PEACE REJOICINGS AT RUTHIN.
PEACE REJOICINGS AT RUTHIN. A DAY OF JUBILATION. F Owing to the inadequate means of Communication, the inhabitants of Ruthin and neighbourhood were not in receipt of the glorious news of the declaration of peace until Monday morning. We should have sent the news on to Kuthin if there had been any telephonic connection to Ruthin, and we were just about starting a member of our staff on his cycle with the news, but the rain came down in such torrents that it was quite impossible for him to start. Early on Monday morning the hooters of Messrs R Ellis and Son, at their well known mineral water factory, and that of the Cambrian Mineral Water Works, were Jheard for some considerable time, commen- cing about six o'clock, and the slumberers were startled by loud explosions, caused by the firing of fog signal rockets by Mr T J Ivouw, from St Peter's-square. When the cause of this became known the appearance of the town soon denoted active life, and the town immediately became transformed into a scene of rejoicing, flags and other emblems of jollity and enthusiasm being freely displayed from almost every house. The arrival of a messenger at 0.30 a.m., with special Free Press supplements, con- firmed the glad news that peace had been restored in South Africa. The bells of St Peter's Church also pealed forth, being energetically rung by Foreman G A Wil- liams, and Messrs Robert Humphreys. R Denton, F Beech, Charles Williams, R H Williams, and J Lloyd Roberts. The "peal" was also rung at various periods throughout the day. Practically the whole of the business places were closed, and the day was observed as a general holiday. The well kept and extensive beautiful grounds and gardens of the Castle were thrown open to the public, throughout the day, by the generous invitation of Mrs Cornwallis West. As reported in another column, the Town Council had its monthly meeting fixed for that afternoon, but the members unanimously decided to adjourn tie sitting in honour of the declaration of peace. As evening approached, a large number of people congregated on the Square, and the local company of volunteers, together with their comrades in khaki, Under Lieutenant Rouw, paraded the street, headed by the band, led by the regimental goat. Upon returning to the Square they formed up two deep, when The Mayor (Dr J Medwyn Hughes) addressed them thus :-Lieutenant Rouw, Offioers and Men of the" G" Company of the 1st V.B.R.W.F. I am exceedingly sorry that the Lord Lieutenant (Colonel Cornwall West), your honorary Colonel, is unable to be present to-night, because he would have been far more able to perform the duties that I have to perform to-night. You have turned out oa several occasions during the late war to celebrate events, 3but I am sure that you have not been more delighted than you are with the glorious news which reached us this morning, and more pleased to turn out than you are to-night to celebrate the declaration of peace (applause). The welcome news spread like wildfire all over the country and gladdened the hearts of all His Majesty's subjects (hear, hear). This great war has taught us a great many lessons. No war was ever fought with more humanity on the one side and bravery on the other, and it is to be hoped that now peace has been brought about that we shall have no political recriminations and that such expressions as pro-Boers, on the one side, and methods of barbarism—I think it is called-on che other side, will no longer be made use of, but that statesmen will do all they can to convert the brave foes into faithful friends (applause). This war has proved beyond doubt that,the volunteering system of this country is a stern reality and not a-show (hear, hear). It is difficult to conjecture what might have been the consequences if our Volunteers had not bravely responded to the call of duty and fought manfully side by side with the Regulars (hurrah), and I am sure it is very gratifying to all of us here to welcome home those Volunteers who are amongst us this evening, who volunteered for active service, and who distinguished themselves during the war (loud applause). Another great feature of the war was the rallying of the Colonies to the support of the mother country (hear, hear). We have been taught some severe lessons with regard to war and the methods of conducting it, and the Boers have been taught that British power must henceforth be paramount in South Africa (loud applause). I will not detain you any longer, but will just say in conclusion that it will be highly gratifying for His Majesty the King to know that at his Coronation he will be at peace with the whole world (loud and prolonged applause). Cheers for the Mayor someone called from the crowd, and the response was heartily given.. The Volunteers then, at their officer's command, fired six volleys in honour of the occasion, after which the band played U God save the King," the company then parading to the Drill Hall where they piled arms. Returning again they proceeded to the Castle Hotel where the toasts of H The King and of their comrades from South Africa, were enthusiastically drank, upon the call of Lieutenant Rouw. Afterwards there was a brilliant display of fireworks (procured by public sub- scription), the movement having been instigated by Mr T J Rouw, who sent a special messenger to Liverpool to obtain the explosives. Thus did Rnthinites loyally and patriotic- ally celebrate the declaration of peace.

