POWERFUL VOICES.
Some Historic Shrickers who Ante

Some Historic Shrickers Who Ante
dated the Famous stcntor.
The question has often been asked,
"Who was the most loud voiced man
of history" The answer usually is
that it was StentOr, Of whom Homer
says his voice was as loud as that of
fifty other men combined and from
which we get the phrase "stentorian
voiced" But we have record Of two
historic "shriCkcrs" anterior to Homer.
We read where Simeon and Levi fought
against the twelve men of the city Of
SartOn ard that Levi hchcaded one
man with his own sword. In chapter
80. verse Al. of the book referred to the
story is related in the following words:
And the sons of Jacob seeing that
they could not prevail over the twelve,
Simeon gave Il loud and tremendous
Shrek, and the eleven remaining men
were stunned by the awful Shrek"
In chapter 80, same book, verse 10,
we find the following account Of the
battles of the sons of Jacob with the
inhabitants of the city of GaaSh. 1t
seems rs though the battle was both In
the front and in the rear and that the
warriors Oh the wall were throwing
spears and hurting stones upon the
sons of Jacob. What next occurred, as
related in chapter and verse above
cited. is recorded in these words:
And judah, seeing that the men of
Gaash were getting too heavy for
them, gave a piercing and tremendous
Shrek. and all the men OF GaaSh were
terrified at Judah's cry, and men fell
from the wall at the sound of his pow
erful shrek, and all those that were
without as well as those within the
city were greatly afraid of their lives y

Mr.. Depew has recently been making
observations and conducting inquiries
with regard to the probable action of
the Republican National convention
that will assemble in 1904 He is CON
vinced as the result of these observa-
tions that the people are with President
Roosevelt, and will insist on his nomina-
tion to succeed himself. The politicians
may be against Roosevelt but Mr. De
pew believes the people will compel his
nomination regardless of politicians.
The sentiment is widespread, said the
Senator, that President Roosevelt is
making good Chief Executive, and the
people say he must have another term.

CHELSEA'S NOTED BUNS.
All London Used TO Visit Mrs. Hands
on Good Friday.

However religious obseryances may
change in England, the eating Of hot
cross buns on Good Friday is not likely
10 die out Still, enthusiasm in this
particular has considerably declined
since the days when Mrs Hands kept
the Chelsea Bun House at the corner
Of Jews row, now PimlicO road. Sc
many people were in the habit of flock
Sng there on Good Friday in order tC
eat hot cross buns that on one occasion
10000 persons assembled there, and
$3.50 was taken in the day for buns
alone. After this the inhabitants
Chelsea protested against the noise and
disturbance this caused, and Mrs
Hands, fearing to be restrained by the
law, issued in 1893 quaint prOclama
ton, stating how, "desirOus, therefore
Of testifying her regard and obedience
to those laws by which she is happily
protected, she is determined, though
much to her loss not TO sell cross buns
on that day to any person whatever
but Chelsea buns as usual"
This Mrs. Hands was something Of a
character in her own way. The royal
family and many Of the aristocracy
used to visit her in the morning, and
Queen Charlotte even presented her
with a silver half gallon mug contain
ing 3 guineas. The house remained in
the possession Of her family for some
time, as Sir Richard Phillips, writing a
few years before its destruction, men
tiOns. After admitting that for upward
of thirty years he had never passed the
house without filling his pockets, he
goes on to say, "These buns have af
forded a competency and even wealth
to four generations of the same family,
and it is singular that their delicate
flavor, Iightness and richness have ney-
er been successfully initiated" When
RaneIagh was closed, the Bun House
declined in popularity, though as late

EARLY CLOSING
BY MERCHANTS

The carly closing of our stores for
the summer VIII not 20 into effect
until July 7th, the Monday succeeding
the Fourth The Clerks Union had
decided upon July Bird as the date for
closing at SIX o'clock, but this met
with some opposition ON the ground
that in view Of the holiday following,
July Bird will be very busy day in
the stores and closing at 6 O'Clock
would be attended with Inconvenience
to customers and loss to the merch-
ants. The day following the Fourth
will be Saturday the one day which
under the proposed terms forms an eX-
ception to early closing.
The merchants have not as yet all
signed the agreement. a few are still
waiting to see what their competitors
will do N the matter. Early closing,
during the summer however. has been
accomplished here in the past and
there is little doubt but what when
the 7th. of July arrives the merchants
will fall into line and close their
stores as desired.
The clerks deserve to succeed. Dur
ing their agitation of early closing
they have shown conservative and
deferential spirit, receding time and
again from their position in order to
bring their movement into harmony
with the views of their employers.
During the heat and the long days of
summer the position of clerk is by
no means an enviable one The few
hours of rest and recreation they ask
have no doubt been we'll earned by
their devotion to duty. They have
the sympathy of the public and the
merchants who fall in with early clos
ing follow a course that can not but
command approval.
