Without a License. William* Edward Lewis, Cwmbrwyno. Llanbadarn, was charg- ed with carrying a gun without a license on January ot ti. Defendant admitted the offence. Mr Cruickshank, who appeared for the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, said defendant was seen 011 the date in question by P.C. Owen in a field carrying a gun. He was accompanied by a fox ter- rier dog, which was searching the bushes. He was asked, if he had a license, and said no. Later in the day he went to the Post Office at Goginan, and took out a license.— Defendant said he did not take out a license because he was out of employment.—Fined 21 and costs. Theft by Boys.—Frederick Green (12), 9, Penglaise-row; Edward Warrington, 12, Poplar-row, and George Hughes (10), Northgate Villa, Llanbadarn-road, Aber- ystwyth, were charged with having stolen nine eggs, value Is., the property of Mar- garet Pierce, Commins Coch, on March 30th. Prosecutrix said she had a hen sitting in the pigstye Qni ten eggs. On Wednesday afternoon she left the house for about twenty minutes. Returning about four, she found a broken egg on the roadway, and on making further search she found that all the eggs had been taken out of the box. Information was afterwards given to the police.—P.C. Thomas Davies said about five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon he met the three defendants on Penglaise Hill. Fred- erick Green had a tin can in his hand con- taining eggs. Asked to account for them Hughes interposed and said they had had them from Miss Jenkins, at Waun. Green said he found them in a hedge. He cau- tioned them, and Warrington said Green went into the pigstye and took nine eggs out. He afterwards divided them equally. -T-hd mother of Green, who was present, said the father had not done anything to the boy yet, but was waiting to see. what the magistrates would do.—Warrington was ordered to receive twelve strokes with the birch, and the other two lads six strokes each. Resignation of Superintendent Phillips.— Superintendent Phillips, addressing the Bench, said as this would be the last occa- sion he would appear before them in his official capacity, ho-begged to thank them most sincerely for the kindness and courtesy shown to him ever since he came to the dis- trict. No one knew better than himself that -his shortcomings had been many. but he had been treated as if he were tie most capable man. He also begged to thank the learned clerk in the warmest manner for the kind help he had tendered him on all occasions.—Captain Bray said he was sorry t.ho:d' L- V11UV j. juilliyo* Wild gUiUg IAJ leave them, and if the person who came in 1 his place did as well as he had, they would be well satisfied. On behalf of his fellow- magistrates he wished him health and hap- I piness for the remainder of his life.—Mr. Hugh Hughes, magistrates' clerk said he bad had the pleasure of Mr. Phillips' ac- quaintance for twenty or thirty years, and they had always worked harmoniously' to- gether. He extremely tegretted that he was now severing himself from active con- nection with the police force. He was, however, pleased that he was not going to leave them altogether, and thati he would still continue to reside in the county. He thought he was expressing the feeling of his profession generally when he said that they had at all times received the greatest courtesy from Mr. Superintendent Phillips when brought in contact with him, profes- sionally or otherwise. He, personally, had had one or two skirmishes with him, but, However much they had been opposed to ich other, they always parted friends. He felt keenly that the force was losing a very efficient officer and a man of very great discretion by losing Superintendent Phillips. He hoped lie would be spared many years to enjoy life and the pension that he so well- deserved from his county.—Superintendent Phillips acknowledged, in suitable terms, the kind expressions made toward him.

