Was Mercedes Poisoned,

Poor little Queen Mercedes of Spain Over
her eravo are uttered many lamentations for
Tho doubly dead ia that she died SO young;
lamentations not 50 much because she was a
princess though, doubtless, With many that
fact would lend much charm-as becau]c The
royal Spanish marriag, had been genuine
love match, and because 10 those hyo short
months she had won golden opinions trom all
sorts Of people.
II is start!iag, however, to SO it openly stated
in print that suspicious Of foul play are rlie,
and that even the name Of the person who ad
ministered the drug has been mentioned. -
There were, it rs true, other rcasona |hy she
should have been out Of health; but latteIy
the symptoms had been clearly those of arsenl-
cal poisoning. The poor young girl. who pass
cd her eighteenth birthday on her sick bed,
had, it is said, terror OF the near approach CT
death, and earnestly implored the phytlclsns
around her to sage her life. The last struggle
was loog and violent.
Happily her mother, who for sometime
past had been exceedingly uncomfortable
about Mercedes, and was but too Well
aware Of The iGimical it0u,nees surround:
Jog Allonso's Giic yet was herself debarred
