In virginia.


Mr.. Joseph l. Keefer Of this city. cousin
of Cen Washington through his mother
Mary Ball, has Just returned from a trip
taken for business and pleasure through
some of our southern cities. He stopped at
Richmond. and visited, among other his
torical spots, the old house which was used
as the headquarters of Gen. Washington,
and where he and Gen. Lafayette held con-
situations over their war plans during the
revolution.
The old house was occupied previous to
this period by the Munroe family. and
President Munroe when a boy. while at
tending school In Richmond, slept there.
After the war the old house was the law
Office of Patrick Henry. and was used as
court house. The old room where justice
was melted out to offenders of the law is
still intact Jefferson, Madison and other
distinguished persons have slept in the old
house.
At Fredericksburg Mr.. Keefer visited the
old house in which Mary Ball. Washing
toms mother. lived and died and from which
her funeral took place, she having been
buried few hundred yards away The
Ball house Is filed with a number of valu-
able relics. standing just about where they
were when. the generals mother was alive
and active.
Mr.. Keefer was pleased to find upon the
old mantel shelf q pitcher, upon which was
something he had been for a long time
hunting and that was the picture correctly
given Of the old castle of the Washington
family, built long before Sulgrave Manor.
and from which Col. John Washington. the
great-grandfather of the general, together
with his brother Lawrence, migrated in
1879 to Bridges Creek in Westmoreand
county, Va. The old pitcher belonged to
the Gregory family. Capt. Gregory was
the godfather of the general, and the

WANTS s25, 5000 FOR SERVICES.
Doctor Who Attended Marshall Field
Filled a Record Claim

Just $4,000 for seven days professional
services is the bill sent to the Marshall
Field estate by DIR. Frank Billings, who
went to New York when Mr.. Field was III
last January. This is believed to be one OF
the largest fees ever charged by a physi-
clan in the United States where no sur
gical operation was performed
For some time IL has been current in pro-
fessional circles that the fees for medical
attendance during the last Illness of Mar
shall Field appropriated $4,000. This was
divided. by rumor, between DIR. Janeway of
New York and DR.. Billings, who was Mr.
Fields family physician.
Or. Billings, through his counsel Charles
l.. Billings. filed his claim against the
Field estate, together with the sworn bill
for S25G0. with the clerk of the probate
court for adjudication and payment. This
is the usual form required by law.
There is no reference made In the state
ment flied OF expenses during the physi-
slams visit to New York. and II is supposed
these were included in the bills rendered by
the management of the hotel at which Mr..
Field died. DIR. Janeway's claim has not
been filed, so far ~ txn be ascertained.
