A Famous Old Church.

/ AT Alexandria, Va, stands an ancient
church in nearly its original condition,
Christ church, whose architect bore the
name Of Wren-not, however, Sir Chris
TOPPER. 1t was completed in 1878. In
November. 1855, the vestry, of whom
George Washington was one, levied an
assessment Of 81, 1876 pounds Of tobacco
to build two churches. Christ church
being one. The specifications called for
shingles Of Juniper, mortar to be two
thirds lime and one third sand, the
pediments to be in the Tuscan, and
altar, pulpit and canopy in the Ionic,
order. Washington was the purchaser
Of pew No. 5, for e36 los.
The old records show some curious
entries: Two pounds ten shillings was
collected Of Bryan Fairfax in 1910 for
killing deer out of season. and
Thomas Lewis was fined shillinRs for
Hunting on the Sabbath" The money
thus collected went for the support Of
the poor, the lame and the blind, and
buried the dead. The old records show
that seats were assigned according to
rank OF for special reasons. One Susan
nab Edwards ohiciated as SEXTON, to the
entire satisfaction Of the congregation.
The old edifice had neither chimney nor
fireplace until 1919, foot stoves furnish
ing the only warmth. The most con-
spicuous families in the early history Of
Virginia were worshipers at Christ
lchurch-the Adamses, Herberts, Gus
tises. Blackburns, Carlyles, Muirs,
Broadwaters. Alexanders and others
sqrally prominent.
General Robert e. Lee attended Sum
lay school and was baptized and, oon-:
6rmed in this church, and q tablet to
his memory adorns the eastern wall.
During the occupancy Of Alexandria
BY the Federal troops the rector and
many Of the parish fed within the Con-
federate lines. The church was held by
the military authorities. A large mound
in the churchyard marks the resting
place Of 81 Confederate soldiers who
died in Federal hospitals in Alexandria.

Afa. Nack's Story OF the Killing Of Gul.
d-usupps Il Denied.
NEW YORK. Nov. 8O.-After some
preliminary testimony by other wit
nesses Martin Thorn took the stand in
his own defense in the Guldensuppe
murder trial.
Beginning with the statement that
he came to America II years ago, the
prisoner said his real name was Tor.
ceswisky and briefly related the facts Of
his life up to the time he met Mrs.
Mack, l8 months ago. Guldensuppe
was boarding with Mrs. Mack at that
time.
II rented a furnished room from her
at $2a week." said Thorn. Later I
understood Guldensuppe was her hus.
band. She first made love to me and I
returned her love. I was very fond Of
her and loved her up to the moment
she took the witness stand on my first
trial"
The prisoner then told how he sup.
planted the bath rubber in Mrs. Nack's
affections and described the row he had
with Guldensuppe in consequence last
February. During this row Gulden-
snppe caught hold Of him. Thorn held
q revolver which went OF accidentally.
Then Guldensuppe took the pistol away
from him and gave him q beating. The
prisoner left the house and went to q
hospital Mrs. Mack met him after.
wards very often an d they went to
places of amusement. She said che was
sorry that Guldensuppe had hurt him,
but that he must not heed that. Thorn
then told in his own way what Mrs.
Mack had said to him afterwards. The
court directed Mr.. Howe not to lead the
witness.
''Mrs. Mack told me-" said Thorn,
''that she wished to leave Guldensuppe
and live in some quiet place. We Wis.
tied the Woodside cottage and, as it
seemed q suitable place, we hired the
cottage. Ipaid the $l5 and got the
key. On June "a I gave the key to
Mrs. Mack, as che said she wanted to
do some cleaning at the cottage. About
II or 10 o'clock on Friday morning,
June %. Mrs. Mack met me OF the door.
She said, Il have Guldensuppe up
stairs I asked her what he was doing
there. She replied: He is dead; have
shot him. She then requested me to
help her to dispose Of the body"
Thorn's story Of the disposal Of the
body did not differ materially from that
told by Mrs. Mack in her confession.

JETT1sONED THE FLOUR.

Steamer Couldn't Carry That and Whisky,
So the Flour Had TO Go.
TACOMA, WASH, Nov. 30.-The Led
gers special correspondent at Skaguay
met the members Of the Dalton party
who just came from Dawson City,
headed BY Jack Dalton, Joe w. Boyle
Of Woodstock, Ont, and w. @. Gales,
known as ''Swift Water Bill"
When interviewed concerning pres
ent conditions at Dawson City and other
interior points, Mr.. Da.ton stated that
gold is plentiful, but food Is very
scarce. He does not, however, believe
that actual starvation will in many in.
stances occur, but has no doubt that
much privation will exist. There is
some feeling against the two large com.
panies operating there, on accouns Of
their inability to cope with the situa-
tiol successfully. It is reported by Mr..
Boyle that when the Marguerite came
up the Yukon in September she was
unable to proceed with her full cargo
beyond Fort Yukon and left there most
of the -four aboard, bringing into Daw.
son large amount Of whisky, presum.

Must Get Out or starvs.
John w. Brauer, the United States
mail carrier, who left Dawson Sept. ~,
said: ssThere is only one salvation for
the miners who are now at Dawson
City, and that 10 for them to undertake
the awful winter trip from Dawson to
Fort Yukon-40O miles. Just as sure
as the stars shine terrible suffering will
be the fate Of the Dawson miner unless
he leaves there before spring. When I
left Dawson the men who were there
had on an average four months food
supply., Some did not have months
steHay and some had four or five. The
restaurant closed the night I left. It
had been selling nothing but beefsteak
for which the hungry PAID q. so. When
the people realized that the boats would
be unable to get up the river they knew
that starvation threatened them and
the great stampede began"
No Sympathy for Late Corners.
Thomas Magee, ST., the well known
capitalist of San Francisco, in an inter.
view said:
'The excitement over the failure of
the steamers to bring food to Dawson
continued when our party left. The
police took charge for two days of the
stores and warehouses Of the North.

have not much sympathy with those
who are short because Of the fact that
the majority Of these latter went in

The organisation Of hunting parties for
