ma Hniuuuij oirxiia, .U.I..C, anu 1Hjj EDUCATION BILL. HIS SOLUTION OF THE RELIGIOUS DIFFICULTY. Mr Samuel Smith, M.P., writing to the "Times" on the education controversy, makes a strong appeal for a compromise. Remarking that he will not be able to attend Parlianont during the autumn session, says The Govern- ment must now be aware that they have raised a hornet's nest around them. I have not seen more irritation in the country during my political life than has been provoked by their education policy. The case, I admit, is a very difficult one, aud I have no doubt that Mr Balfour believes that he is acting in fairness to all classes of the community. But he must either greatly modify this bill or withdraw it, otherwise we are doomed to a long period of distracting controversy. We are all agreed on the necessity of greatly improving the secular education of this country, but the intrusion of the theological element has almost swamped the education side of the question. Why can we not mitigate it by some common arrangement on which all Protestants could unite ? I believe that nine-tenths of the laity of the Church of England and the whole body of Nonconformists would be content to give the little children in elementary schools nothing but Bible teach- ing. They are persuaded that it contains all that young children under thirteen years of age require to learn in the day school. My long experience in Liverpool has taught me that not one parent in a thousand objects to such teaching. The whole difficulty has arisen from the semi-Romish teaching of a section of the Anglican clergy. They have sought to use the elementary schools to stamp out the principles of the Reformation. In doing so, they have provoked the intense jealousy of nine-tenths of the English people. If the moderate section of the Anglican clergy would ally themselves with the laity of the country they might devise a system of religious teaching to which no objec- tion would be taken by Nonconformists. Surely Churchmen and Dissenters alike might agree to postpone to a later age and leave to the churches the distinctive doctrines of the various sects. If such a system were adopted j religious teaching would become permanent in < the schools of our country. If it be not 1 adopted, I much fear that sectarian disputes will end in the entire exclusion of the religion ele- ] ment. If the Government would take counsel t with themoderate laity of the Anglican Church, < I believe they could devise a via media which é would content the great mass of Noncon- formists. I

A nra xnziz-Uo AX a UUJLIWXJN BAY SHOP. Last Friday, at Colwyn Bay Police Court, before Mr T G Osboro and Mr William Jones, Louis Granger, lately employed as parcel porter and care- taker at London House Drapery Store, Station Road, was charged with stealing a number of articles of wearing apparel, the property of Mr John Owen Jones, his late employer. Louisa Bousfield, 6 Archway Terrace, Leeds, stated that on Sunday, September 28, she was on a visit to her sister, who was staying with Mr and Mrs Granger at Station Road. About eleven o'clock that morning she and her sister had some conversation with the prisoner. He told them that anything they might want he could get out of the shop, as he was authorised to sell articles that might be required when the assistants were out. A She told him she needed a piece of ribbon, and she and her sister went with him to a door in the B lobby of the house, which he opened by removing L the lock with a screwdriver. They all went into p the shop, and the prisoner obtained the ribbon out ai of a box, and she gave prisoner 6d for it. He put bi the money in his pocket, and, making a memo- it] randum on a piece of paper, he said he would hand sl the money over to one of the assistants in the ti morning. They left the shop, and prisoner p; replaced the lock on the door. On the following et day witness left the house, and prisoner gave her a b4 macintosh, a tea cosy, a baby's bonnet, and a w sunshade. These she took home and showed to her tl mother, who, she believed, wrote to Mr Jones ol about them. p, Replying to the prisoner, witness said she was b: told by him that the articles were lumber, and that fr he could give them away. w Prisoner remarked that that was what Mr Jones hi had told him. He understood that they were th rubbish, and fit only for a rummage sale. sa Mr J 0 Jones stated that on the day when the fe prisoner was said to have opened the door leading th to the millinery room witness had the key in his ly own possession. He had, before he heard of the in lock incident, beeu mystified as to how the to prisoner obtained access to the premises. The er accused was not authorised to sell any goods in the shop, and had not been employed at any time in doing so. So far as witness could trace, the six- pence spoken of by the last witness had not been paid over to him. Prisoner's wife called upon witness on Tuesday last, and in consequence of what witness said to her she produced a number of additional articles, of the value of 46s Id., which witness believed were his property. The private marks had been taken off, but the goods were all similar to those he had in stock. The value of the goods produced last week was £7 3s Sd., so that the total value was fl0 9s 9d. The prisoner pleaded guilty. He said most of the suits were brought down in a box when a room was cleared out, and he asked if they were ne good. He had kept them all till his arrest, except one which he sent to Liverpool. Most of the other things were brought in from the yard by the little girl he had adopted, and he had no idea he was dOlDg wrong as to that. He did not take many of the things out of the shop. Mr Jones said the prisoner had received 18s a week, and had four furnished rooms rent free, as well as free light, so that the value he received was equal to 27s or 29s per week. Prisoner was sent to gaol for four months with hard labour.

