OME day when you are rummaging
through an old trunk in the attic
or examining that bunch of old
papers left you by your father or
grandfather and you come across
a newspaper which Is yellowed
with age, don't become too excited
if you discover that it's a copy of
the Ulster County Gazette for Jun-
uary 4, 1800, and that it contains
an account of the funeral of George Washing
ton. And don't report the discovery of this
“rare old newspaper” ditor of the local
paper and expect him mething
it for his paper, nor ask him to find out
how much it's worth f you do, ye
likely to be disappointed. For the chances of
its being a “genuine, original Ulster County
Cazette” are nj ximately one in a million

a curiosity and no more
This edition of the Ulster County Gazette has
been called “the most famous of all American
historical ghosts™ and it has taken nearly a
century to lay that ghost. It is true that there
once was such a paper, that it was established
May 5, 1708, at Kingston, N. Y., by Samuel
Freer and his son, Samuel 8. Freer, both
staunch Federalists In the early days of the
Republie, and that in the edition of January 4,
1800, it did devote a large amount of space to
the account of Washington's funeral, 3ut the
Ulster County Gazette went out of existence
in 1822 and of the total edition (probably not
more than 300 copies) for that date most of
them went the way of any newspaper after
it has been read. A few probably were saved
by those who are accustomed to preserve news
papers containing an account of an important
historical event but even these copies seem to
have disappeared eventually,
How then to account for the thousands of
“reproductions” or “reprints” which have
flooded the country and which many possessors
believe to be “originals”? As a matter of fact,
the making of reproductions began as far back
as 1825. According to the best evidence ob-
tainable, reprints of the January 4, 1800, edition
were issued from the shop of the People's Ad:
vocate, published in Kingston by Samuel 8.
Freer (who had started that paper In 1824), as
& quarter century memorial to Washington and
were first offered for sale on July 4, 1825. In
1848 another edition of reprints was Issued In
honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the found-
ing of the paper and again in 1850-—-the fiftieth
year after Washington's death,
Other reprints probably appeared during the
fifties and sixties but the real flood began in
1876. In that year the Centennial exposition in
Philadelphia revived Interest in the Revolution,
In Washington and in American history, in gen.
eral, and there were several reprints of the
famous Ulster County Gazette hy printers who
saw 8 chance In this to make some extra money
and 0 turned out tens of thousands of
copies, One of them, a certain Walter Gilliss,
Is said to have had the contract for supplying
them for sale on the exposition grounds and
more than 100,000 copies were sold at five
cents each. In fact they were distributed as
souvenirs of the exposition by the armful. So
if your father or your grandfather or any other
member of your family attended the Centennial
exposition that year, the chances are that the
copy of the Gazette which you have just found
in that old trunk was one of the Gilliss re
prints,
The issuing of reproductions did not end in
1876, however. It has been going on icerrily
ever since as recently as 1923

ich 80 famous had the Ulster County Ga-
zeite and iis many reprints become that years
ago efforts were made to learn if there was
in existence anywhere a genuine, original copy
of the paper. Naturally, hundreds of copies
were produced as originals but all of them
were soon proved to be reproductions. Finally
authorities on the subject were ready to declare
that “not a single genuine, original copy of the
Ulster County Gazette for January 4, 1800, is
now in existence.”
And then the impossible happened! In No-
vember, 1000, the Library of Congress received
an inquiry regarding three issues of the Gazette
—December 28, 1799, and January 4 and January
11, 1800. Several years previous to that time
Clarence 8, Brigham of the American Antiqua-
rian society had been told of the existence of
three original issues of the Gazette but had been
unable to locate them. The dates of these were
the same as the dates on those reported to the
Library of Congress, The Library of Congress
knew of this and was not slow in putting two
and two together, The result was that it se-
cured from thelr owner, Mrs. Mary Crawford
Lydon, descendant of Peter Decker, a -Revolu-
tionary soldier who lived in Ulster county near
Kingston, the three originals and they are now
in the national library. So at last a famous
historical ghost was laid and it was proved that
there WAS an original Ulster County Gazelte
for January 4, 1800, In existence,
And now as to the method of telling an "orig-
inal” from a “reproduction.” There is one sim-
ple test. Look at the second line of the heading
and see whether or not there is a comma after
the word “County.” If there is none, that copy
of the paper is probably an original. A genuine
copy must also have the following reading for
page one, column four, line one: “Command the
town: and notwithstanding.” Other qualifiea-
tions, according to a circular Issued by the Li-
brary of Congress, to prove that the copy
is an original are as follows:
1. It should be printed on the paper used in
1800, hand made from rags, soft, pliable and
rough in texture,
2. This paper should have as watermarks
throughout, slender parallel lines 1 1-16 to 1 3-10
inches apart,
8. Title in italle capitals should measure 6
15-16 Inches In length,
4. Priot should show the blurred edges of hand
inked, hand press work,
5. The second column on 1 should meas.
ure 2 78 inches In width ween rules, and
18 84 Inches in length,
6. The old style “s” should appear frequently
as in the words “Published,” and “Ulster” in the
heading and in the words “President,” “House,”
“Representatives,” and many more In the text.
7. The last line of page 1, colamn 1, should

Thanks to the innumerable reproductions of
the January 4, 1800, issue of the Gazette, most
people are familiar with the account of Wash
ington's funeral which appeared in that issue
But the issue of December 28, 1700 Is fully as
interesting as the more famous issue, for in it is
found the announcement of his death as it first
reached the people of Kingston, It contains ex.
tracts from two letters from Alexandria, dated
December 15, the day after his death, giving the
preparations for his funeral. “We are close to
our houses and act as we should do if one of our

after, as a day of mourning.”
The news story itself reads as follows:
ON ‘Monday last, the Inhabitants of this
town, received the mournful information of
the death of GENERAL WASHINGTON, —
On this unhappy event sensations of grief
and sorrow pervaded every countenance,
In order to pay their last homage of re
