DAN SYLW. BLWYDD-DAL WYTIINOSOL! Dyfynir a ganlyn o'r "Dry eh:"—Mae lluaws o eiriau yn Gymraeg y dyddiau hyn yn profi nad crefftwyr a'u gwnacth. Yn mhlith y cyf- ryw y mae y gair "Blwydd-dal," am gyframad wytbnosol i ddyn neu ddynes. Mor ddigrif y gwnia son am "flwydd-dal wythnosol" i ddyn o 5s. < rANRHYDEDDU AMAETHWR CYMREIG. Y mae Mr William Owen, C.S., Penyrnynydd, Mon, wedi derbyn gwahoddiad i fod yn un o r beirniaid yn Arddangosfa Clwb Smithfield yn y Neuadd Amaethyddol Frenhmol, Llundam, y mis ncsaf. Efe, meddir, yw y beirniad cyntaf o Fon i fod yn yr arddangosfa hon. BEIRNIAID MEWN CWT. Clywais fod Pwyllgor Eisteddfod wedi pender- fynu rhoddi y beirniad cerddorol mewn cwt pren, rhag iddynt weled a deall pa gor fydd yn. canu. Eithaf peth a beirniad anonest; ond gwarthrudd a diffyg ymddiried melldigedig ydyw a rhai gonest. Feallai y clywir cyn bo hir fod yn rhaid i'r beirdd a'r llenorion anfon eu cyfan- Boddiadau yn "typewritten" rhag i'r beirniaid ad- nabod y llawysgrif, a'u hanfon oddicartref i'w, postio rbag iddynt ddeall o ba le y byddant yn dyfod. Mae dull yr oes yn rhyfedd iawn. J » TERFYN STREIC Y COTWM. Dvdd Gwener, terfynwyd helynt gweithwyr totwm sir Lancaster, drwy i'r meistriaid dderbyn cynyg y dynion i oedi gostwng y cyflogau bump y cant yn mis Ionawr hyd mis Mawrth. Y mae y melinoedd wedi bod yn gauedig am saith wyth- nos, ao amcangvfrifid fod gweithwyr wedi colli 980,000p mewp cyflogau, tra y mae cronfeydd eu hundebau llafur yn llai o tua 200,000 o bunau. Heblaw hyn yr oedd 500 o felinoedd wedi eu tatal, yn golygu fod haner can' miliwn o gyfalaf y meistriaid yn ddiffrwyth. Disgwylir y bydd yr holl felinoedd yn ail ddechreu gweithio yr :wythoos hon. < rATED LLYTHYRAU. Cwestiwn sy'n poeni llawer o ddynion eyhoedd- us ydyw pwnc ateb llythyrau. Da gan rai, fe- allai, fydd cael gair o gyngor gan wr cyfarwydd. Dyma ddywed 0. M. Edwards yn y "Cymru" am y mis hwn:—"Nid wyf yn edrych ar beidio ateb llythyr yn beth goddefol mewn boneddwr; y mae yr un mor anfoesgar a pheidio cymeryd' sylw o rywun fo'n gofyn cwestiwn. Ond y mae eithriadau. Pe gofynech gwestiwn yn gofyn ateb hirfaitb, i wr yn rhedeg i ddal ei dren, ni ddis- gwyliech ond ysgydwad llaw. Ac os anfonwch lythyr at un y gwyddoch ei fod yn brysur iawn, cymerwch yn ganiataol yr atebai chwi pe medrai. "Anatnl iawn y mae neb yn gwneud tro anfoesgar yn fwriadol ag arall." i X COR DIRWESTOL. Yn ol y "Times," New York, am yr 8fed Cyfisol, pan gyrhaeddodd Cor Meibion Mountain Ash, dan arweiniad T. Glyndwr Richards, y Ty Gwyn, y dydd o'r blaen, ni wyddai y gwein- yddion fod y cor yn ddirwestwyr, ond gwyddant yn awr. Yr oedd y cor newydd orphen y rhag- len o flaen yr Arlywydd, Mrs Roosevelt, a nifer 0 wahoddedigion urddasol, pan yr ymddangosodd gweinydd gyda gwydriad o win i'r cantor- ion, ond gwrthododd y cyntaf gyda diolch; yr sil yr an modd; y trydydd, y pedwerydd, "ac felly yn y blaen." Agorwyd llygad y gweinydd ac enciliodd yn yswi], fel un yn ymwybodol o fod tredi camgynieryd. Cymerodd yr amgylchiad hynod le yn yr East Room. O'r herwydd hyn gelw y "Times" y cor yn gymdeithas ddirwestol. Pa ddrwg fyddai galw y cor yn Gor Meibion Dirwestol Mountain Ash? MASNACn LECHI Y TALAETIIAU. Yr oedd y llechi a godwyd ac a werthwyd yn y Talaethau Unedig yn 1907 yn worth 6,019,220 o, ddoleri, swm mwy na'r flwyddyn flaenorol o agos 1 bedwar can' mil o ddoleri. Yr oedd cynyrch gwahanol Dalaethau yn 1906 a 1907 fel y canlyn 1906 1907.

