FOR ALEXANDRIA, FOR VIRGINIA AND
FOB DEMOCRACY.
Features-Associated Press Dis.
patches, Washington and Richmond
Correspondence, Daily Market Re.
ports, Local News and matters Of
interest to Virginia, but more es.
pecially to this city and section Of
the State.
The GAZETTE is now the Oldest
paper in the State, and 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 a mirror Of passing
events and the careful chronicling
of the history of 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
well as from every part of the hab-
table 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 section 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 a 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-
ing, especially among those who
consult its advertising columns be-

A Missionary Complains that Fslsehooss are
Tod About the Evils Of OPIUM.

The Rev. W. F. Hoare missionary connect
ed with the Wesleyan Mission College. Madras,
has written to the English newspapers TO pro-
test against the Incorporate language used by
persons who are agitating In favor OF sup
pressing tho opium traflic. Ho says their
statements are wildly exaggerated. and he
protests that such erroneous pamphlets ms
are being circulated by the thousand are UNI
Just TO the people Of India, and can advance
no good cause. lIe speaks OF ono pamphlet
which Is circulating largely both In England
and in India In which the Madras Presidency
Is represented as consuming enough opium to
poison It's entire population three times
over. Statistics relating to some other parts
Of India appearing In tho samo pamphlet
represent tho consumption OF n sufficient
quantity to poison the entire population thirty
times over. lie shows that tho fact is that in
the Madras Presidency only an average 1uan-
tity OF $4,000 pounds OF opium Is imported
annually for n population Of more than 3d.
100000. Hethinks that tho temperance party
in England would he in high CLEO II only

Tho anti-opium pamphlets al so contain har.
Hoare says he Inns visited 10th tho very worst
and tn" very best dons of Madras. The worst
don IN the city, he says. is n ilthi howell which
would certainly shock any one who had
never known any less comfort md noatncss
than an English drawing room displays But
even In this den he says tho place seems do
cent enough to one who remembers tho reek.

were awake and quiet. The proprietor OF
the place. in compliance with law. always
declines to take wearing apparel. household
furniture etc. In exchange for opium. and sells
only limited quantity at IA time-a toas
weight-considerahly less than an ounce He
allows no bad characters in his shop and re-
ports to the police when my of them visit i'm.
The Government inspector counts the number
visits to this resort. The missionary thinks
that II this low. opium den is compared with an
English beer shop the contrast is in favor Of
the opium den. ffo believes in practical efforts
to repress the excessive use Of opium. but pro-
teRts against violent efforts to entirely root
out tho practice aud says tho prohibition Of
the traffic is impossible
