AFTER THE AIRuE ESTATE.

The daughter OF an Adirondack hermit, liv-
ing on the west side OF town, says she is the
only rightml heiress to the broad acres OF the
Earl OF Airlie, in Scotland, and a New York
lawyer has gone over there to establish her
claim.
Mrs. Belle Callaghan, OF 3ll West sixteenth
street, Is the claimant, and according TO her
story the old Earl OF Alrlle himself was a
usurper, and his Scotch heirs. who are now
nghting over the estate, haven't the shadow
of title TO 1t except that OF possession.
For several years Scotch lawyers have been
advertising In this country for a certain John
Wilson, heir TO great property. Mrs:
this John Wilson and that the Alrlie estate is
the property.
John Wilson himself, who is Mrs. Cal
laghan's father, Is living, but by peculiar
deed he IS ruled out OF the line OF succession In
favor OF the female descendants OF the house,
and be Is positive that Mrs. Callaghan Is the
only female descendant.
John Wilson, her father, has for years lived
the life OF hermit IN the heart Of the
AdirOndacks. He traces his ancestry back 70
Malcolm Clanmore, who began his reign In
Scotland In 1887.
Coming down 20 later days, he SAYS his
great-grandfather married Janet Ogilvie, sis
ter Of the Earl Of Airlie, she holding an estate
OF dover bequeathed to her. by the word
ing OF the deed this estate was 20 descend 70
the eldest daughter Of the first born.
10 was only recently that the facts acci-
dentally came 10 her knowledge. Then She
visited the law firm OF Rabc & Keller, and Mr..
kahe has gone 70 Scotland 10 prosecute the
claim.
some Of Mrs. Callaghan's brothers sons
claim share In the estate, but Mrs. Gala
CHAN rays that she is the only heir. she was
the belle OF the Stxtesnth Ward In her giTlish
days and is now forty-eight years OF age and

A TRAGEDY AND A SHOCK 2

It is noted that Brooklyn's fashionable
society is shocked at Saturday nights
shooting Of THEODORE LARBIG by young
DARWIN MEsERoLE. But why2 Because
the man who killed another man in a
quarrel over the faithless wife Of still
third man was member of that society's
innermost circle.
Nothing is said of shock over the fact
that the dead man leaves a family to
whom the event of Saturday night is a
tragedy darker and blow heavier than
fashion can comprehend. That is the
real tragedy of it ALA murder Of peace
and trust in the home. Why is society
not shocked at this?

an hour later returning to his rooms.
Then he went out again, and his disappear
ance alarmed his wife, to whom he had said
he should kill himself. and she caused a search
to be made. A neighbors boy opened thu

Fads, Fashions and Fanoies That

This Is an age OF inventions and improve

Of the best fitting bodices consists in the fact
that the most perfect stands are used for
hitting and draping. II the amateur dress
maker has a dress-stand modelled TO her
ngure, she has not TO trust the most impor-
tant part--viz., the hitting OF the bodice-to
possibly a careless or inexperienced friend,
but she can see the bodice exactly
as Il appears on her own per-
son, and make such alterations and
improvements as are needrul without
either trouble or difficulty Drcss-stands
have never been brought to such perfection
as during the past few years, and not only is
the body part accurately modelled to form a
duplicate OF It's owner, but the hips arc also
copied as to shape and size, and movable
arms, also shaped and placed exactly as In the
living counterpart, enable us to answer the
poets lament in most practical manner, and
most truly sec ourselves MS others see u.s."
Competition has also brought down prices,
and these modelled stands are very ineXpen-
sive, and the movable arms cost only a few
shillings extra.
Flower hospitals are opening all over the
city Just now for the reception OF palms,