--------HENLLAN.
HENLLAN. BIBLE SOCIETY.-The annual meeting of the Henllan branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held at Henllan on Monday evening, the fcev H Humphreys, rector, pre- siding. The Rev W Hughes, Holyhead, attended as deputation and gave an interesting address on the work of the Society, 'lhe Rev H O Hughes, Aelybryn Mr Roberts, Foxhall; and Mr W Jones, Bwlch Shop, also took part in the meeting. DEATHS.—We regret to announce the sudden death, after an operation, of Miss Elizabeth Ann Davies, eldest 'daughter of Mr Thomas Davies, head gamekeeper at Garn, who was a faithful and valued servant in the household of Col Lloyd Vfilliams, Bodgwilym, Denbigh. The funeral, which was very largely attended, took place at Henllan on Saturday last. Much sympathy was shewn with the parents of de- ceased in their sorrow, and wreaths were sent by numerous friends and sympathisers. The Rev H Humphreys, who officiated at the funeral, made an allusion to the sad event in his sermon on Sunday evening. Mr and Mrs Davies desire to thank the kind friends who attended the funeral of their daughter, Annie, and kindly sent wreaths, for their sympathy. —The late Mr Alfred Jones, of Plas Clough Farm, well-known in connection with pheasant rearing, was also interred in Henllan church- yard on Tuesday, the 3rd inst. The Rev Evan Jones, minister of Capel Mawr, Denbigh. officiated at the house, and the Rector of Henllan in the church and at the grave. The deceased was much respected. CELEBRATING THE PEACE PROCLAMATION.— The news of the proclamation of peace reached Henllan a little before 9 o'elock on Sunday evening, by telephone from Denbigh, and an announcement to that effect was put up in the Postoffice, and the villagers were apprised of it by the vigorous ringing of the Church bells. The good news was confirmed early on Monday morning almost befor the village was astir by the special Free Press supplements which were distributed freely, and preparations were at once made to celebrate the event in a fitting manner. The residents decorated their houses with flags and bunting, giving the quiet street quite a holiday appearance. In the evening all the younger inhabitants of the viilage and neighbourhood joined in a grand torch-light procession, the school children carrying flags. A detachment of Imperial Yeomanry and Volunteers took part in the procession, and Private Llew. Pierce, of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, who has just returned from service ¡ in the war now happily concluded, also took part, and naturally came in for a good deal of attention on such an occasion. English and Welsh patriotic anthems were sung, and cannons were fired during the evening. Messrs J Edwards, W iJones, H, Parry, and R Davies provided a capital show of fireworks, which were let off about 10 o'clock, The proceedings concluded with cheers for our gallant soldiers I and for the re-ostablishmenfr of peace, followed by the National Anthem.
__-----TBEMEIBCHION.
TBEMEIBCHION. CLCE FESTIVAL.—The annual festival in connection with the Court Brynclwyd brand) of the Ancient Order of Foresters took place on the 29th ult. The services of the Denbigh Brass Band had been requisitioned to enliven the proceedings, and, favoured with fine weather, the festival passed off most success- fully. The members assembled in the morning for the customary procession to the houses of honqrary members, after which a service was held in the parish church, the Vicar preaching an admirable sermon. Dinner followed in the old school, and Mr and Mrs Ellis, Salusbury I Arms, are to be congratulated on the substan- tial repast provided. After dinner the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were swbmitted by the Vicar, who presided, and were enthusias- ticallv responded to. These were followed by i Success to the Foresters' Club," "Honorary Members," and "The Host and Hostess." Tbe company subsequently dispersed to the adjoin- ing field, where the band played suitable music for dancing. Needless to say a most enjoyable day was spent by-everyone.

RUTHIN TOWN COUNCIL.
