UNSEEMLY CONDUCT. j
UNSEEMLY CONDUCT. j &ic.ompiaints have reached us of unseemly conduct on the part of youths who attend the evening service at the Cathedral, and although attention has oeeu drawn to it once or twice from the pulpit, it has not had Lhe desired effect. To those who sit near them—devotional worship is out of the question—a ceaseless chatter is kept on until the conclusion of the service. The offenders are well-known, and the authori- ties are determined to put a stop to it. The fine for brawling' is exceptionally heavy.
IS THE CHURCH.ILL?
IS THE CHURCH.ILL? When the distinguished Ministers of the Crown were guests of the Bishop at the Palace, in the course of last week, a question was asked a militant Churchman by a Nonconformist to this effect: Is the Church ill at St. Asaph that the Bishop has to send for specialists to London?" who promptly replied •' Certainly not! An- other case of terminological inexactitude.' There are a host of good stories going the Tound as to how the distinguished guests were introduced to leaders" on the other side, but we cannot voach for their aecur-oy.
OBITUARY.
OBITUARY. We regret to announce the death or Mrs Harriet Jones, who passed away the residence of Mrs Austin, High-street, where she had resided for 14 years on Monday last. She had attained the ripe age of 80 years, and had survived her husband 18 years. Until lately she wa3 a constant worshioper at the Cathedral. Her remains were laid to rest at Bodelwyddan churchyard on Wednesday. where her hasband is also bnried. The funeral was private, only a few relatives and friends attending. The officiating clergyman was the Rev H Lloyd.
EARLY WINTER.-
EARLY WINTER. The wintry weather experienced lately have set the young men preparing for their winter pastimes. Huckey matches have been arranged, and the Thursdays and Athletic Football Clubs are getting their outfits ready an 1 arranging fixtures. Com- plaints, however, reach us that the three clubs mentioned are lacking in sustained interest in the welfare of their respective clubs. They up faithfully for the first game or two, hat; before the season is half over it is most difficult to procure a full team to play. They are alright if on the wi!>niri^ jitAe-bac caauot stand a good lickuift.
THE GALE.
THE GALE. The gale experienced in the early hours of Wednesday morning was one of the wildest and most tempestuous for many jeaiapast. The force of the gale, and its tTeratfwri.9<is velocity, was felt most in the L ItKT'lyn'ig parts of the city, where it blew with the lot ce of hurricaue Sleep was out uf Lke question, many were terrified, fires ifi the grates were lit, and mnny residents found them until the storm abated. (J .iat havoc has been done to fruit trees Rppfas and pears being in- some places ^^nrally scattered. The result to orops Jtas teen disastrous. The creaking tele- pboua signs near the Cross was more annoying to others than the whistling of tfeo wiod. Unfortunately there is a large quantity of cat corn waiting to be harvested, although the tiir weather of Sunday and Mon Tay enabled a proportion to be gathered la.

