The interment took ph'ice at Grmdleton U.M.F.C on Wed­ nesday afternoon, when the last sad rites were performed by the Rev. J , Billington, assj^sted by the Rev.

The glorious weather last week-end


brought some thousands of visitors into the neighbourhood, aud refreshment house l;ecpcrs must have reaped a rich harvest The resources of Wlntlley, Mylton, Brun- geiley. tVaddiugtoii ;ind Downham were


taxed to the uttermost, aud it is questionable whether “ Ihe call of the eouutrv ’’ was ever so largely respouiled to by visitors to this dis­ trict at any previous Eastertide. The chief I'laces of interest iu the locality were visited by many, while others preferred to saunter in the liine.s and fields. Brnngerley almost resembled a fair ground and boating was exceedingly popular.


Pcudle Hill also leinpled some thuu.<ands


from Burnley district to climb its slopes, and those who reached the “ PiigEnd” on l*’riday and Saturday were lewarded witli inagniliceut panoramic views, which took in the Blackpool Tower. A foolish custom among some people is t.ii set stones rolling down the hill. One of those, on E'riday, struck the left arm of a young man from INelsou, breaking it iu two places. A novel feature during the holiday was


the conveyance of visitors by motor char-a banc between Biuiigerlev, Clitlicrce and Whalley.


A Mauchestor contemporary says that '


like Mr. Hilaro Belloc, Charles Kingsley, and other braimvorkers. Dr. Garnett was not afraid of good beer. Every working day he lunched at Ian hotel in Tottenham Court road on steak, with “chip" potatoes, bread, butter and cheese, washed down with a pint of ale. His lunch never var­ ied, save when, occasionally, he called for an extra half-pint.


The death has occurred of Mrs. Hol-


gate, Clover Cottage. Sawley, and of Mr. JiMues Hall, Woone Lane, who for many years was employed as e.arter by Mr. J. Eord, slater and plasterer.

The National Union of Teachers have, by


a large majority, approved the principles of the Education Bill of IflOli under which all public elementary schools, their teachers, aud managers are to be brought under com­ plete popular control, and under which creed leisls for teachers are to he abolished. Mr. Kawchtle, of Wlnilley, took part iu


the discussion, and .speaking agaiust the resolution, warned Christian teachers that this was a time above all others when they should combine, so as to make it impossible for a teacher who, f-r instance, denied the Divinity uf Christ lo inllueiiee or interfere with the religious ihuuglils of llio children, if religious tests were abolished the iutro- duetion ijf siieh teacheis would he possible, not here aud there, but everywhere As a parent lie could not ...onteui- plate a posiUou like that with vquanimily. He asked the teaeliers to favour a eoiirse that would S'.cure Cliiisiian teachers for the children, as .listimt from men aud women who would llau’.it their inlidtliiy iu ilie eliildren’s faces.

TJie late Dr. Richard Garnett had many amusing stories about the qu^-r r^earches ami oikl requests aud inquiries of unf^_


iliar visLtf.rs to the great lection. 'One may be quoted as 1WP tmtioii of his readiness and curious abili y to help all (.xmiers. He told t te story ^


an interviewer, as follows:— I


he said ■•one lady who .‘^ame ewkerv txxik with a oertam plate pr^xed


illustrating a certain anetlwd She \v:is wamo I in a dream that *‘ • r um* to the Ht^ading-room of the British


Museum ste- would find it- She came and' siKike to me about it, and, c u " ^ > .■iiough. I Tememtered a


which h.ad belonged to it and there wits the identical plate.__ She coined it, and went away rejoicing.


