beats upon the throne Of England.
The long talked of book by Sophia
Adelaide has made its appearance
in Europe, and charges Queen Vic
toria with the murder OF her hus-
band, Prince Albert, and the proof
offered in support of the theory is
certainly very strong.
The author of the hook claims to
be the FIRST issue Of the marriage be-
tween Victoria and Albert:
It claims that when Albert mar
ried Victoria, at her request, Gas
the Queen had the right to select
her own consorD he was at the
same time the husband of the
Counties de Ruess. When Albert
saw his chance to step into the
throne of England he put aside his
morgantic wife; but the lady did
not propose to be easily disposed of,
and stipulated that when her child
was born it should have all the
rights of royalty. This Albert
agreed to, and the services of Baron
Stockmar. q diplomat and physi-
clan, we're called into requisltion.
Victoria's daughter, (the author of
the book), was born on the 2lst OF
November, 1S4O, and the daughter
of Albert's legal vile on the 9Th of
same month. The children were
changed, 80 that the Countess de
Ruess was brought up, and sup
posed by Victoria to be her own
daughter. Her own child was sent
to Amerlca. Alice, the child of the
Countess, married the son of Will
liam of Prussia. Afterwards, when
Albert supposed he was on his
deathbed, he confessed his duplic-
ity to the Queen and there was
terrible scene. She was heard to
VOW vengeance. and soon afterward
Albert was taken with terrible pains
and died in the arms of his daughter
Alice. Before he died he confided
to her the secret OF her life. The
Queen then banished Alice from
Windsor Castle, and since then has
never allowed her to come back or
hold any correspondence with her.
While she hates Alice, and will not
even allow her name mentioned i,
her presence, she manifests the
strongest affection for her other
children. After Albert's death his
will, which was very long, was de-
stroyed by the Queen, because it is
alleged, it recognized his daughter
by his first wife. In destroying this
viii. Victoria violated the Statute
law of the realm. While it is well
known that Albert made a will, it is
not even recorded. Five years
after Albert's death she was one
day walking up the aisle OF the
chapel at Windsor, when page
stepped from the crowd, and IN a
loud voice said to the Queen: "You
poisoned your husband, and Prin-
cess Alice can prove it." The Queen
tainted and was removed from the
church, remaining in her room
Frustrated for several days. The
page was arrested and declared in
sane. He then disappeared, and
has never been heard of since, al
though several thousands of pounds
have been spent in search for him
by his relatives without avail. The
London Telegraph was the only pa
per in London which mentioned the
scene in the chapel. but years later
the Queens Master in Chancery
published book in which he re-
peated the charge made by the |
page. The annuity paid Sophia
Adelaide 10y Albert ceased after his
death. The Queen knows Sophia
Adelaide to be her daughter, but to |
recognize her would be admitting |
the truth OF her charges, and this |
would be also admitting that her
with Albert was bigamous
and therefore null and void.
Sophia-Adelaide claims that the
proofs of her story, now full and
are IN the hands OF the