Mae prisiau llechi toi yn amrywio o B.75 i 10 ddolar y scwar yn eu maint, eu hansawddi .'u lliw, llechi cochion New York yn dwyn y prisiau uchaf.

Nodion o Glip y Gop. (Gan Wil y Gweithiwr). DAMWAIN ANGEUOL. Yr wythnos ddiweddaf, pan yn dilyn ei orch- wy-I fel "plumber," yn Mhalas Mostyn, cyfarfu Mr Albert W. Collins a damwain, a drodd yn angeuol iddo, yn ei 53ain mlwydd oed. Ym- ddengye iddo gael codwm o bon y nenfwd—dis- gynfa i'r llawr o tua 18 troedfedd. Torodd ei goes mewn amryw fanau, a derbyniodd niweid- iau tost i'w ben. Galwyd Dr. Evans ato ar frvs, ond er ei holl fedrusrwydd, bu y truan farw yr un noson. Teimlir yn ddwys dros Mrs Collins a'i thri phlentyn yn eu profedigaeth Iem. Daeth Collins i'r ardal yma tua 15eg mlynedd vn ol, ac o hyny hyd ei ddiwedd bu yn gwasanaethu fel c "plumber" a "glazier" ar ystad Arglwydd Moe- tyn, ac t-drye-hid yn barchus arno gan bawb. Yn ei ofal of yr oedd gwaith dwfr plwyf Whitford, ac efe hefyd ydoedd tan-beirianydd Palas Moe- tyn. TRETHI GWAENYSGOR. Bu yma dipyn o ffrwgwd yn y lie hwn y dydd- | iau aeth heibio, yn codi o gynydd parhaus y trethi. Coisid profi mai cost y ffynon ac addvsg y plwyf ydyw yr achos o hyny. Aniddirfynid y rhan olai yn fedrus gan cin cyfaill talentog Mr R. Williams. Atolwg pwy gymer mewn llaw i amddiffyn y costau mawr osodwyd ar y treth- dalwyr yn nglyn ag achoe y ffynon? Ofni vr ydym y bydd yn galetach gwaith na'r llall. » "YR UN PETH AR DAI AC AR DROLIAU." Bu Esgob Hereford wrthi yn dweyd y drefn yn hallt am ansawdd t-ai y gweithwyr hyd ranau o'r wlad. Fel mantais i symbylu y perchenogion i'w gosod mewn gwell trefn, cynghorai ef fod deddf yn cael ei phasio i orfodi perchenogion tai 1 osod eu henwau uwchlaw y drysau, fel y gor- fodir amaethwyr eu gosod ar eu cerbvdau. Fe ddylai y dosbarth gnveithiol deimlo yn ddiolchgar i'r Esgob am godi ei lais mor ddifloesgni ar y cwestiwn hwn. PENODIAD.