HOL YWELL. Extraordinary Election. The election took place last week of a representa- tive on the Governing Body of the Holywell County School by subscribers of f.5 and upwards. Two candidates were in the field, Mrs Batters TanlanHall,Ffynnongroew, and Mr Jlidward Parry) Hope House, Holywell. The vote was given solid for Mrs Batters, her opponent not even having the support of his nominators. # iylacmi Ian's Publications. DR. Illingworth's book, Reason and Revela" tion," deals with the character of the evidence for Christianity. Christianity has never feared to appeal to reason, and of this appeal modern cr/tic- ism is the legitimate outcome. But it has ne "er regarded pure reason as the final arbiter, because it neither claims nor seeks to be demonstrable in its truth by rotiocination. Reason can deal finally with abstract science, or with subject matter isolated from its context, but the essence of Christianity is to include human nature in its entire context. The argument for it, is cumulative, from three-fold evidence, and relies solely on no single aspect of the case. Christianity comes into contact with philosophy, but will only submit to the criticism of those who are fit to judge of the evidence which it puts forward, and the facts which it seeks to explain. Messrs Macmillan & Co., are the publishers of the work. Miss Constance Jones has edited for publication three sets of lectures delivered by the late Professor Sidgwick, analysing and criticising the ethical writings of T H Green, Mr Herbert Spencer and Dr Martineau—and justifying his own peculiar view of Utilitarianism (based on intuition) as against the transcendental ethics of Green and Dr Martineau, and the evolutional theories of Mr Spencer. Mrs Helen Bosanquet's work The Strength of the People," may be described as a preliminary study in social economics, having the practical aim of furnishing some theory of human nature and social life, which will be a guide to the average citizen in considering such problems as the housing of the poor, the relief of poverty, provision for old age, and the care of children. Incidentally also it is a summary review of the century's work in social legislation and adminis- tration, from a point of view which may be described as that of the Charity Organization Society. Mrs Bosanquet is individualist rather than socialist, and she holds the condition of progress to lie in the existence of difficulties to overcome, and freedom to overcome them." She is a strong advocate ot trusting to individual and co-operative exertion rather than to State intervention she regards public aid as tending to iemoralise much more than private beneficence ind naturally eulogises the Poor Law Reform and its consequences, while deprecating the reaction if the last decade, expressed in the movement for old age pensions and similar schemes. In ler view, economic principles are ultimately ethical, and she insists strongly, backing her 7iew from the history of the poor laws, on the probable ethical consequence of extended State lid. The work is extremely clear and readable Lnd evidences not only a close study of the whole I iterature bearing on her suject, but a very iympathetic acquaintance with working-class lives. 3er main purpose is to combat the view that ,here exists a submerged tenth," and that even Jxtreme poverty necessarily destroys self respect md energy. The work is published by Macmil- an & Co.

