Louisville, April 11 ?Hugh H. Haviland, of Greenville, Ky , claims to be one of the heirs of a fortune left by "Dr. Theodore Keattle," another "Murray Hail." Dr. Keattle died at Punta Gorda, Fla,1896. Thui it was discovered that the "doctor" was a woman and that for thirty years she had so masqueraded. The woman was a mother. Those who were supposed to know, say that in i?oo a little boy was placed in the Protestant Episcopal asUum by "Dr. Keattle," then confessedly a woman, known as Kate I Haviland. The boj's name was Hugh H. Haviland. He was later bound out to a farmer and finally to an independent position at Greenville. Tnis is the story of Hugh Haviland, told by himself in a letter to the Courier-Journal. For nearly forty years he knew i nothing of his parents. Then came j a letter from a New York lawyer, G ! Tarleton Goidthwaite, 111 Broadway, who wrote that while searching for the heir's "Dr. Tbeodore Keattle," whom death nad revealed to ho a wo - v<V / * \ ' I "W J620 MAIN SI njt| Solicits a | C08D, be found that in 1853 she, g< i ir?nr Kr r> n m n nf T<T of?i TT arilflTI I WJ IUV 1. U Ui U ut O.XIAIW MM IOAMM i had put Hugh H. Haviland in th Protestant Episcopal orphan asjlur j at Louisville. Hugh H Haviland s Greenville, is regarded as that bo^ That Kite Haviland was "Dr. Keal tie" was, it is said, practically estal lished by witnesses in New York an Brookland. But Hugh Haviland is heir .0 bu j half the fortune. A girl who is e: pected to divide it with him, Grac M. Claik Elliott, Haviland's niece, e Lawyer Goldthwaite sajs I believe herself sole heiress to Imbray Clar of Austria, who died worth $25,000 000. Hugh Haviland's little sister, Kat Haviland's other child, according t Lawyer Goldthwaite, was put by he mother with foster parents. Th 1 :_j j giri grew up, marrieu v^iarii auu weu , west with him. In 1877 they wen to San Francisco, and there a chili was born. Within two weeks th delicate mother, Kate Haviland' daughter, died. The daughter wa placed in the hands of Mrs. Marth A. Grisworld, superintendent of th Home for the Friendless, by Iir bra; Clark, who sailed almost immediatel; for Australia. j Several years after Mrs. Griswolt ! heard cf Clark's death and adver tised for some one to adopt the littli orphan girl. The Elloitts responded and on August 21, 1878, were grant ed papers of adoption by a court ii San Franscisco. In 1897 the Eili otts learned that Tmbray Clark hac left a fortune of 825,000,000. t< which there was no heir, and bfgai a fight for their foster daugh er'i rights. Toe estate is tied up in th< English courts, and though hundred! of claimants have come forward, r od< has been able to prove claims to th< satisfaction of the British auttori lies. Grace M. Clark Elliott had almos given up hope when Lawyer G}ld thwaite's letter came telliDg her she wae heiress to the estate of he] grandmother, the spurious "Dr.K?at tie," of Punta Gorda. Now Mis: Miss Elliott expects to prove hei claims. How is This? We offer One Hundred Dollar: Reward for any case of Catarrh tha: cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrl Cure. F. J.

Success in farming is'offen cause by attention to details; failure is jus as frequently due to neglect of details Not every farmer appreciates the sig nificance of rotation of crops b which deep rooting are alternate with shallow rooting plants, for ii * ? a.i stance, ana yet it appeaia iumi mn are considerable possibilities in practice to this effect. Thus it i held that there e?an be secured ai ".ncreased length and developmer of potato roots when the potat crop is preceded by a crop ( long rooted lupines, and the consi quent increase in the growth of vine freedom of vines from disease, an }ield of tubers. These results at especially noticeable in dry years, an are thought to be due to the greate supply of water brought within tl reach of the plant by the longs roots."'