- AGALN'Sr • • I'i.ME CRIBHLNG.” The qiiaricrly meeting of the Clithcr jC


AVeavers', \\'iiiiers', and Warjxirs’ Ass.JC- iatlon was 1'ch.l in fho W Stivers’ Insdiuie, last night, when Mr- W. H. tieedall piu- sided over a moderate altendanco. The .Secretary (Mr. A. H. Cotlam) stal­


ed that trade during the quarter had iiseii practically inirmal, and there was noth'.ug of huportaiice- iu the way of disputes to report. .Some .'!10 sorts had been calcul­ ated which, with few exceptions, were found to be correct; the c.xcepUons were chiefly cferical errors and there had lx.-eii no dilfi- ciilly in having them set right, and the .sramlard list was ailhered to in the town


generally. With regard lo the (luestiou of improved


sanitary arrangements at certain mills which was raised at the last meeting, this subject had receive] the atteutiou both -of the Committee ami the T'rades’ Council, and was .still under c<.iusideratiou. It had Ixieii reported to them that some ol these grievaucus h.id been remodied and im- proveineiits were alxmt lo l.>e made at other places as well a.s artificial lighting provided liefore the next winter, su ih.at progress could he reported in that respecl-


.Advance iu Wages. Oil the first pay ikiy iu .May, the opera­


tives would lie entitled to a further advance of 21 per cent, in wages. This would en­ tail the re-calculation of a great mimljer of sorts, but however much extra work il eiietailed it was much more pleasant to recalculate for an adr.inee than for a re­ duction, and he dtsiresl to have the a.ssist- aiice of the repre.sentatives and others at the mills in bringing any new sorts for cal­ culation as early as possible. When they receivod this additional increase the uni­ form list would he iiai'l throiigliout Lan­ cashire for the lir.st time since the great strike of 1878. There would still be a dilTcreuce between Clitheroe and other towns, hut that matter wtis not rqxj for discussion; still, tJiey had retison to con­ gratulate themselves on the fact that ihey had been able to get b.aek tho prices paid prior to 1878. It was gratifying to know that the membership w.as slowiy hut stead­ ily increasing, and when the advance had teen paid on ->.ay l.th, he thought they should reneiv their efforts in canvassing and inducing others outside the pale of the .Society to come in and assist in linking up their forces- It might sound harsh, but it was not Loir to let any individual alone who, while receii-ing the benefits of the organisation, was not prepared to contri­ bute to the funds of the organisation; and those who worked side by side with non- members should mtike their jwsition a bit uncomfortable, bec.iu.se they h.id no right to hold out their hands for the incre.ise which had been gained by- the members of the associ.ition, and towards which they had done nothing. Mr. Cottam laid great emphasis on- the


attitude of the operatives’ officials against “time cribbing.” Quite recently notices had been posted not only' at the entnimtes to the mills but, in some casfe, on every loom prohibiting we.aiers from working


■ overtime. Those who ignored these warn­ ings .assumed Ihe responsibility in the event of detection bv the factory inspector. As a result of the complaints made to and the


action taken by Inspectors, these notices had been issued at the msligalioii of the Eiiqiloyers' Association throwing the onus (HI iliemselves on to the operatives. The Amalgamation had the matter in hand and iiUenUed to take very drastic steps, if necessary, in order to enforce the notice issued, either by better insiiectorship or in other ways.


“Driving" had doubtless


had someiliing lo do with time criljbing, hut it was also true that weavers worked ill oiipositioii 10 each other, and there were those who worked not only every pick the loom might put in but pulled off their cuts aiul picked them and swept the looms during the time allowed lor hreakfase aiul dinner, and worked before the engine started and after it stopped- 'i'he employ­ ers told (lieni not lo do that, and their own ollicials told them also, though he was hound to anmit the Act uid uot apply lo men.—(A voice: It should do).—It applied lo alb women aivj young persons under 18 years of age, and he was not afraid to tell the members that as far as the Com- mitice were concerr.eiJ if weaieis were dctenniii'-'d to cuuiuenancc time cribbing they were equally determined to do all they coui.'l lo assist the imspectors aud to sum­ mon the weavers in accordance with die law of the land under the Eactory Act. It was to be regretted that so many, men set the example. He knew some such men who clamoured for an eight hours’ bill, yet ten hours was not sufhciciit for them. Mr. L'ottam gave some mtere.sliug statis­


tics siKjwiug the tremendous growiu of the cotton trade, and .dealing widi exports, the price ol raw cotton, aud the good prospects Iroiu a nuicii larger visible supply than last yvar. He did not consider that tl-.ere was ■iny c.iiise fur alarm Irom the application to;- increased wages by llie spinners. ,is it was liighly |>n>hable tins would he amic­ ably settled-


