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, aud with few
exceptions the Oldest il 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 chroniclinp
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 sc
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 TRANSFERRED that day in ev-
|ery 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 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 a
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-
ing' especially among those who
consult its advertising columns be-
fore purchasing.
The COUNTRY EDITION is.
nearly as large as that of the daily.
This edition is sent out three times
a week.
The advantages of advertising
in this paper are apparent.

A Chemist Socks Protection.

WASHINGTON, Feb 15-Hickman p.
Rodgers of st. Louis representing Battle
& Co., and the manufacturing chemists
of st. Louis, appeared before the COM
mittee on patents to advocate Mr..
ONeill's bill providing a penalty for
counterfeiting trademarks Mr. Rodg-
ers had number of bottles labeled,
which he exhibited to the committee.
Some of the stuff in these bottles, it was
alleged, was poisonous and dangerous to
public health and public comfort. He
asserted that quack doctors and quack
medical cOmpounders made it a practice
to counterfeit the labels of reputable
chemists and palm off poisonous concoc-
tons on the public In the course of his
remarks he defined his position to the
committee to be not so much i'll the in
terest of protection to the manufacturers
of chemicals as to the public at large,
who are humbugged by counterfeit pre-
sentiments of legitimate medicines, wares
and goods.

LEATENwoRTH. Kas.. Feb l5.-On the
night of Oct. s. 1890, David Z. Davis,
now serving life sentence in the Kansas
penitentiary. murdered his wife in this
city for the purpose of inheriting her
property. A suit has been brought in
the district court against the administra-
tor of the murdered wUman's estate,
which presses the question us yet unde-
cided by the supreme court, whether a
man can inherit from his wife, when, by
his own hand, he murders her. Davis
attorneys are made parties to the suit.
because Davis gave them mortgage to
secure their fees after the murder and
before his conviction. The case comes
to trial i'll April.
