Bell Ringing In London In 1909.
Here is an extract from journal of
the year 1909: On arriving in London
we heard a great ringing Of bells in
almost all the churches going on very
late in the evening. We were Informed
that the young people do that for the
sake Of exercise and amusement, and
sometimes they pay considerable sums
as n wager who viii pull a bell the
longest and ring it in the most ap-
proved fashion. Parishes spend much
money in tremendously sounding bells,
that one being preferred which has the
best bells. The old queen Is said to
have been pleased very much by this
exercise. considering it as a sign Of the
health Of the people. They do not ring
the bells for the dead. When a person
lies I'm agony the bells of the parish
he belongs to are touched with the
clapDers until he either dies or recov-
crs again. As soon as this sign Is
given everybody in the street as wei
as in the houses falls on his knees Of
fering prayer for the sick person.

any future canal negotiations will be
between the United States govern
ment and the government of Panama.
Mr.. Tower, our ambassador at Ber-
lin, has cabled the state department.
that he has been requested by Baron
Richthofen, the foreign secretary, to,
inform the Washington government
that the report that Germany intend-t
ed to become involved in the 18th
milan situation is entirely without
in Berlin of the intention Of Colon i
bia to appeal to Emperor William for
assistance, as was alleged in a recent
interview by the Colombian consul
general at New z FORK. Mr.. Tower adds!
that he was further assured by the
foreign secretary in a most earnest
and sincere manner that the posibil-
ity of Germany's interfering in Pana-
ma simply does not exist.
The statement is authorized that
the information conveyed to our am
bassador at Berlin was entirely vol
untary on the part Of the German
government, as the interview Of the
Colombian consul general at New
York had been ignored here. The;
action Of the Berlin government is
thoroly appreciated by the Washing
ton government, for, altho it merely