COLWYN BAY WOMEN'S LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. AN ANGLESEY ILLUSTRATION OF PROTECTION. A sessional meeting of the Colwyn Bay Women's Liberal Association was held in the Lecture Hall on Friday evening. There was a. large attendance, over which Mr Henry Lewis, J.P., Conway, presided. The subject discussed was "Free Trade," and Mrs Stanbury, of London, was the special speaker. The Chairman was accompanied on the plat- form by Mrs Stanbury, Miss Sugden (hon. secretary), and Mr J. Thompson, J.P. The meeting was opened by Mr J. Thompson, who said that the question of Free Trade or Pro- tection affected mothers and housekeepers even more than men. Tariff reformers urged as one reason why a change was required in the fiscal system, that free trade was antiquated, and that something more modern should be looked for. If free trade was antiquated protection was even more so, because some of the soundest arguments in favour of protection were made at the period of the battle of Waterloo. None of them would wish to go back to the "hungry forties," which was the blackest era in the history of the country (hear, hear). The Chairman introduced the subject with an allegory. He represented the island of Angle- sey having complete home rule, and trying ex- periments with tariffs. Some centuries ago, ow- ing to the industry in the growing of rushes on the marshes in the district, Newborough was very prosperous. The roofs in the island were then thatched with rushes, but the rising of the Carnarvonshire slate caused the rush trade to languish. The speaker pictured a young man in Newborough who thought of improving the state of his locality by getting the County Council to put a big tax on Carnarvonshire slates. This was done, with the result that the village in- dustry revived. Llanercbymedd people becoming stimulated by this success demanded a duty on imported boots, thus to restore the lost trade 01 that town, whilst the farmers of Llanddona and of fertile Beaumaris wanted a duty on imported early potatoes, to allow of the recovery of their lost industry in raising early potatoes. This last reqnest the County Council at first refused to accede to on the ground that it would raise the price of the food of the people. As a result, the potato growers subscribed a secret fund. with which they backed certain members to vote for their protection (laughter). The lessons drawn from the allegory, said the speaker, were the following:- 1. If you protect one industry you must protect alL 2. The increase in the price of commodities will wipe awy the increase in the wages of the working men, but it will not wipe away the in- creased profits of the capitalist, a 3. The capitalist alone stands to gain by Pro- tection or tariff reform. 4. Protection stimulates the formation of trusts and great companies with immense capital. 5. Protection will stimulate lobbying and bri- bery and corruption in the public life of the country (applause). WRONG IMPRESSIONS. Mrs Stansbury followed, and referred in appre- ciative terms to the address of the chairman, which, she said, threw much light on that diffi- cult and complicated question. The "dumping" stories of the tariff reformers were only fit to lead away young people with weak minds. All housekeepers thought of money as wealth, but when dealing with social questions they should not think of money value. Nothing came into this country which was not paid for with an equivalent in kind. It was necessary to remove the impression which existed in some quarters that "dumping" took out of the country money which might be spent on home labour. Times had changed since the nation adopted free trade, and during that period their marvellous shipping trade, one of the wonders of the age, had sprung up, and in dealing with the question of free trade should be put down as a great asset. She did not speak from the point of view of the rabid free trader who thought that everything good had been brought about by free trade, any more than she ascribed all the flaws and horrors she had seen in protected countries to protection. Every scheme devised by tariff reformers, if one only had the wit to see it, was a scheme to bene- fit the few at the expense of the many. The deplorable state of affairs in Germany and the United States gave the lie direct to the tariff re- formers, who said protection would be a cure for unemployment. Free trade was an excellent thing, as it enabled the best products of one country to be exchanged for those of another. It also did much for comradeship between the workers of the world, and thus made for universal peace (applause). The Chairman, in a few remarks, said he was sure they would all have their interest in free trade quickened by Mrs Stansbury's excellent ad- dress. If people, more especially young people, studied the history of their country in the days of protection, he did not think there would be many tairff reformers. Mrs Thos. Lloyd proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the speaker, and remarked that though the rate of wages was higher in some protected countries, yet the cost of living was correspond- ingly high, as several young people who had left Colwyn Bay for the United States had found out to their cost. Mr J. Crompton, in seconding, said he was very thankful that the Women's Association had taken up the question of free trade, as it was a woman's question. Although it would be to his personal advantage and an undoubted benefit to the firm with which he was connected if the country adopted protection, he would not do any- thing to injure his brothers and sisters, but do to others as he would be done by (applause). The motion was unanimouslv agreed to, and the Chairman was also cordially thanked.