S JjJ.ll A r Well-behaved Bankrupt. i Last week at Chester County Court, before Sir t [oratio Lloyd, Mr Cornish (of Cornish and Garner, t iverpool) applied on behalf of Dr Stewart Kirk- atrick, physician and surgeon, formerly practising t Flint and Connah's Quay, for his discharge in 5 ankruptcy.—Mr R C Williams, Chester, who 0 ppeared for the Official Receiver, read a statement a lowing that the bankrupt"had since his examina- v on voluntarily paid £í8 odd to complete the e ayment of 20s in the £ to the creditors. Divid- ids amounting in aggregate to 20s in the £ had sen paid on a proof for E294 3s Id. The bankrupt J as forty years of age, and he attributed the c le bankruptcy to vexatious conduct on the part I his wife. The bankrupt's conduct during the F roceedings had been satisfactory. He was asked y the Receiver to state that he had received a letter om the bankrupt's wife, who said their relations ere now friendly, and the Official Receiver wished im to emphasise the last sentence in the report g. lat he considered bankrupt's conduct had been ti ^tisfactory.—Mr Cornish said it was a pleasing G ature of this unhappy bankruptcy to find ij iat the debtor and his wife were again on friend- 0 terms.—The Judge said he had much pleasure n granting the discharge. The bankrupt seemed h have behaved exceedingly well, and he would be Y ititled to his discharge at once. 0. IT

CYCLING NEWS & GOSSIP. -'1:- The once celebrated Richard Howell, the crack rider of the old ordinary days, is dead; but never will his memory fade amongst those racing enthusiasts who were wont to follow cycle sport in its earlier days. Dick Howell was ;one—if not the best-of the most famous professional riders in his day the world ever saw. In those days the utmost jealousy existed, and keen was the com- petition to achieve the title of champion. Howell's great height stood him in good stead, and he was admirably adapted for racing on the old tall machine his style was perfection, and his speed something to wonder at. He stood head and shoulders above his confreres, and held the record for match races won. Every rider of note was anxious to lower his colours, resulting in his being deluged with challenges. His most doughty opponent was Fred Wood, and many were the battles they fought out, but Howard invariably won. His favourite distance was one mile, and in a contest of that distance he was absolutely supreme and stood alone. A very heavy licence is imposed on bicycles in Sierra Leone, owners having to pay 20s. for a year, lis. for half a year and 6s. for three months. Consequently there are very few cyclists in that part of Africa, more especially as the roads-if such they may be termed-áre really awful. F. W. Chase recently made a successful attack on the hour and fifty miles British records for motor bicycles, at the Crystal Palace track, cover- ing on his Dunlop tyred bicycle no less than 44 miles, 210 yards in the hour, and the 50 miles in 1 hour, 7 mins., 57 2-5 sees. This is a VDnder- ful rate of speed with a 21 h.p. engine only. What will be the rate of travel in the course of the next year or so it is difficult to estimate? Improvements being daily introduced to reduce unnecessary friction and in other ways to increase speed. The high rate of speed gives a severe strain on the tyres and motorists should be thankful that in the Dunlop motor cycle tyre there is a tyre equal to the occasion. The system of treating dusty roads with oil, and thus overcoming the dust nuisance, has been given a thorough trial in Hampshire, on a section of the main road from Farnborough Station to Aldershot. This is an outcome of the offer made by the proprietors of the County Gentleman, to contribute towards the cost of treating a road in this [manner, if a county council consented to the trial being made. The Hampshire County Council consented, and the trial was carried out under the direction of the county sur- veyor, and Mr. W. Rees Jeffreys, who acts for the County Gentleman. A large amount of traffic, of every description, passes along the stretch of highway selected,, therefore the system will be iven a severe trial. When the oil is laid it is essential that the road should be perfectly dry, and warm sun shining at the time of treatment. The open hundred miles amateur race which was being arranged by the J^utney Athletic Club for October 4th, fell through owing to the small number of entries received. We suppose the long listance riders are out of training at this time of ;he year. Huret, who sustained such a serious accident recently in training, is making fair progress, but ilthough he will be unable to again take part in ,yele racing, his leg