| The Ords came to America landing
at Baltimore in 1850. The family at
that time consisted of James Ord, the
brother of Ralph, his mother, Helen;
his sister, Mary Ord, and Mary's re-
puted child, a boy about years old,
who was also known as James Ord
Helen died Oct. 81, 1871, and Mary
Ord presumably in 1892.
The narrative of this James Ord,
| who died in Omaha in 1878, is a sum-
mary of statements made at four diff
ferent times to his children, and by
them these statements were preserved
with all possible secrecy
His uncle James Ord, had been sent
to Spain within two years after the
marriage of George w. and Mrs. Fitz-
herbert. There the young James be-
! gan his education which he completed
after coming to this country at
Georgetown University. He knew that
he was only the nephew by adoption
of James Ord, but never, for years.
i suspected the real truth, according
to the account left by him. That ac-
count says: "In 1888 1 first read an
account of the marriage of the Prince
Of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert.
Il also read that the English ambas-
| sador to the Court of Spain about that
I Nv
| was sent to Spain, Catholic country,
| where Mr.. Fitzherbert was the English
I ambassador. Whether l was taken to
Spain by the Ords or was given to
! them there 1 know not.
THE date, however, of their going
to Spain is year after the marriage
+: of Mrs. Fitzherbert and the prince.
James Ord went to Bilbao about the
list of November, 1886, and his mother
! uary, 1887. The date of the marriage,
December, 1885, correspondent with my
age, as nearly as l knew it, for my
uncle once told me he did not know
the exact date of my BIRTH
In the Centenary History of
Georgetown College," published in
1891 under the auspices of the college,
we find on page 20 the statement that
James Ord, son of George w. and
his lawful wife, Mrs. Fitzherbert, was
enrolled among the students in the
year 1899"
When Pacificus Ord, James Ord's
eldest son, saw this he wrote to the
president of the college to inquire
whether there were any documentary
proofs of the statements in the college
archives. To this the president re-
piled that 1t has ALWAYS been a tradi-
ton in the college that James Ord was
Mrs Fitzherbert and that the more
he questioned the older fathers of the
society the more positive the tradition
appeared to have been. 1t is this
James Ord, whose remains now rest
in Holy Sepulchre cemetery, and who
descendants are now endeavOring to
trace their genealogy to the last of
the Georges in England. The Ords
were all Catholics and the generation
| that is now trying to prove its right
| to the estates in England are of the
same faith as the unhappy Lady Fitz-
/ herbert

IOWA SHOULD Be
MECCA FOR WOMEN
Forty-sk Thousand More Men Than
Women In the State, Says
the Census.

SIoE& CITY. Ia, August 2.-Iowa
promises to become the mecca for
women since Director Davidson, of
the State Census Bureau, has Just an
nounced that there are 10000 more
men than women in this State. This
As contrary to the prevailing rule in
most States and the world at large.
From time.immemorial it has been
said that spinsterhood was inevitable
for many women owing to this dis.
parity in the number of. the sex. But
in Iowa, with full returns from 90
counties, Mr.. Davidson computes that
There Is room to accommodate $4,000
more women in Iowa and provide them
with suitable helpmates.
New England. according to nation
al census figures, has but As men to
every 80 women. 1t is anticipated
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-08-02

that there will be general exodus to
this State when the census figures
are given publicity. II they are ca.
pable Of teaching school they can find
employment in this vocation while
awaiting proposals of marriage, as
there is an unparalleled dearth Of
schoolma ANS in Iowa, and 1872 schools
have been compelled to close because
of inability to obtain instructors. It is
believed the figures compiled by the
census director accounts for the short.
age in school teachers.
Out OF the 81 counties whose cen.
sus has been compiled but two show
larger number of women than men.
These are Floyd and Des Moines.
What women have seen in either
county to induce them to bestow their
presence more generously is not re.
vealed by the hard, cold and some.
times brutal census cards. But the
disproportion is not at all alarming
in either county, as in Des Moines
there are but SO more females than
males, and in Floyd but AZ.
Appanoose, Sioux and Kossuth
counties may prepare for an influx OF
spinsters as soon as the facts become
known. In Sioux county there are
1883 more men than women. In Ap.
panoose 1924 and in Kossuth $50. The
entire census-taking bureau has mar
veled greatly at these figures.
Wright county is practically in the
same class, with 900 more men than
women; Marshall county has 500
more and Harrison, Lyon and Craw.
ford counties each have 700 more.
Audubon, Buena Vista, Emmett, Clay,
Hamilton, O'Brien and Pocohontas
each has 600 more. Dallas, Crawford,
Ida, Montgomery, Ringgold and Sac
each have 500 surplus men. 1t is note.
worthy that the rural districts show
the greater disparity and that in the
cities the women outnumber the men.
Thus 1t appears women dislike farm
life. d..