BORTH. Obituary.—The death took place on Mon- day morning at the advanced age of 82 years of Mr. Evan Griffiths, joiner, Rose Place. He was probably one of the oldest inhabitants of Borth, where he had seen the coming and going of many generations. He was held in high esteem by all who knew him. His wife predeceased him about twelve years ago, and although he had borne the weight of his long years remarkably well up till recently his health began to under- mine about a year ago. His death is mourned by two sons and four daughters, viz., Dr. Griffiths of Lampeter, Mr. Richard Griffiths, of Manchester; Mrs. Davies, Barry, Mrs. Beynon, Borth, Mrs. Evans, Liverpool, and Miss Griffiths, Rose Place, Borth. The funeral will take place on Fri- day when the interment will be made at Llanfihangel Geneu'r Glyn. Borth Groynes.—An Observer writes: At last Borth people are of one mind, and that is, that the system of Groynes and Jetties adopted and put up by the County Council at Borth, is the only efficient remedy against the encroaching sea. Every other person here bewails the pity it was not thought of 40 years ago. What an incredible lot of anxiety and loss, also expenses would have been prevented. Thousands of pounds having beeivspent by individual owners with the only apparent result of having done some harm to the nearest neighbour. The new groynes and jetties have answered splendidly, and Mr. Davy Jones has to ap- proach them with a kind of majestic respect, and seems to be on the point of abandoning his attack altogether and shifting his opera- tions lower down. It's about time that somebody awoke to the necessity of d.ing something further North. Now is the time to throw out a tew jetties to prevent the shingle to travel. If the owners of property to the north of the Hotel are net up and doing, in a season or two they will find that they will not have anything left to protect The County Council also may well be on the watch, the thing could be done now for hundreds of pounds less than in two years hence. The Annual Eisteddfod in connection with Soar Calvinistic Methodist Chapel of this place was held on Good Friday. The weather being favourable and the Committee having provided an attractive programme, the building was filled to overflowing. The afternoon meeting being) confined to com- petitors from Soar and Dolybont Sunday Schools, outsiders were not expected to take a very keen interest in the proceedings. But evidently, the competitive spirit must have entered and occupied the very soul of our young people of both sexes so that they could not keep away even if they wished; and judging by the many expressions, of ap- proval they thoroughly enjoyed the pro- ceedings although they had no part in it. The adjudicators on the several subjects were:— Music, Mr. M. DeLloyd G.T.S.C., Penyparke; recitations etc., Rev. D. Mor- gan, Penllwyn; handicraft, etc., Mr. Rich- ard Jones, Bow Street, and Miss Mary Jones also of Bow Street. When it is under- stood that there were over 250 entries al- together, the work the adjudicators had to cope with was not by any means an easy task. The following programme in the hands of Mr. Richard James. Brynllys was set a rolling at two o'clock and went through to the end without a hitch:—Pianoforte solo, 2 entries, 1 Miss M. A. Davies, Mona House: recitation Hymn 69, 1 Annie Mary Evans 2 Llewelyn Jones singing, tune St. Saviour, 1 Mary Lloyd Felix. 2 Dewi James 3 Maggie Jones: recitation, "Y Plentvn a'i fam." 1 J. E.

A. Davies; adjudici- tion, on those that had committed to mem- ory Romans ix to xvi inclusive. The adju- dicators being Messrs T. Morgan and Wil- liam Jones. Mr. Morgan in a short and pithy speech awarded the 1st prize to Mrs. Susanah Evans, Tai Canol, and the 2nd to Miss Jane Morgan. Brynowen. Harry Brind- ley Beynon also succeeded in getting the 1st prize for Aets xiii to xviii: for the best rendering of Paul's oration in Areopagus Acts xiii 22-31, 1st Lizzie Hughes Penybont: 2 Olwen Beynon; singing tune Wynistay" 1 E. Ll. Evans; 2 Jenny Davies; 3 J. E. Jones singing tune "Coronaxaento" 1 Jane Jenkins; 51 Maud Davies; 3 Olwen Beynon; male voice solo, 1 Mr. Lewis Pugh (jumv), Ynyslas. The audience by this time shewing a decided longing for a cup of tea, the meet- ing had to be brought to a close until 6 o'clock. But long before the clock indicat- ed that hour, the place was again completely filled and the evening meeting commenced by the whole congregation singing the old tune Crugybar" and after a few brief remarks by the Secretary and Chairman the following programme was proceeded with Quartette, 1-.Dewi and Friends, Garn;for the best letter descriptive of town life, 1 Annie Beynon Borth, and Morris R.

R. Evans, Peny- garn; recitation, Cwyn y bachgen du" Master Arthur Evans, Penygarn; chief choral Nid i Ni 1 Borth United, led by Mr. James Williams, Penybont. Unfor- tunately, there being no competition on this piece the adjudicator had no option but to compare the rendering with a standard of efficiency. The choir having failed to reach that standard a part of the prize was with- held. However, as it was understood that the intention of the choir was to return the whole prize to the organ fund. It is pre- sumed that all is well that ends well. It is said that the undertaking from a financial standpoint was a success, and the proceeds will be added to the rapidly growing fund towards supplying the chapel with a, new organ. The committee feel flattered in being able to secure the service of such an accomplished and undefatigable accompan- ist as Miss R. A. Jenkins. Rock House Borth who has had to work hard and sacrifioe a great amount of her time in attending practises both at home and at the chapel, and all as a labour of love.

