PANTASAPH. i DEATH OF MR WILLIAM HEA.LEY. On Wnit-Saturday eveniatr, the death took place at The Villa, Paatasaph, of Mr William Healey. For some time the deceased had been ia fe»ilio«r health, but the end appeared to come somewbat rapidly. Mr Heatey tor the palit seventeen years has been closely connected with Pautaeaph, and f,.)r the Ust few years has resided permanently at The Villa, having retired from active participation in the firai of William Healey aodSjn, butidera and contractor?, of Salford. The deceased gentleman was brought up ti the | baildmg trade by his fattier, tud taken into partner- ship, they carried out many extensive and imp utaat contracts in the Mancaest^r diatrict. The erso iaa of Manchester Town Hall was one of the chief contracts oarried out by the firm, and the latest was the Manchester Hippodrome. MOit ot the thoatres have been altered structurally by the firm, and in- numerable large warehouses. Locally, Massrs tIealay and Son carried out an extension ot St. Clara's Convent, P mtasaph, in 1895, aod ai all tines the deceased gentleman gave his proiesciontl adviee and assistance. Mr Heaiey was a faithful membee of the Order of St. Francis, and was a generous supporter of the Cathoiio Church, aad various charitable and other organisations oonuected with it. Tfcree years ago the deceased had conferred upon him by his Holiness the Pope, the medal Pro Ecclesei Ponti- fioi" in recognition of his works in honour of the Church and the Pope; He was also granted the highest dignity open to a layman in the Franciscan Order, and just twelve months ago, when in Rome, was received in audience bv the Pope. Two hours before death took placa the Papal Bl eeing waa received at the Villa, and conveyed to Mr Healey, who, though exceeding weak, was fully oonscioua at the time. Mr Healey thougn iuterested in current affairs, yet never entered actively in municipal or political work. Mr William Heaby, who was in his 56th year, leaves a widow, two eons (Me srs Joseph Laurance and William Heaky), and OUiA daughter (Mrs Brown). Mueh sympathy is felt with the family in their bereavement, and his death ia felt to be a loss to the neighbourhood generally. On Tuesday evening, the remains, enclosed in a shell and oak casket, were conveyed to St David's Monaatety Church, where they were deposited ia the care of the Franciscan Community, of which Order ha was so devoted a member, and whose distinctive brown habit formed the cerements for his interment. The coffia was placed on a catafalque facing the high altar and surrounded by lighted candies. The iutermeut took place on Wednesday morning in the Ohurohyard, and was preceded by a solemn requiem mass, the Very Rev Father Provincial of the Franciscan Capuchin Order (Father Alphonsus) Jbeing the oelebiant, assisted by the friars of the Community, The Father Provincial, at the close of the requiem mass, made appreciative reference to the deceased, his life and character, and his devotion to the Church and Order of St Fraaois. At the close of the service at the graveside, the Rev Father Joseph, accompanied by the Franciscan Community, read the prayers particular to the demise of a tertiary of the Order. a ..L _L _&&.1. ^.mong me muacnura pceaout an ma oerviaa were Mta Win.

FLINTSHIRE HIGH SHERIFF. THE JUDGE'S SUGGESTION. In dismissirg the Grand Jury and thanking them on behalf of the Crown for their ssmues at the Flintsoire Aksizee, hell as Mold on Saturday, Mr J ustije Buokniil took the opportunity of referring to the accommodation that OUKbt to be provided lot the High Sheriff. He remarked that the High She, iff ot Fiintabire was the most unfortunate he had known, as he had to stand abjut the Aegize buildings awaiting the judge's arrival. Comfortable quartets were provided for judges who visited Muld, and surely the county of Flintshire oouid provide a rttiriug room for the High Soenff. He threw oat the sugges ion so that the grand jurors might iakd the matter into consideration before the next Assizes.