Mr.. BriStoW'S Report,

Mr.. Joseph l.. Bristow having
been sent to Central America TO in
vestigate trade conditions and other
matters bearing on the Panama
railroad, has made a voluminous
and exhaustive report.
He finds that the road has been
operated in the interest of the mon
opoly of shipping by one or two
steamship companies to the detri-
ment of competing transportation
companies.
He also alleges that the railroad
has been poorly managed and al
lowed to run down in equipment
and roadbed.
That the policy has been to han
die the minimum amount of business
at the highest possible rate. He
recommends that the government
thoroughly reht and equip the road
and handle it for the benefit of all
shippers at the lowest practical
rate for freight.
He argues that this road will have
to do, for ten or fifteen years, part
of the work that is expected of the
canal when completed and should
be put in the best possible shape
for handling the business.

The Disgrace of lola.

The police of lola have disgraced
the name of their fair city by rude
ly arresting Ex Congressman Fun
ston-widely known as Farmer
Fnnston-for exercising the Ameri-
can right of free speech with
reference to a subject of public in
terest. The police had long toler
ated the shameless violation of the
law by permitting saloons to run
openly in lola. A crazy man had
blown up three of them with dyna
mite. Farmer Funston had ex
pressed the righteous indignation OF
every law abiding Kansan at the
police federation of the saloons, and
had said that had the officers done
their duty there would haYe been no
explosion because there would have
been no saloons. As to what else
was said witnesses differ. The aged
farmer has a very loud voice and he
is said to have talked too loud on
this occasion. Those who have
ever heard him know that he al
ways talks too loud; he can't help it;
his voice like his frame is built on a
large scale. To the country at large
it looks as if fraction of the zeal
manifested by the police to keep
Mr.. Funston from exercising right
guaranteed to him by the funda-
mental Jaw of the land had been
directed toward suppressing the in
famous violations of the plain law
of the state, lola would not appear
in the disreputable attitude she now
presents.-Kansas Farmer

THE ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM

B. F. Holcomb, geologist of
Boston. Mass. who made a thor
ough examination of the Kansas
and Indian Territory oil fields for
Eastern capitalists last July, and in
his report predicted that the main
oil strata would be found underlying
the Mississippi limestone, has form
ulated new theory on the origin of
petroleum. In discussing this the
ory Mr.. Holcomb said:
"That petroleum is in anywise
due to decay of marine life is to my
mind unscientific, if not absurd.
The origin of the various grades of
petroleum, and, in fact, coal as well,
is certainly the result of condensed
gases under various physical con-
dltions.
"Once an ocean of diversified
depth covered the surface of the
whole earth, when suddenly the
bottom was uplifted, principally
through internal heat caused by
lateral pressure, and mountains up
lifted their heads. The paroxysms
caused among other things, folds
and fractures throughout the strata
of the various geological ages. The
fractures acted as vents for hydrogen
and acetylene gases, which formed
as soon as water met the alkal
earth mineaals. These two well
known gases uniting, attracted the
cobalt ores and more or les:
dissolved their nickel, iron, arsenic
and sulphur. Thus formed re
action took place and the hot com
pound soon finding itself hemmec
with porous rock, was condensed
If the condensation was suddel
owing to the extreme GOODNESS o
the rock, the result was coal, other
wise it was petroleum. "-Pacifi

HOTTER THAN =

The heat last Tuesday, through
out the east was intolerable. Many
heat prostrations are reported and
a number of them have proved fatal.
Tuesday is reported as the hottest
day of the season, up to date. In
New York many people rode the
street cars all night in an effort to
keep cool and thousands sought the
wharves rather than their beds.
The mercury here did not
show as high degree of heat as
other days we have had yet it seemed
the most oppressive day we have
had.