Aberystwyth Board of Guardians. A meeting of the Aberystwyth Board of Guardians was held on Monday at the Board Room, Union Workhouse, when there were present the Rev. John Davies, Ceulanamaes- maivr (chairman), presiding; Mrs. E. H. James, Mrs. Evan Evans, Rev. T. A. Penry, Messrs. B. E. Morgan, William Thomas, Aberystwyth Edward Jones, Cwmrheidol; Richard Jajpes, Henllys: Wm. Morris, Cyfoethybremn; M. D. Williams, Issayndre; John Bonner, Llanafan; John Jones, Llan- Llj'nfihaneel Upper: Daniel Jones, Llan- badarn Upper; William Mason, Llancyn- felin; Evan Jones, and David Morgan, Llan- fihangel Upper; E.

(clerk), E. Llewellin (assistant derk), W. Jones (master), and the relieving officers. The Tramp Nuisance. A circular letter was read from the Car- j marthen Union, complaining of the* large increase in vagrancy, and the difficulty of dealing with it. The Guardians, with the view of abating the nuisance, detained all vagrants admitted to the Workhouse for two nights, and made them break the regula- tion quantity of stones, and no vagrants were discharged on; Sunday. So far, how- ever, these measures had failed to produce the desired effect. The Carmarthen Union attributed this failure partly to the want of uniformity in carrying out the vagrancy regulations by the Guardians of various Unions in the three counties, and asked whether this Board was prepared to co- operate in enforcing the regulations in their entirety.—The Master said they did give tramps an increased task when they came to this Workhouse a second time. Other Unions on both sides of them only detained them for one night, and whether they had finished their task or not they were let out about 11 o'clock. In this Workhouse, if they were able to do the task, they were kept in until it was finished.-The Rev. T. A Penry proposed that the Clerk be in- structed to reply to the circular stating1 what was done in this Union, and expressing willingness to co-operate in doing anything to abate this nuisance.—This proposition was carried. Master's Report. The Master reported that the number in the House the first week of the past fort- night was 46 as compared with 41 in the corresponding week of last year, and the second week 46 as compared with 43 last year. The number of vagrants relieved during the past fortnight was 56, as com- pared with 61 in the corresponding fortnight of last year. The number of vagraate re- lieved during tile past half-year was 762, of whom 744 were males, 15 females, and three children. In the corresponding half of last year 650 vagrants were relieved, of whom 132 were males, 14 females, and 4 children, being an increase for the last half-year of 112. Out Relief. Tlief amount of oufc-rel^f administered during the past fortnight was as follows :— Per Mr. T. Morgan. £ 53 14s. to 166 paupers, an increase of 4s. 2d. in amount and 3 in number, with the corresponding fortnight of last year; per Mr. T. N auglian t59 3s. to 182 paupers, an increase of i5 13s. in amount and 11 in number; per Mr. J. J. Hughes, £ 43 14s. to 149 paupers, an in crease of 8s. in amount and 4 in number. Assessment Committee. On the proposition of Mr. W. Morris, seconded by Mr. W. Thomas, it was agreed to pay the Clerk the sum of £ 50, as already fixed, as remuneration for his work as clerk of the Assessment Committee. Votes of Thanks. This being the last meeting of the present Board, Mr. Edward Jones proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman tor the able man- ner in which he had conducted the pro- ceedings during the past year.—Mr. W. Morris, in seconding, said Mr; Davies had discharged his duties in a businesslike way. and had always acted inipw-tially.-fhe pro- position was unanimously carried, and the Chairman, in acknowledging, said although his deficiencies might have been many, ylt he had done his best. The work of the Board had been carried on peacefully, and he accounted for that by the support which he had invariably received from the mem- bers. He also wished to acknowledge his indebtedness to the Clerk, the Assistant Clerk, and the Master for the assistance they had at all times given him.—A vote of thanks was also accorded the vice-chairman (Mr. J. B. Morgan), on the proposition of the Rev. T. A. Penry, seconded by Mr. David Morgan.—Mr. W. Morns proposed and Mr. M. G. Williams seconded, a vote of thanks to the officials, and this was c. n ried.—The Clerk, in reply, said the Board had shown the greatest respect they could to him by raising his salary, (laughter). Yet, they had not given more than they ought. (Renewed laughter.) He was sorry to see some of the old members leaving, but he hoped the same good feeling that had characterised the old Board would continue in the new.—The Rev. T. A. Penry said he thought they could congratulate themselves that the past year kld been one of the happiest since he had been a member of the Board. The past three years had been some- what in the nature of an experiment, as it was the first time they co-opted lady mem- bers. He believed they took a right step in co-opting lady members, and their pre- sence on the Board had been a great help. He begged to propose a vote of thanks to Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Colby.—Mrs. James seconded.—Mr. W. Morris, in supporting, said he was chairman when ladies first' became members of the Board. 'Ho did not favour the idea at first, as he feared they would find many faults, but he was glad to find he had been disappointed on the right side.—Mr. D. Morgan: That is why you are a bachelor. (Laughter).—Mr. W. Thomas and the Chairman also supported the pro- position, and having been carried, Mrs. Evans made a suitable response.—The press representatives were also thanked, on the proposition of Mr. J. Bonner, seconded by Mr. W. Morris. Co-Optative Members. The Chairman gave notice that at the next meeting he would move the re-election of Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Colby as co-tfpfcative, members.

