Macfarlane in the chair, a letter was read from some men who had been 'engaged on the farm work at Withington, protesting against their discharge and the statements made St the meet ing a month ago.
The letter' stated that many of the men had army, navy, or trade union references, and the Guardians were asked how it was that they had been give-, no oppor tunity of defending themselves, a. withdrawal of the statements was -asked for. The Deputy Clerk (Mr. Greenhalgh) said the men had held a meeting at Withington and appointed a deputation to attend the Board meeting. He understood hat the deputation wer-i in attendance, and also that men from, the farm to.
the number of about 200. were waiting in the cuilding to eee the Guardians. These other men had left work, although they, had been warned that to-do so without permission would mean the stoppage of their relief. mz. bkivlngton raid he was noi aurpiuwu.
a the action of the men, because the alteration of their hoars of labour to begin at half-past eight gave them no chance of looking for work. After considerable discussion it was resolved to give the labour master power to permit men to remain from work until later in themorn-ing when application was made in order to afford them the chance of employment elsewhere. Notice was also given of a motion to revert to the old hours of labour, wnien permitted a later start in. the morning. After the business of the Board was finished it was found that all the labourers on the farm, with the exception of 16, had left work and were assembled in the hall.
They were informed of the decision of the Board, and told that if they returned to Witbington food would be provided and payment for the half-day work given. The remarks made by the Manchester Coroner (Mr. Gibson) about a post-mortem examination made at tne Withington Workhouse were also diicusaed. Mr. Gibson had complained that the name of the Coroner had been used as a lever to induce the relatives of the dead person to consent to an examination.
Mr. Skivington expressed the hope that the Board would change its policy in regard to auoh examinations. It was time they compelled the medical officers to make reports eery time they considered a post-mortem examination to be necessary. He moved that the matter be reconsidered by the House Committee with the view to the adoption of a regulation to require a separate report for eacn casj and a record of the result. Mrs.
Garrett seconded this. There were many post-mortem examinations at Withington, anl the Board took no precautions, although a neighbouring Board made it a rule that a medical officer, believing an examination to be necessary, should give a written certificate showing his reasons. At Withington there win no record whatever. The Chairman said that when Mrs. Garrett mad6 a charge against the medical staff at the workhouse he.
in the name of the Board, had to protest against it. Mrs. Garrett: I think the Coroner has done quite sufficient. After other members had spoken, the motion to refer the matter back to committee was defeated by eleven votes to nine. FEEBLE-MINDED GIRLS.
SALFORD AND CLASSIFICATION. The Salford Guardians yesterday discussed the need of separate classification of the feebleminded girls that are in the workhouse. Councillor W. M. Beecoby presided.
Mrs. M. Shutt moved that a committee should be formed to consider the provision of a home for feeble-minded girls away from the premises of the workhouse, and said that it could be done without much additional expense, as they had one or two buildings that might be put in order and used for the purpose. About twenty or thirty of the girls might be taken in hand, and an attempt made to draw out whatever intelligence or ability they might possess. It would, of course, be necessary to have a teacher who was trained in the care of the feeble-minded.
It wa3 a moral danger and a disadvantage that these girls had the right to leave the workhouse (ignorant and helpless. There were about thirty jsuoh girls in the workhouse. The Rev. Benjamin Gregory seconded the proposal. It went in the direction of the report iof the Poor Law Commission, which suggested the entire-separation oi the leebie-mmaea irom those inmates who were in normal condition.
Mr. J. P. Byrne said that to make an effort to improve the condition of the girls would be the greatest charity that the guardians could do them, and if only they could lift up and improve the eleven younger girls and give them a sense oi responsiDimy it was justiiiea, so that thev would make an effort to preserve themselves in later life. After other members had spoken, Mrs.
Thompson said that she would givo notice of motion that the phthisis cases 6houId also be considered by the committee appointed, and Mrs. Shutt's proposal was adopted unanimously, the whole of the members being constituted a special committee. SHALL WOMEN WORK 9 MISS E. ROBINS IN MANCHESTER. "Shall Women Work?" was the title of an address given in the Memorial Hall, Manches ter, last night by Miss Elizabeth Robins.
The meeting was promoted by the Women's Social and Political Union, and the hall wa3 full. Miss Robins said that the question Shall women work?" was by no means decided even yet; there were many -who felt it was not for the good of the world tnat they should. She went on emphatically to deny that woman was incapacitated for work by reason of physical weakness. Woman was the drudge of the world she sweated over all the cooking stoves in Christendom; in the North she was a pit lass, further south a mill girl, and so on. It-was to be proved in many ways that she had tne strength.
Yet women v-'ere being legislated out of such little liberty as thev now nns- eessed. The effect of what the President of the Jjocal Government Board proposed was that ihc. earning power of the poorer women should be destroyed, iney tamed of the effect on 1he children. Even to women of wider interests there was nothing: so absorbing as her children. nenao mmcuity in restraining herself on thu subject of her little boy's nreraeitv- nr hr liniu girl's something else.
The in.stinct was stronger in jiuur wuuien. nuaren was tvieir society, their story-books, their poetTy, their everything. What was it. then, that indnnpr. woman to turn her back on all that and go ti work? The instinct that nrsad wnmpn m-if.
if their homes was a precious one the instinct to ao uie nest, ior tneir children. These women had no perverted passion for the mill; their unsiuu iis ior a suunaer roor and a fuller table for the children thev loved. Were these hard-driven women to be "denied the riht to choose between privation and the lesser social evil of leaving ihcir children to the care of a-i older child I THK WOMEN NOT MOTHERS. But the people who were so earnest about "the woman's ulace is the Imm" cpomni assume first that all women must have children, and secondly that they never grew up. It seemed useless to tell them differently; the widows, the childless, the incorrigibly maiden werj not to he considered at all; oh, no, away with them said the woman who had done the greatest service to France wa she that had reared the largest "family.
Warriors and the exploiters -of labour might be anxious to see laTse it was easy to understand why. But neither to fill the rooms of mills1 nor the ranks of armies did woman exist. There was au old line.about men working and women weeping that they wanted to alter. They would have it read Men must work and women must work, or both will be-weeping. In conclusion Miss Robins dealt with the question.
"What is the connection, if anv. between women's wages and women's franchise? THE CUJIBERLAND COMBINE. NEW COMPANY TO START NEXT MONTH.

