Solemn Tribute Paid to Old Liberty Bell "John Marshall, then chief Justice the United States, died In Phlladel phl'a on July G, 1835," saya an old newspaper account. "On Jnly 8, exactly 59 years to the day of the anniversary of the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence to the people, his re mains were borne from Philadelphia to his Dative state, Vir ginia, for burial. During the funeral solemnities the Liberty bell, while slowly tolling, cracked through its side, forever silenced but not less elo quent In its mute patriotic appeal. It had lived out its life (82 years) of usefulness as men live out their lives. Its active work was done; it had called the people together to perserve their rights under the British crown; it had rung out its clamorous defiance on the great day of the proclamation of the Declaration of their Independ ence ; it bad glorified all anniversaries of that Independence. Henceforth, it remains in its ancient place, the si lent symbol of not only 'Liberty throughout all the land,' but through out the world."