Marriage of Miss BLANCHE EDWARDS…
Marriage of Miss BLANCHE EDWARDS AND Mr. W. B. BRANSTON AT St. Asaph Cathedral. In the presence of a distinguished com- pany, including representatives of the leading county families of Flintshire and Denbighshire, the historic fane of St Asaph Cathedral was, yesterday (Thurs- day) afternoon, the scene of an unusually interesting ceremony. The occasion was the marriage of Mr W Bernard Branston, only son of Mr W Branston, of 61, Onslow Gardens, Iondon, and Bknche, youngest daughter of the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph and Mrs Edwards. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Bishop, assisted by the Lord Hi Ùop I of Chester, uncle of the bridp, the Lord Bishop of Bangor, and the Very Rev tli- Dean of St. Asaph. The bride was given Z3 away by her brother, Mr Harold Edwards. The bridesmaids wqre Miss E l ward?, sister of the bride Miss Branston, Miss B Branston, sisters of the bridegroom;' Miss Grace Jayne and Miss Myfanwy- Edwards, cousins of the bride Miss Gladys Hore, Misa E Hayes, and Mias .N" Thomas. M+jor Fuller, Royal Engineers, was the best man. The bride looked very canning in an Empire gown of whi: >> satin chareme, the bodice trimmed with old Brussels lace a small tulle veil was worn over a smali diadem wreath of orange blossoms, myrtle, and jessamine. The bride carried a beauiiiul bouquet, the gift of the bridegroom. The bridesmaids looked exceedingly pretty and were dressed in white chiffon taffeta Romney frodes, with cream net crossovers, ficuusa vests, and white silk sashes picture hats of the same style, made of drawo black net, trimmed with black tulle and velvet ribbon. They carried beautiful bouquets of pink roses and wore gold chains, and crystal pendants, with the initials of the bride in gold, which were the gift of the bridegroom.
THE RECEPTION.
THE RECEPTION. The city was gaily decorated for the occasion with digs and bunting, and the Union Jack floated from the tower of the Cathedral. The sacred edifice was crowded, and the approaches to the Cathe- dral were lined with motar cars and carriages. Heavy rain fell whilst the invited guests assembled, but as the bride, accompanied by her brother, left the Palace the sun shone brightly, and the weather waa delightfully fine whilst the ceremony was in progress. The bride hard a most enthusiastic reception from the assembled public as she left the Cathedral on the arm of her husband. The marriage service was fully choral, and Mr Belcher, the Cathedral Organist,, presided at the organ. The Cathedral Choir was also present, and the special hymns sung were 0 Thou who gavest I power to love and Now thank we all our God." Upon the conclusion of the cere- mony, Mr Belcher rendered the Wedding March in admirable style. The bride, who was always a most popular youag lady with the citizens of St Asaph, was the happy recipient of a very handsome present from them, and she carries with her their sincerest good wishes for her future happiness and welfare. All sections of the community contributed to the fund, but there was no public presenta- tion, the gift being privately presented to bride by the hon secretaries, Mr H A Cleaver, Diocesan Registrar, and Mr Robert Jones, Probate Office. The fol- lowing were the local committee in connection with the presentation :—Mr H A Cleaver (chairman), Mr Robert Jones (treasurer), Mr D G Thomas (hon sec), Messrs Charles Grimsley, J W Edwards, Armitage, E Mainer, D H Edwards, J Emrys Jones, Thomas Roher's J Wynne Davies, Mathews, W H jLxipy, Fred Meakin, S D Thomas, J Lothian, J E Price, E Barlow, E Parry, T J Williams, Mr A Griffiths, Mr J Thomas. The pre- sentation consisted of a very beautifully shaped plain silver rose bowl with orna- mental scroll, side bandies to match, with wire netting and standing on a suitable ebony plinth. The design is of early English character, and the inscription on the bowl is as follows Presented by friends at St Asaph to Miss Mary Blanche Garland Edwards on the occasion of her marriage, 10th September, 1908. The order for this magnificent piece of silver was entrusted to Messrs Elkington & Co., Ltd, the King's goldsmiths and silver smiths, 27 and 29, Lord-street, Liverpool. More than passing interest was evinced in the wedding, because it is some time since a marriage was solemnised at the Cathedral, the last being that of Miss Luxmore in 1881, and prior to this it is probable that the last marriage ceremory that took place at the Cathedral was in the early part of the 17th century, and the fact, we believe, is chronicled in -1 Cwtta Cytarwydd," written by the public notary in 1607-1646. After the wedding ceremony the Bishop and Mrs Edwards held a recaption at the Palace, which was very numerously attended. The following guests were invited :— Mr, Mrs and the Misses Williams, Mr and Mrs Banner, Mrs Rees, Mrs and the Misses Jayne, Rev J Fisher (rector of Cefn), Mr and Mrs J D Jones, Mr and Mrs Davey, Colonel and Mrs and Miss M Parry.

