OF MANCHESTER.
Some Historical Features-secret Pas

Go In Sermon Time In Their surpllces
to Refresh Themselves.
(Special Letter.l

The Seven Stars in the city Of Man
chester claims to be the Oldest licensed
house in Great Britain, and this claim
rests upon documentary evidence. Ac-
.ording to the county records, formerly
preserved in the record office, Lancas-
ter castle, now removed to London, 1t
has been a licensed hostelry for a pc
riod of $40 years, the first license hav-
Ing been granted In the reign or Ed
ward ILL.,. A. D. 1856.
In the middle ages inns were not so
plentiful as in more recent times. The
entertainment of travellers was under
taken by the monasteries, where there
was always a hospitium for the ped
dlers, pilgrims, soldiers and merchants
who rode from town to town. In the
fifteenth century inns began to spring
up, the burghers not being on very
good terms with the monks, and caring
not to depend upon them for hospital
ity.
Sometimes the worthy citizens used
to receive travellers into their houses
and accept payment for entertaining
them. Regular inns we're usually dis
tinguished by the sign Of the landlord
with bush attached to 1t. Hence the
proverb: Good wine needs no bush"

new service will rob the transcontinen-

MISUSE OF THE cHEcK-REIN
Mirery 1t Entails Upon Horse and Its
Evil Effects.

Mirery 1t Entails Upon Horse ana lts
Evil Effects.
| In recent years there has been a con-
siderable falling off in the practice OF
overlooking, says the Denver Post.
Horses with their heads cruelty
checked up merely for appearances
sake are becoming fewer. People OF
good taste see that any appearance or
spirit and style so obtained is bogus.
People of good sense see that any de-
vice of harness which makes horse
uncomfortable cannot fail to diminish
the nervous strength and vitality
which are needed for something else.
Common sense teaches that the more
comfortable a horse is the more and
better work he can do. All this Is
apart from the horses own right to be
as happy and comfortable as possible
and to have that right abridged only
by necessity, not by vanity or indiffer-
ence. There are some principles gov
erning the use of the check-rein which
everybody who cares for horses COM
fort agrees to. Draft horses should
have the free use Of their heads, un-
hindered by check-reins. Driving
horses should be checked only when
necessary to their proper control, and
when standing the checks should be
removed. The use of an uncomforta-
BILE, vexatious or cruel check-rein mere
ly for the sake Of clocks" Is wholly in
defensible and shows poor taste, poor
Judgment and cruel disposition.
These are some of the things horsemen
say about check-reins: "The check
rein is extremely cruel-a hindrance to

The sleeping accommodation in these
inns, judging from old pictures, was
primitive, the beds being arranged in
separate berths like those of ships
cabin.
Such an inn was the old Seven Stars,
which has many interesting features
and historical associations. Here came
Guy Fawkes and concealed himself IN
aye Guy Faux Chamber" as the legend
over the door testifies.
What stories could this old inn tell
us! 1t would tell of the Flemish weav-
ers who, driven from their own coun-
try by religious prosecutions and the
atrocities of Duke Alva, settled in Man
chester in 1854; of the dispute between
the clergy of the collegiate church and
the citizens in 1874, when one of the
preachers, a bachelor of divinity, on
his way to the church, was stabbed
three times by the dagger Of Man
chester man; of the execution in 1854
Of three popish priests, whose heads
were afterward exposed from the tower
of the church.
Then there is the story of the IA
nous siege in 1912, when the kings
forces tried to take the town and were
repulsed by the townsfolk, who were
stanch roundheads. "a great and fu-
rious skirmish did ensue," and the
Seven Stars was in the center of the
fighting. Sir Thomas Fairfax made
Manchester his headquarters in 164S,
and the walls of the Seven Stars echoed
with the carousals Of the roundhead
soldiers. When Fairfax marched from
Manchester to relieve Nantwich, some
dragons had to leave hurriedly and Sc
creted their mess plate in the walls OF
the old inn, where it was discovered
only few years ago and may now be
seen in the parlor Of this interesting
hostel.
, In 1745 the Seven Stars furnished ac-
commodation for the soldiers of Prince
Charles Edward, the young pretender,
and was the headquarters of the Man
chester regiment, commanded by
Colonel Townley. One of the rooms is
called "Ye vestry," on account of its
connection with the Collegiate church.
There was a secret passage between the
inn and the church, and, according to
the Court Leet records, some Of the
clergy used to go to the Seven Stars
in sermon time in their surplices to
refresh themselves. o, tempora! o,
mores!
A horn shoe at the foot of the stairs
has a story to tell. During the war
with France, in 1905, the press gang
was billetted at the Seven Stars. A
young farmers lad was leading horse
to be shod, which had cast shoe. The
press gang rushed out, seized the young
man, and led him off to serve the king |
Before leaving he nailed the shoe to a
post on the stairs, saying, LET this |
stay till come from the wars to claim
It," So it remains to this day un
claimed mute reminder of its owners |
fate and of the ways of our forefathers. |
We regret to hear that the old inn |
Is doomed, and that commercial enter
prises and the growth Of hideous ware
houses and factories necessitate its re-
uoval. Another interesting link be-
twesn the present and the past will be |

A MUSICAL WONDER.

Once in while there is found among
the pupils of the public schools child
who seems endowed with an unusual
amount of talent in some one direction.
The picture represents Lawrence Bra
beau, who attends the Russell school
ard is in the B second class, living at
35S Brady street. He is only eight
years old, and when sitting on the pi-
ano stool his feet reach little more than
half way down to the floor. Yet he
plays the latest of the popular airs, and
plays them with a good deal of skill.
Not simply the airs does he play, but
with his left hand he executes the bass
accompaniment and the air with his
right. He needs to hear new march
but once or twice and he will be able
to sit down at the piano and play 1t
over, keeping excellent time. He has
never had teacher, but has picked up
all he knows by himself. He is quiet
