ILbc Eimes FRIDAY, JUNE 17th. 190.1. ".Marry when June roses blow-.’’


NOTES BY THE AVAY. niiitc time someltody spoke out about


ihe inglorious lelephonic system which passes muster in the Clitheroe tlislricl. 1 hat it should have been endured so long with­ out something more than an occasional pro­ test passes one’s comprehension. Mr. Tom Garnett’s little homily to the powers that lie in the world of the ’phone, delivered at the meeting of the '1 own Council yesterday- ought to have the effect of rousing them to a sense of their duty. 1 can quite endorse what -Mr. Garnett said 'from personal ex­ perience. and if only .some decisive action |nr the public good is produced subscribers will be deejily grateful.


I'or oni'e in a while the I’own Council


h.is beet) coiibislent. A short lime ago the question of instituting a periodical e.vamin- alion of the children in ilay schools was


Ihoronghly thrashed out and a certain decision arrived at. In the ordinary course one would think that the matter was at an end- pending .a trial of the scheme, but yesterday the battle was renewed with |)re- (•iselv tlie same result as before. Had it been otherwise the Council must only have made themselves a laughing stock. Surely resolutions are not pas.sed at one meeting to be rescinded at the next unless some egregious blunder has been made which evervbody recognises and regrets. As to whether the school children should or should not be medically examined I am not roni'erned jilst now-, but in the interests of public busiitess the Council ought not to be railed upon to light their battles over


again. Glad to sec that the Corporation lire


pushing matters with regard to the; jniblic


libr.arv. Plans have now been a])proved bv the donor’s ow-11 .architect, and the sooner Ih.at ugly corner IS removed from York- -street and a building erectedworthy of the ■ : town and its. inhabitants the better, ', 'T h e


Not often there are two weddings in wliich Clilheroe people are more than ordinarily iinercsted in one week. The marriage of Mr. Thomas Eastham had been anticipated for some lime by his immediate circle of friends but not until the day after Ihe cere mony in London did ihe general public know that the Clerk to the Board of Guar­ dians had joinetl the ranks of the benedicts. This is characteristic of the man and is not at all .surprising , to those who know him best. Since he was installed as Clerk to the Guardians Mr. Easthain has added many to his long list of friends, who wish him and his bride happiness and prosperity.


The Ollier wedding is that of Mr, Pliil.


Mitchell and Mi.ss Holme. Both are well known in the town. Mr. Alitchell greatly- increased in iwinilar favour by the sacri­ fice he made in going to the front during ihe late Boer war. The reception given him on his return to the old boro’ was one of the heartiest accorded to those who went out to South .-Africa from’ Ciilheroe. The bride has been an indefatigable Sunday school worker and her removal to another •Sphere will be keenly felt at St. Mary’s. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell have the best wishes of numerous friends in Clitheroe.


.Active opposition to the .asylum scheme


at Whalley may be .said to have died a natural death with the withdrawal of theai>- peal to (Juarler .Se.ssioiis against the pro­ posed diversion of the footpath. How un­ expectedly matters crop up sometimes to divert the whole course of things! Not until the site was .selected was it known that a footpath existed and yet this was made the weapon with which the opponents of AVhalley’s iirosjiective asylum fought those who favoured the proposal. However, the hatchet is now buried— or ought to lie— and not for the world would I be the one to resurrect it.


- I must commend the foresight displayed bV' the District Education: Authority, in re-


Quite a number of Clitheronians were


beautifully- hoaxed last Sunday afternoon at Brungerley. The announcement was made in all seriousness that among a jiarty of cyclists was the well known swimmer, David Billington, who intended entering the water at the bathing houses and giving an exhibi­ tion of ills prowess. .-Accordingly a large number of men and boy s made their «ay to the river bank, and sure enough a .swimmer appeared on the scene and swam t>> the bridge and back again in such convincing style that the delighted onlookers imagined thev had witnessed an exhibition by the one and' only Billington. -As a matter of fact ' they hail seen a David display his talents but not the boy champion, who at that time was nursing an illness in his native town of Bacup. To set the matter at rest here is an extract from a letter received from an indisput.'ilile source in Bacup : “ Billington never left here on Sunday. He has had to give up two or three engagements owing to illness and has been ordered not to go into the water until the end of this week.”


