liSHCd FIRST In 1860.
The oldest English newspaper is, though
few people know it, the London Gazette,
which was, on its first publication on Nov
IA, 1865, known MS the Oxford Gazette
from the fact of the parliament sitting at
Oxford. This name was changed on Feb
5, 1866, to the present one. But though
the London Gazette contains some items
of much interest to certain people, such
as those who have received "honors' at
tho hands of royalty or those whose bank
ruptcies are announced, it is not a news
paper i'm the usual sense of the term-that
is as being read goncally by the public.
The honor of being the Oldest newspaper
of this class in tho British Isles, and hence
probably in the world may be unhesita-
tingly awarded to Berow's Worcester
Journal which made its appearance in
1890, ten years before the beginning of the
eighteenth century. 1t has always had a
wide circulation among the higher classes
of its district and is today as vigorous as
ever. But when it first came out it was
not under its present name, and this fact
OF is of importance in considering its
claim to the premier honors Of the journal
istic world,
Perhaps we ought to award the palm Of
being the doyen Of English journals to the
Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury,
still published weekly at Stamford. This
paper has now, as ever, truly great cir
culation and an enormous influence in the
eastern midland district. Its title is exact
ly the same today as it was on the day 10
was first published, ia years ago. Hence
this important factor should almost assign
to it the first place among extant news
papers.
There is in the Leicester museum a copy
Of the 1919 issue, consisting of four pages
DENY quarUo, it's style that of tic old news
letter. In July, 1865, its circulation had
become IA, 600 "a week, the highest outside
Of London. Its price was then twopcnce, but
is now a penny, with the circulation OF
| $4,000 weekly. Thomas Cooper, the IA.
nous Chartist poet, was on the staff in his
younger days The political complexion OF
this celebrated paper is Liberal.

tion, we might direct his attention to a little

AN INSULT TO AMERICANS.

One might suppose from the business like
orders transmitted by His Dadish Majesty
tho King of Greece to his loyal American
subjects, that the royal European gentleman
exercised over our citizenship a really eK.
tensive authority without oul knowledge,
says the New York Advertiser. He blunty
notifies all Greeks belonging to the reserves
for the past twenty years to quit their bust
ness and assist him I'M embrOiling Europe in
war without excuse OF delay, and also with
out any apparent concern, whether they are
American citizens or not An American
contingent in his army is to be- quite a
feature.
This is interesting, Next we suppose, we
shall hear from the Crctes and Arlbians,
from poutus and Asia, and tho awellers
about 1Iesopotamia, orders to other sections
of the American population to shut up their
stores and offices and go East to do a little
fighting for the Old World monarchies. The
Greek Consul General is equally retieent on
the subject. Once Greek, he seems to think,
always a Greek.
Isn't it just q triAe insulting 10 American
citizenship to have an these cut-throat
European princelings regarding our citizen
