RHYDYMWYN. | DEDICATION OF WINDOWS. Sb John's Church has been greatly improved ot late years by the introduction of three beautiful stained glass windows. The east window is in memory of the late P 0 Davies-Cooke, Etq., GwyBanney; the north window in memory oi Mrs Phillips-Roberts, Coed Du, and the north ohancel window to the Rov James Jones, the first vicar of the parish. On Sunday the Lord Bishop of St Asaph visited the Church for the dedicating service. He preached a verjB practical sermon from Cor. 1-2: Unto the! Church of God, which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their'?! and our'e." The Church was well filled, and the absence of Miss Lloyd, Antelope, due to a trap accident, was much regrebted. The last-jf named window was inserted partly by sub-fi scriptions from parishioners and friends and partly by the rev gentleman's son, Mi;! W Jones. Miss Lloyd had taken up then work of collecting with her usual vigour in all Church work. g

LLANARMON-YN-YALE.

Tribute to the Late King by the Lord Lieutenant of Denbighshire. At Ruthin Magistrates Courb on Tuesday Col Cornwallis West, Lord Lieutenant of Den- bighshire, paid a striking tribute to the memory of King Edward VII. The other magistrates present were Capt Cole (in the chair), Col Saxon Gregson Ellis, Col Bromhead, Oapb Jenkins, the Hon E Hewitt, Dr Medwyn Hughes, G H Denton, Esq., and Stanley J Weyman, Esq. Apologies for absence were received from J W Lumley Esq., E 0 V Lloyd, Esq.. and the magistrates clerk (Mr R Vincent Johnson). Col West said the Chairman bad accorded him the privelege on that melancholy occasion of proposing a vote of condolence with the members of the Royal Family on the death of King Edward VII. He did not suppose that any Sovereign, living in any country, had passed away with so much sorrow as accom- panied the death of King Edward. In all parts his death had oaused an interest that possibly had no equal in the history of the world. In this oountry, where he was known so thoroughly, it was only natural that they should lament his death, but when they came to realise that in all the great cities of the World, all over America, in the Colonies, and in India, the universal tribute shown to his memory was a most striking instance of what could be achieved in the lifetime of a man, His popularity might be accounted for to a large extent by his marvellously genial dis- position, and it had been justly and appropri- ately said that next to his popularity was his wonderful humanity. He bad interests in every direction, whether it was in sport, politics, arts, literature, or science, all were the same. He always took a keen interest in whatever interested his people, and it was in consequence of that marvellous power he had in throwing himself into the interests of his people that he became one of the most popular Sovereigns of his day. He was one of the most eminent statesmen and diplomatists of the age. His genial disposition and remarkable popular- ity were able to open the door, as it were, to the hearts of the diplomatists of the world, and in all things he acted in that cosmopolitan spirit which endeared him to everybody. He dispelled, to a great extent, the jealousy and suspicion which must of necessity exist between great states, and he (the speaker) believed that the great and glorious name which he had left would be handed down to posterity in the annals of the history of this country. Ee also believed that his son, King George V, would worthily follow in his father's footsteps, and also in the footsteps of his glorious grand- mother. King George had started his reign under very peculiar and embarrasing condi- tions, and he only hoped time would ba given him to consider his position. He believed that he would continue to act as a great constitu- tional Sovereign, as his father and grandmother had before him. His knowledge of men was great, and that knowledge he would bring to the services of the country, and to bear upon the high position in which he was now placed. Happily he had a wife who was a pattern of domestic virtue, and an English-born Queen. He could only hope that their Majesty's would have a long and prosperous reign ever a united people. The Lord Lieutenant then moved the follow- ing resolutions h To HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY QUEEN ALEXANDRA." «« We. the Justices acting in and for the Petty Sessional Division of Ruthin, assembled in Petty Sessions, do most humbly and loyally tender to Your Majesty our profound sympathy and heartfelt condolence on the death of His Gracious Majesty King Edward VII, and we fervently pray that Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, may strengthen and support Your Majesty in this bereavement." To His MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY KING GEORGE V." We, the Justices acting in and for the Petty Sessional Division of Ruthin, assembled in Petty Sessions, humbly desire to record our profound sorrow for the loss which the Nation and Empire has sustained by the lamented death of His Majesty King Edward VII, and to tender to Your Majesty and the Royal Family our respectful sympathy in your great bereavemedt. We humbly offar our congratulations upon Your Majesty's accession to the Throne, and the assurance of our profound loyalty and de- voticn, and earnestly hope that Your Majesty's reign may be long and prosperous." The resolutions were carried unanimously, the Magistrates and others standing. 4op

NANTGLYN. IKTEBESTING WEDDING.—On the 30th ult. a wedding which exoited considerable interest was solemnit.ed at Nantglyn Church. The parties wers Miss Jones, Plas Nantglyn, and Mr John Williams, Aber Isaf, Bylchau. The Rev Mr Davies, vicar, officiated. Miss L Jones, Llanddulas, sister of the bride, and Miss M E Davies, Ty'nllan, were the brides- maids, the bridegroom being accompanied by Mr William Roberts, Ty Ceryg, and Mr George Foulkes, Glasmor. The party left the Church for Plas Nantglyn, where the wedding break- fast was served. Mrs T A Wynne Edwards gave the wedding cake. Mr and Mrs Williams drove afterwards to Denbigh and left by the 11.40 train for Flint. As we have said, much interest was taken in the affair.