RUTHIN TOWN COUNCIL. ADJOURNED TN HONOUR OF « PEACE." MONDAY.—Present, the Mayor (Dr J Medwyn Hughes), Aldermen Ezra Roberts, Edward Roberts and Thomas Williams; Councillors T H Roberts, T J Roberts, G F Byford, C D Phillips, Thomas Griffiths, John Roberts, T J Rouw, William Jones, Francis DoMvell, and Joseph Davies with the town clerk, Mr William Lloyd the deputy town clerk, Mr Baldwin Griffith the medical officer, Dr W F Byford; and the borough surveyor, Mr Price Morris. Before proceeding with the ordinary business of the Council, the Mayor did not know but that, in consequence of the grand news that they had received from the seat of war that morning of peace being de- clared (hear, hear), they as a Council were not in a mood to do any work (hear, hear). If he consulted his own feelings he would not go into any matters on so glorious a day (hear, hear). He was rather afraid, upon perusal of the agenda of that meeting, that they were not absolutely certain of a very harmonious meeting (laughter and hear, hear), and for that reason he sincerely hoped they would agree with him on the wisdom of adjourning until Wednesday (applause). They had plenty to think of that day. They had had a great deal of pleasant and unpleasant news from the seat of war, but the glorious news of the declaration of peace had filled their hearts with joy (applause), and he hoped they would spend the remainder of the day in celebration of the happy event that had been consummated in South Africa (applause). He did not wish to press the matter in any way, but those were his sentiments (loud applause). Councillor C D Phillips came purposely to that meeting to support what the Mayor had said. He thought everyone ought to be proud of the news they had received that morning in honour of their King and country (applause). As regards the busi- ness of the town, shops and all other places of business had been closed for the day, and he thought the Council eould do no better than follow suit and defer the busi- ness until Wednesday (hear, hear). Councillor John Roberts supported heartily the suggestion, which was unani- mously agreed to.
I---. RUTHIN RURAL DISTRICT…
RUTHIN RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. MONDAY.—Present: Messrs H Williams (in the ehair), R Davies Jones, B Powell Jones, T Jones (Plas Coch), T H Roberts, John Williams, John Roberts (Nantglyn), Robert White, T 0 Jones, Wm Davies, W G Richards, Wm Ellis, R H Pugh, Thos Jones (Llanferres), D Evans, and J Evans, with the clerk (Mr R Humphreys Roberts), the medical officer (Dr T 0 Jones), and the Surveyors. MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT. The report of the Medical Officer stated that during the four weeks ended May 31st seven deaths were registered, three males and four females, giving an annual death rate per 1000 of 9.5. Three of the deaths 'occurred in persons over 70 years of age, and on one a coroner's inquest was held. Ten births were registered, five males and five females, equal to an annual birth rate of 14.2. Sineo the last meeting of the Council two cases of infectious diseases were notified. In the first case of scarlet fever neither he or the inspector could trace the infection to any definite cause. The second case was one of erysipelas. In compliance with instructions received he begged to report upon the condition of Penrhos, Derwen, and Abertairnant, Llan- armon. With regard to Penrhos, Derwen, he, in company with the Inspector Jones, visited the place on 28th September, 1901. The walls and the roof were in a very dilapidated condition, especially over one bedroom, and as there were only two V bedrooms in the bouse, all the oecupants (four in number) were obliged to sleep in the better of the two, which was very small, low, and devoid of ceiling, allowing only ,,f 524 cubic feet of space for all, instead of 900 at least. The house during wet weather must necessarily be very damp and quite unfit for human habitation. The premises were also in a very unsatisfactory state, owing to the want of a privy. He was advised by the inspector that nothing had since been done to improve the condition of the house and premises so that it cer- tainly now was, if anything, worse than when he (the medical officer) visited it. He visited Abertairnant, Llanarmon, on May 28th, where the chief cause of complaint was defioient sleeping accommodation. The house consists of only one bedroom which was small and not provided with a ceiling, consequently all the family (two adults and five children) were obliged to sleep in the one room. Owing to the prevalence of measles at Maesafon, Llanferres, he had advised the closing of the National School for a period of two weeks from May 28th. THE PROCEDURE OF SCHOOL BOARDS. A letter was read from the Clerk to the Clocaenog School Board stating that the schools bad been closed for a fortnight, from May 12th to the 23rd, owing to a case of scarlet fever having broken out near the school. The Clerk said the Board of Education would not approve of this procedure. They had no power to close the schools before the medical officer