NOTES BY THE WAY. The question of the moment— a cottage
hospital for Clitheroe. Not exactly new, the matter has been simmering a long time; it only required somebody with courage enough to poke the fire to m.ike it boil. Dr. Orme has rendered a public service by doing this and I can assure hhn he will not be thought presemptuous. Clitheroe is assuredly in need of local hospital accom modation and the want affords a splendid opportunity for somebody with money and influence to earn immortal fame. If Clitheroe is to have a cottage hospital it must be by voluntary effort. Who will give
the project a start? The word “ progress ” is the motto at the
premises of the Primrose Ring Mill, Ltd., where as fast as possible machinery is being installed and made ready for motion. One or two rooms are about completed and it may be mentioned that one room in par ticular will be as well lig'ited as any in Lancashire- Not only so ^’"t when arti ficial
illumin.ation is needc ' e want will be supplied by electricity airuughout, the Ring Mill therefore being ithe first electri cally lighted mill in Clitheroe.
The elderly jieople of the town are again
to share in the bounty of the Mayoress. On January 3rd residents of 60 years of age and upwards will be invited by Mrs. Whipp to what has become almost an annual treat
in the Public Hall. Always pleased to hear of the success of RS
Clitheroiiians it is this week my pleasure to offer congratulations to Mr. Robert Daw son, of Cape Town, South Alrica, son of Mr. J. Hammond Dawson, of Chatburn- road, on his promotion. Mr. Dawson has for some time held an appointment with the African Homes Trust Company at Cape Town, and I see from a copy of the “ Cape Argus ” that there
w.as an interesting ceremony the other day taken part in by the outside staff on'the occasion of his de- p.'irtnre for Port EIi:iabeth, where he is to take up his new duties. Mr. Jacobs, presi dent of the Agents Fund, presented to Mr. Dawson a fine gold watch with a suitable inscription as a small token of good-fel lowship from fellow-workers, and all round there were hearty wishes for succe^ in his new apiX3intnient. Mr. Dawson, in a few suitable words, returned thanks for the gift, saying that it would always remind him of the pleasant associations he had had in C:i|)e Town. During the recent hostilitic, with the Boers Mr. Dawson showed a fine sense (,f iris devotion to the old country by volunteering .and serving wfth the Cape Colony Cycling Scouts.
The matter of an additional day’s holiday
for the textile workers has this week been' advanced a step further. As I stated last week the decision of the workers was for the recognition of New VeaFs Day as a liulid.ay, as was the case prior to the observ ance of the full week in August. On Mon day a dcpulation pul the request before the local masters, and the receplion, 1 hear,
w.as far from unf.avoiirable. The matter
w.as thoroughlv discussed, and eventually it was left open 'to see the result of the application of the Blackburn textile workers for the ob servation of Whit-Tuesday, on the declara> tion of wliich a further meeting will be heiid. Late .as the matter has now been driven it is still hoped to participate in the holiday in January next.
Here is another matter of considerable
moment to weavers. Following on a strong agitation I see the Great Harwood irades Council are inviting the Overlookersf Society to discuss the question of the abo lition of the slate system. A strong attempt is to be made to abolish the system.
.-And so the inmates of the Clitheroe
AVorkhuuse are to have the Christmas beer though the opponents of this annual pauper’s lu.\ury seem to be gaining ground by degrees. The late Mr. Trappes used to say he liked to see the paupers happy at least once a year— off heer— while there are other who think they can be quite as happy without it. While beer is dangerous to some it is harmless to others and such being the way of human nature there must always be beerites and anti-beerites, tliough some boards have granted the better of the argument to the abolitionists, recognising in addition to the duties of the Guardians the fact that there
w.as no occasion to prime the inmates with luxuries that a great many working men, who pay their way iji the world, cannot afford.
Honour has this week fallen on a Clith-
eronian in Mr. J. T. Worswick, draper and furrier of King William-street, Blackburn, by his inclusion in a batch of newly-created
m.agistrates. Born in Clitheroe, Blackburn has been the scene of his life's work. His parents followed him from one town to the other, and, being Wesleyans, attached them selves to New Row, where Mr. Worswick and hi.s brother have lately
perpetu.ated their memories in stained glass. Mr. Worswick finds in the honour conferred upon him the reward of industry and a life well spent. .
, AVhalley has more than'
p.issing
intere.st in the living of St. Nicholas, Newchurch-in- Rossendale, (vacant by the death of the Rev. J..W. Bennett) inasmuch as the Rev. R. Newman, vicar, is patron of the living. Mr. Newman has; offered it to the Rev.. J. S. Addison, vicar of St;i Martin’s, Potter,.