Polite and AT t^To The* flntVir r SftVS "Jacob rever married/' Mr. Jacob Meetze, when quite a young maD, was a volunteer Boldier in the war of 1812, and whether in active service or not he was doubtless inspired by a patriotic spirit. He afterwards went to Charleston, where he found employment in the Custom House with Col. Wagener, and married a beautiful young widow, Mrs. Sarah Scott nee Pheaster, of that city. He afterwards moved to Blackville and was for many years a successful merchant, with an elegant homi3 as he accumulated a handsome property, which he lost by the devastation of the War of the Confederacy. So great was the shock upon the sensitive nature of his wife that she sickened and died and he was left homeless and alone. In his old age his sister, Catherine, who was living with her son, Hon. S. Coilev at Lexington, S. C., responded to his appeal for help and afterwards took him to live with her, where he finally died at about 00 jears of age. So bale and hearty was he that he often said, had it not been for his financial troubles he did not think he hardly ever would have died. His remains were sent back to Biackville an interred in the Methodist cemetery, by the side of his wife and a marble slab erected to his memory. "Scraps of History says Felix married a lady from Charleston." Facts say Mr. Felix Meetze, a younger son of grandfather Meetze, went from Charleston in quest of health and happiness to the White Sulphur Springs of Virginia, and married while there one of the F. F. Vs., a petite young lady whose crowniDg glory of hair was truly marvelous. When flowing loose it reached the floor as she stood, aBd enveloped her like a silken veil. Quite a romance of "love at first sight" attended the courtship and mariiage. One afternoon young Felix, in company with some of his chums, were walking near the Springs when a carriage drove up containing three young ladies, one of them was in deep morning and veiled. As she alighted Uuclo exclaimed "what a beautiful foot; that lady will be my bride." She proved to be the accomplished daughter of Col. Calimes of Virginia. The next evening he sought an introduction and in three weeks was married to her. He was a noble man, a friend in need aDd a devoted father to his children and also a honorable business man. Often successful, but when rever ses came he met them bravely. Dear "Aunt Jane", his devoted wife, proved to be oDe of the best women in the world, a veritable God send to dear Uncle Felix Meetze.

Won't Run For Senate. Hon. John C Sheppard, of Edgefield, was in the city a short while today. A Journal reporter touched up the ex-governor on the subject of politics. Governor Sheppard said be would announce definitely that he was Dot going to run for the United States Senate. "That," he said, "is goiDg to be cue of the worst scrambks ever seen in this State." It is his idea that the race will bitter acd narrow to small issues, a personal dispute and a test of pulls.

This is, to Fay the j least, interesting, and Mr. Latimer's ' > ? - > r j:* | claim :b a large one lor luul-u citun 1 certainly attaches to somebody. We have no other idea than that full credit belongs to Senator McLaurin j We remember how Dr. J. William Stokes secured the free delivery of' ! mail aloDg star routes in South CaroI lina, and how Mr. Latimer tried to ; claim the credit. We are not con! scious of any pnjudice against Mr. | Latimer, but we are impressed with j him principally as a claimer, while | we lock upcn Senator McLaurin as a ! man that can do things. We have j not seen any statement in which it ; appears that the Senator has claimed | anything, as is intimated by Mr. j Latimer. . We have only seen state| ments of what Senator McLaurin I has actually done. Other people are ! doing the claiming for him. If it is i a fact that there is an effort to give ! Senator MoLautin credit for somei thing that belongs to Congressman ! Latimer, we do not want to see the j effort succeed. If Mr. Latimer can ! prove that he is entitled to the credit | of securing the government appro; priatioD, we hope to see him prove ! the fact; but we want to see him j prove it with facts. We have never I yet known Senator McLaurin to lay j i claim to anything that was not his, { nor have we ever known him to deal j unjustly with otheis. It is not characteristic of him to try to make much 1 | of a fuss even when he is treated with the most palpable injustice. There is no such thing as falsehood j about him. All of bis public actions [ are characterized by open manliness i Then agaiD, we say that if Mr. LatiI mer can prove his claim !o the credit ! in this government exhibit matter, ! let him do it at once and let him be | accorded that credit in its fullest | measure. But let us have more tbaD bis word for if: let him put up or shut up. The Best Remedy for Rheumatism. QUICK RELIEF FROM PAIN.
