High Tensile, Heat Treated Mayari Steel Bolts For Rail Joints and Special Requirements EVENING, HOBO NOBLEMAN WEDS RICH WOMAN Had Another Spouse; Bragged Kinship With King Edward Elkton, Md.—"Lord" Harry B. Stan ley, pseudo "Earl of Aberdeen and Dudley," self-styled cousin of King Edward and "bosom friend" of August Belmont, has to all Intents risen from his lonely grave In Michigan to again become, after ten years, the chief toplo of household discussion in this country. New York attorneys who have been canvassing about the upper county in an effort to And an "heiress" to 15,000, have resurrected Lord Harry In tho public eye. The woman whom they are anxious to And; was "Lord Harry's" first wife. When last heard of, some ten years back, she was leaving West Grove, Pa., to become the star actress !n a traveling medicine show. And It was just about that time that "Lord Harry" himself drifted Into the little town of Calvert, this county, and after wielding a paint brush for seven ty-two hours on Joseph McVey'a barn blossomed out as an "English noble man," who within less than seven hours more had found a warm place In the heart of Miss Irene Clayton, a somewhat elderly maiden with an at tractive little fortune of $20,000. Wed In Twelve Day. j Within twelve day? after his appear anse In Calvert, "Jjord Harry" made ; Mies Clayton his wife, with the title jof "duchess of Aberdeen and Dudley." j A couple of days later the pseudo lord, j flat broke, was again on his way out of I Calvert—on foot. | The "Duchess of Aberden and Dudely" became plain Miss Clayton in three j years more through the process of the j divine court. "Lord Harry" died In 'Michigan four years ago. S But little was known of Stanley's l flrst wife at the time he was eating j up columns of space on the flrst pages j of all the big newspapers ofthe coun ! try as a second "King Cophetua" who j "lov'd the beggar maid." | Consequently the New York attor | neys who are endeavoring to possess Mrs. Stanley. No. 1, of $5,000 are mak ing but little headway In locating her. They have succeeded most admirably, , j however, in re-Introducing the story | of '"Lord Harry." I On the afternoon of June 12, ISO", ; a man looked orer the fence at the farm of Joseph McVey, a short distance from Calvert, and made up for a rather seedy appearance with almost engaging smile , and a free and easy manner. | "Want any help?" he inquired. "What can you do?" I "Anything In your line," came the j prompt reply and McVey put the | stranger to painting his barn. I "I'm not an ordinary person," the ! seedy but engaging stranger confided I to young "Joe" McVey, the son, shortly | after, his debut as a paint sllnger J "I'm a nobleman in disguise. My father ! was Bishop Stanley, formerly of the | central New York diocese. Coualn to King Edward | "On my mother's side lam a descen -1 dant of the titled Dudley and Stan j ley families of England. I am a cousin | of King Edward and a relative of th£ ! earl of Aberdeen. | "Now, my boy," continued the scion of kings, "I'm looking for a wife who has a little money. There's just SI,OOO in It for you to introduce me to such a woman." The man whose cousin was a king pricked up his ears as "Joe" McVey ■ j told of Irene Clayton, spinster, 64 years j old, and with a "little money." McVey | forgot to add that the spinster's little | fortune was so tied up as not to be ! readily converted into cash, i Never was there more assiduous a a courtship. In three days the engage ! ment was announced, the whole coun tryside was in an uproar and the<Clay- I ton family mobilized all Its members in , an elTort to head off the impending I I wedding. | His "Lordship" insisted upon an early I marriage. There was a legacy In Scot i land!, an estate left by a grandmother, ! and it would revert to the crown unless ho married within the month. "I had a sweetheart once," he told her, "but she died and I vowed never !to wed." Here a tear rolled down his thin cheek. "But my duty to my ances ors, the fortune that awaits me, both compel me to take amate. SI,OOO Wedding Feaat | Stanley came to Elkton and tried to employ a lawyer to make over a dowry of SSO,OOO. He arranged a SI,OOO wedding feast, ordered S6OO worth of flowers and promised the Rev. R. H. ! Taylor S2OO to tie the marital knot. 