CHINESE MINISTER AS CUPID
Testing Remark Made by WI Ting
Fang Led to the Union Of Two
Loving Hearts.

WI Ting Fang was, while minister
at Washington, attending the wedding
of the daughter Of the chief justice
at that time. At the breakfast he
asked one Of the bridesmaids when 1t
would be her turn to become a bride
She mOdestly said that she did not
know, as she had not yet had an Of
fer Turning to group of young men,
Doctor WI jOCularly remarked to one
of them, This is a beautiful lady,
would you not like to marry herr"
he replied, 81 should be most delight
ed to-" "WiIl you accept his otfer?'
said Doctor WI to the bridesmaid.
She seemed slightly embarrassed and
said something to the effect that as
she did not know the gentleman she
could not give a definite answer.
Meeting the Chinese minister at an
"at home" few days later, she scold-
ed him for his bluntness, and he ex-
cused himself by saying that he was
actuated by the best of motives.
A few months afterward WI re-
ceived an invitation from the young
lady's parents to attend her marriage.
The bridegroom was the young man
who had figured in the unconventional
incident. To Wu's agreeable surprise
the mother Of the bride informed him
that it was he who had first brought
the young couple together, and both
bride and bridegroom heartily thanked
him for his good offices.

The Washington times., 1922-07-16

A number of actions aiming at giving
Alfred exclusive control of the powder
business were begun. At the last he lost.
But It was costly fight for every one.
How many tens of millions Of dollars
were lost through it none knows.
In the meantime the second Mrs. Du
Pont went quietly on, finding her happi-
ness in bringing up little Alicia at Ne
mours.
But as Alicia grew older she grew to
know what her mother was suffering from
the family feud. She resented the social
ostracism that had been put upon her, and
as the years went by this resentment
deepened into a settled dislike for Pierre
and those of the Du Pont clan who fol-
lowed his banners.
The battle between the Du Points came
to an end-or rather truce was declared
early in 1920 when Alicia's mother died
suddenly on a railroad train. Alfred l.
brought the body to Nemours. For the
first time in years the great grilled gates
in the twelve-foot walls we're thrown open
to Pierre and his followers, and in the
face of death all factions of the family
dropped the feud and turned out for the
funeral. .- ....... I'll. . -...

mington gossip, is that Pierre Du Pont
aspires to be the next United States Sena-
tor from Delaware. He is pretty fairly
certain he cannot be Senator IL Papa Al
freds influence is turned against him.
Alicia Du Pont- -Glendenning can be
fairly said to have a great deal to do with
the control of Papa Alfred's influence.
And Alicia resents and has resented for
years Pierre and all those who have sided
with him-which takes in nearly three
fourths of all the Du Points.
And here is the reason for that.
When he was in his twenties Alfred i.
married Bessie Gardner, of Philadelphia.
1t was a match that suited perfectly all
the Du Pont clan.
Then came the Spanish-American war.
A Pennsylvania regiment was sent to
guard the Du Pont powder works at
Montchanin, a few miles out from Will
mington. Near there lived Edward G.
Bradford, a Judge Of the United States
Court, and his youngest and most beauti-
full daughter, Alicia.
Alicia was the toast of the regiment and
the belle of the brilliant functions with
which the officers were entertained. Nat
urally, Alfred l. Du Pont was present at
many of these functions. He. met and
grew to admire greatly Miss Alicia.
Everybody thought that she would
make a great match-and therefore when
she elected to become the wife Of George
Amory Maddox, the secretary Of Alfred,
everyone was much surprised. But the
powder king championed their romance
championed it, indeed, to an unusually
generous extent.
, A daughter was born promptly and
christened Alicia--the very Alicia who has
lust now become Mrs. Glendenning.
Then, most amazingly, Alfred l. went
out to Dakota and procured divorce
from his wife on the grounds of cruelty
and inhuman treatment.
Practically simultaneously, the beauti-
full Mrs. Maddox appeared at Carlisle,
Pa, with a large retinue of servants, took
an expensive residence and began suit for
divorce against Maddox. With extreme
swiftness and secrecy the divorce pro-
ceeded and the decree was granted.
Then Mr.. Du Pont married Mrs. Mad
dox! .E..
And Immediately the Du Pont clan
blew up with a report louder than as
IL it had been a half dozen of their own
powder factoriesl
The first Mrs. Du Pont made no secret
Of her resentment at what she thought
her outrageous treatment by her husband.
Pierre, Alfred's brother, and most Of the
Du Pont clan, backed her. When the
former Mrs. Maddox and the powder king
returned to Delaware, they found them
selves in Coventry. For the first time in
his life Alfred I. found himself in the
amazingly uncomfortable position of hav-
ing all kinds Of money and clothes and

