pecially to this city and section Of
the State.
The GAZETTE is now the oldest
paper in the State, ard with few
exceptions the Oldest in the coun-
try, and its usefulness has been de.
monstrated and appreciated during
the NINETY. ONE YEARS of its exist.
ence. In its columns has ALWAYS
been found mirror of passing
events and the careful chronicling
OF the history CT what is going on
in the world has ever been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the house
hold, while in the counting room
and work shop it has become in.
valuable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it is SO
close to Washington, the great cen.
tire OF news, enjoys daily the bene.
fit of the ASSOCIATED PRESS DIS.
PATCHES from every part Of the
world; hence its patrons can read
from its columns in the evening
what has transpired that day in ev-
cry portion of the United States as
we'll as from every part of the hab.
liable globe. Consequently it is
an everyday occurrence for the
GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier than
the morning papers.
Correspondence from Washing
ton, Richmond and every sactlon Of
the State is published regularly,
and all events of interest occurring
within the bounds of the Common
wealth are to be found in the COL
umns of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes
full and complete history of every
thing that occurs in and near the
city, and this feature will, as ever,
receive careful attention.
Another feature that serves to
make the GAZETTE great desider-
alum with merchants is its after
noon market reports from all the
great centres of the country.
The GAzETTE's circulation in this
city is now larger than at any time
in its history and is steadily increas-

embraces every variety Of the styles Of
English eccleslastic architecture from
the rudest Saxon to the most rehned
Gothic art. IL contains greater NUM-
ber, more famous and richer tombsi
shriues and efilgfes than any other ca
thedral church Of Britain. Since its
erection, out Of Cantorbnry's ninety
archbishops eighteen have been canon
lied, nine dignitaries have been APP
,pointed cardinals and twelve have
been made lord chancellors. In It's his
tory, construction and all details Of ca
thedral enrichment II lacks no element

But 20 me there Is an emptiness,

lation, indeed dissertation, II that
word may DO used. about this vast
edifice which reminds one Of tre-
menduOus mausoleum rather than q
beautiful, venerable and tenderly kept

the entire cathedral is this saddening
impression modified. Even most Of the
Inscriptions on tombs and brasses are
OF the stay traveller, and reverenceW

fronted with primacy, even In the eter-
nal set speeches Of the dead. Tho
cloisters, though very great in extent,
are neither so beautiful nor reposcful as
those at Gloucester. The chapter house
isloity lonely and drcar. The prcatun-
dercroft or crypt, where the Huguenot
weayers worshiped, suggests the
charnel house. The choir screen is of
stone and the archbishop's throne is OF
stone, instead OF the beautiful carved
oak which so distinguishes many Eng
fish cathedrals, and there Is no great
glowing east window above the high
altar, with its flood of warmth and
light, as noble emblem Of the source Of
light and life eternal.
All this may bo deemed captiOus by
