A RESIDENT OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Chicago, Ills, December liam
O'Delia Diss Debar, formerly of West
Virginia, Chicago, India, and other
places, and once the wife of Professor
Charles Orchardson, of this city, has
married James Dutton Jackson, OF New
Orleans, with whom she proposes to
found the spiritual, mystic Order of the
Crystal Sea.
The Diss Debar is woman with a
history. She asserts she is the Prin-
cess Editha Lolita, Countess Lands
feldt, and Baroness Rosenthal, daugh-
ter of King Ludwig and Lola Montez,
goddaughter of Pope Plus TX; admits
being thrice a widow, once a divorce,
and has been in Jail on a charge Of
swindling. Now, as the wife of Mr..
Jackson, she has started out to help
him revolutionize the world.
"Ah," she says, what are titles af-
ter all? Had / been born a peasant
girl instead of a priestess l would still
be the legatee of Nine. Blavatsky;
would still be the celibate wife of my
friend and brother who has been sent
to revolutionize the world, not by the
sword, but by the inspiration of divin-
ity."
Mrs. Jackson weighs between two
and three hundred pounds. Her hus-
band tips the scales at 112. Mrs. jack
son is A years of age. Her husband
is 33. These are. their own figures.
Mrs. Jackson looks older than she says
she is. Her husband looks younger.
Unmatched as they are from stand
point of physique, they agree mentally,
or else they have rehearsed their les
son until they are letter prfct.
Thy propose to found the colony of
the Order Of the Crystal Sea on 1000
acres of land which Jackson owns in
Lee county, Florida, adjoining the es-
tate of Thomas A. Edison the cleo
trician. The colonists will subsist on
fruits and nuts, and will be herded
according to the groupate or intermedi
ate system. Those who are least de-
veloped in the faith will keep together,
and as they learn they will move up,
just as scholars do in the graded
schools After establishing the colony
they will leave it in charge of lieuten-
ants and go to India, there to perfect
IN anthropostic battery for the mani
testation of the Deity.
PLANS OF DISS DEBAR.
The propose-so the priestess says
10 show that God is biune, partaking
nj both sexes. They propose to lift
mankind by fruitarinism to the plane
of immaculate conception. They pre-
dict the harvest of the Christ-seed,
sown nineteen hundred years ago, by
1914. For every proposition they ad-
vance they quote verse from scrip
ture or invade the realms of science
to find a sponsor for their thoughts
in some we'll known natural law.
James Dutton Jackson was born in
Fond du Lac, Wis, of prominent par
%nts. He was the son of the superin-
tendent of the vast McNeer estates, in
California, and received a splendid
education. He was sent to Presby-
terrain college, and then began to study
for the Unitarian ministry. He for
sock this idea to embrace the faith of
fruitarianism, of which he is the orig
lnal exponent These facts were ascer-
tanned from Mr.. Jackson himself.
THE essence of fruitarianism is con-
tanned in the divine injunction Thou
shalt not KILL said Mr.. Jackson.
SIT was not meant that man should
destroy life that he might be fed. In
the first chapter of Genesis, twenty

my wife, NO found the divine city, the
New Jerusalem. We will found it on
my property in Florida. Then the
prayer which was born with the Savior
will come to pass Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven Millions will be placed at our
feet.
"The fruitar ian diet is the absolutely
perfect diet. Those of the Order of the
Crystal S will have for food fruit and
nuts. They will have for drink dis
titled water. Celibacy will be enforced
among them. Short life is caused
incipally by errors in diet. All thai
is good comes from above. That which
comes from below is full of impurities,
full of mineral matter. Mineral matter
is found in meat and il vegetables
which spring from the soil. Mineral
