THE most interesting case OF tnir'

them being Matthew Arnold. A lady,
discovering the fact, declared that

Fairfax parish was created in 1855,
George Washington, then thirty-three
years of age, was one of its first YES
trymen. The church was finished in
1878, and at the dedication Colonel
Washington subscribed e36 los for a
pew, the highest price paid. In the
Vestry room the sexton displays the
record Of the purchase of the pew.
The Washington pew, a roomy, com.
Portable pew of the square type, with
seats running around three of its sides
and little wooden gate inclosing the
occupants, is preserved Just as 1t
looked when 1t was occupied by the
Washington family. On the rail Is a
silver plate inscribed with facsimile
Of Washington's autograph. The seat
Is now reserved for strangers. Nearly
every visitor to the church sits In the
pew for brief meditation while the
caretaker points out features Of the
interior. On the other side OF the
aisle, half way down the church, Is
the pew that was occupied by the Lee
family, marked with silver plate
bearing a facsimile Of the signature
of Robert Edward Lee, commandments
chief OF the Confederate army. In
front Of the church are two mural tab
let's containing the apostles creed and
the Lords prayer They have re-
manned unchanged from the early days
of the church and are In old-fashioned
English lettering with ''f's instead
of ISIS. The communion table, the
chancel rail, the reading desk and
chairs were all here in the days oil

In the cellar of the old hotel are
the dungeons in which captive Indians
were imprisoned and hanged and the

many months as a precaution against
Indian attack. The building is Of mas

interior is delightfully."- dilapidated
from the point Of view Of the anti

of the original furniture were In the
rooms, but they have been purchased
for a stage setting for a colonial
drama. A fine mahogany staircase IN
the main hall is a delightful feature OF
this colonial relic.

general"
A flight Of dark stone stairs leads
to the basement rooms, one OF which,

to have been connected with the river
bank by an underground passage
Nothing remains Of this subterranean