and political upheavals than ever before
in the Du Pont State of Delaware.
Up in the little home in Connecticut
the mother of Glendenning is happy over
her sons fortune.
81 didn't know they were engaged"
she says, "until he cabled me. No-I
couldn't go to their wedding. But / viii
see them when they come home"
And when they DO, none. Of the Du
Points nor any fashionable lady of Della
ware will dare to snub Alicia's mother-in-
law, letter carriers wife though she may
have been. Just as Mr.. Dickens got the
gate of Nemours because he was unfair
as she thought to the honest workingman,
and just as the little snobs who objected
to her small guests in patches were invited
to pass out the same way-so win anyone
who dares to be other than most polite
to Mrs. Glendenning.
IL here aren't all the essentials made to
order for a perfect movie scenario or. q
modern fairy tale in real life 1t would be
mighty hard to find anything better. \

want to live there without that mother.
She had four millions of dollars to play
with that her mother had left her, beside
the unlimited allowance from Papa Alfred.
She went abroad, ostensibly, to study
singing under the famous tenor, Jean de
Reszke.
Then not many days ago came the an
nouncement of the actual engagement and
word that the two would be married late
in June.
The news was certainly a surprise to
= the Du Points and it was even more of
surprise to the family of young Glenden-
ming in their little home in Connecticut.
And it threatens to be a surprise with
all kinds of disconcerting elements for
Pierre Du Pont and his family-Pierre,
the equally rich brother of Alfred, and
u what might be called the co-powder king
of America.
For while Alicia is the heiress of the
majority of those millions of Alfred's,
she is not his oldest child to whom the
bulk of the fortune would ordinarily 60.
Indeed, she is not his own child at all!
No-the curious fact is that the oldest
3 child of Alfred and the son who bears his
name and who under ordinary circum-
stances WOulu iiHcIit Vic buhh VI hio
money have been practically disinherited.
So also has his real daughter.
Behind this odd situation lies the story
of romance and family feud following
II that threatened for a time to wreck
even the colossal fortune of the Du Points
and that turned the State of Delaware up
side-down, both politically and socially,
disturbed the peace and quiet of the great.
est financial houses in New York and
Europe, and seriously annoyed Washing
ton as well. , ;.-...
Papa Alfred conspicuously stayed away
from .his own daughter Bessie's wedding
when she married young Mr.. Reginald
Huidekoper, a lawyer and a son Of one
Of Philadelphia's really ancient families.
He didn't even send her a wedding pres
sent.
ding not only with bells on, as the saying
goes. but with his third wife-who is, by
the way, some forty years younger than
he Papa Du Pont gave Alicia away and
added greatly to her $4,000,OOO private
fortune, so 1t is said.
Al Bessie's wedding Uncle Pierre was
conspicuously present, together with
sb,,t fiftv other Du Points. Uncle Pierre
made up for Papa Alfred's negligence by
tr,,Iy rovaI presents, including q check
for. so it is said, $1,000,000l
But Uncle Pierre was not at Ahcia,s
wedding,-and IL he sent present it will
most probably be returned. All this
worries and win continue to worry Uncle
Pierre.
The reason for this, according to VIII
The Washington times., 1922-07-16

that his son. should not even bear his
name.
And so there was introduced into the
Delaware Legislature the most amazing
piece of legislation in the history of the
country. Without the knowledge of the
first Mrs. Du Pont or of the SON, bill
was presented to change the name of
young Alfred l., Jr., to Dorsey Cazenove
Du Pontl
The Legislature passed that bill
It went up to the Senate. There it
would also have gone through swimmingly
had not one of the Senators been more
friendly to Pierre than to Alfred. For a
time the fight centered on this change Of
name. The bill actually passed, however,
to be later vetoed by the then Governor.
Young Alfred l. still keeps his name.
But it is no secret that as little of his
fathers money as may be will go to him
when that father dies The natural heir
had been to all intents and purposes dis
inherited.
Then the battle ragged. Alfred began
suits for slander against q number Of his
close relatives. The basis of them was
that the second Mrs. Du Pont had been
kept from getting desirable invitations
and had been shut out of the society to
which she rightfully belonged by the
stories alleged to have been circulated by
these relatives. A...... ...
The fight entered the financial world.

The time = honored
Assembly balls Of Will
mington, all the more
important social func-
tions-well, no invita-
tions came to the Al
fred l. Du Points.
Alfred l. accepted
the challenge. The first
move he made was to
adopt formally Miss
.Alicia-then a little
tot of four years old.
He gave her his name
and announced her as
his heiress.
Then he made even
q more extraordinary
move.
His natural heir was,
Of course, his SON
Alfred l., Jr. But Al
fred, like the rest of
his children by his first
marriage, had sided
with his mother. In