ABERDOVEY The New Organ.—The new organ has been erected at the Congregational Chapel, and the opening ceremony will shortly be held when Professor Maclean of Portmadoc will preside. Good Friday.—The usual services were held at St. Peter's Church, when the Revs. J. Rowlands, M.A., and Stephen Evans, B.A., officiated. A prayer meeting was also held at the Wesleyan Chapel in the morning. Lecture.—On Friday evening an interest- ing lecture relating his Journalistic Experi- ences was given at the Literary Institute by Mr. W. R. Hall, reporter, Aberystwyth, to the members. Rev. J.

This meeting comes to Aberdovey every three years. The Rev. Lloyd Jones, Llan- dinam, will bê the special preacher. numour.-numour is busy that Mr. Jones Hughes is about to leave the Welsh Calvin- istic Methodist Chapel to fill the gap caused by the lamented death of the late Mr. Edward Davies. If the rumour becomes a fact it will be a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul." Sympathy.—The London Monthly Meet- ing has passed a vote of sympathy with Mr. John Williams, May House in his illness. Before coming to Aberdovey. Mr. Williams was a deacon of one of the London Calvinis- tic Methodist Churches. He is progressing slowly towards recovery. Obituary.—The death took place on Tues- day week at the residence of Mr. Thomas Tvnewyddd, of Mrs. Ellen Griffith at the great age of 93 years. Deceased was well- nown throughout the district, especially at Bryncrug. where she spent most of her long life. She was interred at the et-mctp,-v on Friday, when the Revs. D. Tecwyn Evans. TV A., and E. L. Rowlands (Dyfi). conducted the service. Another Suggestion.—Talking of the sug- gestion to hand over the Town Hall to the Council, people, in the Square are of opinion that the last thing to do .with it woulcl be to pull it down and convert the site into an open space with a fountain in the centre. This would be a revolution indeed, because, as it is, it certainly is not an ornament to the town. Unfortunately, these people are neither directors nor shareholders. The annual competitive meeting of the Calvinistic Methodist Sunday School was held at the Tabernacle Chapel on Good Fri- day evening when the Rev. J. Roberts, B.A., presided and conducted the proceedings, Mr. H. S. Roberts. B.S., Corris. adjudicat- ed the singing. Winners:—Written examin- ation for standard V., I Buddipg Thomas, 2 Evan Rowlands.

West Wales Sanatorium. APPEAL BY LADY DRUMMOND. The West Wales branch of the National Association for the Prevention of Consump- tion and other form of tuberculosis, of which Sir John Williams is chairman, some time ago received a favourable report from a committee on a site for a sanatorium near Llanybyther. The cost of the sanatorium would be about P,6,000 to C7,000, providing 20 free beds and eight beds for paying patients. Lady Cawdor, Lady Drummond, Mrs. Davies- Evans. and Lady Philipps, the wives of the lords-lieutenants of Pembrokeshire, Car- marthenshire, Cardiganshire, and Haverford- west respectively, have kindly undertaken to organise a grand bazaar and fancy fair to be held in Carmarthen Park, either in the last week of July or the first week of Aug- ust, in aid of the movement to provide a sanatorium, and they ask the co-operation of the ladies in the various towns and dis- tricts in the counties of Carmarthen, Pem- broke, and Cardigan. A preliminary meet- ing, convened by Mrs. Trubshaw, at the re- quest of Lady Drummond, has been held at Llanelly to make arrangements for the bazaar, and the proceedings were highly successful. Lady Drummond has issued to head school teachers in Carmarthenehire a circular giv- ing an account of the proposed sanatorium for West Wales, and suggesting to them that if they could get the school children to col- lect pennies a large sum would be realized, and she would gladly receive the money on July 1st, or earlier, at Edwinsford, Llandilo. Her ladyship will supply collecting cards The suggestion appears likely to be readily taken up by the teachers and children of the county.

