The male line of Ryves continued in the
descendants of Rear Admiral George
Frederick Ryves. of the Royal
Navy.
Thomas Ryves came to Virginia with
the cavalier emigration of 1s45. From
him came the yirginian Riyes. His
great-grandsons. Robert and Thomas
i (sons of William Rives, of Sussex coun-
ty). were fighting in the Continental
ranks when Yorktown fell.
The elder son of Robert was William

bassador to France; the second, Alex
ander, was sent to the Court of St.
James in President Tyler's Adminstra-
tion. William C. Rives' son, Francis.

His son was the famous Sir John. Sir
John Tillotson's son came to America
and married the Colonial beauty, MIL

mother.
But with all her Instincts of blood, this
frail auburn-haired intense girl is a

century ago produced the typical Fir-

hot-house bud, but grew into woman
hood gailoping bareback over South

slopes Of the Blue Ridge. Col. Stephen
Rives believed not at all in the young
ladies' finishing school, and under his

governesses.
Miss Rives' spirit and love OF the out

through three or four States.
When a Northern army held Fort

much talsed-of love affair between Mary
Ragsdale and this self-same general. She
was too strong a Southern woman. how

married Stephen Rives. then an officer
in the Confederacy with Lees army.
All her life a friendship was maintained
between herself and her old Northern
admirer. They carried on CORE

The proportion of sightless to seeing
persons has been watched with espe-
cial interest In Great Britain, and the
latest statistics indicate that it has
fallen in a half century from about
1920 in the million to some $40, or
more than fourteen per cent. This de-
cline has been so timed as to show
pretty conclusively that 1t is the result
of better conditions of living, improved
surgery and doubtless a decrease in
the ratio of perilous to non-perilous
employments for the masses Of the
