Mr Richard Jack s singing was loudly en- cored, and he gave several recall items, as did the quartette parties. Miss Bronwen Charlton and Miss Gladys Horsford sang with excellent effect, and were several times encored. The violin solos by Miss Studholme Brownrigg were -given with much artistic skill, and much praise was forthcoming from the delighted audience. The duologue "CTOSS Questions and Crooked An- swers was very mirth provoking, and was acted in a most realistic manner. The Vicar (Rev. T. Jones) proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs Brodrick for organising the entertainment, and to the artistes who had given their valuable services. He said the audience .would no doubt feel much regret at hearing of the unfortunate accident that had overtaken the yrty whilst on their way to perform at Kinmel on the previous Tuesday. He was pleased to say that the chauffeur Daly, who was injured, was progressing most satisfactorily. Although Mrs Brodrick had taken no part in the programme she had done a great deal towards the evening s en- tertainment. It was well-known that Mrs Brod- rick was always helping others (loud applause). The entertainment concluded by singing the National Anthem.

NORTH WALES CALVINISTIC METHODIST I ASSOCIATION. I QUARTERLY MEETING. The quarterly meeting of the above Associa- tion opened at Dolgolley on Tuesday, the "Moderator, the Rov. John Hughes (Liverpool) in the chair- It waa decided to accept the invitation of the Angtlosey Monthly Meeting1 to hold the next meeting in April at Menai Bridge. Tho Moderator, togct.hor with the Revs. Griflitiii Ellis and Evan Jones (president of the National Fr3e Church Council) were elected de- legatee to represent the Association at a con- ference oonvenod in London by the Liberation Society. THE CHURCHES AND MINISTERS' PENSIONS. The secretary (Rev. John Owen) produced a number of replies from various Monthly Meet- ings dealing with the propo&ed schemo of old age pensions for ministers. General approval of the principles of the scheme was received from North Carnarvonshire, Vale of Conway, Vab of Clwyd, East Merioneth, Upper Montgomery, Manchester, Liverpool, Anglesey, and West Montgomery. In the majority of these oa.s alterations were suggested aa to some of the details, tho communication received from East Montgomery, for instance, recommending thrat no minister should receive more than C30 a year. The South Carnarvonshire Monthly Meet- ing reported having delayed consideration of the matter for twelve months. In view of the fact that the majority of the Monthly Meetings had declared in favour of the principle of the acheine, the Rev. Aethwy JonoPs (Liverpool) suggested that the Association, as suoh, should expr-ega its opinion of the scheme. The Rev. Griffith Ellis aooordingly moved that the Association approve of the main lines of the scheme, and that it be then referred back to the committee for its report. He real- ised that the step which they were about to take would carry great influence upon- the fu- ture of the Connexion. The motion was seconded by the Rev. Daniel Rowlands, a.nd supported by* Messre James Venmore (Liverpool) and R. B. Elli3, who, after visiting the Monthly Meetings, bore testimony to the willingness displayed to receive the scheme favourably. Tho first contribution received by Mr Ven- more was one of five guineas, given wholly un- so)icited by a Merionethshire clergyman. The Rev. Frances Jones (Abergele) announced that a friend who, for the present, preferred to be anonymous, had promised 9200 towards the scheme (cheers). The Rev. Isaac Jones (Nantglyn) observed that the approbation extended to the scheme at that meeting was not general throughout the coun- try. Funds of this kind, in his opinion, did not come within tho purview of religion. In any case he should prefer the continuance of the existing fund, towards which he alleged the Association bad acted dishonestly (laughter). THE HOWEL HARRIS MANUSCRIPTS. In response to a request made by the South Wales Association the Revs. Evan Jones, Grif- fith EJIIS, John Williams, and Hugh Williams, D.D., were appointed upon a joint committee to consider the. desirability of publishing the manu- scripts of Howel Harris, a question which has attained to-some prominence consequent upon the debate at the last meeting of the Associa- tion. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The nomination of Mr 0. Robyns Owen (Pwll- heli) for the treasures hip in succession to Mr iv" Y?ke.r^3 (St. Asaph) was unanimously conformed, it being, however, understood that L Wl!' continue to act until June next. Ihere were no fewer than sixteen nomina- j3 u e^deratorship for the ensuring1 year, and the final voting resulted in the election of the Rev. Edward Griffith (Meifod). THE FORWARD MOVEMENT. Attention was called by the Moderator to offart made this year to pay off £ 20,000 of the debt rating "on the iwanl movement. It was pointed out that the debt threatened to crush the forward movement un- less speedy relief was forthcoming. Mr David Davies, M P., and Mr Cory had promised more than £ 4000, conditionally upon the remainder of the sum motioned being subsaribed. On the motion of Mr Peter Roberts, it wa. decided to urge upon the Monthly Meeting the advisability of completing the collection as soon a8 possible.

