ANCIENT BELL ON
PARK HILL CHURCH
Was Hung in 1917 on Pres
byterian Church and Is
Still Used.

Special to The World.
TAHLEQUAH, Okla. March H.
With perhaps one exception the old
est church bell in Oklahoma is that
of the Presbyterian church at Park
Hill. In 1896 mission station was
established there and placed in
charge of the Rev. Samuel A.
Worcester. who, a native Of Vermont,
had early in the twenties Of the nine
teenth century began missionary
work among the Cherokees at New
Echota, the capital of the old Chero-
kee nation east of the Mississippi
river. On account of the troubles in
Georgia which preceded the removal
west of the main portion of the
Cherokees. the Reverend Worcester
came west several years before the
removal took place. and at Park Hill
resumed his work as missionary
and minister. For more than ten
years the school and church was
without a bell, but in 1S47 efforts
were put forth to procure the bell,
with such excellent results that one of
the finest in the southwest was pro-
cured after several months spent in
raising the necessary funds with
which to pay for it. The bell, sew
eral hundreds of pounds in weight,

byterian minister. at his own expense,
the bell was placed in its steeple
Here it hung until January 1856,
when the building, then used for the
Park Hill Presbyterian school, was
burned to the ground and the bell
melted into a shapeless mass. In
1889 this metal was sent to the orig
inal foundry and recast. 1t was then
hung in the belfry Of the new Park

that the bell used by the Masonic

mission was established years before
the mission at Park Hill, but this
original mission was not In Indian
territory. but in Arkansas territory, In
what now is Pope county. A band of
western Cherokees then lived In that
section Of Arkansas, but afterward
were removed to Indian territory. The
bell said to have been used at that
mission is small and can be heard
only for a short distance, while that
at Park Hill can be heard miles away,
its tone being deep and penetrating.

ITALY LIVES CHEAP.

ROME, Feb. li.-Italy Is said
to be the cheapest of the coun-
tries at war in which to live
cheaper even than neutral
Switzerland. Hotel rates are still
reasonable and house and apart
ment rents are even lower than
they were before the war. Food
prices have not increased as
much as In France. Germany
and England. This last men
toned condition Is due mainly
to the laws prohibiting the ex-
portation OF all foodstuffs. which
in a measure prevents specula-
ton and corners the market. 1t
Is pointed out that Italy Is still
largely an agricultural country
and produces ali she eats except
wheat
Contrary to the general belief,
water. not wine. is the national
drink Of Italy. The average
Italian drinks an unbelievable
quantity OF water. The water
consumption In Rome Is said to
be the largest of any city In the
world.
The only food product, the In
crease in the price OF which has
troubled the Italian stomach, is
macaroni. Its price has gone
from to 10 cents pound.
Eggs have remained stationary
in price.
The only seemingly insur-
mounta BILE difficulty OF the poor
lies In the cost Of coal for heat
ing and cooking. That fuel has
increased from "a cents the hun
dred pounds to rs cents.
