Mr. j . Waikden, C.C., \dce-chairman of


tile r..mcashire and Cheshire Hand of Hope Union, has Ijeen sjieaking on that most desirable form of securing sobriety by means of dcmonslr.iting in dliy schools the elTect.s ol alcohol. He says that for some time many ililfieiilties have Ixten placed in the w.iy of tlte Union. They have had insiiectors arrayed against them, and also m their side, Init after a grekit struggle they


find that instead of Iiindering this desirable work the Hoard of Education intend to hcl]i ihcny all they c.an.

aminations, held in December, have been announced. The following are the success­ ful candidates at the Clitheroe centre:

Notwilhstiinding the many excellent


qualifications of the Member for the Clilh­ eroe Division, Mr. Shaekleton, we did not think he would be selected as Leader of the Labour Party in the House. Mr. Keir Hardie, who was made the bead, will be bolder and more dashing in attack and inish but it is doubtful whether he will be as wise and cautious as the deputy chairman. • *

The choice of organist at the Parish


Church has fallen upon the gentleman who presided at the organ last Sunday, Mr. William Baxter, F.R.C.O, of the Kings- bridge Parish Church, Devonshire. His performance on the organ hi.st Sunday, especially at the recital after the evening service, won for him golden opinions. .A largo congreg.ation, inchiding many musical critics, had the pleasure to hear him and from the pronouncement of many of these, there is little doubt but that the Parish Clnireh has secured a man of exceptional ability, both as an organist, musician and tutor. So well satisfied were the church authorities that they oiVered Mr. Baxter the |iositiouou Sunday evening and he wrote his acceptance on Tuesday. He will probably lake up the duties in about two nionllis time.


Under the same niaiiiigeinent ;is the


Besses o’ tii' Birn’.s tour, concerts will be given in the Public iiall on Siiluidav and Sunday, parlicniars of wliicli will be found in another column. The artistes include Miss Emily Gleobnrv, Mr. Geo. F. Powell, Air. James Howell, and Mr. Tielvin Wynne. The I'hieCattriiclii'n, however, is the visit of Mr. Arthur Coi'ke. the emineut pianist. The London and provincial pre.ss unanimously appraise bis plnying and describe liiin as “ a pianist of phenomenal powers.’" Seats fur the concert may be reserved at the .Advertiser OUice.

the cost of elementary education, apart from buildings, slioiild be furnished to the local ainliorilies from ilie N.ational E.xchcqtier, aiul that the contributions slionid lie supplied quarterly.”


Coimcilior Green contended that this


was only shifting the Inirden off one shoidiJer on to tlie other, and lie said the Working in.m was l:ixed out of all propor­ tion in conqiarison with tlie other classes through iiiilirect tiLxation. Tile Town Clerk suggested that they


should wait and see what the new Educa­ tion Bill was to Be. .Alderman .Xorcross: Or wait for the


new Bnilget. -Alderman Cowgill said whatever the new


bill was to be, a certain amount of money would have to be raised in the shape of rents for voluntary scliuols, and he tlionght tluT ongiil to gel as much out of the Im­ perial Exchequer to relieve local rates.—• -A motion nioM'd liy .Alderman Cowgill, anti seconded by Councillor .Sugar was pasA'd i/i sn|)|)*-irl of the resolution.

The Corpor­ ation have already .seeiireil provisional powers for Clilheroe, and tliev decided to request .Air. .Shackleton to t.iiqiose the meas­ ure and with it private monojxily. Coinieiliur Hardaere thought the Cor­

Plans Were passed subject to certain


conditions for an office at the Primrose Ring .S|>inning Co's, mill; and for .a lock-up shop in Waterloo for Mr. H. Taylor- The .Surveyor was authorised to prepare


an estimate of the cost of paving AVoone Lane from Afietoria .Street to the new di­


verted roail at Primrose. At the request of Councillor Parkinson


on Behalf of himself and Mr. AVarburton. permission was given, at their own expense to form, level, pitch and pave the south­ east iiortion of back AAteone lane (adjoining tlie site of the proposed new we.aving shed) placing thereon the neces.sary street grates, to be done to the satisfaction- of the Sur­


veyor. Various improvumec.ts are being carried

bad state of ilie bigliway from the top of Brownlow Street to Little .Aloor, ami tsked wbo was res[ionsible fur the inain- lenanee of this road. He wametl it to be pnbliely known that the Coriioralion were not resixiiisible. The Mayor said that when he ucciipiud

Dear Mr. Editor, AA'ill you allow me a little space in your


colmiins to vent what is to many besides myself a real grievance. On Wednesday last, I went to the Public Hall to hear the Besses o’ th’ Barn band, and was charmed with the performance. But what disgusted both myself and others was the -wholesale striking ot matches, aud smoking in the room, which was literally filled with smoke. Now, Mr. Editor, I contend that this is not fair. It was not only an intolerable nuisance to many but a positive danger. AVith the man who enjoys his weed I have no quarrel whatever, but surely there is a time for everything, and this was neither the time nor place for a smoke. AA'hat with prohibitive notices all round the room, and a policeman in the room it did seem a little bit " oil.” Thanking you for your courtesy, I beg to subscribe myself—

The “ Daily Telegraph” says:—^ “.The


friends of Lord Ribblesdale,—he has no enemies—will learn with satisfaction that he has been offered and has accepted the


duties of Government AA'hip in the House of Lords. Lord Ribhlesdale Kas acted as “whip” on


many a fine hunting day, and Master as well, and has been a familiar figure for several years past with the Pendle Foregt and other packs in the Gisburn district.


The various official positions he has filled include those of Lord-in-AAthiting to the late Queen, 1880-1885, and Master of Buckhounds, 1892-1895.
