AMERICAN HEIRS OF
The San Francisco Argonaut gives
to the world for the first time, addi
tional facts In the old romance of
Qsorge the Fourth, King of Eng
land, and Mrs. Fltaherbert, hia beau
tiful morganatic wife. Descendants
of the strange pair, hulf royal, half
plebeian, have Just died in the I'nlted
Stales, milking the old romance
doubly fascinating:
"In view of the Interest aroused in
Mr. Fltzherbert by tho disclosure of
the contents of sealed papers that
have lain In Couus Hank, London, for
four-score years, an authentic account
of the lady who was George the
Fourth's wife tor mistress, aa you
please) may be Interesting, says the
Argonaut
Alary Smythe was born In 1756. She
was the daughter of one Walter
Smythe. a gentlemun. Before she
met the Prince of Wales, she was twice
married. First, to Edward Weld,
who died within a year. and. second,
to Thomas Fltzherbert, who died in
1781, leaving her twice a widow before
ehe was 25. At this time she had an
income of 110.000 a year, und was a
person of consequence. She resided
at Richmond Hill, Brighton, and here
It was that she met the prince, who
was Just 19, fair and fat, and amorous.
lie Immediately fell In love with
her, and pressed his suit wilh ardor.
Mrs. Fltzherbert, indeed, wascelebrat
ed In a ballad, two lines of which
run: i
- "I'd crowns resign to call her mine. I
Sweet lass of Richmond Hill." !
However, the fair widow did not
encourage the suit of the prince. 1
Rather, she used all efforts to stave j
him off. But he was perslstc it, and
finally resorted to the most desperate
measures. One day, so the story riuw.
Kelt, the surgeon, w ith Lord Onslow, j
Lord Southampton and Edward Boiv- j
erie, arrived at Mrs. FitzherbertV
house In utmost consternation, and in-1
formed her that the life of the prince !
was In Imminent danger, that he hud i
stabbed himself, and that nothing hut
her immediate presence could save i
him. By this alarming report she was.
after much argument, finally indue 1
to go to Carlton House, having fir.-t
stipulated that the Duchess of Devon
shire should accompany her. Tho-e
she found the prince, pale and cm-- j
ered with blood. He told her tlia
nothing could Induce him to live ex-
cept her promise to become his wife, i
and permit him to put a ring upon her
finger. Overcome by the sight of the
pallor of the prince and the oio.nl
upon him, the lady almost los: con
sciousness, and consented. A ring
from the hand of the Duchess of 1 ev
onshire was used. Despite the doubts
of others, Mrs. Fltzherbert always
Regarded the stabbing as real. "Mm.
Fltzherbert being asked by me." sa-.
Lord Stourton, "whether she did nol
believe that some trick had been pvac
tlced, and that It was not really the
blood of his royal highness, onsw.MoJ
In the negative, and said that she had
frequently seen the scar."
Despite her faith in the princ;,
however, Mrs. Fltzherbert immedl -t..-ly
repented of her bargain. She con
sidered that undue pressure ha I been
used, drew up a letter of protest, and
fled the very next day from England,
followed hard by the couriers of the
prince entreating her to return. A--evidence
of the violence of his passli i,
one letter, written with his own hand,
was 37 pages long. At first these ei -treaties
were unavailing, then Mrs.
Fltzherbert was Induced to pr .mi-?
that she would marry no one else,
and, finally, after two years, she yield
ed utterly. She returned to En.;land
"to become the wife of the prince on
those conditions which satisfied Vi'jr
own conscience, though she knew she
could have no legal claim to be the
wife of the prince." The marriage
was performed Immediately upon her
arrival by a Protestant clergyman
(Mrs. Fltzherbert was a devout Cath
olic) In the presence of her uncle,
Mr. Errlngton, and of her brother. Mr.
Smythe. Xo Roman Catholic priest
officiated. A certificate of the mar
riage Is extant In the handwriting of
the prince. The names of the witnesses
were added, but, at the earnest re
quest of the parties, they were after
ward cut out by Mrs. Fltzherbert with
her own scissors.
The status of this marriage w ill al
ways be a matter of dispute. In Cath
olic Europe, It would have been valid.
