BELFRY IN FIR TREE
OLDEST AS WELL AS OLDEST
IN UNITED STATES.
Situated in Seven Century Old Bit of
Timber, Eight Feet Thick, That
Forms Spire of a Church
at Tacoma, Wash.

Tacoma, Wash.-The oldest belfry in
the United States and one of the oldest
church towers in the world, is the spire
of ST. Peters Protestant Episcopal
church. in the outskirts of this city.
This church supplies also what is per-
haps the first case on record in which Q
congregation selected belfry and built
the rest of the church around 1t. AL
though the spire is made entirely OF
wood, it is now 700 years old, and will
probably be standing when many COM
paratively new iron and steel belfries
have been raZed.
Forty years ago the pioneers of Ia
coma organized a church society. They
selected a site for their place of worship
in forest of Douglas fir trees that skirt
ed the shore of Puget sound and
stretched inward for many miles. out
of these immense, shaggy-barked trees
that lowered upward for 200 feet with
out a branch below the upper half, they
chose one eight feet in diameter to serve
as the steeple.
When the branch bearing portion OF
the tree had been cut away to prevent
the falling of limbs in case of a storm,
there was left a bare trunk nearly 100
feet high. Beside it there was built
plain little structure. The bell was fast
ened to the tree and the little church,
with it's enduring steeple, was complete.
In later years the women of the con-
gregation planted English ivy at the
base of the tree. which in time not only
shrouded the steeple in thick green
cloak, but crept through the church win
dows until finally the inner walls and
ceiling were covered When the roof
had become moss grown St. Peters
formed picture of sylvan beauty more
appreciated by the artists who soon

The Papal Fla O.

The papal flag is comparatively un-
familiar outside of the Eternal city. The
war flag of the defunct temporal power
of the pope was white, and in its center
stood figures of st. Peter and st. Paul,
with the cross keys and tiara above
them. The flag of the merchant ships
owned by the subjects of the states of
the church is a curious combination
half yellow and half whit, with the de-
sign of the cross keys on the white. In
the banner used by the crusader king of
Jerusalem, Godfrey, the only tinctures
introduced were the two metals, gold
and silver, five golden crosses being
placed upon a silver field. This was done
with the intention of making the de
vice unique, as in all other cases it is
deemed false heradry to place metal on
metal.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Good News Comes from Almost Every
Branch of Industry.

New York, April 15.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Good news still predominates in
trade and industry. Easter business
is of large volume, dry goods, clothing,
footwear and all lines of wearing ap-
parel reporting an unusually good de-
mand, and shipping departments are
taxed to their full capacity in many
cases. The country as a whole is ex-
periencing more settled weather,
which is reflected in a better retail
distribution of merchandise. Jobbing
trade in goods for fall delivery is
broadening and there is more inclina-
tion to prepare for the future.
Manufacturers report less idle ma
chinery, the iron and steel industry
leading with an unprecedented output
of pig iron, yet consumption is also
above all records, for there is no ac-
emulation at the furnaces. Textile
mills are also well engaged and for
wardings Of footwear from Boston
make favorable comparisons with
every year except 1900.

the United States, against 225 last

LONG QUEST SUCCESSFUL
The Body of Admiral Paul Jones ls
Found After Lying 100 Years
in Paris Cemetery.

Paris, April 15.-Ambassador Porter
cabled to Washington last night an
nouncing the successful results of his
long search for the body of Paul
Jones. The body is in good state of
preservation considering that the in
terment took place over 100 years ago.
The circumstances leading to the
final discovery of the body are par
ticularly interesting. Gen. Porter has
conducted the search for five years
and when congress recently took no
action upon the presidents recommen-
dation for the expenses incident to the
search, the ambassador continued the
extensive labOrs at his own expense. A
large force of workmen has been en-
gagged night and day tunnelng and
-tunneling the old st. Louis
cemetery This constituted a huge
operation, embracing nearly a block
covered with buildings and requiring
a system of subterranean mining.
Hundreds of wooden caskets were
found, but not until Wednesday were
unearthed four leaden caskets which
gave promise of containing the body
Of the admiral. Three of them bore
plates designating the names of the
deceased. The fourth showed superior
solidity of workmanship. No plate
was found on this casket and it is sup
posed it was removed when another
coffin was superimposed on it. The
body was found to be well preserved,
owing to its being immersed in alco-
hol 1t was wrapped in a sheet with a
packing of straw and hay. Those pres

resemblance of the head to that on