QUARITCTI AND THE PRINCESS. In his Many Memories of Life in India, at Home, and Abroad" (Blackwood), Mr. J. H. Rivet/t Carnac tells a good story of the Duchoas of Connaught and the old bookseller: One morning her Royal Highness went into old Bernard Quariteh'c; shop in Piccadilly, and took up a book- on the antiquities and natural history of Southern India, a l>ig illustrated work in several volumes. She aeked the assistant in charge. tbeprice. and he, not finding it marked, 6topped old Quaritch. who wac passing through the shop, and inquired what price he was to say. Quaint old QuaTitch, looking at the Duchesr in his queer way, said. Do you want the .book?" Her Royal Highness replied, in her pretty English. "I do want this book." Sav6 he. "I don't understand what a girl like you can want with such a book. But you are a German girl, are you not?" The Duchess I (i she was German. "Well," said old Q., I like to see a German girl take an interest in such, f^ulbjects. The prioe is three guineas, but you shall have it for two." Thank you, I will take it." said her Royal Highness. But." said Qua- ritch. it is too heavy for you to carry, and I will send it to you. if you do not live too far in the suburbs." Lady B., who was in wailing, and had been in another part of .the shop. then came up. and wrote down the Duchess's address at Buckingham Palace. Quaritch was wmowhat taken aback, and begged her Royal Highness to excuse him. "Oh, certainly," said the Duchess; "but I will have it for two guineas."

HOMELY THOUGHTS. TheTe are many shrewd if not profoundly original thoughts in "Leaves." by the late Miss Violet Clarko, daughter of Sir George Syden- ham CLarke (Heinemann), and the following are fair examples: Earnest-looking women are a mistake. The way women are brought up Ir; idiotic. The laws of Nature are carefully kept from them and sentimental ideas are suibstituied till in the end t-hey think that what is natural ia wrong and what is inevitable is unfair. The so-called working classes have their heroes, their impoftors, their Tecklese spend- thrifts. and their vicious element just like any ovher strata of society., It is so funny how afraid people are of being unsettled by knowledge. Very few things contain so many dregs of egotism ae good woTkr!. Few people have a sense oi shame if a friend comes to grief however sorry they may two but when a relative happens .to trip they feel per- eonaliy involved.