SATURDAY NIGHT SCENES AT OLD COLWYN. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO "RUSH" THE POLICE STATION. Exciting scenes were witnessed at Old Cohvyn on Saturday evening. P.C. R. H. Owen had occa- sion to lock up a man, and whilst he was doing so a crowd gathered, some of the spectators assuming a threatening attitude. An attempt was made to prevent a civilian from going to the constable's assistance, but this proved un- L successful. Later in the evening, it is reported, efforts were made to "rush" the police station, but this was also in vain. The sequel was heard at the Cohvyn Bay Police Court on Monday, before Dr. W. M. Venables Williams (in the chair) and Mr Joseph Dickon. Thomas John Jones was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and further with assaulting P.C. Owen, whilst in the execution of his duty. Jones pleaded not guilty. The Clerk (to defendant): Have you any appli- cation?—Yes, sir. I oould not get witnesses, because I was locked up. There were a number there. Sergeant Rees: The statement he has made is hardly fair. His brother came to see him about eight o'clock last night, and stayed for a long while, and defendant told him to get witnesses. The fact that he was locked up does not say that he could not get witnesses. Defendant's brother said he did not get the witnesses, because he did not go to them. He had asked one, who did not like to come, but it was "too much walking" for him to go to Llys- faen for the others. The Chairman: You thought it too much trouble to go and get your brother witnesses?— I was thinking of getting him out until Saturday week. After some deliberation the Chairman said they had decided to go on with the case. CONSTABLE'S EVIDENCE. P.C. Owen said that at 7.20 on Saturday even- ing he saw defendant enter the Ship Hotel. He was drunk, and witness followed him. He drew the attention of the licencee's son to the man's condition, with the result that he was requested to go out. When they both got outside, Jones asked witness what he meant by getting his tap stopped." Witness told him he was drunk, and added that he had better go home. De- fendant replied that he would not do that for witness nor anyone else. He used very bad language, and witness decided to lcck him up. A struggle followed, defendant putting his arms around witness They both fell against the steps of the Ship Hotel. Further up the road, the defendant again became violent, and entwined his legs around those of witness, thus throwing him down. Owen called for assistance, and the crowd tried to prevent. a man from coming to his aid. The conduct of the crowd was something disgraceful, and one of the witnesses was now afraid to go about. After defendant was locked up, attempts were made to break the lock of the police station door, and the crowd remained about until one o'clock in the morning. During the struggle Jones tore witness's tunic. Replying to the Chairman, Witness said he got the defendant up to the station, which was only a distance of 40 yards by 7.45. The justices again deliberated, and the Clerk asked defendant if he had anyone who would go bail for him. Defendant replied that Owen Roberts, carter, would be one. The Chairman: So that you can get your wit- nesses to give you every chance we have decided to remand you for a week, and you must get proper socurity. At this stage P.C. H. Jones, who had been sent out to search for Owen Roberts, returned, and said that he could not be found. However, he had seen Mrs Roberts, who said (referring to her husband): I will take care ho will not do such a thing" (laughter). Sergeant Rees said defendant was not a house- holder. The Chairman (to the sergeant): Do you object to himself and his brother? (To prisoner) "Is your mother in Colwyn? WTill she stand?" — Prisoner: Yes, sir. The Chairman: We bind you over in your own reoognisance.s in the sum of £10 to appear at the next court. The Clerk intimated that the hearing would be held in the County Buildings.

There is an old Ldy of nearly a hundred liv- ing at Middletown, who, with four daughters over spventy,years of age, intend to claim pen- sions in January.

