OLD NORTH CHIMES RING.
Bells Which Have Pealed for Great Historical Events Again Sounded.
BOSTON, Nov. 10.—The chime of bells in the tower of the Old North Church, Salem Street, which for 180 years has pealed in celebration of great historical events, again rang out today in celebration of the announced abdication of the German Emperor.
Patriotic airs were chimed from 10:15 to 10:45 A.M. These chimes were played before the Revolution by Peter Faneuil and Paul Revere. They pealed out the glad news when the Stamp Act was repealed in 1776, and informed Boston of the Declaration of Independence in the same year.
