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.

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.