LLANFAIRFECHAN URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. PENYCLIP IMPROVEMENT SCHEME. The monthlo, meeting of the above Council was held an Tuesday evening, the Chairman (Mr W. G. Roberts) presiding, and thtz other members present were Messrs Harry Jorss, R. C. Evans, W. G. Roberts (Hall Bank), Joihn Harrison, T. G. Morgan, L. D Jones, Robert Hughes, Peter Williams, J. R. Evans, T. J. Chvon, Evan Jones, Owen Griffiths, with the Olerk (Mr W. H. Ellis). RECREATION GROUND. Messrs Beck, GreBn and solicitors to the St. Andrew's Hospital, wrote stating that Mr Bayley had called their attention to an appli- oation by the Football Club to the Council for the use of part of the recreation ground. Al- though he had not brought the matter before the Governors, he was quite sure from what was said when the l-aaso was agreed to, that they would strongly object to football matchcs being' played on that land. He therefore hoped that their wishes wl()II.1ld be observed. J3500 TO £400 SAVED. A letter was read from the Local Governnwnt Board with reference to the condition of the outfall sewer belonging to the Council, and stating that in new of the undertaking con- tained in the letter from the Council, the Board would not require the sewer to be relaid or repaired (hear, hear). The Chairman: That is very satisfactory, as the expense would be from £300 to ft400. THE PENYCLIP PROTECTION SCHEME A letter was read from the Local Government. Board stating that they had under consideration a report made H, their inspector, Mr Cros- thwaite, upon an application, by tho Penmaen- mawr District Council for sanction to a loan for the pr&cti,on of the main road at Peny clip. The Inspector reported that part of the cliff in the urban district of Llanfairieclian was in a very unsafe condition, and that unless some- thing was done very soon to stop too wasting away of the cliff at this point, the main road was likely to be destroyed. The Beard, there- fore, urged the District Council to give the matter immediate attention with the view of carrying out the necessary protective works without further delay. Mr Jorss pointed out that it was no use spending" about JB500 on protective works, which, in view of the lease required by the railway company, might have to be pulled down in aix months. It was agreed to send a copy of tho letter to the County Council, and to reply to the De- partment showing what the Council had dona. PENMAENMAWR VIADUCT. With regard to the extension of the railway wall at the Penmacnmawr Viaduct, Mr J. T. Roberts, clerk to the Carnarvonshire County Council, stated that it was more a matter for t.he Llanfairfechan Counoil than for the County Council to consider whether or not the railway company bad any right or title to the strip of land, the subject of the proposed agreement. Had the Council enquired whether a similar agreement was entered into with the Penmaen- mawr District Council with respect to the por- tion of the wall comstruoted by them ? NOTIFICATION OF BIRTHS ACT. With refereince to the adoption of the Noti- fication of Births Act, 1907, within tho Llanfair- feohan urban district, the Local Government Board stated that it appeared to them that th.2re would be a difficulty in devising in so small a district as Llanfairfechan the adminis- trative arrangements necessary for carrying out the intentions of the Act by sending a nurse or health visitor to give advice and instructions to mothers, and that, therefore, the operation of the Act in the district would not at present be likely to result in such advantage in the way of reduction of infant mortality as would justify the permanent imposition upon parents and others of the obligations presented by the Act. In all the circumstances the Board were not prepared to assent to the present adoption of the Act in the district. The Chairmam: We have adopted the Act, and we were perhaps foolish in doing' so. The matter was referred to the Sanitary Com- mittee. ORNAMENTAL TELEGRAPH POLES REFUSED. A communication was road from the General Post Office to the effect that careful considera- tion had been given to the Council's request that the telegraph poles between Castle Bridge and Cae'r Ffyncxn-road might be replaced by others of an ornamental character, but he found that there were no houses near the poles, and from the inquiry he bad made, he did not think that the amenities of the road had been ser- iously depreciated. It was, perhaps, unfor- tun ate that the telegraph polee had to be ereot- ed in picturesque country roads, but the Coun- cil would recoignisc that without doing so it would be impossible to meet the growing de- mands of the publio for improved telegraph and telephone facilities. Moreover, if ornamental poles, which were much more oostly than those of an ornamental character, were erected gtene- ralfy in roadii such as that now in question, con- siderable additional expense would be thrown on the taxpayers of the country, and it would be impossible to maintain the service at the present cheap rotes. DILATORY RATEPAYERS. The Collector reported that he had collected 293 2s lOd, and there was L850 of the district rate uncollected. Mr T. G. Morgan: This rate was made in June, and it is not fair that we should have to pay interest at the bank. The Collector: It is the practice of some people not to pay their rates immediately. Mr T. G. Morgan: Then it's a practice which should be abolished. There are ratepayers in a position to pay, but will not. The Collector: That M quite true. Mr T. G. Morgan: Then they ought to be made to.