FOREIGN WOMEN IN LONDON A shocking story was told at Bow-street Police- court, London, on Saturday, when Elfsa Vankyrke, a good-looking young woman, dressed in a fur cape over a fashionably cut dark-blue gown, who gave her address a Sussex Mansions, was charged, on remand, with procurtug Zenobbie Verbaighe, a Belgian girl, aged sixteen, for improper purposes. The prisoner, it was alleged, met the girl at Brussels, where she was in the service of the Com- missioner of Police. She brought her over to London, and sent her out to earn her living on the streets. Prosecutrix, in reply to Mr. Williamson, who prosecuted, said that the whole of the money she received she handed over to the prisoner. She herself had no money. A day or two before the prisoner was arrested witness told the servant that she was going away. That reached the prisoner's ears, and when she was promenading in Piccadilly she always kept witness in her sight. Next evening, however, witness managed to get away from her by dodging through the traffic, and went to the Alhambra Theatre. The prisoner's lover (Pierre) was also there, and he asked witness if she would be his wife, and he would send the prisoner back to c Belgium. She promised to consider the matter. As they were leaving the theatre together the prisoner came up and asked witness to return. She promised her all sorts of things, and said she should have half of the money she received. Witness went back, but next morning the prisoner kept her boots away from her and threatened to gore out her eyes with scissors. In the evening witness ran out of the house. Pierre followed her downstairs, and the prisoner called out to him, "Take her. Kill her." Witness, however, managed to reach a police- constable, and he brought her to Bow-street. A further remand was ordered.

in a flote to Che rowers the Servian Government claims that it has now settled the question of the position of the regicides. Eight persons have been injured as the result of a moter-car accident at Grove-hill, Harrow. The car, failing to take a turn in the road, turned a complete somersault. The Westminster magistrate has decided that the Baroness de Heureux, charged with assault at a South Kensington hotel, be sent to the infirmary for the state of her mind to be inquired into. She had said she was to marry Mr. Austen Chamberlain.

Cardigan Nursing Institute. SUCCESSFUL YEARS WORK. The annual meeting of the subscribers to Cardigan District Nursing Fund was held at the Guild Hall on Wednesday afternoon in last week. Amongst those present were Mrs. E. Mathias (mayoress), Mrs. Morgan- Richardson (president); Mrs. R. W. Picton Evans, Mrs. Evans, Vicarage; Mrs. D. Davies, Mrs. J. Williams (Bryngogarth); Mrs. T. H. Williams (secretary), Mrs. Haden, Mrs. Daniel, Bingham; Mrs. Lewis, Gordon- terrace; Mrs. Moelwtyn Hughes, Mrs. J. Evans, Mrs. D. Morgan Jones, Messrs. W. Picton Evans, Beynon Evans, W. Lewis, Lloyd's Bank; Rev. G. Hughes, E. Ceredig Evans, D. Morgan Jones, and T. H. Williams, with Nurse Hawes. Mr. T. H. Williams proposed that Mr. Picton Evans take the chair, and this being seconded by Mr. Beynon Evans, was agreed to. Mr. Evans took the chair, and at the out- set said this was the anniversary of the Car- digan Nursing Institute and the subscribers had been called together for the purpose of hearing the accounts of the work done. He had first to read a letter from Dr. C. Griffith Jones, who very much regretted being unable to attend the meeting. Con- tinuing, he said they were anxious that the doctors should be present because they would have been able to give them some information with regard to the working of the nurse. The report of the work was then present- ed, and it showed that during the year the nurse attended 112 cases, and paid 4,006 visits. The report of the inspection of the nursing work by Miss Frankes, of the Queen's Jubilee Institute was very satisfactory. In presenting the first report, the Committee begged to state that excellent work had been accomplished, they considering themselves exceedingly fortunate in having secured the services of Miss Hawes, who worked with untiring energy and consummate skill. She had made a favourable impression in the homes visited, and especially among the poor, where her services were highly