MEMOIR DISCLOSURES,
IAS A WOMAN
ONCE HEIR TO THE
THRONE OF FRANCE?
Sensational Claim Made in
Memoirs of Maria Stella,
Just Published Was Sup
pressed for Years.
Suppressed when written In 130. In
"The Secret of Louis Philippe." Just pub
lished by McBrlde. N'nst & Co , Xrw
York, nro mailo public the memoirs of
atnrla Stella, who nearly a century nso
fought bravely but in nln for recogni
tion as rightful heir In the Hourbon line
ti the throne of France. These remark
able revelntlon9 lay ellowlne In a slnglo
preserved copy In the Vatican library In
Rome until discovered there recently
by Boer d'Airen, a Trench author, ft
discovery directly due,.to Pope Leo Xllt's
throwing the secular nrchlves of the
Vatican open to the publlr. The transla
tion from the original French memoirs
nro made by Harriet XI. Capes.
Monarchical countries have nil hod
'heir craps of pretenders and their make
believe, hut In all their otinats there Is
no story of a right for a royal name to
bo compared with this. For not only
docs the claimant bodly assert that she
was exchanged at birth for a boy baby,
the son of a Jailer, hut she bring to bear
exhibits and testimony which challenge
skepticism and compel sympith In
deed, this evidence o satisfied the papal
court sitting In Fann7a In X.:i that the
liltherto supposed daughter of a Jailer
was given a decree entitling her to ai
nume a station in the nobility and order
In:: the baptismal record changed ac
cordingly The Lplscopal tribunal estab
lished that the woman was the daughter
o" the Comte and Comtesse dc Jolnvllle,
nnd not of that obscure yet crafty old
plebeian, Lorenzo Chlapplnl. And who
wai, de Jolnvllle? None other, we are
told, than Louis Philippe. Due d'Orleans,
descendant of Louis XIV, and possible
heir to the throne. Hut was he" History
Is silent. We must take the records be
fore us for what the are worth.
Maria Stella begins her memoirs by
stating simply: "1 was born in 177.1. In
the llttlo town of Modlclluna, situated
on the heights of the Apennines, which
could be reached only by ry bail
roads." She describes her early life In
the household of Chlapplnl. keeper of
the Jail, and none too happy a life It
was. From her earliest vars of dis
cretion, she maintains, she was conscious
ot a wide gulf sepaiatlng her from her
parents sisters nnd brothers: she felt
Immeasurably above them, heard the call
of the blood as It were. Then came
mysterious consignments of money which
enabled the Jailer to send his "daugh
ter" to good schools, where her nobility
so asserted itself that she had no trou
ble In finding a husband of high rank.
To speak more accurately, it was "Papa '
Chlapplnl who found her a husband, for
he forced her against her will into a
marriage with Lord New borough, owner
of the magnlllccnt Glynlllfon estates In
Wales.
After the death of New borough the
distinguished widow entered into another
marriage, more noblo than the first, this
time with the Russian Baron Sternberg.
Followed then a spectacular round of
social triumphs In Petersburg, which
must surely hae satisfied ono of such
bumble origin had it not been for the
amazing revelation that was to come to
her after old Chlappinl's death In a let
ter In his own handwriting. "The day
you were born." he confessed, "a boy
was also born to me. I was requested
to make an exchange. I consented "
This and some other admissions, but no
clue to the real parents except that
they were "of high rank."
From this nucleus Maria Stella began
In 1S22. to build up her great case. She
was destined before the close to lose
husband, son, fortune, peace of mind
all that mado life ot any interest nnd
5et to keep upon her unswerving course,
adhering through all to that motto she
formulated for herself at tho beginning
"To conquer or die as I have lived. All
or nothing." I
Her first move was to collect the evi
dence required by the Papal court In
order to have the baptismal records
changed. She hired a lawyer. Impor
tant letters had been destroed during
the revolution, yet thero were knowing
persons to be interxlewed Of these.
two old maid servants proved most val
uable. They first accosted her with,
-How like ou are to the Comtesse de
Jolnvllle:" Then they told how. as serv
ants to another titled woman, thoy hap
pened to be at the Castle of JJodigliana
In the spring of 1773 when the De Joln
vllles camr there: how a girl child was
born to them at the same time a boy was
born to the Jailer's wife; how the ex
change had been made in order that
De Jolnvllle might have a son to suc
ceed him, and even how, some time
afterward the Comte hid In a monastery
to escape a threatened Investigation
Corroboration now came In many
suites. But Maria was compelled to
battle against great wealth and power
and more, for In her naive way she tells
of corruption among the legal fraternity
which would put to shame the methods
of shvster followers of the police couru
of today. Offers of money to settle the
case were alwavs forthcoming, but with
her It was "all or nothing" Even hi r
devoted Russian husband became so Im
patient with her pertinacity that h
slipped quietly away and left her to her
own resources. Finally, with tery last
of the lawyers and Investigators turn
ing out a scoundrel, with her mono.
spent, her life shattered, she turned .o
her memoirs in the hope that publicity
would win for her the recognition which
de-vlous legal measures hud failed to
win That same jear the Due d'Orleans
was called to the French thrune. Maria
bulla's memoirs fell stillborn from her
pen.

Tho men are decent nnd (.elf-sacrlficlng;

Tho only really bad person Is a lady who

To counterbalance this unfortunate per

saying. "(!od Is love." The character Is