EXECUTION LEVYING AT OLD COLWYN. A BAILIFF'S PREDICAMENT. .ALLEGED WRONGFUL REMOVAL OF FURNITURE. E. Dean appeared in an action brought before his Honour Judge Moss at the Llandudno County Court, to-day week, by Richard Henry Jones. a county court bailiff. Mr James Porter (Messrs Porter, Amphlett and Jones), who appeared for the plaintiff, said the action was brought under Section 4 of the County Courts Act, whereby a person rendered himself liable to a fine of £5 for wrongful interfering with a county court bailiff while in the execution of his duty. On September 9th last, plaintiff had two executions to levy at Cheltenham House, Old Colwyn, against two defend- ants, Mr and Mrs Coole, who made such statements that induced the defendant to believe he was levying upon goods they could not afterwards sell. In course of time, the defendant Dean, turned up at the house, inquiring whether plaintiff was levying upon oertain goods. Jones replied in the affirmative. Dean then said he had come to show him a purchase on hire agreement, and he produced a document. He then re- moved a good part of the distress including a suite of furniture, cheffonier, etc. It might be said for the defendant that he acted on behalf of the owners under the hire purchase agreement, but naturally such an agreement should have been produced and its contents examined by a Registrar. A document was produced, but the bailiff had not been able to read it and, al- though the latter protested, the defendant removed the goods saying he would write to the Registrar of the Court giving him particulars. The bailiff expressed a hope that that would be done because the responsi- bility for the articles rested upon him. The letter had never bsen written to the Registrar. The defendant's only answer to the case was that the hire purchase agreement contained a clause which, in the event of an execution, gave the hirer of the goods on hire the immediate right of possession as against the defendants. But he (Mr Porter) thought that in cases of that fcind it would be an extremely dangerous practice to allow a man, who flourished anything in the shape of a document in the face of a bailiff, to act as defendant had dono, and justice might be defeated. He asked his Honour to deal with tho defendant in such a man- ner as to prevent a recurrence of the offence. Richard Henry Jones, the bailiff, bore out this state- ment, and added that he noticed the agreement pro- duced by Dean had been made out in the name of Thaw, the person who had hired the goods referred to by Dean, from Messrs Roberts. Witness, bearing in mind the fact that the name of the tenants of the house was Coole, warned defendant that he was taking the furniture away at his own risk because the landlord would le taking possession of the goods on the mor- row. Witness told him he had no business to inter- fere with the furniture, and defendant promised to write to the Registrar about the matter, although that promise had never been carried out. Defendant gave him the list produced of the goods he had taken. Dean (who was undefended): Did I tell you that if I was doing wrong I would return the goods? Witness: No. THE DEFENDANT'S EXPLANATION. In reply to the Judge, Dean said the goods ia quea- tion had been given out under the hire purchase system to a person named Thaw, and Mrs Coole had sent over requesting the firm to remove them, because the person who got them originally no longer wanted them. Witness showed the agreement to the bailiff, pointing out that all he wanted were the goods let out to Thaw, and removed the goods. The bailiff said "I don't know whether you are doing right or wrong." Witness replied, "If I am doing wrong I will return the goods. They will not bo takau off our promises at Old Colwyn." Plaintiff (interposing) I told you distinctly that you were removing the goods at your own risk. Cross-examined by Mr Porter, witness said one of his men had been to Coole's house a few days pre- viously, and he had been unable to get the goods. That was before the bailiff took possession so that the furniture might have been removed then without in- terfering with Jones in any way, but they had been unable to procure a cart for the job. He admitted that he was at fault in failing to write to the Registrar as promised, but he had not left work on the evening in question till 10 p.m., and as he left for his holi- days on the eight train next morning the matter had been overlooked. lIe was very sorry if he had done any wrong, but he had certainly acted under the im- pression that he was doing so legally. His Honour remarked that actions such as the de- fendant had been guilty of caused assaults and dis- turbances in ucnnection with execution levying. If he had any reason to believe that some of the furniture distrained upon was illegally in the possession of the bailiff, the proper course for him would have been to send in a formal claim for them to the Registrar of the court. Defendant would be fined 93 and costs the furniture to bo returned.