The stack had been well built by the Rishop's employees, and the illumination lasted for nearly two hours, anri could be seen for miles round. The juvenile section of the crowd indulged in singing snatches of popular songs, and marching round the fire. The pleasurable excitement was kept up to a late hour.
-------__-SANITATION at ST.…
SANITATION at ST. ASAPH. County Council Discussion. Position of Medical Officers. The minutes of the General Purposes Committee of tho Flintshire County Coun- cil, at the meeting held at Mold on Wednesday, reported that there bad been received a copy of the report of Dr Fletcher, who made an inspection of the St Asaph Rural Council's area in consequ- ence of the dissensions between the medical I officer and the authorities. No recom- mendation was made. Dr Williams moved that they secure copies of the report for each member. He thought they should let the local officer of health know that they admired his honesty and integrity iu refusing to withdraw his annual report and write a new one at the dictation of his Council. The difficulties they met with as medical officers of health was a want of sanitary conscience in Wales, and they had no better instance than what had transpired at St Asaph. The fact that the Local Government Board inspector had backed the local doctor up had rebounded greatly to his ciedii. JHe wag proud to belong to a profession which contained men who, in spite of browbeating, refused to truckle. He hoped that the lesson the So Asaph authorities had had would have a beneficial effect thi-oughotit the country. Mr J P Jones said Dr Williams tried to whitewash his profession at the cost of Wales. They had no right to interfere in the matter. They most regard the author- ity as composed of practical men who knew their business, and they were responsible to the ratepayers. He had the greatest respect for the medical profession, but it contained the greatest faddists on earth. Many medical Gfficers had involved their districts in large amounts simply to satisfy their own whims. It bad been proved that the inspection of school children bad been brought about by the medical profession. St Asaph would compare with any other district in the county. Dr Williams.-With Holywell, perhaps (laughter). Mr Jones added that Dr Williams libelled the country, which stood as high in reference to sanitation as any other part of the United Kingdom. Mr W Conwy B^ll, a member of the St Asaph Council, said he did not see why, because they bad a faddy medical officer, the Rural Council should be interfered wi h by the County Council. It was cant that every member of the authority in question was opposed to the opinions of the doctor, and some of them might be credited with good faith. Their district w is one of the cltanest in the county, and he believed that more had been done in St Asaph district for sanitary improvement than anywhere else in the county, and they had as good bouses. If there was to be an If theire was 1, as good bouses. If there was to be an investigation at-all it should be throughout the county, and to pass a resolution would practically amount to a vote of censure on the St Asaph district. He would appeal to Dr Williams to look a little nearer home. Mr EJwin Morgan, also a member of the local authority, agreed with Mr Bell. There was not a member who was not pre- pared to do his best for the sanitation of the district. The fact that the Local Government Board inspector agreed with their doctor-went for nothing. It was a fore- gone conclusion that he would, and he (Mr Morgan) was surprised that the report was not much worse. As a matter of fact there was very little in the report. Their district was the cleanest in the county. Mr Tilby moved the previous question. To pass that resolution would be disast- rous to the good government of the districts, for the medical officers would say they need take no notice of the local authorities. He believed the whole trouble had arisen not over a question of fact, but of tact. It was all very well to talk of a sanitary conscience, but for ratepayers there was a financial conscience. Mr Pennant seconded the previous ques- tion. Dr Williams replied that there was no reflection in his resolution. They were the central sanitary authority. He rediculed the idea. that there was any danger of the medical otfloers ruling the districts. All they could do was to recommend, and the local authorities could dismiss their officer at any time without an appeal to the Local Goxevament Board. He aloo, declared that it was ridiculous to talk of I Yr(--ein-sonry in the medical profession.' No medical officer liked to see a Local Government Board Inspector coming into his district. He was content, however, to withdraw his motion. The subject then dropped.

PRION. Thii Bishop AT PilION.Tho Lord Bishop of St Asaph officiated at the Church on the last two Sundays in Welsh. On Sunday last, the Rev Mr Davies, St Asaph, read part of the service, and the Bishop preat-hed a very touching sermon on thank^iving.