will be saved. A subscription ias been started in Paris to assist him in his 6 .rouble, for it would appear he is really in want of t inancial help. > — I The past racing season has been a successful i )ne for ridera of Dunlop tyres. There is no doubt v hat the Dunlop single tube sprint tyre has won- a lerful speed giving properties, being, without a luestion, the fastest sprint tyre in existence, as its c practically endless victories on the path testify. a j The champion police cyclist of Glasgow, Con- v table Henry Bell, has been promoted to 11 uperintendent-sergeant and instructor of the t Prinidad police, at a salary of 9250 a year. His t nany cycling friends in Scotland wish him every ( uccess in his new sphere. j, A few hints to young cyclists: Rush short a tills, and take long ones steadily. Oil your bear- ( tigs regularly, say after every hundred miles, or t t the outside once a week. This recommenda- g ion applies particularly to the free-wheel clutch. x jittle and often is the motto for the proper ( ubrication of cycles. When meeting a vehicle eep to the left; when overtaking, keep to the i ight. Don't lend your cycle or you may regret Don't rush downhill unless you can see the iottom. Buy the best cycle you can afford; it is ( be cheapest. Keep your lamp well trimmed and lways ready for use. Keep your chain clean, but o not rub the inside of it. Do not tamper with D our machine, because nothing wears the threads D f nuts and bolts more than constant screwing a nd unscrewing. Never dispute the right of way n ritli a water cart, steam roller, or road-hog— I xcept you are in a motor car. Always use plenty n f French chalk between cover and tube of your p yre; it prevents the cover from sticking to the i< abe, and prolongs the life of the tyres. Never t1 ave inferior quality tyres fitted to your machine, t ro in for the best, it is the cheapest in the long a un, and don't forget to keep the tyres pumped r, ard. q e The danger boards in use in this country are C pen to vast improvements, not only in the matter F f periodical renovation, but in devising some n ystem of intimating to the wheelmen the danger a iey are to guard against. At a meeting held at a reneva, the Ligue Internationale des Associations g* 'ourists, adopted a series of signals for displaying w a danger boards, which have the advantage of a ot only denoting the particular danger of the u ill, but of being intelligible to tourists not con- T srsant with the language. An arrow on an angle E 45 degrees denotes a hill that should be ridden ith attention an arrow pointing direct to the round, a hill that should be walked down an rrow twisted like a C, a hill with a dangerous iI irn and an arrow placed horizontally, broken in h 1e centre, denotes caution an obstruction. This L a capital code, and should be universally tl lopted. Hasten up C.T.C., and bring your t1 inger boards up-to-date. ti h tl 11 -E I A motor cycle race meeting will be held on the h Crystal Palace track on August 29th. Three races P re down for decision, a one hour scratch race, a ve miles handicap, and a ten miles handicap.. h. 'he events are organised by the Automobile Club. OJ a It is the free-wheel that has really been mainly 1Q istrumental in the revival of brakes. Cycles tc 'ere often without brake power at all, but with 01 le free-wheel came the obvious necessity for at Jtarding power, because, were such not at hand ai would mean that down every decline the free- heeler would be absolutely without control over is machine. From this start the brake grew ito favour, and those riders who ordered new pcles minus the free-wheel were led to have a rake fitted. Happily the custom is of course C, ow general. c< + A No tyre company caters so fully for the require- 11 lents of all cyclists as the Dunlop Company. y or those preferring a wired-on tyre there is the w unlop-Welch, which has been testod and tried 110 te world over; while for those preferring the ai ireless variety there is the Dunlop-B<artlett. The p >me best quality material and workm anship has a ace in both these tyres. The Dunlop is the only re company offering this choice of attachment. F, z m Another item which is now regardod as neces- a( £ 3LOD every cvclfi. but .rohich voaxau w&9 nnfe m us«d~sv a^ansldaifaBle secfion"v3I riders is the mud-guard. It used to be a common sight to see men r!.5 over wet and muddy roads without protection whatever from the mud. The rw.qr.it naturallv was that the bearings, the cycle, sas naer as vfeil, got into a rather dirty state. Perhaps the idea wa3 that the owner of the cycle thought that he would never ride unless the roads were dry; but in this climate of ours one