The opening of the Hull and Zeeferugge route will make Brussels rather than Paris the goal of well-to-do folk from Lancashire and Yorkshire. This route makes a Journey to Brussels as easy and comfortable as a trip to the Isle of Man.
And what a place Brussels is I What a contrast with Manchester or Liverpool or Leeds. It has well been called "Little Paris." It has been planned in the same careful deliberate way with the one idea of making it in truth the city beautiful. Visitors from the North of England are not easily impressed by a fine city but they yield' at once to the charm of Brussels. It is the atmosphere of the place that captivates everybody. The beauty of the surroundings has given the citizens a taste for pleasure which finds expression in the life of the streets.
Every aspect of the streets is bright and animated. The buildings are handsome and clean, the air is clear and smokeless, the cafes are prosperous and the people are well dressed and well-to-do. A holiday in such a place is an exhilarating experience. It broadens the mind and gives one a proper distaste for dinginess and gloom. Foreign travel is part of a liberal education (and a particularly pleasant part too), and a trip to Brussels should certainly be undertaken now that it has iezn brought so near by the Hull and Zeebrugge route.
A quick run by a splendidly equipped train right down to the spot from which the steamer leaves at Hull, a comfortable boat passage, then another express special train from Zeebrugge, and Brussels is reached before ten o'clock in the morning. The same arrangements on the return journey. Everything has been done to make the route thoroughly comfortable and easy. Foil particulars of the service from Mr. H.

HOW EXPLORER SHACKLETON TURNED BACK.
PLANTING THE FLAG. The "Milan correspondent of the "Daily Tele under yesterday's date, describes an interview with Lieutenant Shackleton after land ing at'Brindisi. "Tell me," said the correspondent, "what were your feelings when you resolved to turn back after having planted the British flag at the limit of your conquest." Lieutenant Shackleton said We were sorry, but we could not do any more. We had to turn back. Before us was certain death.
We had only enough food for a day's march- scarcely enough to enable us with an effort to reach the sledges which we had left at the last stage. And we were done up. Tho last day we did seventeen miles under a violent storm. We only allowed ourselves. the smallest amount of sleep.
It was impossible," Lieutenant Shackleton repeated somewhat sadly, to do any more. Did you leave behind the flag given vou by Queen Alexandra No, the Queen's flag, which I have with me. whksh I have always carried with me, was not leit oehmd. I have brought it back, and it is here in my baggage. I planted another flag down theia.
I fixed deeply in the ice a bamboo pole with a steel point like an Alpenstock which we had carried with us on purpose, and to that pole we bound a Union Jack. A furious and cold wind was blowing, the sky was dark, but the icefield seemed to be dazzling it was so much more luminous than the sky. We saluted the flag and turned back." THE VENEZUELAN ENVOY. A telegram from Caracas says that owing to statements appearing in the Yellow Book compiled by Dr. Paul, the Venezuelan Envoy in Europe, that during the recent crisis he siiir- gested that foreign warships should proceed to ia uuayra, the Venezuelan Congress has adopted a resolution recommending his dismissal from his post of representative of Vene-zuela abroad.

