGREEABLE HISTORY.—The little old-fashioned Tillage on the crescent shore that marks the water line on the southern end of Mackinac Island (Lake Huron) has been the scene of more robbery, debauchery, and ruin worked upon the trusting, ignorant, and helpless reds of this upper lakeland than was ever known in any equal bit of territory on the globe. A very old and squatty, but amply whitewashed building may yet be seen there, in which one can buy rum or play billiards, and which was the headquarters of the Fur Company. Ever since it was built, poison has been dealt out in it; to the Indians, rum for furs; to the Americans, rum for cash. Visitors even now are bled quite freely. Rich furs were then bought by the pound, and it is said that white men had a way of giving an Indian a deep drink of rum and then persuading him that" white man's hand jist pound." Then white man laid his hand on one scale, and drunk Indian piled beaver skins on the other until white man's arm could hold down no more, and that was pound," worth 2-60 dols. Money was of no use to the reds, and what they got in its stead cost them fabulous prices. The Indians went away poorer and poorer every time they came. Besides the traffic in furs, the island was the place where for many years the Indians gathered annually to receive their money from the United States for ceded lands. Here many thousands of dollars were paid over to the unprotected reds, who were 10 dols. poorer for every 1 dol. paid them. The crescent beach has been seen covered with Indian canoes, and the old village crowded with men and women drunk from day to day until their money had all passed into the hands m white "traders," God save the mark! and then they vp%ui(f gradually get starved into the necessity of goinglback to the woods to hunt for a living.-American Wagaoi-.

OAERWYS. CALL TO A PASTOB.-We are informed that the joint Baptist Churches at Sion, Caerwys, and Pen-y-gelli, Lloo, have unanimously decided to give a oall to Mr Edwin Jones, student at Bangor Baptist College. DBATsor rBE Foarm.AWBR-It Is with regret that we record the death of the respeoted postmaster of Caerwys, Mr Robert Minshull. The deceased had been in failing health for some time, and died on Monday at midnight in his 80th year Mr Minshull had been postmaster at Oaerwys for upwards of 30 years and had disoharged his duties to the satisfac- tion of the public generally SCHOOL RBPOBT.—The Managers have received the report of Her Majesty's Inspector on the school after an inspection under Act 8t (B), which is as follows:-u The order and the instruction in this school are very satisfactory. The energetic head- master deserves uustintgd praise for his efforts in seouring such a splendid colleotion of illustrations aDd objects. The managers are to be complimented on the improvements they have made on the premises during the last year. The infants are in good order and are diligently instructed. The staff should be strengthened, as tbe assistant mistress cannot successfully manage three classes single- handed. The gallery has been much improved. My Lords have sanctioned the omission of the I annual inspection in your school, due in May, 1899." This is the fourth year in succession that the school examination has been omitted. The attendanoe has doubled during that period and the grants have inoreased in the same proportion; the highest amount having been secured for every subject taught, viz. elementary geography, grammer, objects, musio, needlework, &o. Air Evans and his staff are to be oomplimented on such exoellent results, and the managers deserve the enooniums paid them for the improvements made in the buildings, which have conduced much to the comfort of teaohers and scholars. The museum, which is in connection with the school and which has been entirely established by Mr Evans at considerable trouble and expense, is one of the best in the country and contains no less than 200 specimens of crude and manufactured articles, minerals, metals, chemicals, &o.; and one of Her Majesty's Inspectors, who paid a surprise visit last December, entered in the school log book "The addition of a muteum is noted with much satis- faction, and the decoration of its walls reflects great oredit on the headmaster."
