DISTRESSING CASE.  Sarah Hannah Booth, sister of the deceased, said on Sunday Maggie was very downhearted, and told witness that she wan in great trouble. Miss Mather, matron at the infirmary, said the cut on the throat was not deep, but extended front ear to ear, and she seemed as if she had attempted to out herself several times. She had also taken spirits of salts—a poison. She died about a quarter to nine—about three hours after she had been admitted.  The jury returned a verdict that deceased nom milled suicide whilst temporarily insane. The funeral took place at Leigh Cemetery on Friday afternoon, and was witnessed by a con, siderable number of persons. Many wreaths wens sent, and some mill girls and the members of the Bedford Wesleyan choir, of which deceased was a member, walked in procession in front of the hearse to the cemetery. Numerous blinds were drawn, deceased being well known and highly respected. A hymn was sung at the graveside, anor the Rev. E. A. Evans read the funeral service.

DOMESTIC TROUBLE LEADS TO SUICIDE.  An inquest waa held at Nelson, on :Monday even-, Mg, on the body of William Whalley (47), a wearer, of be, Sackvilie-street. Nelson, who oummitted ,ukide after police court proeeedings brought against him by his wife on Saturday.. .  The United Board of the Co-operative Union passed a resolution on Saturday putting an end to the negotiations and conferences which their representatives have had with the Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Union Congress and the Labour Party to ascertain, if possible, where Mutual assistance could be ren! dered by the respective bodies to each i other n matters that are common to all three. We are convinced the resolution is a mistake, and a retrograde step on the part of the Co-op. Union. The bogey of a " political alliance" raised at Dundee the other week has evidently unnerved some of the members of the United Board. There is no danger of a political alliance in any form whatever, and they might ut.litiaeeroein ‘oCoun.y at least have seen what the full scheme w eonwas before they condemned it.

THE EDITOR OF THE •• FA-TORY Timyt.i."] Sir,—l have headed this letter as the fate of the ;Alf-tinter, but I am inelinad to think it would ,axe been better to head it aa "The Fate of the Full 'rimer."  There is a kit of twaddle being talked and written about abolishing the half-time ivorker, but 1 , prepared to back the present system against ,ny other that has yet been devised. The parents "f these youths or girls can start them to work ,ats mill life and methocle on a kind of graduated system by the present halftime system at the age 12. and have these young people thoronghly "learned" to their work and ready ,to earn full wagew at the age of 13 yea's. Now oompare this with the proposed new system. These young people will have to remain at salmi until 13 years old; then follows a bit of the most. wild-cat legislation it is possible to conceive. The boy or girl after having a life of perfect freedom, liberty, and fresh air for 13 peens is to be inicklenly imprisoned for 553 bourn per week in a stuffy atmosphere, and all his leisure time to be taken up by attending evening classes sr sniclying at. home until 16 y-ears Talk about "a sweated life!" It ia the most outrageous, abominable, and senseless proposal that could possibly be devised. Far better would it have been to increase the half-time sy-stem for another year in the life of each young person than go and break the heart, ruin the health, and kill all interest in life by overwork to these gide and boys by suddenly subjecting them to laborious week all clay and nerve-racking study at night. It will be nothing, lena than making their life between 13 and 16 years a long, living hell. Up at 5 or 5 30 in the morning, working or preparing Inn work until 9300 r 10 p.m. Talk about a life of slavery and juvenile suicides! Why, most slaves in the olden time.; had a happier life than this, and it will increase juvenile suicides more than 100 fold.  this the kind of Labour legislation We expreted from our Labour M.P.'s? Did we SPTICI them to Parliament to impose on an and our offspring each proposals as the above? If they allow such and grandmotherly " Acts " as these to pass into :aw without kicking up the most rebellious protest& they will, in my opinion, forfeit the regard ..1 their clam.