appre- ciated. The appeal made on behalf of the Institute had been most liberally and gener- ously responded to. and they were happy to report a balance on the right side. Grate- ful acknowledgement was due to Mr. W. E. James for the proceeds of the opera H.M.S. Pinafore." The proceeds of the sale of the memorial cards of the late Dr. Phillips had also been presented to the committee. The Chairman said they must all admit and agree the report was most satisfactory So far as the work of the Institute was con- cerned, it had been uncommonly well done. The report of the nurses work showed that 3,991 cases were either relieved, cured, or were convalescent, and fifteen deaths took, place. The financial statement showed a bal- ance in the bank of £ 44 7s. 6d., the amount of subscriptions and donations received being £ 141 10s. 6d. The Chairman considered this a very sat- isfactory result, and remarked that some of the expenses appeared on that balance sheet would not be recurring in future years. In that case, presuming they received the same income next year, they would be able to show a better balance still. Mr. Evans also read the report of Miss Frankes, which urged that the funds should be kept up by voluntary subscriptions, and not by charges on cases. Mr. E. Ceredig Evans proposed that the reports as read be adopted. It was a grati- fication to everyone concerned and the work done was very encouraging. Mr. T. H. Williams seconded, and the motion was carried. The Chairman said lie thought where they had such a committee as they had got now, and where the committee took such great interest in it, they could not better than re- appoint it en bloc. He would therefore propose that the president, vice-president, and committee be re-elected with power to add to their number when occasion necessi- tated it, also adding a rider thanking the committee for their work. The Rev. G. Hughes was afforded great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He thought the services rendered by the com- mittee were very commendable indeed, and a special word of recognition was due to two membei-s-the president and the secretary. Mrs. Morgan-Richardson, had discharged her duties to the erreat satisfaction of the com- mittee, and had held the reins with a firm yet gentle hand. Mrs. Williams was air ideal secretary; her heart and soul was in the work, and she had boundless energy to carry it' on. Mrs. Morgan-Richardson said she felt she would be unable to continue as president, as they were going further away from Cardigan, and she would not be able to attend so regularly as she would desire. She thought a president should either be in town or close to it, so as to be in touch with the Committee. The Chairman hoped. Mrs. Mergan-Rich- ardson would re-consider her decision. It was painful to be reminded that they were leaving the! neighbourhood, but this would not take place until nearly the end of the year. He thought as long as they were in the neighbourhood they would keep up the connection with the Cardigan Insti- tute. (Hear, hear.) Mrs. Morgan-Richardson was afraid her decision must be final, but after consider- able further pressure from the meeting she consented to act as president. Mr. Beynon Evans then supported the re- solution, and said the committee had done a large amount of work during the year in collecting subscriptions and in putting the Institute on a proper basis. They could face the future with confidence, a3 he thought it one of the societies that had come to prosper. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then put to the meeting and unanimously carried. The Chairman said he had already given sufficient indication oi' the services Nurse Hawes had rendered. She had had to face difficulties at the commencement, but she would be able to tell them she had now got over them. Mr W. Lewis, Lloyd's Bank, proposed a vote of thanks to the nurse. Mr. D. Morgan Jones in seconding, said during the first year of the mayoralty of Mr. Morgan-Richardson he had first suggested that this institution should be started in Cardigan. Some of, the gentlemen who laughed at him then were now taking a very great interest in the object. I Mr. E. Ceredig Evans also spoke, and the vote of thanks was then accorded Nurse Hawes, who in a