——— i ").' CORRESPONDENCE. GYF.FIN SCHOOL. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—For the information and edification of tho curious public concerned in the doings of the Carnarvonshire Education Committee, I ask your permission to make known the report of this body upon the state of this school, which was opened only four years ago. The Secretary and Director of Education is empowered to sub- mit the following statement relative to this school:— "(1) This school is very badly ventilated. The matter should be seen to without delay. The school is also overcrowded. The main room is 28ft. 4in. by 18ft., and the infants' room 19ft. 4in. by 17ft. lOin. There are 105 on the books. Un- less the managers are prepared at once to take steps to enlarge the school there is evidently no course left open to the Education Committee but to proceed at once to erect a new Council school. (2) There is only one cloakroom for boys, girls, and infants. Proper and suitable entrances to the cloakrooms and for the two sexes separately should be provided immediately. (3) Additional offices are also necessary. (4) The schoolmaster reported that the Vicar had recently removed three chairs and a table from the school, as he said they were his property. I am directed to say that tho committee will require to be assured on or before the 1st November next that the foregoing requirements will be complied with and carried out not later than the 31st January next. —Yours faithfully, Evan R. Davies." Before the fatal day I addressed to the secre- tary the following letter:— Dear Sir,—Referring to your registered letter bearing date 5th mst.. containing a report after a visit paid to the Gyffin N.P. School by members of the Carnarvonshire Education Committee in a motor car (presumably at the expense of the ratepayers poor fools!), I beg to point out that the dimensions of both the infants division and the upper standards were fixed by the capable architect who designed and superintended the erection of the fabric, and were approved by the Board of Educa- tion as adequate accommodation for the number of children thon proposed to be admitted, and the system of ventilation was also admitted by the* Board four years ago to be satisfactory and per- fect, and to the best of my knowledge the effici- ency of the system has not been impaired nor are the children in any danger of suffering from immobility of the respiratory muscles which might result in suffocation. I am convinced that the architect, Mr H. L. North, B.A., A.R.I.B.A., now in practice at Llanfairfechan, whom I can recommend to your committee to design the Council school, did only four years past bestow such intelligent care to produce efficient work that I am unable to suggest im- provements upon perfection unless the motor tramps whose olfactory nerves appear to be over- sensitive can modestly suggest a more excellent way as well as defray the expense of reconstruc- tion. "I would very respectfully ask the Local Educa- tion Authority to save the expense incurred on motor trip inspection, and to apply the money to provide educational facilities for their congested areas, and to pay the salaries decided upon by the Board of Education to teachers deprived of their just rights. I shall be most happy, in considera- tion of a liberal commission such as your 'Staff Committee' is empowered to offer, to negotiate with the Ecclesiastical Authorities the purchase of a corner of this glebe whereon to build the Council school provided you make the like gener- ous terms paid for the site of the new Council school built in close proximity to the parish cess- pool at Penmachno. "I trust your committee will not allow the op- portunity to slip as the promised Disestablishment Bill in the next session of Parliament may de- nrive them of a genuine bargain.—Yours faith- fully, "ROBERT JONES. "Gyffin Rectory, Conway."

WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS AT CONWAY- (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,-May I remind Alderman Netherwood bhat he spoke a £ lood deal about workmen's dwellings some tam-a ago. Let us hope that he will pay more attention to the matter this year, seeing that his own party is in a majority.—I fljn. etc., W. MARSHALL. 6, Wind etroet, Conway.

