SIR CAsTLETON's CAREER

Claims to Be Relative of Miss

CINCINNATI, Sept. 2.-The society OF
Hartwell, a suburb, is lionizing a sup.
posed nobleman. He is Edward Drexel
Castleton of Washington, @. H., who
prefixes "Sir" to his name, claiming to
have been knighted by the late Queen
Victoria. He also says he is a relative
of Miss Helen Gould and of the Drexels
of Philadelphia.
Castleton has lived in bachelor ele.

which he rented furnished for the month

him at the Grand hotel. After some
delay he went to Miss Hanna with

for the license and ring. Then the lit.

one. He took his bride to an humble home
at Washington O. H., and there she
learned, to her dismay, that there was
no foundation for the fabulous tales of
his wealth. He also learned that his
idealized heiress was far from rich. The
honeymoon lasted but two weeks, and
they separated. A sensational divorce
suit followed.