few words returned her thanks. The Chairman proposed a vote of thanks to the secretary. Mrs. Williams, and said she had been one of the best secretaries he had ever known. Mr. Beynon Evans seconded the resolu- tion, which —including her re-election—was then agreed to. Mr. W. Lewis, Lloyd's Bank, consenting to act again as treasurer, was re-elected to that office. Mr. T. H. Williams proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, who, he said, had put some life into the meeting. The Rev G. Hughes seconded, and the vote was accorded. The Chairman, in replying, said this In- stitute was a great success, and he always liked to be connected with matters that were a success. This ended the meeting. o

Y Byd a'r Bettws. Mae dial yn felus, medd y ddiareb. Yn yr un modd mae gwelod syniad fu'n an- mhoblogaidd unwaith yn cael ei gyfiawnhau gan amser yn hyfryd i'r teimlad. Nis gall y sawl o honom oeddem wrthwynebwyr i'r rhyfel diweddar yn Neheu Affng, lai na theimla rhyw, gymmaint o orfoledd wrth sylwi ar y caniyniadau. Hyrddid pob llys- enw allai dychymmyg afiachus ei gynllunio yn ein hwynebau am ein gwrthwynebiad iddo inegyst, Bwriaid," Bradwyr," Carwyr pob gwlad ond eu gwlad eu hunain," etc. Bu ein cydwladwr talentog Mr Lloyd George droion mewn perygl o'i fywyd. Bu Corph- oraeth Birmingham bron cael eu gwynebu gan yr anghenrhaid o ail-adeiladu eu Neuaad Drefol mewn canlyniad i'r sylw a dalwyd iddo gan y trigolion. Yn wir, nid yw'r arimhoblogrwydd a ddaeth i ran Mr Lloyd George yr adeg hono wedi llwyr di- flanu eto; ac y mae yn agored i gael ei an- rhegu a nifer o wyau drwg pan y gwna ei ymddangosiad yn y lleoedd hyny y teymasa Xoriaeth yn ei hagrweh cyntefig. Erbyn hyn fodd bynag, mae'n amlwg, ond i'r ddal meddyliol, nad oedd Mr Lloyd George a'i gwmni bradwrus yn mhell o le wedi'r cwbl; ac nid annhebyg 11a ddaw'r adeg, yn fwy buan hefyd nag y meddylir, pan eu cyfrifir fel gwladgarwyr am eu gwrthwynebiad iddo. AIMCAN PROFFESEDIG Y RHYFEL. Pam yr "awd i ryfel a'r Boeriaid yn Neheu Affrig? Rhyddhau'r gwteithwyr o'r cyflwr caethiwus yr oeddynt ynddo yn herwydd cyfreithiau annheg y Werin-Llywodraeth. Dyna un o'r achosion honedig. Yr oedd y gweitliiwr yn cael cam, a rhaid oedd dwyn lioll Ailuoedd y Llywodraeth Brydeinig i ddwyn Kruger a'i gyfeillion, i'w synhwyrau. Yr oedd yr abwyd yn un deniadol dros ben; ac nid rhyfedd fod nifer fawr o weithwyr y wlad wedi cael eu twyllo ganddo i roddi prydles newydd i'r Llywodraeth yn yr ethol- iad diweddaf, fel y gallai gwblhau gwaith bendithiol. Rhwbiem ein llygaid mewn syndod wrth feddwl fod Llywodraeth Dori- aidd yn cymmeryd i fyny ran y gweithiwr tlawd." Yn sicr, nid ymddangosai pethau fel yr arferent wneud. EI WIR AMCAN. Mae'r hyn sydd wedi digwydd er y dyg- wyd y rhyfel i derfyniad wedi ein dwyn in synhwyrau, a gwelwn yn amlwg yn awr mai'r un yw Toriaeth o hyd, er gwaethaf yr ymgeisiadau wneir ganddi yn achlysurol i guctdio ei noethni. Beth sydd wedi dig- wydd? Mae digon wedi digwydd, allem feddwl, i argyhoeddi'r mwyaf hwyrdrwm ei ddeall nad oedd pryder honedig y Llywod- raeth am gyflwr y gweithiwr tlawd" ond ffug; ac mai budd y miliwnaerau oedd ag- bsaf at ei chalon. Yr oedd aur yn mynwes daear y Transvaal; ac yr oedd cyfoethogion Park Lane—na hidiant ddim am yr Ymher- odraeth Brydeinig, 11a pheth ddaw o honi,— wedi gosod eu bryd ar ei gael oddiyno. Ond 0 dan lywodraeth Kruger, nis gallent ei gael oddiyno heb fyned i lawer o draul. Felly rhaid oedd cael y Llywodraeth Bryd- einig i gymmeryd y mater mewn Haw; a gwnaeth hyny dan yr esgus o fynu i'r gweith- wyr Prydeinig yn y Transvaal eu hawliau i fod yn ddinasyddior; o'r Werin-Llywodraeth, ar delerau gwahanol i'r rhai y cynnygid hwy iddo. Y SAFLE HEDDYW. Gwawriodd yn fuan ar feddyliau perchen- ogion y mwnfeydd nas gellid eu gwneud i dalu tra i) yr oedd hunauJr gweithwyr gwynion" mor uchel; ac felly troisant at y Llywodraeth B'rydeinig unwaith eto. I ba ddiben? Am ganiatad i ddwyn Chineaid i Ddeheu Affrig. Wrth gwrs, syrthiodd ein Llywodraeth yn gydwastad a'r llawr o flaen y ddelw aur. Gyda'r mwyafrif o 57, mae'r Senedd wedi rhoi iddynt yr oil a geisient. Bellach disgwylwn glywed fod y miliwTi- aerau tlawd yn dechrcu sirioli, ac yn edrych YIi mlaen am gynhauaf toreithiog. Nis gwaeth ganddynt hwy pa fodd y llenwir eu llogellau. Eu llanw yw'r