RUTHIN POLICE COURT. The above Court was held on Monday, before Captain Cole (presiding) and other magistrates. The lioetaoe of the Fox and Hounds Inn, Pwll Gias, was traiisforrcd to Joeeph Evans, on the application of Mr A. O. Evans. Abel Williams, Twll-ymwg, Dorwen, was fined Is and 8s 6d oasts for being' drunk on Cerrigy- druidion-road on tihe 10th ult. A young lad named Robert Jones, Rhos- striiet,, was summoned far discharging fireworks in the publio streets. He wad let off with a. caution. John Henry Simon, labourer, working at Cefn Du, Denbigh, wrote ploading guilty to a ahargo of faLvJy represetoting hi nine If to be a bonolidie traveller- lie was fined 6s 6d and 13s 6d casta, and for being drunk on the same day he wia3 further fined 23 6d and 7s 6d octits. Jcihn Jones, blacksmith, Mwrog'-street, Ruthin, was diar,ged with assaulting Robert Roberts, assistant oountiy court bailiff, Scrgt. Edward Jones, and Police Constable Arkinstall on the 19th of October. Mr R. Humphreys Robeirta, Registrar of the Uoiunty Court, appoatred for the prosecution, and withdrew the summons resp?oting the assault on Arkinstall. The bailiff, he said, had a commit- ment order against defendant, whom he found in a publio-house. Defendant agreed to go to gaol, but in tha street became very obstreperous and abusive. The bailiff called the assistance of the pohoe, and defendant "a-4 ihandouffed and carried into gaol. He attempted to kick and bite th3 offioers, and narrowly missed the ser- gtoant'jj faoe. For the defence Mr Walter O. Jones said de- fendant had been through the South African War, where be lost an eye, and received a small pension. He had incurred heavy debts, but did not know wihat t.he particular debt for which the commitment order was executed was aoout. In hid excitement he resisted arrest- The Bendh decided to deal leniently with him and fined him 203 including ots.

OUR LIBRARY TABLE. 1 THE NOVEMBER "PEARSON'S.The number of "Pearson's Magazine" for Novem- ber which has just been isued is as good as ever. Its pages are bright with excellent pictures, and in stories and articles of topical interest its high standard is well maintained. "Champion Cats" is the title of a short article illustrated with a number of excellent photographs of the cham- pions of the many varieties into which cats are divided for show purposes. An article that will be welcome now that days are short and even- ings growing long is entitled "Experiments with the Senses." Copiously illustrated and carefully explained, it describes many amusing tricks and experiments by which an evening's entertainment may be easily had by puzzling one's self and one's friends with experiments and tricks, simple at first sight, but full of pitfalls for the unwary. Dr. Emil Reich contributes an interesting article on the Swiss Customs guards, whose business it is to prevent smuggling over the border between Switzerland and Italy. The war waged between the Customs officers and the smugglers is a bitter one, often not unattended by tragedy. Those who often travel by train-and who does not, nowadays?—will find a railway dictionary not only interesting, but serviceable as well. It explains the meaning of many of the discs, sig- nals, head-lights, tail-nights, gradient-boards, and other puzzling things which are often noUced and seldom understood. The fiction in this number is of all-round excellence. An amusing tale in the style of Uncle Remus is particularly attrac- tive. The "Air Battle Fleet" is n picture of a war of the future, in which England was to have been invaded by a hostile fleet of airships. Robert Barr is again to the fore with an adven- ture of his amazing young millionaire, and there is also another of Mr S. L. Bensusan's ever- popular animal biographies. CHRISTMAS NUMBER OF THE "PEO- PLE'S JOURNAL."—The variety and excel- lence of the contents of this wonderful penny- worth have really to be seen to be believed, and no doubt the pre- sent issue will eclipse even the great popularity of its many excellent predecessors. Humour is the keynote of this well got up an- nual. The stories are humorous, the jokes are both good and fresh, and every paper has a sparkle of wit. The first prize story is worthy of Jerome K. Jerome, and if vou want to laugh until your sides ache "A Tight Fit" may be commended. A humorous song entitled "Insurance," with words and music, is another feature of the number. This song was selected by Mr Harry Lauder out of a number submitted to the well-known comedian, and it is now published for the first time.

PAINFUL DISCOVERY NEAR ST. ASAPH. MAJOR SALUSBURY FOUND DEAD. The dead body of Major Salusbury was found on the roadside near St. Aaaph about at ven o'clock on Tues. day night. The Major left his residence. Baeh-y-graig, Denbigh, at 4.30, apparently in ,good health, on business respecting shooting, but be failed to keep his appoint- ment.
