KNELL OF ROYALTY.
The great bell of St. Paul's was
not tolled for Prince Henry of
Battenberg, because he was not
in the line of descent from any
English sovereign, says the Westminster
Gazette. This honor is
paid only to a member of the
royal family who could under any
conceivable circumstance succeed
to the throne; though it may be
doubted whether the bell would
toll for a royal infant not in the
direct line of succession. This rule
does not apply to the consort of
the sovereign, or the heir apparent
or of a Prince or Princess on the
steps of the throne. The booming
of the great bell of St. Paul's was
the first intimation which the citizens
of London received of the
death of the Prince Consort,
which occurred at 11 o'clock on
the night of Saturday December
14, 1861.
Outside the royal family the
only persons for whom the bell
tolls are the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Bishop of London,
the Dean of St Paul's, and the
Lord Mayor of London dying in
his year of office. The bell tolled
is not "Great Paul," but the old
great bell on which the hours are
struck. On the occurrence of a
death in the royal family the
Home Secretary at once communicates
with the Lord Mayor, desiring
him to convey the news to
the Dean of St. Paul's, with a re-.
quest that the great bell may be
THE HONOLULU TIMES
tolled. The bell is then tolled at
intervals of a minute for an hour.
The last occasion was on the
death of the Duke of Clarence, on
January 14, 1892. The Duke died
at 9:15 a. m., and the bell was
tolled from 11 till 12. At the
funeral of Canon Liddon, in September,
1890, "Great Paul," which
is much the deeper and more sonorous
bell of the two- was made
available, as by the rules the old
great bell could not be used.

Honolulu from 1865 until a few

SPEECH ON RETIRING
FROM THE SENATE.
Now gentlemen, I did not get up
here just to make you laugh. " I
want to tell you something that will
not make you laugh. Down in Mississippi

home and go to my bed to sleep and
dream sweet dreams of the hours
I have spent here in the Senate, I
sleep with the sword of Damocles
hanging over my head. We have a
problem to settle there that I want
you to help me settle. I do not ask
you to agree with me, but 1 ask you
to talk with me and listen to what I
have to say, and, in kindness and
friendship, I want to see Mason and

I am now going to say something
that is unpopular in my section of
the country. If I were an office
seeker I might be tempted to do
wrong, but I always did say before
my people what I thought was
right. I think that Mr. Rockefeller
is a good man, and am going to
think so until some one shows me
that he has done wrong. I see his
employes very often and I never
saw one of them who did not speak
well of him. I am told that he
never had a strike among his
I am told anothei thing
that he has given more millions
I do not think much of him for that,
because he had more than he had
any use for, but he has given more
of them to the poor, to charity, to
the churches, to education, and to
build hospitals all over the country
where they are needed for Ills
where they can go when
they are sick and be cared for, than
any other man. If anybody in the
United States does not like that let
them put it in their pipes and smoke
it. (Laughter.) I have said it. -

The great Duke of Wellington-when

Irishman, is said to have observed
that a man is not a horse because
he had been born in a stable, and
William Thompson might equally
exclaim that one is not a fish if
he happened to be born at sea. It
