Friends of the late E. S. Stokes do not
doubt he married Miss Barclay, who now
claims to be his widow. She nursed him
and prolonged his life after the doctors
had abandoned hope. II am in q posi-
ton to state positively" said one friend,
that the woman's hand was sought in
marriage by rich and well-known New
Yorker. He lives in splendid style on
Fifth avenue and is prominent in social
history and did not conceal his wooing
from Stokes. It was a brilliant oppor-
tunity. But Stokes was then in the grip
Of the malady destined to kill him. So
she refused the man who would have
given her his name and chung to the dy-
ing man who needed her most. For
Stokes to marry her after that test of
her loyalty would not have been strange"
1t is worth something to be in the
United States, even if one hasn't cent.
This was demonstrated the other day in
a peculiar case which was brought to the
attention of the superintendent of the
outdoor poor. An Armenian was brought
in as destitute person. He came from
Turkey three years ago and went to
Philadelphia, where he became connect
cd with the Westminster Presbyterian
church. According to the mans story
he came to New York few days ago
and was held up downtown and robbed
CT $500, all he had. Being destitute, he
was referred to the Outdoor Poor de-
partment. AS the man has no, legal resi-
dence in this city the superintendent
only course will be to turn him over to
the state authorities, who will send him
back to Philadelphia. If he has not a
legal residence in Pennsylvania he will,
no doubt. be sent back to Turkey, whence
he Originally came.