The question remains, who was this devotee to the natatorial art so successfully


palmed off as the young champion ? I ani informed on reliable authority that it was D.ivid Morris, of the Blackburn iiolo team. Only a young man, the Blackburnian has a reputation in tlie swimming world, and amongst other prizes of wliicli he is the proud possessor, is a first secured at Burn­ ley last year in a contest open to all Eng­ land. Morris, it is said, secured the second in a similar contest at .Accrington. From tlie bathing tent, to the wood, the bank was lined two or three deep, and everybody was highly interested in the exhibition of the man from Blackburn, though no doubt at­ tention was all the greater because the crowd thought Billington was the artiste.


Whatever opinion the late Medical Officer


for the Clitheroe Rural District Council may hold concerning ; the water supply at Chipping it is quite, apparent:, the ■ villagers

asked to complete the arrangements as e.yly’ as po.ssible and tenders arc being invited


for building. Another mucli needed improvement would


be the displacement of. that narrow neck in Green.acrc-slreel by a roadway consistent with the remainder of the thoroughfare. Probablv the Council h.ave not been un­ mindful‘of this awkward strip but, of course evervthiiig cannot be accomplished at once and the town must be able to afford it be­ fore launching out into e.xpensive schemes. .-Anyhow the time has arrived for a consul- talion, the outcome of which it is to be hoped will be the removal of an eyesore and a danger.


The enormous waste of water in tlie town


disclosed by the meter at the reservoir, has eviflenlly not been discovered a moment too soon. Thai nearly 50 per cent of the daily- supply should be running away without check, as one gathers is the case from the Surveyor’s reiiort, is simply appalling at a season when dry weather may be daily e.v- pected and indeed when the springs arc already ceasing to yield their normal siip- ply.


Mr. Robert Barrett, gas manager, has


prepared a statement concerning his depart­ ment for the year ending March 25th last. -Ml the details that go to make uj) a gas manager's routine are collaborated .and ar­ ranged ill ]>roper order. Personally I don’t dabble in figures but Mr. Barrett’s bundle of statistics w ill make a handy reference for the members of the Town Council,


appointing Mr. R. C. Assheton as their chairman Very fortunate are they in hav ­ ing Mr. Assheton to preside over ^ their deliberations. Nobody in the district has a better insight or a longer e\perience o


County Council affairs than his guidance the authority will


6Ct far .astrav, while many a purposeless dis


cussion must be prevented '^y he can bring to bear on most mat e s. 1 he marvel is that Mr. Assheton finds time enough to devote to the multifarioiw duties cbnnected with the numerous offices he holds. But none seem to be neglected and, lha t is more to Mr. Assheton’s sat.sfac on the people themselves .as well as their representatives appreciate his serutes.

It is the last straw that breaks the c.imel’s increase

The oTputy Clerk (Mr. R. E. Stanton)


read two letter from Lord Balcarres, M.P., acknowledging communications


wliich he had received from the Board. In his first letter Lord Balcarres said he trusted the Board’s memorials might prove acceptable to the Government. In the second letter his lordship stated that he quite recognised the position, and Parliament fully realised that the bill was unacceptable to many influential bodies. He trusted the bill might be dropped; in fact, he thought it w-ould


The last sentence is significant. Is Lord Balcarres in the know that he thus stakes his reputation by assuming the role of pro­


phet ? Sometime last week tlie white rook which


has .attracted so much attention in the Castle grounds mysteriously disappeared and w-;is not seen again until it as suddenly- returned. In the meantime the death of so rare a specimen was naturally- presumed and a paragraph to that effect appeared in the ‘Telegraph,” only to be contradicted in the following terms by “Jim Crow;”


The White Rook! “ Clitheroe has lost its white rook. ’


Dear, Sir, it ravther med ma laff, I’o read last n'eel in I’ “ Telegraph ’’ That awr strange freak, the snow-white

.'Aw’d be obliged if yo’ll refute That at it some one’s bed a shoot;


Th’ white rook’s alive, and me directs To send ta y o its best respects!


