r—— — As the result of the presence of Dutch war- ihipa in Venezuelan waters, the Venezuelan Cabinet has resolved that the first ship oommit- :ng an unfriendly act will be fired upon. There is no more reason for specially taxing land values than for taxing the rents of houses or dividends on shares. The real object of this movement is to make the private ownership of real propertiy so onerous that the way will be paved for land nationalisation "Estates Gazette.

Throe children were rescued from being burnt in bed on Friday night under exciting circum- stances at Llandudno. The children, whose ages range from eight downwards, had been put to bed by their mother, the wife of Mr R. E. Jones, who occupies rooms over a jeweller's shop in Lower Mostyn-street A mq.n named John Jones, living at 35, Jubilee-street, was standing near Trinity Church, opposite the shop, when he saw the curtains of an upper room over the shop were on fire. He rushed across the street and told the startled mother, who ran to the door in response to his loud knock, that there was fire upstairs. He ran to the room, found the children behind the bed half suffocated, the room full of smoke, the curtains and dressing table on fire, and the flames just attacking the bedclothes. A young main named J. Parry had followed Jones upstairs, and the two succeeded in beating out and stifling the fire just as Sergeant Jones and other policemen arrived on the scene. The children were fortunately unhurt.

LLANRWST TRADESMEN CO-OPERATE. AN ASSOCIATION FORMED. A meeting of tradesmen convened by five of the largest tradesmen in the town was held at the Town Hall on Thursday evening, when practically every shop-keeper in town attended. Mr R. G. Owen, Greenwich House, who was elected to the chair, expressed his pleasure at the evident interest evinced in the object of the meeting, which was to promote unity and better understanding between the tradesmen of the town. They were there to discuss the ways and means to attain that object. The tradesmen were the back-bone of the town, and it was es- sential for them to unite and become a power to defend their interests (applause). Things had lately assumed a serious aspect, and it was time for them to unite in repelling the evil that threatened them as shopkeepers (ajiplause).- INVADED BY OUTSIDERS. Mr J. W. Jones remarked that he had felt the want of unity between the tradesineii for years, as there were many points to discuss. The ques- tion of shop hours should be settled, as under present conditions some shops were kept open after others had closed. On the previous Wed- nesday several strangers appeared in the town and offered their goods on sale on the Market Square. A scene was enacted in consequence, which aroused them as shopkeepers to action in self defence (applause). He hoped the Council would arrange their bye-laws so as to do away with these hawkers. What he termed company shops had been opened in the town, with the re- sult that the bad paying customer spent his money with them, and asked for credit at the other shops. They lived in a free country, and could not prevent the companies opening shops in the town, but if an association was formed they would become acquainted with the bad payer and put a stop to his tactics. Mr E. Lloyd Jones said that strangers mono- polised the Market Square and offered their goods for sale, and only paid 6d or a Is for the privilege, while the tradesmen paid heavy rates towards the administration of the town. Mr A. Hughes, Compton House, said that such associations had been the means of doing excellent work in other towns, and should prove of equal value at Llanrwst. The competition promoted by strangers was felt directly or indirectly by every trade, and it was time the question of their mon- opoly of the Market Square should be finally settled. An association of the kind suggested would be of the greatest value and erf assistance to the Council, who would not fail to listen to the united opinion of such an important body of men (applause). Mr W O. 'Williams pointed out that such an association had been formed before, but owing to apathy on the part of the tradesmen it died in its infancy like every other movement inaugura- ted in the town. Festiniog boasted of an asso- ciation by which they had been instrumental in black-listing the bad payers in the town. Mr Thomas, saddler, denied the sudden demise of the previous association, as it had Jasted for four years. The most important business tran- sacted during that period was the price of "grocerS" sacks" (laughter). Mr A. Hughes moved, and Mr Jonathan Jones seconded, tha-t an association be formed and termed "The Llan,y,Ú Tradosmen s Association," which was unanimously adopted. Mr R. G. Owen was elected chairman, Mr Ro bert Williams (Gwydr House) treasurer, and Mr David Jones (Berlin House) secretary. The following were appointed to act on the Executive Committee with the officials :-Messrs Evan Pughe, J. W. Jones, Comet Stores; J. Jones, Central Restaurant; A. Hughes, Compton House; E. Lloyd Jones, and J. Thomas, saddler. It wai decided that the subscriptions for the first year should be one shilling. CLOSING ON BOXING DAY. After some discussion it was resolved to close the shops on Boxing Pay. LOVED THE JEWS. Mr David Jones enquired whether the associa- tion were going to move in regard to the spaces on Ma.rket Square. Mr J. Thomas suggested tha.t the matter be left in abeyance until the association was in working order. But he felt that the Council should make such a charge for the spaces that for they would form an asset to the town. There was no reason why all the Jews in the country should be allowed to dump their goods there practically free of charge. The Chairman: I feel no animosity towards the Jews; I love them (laughter). Mr Pryce Williams, London House, remarked that one councillor at least was favourable to the strangers. He (the speaker) took a space on the Market the previous Wednesday, but it meant practically a free fight to maintain it. If the tradesmen took the spaces until the Council had settled the question they could keep the Jews and others away in the meantime. The Chairman explained that rules would be prepared and submitted for the approval of the next meeting, after which they could discuss the different subjects which interested them, and de- cide upon their future action. The meeting then terminated.
LIBERALISM AT FESTINIOG

