C LITHEROE MEN IN TROUBLE. WANTED A B E T T E R BED.


At the Bolton-by-Bowland Police Court


oil Tuesday morning, before the Rev. Canon Wilson, John Westall, John Thomas Hall and John Cawley, all wellknown Clitheroe characters, were charged with stealing eight pheasants, value ;^3, from a pheasantry at Mytton, the property of Col. Aspinall,


sometime on Sunday. Evidence was given to justify a remand


/


till yesterday, (Thursday). Yesterday morning the men were again


before the Bench, composed of the Rev. Canon Wilson and Mr. A. C. Milne-Red-


head. Supt. Symonds stated that a letter had


been received that morning from the solicit­ ors in the case requesting a further remand


till Monday. Insp. Harrington said all the witnesses


were present, and it would be rather awk­ ward to have a further adjournment. Supt. Symonds: You can do no other,


your worships. The Chairman, announcing that pnson-


ers would be further remanded till Monday, was interrupted by Westall, tyho com­ plained of the cell accommodation, stating that all three of them had to sleep oty a bed 6ft. long and 2ft. 8 in. wide for three


nights. Insp. Hn.rrington snid they had done thejr , , .


best for the prisoners in the circumstances. Westall: But we should have a mattress


in prison, and we cannot get one here. In,sp. Harrington said there was not suffi­


cient accommodation for the prisoners. They were accordingly remanded to


Preston. WADDINGTON.


CHAPLAIN’S WAR EXPERIENC ES. The Rev. T. H. Wainman, of Blackpool,


thrilled a large audience at the Wadding- ton Wesleyan School on luesday evening with an account of his experiences as Chap­ lain with H.M. Troops under General Sir Redvers Bullerat Splon Kop, Vaal Rruntz, Monte Christo, Pieters Hill and the relief of Ladysmith. Coun. W. S. Weeks, Clith­


eroe, presided. Mr. Wainman has been engaged in mis­


sionary work in the Transvaal for about twenty years. Of his appointment as chap­ lain and the troubles he got into on account


''A: ■'ll


of his ill-fitting suit of khaki and his know­ ledge of the Dutch tongue, Mr. Wainimui had several humorous stories to tell.' In­ cidentally he mentioned the fact that he acted as chaplain to General Warren s troops in 1884. Going up country to join General Bullers force, hci arrived at Chieveley at the close of the Colenso battle and first among the wounded he saw brought off the ambulance irain was Litai- tenant Roberts, V.C., only son of Lord Roberts, who had been mortally wounded whiFst trying to recover Colonel Longs abandoned guns. The wounded presented


a pitiable sight and one was stunned with the barbarity of warfare. He was attached to the Second Brigade. Of the march^to Springfontein and the difficulties of getting the waggons through swollen rivers and half-dry turf, Mr. Wainman had many inci­ dents to relate. The terrible sacrifice of


life at Spion Kop was a stirring story and showed the splendid bravery of the British infantry. The brave example of the offi­ cers too, was commented on, the lecturer stating that many a gallant officer ga\-e his


life to serve his men. Mr. Wainman had nothing but praise for


our soldiers who, he said, deserved better treatment at our hands than they sometimes received. The entrenchment and fortifi­


cations on the mountains, and kopjes was wonderfully conceived, and in this work the Boers "had the assistance of military experts and engineers from Germany and other countries.


GRINDLETON. ACCIDENT IN THE BROW. An accident which might have been at­


tended with more serious results occurred in the steep brow entering the village last Saturday. A horse attached to a heavily laden cart belonging to Mr. Henry Smal­ ley, Whitehall Farm, and in charge of his son, was proceeding down the steep gradient when the horse slipped and fell. Consider­ able ihfficulty was experienced in liberating the animal which, fortunately, was little the worse, and was yoked again and proceeded


on its journey. WORKPEOPLE’S PRESENTATION.