■fl B On Page 8 will be found a summary of the proceedings—of the most solemn awe- inlpiring character-in connection with the Late King Lying in State, and the preparations for the fanoral, which takes •Hplace to-morrow tfriday), the great pro- cession leaving Westminster at 10 o'clock, flxnd expected to arrive at St George's hapel, Windsor, for the Burial Service to commence at 1.30 o'clock. H In Denbigh and the Vale of Clwyd gener- ally the day of mourning will be closely observed. business will be entirely sns- pended, shops, offices, the political olubs, and other places being closed. The train iervice will be suspended a8 if Sunday, and "e understand also that all the public houses will be closed for several hours before and after the solemn memorial fliervioes, the official servioe being fixed for Bl o'clock. No doubt residents will draw Bdown all their blinds, if not for the whole day at least for several hours, until after the services are ooncluded, of which local services particulars are given Bin the previous column. B It may be necessary to mention to Ohurchpeople that it would be advisable for them to provide their prayer books as usual, aa although the forms of service are provided the three psalms which will be sung are not printed on the forms. We notice that the arrangement made to take an offertory at St Mary's Church Memorial Service on behalf of the families killed in the Whitehaven disaster (men- tioned in the previous column) is also to be adopted at other memorial services, such as Liverpool Cathedral and other churches. A special feature locally has been the drapers' windows, in which mourning has been almost exclusively displayed, and in some of the windows, such as Messrs Densons and Messrs Jones Bros, the Bee Hive, excellent photos of the late King have been placed and draped in a very becoming manner, this attracting much attention. WREATH FROM THE HIGH SHERIFF OF DENBIGHSHIRE. We are informed that the High Sheriff (Mr Godfrey Fitzhugh) has forwarded to- day to Windsor, in the name of the inhabi- I tants of this County, a beautiful floral tribute of respect and sympathy, inscribed In loving Memory of our late revered Sovereign, King Edward, The Peace- maker. CROWDS AT THE LYING IN STATE. From six o'clock yesterday morning until ten at night an unbroken stream of people passed the bier of King Edward in Westminster Hall, and in the first few hours it was calculated that the number was at the rate of 7,600 per hour. It was estimated that the queue of waiting visitors, eight abreast at one time, was eight miles long. As day dawned there was already a large queue of people stretching along the pave- ment, standing patiently under a forest of umbrellas. Gradually the numbers in- creased, every tramcar, omnibus, and train bringing large additional groups of people to join the ranks of those who had come to do homage to their late King. The earlier arrivals consisted largely of workpeople. Silently and reverently they stood until the doors opened at six o'olock. By that time it was estimated some ten thousand persons had congregated. The rain was falling in torrents, and rendered the condi- tions of waiting extremely uncomfortable. At seven o'clock last evening the stream was receiving additions as steadily as at any time during the day. Workmen, who had completed a hard day's toil, shop hands, people in all stations of life, took their places quietly and with the utmost decorum, content to face the long journey before them for the sake of that one short glance at all that remains of their beloved Sovereign awaiting them in Westminster Hall. As the evening advanoed towards nine o'clock the queue became shorter and shorter, not that there was any sudden cessation of the stream of mourners, for the flow into the hall was as steady as ever, but the source of the stream was dry- ing up as people recognised that owing to the near approach of the hour of closing for the night it was quite impossible for the late arrivals to obtain admission. Indeed, so hopeless did the prospect seem that many who had been in the ranks for some time went away. At 8.30 the mar- shalled crowd still extended for a mile and half, and was computed to number close apon 30,000. At this time an estimate was formed of the rate of progress made by the procession past the bier, and it was eckoned at approximately 8,000 persons an hour. It was increasingly evident that when ten o'clock arrived the doors must be closed against several thousands of per- sons who would be denied the reward of their patient vigil. The overwhelming majority of those already in the ranks, however, held to their places, notwith- standing the certain prospect of being turned away at ten o'clock. The pressure it certain parts of the queue was very ,,reat, so great indeed that twenty minutes before the closing hour the ranks were broken near Tate Gallery, half a mile from St Stephen's porch, but a moment later police whistles were olown, signifying that it had been re- solved to close the doors. There was still good quarter of an hour before Big Ben struck the hour, and the order to dis- perse was received, at any rate by those m the threshold, with blank dismay. Pale, half-fainting women lamented their illfortune, and little wonder, For five solid hours they had been advancing inch oy inch, buoyed up with hopes that they might be able to pay a last tribute to their dead Monarch. To have these hopes shattered was a poignant disappointment, "cd many of the women shed tears. rhore was, however, no attempt to resist -he authority of the police, and excellent order was maintained. For a few minutes the crowd surged round St by the rush of people behind. They were quietly dispersed by the police, their ittitude throughout being strictly in ac- cord with the mournful occasion. It was astimated that upwards of 25,000 persons cord with the mournful occasion. It was were turned away. FUNERAL PREPARATIONS. The official programme of the cere- imonial for the funeral to-morrow was issued last night from the Earl Marshal's Office, and provides for a start at 9.45 [a.m., when the Royal coffin will be re- moved from Westminster Hall, the servict at Windsor being timed to commence n1 1.30 (this being half-an-hour later that at first fixed), and ending at 2.15 p.m. The German Emperor arrived last night in the Hohenzollern, which anchored ofl Sheerness, and his Majesty will disembark and come on to London this morning. Among yesterday's Royal arrivals were King Manoel and the King of the Belgians, who were met by King George. The 6th Battalion Welsh Regiment will take part in the funeral procession. TO-MORROW'S CEREMONY AT WINDSOR. In wet weather early yesterday morning the sailors who are to draw th gun carriage from the railway station at Windsor to St George's Chapel on Friday rehearsed their mournful ceremony. The party, which consisted of 120 specially selected men from H.M.S. Excellent, arrived at Windsor overnight, and the men were quartered at Victoria Barracks. Shortly after five they marched to the Great Western terminus with the gun carriage. Here a weighted coffin was placed on the carriage, which was then drawn at slow march over the route. The streets were practically de- seserted. The sailors returned to Ports- mouth at half-past nine, and will return to Windsor to-morrow morning. The journey from Paddington to Wind- sor was also rehearsed this morning, the Royal train being run with all the officials in attondance, and with the aid of Gaards- men. The final scene in the Chapel was then rehearsed under the direction of Lord Esher and other officials. The bearer party from the Grenadier Guards rehears- ed their duty of bearing the remains into the Chapel, and repeated their rehearsal in the afternoon before the Earl Marshal (Duke of Norfolk), Duke of Argyll, Mr Lewis Harcourt (First Commissioner of Works), Sir Schomberg McDonnel, and other officials. Over 500 wreaths arrived yesterday by rail and road, being placed in the Dean's Cloister and other places in the chapel precincts, and were afterwards viewed by several thousands of persons. It seems as though the total of 4,000 wreaths sent to Queen Victoria's funeral will be surpassed. Last night the Dean's Cloister and Horse- shoe Cloister at Windsor Castle were closed to the public until subsequent to the obseauies. ¿ MEMORIAL SERVICES. Throughout North Wales memorial services are arranged, not only in the churches, but a representative Noncon- formist service in one of the local chapels.
