That occult power which sways and

having ordained that the Vanderbilts should
come TO Washington, further elected that
they should patronize the most fashionable
greengrocer and marketmen. Consequently, Y,
when one fine day last week one of his
oldest customers sauntered over to the
greengrocer's STALL she was informed that
her usual order for game could not be
filled. Tie Vanderbilts had already been
ahead of her, and, SO TO speak, had made
a corner on game by purchasing the entire
suppl. The same thing happened at the
fish stall, and SO on down through the
list. Then the woman went home angry,
and, OF course, talked over the matter
with the other women of her set, only to
find that they had been undergoing the
identital experience. The next move looked
for is a rercepuble rise in the already
gilt-edged price OF marketing for all Gus
toners who patroniZe the same marketmeu
as the Vanderbiits. 1t is by no means
unlikely that during the stay of the multi
millionaire's family in Washington, the
marketmen will be coming gold on what

Miss Jacob, in her testimony before the
coroner, said that the druggist had asked her
for what purpose her mistress wanted so
much deadly poison. The woman said she
did not know, whereupon the druggist told
her that Mrs. Carew had bought consider
able quantities of arsenic the day before
and the day before that, too. Miss Jacob
did not inform Mrs. Carew OF the con-
versation with the chemist, but did tell
Mrs. Carew's brother, Mr.. Porch, who ex-
pressed surprise at the impudence OF the
man. Mr.. Porch did not seem to be struck
with the significance of his sisters having
bought so much poison. The governess
testified that Mrs. Carew alone attended to
tile work of nursing her husband. The
servants Of the house had no part in this
work. 1t was the wife who administered all
tile medicine. Mr.. Porch was often in his
brotllerin-law's room to inquire after his
condition Mr.: Porch himself testified that
lie had often seen his sister administer medi-
cine to Carew, and 1t was otherwise shown
in tile evidence offered that at least three
ounces of Fo wler' ssolution had been used in
the Carew house within three days.

One day last October Mr.. Carew was
suddenly stricken with illness. The fam
lily physician was sent for, and he was
puzzled with the patient symptoms. His
medicines seemed only 20 mai the malady
more prom ounced. The doctor advised
that Carew be takento the Marine Hospital.
The advice was followed and the English
man soon afterward died in great pain.
The hospital physicians did not like the
looks of the case and decided to investigate.
In the post mOrtem it was found that the
dead mans viscera were full OF arsenic,
and this discovery set the legal machinery
in motion and the coroner was called in.
The testimony at the inquest was remarka-
BILE. was found out from Mary Jacob,
nursery governess in the Carew household,
that Mrs. Carew was in the custom OF pur-
chasing large quantities of arsenic from
Japanese druggists. Just before Carew's
death her mistress had sent her for an
extraordinarily large quantity of Fowler's
solution, a preparation of arsenic, and for
sugar of lead. This testimony aroused
suspicion, and from that moment Mrs. Ca
rev was never clear of doubt.