bad been notified of the case and gave his order. The Medical Officer: I was notified of the case about four or five days after the school had been closed. Mr T H Roberts Would you have closed the schools if you knew about it, doctor ? The Medical Officer: Certainly not, because only one case has been notified. If there had been a number of cases I should certainly have closed the sohgols. Mr T H Roberts: Prevention is better than cure, Mr Chairman. I After further discussion the subject then dropped. ROADMEN. The question of insuring the roadmen was deferred for the clerk to ask other firms for quotations. THE SMALL POX SCARE. A letter was leceived from the Town Clerk of Denbigh, en behalf of the Denbigh Town Council, as to the appointing of representatives to form a joint committee to take into consideration the provision of an Isolation Hospital. He suggested that the joint committee should consist of two delegates from each of the Denbigh and Ruthin Town Councils and Ruthin Rural District Council, and that they should meet and consider the provisions of a hospital in the Vale. Those appointed from the Den- bigh Council were Dr D Lloyd chairman of the sanitary committee), and Dr Griffith Roberts (the medical officer). The Clerk remarked that he had seen the Town Clerk of Denbigh and had mentioned to him that he thought it was very unfair that this Council should only have two delegates on the committee, because the area and rateable value of the District Council was treble that of the Denbigh and Rntbin Town Councils. Mr T H Roberts said there was no doubt that a hospital was needed, but they must not rush headlong into the matter. The Clerk suggested the appointment of four or five members, and that he should write informing the Town Council that they as a District Council were entitled to that number. This was agreed to, and those proposed to serve on tie committee were-the Chairman, Messrs Thomas Jones, John Williams, T H Roberts, and W G Richards. CORONATION FESTIVITIES AND HOLIDAYS. The Local Government Board wrote giving the District Council authority to expend a reasonable sum of money upon the Coronation festivities. After some discussion the Council decided to allow the roadmen in their employ one day holiday only. THE PUBLIC HEALTH ACT. ACTION OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL CRITICIZED. The Chairman said that with regard to the discussion which had taken place at the meeting of the Denbighshire County Council on the Public Health Act question, he was still of the same opinion that he nad expressed at the last meeting of the District Council. Remarks had been made that the Act was a dead letter and that the law was not put into force by the District Councils. He gave a resume of the report of the proceedings at the County Council meeting. A committee was ap- pointed to discuss the question, and to appoint a medical officer for the county—a person who would reeeive 'from £ 600 to iC700 a year, and who could not do the work any better than the District Council officers did. Rev W G Richards remarked that one or two doctors bad taken part in the discussion, and were in favour of the appointment of a medical office r. Mr E Powell Je*es: Do you think that we should listen to Dr Lloyd, of Denbigh, and to Dr KVHBS, of Wrexham, when we know as mucii, if not more than them? The Chauutan: Is the water good at Llanynys ? Mr E Powell Jones: Very good now (laughter). Mr T H Roberts was of the same opinion as the Chairman, and he thought the Clerk should write to those members of the County Council who took part in the dis- cussion, and inform them that the Public Health Act was not a dead letter. The Clerk stated tHat the reason why the committee was appointed by the County Council was with the object of con- sidering the annual reports of the District Councils which had previously been thrown into waste paper baskets. The committee would be elected to do away with this diffi- culty, and they would go through and examine the reports, and their decision would be reported to the County Council. In his opinion it would be time enough to pass a resolution when the report was received. The matter then dropped. DISAPPROVAL OF THE EDUCATION BILL. The Chairman moved 44 That this Council disapprove of the present- Education Bill, because it abolishes School Beards and puts in their places authorities which are not directly elected by or responsible to the ratepayers, and it deprives the rate- payers of the right to control the schools and violates the principles that the taxation and representation should go together." As ratepayers, the Chairman was of opinion that they should not contribute anything whore they were not directly represented. Mr John Roberts, with much pleasure, seconded the resolution. Mr Robert White thought they should not condemn the bill, but do their duty to the ratepayers in the best way they could, and not deal with politics. Mr P H Pugh proposed as an amendment, and Mr T H Roberts seconded, that the matter be left on the table, but the Chair- man's resolution was carried by a large majority.
