H i
~ London, Sept. 18.?In a manner i
both dlgmtfted and picturesque, and
closely in accord with ancient traditions
and precedents. Sir Dafld Burnett,
senior member of the Board of
Aldermen, was today elected Lord
Mayor of London for the term of one
year, beginning with November 9.
For Londoners this annually repeated
qaaist hot never varying cere,
mo try has foot mhch of the charm of
novelty; aome of the younger folk
are pves Inclined to poke fan nt It
in a miM And Inoffensive way; bat to
strangers visiting 'London tbe ceremonies
neeompanfing the election of
a new Lot4 Mayor are invariably interesting
and even lancinating.
Among the throngs in the vicinity, of
Guild Hail during the election ceremonies
were many Americans.
The interest of the day had Its center
in the Guild Hall, where the election
took "place. Outside the ht?<
toric building a barrier had been
ciDtiou, Willi it Kvre or uiuro 01
sates, inscribed with the names of the
various guilds or "City Companies."
In accordance with an ancient custom
sweet herbs were strewn ouUlde
of the sates, "to preserve the civic
dignitaries from the fevers of the
ooWd."
The members of the city companies
assembled at the Chnrch of Old
Jewry, where they attended the ens- ?
tomary services preceding the elec- 1
lion. From the ehvrch they walked
tn stately pro c seal on to the adjoining
Guild Hall. Jkttet they were assembled
in tlm big hall of thm buifding,
the towp crier solemnly announced
m It ted to remain, while all others
menf. Even the retiring ?jo*d iThyor
and hla celleagues of the Board of
Aldermen were thus excluded from
v the privacy of the momentous gathering.
Then the common sergeant from
the hurt nee of Guild Hall read the
names of the two candidates available
for election, 81r David Burnett and
81r T. Vanaittart Bowater. The name
of the senior alderman. Sir
David Burnett, was received with
cries of acclamation from the liverymen,
while the name of the other
candidate was greeted with srlea of
"Next Year." This really settled the
mautf^.knt in accordance with the
|PrMHpp|rvh>ee a show of hands was
ttkwui the common sergeant declared
that the choice of the the liveryman
had fkUfcn on S'r David Bur<1

the action of the ltrerymen. After a
short deliberation the retiring Lord

Sir David Burnett was born In

of a firm rf surveyors. He was

The CMtV of I^ndnn nnr which tha 1
Lord Mavcr 1b elected to rale, la not
great metropolitan London, the largest
city In the world, bnt a very insignificant
part of It. It lies between
the town of London and Westminster
Abbey, la about one mile square and
contains probably 50,000 inhabitants.
The area eoc'.oaea, however, a number
of important institutions, first among
them being the world-famous Bank
of England, behind the walla of
whieb reposes at -all -times a reserve
f 100.0
every year. From the immemorial it
has been the custom that/the senior'
member of the Board of Aldermen
was sleeted Lord - Mayor, after he
had served his term as sheriff. The
salary of the Lord aMyor la $50,000
a r.*ar and hla duties are principally
representative and ornamental. The
Lord Mayor la by duty bound to attend
an incredible number of public
and semi-public dinners and other
public functions at which he represents
the City proper, not, however,
the greet metropolitan corporation
which is governed by tbe London
County Council, a thoroughly modern
Institution, the functions of
which are not-surrounded with mediaeval
pomp and ceremonial sad
lack altogether the spectacular and
jplctureqsue features of the ancient
city government.

Junior., Protest. j
Feeling that a grievous wrong had g
bee^ committed against them hs a |
class in such a wholesale expulsion of;
their members for being onlookers j c
and parftclpators in last session's
hazing, the junior class had a called I
meeting today to take steps for in-jt
vestlgating the expulsion of members j ^
of the class. A committee of five was |
appointed to examine into the matter. I
The student sentiment as expressed f
in this meeting was that m^ibers of, (
the claaa should not be subject to dls-1 g
cipline for last session's conduct, but:(
should have received their punishment
at the time of commitment of ^
the act. This charge is made against t
Dr. Venable.
