'As the queens son he has. of course,
his own share of that loyalty which burns
in all British hearts, but he has great

because he frankly gives the rein to his
tastes for outdoor ana indoor diversions.
They gather In crowds to see him start

see his name high among the winners OF

of him as the country gentleman a Sand

his estate, receiving guests. taking the
lead in shooting, and other amusements.
They like TO see him on horseback in Hyde
park, where he rides often. They like 70

the general was taken siok and he con.
tinucd to grow weaker and wenkcr un-
til 7:1b Sunday evening when he passed
away. The generals death was doubt
less hastencd by the sad and recent
events in connection with his wayward
daughter. Dettlna Girnrd. The latter,
complete wreck, was day or two
ago transferred to private sanitartum
from Bellevue hospital. Owing to the
pleading Of his wife, who had become

IN Washington was arranged. Gen.
Ordway's death is attributed by the at
