GENERAL oRowAY DEAD.


Expires NJ uoroi After Briet M
mess ul- Notorious Daaghter
NEW NoRN. Nov 90 -General Albert
ordway diei at 1.ll o'clock last night
at the Hoffman house in this city.
When death came the generals wife,
his sister. Miss Emma Ordway; DIR.
Pease, the attending physician, and
Lieutenant Very, q close friend and
business associate, were at his bed
side
General Ordway and his wife re-
turned from Europe last Wednesday.
They engaged rooms at the Hoffman
house. NcNt day the general was
taken sick, and hc continued to grow
weaker and weaker until 7:lh o'clock
last evening, when he died. rhe gen
erals death was doubtless FASTENED by
the sad and recent events in connec-
tiOn with his wayward daughter,
Bettina Gerard the notorious opera
singer. The latter, complete wreck,
was day or two ago transferred to a
private sanitarium from Bellevue hos
pitaL Owing to the pleading OF his
wife, who had become reconciled to
her daughter, General Ordway finally
consented to the return OF the prod
igal and reunion of the family in
Washington was arranged.
General Ordway's death is attributed
by the attending physician to jaundice
and pleurisy, which developed from a
cold contracted in Paris
Brevet Brigadier General Ordway,
who was born in 1s43, served with
credit and gallantry throughout the
civil war, the greater portion of the
time with his regiment, the Twenty
/ fourth Massachusetts, infantry.
For gallantry at various times, and
because of his ability, he had been
successfully promoted until, at -
years of age he was made brevet briga-
dier general, being the youngest
officer in the service to receive that
grade. After being mustered out,
General Ordway went into business at
Richmond, and about ten years later
removed TO Washington. where. as
commanding officer of the National
Guard for number of yeats, he
brought that organization up to high
standard.

IT may appear to some as be-
ing a little early to make anni-
versary talk. Former expert
ence has told us that much has
been left undOne owing to a
lack of time to insure its ac-
complishment. The ARDMORE-
TIE believes the present the
proper time to study out plans
for grand trades display and
fitting exercises for a big blow
out Oh our anniversary. With
this object in view, a represent
ative of the ARDMoREITE will,
beginning tomorrow, make a
thorough canvass OF our busl-
ness men TO the end that a gem
eral idea of the proper course
to pursue in preparing for this
gala occasion may be obtained.
As mas Deen the custom ueIelO-
fore, the ARDMOREITE will on
this occasion issue a large illus
trated edition for gratuitous
distribution to the thousands
who will be within our gates
from a distance. While former
special editions of the ARD
MoREITE have been quite sue
cessful, we have no hesitancy
in saying that on this occasion
all former efforts will be eclips-
ed and the public will be given
a paper such as has never be-
fore been issued in the Indian
Territory.

THE representatives OF the
Dawes Indian Commission and
OF the ChoctawS and Chicka-
saws executed at Atoka last
week joint agreement or treaty
similar to that agreed to by the
Choctaws alone last year. but
which the Chickasaws rejected
at that time The latest reports
are to the effect that the Chicka-
saws as nation viii not ratify
the treaty, in which event the
Atoka arrangement Will not be
finally, but only step, an
indication. The weakness of
the treaty which may be sand to
be under consideration IS, that
it prolongs the tribal arrange
ments for eight years from
March i, ISIS, which is too long.
There is no necessity for the
continuance Of the Indian Ma
ton fraud and absurdity for any
such a length OF time. Every
day that the tribal governments
continue IS Il day of injury to
the best interests of the Terri
tory and Il vast majority Of its
people, including in the word
people white, black and red
The disposition of the Indians
to efuse the even unreasonably
liberal eightyears' arrangement
viii only hasten matters. An
other treaty, if another IS founC
necessary, will prescribe E;
shorter period.-K. c. Star.
