DEATH REVEALS UNUS-
UAI LIFE STORY
Woman Posed As Husband
of Sister.

London, Eng, August 3-HarrY
Lloyd died in Enfield, England, recent
ly, aged IA Past norton develop
ments revealed the fact that Harry
Lloyd was a woman. She had lived for
80 years as a man, posing as tie nus
band Of her sister and the father Of
her sisters illegitimate child.
Investigation following this reve-
lation led to the unfolding of one of
those real life stories that 50 to prove
the truth of tae adage, truth is
stranger than fiction
Nearly so years ago there came TO
London a Belgian girl named Marie
Leroy, the daughter of a Belgium ar
my officer
She was highly educated and she
at once began to move in the society
Cf the so-caLed "free-thinkers"
AIMING whom We're Charles Brad
laugh, John Stuart Mill and others
Connected with the famous old Hall CT
Science. She earned a good living BY
teaching French, German and Elem
ish, and by making translations from
those tongues.
Thirty years ago Marie Leroy dis
appeared. She dropped from sight az
completely as though the earth had
opened up and swallowed her Friends
in educational circles made inquiries
for her but as she left no relatives
to worry about ber, there was no par
| ticular effort to locate her. She was
utterly forgotten a score of years ag9.
Thirty years ago there appeared i'll
London a certain Harry Lloyd and
his wife, Eliza. Harry Lloyd was
teacher of French, German and Elem
ish.
A few weeks after the Lloyds came
to London Eliza Lloyd gave birth to
child For 20 years TIE three lived
happily together where little Elizabeth
grew to womanhood Then the woman
died
That was 10 years ago Now Eliza.
! beth, bereft of her OTHER parent
whom she had always looked upon as
her father and for whom She has
cared tenderly for years, finds tina,
Harry Lloyd was her aunt.
| Thus Marie Leroy, the free thinker
disciple of those philosophers who
sought to batter down the walls CT
convention, made a sacrifice almost
without parallel in order that E,er sis
ter might be blameIess in the eyes OF
the world.
She died in mans clothing. and not
til after her death did anyone have
the shadow of a suspicion she was
other than she seemed. Even her
so-called daughter Elizabeth, failed to
get an inllling of the secret. The revo-
lation surprised her, as it did the rest
of the world
The facts in the case have not been
easy to get, since the two persons
who knew the facts first hand are dead,
but careful inquest has finally es-
tablished the identity of Harry LLOYD
with that of the lost Marie Leroy.

Auto Parade a Success.

The admirers Of automobiles were
given a treat last Monday a ternoon
when the good roads of the city held
over . hundred and fifty of as handsome
cars as are to be found in the state.
Owners of automobiles in Minter City
l tia Bena, Sidon, Schlater, and neigh
boring cities brought their cars to
Greenwood to join in the parade, and
when the parade began from the Court
House at two o'clock that afternoon the
streets were crowded with spectators,
As the procession went down Market
street, turned into Washi ngton and
headed for the park. over three
thousand people we're scattered over
the streets watching the procession.
Over twelve hundred baseball fans
followed them to the game. Those in
charge of the parade wish to thank the
auto owners for the interest they mani
tested In the event.

two innings failed to arouse any sus-
pieion, but as each inning fast and more
furious came hits and errors. Dodson,
Mcdonald, Thornton, Kelley and Rolling
for Greenwood, and McCay, Porterfeld
and Lawler for Meridian had no mercy
on the opposing twirler. In the third
two hits and as many error gave Meri-
dian three runs, which handed her a
lead of two runs. But in our half Of the
inning we we're treated to an aviation
meet. Balls were booted, scared
through the atmosphere, kicked, scuf1ed
and choked. All this in~terspersed with
leaguers and t~wo-baggers Melted four
runs for us in both the third and fourth
innings. In the seventh McCay's boys
got into the batfest and with the aid of
two errors sent five cross the plate.
This seemed to anger Woodie, who
asked for another exhibition of aviation,
and our boys added five in their half to
choke the visitors chance to tie. In
the last inning Meridian slipped in an
other which left the result 16 to 8. The
weather was cool to McCay's men and
they seemed contented with their high
minded playing and never came close
to earth until the last inning when they
BANKED our boys.
Here's how the swatfest happened:

Who Know Say That
Figures Won't Pass This
Mark.

With the census and the
checking up on it practically
complete today it is admitted
that not more'than 2l5,OO0 peo-
pie will be counted as the popu-
lation Of Seattle.
While Supervisor Hill re-
fuses to make any statement for
publication regarding the popu-
lation Of Seattle that will be
shown by the census taken
under his direction, he IS known
20 have stated several times re-
Gently that il would not be over
2l5,000. and that II it did go
over that number he would be
inclined to believe that some
mistake had been made, that a
duplication or overcount had
occurred some place.
From the first day that he
and his enumerators began TAX
ing the census Hill has stated
that he thought that there
were few, If any, more than
100000 people in this city. De-
spite all arguments and claims
TO the contrary, he has held to
this opinion right along and has
been heard several times recent
ly TO express the opinion that he
would be discredited as an
honest census taker if the count
should run over 2l5,O00.
All the enumeraiors will have
their final reports by tomorrow
and the results will be rushed to
Washington. The civic bureau
practically completed its work
today and will be all through by