When enough of the friends of Edward V. had been executed by the King's uncle and "Proteqtor," Richard Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Buckingham, Gloucester's friend, went to the Guildhall and extolled Gloucester's virtues. A chorus of ragamuffins hired for the occasion cried "God save King Richard," and next day Buckingham, in the name of the citizens, humbly petitioned Richard to accept the Crown.

HOUSE BREAKIN G AT LLANRWST AND MENAI BRIDGE. LLANDEGAI AND CRICCIETH MEN BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. ACCUSED COMMITTED FOR TRIAL* The Bettwsycoed courthouse was crowded on Friday morning, when John Owen Jones, of Llandegai, Bangor, and George King Owen, of Criccieth, appeared on remand charged with housebreaking. Colonel Johnstone and Mr L. W. Jelf-Pettit were the magistrates. Supt. Rees, who prosecuted, explained that the accused were charged with breaking and en- tering Gwydr Cottage, Llanrwst, the residence of Mr Thomas Evans, the Earl of Carrington's head gardener, and stealing therefrom a black suit of clothes, a gold bangle, a lady's silver watch, and a razor, together with 30s in money. Thomas Evans said that on October 25th he and his family left the house about 5.30 p.m., after seeing that the doors and windows were properly secured, and attended Divine service at the Llanrwst Church. On returning about 7.40 p.m., he found that two panes of glass in the back room window had been broken. On enter- ing the premises he found that ten drawers had been opened and ransacked, while one. which had been left locked, had been burst open, and the contents scattered on the kitchen table. About 30s in money had been taken out of a purse, which had been left on a table empty. A lady's silver watch, which had been left upon the kitchen dresser, was also missing, together with a pair of gloves. From the bedroom he missed a gold bangle and a razor, a small satchel, and a suit of black clothes. He identified the articles produced as his property, which be valued at £ 6. He informed the police of his loss. THE ARREST. P.C. F. J. Holgate, of Llanrwst. said that on the evening of October 28th he arrested Jones, and asked him if he bad been offering a razor and gold bangle for sale. Jones replied in the negative. He was thereupon removed to the police station and searched, with the result that the razor and gold bangle were found upon him. Accused said the articles had been giyen him by another man at his lodging. He was then in- formed that he would be detained on suspicion of having stolen the articles from Gwydr Cottage. He replied that he knew nothing about it, and that the articles were given to him by another man whom he described. The accused was handed over to Sergeant Breese, Bettwsycoed, with the articles found upon him. On the following day, from the description supplied by the accused, witness arrested the other man (Owen), and searched him, but found nothing incriminating upon him. He possessed 12s at the time. Ho was also removed to Bettwsycoed by rail, and on the way he volunteered the following statement, which witnessed reduced to writing:— "I and the other prisoner whom you have got in custody, on Saturday, October 24th, walked from Trefriw towards Gwydr Castle. Instead of turning towards Llanrwst we went ,traitht along past the Oastle. On the right we observed a cottage. Thereupon Jones aid to me, 'li'KIk here, mate, we are hard up; we will see what we can get in that house; the people are certain to at- tend a place of worship to-morrow evening. So we will come here after they are gone, and try our luck.' We went there the following even- ing about 6.30. I stopped in the road while Jones went inside the house. When he came out again he had a suit of clothes under his arm. He gave me a sovereign and a silver watch to keep." Witness thereupon asked him where lie watch was. Owen replied, "I have got it on me," and he then produced it from some part of his cloth- ing, where it was secreted. Owens also said that the other man left him on Tuesday morning. Sergeant J. Breese, Bettwsycoed, gave evidence to the effect that when Jones was handed over to his charge on October 28th he said in answer to the charge, "I don't know anything at all about it. The articles were given to me by another man who deals in such things." Owens had been handed over into his custody on the fol- lowing day, charged with the offence, in the pre- sence of the other man. Owens replied, "I did not enter the house." Jones was also charged in Owen's