A social gathering of the workijeople of


Greendale Mill was held at the Duke ol York Hotel on Saturday evening last, the object of which was to make a presentation to Mr. James Aspden on his severance from the mill as overlooker, in which capacity he


has acted for several years, during which he has gained the high esteem and respect ol the operatives. Upwards of fifty wero present and a sumptuous spread catered lor


by Mrs. Fell, was partaken of. Afterwards Mr. David Martin was invited to act as chairman and made a few appropriate re- marks. Mr. Tom Scott, in the name of


1 the donors, expressed his great pleasure in 1 handing to Mr. Aspden the gifts, consislmg of a silver mounted cherry-wood walkmg stick, gold pm and a pipe. Un the stick was the following engraved inscription: “ Presented to Air. J ames Aspden, over­ looked, by the workpeople ot Greendale Mill. April ist, 1905.” Air. Aspden e.x- pressed his appreciation of the gifts and heartily thanked all who had contributed to the testimonial. The rest of the even­ ing was given up to songs and recitals. On dispersing thanks were heartily accorded to Mr. and Mrs. Fell and the chairman, and the singing of “ He’s a jolly good fel­ low,” and “ Auld Lync Syne,” termmated


the happy proceeding^. SCHOOL SERAIONS.


hi the Parish Church on Sunday last by the Vicar (Rev. A. L . Greig).


The annual school sermons were preached In the


morning his subject was based on die liiid- ing of the child Aloses. The Vicar pomled out that the intellectual training was re­ ceived at the court of Pharaoh and the moral culture from his own mother who was a Hebrew. That training which leaves any part of the youthful nature uiicared lor must be defective. Patience, love, hope, were necessary elements in the Lruinmg ot a child’s Physical culture, coupled with men­ tal training, were good so lar as they went but that education was defective which left the moral atid spiritual nature untouched. Speaking for the clergy he gave this as his conviction that they were wishful for the highest possible intellectual culture


^


given ill their schools, coupled with a high moral tone, and no education was wortli) of the name which fell below that standard. The afternoon discourse, which was based


on the words “ Peace bo to this house, dealt with home life in its varied forms, the duty of husbands to wives and vice versa, and the place fathers and mothers were expected by the law of God to occupy m relation to the training of their children. The collections, though satisfactory, were much below usual, doubtless accounted tor


by the new education rate. - *A * -

to block out betting news from newspaiiers


in the public newsroom. Councillor Slinger thought they ought to


be consistent, and block out all other fornis of gambling, including Yankee rails,


fulurep, etc. Another member said there were many


gentlemen in Accrington pmbling m various things, from cotton future to the


“ gilt-edged securities of Timbuctow. I hey should all be served alikei.


In the matters of the


compounds (or barracks) he repeated that England did all she could—and a great deal more than any other nation would have done—to make the refugees comfort.able,


and to shelter them from danger. The usual votes of thanks were passed at


the close.


P A S S I V E E E S I S T E E S A T S E T T L E .


At the Settle Police Court on Tuesday,


John Harger and Charles Lowcock, both well known business men residing in Settle, appeared to answer summonses for not pay­ ing the education portion of the poor rate. The amounts were 6s. and 13s. 4d. respet> tively. Mr. Lowcock, who said he had paid rates for over thirty years, objected to pay the education rate on the ground that it helped to teach religious doctrines in


which he did not believe. The Chairman: As you have aired your


Grievance I think I had better call your at­ tention to the fact that we are here to ad­ minister the law and if you have anjRhing to say in reference to any irregulanty we


will be pleased to listen to you. Mr. Lowcock: I quite understand your


position, sir, and. I have nothing further to


’ The Chairman somewhat curtly remarked that they could not alter the law, and dis­ tress warrants were issued in both cases.


^'^Mr. Harger protested against paying rates for something over which the public had not popular control.


“ GOSPEL OF IRON.”


CANON SCOTT HOLLAND ON THE HORRORS OF EVOEUTTON.


Preaching at the Blackburn Parisli


Church, to men only, on Sunday afteniooii, on the subject of “ To-morrow,” Canon Scott Holland said the characteristic which distinguished between civilisation and savagery was thought for the morrow. To-day, as in many a dark hour before,


a swarm of voices was heard trying to per­ suade men that for the social work of the day, and for the destiny of labour, God and the soul and the problems of eternity could


be left out of account. A true and tried friend of labour had


recently joined that choruSj and bade men trust in evolution. Ho (the preacher) linked them to realise what the gospel ot evolution would do for them. The pro­ cess was infinitely slow, lengtliening out beyond all human imagination, reaching forward into a future! so! vast as to be al­ most indistinct. Evolution used up genera­ tions of men and women wholesale to effect one little gradual step.


It worked hi huge


cycles and .swept up nations, empires, and civilisation in its measureless rhythm. What did the man and his wife and babes matter in such a mighty movement. Whole gen­ erations might perish in an interlude merely as material for an experiment which failcld. Evolution was a gospel of iron.


It would


be found that the champions of Labour who had most heart and cokirage to win for the workers true freedom were men who had a firm grip of Him thav could not fail


them. AT , TH E “Times” Office.