GENERAL HOLIDAY SUGGESTED. Aa the result of the preliminary inquiries examinations on Thursday as to the reception of the Ring and Queen when they come to Manchester on July 6 some communications have been made to His Majesty's advisers in London. It may be that certain small modifications of the programme -will be suggested, but -whether that be so or not, -when the King has signified his approval of what is proposed to be done the Reception Committee will make the matter known to the public. Eome disappointment was felt yesterday when it became known, that their will travel both to and from the Infirmary in motors.
IT- is feared that this swift and easy mode of progression will detract from the spectacular pleasure. The question of observing the day of the Royal visit as a public holiday is being dis cussed. The Lord Mayor has asked the citi zens and employers of labour in' particular to observe the day as a public holiday "as far as circ*mstances permit." Mt. 0. V.
Beckett, secretary of the Retail Traders' Association, called on the Lord Mayor yesterday to see what mora could be done to git the traders of the city to act unitedly on tms point. It was suggested that in the ab sence of a statutory obligation ox a Royal injunction there will be a good deal of inde cision; some fshops away from the etreets traversed by thoir Majesties will close, others will keep open, and there will bo altogether an absence of that unity of feeling which is desirable on an occasion of this kind. The Lord Mayor said he would confer with the Reception Committee, with the object of secur ing uniformity of action throughout the city. In the meantime Mr. Beckett has convened a meetiDg of the Committee of his Association for Monday night, and the decision of that meeting will be laid before the Town Hall authorities on the following day.
Already Mr. Eeekett hae received assurances from a number of leading business houses that they will close on the day of the King's visit no matter what others do. Amongst the firms who have made this declaration are Messrs. Kendal, Milne, and Messrs. Jewsbnry and Messrs.

"OFF LICENCE ASSOCIATION. PRICE OF LIQUOR IN MANCHESTER. At a meeting of the Manchester and Salford Off Licence Association held last evening the secretary reported that he had issued circular letters to wine and spirit merchants in Manchester and district on the revised prices to be charged for proprietary brands of whiskies, and up to the present replies had been received from 60 firms agreeing to charge these prices. Mr. W.
T. Burrows (Messrs. Mason and Burrows) thought it was desirable that a Bpecial sub-committee should be formed to deal with the wine and spirit section of the trade, particularly with the view of taking up any case of under-selling. It was stated that the distillers had agreed jointly to stop the Supplies of any firms found to be sell. no- hp.

June 11. Last night, shortly before ten o'clock, I heard cheerful tittering calls of passing whim-brels; the bird3 were apparently flying- duo north. The birds which nest in the Arctic arj naturally later than those which do not go so far; on the Lancashire chore there are still quantities of bar-tailed godwite, sander-lings, and knots waiting until the short Arctic summer renders their breeding-ground attrac-the and suitable. A friend calls attention to a large bird, he suggests one of the eagles or buzzards, which he observed last Monday about r.oon high above Manchester; he describes it as "hovering and at a great height for some time, and finally it rose higher' still and passed out of sight. Did anyone else see tlu birdf The average Manchester man seldom casts a glance at the strips of sky to be seep between the buildings, but if lie does he may from time to time see aerial travellerp far abuve the smoke.

In listening to a further series of action-songs this evening oiu was impressed with the necessity of avoiding at all costs any appearance of theatricality.
To-night there was several times a feeling of fabrication, ingenious but not spontaneous. Our old national or traditional tunes deserve more attention than they get for the purposes of action-songs a few have been used in the past; but a vaet unexplored treasure- house remains. They have tho supreme merit of being flno tunes Bongs which are merely a framework for comical or quaint action, but whose musio is of no intnnsio worth, cannot produce the same lasting impression on the child-mind as, for example, the Skye Boat-song" or the "Kerry Dance." The effect of the last-named song as given by a group of children from the Blackpool Bevoe School was quite wonderful. Might it be suggested that the old Cheshire folk-tune "The Keys of Heaven" is worthy the attention of these school choirs 1 Both Victor Maurel and Mme. Marie Brema have revealed its possibilities for effective characterisation.
These festivals rarely miss bringing to light boy or girl soloists who eeem to possess the artist soul quite beyond their years such we had to-night in Gwennie Bell, of Barrow-in-Furness, and Tom Fletcher, of Rochdale. The performance by the school choirs of an old Thuringian Volkslied in three-part harmony and C. E. Horn's I know a bank where the wild thyme grows was a delight to the lover of music. To-morrow there is every promise of some exceedingly good choral singing, no fewer than thirty-four choirs competing during the day.