'j He talked of inviting the Belmonts 'and "my bosom friends the Vander ibilts." Then the brothers Clayton started to look up Stanley's connections. ! Stanley got an Inkling r>f this and decided upon dirastic action. He bor- I rowed $1.50 from his bride-to-be, ! bought a icense and got a preacher who was willing to do the job for 40c. The following morning "Lord Harry" left for Bising Sun to "get his seven trunks," which were coming from Ro chester. He went on foot and alone [and did not'eome back until arrested some time later for desertion. "Lord Harry" tried several jobs in ( an effort to earn enough money for 1 his "duchess of Aberdeen and Dudley," | but when the existence of another ; wife became known he again disappear- ) ed.. It was then learned he had work ed in a coffin factory in West Grove, ! that he had been a female imperson- ; ator In a burlesque troupe and that he < had imposed upon a preacher In Phlla. i His nearest relationship to King Ed ward was no more than a mutual de- ! scendancy from Adam and] Eve. He was close to 50 years old when ! he died, though somewhat stooped of shoulders and shabby of attire could j still enact the role of a "cousin to the king," though another opportunity never pffered.

ToolF'™ AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT iu?/d rl fv h Vcc a 6 nn b r By ALFRED W. McCANN The extraordinary Incidents which j developed in quick succession following the disclosure that the butchers of R were all using sodium sul phite throw so much light upon the difficulties in the way of l'ood reform that they are outlined here in the hope that public enlightenment will lead to the discouragement of an abuse which has spread from coast to coast. When the New York press pub-j llshed the facts concerning the dis covery of preservaline In all the butcher shops of R the mer chants, real estate owners, and physi cians of the town held a meeting. At this meeting it was pointed out that unless the alarming effects of the disclosure were promptly neutral ized people with families would not i move to the town, property owners \ would suffer, and the general effect! upon the prosperity of the community ! would be of a damaging nature. Immediately the newspapers of 1 R carrying the advertising of; the merchants who were exposed in their meat-drugging practices began the publication of a number of state ments in which they ridiculed the exposure. They all quoted R. B. Fitz-Ran dolph, chief of the division of food and drugs. New Jersey State Board of Health, as saying that the use of sodium sulphite in meat products was legal in the State. They also declared that the butch ers should be encouraged to continue I in the use of sulphites, quoting R physicians to that effect. The postmaster and president of the board of health, who had assisted in ! the exposure, contributed to the gen eral confusion by sending a distorted statement to the authorities at Tren ton. In this statement he denied that he had taken part in the investigation | and had no personal knowledge of the i results of the investigation which had resulted in such an embarrassing manner to him and his political friends. When I visited the postmaster he would not talk without a stenog rapher to make a record of what was said. Accordingly I also insisted on making notes and read the following question: "When you telephoned to eight or ten places looking for Inspector T to give us assistance in exposing the use of sulphites in R , it was done in this room and nobody was here but yourself and my squad. Yet you say that you have three affidavits of eye witnesses of your refusal to assist me in any manner. Is this true?" "You have a strange way of an swering your own questions and I have no reply to make." "Very well, we will abandon this note making and rely on our honor as men. Did you make a special and painstaking effort to locate Inspector T for us at this very telephone?" "I did not." "You lie." He sprang to his feet, crying "Help! Police! Riot!" Almost instantly seven postoffice clerks appeared at the door. I and my companion were seized. A policeman appeared. "I charge this man with provoking a riot," said the postmaster and presi dent of the board of health. "I have ordered him out of here but he will not go." I was taken to a cell in the R Jail, but the police, after an awkward delay, refused to lock me up, saying that the postmaster had pressed no charge against me. I was permitted to depart. The following statements Issued at once by the physicians of R , to gether with the foregoing account of what actually happened, reveal the presents upon her, featured Miss Tompkins' testimony when she was called to the stand this afternoon. She told how Yale