HIRE IS A GENUINE ROMANCE
Claim That the Young Duke Of Orleans
Is Not the Real Orleanist
Heir
But the Son of an Italian JailOr-
The Heir, Girl, Was Traded
at Birth.

ST. Louis, Oct. A special by cable
to the Republic says: "Following close
on the pope's warning to the Duke of
Orleans to discontinue the agitation for
the restoration of the monarchy in
France comes story which will serious
ly embarrass the legitimists in any at
tempt they may make to secure recogni-
tion for the house of Orleans.
The story runs that just before the
birth of the present Duke Of Orleans the
late Count of Paris and his wife wero
travelling in Italy under the name Of
Count and Countess de Joinville.
They were very much interested just at
this period in the birth of a male heir to
the succession and to the vast wealth
that would go with it, and, fearing girl
instead Of boy might be born, the Count
resorted to a subterfuge in order to
remedy such an evil.
To this end he made the acquaintance
Of a man named Lorenzo Chiappini,
jailer at the prison Of Modigliana, and it
was agreed that in the event Of the
countess giving birth to daughter the
jailer would adopt it and give in ex-
change his own boy, who was within a
few days of being the same age.
The event justified the precaution.
The countess gave birth to a daughter
and she was baptised under the name Of
Maria Stella Chiappini; the ,ailer's wife
gave up her boy and he is now known as
the duke of Orleans.
This story has been certified to by
members of the Italian nobility, by a
deathbed confession of Lorenzo Chap
PM, by magistrates and by clergymen,
all Of whom attest the truthfulness OF
this substitution which was operated
between the daughter of the count and
the son Of the jailer.
The girl, Maria Stella, is at present
married and living in England. She hat
demanded Of the Italian authorities g
correction in the record of her birth, ir
response to which the following judg
ment has been given:
ut is definitely ordered that rectifi
cation and correction of the record o
birth inserted in the baptismal registe
Of the Prioral church of st. Etienne, a
Modigliana, where it was found tina
Maria Stella is indicated as being tn
daughter of Lorenzo Chiappini and o
Vlncentia Diligenti, and, on the othe
hand she should have been indicated q
the daughter Of M. Comte de Joinvill
and of Nine. la Comtesse de Joinvill,
French"
The substituted young woman will,
is said, try and regain her position befor
the world.

a middle-aged woman who had been

to recognize the French claim.
The present United States consul is
