WASHINGTON ESTATE IN COURT
Case Reopened in Fairfax County
Va. Involving Millions

FAIRFAX, Va, November Ill ne Is ls''0
OF George Washington, after lying uoi ;
mant In the circuit court OF air-aA
county for more than 100 years, was re-
opened Wednesday by the appointment u
an administrator for the undistl1puted ds-
sets The appointment was maze upon

Fairfax county was appointed admins

The object Of the proceeding IS to re-
cover lands in ONO which were grantee
to Washington by the British government
and later by the United States IN recoSnl-
tion of his military services to bojh gov
ernnents 1t is hardly hoped by the EehS
to recover the specific tracts OF lallu
granted to Washington, since theE Neit,
through a mistake, subsequently Srdittu
to actual settlers upon them. But III de-
fault OF such recovery the heirs expect TO
OBTAIN from Congress sum OF money
equivalent to their value, whether 'ileH
value at the time the grant TO NaShIi6-
ton or at the present time is not known.
If the heirs should be awarded by Con-
eresss the present value it would run up
TO hundreds of millions, as the site OF me
city of Cincinnati is embraced in one Vi
the grants. -,
According to Gen. Washington,s VIII,
he owned three large tracts OF lana IN
the Ohio river bottoms aggregatlng nearly
10000 acres. One of these grants en-
braced Point Pleasant, the birthplace OF
Gen Grant; another of several thou-
sand acres is in Round Bottom, the pres
ent site of Cincinnati. and third at the
mouth of the kanawha is valuable for
coal and oil.
Of this tract Gen. Washington said in
his will This tract was taken up by
Gen. Lewis and myself on account OF
the bituminous spring which it contains,
of so infammable nature as to burn as
freely as spirits, ana is nearly as difficult
to extinguish.'
This is the first mention of petroleum In
the United States, and it indicates that
Washington was the first dscoverer Of
petroleum, and the first to realize its i'm
portance In his will he requested his
heirs not to dispose of this particular
tract as the ''bituminouS spring would
be of immense value.
The present heirs at-law are great-grand-
nephews of Gen. Washington, being grand
children of Bushrod Washington,
nephew of Gen. Washington and an
sociate justice of the first Supreme Court.
The administrator. Robert f. Lee, jr.,
will push the settlement of the claims as
soon as Congress meets The two heirs
at whose instance the estate was re-
opened both reside in observation-disclosures

WEDDING GIFTS NOT WANTED.
Recent London Society Marriage
Unique-Shopkeepe Mortified.

LONDON, November lit is the es-
pecial wish of both parties that no
wedding presents should be sent" is
the startling edict appended to the
announcement of a forthcoming society
wedding. The little sentence has cast
a gloom over the faces of many of the
west end tradesmen, for it foreshadows
the doom of expensive wedding gifts.
The explanation, according to the man
ager of one large house. which does
great business in wedding presents,
is that people are tired of the tyranny
of giving wedding presents.
1T Is all very well for intimate
friends and relations to make presents
to the prospective bride and bride
groom" he said, but the whole thing
has become farce nowadays.
Mrs. BIS daughter becomes engaged.
and Immediately every one who has
ever been introduced to Miss B is
forced by etiquette to rush off and buy
an expensive present.
TT is, of course, an imposition of the
worst kind, and the revolt against it
started during the last season. 1t would
hurt some of the tradesmen rather bad
ly If it became a general fashion, al
though l don't think it will y great
many mothers in marrying their tiauSh-
tiers rely on the presents TO compensate
for slender dowries and few jewels. 1t is
no uncommon thing for, say, Lady Cad
ger. whose daughter is to be married, to
write round to all her friends to this eff

hear that dear Murel is marrying Capt.
So-and-so. | know you won't be Offend
ed, and l thought 1t would save you the
horrible trouble of choosing something if
| just mentioned tnat dear Murel has no
diamond tiara
But this is not the worst. AS soon as
the marriage between Lady Cadger' 5
daughter and the lucky sutton has been
arranged-probably by the designing
mother-that lady Institutes thorough
search for the names of everybody whom
she has ever met OF frigidly bowed to in
any society crush.
Then, after the manner of a tailor or
a dreSsmaker. or a coal merchant solicit
ing esteemed orders Lady Cadger Will
issue invitations TO every person on that
list, it being well understood that thos
kind invitation are Immediately black
listed in Lady Cadgers catalogue, and
marked down as desirabl acqua taAces-
to drop.
The position of those who hover on
the fringe of society is even worse. The
invitation is a yelled threat for they
know full well shat the invitation to
meet the Duchess of L, for which they
have worked so ;issiduously throughout
the season, depends entirely on the mar
ket value of the gift to Lady Cadgers
daughter.