- RUTHIN BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
RUTHIN BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The meeting of the Guardians was after- wards held, when the Rev J F Reece presided, and in addition to the District Councillors there were present: Messrs J H Simon, A Lloyd Jones, and Price Morris. THE DECLARATION OF PEACE. The Chairman said that, although it was not a matter of business with the Board, it was a matter of very great pleasure to them all that peace had at last been established in South Africa (hear, hear). It was indeed a blessing. They all might have different views and opinions on the war, but he was sure each and all welcomed peace (hear, hear), a peace which he hoped would last for many years for the prosperity of South Africa, as of this country (hear, hear). He also wished to congratulate Mr John Evans, who had had a narrow escape of his life by a trap accident, upon his recovery and lucky escape. They were pleased te see him amongst them and hoped he would soon be fully recovered (hear, hear). Mr Evans, who had his left arm in a sling, having sustained injuries to his wrist, thanked the Board for their expres- sions of congratulation. The Master reported that Mrs Cornwallis West, accompanied by Miss Denton, Llan- rhaiadr Hall, had visited, the House on Saturday afternoon, when Mrs West dis- tributed tea, biscuits, tobacco, and sweets to the inmates. EDUCATION BILL DISCUSSION RULED OUT OF ORDER. Mr J H Simon proposed a similar resolu- tion disapproving of the Education Bill as, had been passed by the District Council. The Chairman I presume that you wish to give notice of the ,motion to be placed on the agenda. Mr Simon: No, sir, I propose that the matter be discussed to-day. The Chairman You mast givo notice of notion in the first ius4aa4e. Mr Thomas Jones (Plas Coch): I will second the motion. The Chairman: You will have to place it on the agenda for the next meeting. You should not spring a resolution of this kind upon the Board without giving notice that I you are going to do so. Mr T H Roberts: I also think that it be put on the agenda, Mr Chairman. Mr Powell Jones: I am against it. Mr Henry Williams: It is a question of the day, and I think we should discuss it to-day. The Chairman: We cannot pass a resolu- tion without notice having been given. Mr Simon You very often bring matters forward without notice. The Chairman It is contrary to the practice of the Board, and I rule it out of order. Mr Simon then gave notice for the matter to be dealt with at the next meeting. CORONATION TREAT TO PAUPERS. The Clerk asked the Board to consider what they would do with regards to treats to the inmates and outdoor paupers in con- nection with the Coronation. Mr Thomas Jones proposed that all the inmates be granted an extra allowance, but that nothing be done with regard to out- door paupers. Mr Davies (Derwen} proposed that all outdoor paupers who were unable to attend the Coronation festivities should be catered for. Mr John Evans seconded. The resolution of Mr Thomas Jones was carried by a large majority. The Local Government Board having sanctioned the expenditure of a certain sum of money upon Coronation festivities, the Board decided to expend the sum of Y,5,
RUTHIN SCHOOL BOARD.
RUTHIN SCHOOL BOARD. THE HEAD MASTER QUESTION. On Monday evening there was a special meeting of the members of the above Board in the Board Room, Town Hall, Ruthin, when Mr T J Rouw presided, supported by the Rev J F Reece, Rev Isaac James, Messrs R Harris Jones, T H Roberts, A Lloyd Jones and Francis Dowell, with the clerk (Mr Ezra Roberts). The only business was to deal with the six applications for the post of headmaster to the Board Schools, which had been weeded out of the 01 applications that had been received for the vacancy. The names now before the Board were Messrs W R Jones, Bangor; R Griffith, Festiniog; W R Owen, Portmadoc 0 R Owen, London; J T Williams, Birmingham; and D Pryse Jones, Newborough, Anglesea. The Chairman asked that some definite mode of procedure should be decided upon, and the Rev J F Reece suggested that the Board should select three of the candidates to present themselves for an interview before a final decision was made. Mr A Lloyd Jones, proposed that Mr Reece's suggestion be acted upon. Rev J F Reece Do you expect them to come down at their own expense? The Chairman: Certainly not. The Board will pay their expenses. Rev J F Reece: The expenses will be about 95, I should think. The Chairman Yes, I should say so. Rev J F Reece: I will second the pro- posal. Mr Dowell: I propose as an amendment that we decide finally to-night. We ought to be able to judge from the testimonials. Rev I James: I beg to second that. The proposal was eventually carried, Messrs Lloyd Jones, J F Reece, T H Roberts and the Chairman voting for it. The voting resulted in Messrs WR Owen, 0 II Owen .and W R Jones being selected for an interview with the Board.
RETURN OF RUTHIN KHAKI HEROES.
RETURN OF RUTHIN KHAKI HEROES. Ruthinites are not behind-hand in manifesting their loyal and patriotic attitude towards King and Country, and Saturday witnessed the return of five Khaki heroes in the persons of Privates T J Bushell, Thomas Wynne Williams, John Edward Jones, Thomas Davies (who was at one time a captive of the Boers), and Robert Thomas Owen, who have been on active service in South Africa, drafted thither from the ranks of the local corps of Volunteers. Their return on Saturday was the scene of much enthusiasm and the Volunteers turned out in honour of the occasion, under Sergt-Inst Taylor, who was occompanied by ex-Squad-Sergt-Major C D Phillips, of the Denbighshire Hussars. Capt Jenkins and Lieut Rouw were unable to be present in their official capacity. Preceded by the band, the company marched to the Railway Station to meet the 7 p.m. express, the band playing appropriate music as the train drew up to the platform, and cheers were raised when the local heroes made their appearance. The meet- ing of relations and friends over, the company again formed fours and headed once more by the band, with the" Africans" amongst the ranks, they proceeded to the various homes of the returned ones, after which, the Volunteers were dismissed.
