WAS OF Gentle LINEAGE.
Mrs. Georgia Stanley, Found Uncon-
scious at Denver, Col, Was Of
Aristocratic Descent:
GRANDDAUGHTER OF LORD KERCASTLE.
After n Life of Varied al
Experience h was Left Ill and
Practically Pennilexs, and was
Befrfended by Nal. Hurd, Who
wa Found Dead.

Denver, Col, March 6.-Mrs. Geor-
gia Stanley, who was found in an I'M
conscious condition in the same
room in which lay the dead body of
Maj. Marshall f. Hurd, Wednesday,
proves to be a woman of aristrocratic
lineage. She is a granddaughter of
Lord Kercastle of Inverness, Scot
land. He mother was Lady Allen, and
her father governor of an English
province in India. Lady Allen, by a
second marriage, became the mother
of Sir James Grant, of Toronto, one
OF The most eminent physicians of
the Dominion of Canada, who was
knighted by Queen Victoria. Mrs.
Stanley, it is said, was thrice mar
ried. He first husband and their four
children died of the black dyphtheria
In Quebec. Several years later she
married q resident of Washington, D..
g., who was in the government serv-
ice. A year or so later he shot and
killed himself in a hotel at Syracuse,
N. Y. She then married Herbert
Stanley, who was a government
clerk.
Her relatives disapproved of the
union, and the Stanleys came to Dem
yer to live. About a year ago Mr..
Stanley died of paralysis and left his
widow practically penniless and help
less on account of i'll health. Mai.
Hurd, who at hat time was an in
mate of the old soldiers home at
Monte Vista, Col, came to Denver
and undertook to care for Mrs. Stan
ley, whose late husband was his
friend. The small pension he re-
ceiyed from the government was not
sufficient to provide for the needs of
the couple, and assistance was rem
dered them by charitable persons. 1t
was OF the occasion of one of these
visits, Wednesday, that the tragedy
at the Hurd house was discovered.
The physicians attending Mrs. Stan
ley believe that her condition and
Maj. Hurd's death were due to
breathing the fumes of coal gas
which escaped into the roo through
accident, and the suicide theory is
discredited.

that of having her pocket money made
perfectly clean and bright before she
fingers it. Whenever a check is turned
into hard cash for her use the coins are
scrubbed in a lather of spirits of wine

her purse, and any change that may be
rendered her when making purchases
is taken charge of by the ~lady-in-wait-

is expected this year. The number
who went from the United States

FIRST TEXAS RICE SHIPPED
FROM BROWNSVILLE AUG. Isl.
Pronounced by Experts to Be as Fine Rice is Grown
Anywhere in the World-MessrS. Hackney,
Volz and Foster Lucky Planters

Who said that the Brownsville
country was not suited to the growth
of good rice? Where's the croaker
and the knocker-the chronic
grumbler-that will now stand up
in the face of the facts and dispute
the right of the Brownsville coun-
try to the premium for being the
banner rice growing section of the
whole South? Very well, We are
in the lead this season with the
first rice and as fine q grade as can
be grown anywhere in the world.
And rice growing here is only in
theexperimented stage. The planters
have had almost every conceivable
obstacle to overcome, yet they are
away in the lead of all other sec
tions in the Texas rice belt and
with improved local conditions and
railway facilities, which will soon
be had, the Brownsville country will
surely outclass all other places in
growing early rice of the very best
quality.
The following news item from the
Galveston News of Aug. 5. sub
stimulates all that the most enthus-
iastie rice men claim for the
Brownsville country.
'rAe Texas Star Flour Mills
received yesterday from the Browns
vile Land & Irrigation Company
of Brownsville, the first sack of new
rice Gf the season 1903-1904 grown
in the State Of Texas.
"For the first receipts this sack
of rice is a remarkable specimen,
and it would certainly put to the

of an ideal rice.

generally. The regiment is schedul-

excellently seasoned in spite of its
newness, and it Is also uniform
throughout If this bag is a sample
of the character of the cereal that
will later come from the Browns
vile country, the planters of that
section are to be congratulated even
in advance upon their bright pros
poets for a yield of certainly as fine
rice as can be grown anywhere in
the world"
The fortunate growers ofthis rice
were Messrs. Hackney, Volz and
Foster. J. J. Hackney and Charles
Volz are citizens of Brownsville anG
plant rice on the canal of the
Brownsville Land and Irrigation
Company, of which W. NJ. Radcliffe
is president Mr.. Foster lives at
Sour Lake and is engaged in the
oil business. Messrs. Hackney and
VOlz began cutting rice the last
week in July. They could have cus
and shipped earlier, but were
handicapped by inconvenience
natural to new localities. After
cutting they had to wait on the
steamship to get their rice transport
ed to Galveston.
They shipped two sacks. One
weighed 223 pounds and the other
PIG. One shipment was made to
New Orleans, a report of its arrival
being published in THE HERALD
yesterday. clipped from the New
Orleans Item. But in order tc
make this story completeit IS here

''The first sack of Texas rice for
the season of 10000 was sold upon
the floor OF the Board of Trade yes

1t was shipped to New Orleans
by the Brownsville Land and r.
rigation Company, and consigned
to S. Leslie Breaux. 1t was sold
by Columbus H. Allen, broker, to
Bloom Sons Company for 81. The
rice graded extra fancy, and was
pronounced by experts to be as fine
grain as ever entered the port"