In the afternoon the Master decided to
draw the Sawley country. A hare was foun’d on the hill side opposite Swanside Bridge. She took hounds parallel with the line-to the Bridge on the GLsburne road. Here, he;ided by some boys, she turned right-handed across the line and ran Jo Mr. Wm. Robinson’s form at Gazegill, where she made a double and came down the ro:id side to Rimington Bridge. Here she ran hounds out of scent. About lour o’clock the Master took hounds home after a most enjoyable day, by many thought to be the day of the season so far. Falls were numerous, but excepting one or two shak ings no damage was done.
The Inter-County Committee on
Vagrancy, which.was composed of represen tatives of Boards of Guardi.ans in Lanca shire, Cheshire, Cumberland, AVestmorland and part of A’orkshire, (Clitheroe Union not being represented) met at the offices of the Chorlton Union, Manchester, on Friday afternoon last. The committee considered a series of resolutions, the first of which was that the “ conference is of c''inion''that the provision of farm and labour colonies under State control, or under the control of the guardains of a county, or of a combination of counties, for the more or less lengtliened detention of tramps, offers the best prospect of a favourable solution of the
que.stion, and desires the necessary legislation for the purpose.” Tlie opinion of .the meeting was in fa\'cinr of the resolution, which was car ried with only one dissentient.
The second resolution urged upon the
public the undesirability of giving indis criminate alms, as it tended to foster va grancy. This, it was remarked, raised a possibility of some system whereby they might be certain that wayfarers should have ample provision in the way of food as they moved on from place to place. A further resolution asked that the attention of boards should be drawn to the necessity for making some provision ifor a midday meal for the tramp -when leaving the casual ward. Eventually it was decided to refer consideration of the two resolutions, and reqtiest the secretary to ask the Local Gov ernment Board to inform them as to the conditions under which they would allow boards to give a midday meal to vagrants at the cost of the rates.
Commencing on Sunday the Vicar of St.
Mary’s intends to answer in the course of a series of addresses to men the arguments of Mr. Blatchford. During the interval of the addresses Mr. Wiigley wiU be pleased to receive questions on the previous dis course, to which he will endeavour to sup ply an answer. The subjects are: “ Why I believe' in God, Why I believe in Christ, Why; I believe in;mirades, ’Why I 'believe
newton, Leeds, who has not yet signified his acceptance. The living, by the way, is
of the value of £yo°- Another clerical item of interest: On
Saturday night parishioners and friends from all denominations attended a gathering to , honour the Rev. Canon Johnson, late Rural j Dean of Whalley, on his retirement after a continuous ministry in the parish at Clay- ton-le-Moors for a period extending over
20 years. Parents would do well to devote a little
attention to the particulars of County Coun cil scholarships and exhibitions given in an other column. There are, I find from the schedule, no fewer than 250 junior exhibi tions for children attending elementary schools, and 100 junior open exhibitions. Six hundred exhibitions are offered to stu dents intending to be pupil teachers, with free tuition and travelling expenses for two years. For secondary schools there are 40 senior exhibitions and 13 scholarships of great value, ten exhibitions and three scholarships for art (the latter worth £60 each for three years), and five and two respectively for music. Agriculture js specially catered for by ten junior and six senior e.xhibitions., and four junior and two senior scholarships. Cotton subjects tvill have a separate schedule, to be publisncd later, and there are special subjects for
women. The member.s of the Wesley Reading
Room have marked respect for the memory of a departed member and worker. On Sundav morning no fewer than twenty-five members sat in the front pews in the chapel in respect for the late Mr. J. E. Summers- gill, for several years a prominent member.
When increasing numbers of people failed
to find work, said Mr. D. J. Shackleton, in a speech the other day, the charitable doles and poor law efforts only caused them to fall ultimately into the ranks of the unemployable.
The Pendle Forest Hounds were at Rim-
ington on Saturday last, where a large field enjoyed an excellent day’s sport. -A. bad start was made when a hare was chopped in the Wind Mill field, and a long draw seemed probable, but tlie Master, under a hapjn' inspiration, drew the country along the hill side above Riminglon Station, where a hare, contrary to expectation, was quickly found wliich took hounds over the railway into the S.a.wley country, and he faced the hill opposite Rimington Station and took the field .at a rare pace to Sawley Grange, crossing the Gisbtirn road she set her mask for Dockber, but turning right-handed she left the Sawley covers on the left and held on to
Gi.sburne Coates, across the raiway again, she ran along the Gisburne road as far .as Dudlands, and here, after a real stirring gallop of 25 minutes she was lost; hounds richly deserved their hare, but at the same time such hares deserve to save their fur to give such a gallop another day.

The Rev. R, Newman, vicar of Whalley,
took as his subject, *■ Why is it wrong to gamble?’’ at the men’s meeting at the Par ish Church on Sunday, dealing chiefly with horse-racing.

OLD CLITHERONIAX