starts out over dry roads, and raturns over roads wet and muddy. The idea seemed to be that mud- guards were not necessary. All this, however, is now altered, and practically everyone use guards on their machines, tending not only to their own comfort, but also to the preservation of the cycle itself. The expenditure of a cycling tour is just about this time of the year a topic of much interest to wheelmen. Occasionally one hears of toura awheel being accomplished on such a small dis- bursement that it would seem to be more econom- ical to spend one's holidays awheel than at home. By avoiding the oeaten track and the many "show places it is possible for cyclists who do not desire luxurious surroundings to undertake a tour upon an outlay approximating about 6/- a day. In Scotland touring expenses are much higher, while in the Emerald isle the tariff will be found more reasonable than either England or Scotland. The little inns and farmhouses dotted about the country will often be found to provide wheelfolk with cheap and comfortable lodgings. As a rule the charges at [these places err on the side of moderation, but occasionally the prices will be found to fluctuate in various localities. For example, if the rider pitches his camp at a farm- house among picturesque scenery he will appar- ently find this included in the bill. But taking them all round the cost is a mere nothing in comparison with that at swell hotels and large caravansaries. It is the desire of all cyclists to have an easy running machine. To ensure this the bearings must be properly adjusted. It would be a wise plan to occasionally take out all spindles and cones and give them a thorough cleaning. Before replacing the balls they should be carefully ex- amined, and any cracked or unevenly worn ones thrown away and replaced by new ones. Be sure that they are of similar size. Then screw up the loose cone until no play is felt, taking care not to screw too tight or there will be binding between the balls and cones, and perhaps a cracking of the latter when the machine is ridden. If the wheels are properly adjusted they should, after being spun round a little, come to rest with the valve lower-most. The bracket should be similarly adjusted, there being a tiny amount of play felt. The chain itself should be fairly loose, because if the machine has a free wheel and the chain is on the tight side, it will exert a binding action on the clutch, causing stiff running down declivities. •*) As previously mentioned in this column, danger- boards are such useful articles, that it is to be regretted that one can, even at rare intervals come across boards which are either not placed in sufficiently prominent positions or are perhaps hidden to a certain extent by trees or over-growth. In other cases, too, one cannot fail to notice that the board is placed too near the top of a dangerous hill, so that the rider is almost on the brink before he notices the warning. Com- plaints which can be made of this kind are happily few and far between but so good and important is the work these boards do, that perfection as near as it is possible to attain should be the standard. The Dunlop Company, it may be mentioned, has done good work by erecting danger-boards, entirely at their own expense, in various parts of the country on really dangerous hills where before no boards at all existed. One of the most extraordinary bicycle races ever run was witnessed at the Bracknell Sports. One has often heard of a competitor falling not far from the line, and who, mounting rapidly, succeeded in winning the race, but in this case a competitor was winning when he fell exhausted a few yards from the finishing point, and rolled towards the line. Then another competitor crashed into his fallen opponent, and dragged him over the tape." A third man came up with great speed, but just failed to catch his fallen competitors, and luckily escaped getting mixed up in the melee. The judges decided it was a fair race," and it was awarded in the order of finishing. Fortunately none of the competitors sustained any serious injury. There are but few one-legged cyclists to be met on the road, but one cannot but be impressed with the ability these men show. Anyone has only to endeavour to ride a short way along the level, pedalling-with one foot only, to appreciate the amount of energy and skill a one-legged cyclist must have in order to ride for even a short way over good surfaces, to say nothing of climbing hills. The other day, however, one of these men riding a by no means light safety bicycle, was seen riding up a very appreciable slope, and, at the same time assisting a lady in the orthodox manner!