LIBERALISM AT FESTINIOG MR OSMOND WILLIAMS, M.P., AND THE LORDS. A largely attended Liberal demonstration waa held at Blaenau Festiniog on Saturday night. Mr Wm. Owen, chairman of the Merionethshire Liberal Association, presided. A resolution was passed expressing unabated ooofideoce in the Government, aDd in Mr Oe- mond Williams, M.P., and another resolution ex- pressed profound indignation at the action of the House of Lords in rejecting the Licensing Bill. Mr Osmond Williams said the loss by bye- elections waa the penalty the Liberal party had to pay for reform. No great measure of social reform such ac the Licensing Bill could be brought before the country without risk. The Trade had always been recognised as the greatest instrument for corruption the democratic Govern- ment had ever seen. The question naturally arose whether the rejection of the Licensing Bill and the failure of the Education compromise would not, or should not, bring about a tinal struggle between the two Houses, culminating quickly in a general election, for if they accepted the wreck- ing of the Lioensing Bill and took the insulting result of the insolent meeting at Lansdowne House lying down, they would, in his opinion, be abandoning all hope of solving the drink question. But whatever might be the future of temperance and licensing reform, there was no doubt this had been a very remarkable year. Mr Williams then dealt with the Old-Age Pensions Act and other measures passed by the Govern- ment. Regarding the education compromise, be must say that as a Bill he hated it. He disliked the right of entry, and could not oontempiate contracting-out with equanimity, but as a com- promise he had supported it (applause). The creed of Liberalism, he went on, was "Trust the people," and as a believer in that creed Socialism had no terrors for him. Concluding, he said it was time to clear the decks for the supreme constitutional and social struggles which had so rapidly developed owing to the pro- vocative encroachments of the House of Lords.

MB BRANSBY Williams—Mi caw bar and Uriah Heep ("David Oopperfield"). Classical and popular band numbers are agree- ably mixed. The Havana selections by the Cold- stffeams give a complete resume of the melodies in Mr George Edwards' latest Gaiety success. They are capitably reproduced. Tine cornet duet by Hawkins and Webb is in its original form one of the finest ducts for tenor and bari- tone ever written, and possibly some readers have in their possession the record made by Mr John Harrison and Air Robert Radford. The re- cording of the brass instruments is beautifully smooth, the cornet notes sounding clear and sweet. The Spanish Dance is a descriptive pieoe full of real Spanish colouring. It is a wild whirling dance to the accompaniment of oafitanets, and shows the rich voluptuous melody for which the music of Spain is renowned. Offenbach's Reminiscences, arranged by Winter- bottom, form a delightful number of sparklwg musio. The Pan to mine Suite de Ballet (arranged by Dan Godfrey) includes an expressive and bravura piece of solo work for the oboe, and is a most attractive record. Pryor's Band contri- butes a cLever Spanish waltz. One hears the "click" of the castanets, and in imagination pictures the Spanish dancer in the midst of an admiring group of Spaniards. This will prove a favourite record for impromptu dances in the home circle. The "Holy City" will always be associated with Mr Edward Lloyd's name, for during the latter part of his career he sang rt perhaps more frequently than any other ballad. This is the second record he has made of this beautiful song, and it is much superior to the first one. It has a soft organ obligato. The Soala Orchestra gives a fine rendering of Verdi's march from "Aida," the singing tone of the brass Instruments being especially noteworthy. Mr John Harrison and Mr Evan Williams sing all their pieces with true artistry, and t'he records of this month are characteristic. A notable record is the tenor song of Herr Herold, one quite worthy of a place amongst celebrity records. He possesses a powerful voice, which is heard to advantage in the broad melo- dic passages. His high notes are true to pitch, whilst the mellow notes of his middle voice remind us of Caruso. This record should sell well. Madame Jones-Hudson, assisted by Mr Eli Hudson, on the flute, makes a splendid record of Sir Julius Benedict's song. It admirably suite her bird-like voice. Benedict has written some wonderful music, and will be remembered as the composer of the Lily of Killarney. He was a German musician, who afterwards became naturalised in England. We believe he was for a time conductor at Drury Lane. Miss Edna Thornton's record, a solo out of Sullivan's "Prodigal Son," is a gem of purest melody, and the richness of the rendering wiil appeal to all lovers of the late Arthur Sullivan's art. Miss Thornt.on has a lovely quality of voice, which is very apparent in her singing. "When Hands Meet;" is another example from t.he ece mingle inexhaustible sitore of Pinsuti's part-songs, and is beautifully rendered by Miss Perceval Allen, Miss Alice Lakin, Mr Harrison, and Mr Rad- ford- The exquisite finish and balance of parte for which this quartette is notable is well main- tained, wifh the result that the reooTd is a worthy successor to those already made. Sulli- van's "Yea, though I walk ("Light of the World") shows that, his many gifts included the writing of part-songs, and the rendering which the quartette of voices gives of this piece is truly exquisite. Mr Robey and Mr Lauder sing soaiie of their latest successes in their best stylo. "He was very, very kind to me" is funny, and, needless to saer, the husband in the piece is a Sootohman! The two examples by Mr Bransby Williams from the excellent and unique character-studies of Dickens, delivered with beautiful finish, will be greatly admired. Instrumental records are always popular, and the new records are even an improvement on tihose which have gone before. NEW BACKHAUS RECORDS. Eight new pianoforte records have been made by Herr Wilhelm Backhaul, and these surely represent the highest point of recording piano tone. The piano as an instrument of percussion has hitherto proved something of a stumbling block to the recording expert, but the new num- bere enable gramophone lovers to hear the great pianist at bis best. Their volume and clarity of tone is quite wonderful. Pianoforte students could not do better than purchase these records. LOCAL AGENTS. COLWYN Bay.—Fleet's Musio Warehouse.