Before the council of Trent, It would
have been valid. It tras such a mar
riage as the Catholic church recog
nizes as valid between persons one of
whom Is a Protestant. But, under
English law, the consent of the king
was necessary, and that they did not
have. Mrs. Fltzherbert knew that any
Issue of the union would be Illegiti
mate, and never could aspire to the
British crown. The gravamen of
opinion seems to regard Mrs. Fltzher
bert as In a class apart from the run
of king's mistresses and concubines.
She was, says one historian, "undoubt
edly an amiable and excellent woman."
She was free from malignity and bit
terness, and not In the least mercen
ary. By all the royal family, and the
nobility generally, she was treated
with the utmost respect. After the
death of George the Fourth, King
"William called on Mrs. Fltzherbert,
at her home In Brighton, and offered
her the title of duchess, which she de
clined. He then Insisted upon her us
ing the royal livery and authorized her
to put on weeds for his royal brother.
Creevey says of her, at her death: "She
was the best-hearted and most dis
creet human belrg that ever was."
After the marriage, the Prince of
Wales and Mrs. Fltzherbert main
tained their relation with apparent
happiness for some time. At length,
however, the connection was Inter
rupted by the prince's liaison with
Lady Hertford, and this was followed
by hie formal marriage to Princess
Caroline of Brunswick. Into this
marriage, be It said to his credit, the
arise went with reluctance, which !
attributed ta part to his regard for
Mas. nil lnrWt. Oa she wodelng
GEORGETHE FOURTH
day, it is recorded, he drunk so much
brandy to drow n his sorrows that he
had to be held up by two noblemen
during the marriage ceremony.
With such a beginning. It is little
wonder that there was little love lost
on either side, and that, after an Inter
val, the prince should have sought a
renewal of the relations with his first
love. Indeed, we are told that "mem
bers of the royal family urged a recon
ciliation, even upon the plea of duty."
Mrs. Fltzherbert, in doubt w hat course
she ought to pursue, referred to the
pope the question whother she ought
or not to resume her conjugal rela
tions with the prince after he had
been married, according to English
law, to another woman. Strange to
say, the pope decided ihat, in the eyes
of the Roman Catholic church, the
former marriage and not the lattet
was valid and binding, and, conse
quently, Mrs. Fltzherbert returned to
the prince, and lived with him foi
seven years, or until their connection
was interrupted by other circum
stances. Curiously enough, even Car
oline, the Brunswick princess, whom
the prince had married, liked Mrs.
Fltzherbert, and their daughter.
Charlotte, was patlcularly fond of her
Caroline also recognized Mrs. Fltzher-
bert's moral claims, and the story run.
that in her trial, on being nsked il
she had ever violated her marriage
vow, she replied, very vehemently
"Xo," but added, after some hesita
tion: "Well, if I ever did, it was with
.Mrs. Fitzherbert's husband."
The final break between the prince
and Mis. Fltzherbert came quite un
expectedly. At the royal table. It np
pears, guests were always seated w ith
out regard to rank, in order that m
question regarding the place of Mrs
i- Hzhei bert might arise. Contrary ti
that custom, when the prince pre
pared to give a dinner to a noble for
eign visitor, it was announced tha
guests would be placed according t
rank. Mrs. Fltzherbert asked the
prince, who had invited her, a.
always, with the rest of the company
where she was to sit. He said: "Yoi
know, madam, you have no place.'
"N'one. sire," she replied, "but excep
as you choose to give me." Upon thit
.-he notified the royal family that sh.
would not go.
This was the end. Thenceforth sht
never saw the prince (or George th
Fourth as he became). Hut the duke
f the realm In particular the duk.
li Clarence retained their regard fo
;ier and visited her house. She ha,
,i pension of $30,000 a year, and die,
at 81, well beloved. It is said tha
just before the king's death she wrot
llm a long and tender letter, which h
jrasped and read eagerly, and that h
jave orders that a picture of Mrs
iizherbert should be placed in hi
coffin.