had called her the "dearest little girl in the world," and declared that "he could not get along without hter." Thoughts of marriage were strong within him, she said, until his housekeeper. Miss Julia Messenger, who, she says, was "ex tremely jealous" began to put ob stacles in the way of a marriage cere mony, and then began a long series of postponements which Anally culmi nated In tho repudiation of the mar riage agreement. Asked what evidence of his affec tion Yale gave during this period, Miss Tompkins assured the court tbat and squeeze it hard." difficulties placed in the way of food reform by petty local interests, which, unhappily, in the United States are usually given preference in matters affecting public health. Statements by Dr. C "No strangers can come into R and make it appear that it is a little two by four piker town because the wife of a sorehead with a grouch has made complaint to an outsider, in stead of bringing the matter to the attention of tho health board here. Why is an attempt made to£* make R appear ridiculous when New York is rotten? Why, I found milk cans In New York under the health department's jurisdiction that con tained garbage and indescribable filth. "In one can I found a hatful of maggots and In another can the body of a dead baby wrapped in a papef. These cans were simply washed with cold water under my own eyes. I notified the New York Board of Health of the facts. "Yes, I would let my family eat sodium sulphite in meat." Statement by Dr. A "I don't care what the federal law i states. The federal law is unpust In j forbidding tire use of sodium pul phites In meat." Statement by Dr. B t "X do condemn the use of sulphites j in foods, but do not think It neces-1 I sary to ruin a man's business In put ting an end to the abuse. The Federal I , law is right in forbidding the use of | | sulphites." Statement by Dr. E. O. B. "All this is the result of a lax State law which Is utterly rotten. In fact, Iwe make no legal interference here even with midwifery and abortion. It seems too bad that under the j | shadows of even more serious abuses . j these butchers should receive such a i | blow, although there is no excuse of I | any kind for using sulphites in food. | I am interested, first of all, in the | health of the people, and In refusing I jto take part in a conspiracy of sup- J | pressing facts I am ready to take I the consequences for my conduct." Statement by Dr. R. "Meats of a proper kind do not re quire the use of sodium sulphite. New Jersey should not be an exception when the federal law specifically for bids the use of this preservative. The federal law, even though it does not apply to the States except In inter- State commerce, is enough for me. I certainly would not allow my children to eat meat containing sodium sul phite. I do not want to be drawn into this painful controversy, but' there is nothing for me to say except that sulphites must go even though In the going a few prominent people are embarrassed." The surprising disclosures which ; grew out of this little disturbance In ft turned the attention of the en tire State of New Jersey in the direc tion of a secret abuse concerning the practice of which the public had never heard the remotest nint. Notwithstanding the general dis cussion inspired by this episode, the meat industry became so active at once that the use of sodium sulphite In all the butcher shops of the State was legitimatized by the authorities. As a result the people of New Jer sey must be satisfied to practice vegetarianism or to eat doped meat whether they want to or not. The extraordinary Incidents which have led to this condition in the State of New Jersey throw so much light upon unsuspected local affairs In other States that they will be related here In the hope that the nation-wide traffic in sulphurous acid, sulphur dioxide and sulphites, which now curses the United States, will be in ' some measure discouraged thereby. Silo Drips, Cows Act Queer; Were Drunk, Farmer Finds Sharon, Pa., Sept. 28. Farmer Edward Owens, of Shenango town ship, has a herd of cows. He also [awns a silo, which he fills with corn and other foodstuffs for his stock each year. Lately he noticed that the cows had been acting queerly after being fed, and he could not account for the sudden change of temperament. One of his neighbors straightened the matter out this week, when he explained that the animals were get ting "tight" from the drippings of the silo, which contain a percentage of alcohol.
