CLAIMS THE TURKISH THRONE

"Princess” Eugenie Paleologo, whoresides in West Kensington, England, has documents in her possession which she says prove her descent from the Byzantine emperors who reigned in Constantinople before it was captured by Mohammad IV., and so she lays claim to the Turkish throne. The real name of the "princess” is -Mrs. Emund Wickham, and she is the widow of an English cotonel. Her claims are ridiculed by genealogical authorities, who assert that- the imperial family of Paleologo has been-extinct for many centuries.
