death Of the queen OF England. So IT hap
pened that all things that could be de-
Gently done in anticipation of the sad end
had been disposed Of and all was in readi-
ness for the execution OF the fOrmalities
which are indispensable TO such events.
When the end came, il found appropriate
measures Of coincidence framed and even
orders ready for execution looking to the
half masting of the flags over the execu
tive departments and the carrying out OF
the usual formalties. The half masting
of the national ensign was an unusual
tribute to the memory Of the deceased
sovereign. 1t is said that this has been
done rarely on the occasion Of the funeral
Of some great worlds ruler, but never be

that everywhere bells have been tolled
and public performances and private
functions suspended.
In Dublin the expressions of regret
were universal. The bells of St. Patrick's
cathedral were tolled. Earl Cadogan. the
lord lieutenant, was absent from Dublin
yesterday. but il is expected that he will

The bell tolled at ST. Paurs cathedral