pwnc pwysig. Ond wrth ganiatau iddynt y fantais hon, mae ein Llywodraeth wedi darostwng enw Pryd- ain yn is nag erioed. AIL-SEFYDLU CAETHWASiAjilTH. Beth yw gwir ystyr yr ordinhad Chineaidd? Ail-sefydlu caethwasiaeth tu fewn i'r tiriog- aethau Prydeinig. Mae Prydain wedi ennill y cymmeriad o fod yn amddiffynydd y gwan ac o fod yn bleidiol i ryddid pawb o'i deiliaid. Ond nis gall hawlio'r cymmer- iad hwnw mwyach ? Mae y rheolau dan y rhai y dygir y Chineaid i Ddeheu Affrig, ac y cedwir hwy danynt tra yno. yn nghyd a'r tal roddir iddynt am eu gwaith, yn gwneud y drefn mewn effaith yn gaethwasiaeth. Beth ddywed y gweithwyr a amddiffynent y rhyfel diweddar ac a roisant eu pleidleisiau 1 gadw'r Llywodraeth Doriaidd oedd gyfrifol am dano mewn swydd yn 1900-beth ddy- wedant am hyn oil yn awr? BARfrEN DDRUD. Gwelwn sefyllfa pethau yn y Transvaal heddyw. Faint gostiodd i Brydain i ddwyn hyn o amgylch? Yr oedd traul y rhyfel oddeutu £ 250,000,000; collodd miloedd eu bywydau; amddifadwyd miloedd o deulu- oedd o ennillwyr eu cynhaliaeth, a darost- yngwyd hwy felly i gyflwr o dlodi; collodd Prydain ei chymmeriad; ac ni synwn fawr nad diwedd yr oil fydd i Bryuain /olli Delieu Affrig yn llwyr. YR WRTHBLAID. Beth wnaeth y blaid Ryddfrydig i rwyst- ro'r drefn newydd i ddod i weithrediad? Mae eu harweinydd—Campbell Bannerman —a chorph y blaid wedi rhoi cyfrif anrhyd- eddus o honynt eu hunain yn yr holl ymdra- fodaeth. Achos Ilawenydd i ni yw na phlei- dleisiodd yr un Rhyddfrydwr drosto. Sut y gallent ? Achos o lawenydd pellach yw fod Cymru yn mron bod yn lan. Dywedaf yn mron bod. oherwydd, os nad wyf wedi camrifo, pleidleisiodd pump o Gymru a Myn- wy dros gaethwasiaeifh. Gobeithio y ced- wir hyn mewn golwg ddydd y prawf gan etholwyr y rhanbarthau hyn. AltWEINYDD YR WRTHBLAID. Mae'r yspryd newydd gyda'r hwn y mae Campbell Bannerman wedi taflu ei hun i waith yr arweinyddiaeth .yn ystod y ddau fis diweddaf yh iechyd calon i Ryddfrydwyr ti'My'r wlad; a phan ddaw dymchweliad y Llywodraeth sigledig bresenol yn ffaith, efe yn fwy n, neb arall o'u harweinwyr ddylai gael y clod. Trwy'r blynyddau mae wedi glynu wrth ei swydd, wedi cyflawnu ei dy- ledswyddau yn ngwyneb anair, gwrthwyneb- iad, a dichell; ac y mae wedi dioddef hyn oil. nid. yn unig oddiwrrtTi y blaid Doriaidd, ond oddiwrth ei blaid ei hun hefyd. Ar gyfrif hyn mae wedi ennill iddo ei hun le gwresog yn. nivnwes pob Rhyddfrydwr; a dyJid gofalu na fydd iddo gael ei droi o'r neilldu yn ffafr personau mwy uchel- geisiol rliag cael cyflawn fwynhau o ffrwyth ei fuddugoliaethau pan ddaw'r adeg o am- gylch. —TWR Y DDERI.

B" Eruptions and Boils broke out all over my body. As fast as some died away others made leir appearance." So says Mrs. Edwards, of Union Street, Barrow-in-Furness.. Hers was a ^jH epical case of bad blood. Bad blood occurs when the liver and digestive system are disordered. H he liver should strain impurities out of the blood. If the liver is disordered it can't do its work, B id the impurities try to escape at the surface. The stomach should fill the blood "with nourishment. If it is sordered it fills it with poison. The result is, strength fails, faintness occurs, Spring debility, adache, and general disorders prevail. All this was so with Mrs. Edwards. Occasionally," she says, I ventured out to get a little fresh air, but I had to go in my ssing gown and a large cape which I bought for the purpose, for I could not dress in the m j dinary way. I, however, had to desist, for several times I was seized with faintness and a VjSg ell prostrate in the street. I was attended by three different doctors for over six months ■ tJ? ■ but I got no relief, and I began to despair of ever getting cured. At last my husband's I 7$\ *1» I mother advised me to try 4 Chas. Forde's Bile Beans,' which I did, and I soon found relief. M Gradually my appetite returned, and before long I did not seem like the same being. The boils entirely disappeared, and I have never had a recurrence of them. It is about twelve WmTf f months since I was completely cured. I owe my present good health to Chas. Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness, and nothing else, and I constantly recommend them to friends, many of whom have experienced their wonderful effects." mrs. edwards. r Barroir-ln-TuxneM.