• Jiicstioned as lo steaming in weaving


sheds, .Mr. Cotlam nenied that everybody was dissalislicd witli steaming: if they were it would nut te' such a difficult mat­ ter to deal with. Nothing had as yet been done, hut the Central Commitlee were taking expert evidence for the iiuioductioii of a hill at some future lime. The report was tvlopted. •M


r. C'oltam afterwards gave his report


.IS deputy to the Labour Represenlaucjn C'onfeieiice, which was very interesting. Out of 17 candidates put forward by lire L.R.C. at llie recent election, 211 were re­ turned, all 1 oil the question of linance, r.iived at the Conference, the Executive will ne.xt voar recommend air increased lev': (if one iteimy per memljer.

It was stated to have teen the custom from time immemorial to appoint a warden for Twiston, and eventually Mr, Herbert Hart­ ley was elected. Messrs. A- W. Hartley aud J. Smithies


"ere elected representatives to the Ruri- Decanal Conference. On the motion of Mr. J- Parker, a cor­

Afr. PrcKrtor had suggested repairing the .sounding haird in the Church, and hear­ ing the expen.se if the Vestry would allow him. Tiiie Vicar said Mr- Assheton’s visw of the sounding board was that it was like the House of Tmrds—it ought to he endesl or mended.

It had been (-iisiomary. he Irelieved, to give a resume of tile work tliat liad lx,*en acconiplislied iu the parish during the ye.u, but that could not be given- It had been an eventful year llirongh the great sorrow wliich liad overtaken the parish through tlio death of Airs. Railton, and in adilition to his Ite- reavemement llie Rector liad had mncli anxiety and iianl work tlirougli the renov­ ation of tire Cliurch.

were again nominated as RectoFs warden and sitleman respectively; and Air. H. Emlilev and Afr. W. Jackson were re-elected jK'oples' warden and sidesman- The hope was expressed that the Church

Perliups the most wonderful clock ever


made is that whicli is now working at •Schenectady. It was made by a w.atch- maker n.amed J. Steiner, and has never I teen wmuid up.


It was started by


.Steiner giving the pendulum a swing, .wcl will continue to go. says be, until "the magnets lose their m.agnetisra.’’ The works consists of only three wheels. It is said that - the clock is not affected by jar or yibr.ation., and keeps perfect time, the swing of the pendulum being regulated to beat seconds-


WEEK-END NATURE NOTES. It is very ploasant on a sunny day to


watch the swallows and sand-martins gracefully skimming about over the surface of the water; this kind of enjoyment is now possible as these birds have come amongst up again. Other summer migrants noted last week-aid were the willow- wren, yellow wagtail, sand nvirlin, whitethroat, redshank, swallow, and possibly there were others 1 did not see or hear. One of the prettiest sights in the fences


at present is the hedge sparrow sitting on ils pale blue eggs. The nest is compact and well made, and neatly-lined with hair. .All the early nests have not been robbed, as young birds are to he seen in iheTiest oC thrush, blackbird, aud dipper. Ihe sycamore, horse chesimif, aud wliite


poplar are now in leaf. Of trees in llowor the most notice.ible is the wild cherry or h'eau with its wealth of rather large snow white blossoms- Other trees in llower are ash, white birch aud black, and Camidiau poplars, so far as 1 know there is oiilv one specimen each of these poplars iu the immediate neighbourhood. The delicate white flowers of the wood


sorrel, with their rich purple veiniiigs, are somewhat plentiful on dyke sides, aud the white llowers of the greater s’titcluvort offer a contrast to those of the red campion. The wild stn.iwherry is .llso in llower; it