LORD KITCHENER'S PLATE." WHO SHALL PAY FOR IT? Lord Kitchener's visit to Sheffield has had a omewhat extraordinary sequel, which promises o place the Corporation of that city in an awk- vard predicament. The presentation to his liordship of the freedom of the city was accom- )anied by a magnificent service of silver plate, vhich, it was understood, in view of his Indian ippointment, he preferred to the illuminated .ddress and casket usually associated with such eremonies. The cost of this, some JB500, it was igreed should be taken from the profits of the ramway undertaking, recently acquired by the ity. Following the presentation, however, a rell-known citizen, a large ratepayer and former Member of the Council, has stepped in, and, pro- esting against the payment being made out of he rates, has given formal notice that if the Council persist in their intention be will apply or an injunction restraining them from using he ratepayers' money for such a purpose. The natter is now under the consideration of the xmncil, who do not appreciate the suggestion hat each member of that body should bear his hare of the Kitchener grant. Further develop- llmt8 are expected at the next meeting of the Corporation.

UM-RITUALIST CHURCHMEN. :ANON WEBB-PEPLOB ATTACKS LORD HALIFAX. In connection with the Evangelical Com- littee, a very largely attended and influential meeting was held on Monday evening at North- mpton, under the presidency of Sir John Ken- away, Bart., M.P. The Rey. Canon Webb- moved: That this meeting affirms the ecessity of emphasising the fact that the true osition of our National Church is as a witness J or the Apostolic, Catholic, Reformed, and Pro- estant doctrine and worship which were restored o our Church and nation, at the RetfoTmation, nd are now being seriously imperilled by the I apid growth of sacerdotalism in our midst." 'he rev. gentleman dissented from the views xpressed by Lord Halifax at Rockingham astle, and contended that in no way could the 'rayer Book or Bible be construed to take the leaning Ritualists applied to them. He eepeci- j lly condemned the idea that the priest could in ny way come between man and God, and ;verely criticised the book by Mr. Speneer Jones, ith a preface by Lord Halifax, in which it was ontended that the proper course was to seek nion with Rome because she never changed. J 'he resolution was carried. A BISHOP ON RITUALISM. Dr. Chavasse, Bishop of Liverpool, in reply to a arrespondent who wrote condemning his action 1 putting down Ritualism, says the policy he as marked out for himself is that where the ambetli judgment is observed, he will support le clergy; but where it is ignored, lie will treat lem as Nonconformists. "J do not doubt (con- nues his Lordship) that yon and your friends ave from time to time been sorely provoked by 18 follies and extravagances of extreme men in 1e Church of England; but, in my opinion, the lethods which a small and extreme section of rotetstants have thought fit to adopt, and the me in which they have carried on the most un- appy controversy, have done as much harm not rly to the true Protestant cause but also to the iuse of Christianity in England as the dis- I yaJty of any Ritualist. These are hard words ) write, and it is painful for me to write them the Protestant cause. I trust I shall never be shamed, but I often am ashamed of the unwise nd un-Christian conduct of some who call them- Protestants."

MADE HIS WILL IN GAOL. At a special sitting of the Auckland Police ourt, on Friday, Saml. Walton, miner (31), was i immitted to take his trial at the Durham ssizes on the charge of having, on September lth, murdered his mother-in-law (Isabella oung), his child- (Esther Jane Walton), and his ife (Isabella Walton), at Middlestone Moor, jar Auckland, by shooting them. The murders re alleged to be of a premeditated character, ['isoner having previously given his personal fects to acquaintances. Before leaving the ourt Walton produced a document, which he lid was a will, and asked that his signature ight. be witnessed. This was done by the ] icusod's brother and a police sergeant, his .other being the beneficiary. .=- =.
