WashingtOn's Pesc.

Christ church in Alexandria, Va,
some six miles below Washington, is TN
object Of much interest. 1t was COM
pleted in 1773, taking the place of a
chapel that could not have possessed
much elegance, as it sold for 81 los.
The year prior to leaving the chapel
Col George Washington, then thirty
three years of age, was chosen one of
The vestrymen. His name is affixed to
thecontract for the new church, which
ior minuteness of specification would
serve as a model for modern building
committees.
James Parsons agreed to build the
church for f6O0. ''The shingles were

Of an inch thick, eighteen inches long
and to show six inches" The mortar

JAcKsoNvILLE, FLA, Jan. IA severe
shock of earthquake was felt here about 11:45
last night, which lasted about thirty seconds,
and appeared to move from southeast to north
west. Buildings were violently shaken, crack
ing, ratified and doors thrown open. The
shock was felt at st. Augustine and down tn G
gulf coast from Punta Rassa to st. Marks, 81
well as over the interior portion Of the State.
Nothing of the kind was ever experienced
here before.

side wall was to be one-half lime and
one-half sand. "The arches and pedi-
ments to be in the Tuscan order. The
altar-piece. pulpit and canopy to be
lonic.' But it appears that contractors
even in those early days had some Of
the failings OF modern times. James
Parsons failed to fulfill his contract,
and the vestry made an agreement with
Col. John Carlyle for the additional
sum of f220 to complete the work. On
the 9th Of February, 1878, the church
having been formally delivered to the
vestry, ten Of the pews were offered for
sale. FnsT 13f'-.ag.f,
Pew No. 6 was purchased by Gen.
Washington for a36 los, the highest
price, paid, al, H'" ,,,. s.9 ,,. 'sef5
These pews were square, with seats
on three sides and the back nearly as
high as the head Of the occupant. But
in 1916 and 1917 some Of the old square
pews were divided, and the remainder
in 1921, Washington's among the rest,
but in 1887 it was restored to its former
shape. It was again divided, but soon
restored to its original form and SO still
remains. During the war the city be-
ing in possession of the Union troops
the "Stars and Stripes" Aoated over
this pew. tGsst8t
In 1904 George Washington Parke
Gusts, Mrs. Washington's grandson,
whom Gen. Washington adopted, pre-
sented to the parish Washington's Bible,
published in 1772, and now in use on
the altar. ..itisi
The buildining has been little by lit
tie remodelled to suit modern tastes.
The old pew Of Washington is allow
ed to retain its original shape, except
the back is lowered like the rest. Visi-
tors to Washington go in large numbers
to- attend Sunday morning service at
Christ church and sit in the pew where
Washington worshipped.
