St. Sepnlchxe's Bell Has Bring For
Condemned Prisoners For
Three Centuries.
The traditions of nigh 300 years
are about to bo violated by the
charity commissioners of the city
of London, who have ordered that
hereafter the bell of the church of
St. Sepulchre be no -more tolled
during the hanging of condemned
persons in the Newgate prison,
near by; or, at least, that if the
bell be tolled, it be at the expense
of the parish or the friends of the
criminals, and that the fund from
which payment for that last serv
ice to tho dying has been made
since 1605, be devoted hereafter
to some other charitable purpose
in the discretion ot the church au
thorities. 'Fifty pounds was tho
bequest made in the year named
by Robert Dowe, citizen , and
merchant tailor, to pay, as a tablet
on the right hand side of tho altar
in the church still records, "for
ringiug the greatest bell in the
church on the day tho condemned
prisoners are executed, and for
other purposes forever concerning
such condemned prisoners."
Tho "other services" were the
most interesting thing about the
affair. On the night beforo the
hangings the clerk of the church
had to ring a bell under the win
dows of the cells of the condemned
men, and attracting their attention
repeat certain warning rhymes ap
propriate to their approaching
taking off. Having thus awak
ened in their bosoms thoughtsof
things eternal, he was to go away,
and the next morning to stand in
front of the church when the cart
with the condemned passed on its
way to Tyburn, and to present to
each criminal a nosegay. Then he
had again to ring the bell that he
bad used the night before, and re
peat certain prayers, with an ad
juration to all good people to join
him in beseeching mercy for the
souls of the condemned. There
were hangings every week in those
days, and in order that the clerk
might not grow careless and neg
lect to fulfil these last offices for
tho condemned with proper for
mality and unction, the beadle of
the Merchant Tailors' Hall was di
rected to bepresent and suppnisc
the ceremonies, and it was pro
vided that for this he should ic
ceive an "honest stipend."
When the gallows tree was re-
"moved from Tyburn and hanging
took place within the jail, the nose
gay presentation and the praying
in front of tho church were
dropped, and in time tho custom
of bell ringing and exhortation
under the cell windows, fell into
disuse. Tho tolling of the great
bell, however, has always been
maintained, and there is some ob
jection to Us "discontinuance even
at this day. The original 50,
meantime, has grown to a much
greater sum, "and its incotno will
now, probably, be devoted to tho
aiding of deserving prisoners upon
their release from Newgate, or to
some other sen ice more in accord
with modern ideas than the mourn
ful tolling of a huge bell or the
presenting of posies to criminals
on their way to be hanged.
So identified has the- church of
St. Sepulchre become with these
last offices for the condemned that
its name is popularly supposed to
have some connection with the
dismal ceremonials. The church.
however, was built and named,
long before Newgate prison was
ever thought of, and its being tho
nearest church is the only reason
why it was chosen as the shrine
for saying masses for the souls of
the hanged. It was founded in
the thirteenth ceutury, renewed
400 years later, and after thegreat
Bra the present structure was built
by the famous Wren.

The Agricultural College.
The recent decision of the su
preme court in the state agricul
tural college case leaves tho state
virtually without a title to the
lands upon which tho college is
located.
, Tho question of ownership is a
mooted one between the church
and the state, with a decision of
tho supreme court favorable to tho
former.
As the matter now stands, no
additional improvements or appro
priations will be made by tho state
for the support or maintenance
of their institution. From
all parts of tho state peti
tions are pouring in praying that
no more money be expended
upon this college and farm, tho
title to which is clouded. Ring
ing resolutions embodying the
same prayer are being passed by
the several farmers' organizations
and granges throughout tho state,
By the laws of the state of Oro
gon the state buildings and insti
tutions shall all be located at the
capital. As Oregon must have, an
agricultural college within her
borders an effort is being made to
secure tho removal of this experi
ment station to Salem, where it
rightfully belongs. The matter of
the establishment of this college
here is'being agitated by the Sa
lem grange, which will be ably
seconded by many of the granges
and a majority of the- citizens
throughout the state. Salem

A sensation has been caused by
the pope's refusal to bless medals
and reliquaries sent to Rome by
an Irish priest, who intended them
for distribution in Ireland. "I
cannot bless them. The people of
Ireland are disobedient. They
seem to prefer the gospel of Dil
lon and O'Brien to thr- gospel of
Jesus Christ."