Usher’s return to Ifaslingdeii for next


season is a blow to the Whalley dub. who have in him the best professional in the Ribblesd;ile League. His deiiarture will be regretted because lie had done so mudi to bring the team back to its prisiiite Indeed he had recovered the ’-ashe.s” for W'hallev. Not a .Antipodean “ashes," of course,"but the honour that won the team the cup for the third or fourtli time. .Any­ how-, whether at Whalley or Haslingden cricket enthusiasts will wish Jack Lsher luck. “ M.ay his hand never lose its cunning.’’


The fact that spinners are to begin work­


ing more hours a week may be taken as a welcome sign of the limes in the cotton trade. Although at the meeting of the General Conunittee of the Federation many members considered tliat the present ar­ rangement .should be continued, it was de­ cided to recommend to the mass meeting that seven and a half hours should be added, without equivalents, by slopping Saturd.ays and not resuming until Iialf-past eight on Mondays, with the proviso that the condition of the trade should be care­ fully watched, and tliat, if thought neces­ sary, a return to the original arrangement 40 hours i>er wec’ic— should be recom-


meniled. Mr. Macara expressed tlie opinion that if they would hold out only a short lime longer the victory would be complete. On no account should the action of the dis­ loyalists be made the excuse for breaking down a movement which so far had averted disaster.


These are limes of Sunday School anni­


versaries. On Sunday the Clitheroe Bap­ tists have their turn when the services will be held in the Church at Shaw Bridge, not at the Public Hall as in former years. The Rev. J. Barton Clarke, of Burnley, is the preacher. Low Moor Church also cele­ brates its .anniversary with the Rev. F. M. Brodie, of Coventry, as preacher. By w.ay of an outdoor attraction on Sunday after­ noon the Borough Band give a concert on llie cricket field, when, if the weather be


fine there will no doubt be a large attend­ ance.

On his return in 1903 Usher again lirought fortune tvith him and lie may easily leave his present club League diampions once again. .An ap plication was made last w eek on behalf of Usher to the L.ancasliire League Committe. waicb body, however, tacitly agreed to take no action either w.ay, and resolved that the application should lie on the table Usher was pro for Hasliugden in seasoa 1900, 1901, and 1902, prior to which he hij been with AVhalley.

In the cuursecf season 1902 Haslingden signed him ft-i 1503 on enhanced terms, but in .August u‘ 1902 he. owing to certain difficulties whid had arisen, asked to be released, and this was granted.

REV. JOHN JAMESON .AT CLITHEROE.


A N.-ATION AATTHOUr BACKBONE. AA’ednesday and Thursday were the occa­


sion of the return visit of the Rev. John Jameson to the Congregalioiial Church. On AVednesday afternoon Mr. Jameson preached a sermon and in the evening delixered a lecture on “The Romance of Evangelism.’’ The R.CV. AV. Murray presided over a mod­ erate attendance. The lecturer at the outset asked what


was evangelism and whence came it? Evan­ gelism was for those in iieril and need and sprang from the fact that humanity had had an ugly twist that man was born in sin and evangelism came that it miglu give direction to the people to escajic .sin and its iieril. He then went on to give stirring illustrations of the force of evangelism in saving i>eoplc. He explained that the great line of work was amongst the women. It was an awful fact that there were more drunken women in England to-day than in any other country. They were already deploring the f.act lliat England had lost its backbone. They could not look at the trend of affairs w ith­ out seeing that England had reached a jelly-fish backboneless, condition as a ii;i- lion, and God help them if tlie women of England were to be cursed by the effects of alcoholic drink, 'I'o s;ive the women, therefore, w-as a very great work, and also a very difficult one. hi conclusion the si>e.aker s.aid that when England w.as thor­ oughly evangelised all the world would be brought to Christ. There was a large congregation last even­


ing when the Rev. J. Jame.son g.ave liis lecture on “ Billy Brav, the Cornish Miner." The Mayor (Councillor Hardacre) presided From beginning to end the lecturer kept his audience highly interested by his racy and humorous anecdotes connected with the life


of the well knoAvn Cornish m iner. ' ill.ige of SAWLEY.
