DEATH OF THOS.J. JETT, ESQ.

Our whole community was
shocked on Saturday afternoon,
when the news flew over the city
that Mr.. Thos. ]. Jett had died
very suddenly at his home on the
South Side. Mr.. Jett was as well
as usual that morning, and had
been over on the North Side, as
was his custom almost every da
He had returned home, eaten his
dinner, shaved himself preparatory
to Sunday, and turned to take his
seat, when his wife (who had q
moment before gone into another
room), heard him fall and ran to
his side only to find that the vital
spark had fled.
Mr.. Jett was dbout rs years of
age, and had spent the whole of
his long and useful life in this
county. He had heen a deputy
sheriff under MI. w. T. Herndon
and under Nr. w J. Chinn in the
same office, andi deputy U. S.
Marshal under his brother, Mr..
G. Hiram Jett, before the civil
war.
Something over year ago, the
infrmities of age beginning to
press upon him, he sold his farm,
near Jett Station, and moved to
this city to reside.
When stalwart man he was
married to Miss Jennie Darnell,
a sister of Esq. w. w. Darnell,
of Woodford county, and an aunt
of Mr.. Jas. S. Darnell, of this
city. The union was blessed
and happy one, large family of
three sons and three daughters
having grown up around them,
and their devotion and affection,
the one for the other, is some-
thing beautiful to see in these
sordid days.
Gentle, kindly and confiding in
his nature, Mr.: .Jett carried with |
him through his long life the
esteem and confidence of all who
knew him.
For many years he had been
an humble Christian, and men,
ber of Grassy Springs Christian
Church.
Last summer his Oldest son,
and the one to whom, if anything, |
he was most deeply attached, was
fouly murdered. Mr.. Jett never
recovered from the shock, but
visibly failed from that time,
although he tried to be cheerful
for the sake of the dear wife and
children.
The funeral services were con-

with a perfection that may be observed
prominently among New York girls
She was a. type and a very pleasant
one TO look upon Whether she had
any soul beyond that which was alb

At 20 she made a splendid mar

Of a family that, in three
generations, had risen from humble
retail trade to the control of a neces-
sity of life for the American nation.
He represented the fourth generation.
He was born upon the tOpmOst pima
Gle of New York society. vulgarly
known as the Four Hundred. Clara
Folsom had only lived in the outer cir
Gle of that society. Curious to say, she
appreciated the delights of being in the
inneTmOst circle far more than Charlie.
He was a type, and a very different
one. Business tired him. He had al
ready more millions than he could
count, or knew what to do with. So
ciety was equally distastefUl. Sport
was the one thing he cared for. From

ONLY had he shown any inclination
toward public usefulness. That was
when he charged up San Juan MIL

A CORONATION CURIOSITY.
Court of Claims, a Lingering Relic
of the Feudal System.


In connection with the coronation. to
which everybody is looking forward
with so much interest. we occasionally
hear of a curious tribunal called the
court of claims. AS much viii even
tually be heard of its proceedings it
may be Of interest to give some par
uculaTs concerning its origin. In early
times the high steward of England by
virtue of his Office, was accustomed to
sit judicially in the White hall Origin

palace at Westminster, near the chapel,
afterwards the late house Of commons
to receive the petitions of state officers
and of certain OF the nobility and gen
try who. by the tenures of their re-
spective estates, are bound to perform
services of different kinds at the cOro-
nations of kings and queens of Eng
land. These petitions or claims the
steward had power to examine, and, if
supported by documents or presidents,
to allow them and TO reject them if
wanting n the requisite proof. Hence
the tribunal is called the court Of
claims.

descended to Henry Of BollingbrOl1e,

he recognized his wife's handwriting
No power could have prevented him
from reading what was before MS

HasbrOuck drove home in the dark
ness, pondering these words. The wife

than left alone with him, She pre-
ferred a more intelligent companion
What should he dO2 Kill the man and
divorce his Wife2 In that way he could
see nothing but disgrace and misery
for those he loved and for himself.
Day had dawned when he said TO
himself that there was only one clear
way out Of the trouble.
That morning he gave his little boy
the lesson in golf he had promised him.
In the afternoon he shut himself in the
room where he kept his guns Presently
a shot brought the servants TO the
room They found HasbrOUck dead,
shot through the heart by a rifle which

Mrs HasbrOuck, returning from a
drive to dress for dinner, learned how