As for the papers which have re
ently been opened at Coutts bank
.hey have no real importance. The;
ire simply documentary evidence o
.vhat has all the time been well knowi
and never disputed. Their nature an.
contents are described accurately bj
all writers who touch upon the sub
ject. A more curlouj phenomenon is the
iudden appearance, coincident witl
the opening of these unimportant pa
pers, of a number of persons wh,
claim to be descended from a son born
of the union of George, Prince ol
vValcs, and Mrs. Fltzherbert. The
story Is that a son or this marriag,
was given to one James Ord, wh
came to the United States in 1S10
The boy took the name, James Ord.
but was told In the will of the reai
James Ord that he was. In fact, the
son of George the Fourth and Mrs.
Fltzherbert. This James Ord liveu
until he was 9o, and died recently In
Omaha. He had eight children, and
his descendants include Mrs. Samuel
V. Holladay of San Francisco, . Dr.
James L. Ord and Robert Ord, for
merly of Santa Barbara, John S. Ord
of San Francisco, and others. Suffice
It to say. regarding these claims, that
none of the many memoirs and papers
relating to Mrs. Ritzhcrbert even so
much as mention such an Issue.

A FAMOUS PROBLEM. "
It ni.l Nat Take Newton Lone ts
Find the Correct Solution.
In Newton's time It was often the
custom for Illustrious mathematicians,
when tliey had discovered a solution
for some new aud striking problem, to
publish that problem as a cbtillouge to
the world while withholding their own
solutlou. A famous Instance of this is
found iu what Is known as the BracUIs
tochroiie problem, which was solved by
John Keinonllll. The nature of this
problem may be mentioned. It was to
find the shape of the curve along which
i body would slide dowu from one
(mint (A I to another (li) In the shortest
time. It might at first be thought that
the straight line from A to B, as It is
undoubtedly the shortest distance be
tween the points, would also bo the
path of quickest descent, but this Is
not so.
There is a curved line down which a
head, let us say, would run on a
smooth wire from A to B In a shorter
time tlnin the same bead would re
quire to run down the straight wire.
Bernoullli's problem was to find out
what Ihat curve must be.
Newton solved It correctly. He
showed that the curve was a part of
what is termed a cycloid that Is to
say, a curve like that which Is de
scribed by a nail on the rim of a car
riage wheel as the wheel runs along the
ground. Such was Newton's geomet
rical Insight that he was able to trans
mit a solution of the problem on the
any titter he bad received It to the
president of the ltoyal society.
ENGRAVED LETTERING.
ProrpftNeit Neeesnnrr l-'or Working
on Copprr nr Steel.
Lettering may be described under
three heads large lettering, such as
bond titles; small lettering, like that
done ou coupons, cards and tickets,
and script, or writing. Some engrav
ers can do good work in all of these
branches of lettering, but in Inrge es
tablishments each innn Is kept em
ployed at that style in which he excels.
In bonds and stock certificates the
titles and script are usually done on
the plate from which they ore to be
printed, but there Is a lot of small
work, common to Jobs of that kiud.
which Is done on what are called
"dies" or "bedpleees," and transferred
from the rolls to the plates.
In large lettering a drawing of the
outline of the letters Is made on paper
to get the shapes, curves and spacing
correct. A tracing of this outline Is
then made on gelatin, and, after filling
this with vermilion, a thin conting of
wax Is laid on the plate and n transfer
of the gelatin tracing put on the wax.
Next 0h outline Is carefully marked
through the wax on to the plate. The
wax is taken off and the artist Is ready
to begin his cutting.
Lettering on bank notes, if tliers Is
to be more than one note on a plate',' Is
engraved on "dies" or "bedpleees" and
transferred to the plate. This Insures
the exact duplication of the material
of each of the notes and also makes It
possible to reproduce and retouch the
work at any time.

The hands of female mummies found
in the tombs of Egypt are literally cov
ered with rings, In many Instances
there being from two to six on every
finger. In some cases these ornaments
are composed wholly of gold, but In
others, which probably represent all
that is left of some poor man's wife or
daughter, the rings are brass, glass or
pottery ware. According to Josephus
and Herodotus, the Chaldeans and Per
sians and the Babylonians were all
very fond of rings and other personal
ornaments.