presence, and replied, "I know no- thing about it." Owens thereupon turned round to him and said, "You entered the house while I stood outside." The silver watch was handed over to witness as having been found upon Owens. P.C. Benjamin Williams, of Trefriw, said he found the suit of clothes produced on October 29tb. inside the Gwydr Castle grounds, together with the satchel produced. In reply to the charge, Jones said, "I know nothing about it," while Owen said, "I did not break into the house." Both accused were committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions. THE MENAI BRIDGE CASE. The accused were further charged with steal- ing from the ball of the Liverpool Arms Hotel, Menai Bridge, on October 22nd, a boy's overcoat, a lady's Inverness, and two pairs of gloves, the property of the licensee. Inspector Jones, who had charge of the case, explained that the clothing were left hanging in the hall of the hotel on the night of October 22nd. One of the accused was seen in the house' and served with a glass of beer that night. The "Inverness'* was sold at Bangor a few hours later. Mary Anne Thomas, wife of the licensee of the Liverpool Arms Uotel, deposed that she was in charge of the bar on the evening in question. She identified the articles produced as those she lost from the hall that night, and she valued them at E2 17s. They were kept on the stand close to the front door, in the lobby. She saw Jones in the bar, where he was served with beer. She) spoke to him, but did not see Owen. After Jones had left the premises she found the articles miss- ing, and informed the police. In reply to the Inspector, Witness said she missed the articles about twenty minutes after" Jones had left the premises. Elizabeth Rowlands, 28, Drum-street, Bangor, said that on the evening of October 22nd Jones called at her house. She had known him for many years, as he lived but a short distance from her shop. He used to be employed as a joiner. He came to the kitchen, and oomplained that he had failed to find work. He then produced a parcel and offered the "Inverness" produced for sale. She asked him where he got it from, and he replied that it had been left by his sister, and that his mother had given it to him to sell. She bought the garment, and gave 2s 6d for it. He said he intended to take a tramp to South Wales. The other accused who was inside was called in. and witnessed the transaction. Jones: I called Owen in and said to him, "Is 2s 6d sufficient for the 'Inverness?' I then handed the 2s 6d to him. Owen (passionately): Speak the truth and don t tell lies. P.C. W. Jones, of Menai Bridge, gave evi- dence to the effect that he went to Mrs Row- lands' shop at Bangor, and had the "Inverness" handed over to him. Inspector O. Jones said that when charged with the offence Jones replied, "I did nothing of the sort." Owen said, "No, I did not." Witness did not know the men. P.C. Holgate stated that he saw the overcoat in the accused's lodgings. Both accused were committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions. Jones and Owen were further charged with the larceny, under tha same circumstances, of a macintosh" from the Liverpool Arms Hotel, the prooerty of Mr Fletcher. Albert E. Fletcher, of the Hawthorns, Parbold, near Southoort. statc-d he left the macintosh in the hall of the hotel on the evening in question. The article produced was his property, and hel valued it at B2. Sergeant Breese explained that he found the macintosh on the accused Owen when he was handed over into his custody. Owen said that it ha,d been taken out of an hotel at Menai Bridge. .Jones made a long statement to the effect that he had bought the macintosh from a man on the instalment plan, but could neither give the man's name nor address. Inside the pockets he found the missing glove. In reply to the charge, Jones said, "I did not steal the macintosh." Owen said, "On the even- ing of October 22nd Jones and I were at Menai Bridge. Jones said. 'I will return in a minute; I want to get a little to eat.' Half an hour elapsed before he returned, when he had the things under his arm. He said, 'Come along, we will go with the boat.' I asked. 'What have you got under your arm?' He replied, 'Come on and you will see.' I replied, 'No, we will go over the bridge, the same way as we came; but eventually we went with the boat to Ban- gor. Jones there said he would go and see someone he knew with the clothes. He did so, and I waited outside." Both men were committed for trial on this charge also.