TALAORB. T A L A C R E SCHOOL. THE RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY REVIVED. The sub-committee of the Flintshire Education Authority appointed to ooafer with Lady Mostyn with regard to the Raman Catholic School at Talaere reported to the Education Committee at Mold that they had informed her of the terms upon which they would be prepared to consider the sale or lease of the building to the EdQcatioa Authority. She was invited to submit her proposals, aad as she had nothing definite to put forward the committee arrived at no definite result. ATTACK ON B8 COMMITTEE. It was propped that the report of the sub. committee ba received, whereupon ldit H. A. Tilby, Rhyl, made a vigorous attack upon the action of the authority. Mr Tilby said the committee were treating the Talaore people unfairly. They bad made it a personal question, and had not decided it on principle. As a result of a little dispute with the managers and perhaps some hasty action on the part of the munagers, they decided that the Talaore Roman Cathoiio Sohool should no longer be recognised. But after wards the Kanagtirs made application that the school atiorld again be reoognieed, and all the negotiations which had taken place since nad been with that object. The whole question, in his mind, was whether that was desirable or not. Owing to toe withdrawal of this sohool, a council sohool had had to be built. Though this school was eaiily accessible to the children of the district, the fact remained that a number of parents of ohildrea in that looality still continued to send their children to the old motioal.-(Lvoioe: "Why.") He was not prepared to say, but he hoped the reasons were not to be given. Dr. Hamphry Williams I hope they are. Mr Tiioy; 1 do hope that the reasons are not to be given here which were given some time ago, and which have been proved to be false in every particular. It was hinted that the children went to the Talaore school tor the reason that territorial influence was brought to bear, some influence of an unjust and wioked landlord, whereas at the inquiry it was proved that tha landlord was not the proseoutor but the persecuted. The parents of eighty children still eent their children to this school; and tor their education that authority refased to accept their statutory responsibility. It was a monstrous injustice. It was their business as a oommutee, to approve of teachers who satisfied the requirement* of the Board of Education, irrespective of whether they were Catholics or Churohmen, but the Committee, in effect, said that the only people who where to get the benefit of public eduoatiou where those who belonged to the Noneontormist persuaeion. It was because he felt that this was being done, and continuing to be done, that he moved that the Board of Education be recommended to recognise this sohool as a public elementary school. Mr J. H. Ellis seconded the motion. NOT A BBLIOIOUS QUBSXION. Mr M. A. Ralli said tbis waa in no sente a religious question. The Flintshire Education Oom- mittaa had never discriminated in the least against Roman Cathoiio schools as such, and in the Talaore school there were only a very small number of Catbolio children. For the y-fars.that the sohool was caaiutainea by toat authority the five Roman Cathode children were taught the principles ot their religion by toe pciest duriog the dinner hour. That gave satisfaction to all concerned. It the question were a religious one, the terms offered by the Com- mittee would have covered every reasonable demand. The Committee offered to provide at least one Catholic teauher, and to allow the Bishop to nominate a governor. The sole question was as to who was to have the victory-the County Council or the managers, who had taken tue school away from them, and now wish to compel them to take it baok and maintaiu it, 10 spite uf the faot that a new school had been opened In its plaoe. Mr O'Donovan, ot Flint, earnestly appealed to the Nonconformists of the Committee to reoognise the school. tiir Pye<s HuetYD had built and maintained it not for toe eatte of him own denomination, but for the sake of the g< netal public. If tue Uommiitea agaio took over the sohool ne principle would be sacrificed. The teaoberg were nuns it was ttue, but Catholics considered that nuns Were not only good teacher* aud inculcated a sound religioua education, but here desirable teaohera in otnei respects, and' taat schools where nuns taught were much more successful than others. Dr Humphry Williams (Flint), complained of the inac uraoj of Mr Tilby'. statements. He hoped toat the papers which published hi, speech would also puolisii the report of the IUbpectof who iuvestigat d be charges at Talaore. tie would not go iut" toe nutter; 11 was a waste of time. He hoped they Were isli sensible men. Mr liloy I hae wY doots (laughter). Dr. Williams s I know you siuvo-yu have your douotn as to whether we are ordinary, sensible men. The question was painful to some of them, out toe pablio should know exactly how the waiter stood* He dia not c aueugo waat Mr O'Donovan had said atJout the imans, but if the school were recognised everybody else would be debarred from being teachers. All honour was due to oir Pytre Mostyn for the money be haa spent on the building, but the Committee were prepared to give him a-Y toasonabid prioe fur it, or they would leane itt or rent it, and I they would seoure permanence to ttio teauning of the Roman Catholic religion to thoas who wuhed for it. THB DUCISION. By 27 votes to 11 the Committee rejected Mr Tilby's amendment, and the sub-oommittne'a report was approved. If still kept open, thoieiore, the Talaore sohool mast be maintained oy private tuuds.
