DISCOVERY OF POISON
MAY EFFECT SUIT

Paris.-Friends, relations and on
lockers are worked up to high pitch
of excitement over an impending law
suit by Mrs. Walker Fearn, a cousin
OF the late President Grant, to OBJ
tain an accounting of the vast prop
erty of her niece, Mrs. Wilkinson,
whose mysterious death was the SEN
sation of Paris some months ago.
Excitement is now intense because
very direct evidence of poisoning has
been discovered. This discovery. fol-
lowing so close on the attempt to
poison Nine. Claude Berton, the
daughter of DR.. John L. Phills of Sc
attic, has caused people to begin to
wonder If the poison route is the
usual way of getting rid of Ameri-
can women in Paris. The high
standing of Mrs. Walker Fearn, who
belongs to one of the oldest families,
is a presumption in her favor.
So as to be near at hand to push
the case to the bitter end, Mrs. Fearn
and her daughter, Mrs Barton
French, have taken an apartment in
No. II Avenue Victor Hugo. 1t ap-
pears that Marie Hewitt Wilkinson's
entire fortune went to the Count De
Montsaulnins and his family, con-
nected by marriage with Mrs. Wilkin-
son through the marriage of her
mother with the well known sports
man. L. Boruski. AS a matter OF fact
the real heirs are Mrs. Walker Fearn
the aunt OF the deceased and the Bar
oness De st. Bresson, the adopted
daughter of the late Mrs. Wilkinson
Newly discovered evidence has just
come to light regarding certain pois-
oned fruit and the sources from which
It was sent, the said fruit having been
delivered to Mrs. Wilkinson one week
before her death. The English nurse,
a Miss Marshall. has also lately been
discovered. Accusations against her
are very grave. for the evidence goes
to prove that she administered a
triple dose of morphine and strych-
nine to the dying woman.
Miss Marshall was dismissed by
Mrs. wilkinson shortly before she
died. The nurse then took refuge
with the De Montsaulnins. The
chemist who filled the fatal prescrip-
ton is also known. He lives in the

It does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches

must walk and bend and work with

yet arrived for the establishment of
a navy for a coast defense, but the
naval contribution to the empires

he continued, "to place the country In
such a position that we shall be able
to defend ourselves, and not be de-
pendent upon the mother country.

OLD SORES
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom Of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The inhamma-
ton, discharge, discolored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down in
the system there Is morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is cleansed
Of all impure matter and supplied
with nourishing and plasmic qualities
the infected condition of flesh is
OBLIGED to remain. S. S. heals
Old Sores in a perfectly natural way.

Impurities and morbid matters, adds