'O ABERGELE. HEARTY congratulations to Mr Ernie Wiliiaii.s, Peel Gardens, on his splendid pertormaace of winning tile sprint race and the long jump at the Old Colwyn sports on S,tturct.cy. 10 the latter event he cleared 18-ft 8-iii-a marvellous performance, and not very tar from being a record juonp fo.1 Nortli Wales. I should thiuk. It is a re- inarkabla fact that there are at least twelve athletes in Abergele just now who are carrying everything belore them by way ut ( winning prizes. J it Becoming over-heated two haystacks be- longing to Mr D Williams, Ty Gwyn farfflt became ablaze on Tuesday morning. The Abergele Fire Brigade vfas telephoned tor, and in Jess than fifteen minutes from the time the first alarm was made the men bad arrived at the scene of conflagration, but owing to the prompt action bf the Iarfu hands and several other willing helpers the flames had been mastered without the aid of the brigade, who were under the command of Acting-Captain Hugh Davies. By the way, why did the brigade cut such a sorry figure at the demonstration held at Rhyl recently? There is only 00" answer, viz., the men had had only t-vo or three practices during the your. FirO brigades don't reach the sta;e (If efiiciency by travelling along that route, and a big fire in the town will demonstrate this fact to the meu and their nflicers one of tbes-0 next lire t^ays.

THE defenders OF tht; DEAD. -Is it noT. indeed. ungenerous to spoak ill of the dead, sinco they cannot defend themselves?' Why should they? If you speak ill 0: heJrl falsely, it concerns you. not them. Those hps of thine "hurt a man as thou art." assuredly they will hurt thyself; but that clay, or the de- livered soul of it. in no wihP. Ajacean shield, sev-en-fo'ded. never stayed lance-thruct as that turf vviil. with daisies pied. What vou sav of those' quiet ones is wholly and utterly the world's' affair. and yours. The lie will, indead. ectt it9 proper price, and work its appointed work; you. niay ruin living myriads by it—you may stop tne progress of centuries by it—you may have to pay. your own soul for it-—but as for ruffling' corner of rhc folded shroud by it, think it not. The dead have none to defend then Kay, have two defenders, strong enough for the need —God, and the worm.—joh:; BUSKBf.

THOUGHTS FROM SEXECA. Is 31 man evc-r the wiser for a multitude of friend. or mors- foolish for the loss of them? He that dies cheerfully dries up my tears, and he that die., whininuly doet- not de-erve-them. It is a shameful thing for a wise man to malte weariness of grieving the remedy of it. I will govern my life and my thoughts as if the whole world were to see tne one and to read the other. Virtue is that perfect srood which is the corn- pletement of a happy life; the onlv immortal thinsr that belong- to mortality. Thinkest tbou that anyone is íW desirous of life that he- IjAci rather be kiiied while taking hIS armour off than in th arena?

THF CPXELTY OF THOCGHTLESSXESS.
THF CPXELTY OF THOCGHTLESSXESS. Most of the cruelty of the world is thoughtless cruelty. Very fev people would int?ntiona)ly add to another's load or iialic his burden in Ilfl) heavier or his path rougher. Most of the grpat heart wounds are inflicted by 'thoughtless thrusts, flung out often in a moment of anger, when, perhaps, we were too proud to or to try to heal the grievous wounds had made. Can anything be more cruel than to di^ courage a soul who is struggling to do the best he can, to thijjw stumbling-blocks in the path of those who are trying to get on in the world against great odds? No life is just tho s.am° after you have once touched it; will you leave a ray of hope or one of despair, a fla-h of light or a sombre cloud across some dark life < ach dav: will you by thoughtless cruelty deepen shadow which hangs over tho life, or will toii by kindness dispel it altogether? No matter how you feel or what is disturbing your peace of mind, never allow yourself to send out a dis- couraging, a cruel, or an unkind word cr thought.

The poet Pope on one occasion, with ro-pecto to those children who imagine they know a great deal more than their parents, wrote A couplet, which I think I have not forgotten: We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow, And wiser 6ons will surely think us so. That was the sentiment, at any rate. I solemnly believe that there is nothing which will be of greater service to the boys and girls of England to-day than to impress upon them that, it h* their absolute and blessed duty to obej their parents,
