Mrs. Carew and Her Crime.
THE NEW MAYBRICK CASE. •
Now that the death sentence or Mrs
Edith Careiw has been commuted to
life imprisonment by Sir E. M.
Satoiw, the British minister to Japan, the
ease is an exact parallel of the more fam
ous Maybrick case of London. In both cases
the husband was accustomed to consume
large quantities of poison; in both the wid
ow was not suspected until some time after
■the victim’s death; in both the drug used
was arsenic; in both letters were found
from another man to the wife anticipating
marriage with her; both women were sen
tenced to death and the sentences of both
were commuted to imprisonment during life.
Mrs. Carew's case is. in every detail, quite
as interesting as that of Mrs. Maybrick.
But Mrs. Maybrick has one advantage. She
did not tamper with the documentary evi
dence. It is doubtful whether a conviction
could have been had in the Carcw case had
not Mrs. Carew been caught almost in the
very act of stealing part of an exhibit of
evidence. The missing document was found
concealed in the cuff of her jacket.
* * •
The Carcws were Members of 'the fashion
able set in the English colony at Yokohama.
Japan. They lived in a pretty house o:.
“The Bluff,” that quarter of the city se:
apart for foreign residents. The family had
been in Japan since 1X90. Mr. Carew—whose
full name was Walter Raymond hallowed
Carew—went to Yokohama from Singapore,
in India, where he was in the government
civil service. After his arrival in the big
Japanese town he was made secretary of
the Yokohama United club. Mr. Carew was
well known and very popular, and he
and Mrs. Carew were favorites in the best
from that moment Mrs. Carew was never
clear of doubt.
* * *
Miss Jacob, in her testimony before tihe
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 con
siderable quantities of arsenic the day be
fore and the day before that, too. Miss
Jacob did not inform Mrs. Carew of the
conversation with the chemist, but did 'tell
Sirs. 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 sister’s having
bought so much poison. The governess tes
tified that Mrs. Carew alone attended to the
work of nursing her husband. The servants
of the house had no part in this work. It
was the wife who administered all the med
icine. Mr. Porch was often in his brother-
in-law’s room to inquire after his condition.
Mr. Porch himself testified that he had oft-
“n seen his sister administer medicine to
arew, and it was otherwise shown in the
evidence offered that at least three ounces
of Fowler’s solution hail been used
in the Carew house within three days.
* * *
The case seemed to be somewhat compli
cated by the testimony of the widow her-
df. She told of a mysterious woman,veiled,
a black, who had called at the house to see
.er husband. This woman, she said, was a
rertain Annie Luke with whom Mr. Carew
had a liaison before his marriage. The widow
said that this woman had followed Mr.
Carew to Japan. She produced a number of
letters supposed to have been written by
the mysterious woman, in which reference
was made to “the foolish wife.” The police
made every effort to locate this Annie Luke,
but failed completely. It was shown that a
veiled woman had once called at the Carew
house during the absence of Mrs. Carew,
but it was believed that it was Mrs. Carew
English society in Japan. The case was.
therefore, one of special interest, and owing
to its close resemblance to the famous May
brick case was widely published after Mrs.
Carew was put on trial for her life.
» * «
Mrs. Carew is a handsome woman of 29, of
good English family. Her father is the
Mayor of Glastonbury in Cornwall, and be
fore her marriage to Walter Carew in May,
1SS9. she was Miss Edith Mary Porch, blie
was a charming girl, and although her hus
band was liftet n years older than she. the
match was considered a happy one. Carcw s
family belongs to the best gentry in Eng
land. U1s father is Major Carcw, of Ex
mouth. in Devon, and the dead man.was an
Englishman of the sturdy, athletic type. He
met his wife at a ball in the country, loved
her and after a rather short engagement
they were married. Carew’s family was not
without political influence, and the young
man was given a desirable position in the
Indian civil service. After one year s resi
dence in India an opportunity presen tea
itself for better advancement in Yokohama,
and thither the couple went to Jive. Mrs
Carew was rather vain of her beauty and
her talent as an amateur of the stage, and
she was widely admired in the English col
ony for both. * * *
One day last October Mr. Carcw was sud
denly stricken with illness. The family phy
sician was sent for. and he was puzzled
with the patient's symptoms. His medicines
seemed only to make the malady more pro
nounced. The doctor advised J* d Vhc ad
be taken to the marine hospital. The ad
vice was followed, and the Englishman soon
afterward die, in great pain. The nospitul
physicians did not like “the looks of the case
and decided to investigate In the post
mortem it was found that the dead man s
viscera was full of arsenic, and tins dis-
I'f„ rv se t the legal machinery in motion,
and the coroner was called in The testi-
a ' „ it the inquest was remarkable. It was
round ou-t from Mary Jacob, a “ urse ^ y ^ ov ’'
in the Oare*w household, that Mrs.
was in the custom of purchasing
large quantities of arsenic from Japanese
druggists. Just before Carew s death lie.
mistress had sent her for an extraordinar
ily large quantity of Fowlers solution, a
nj i.irgi i ars enic, and for sugar of
lead!* 1 This testimony aroused suspicion, and
ernes
Carew
herself cn masque. In the letters supposed
to have come from “Annie Luke.” that mys
terious person hinted at suicide, but no
trace of her could lie found. The veiled
woman is believed to be a pure fabrication
of Mrs. Carew’s to divert suspicion from
herself.
* * *
An interesting feature of the case is con
tained in certain letters from a Mr. Dickin
son. a member of the branch Hong Kong
Bank at Yokohama, in which Dickinson en
treats Mrs. Carew to secure a divorce from
Carcw and promises to marry her as soon
as she shall succeed in doing so. The coro
ner's jury returned a verdict saying that
Carew had come to his death at the hands
of some unknown person, but popular feel
ing ran high against the widow, and a war
rant for her arrest was issued. She was
tried before the British consular court. In
process of trial the fact was disclosed that
the letters supposed to have been written by
"Annie Luke” were inscribed upon paper
that Mr. Carew was in the custom of using
in his correspondence. A number of frag
ments of a torn sheet which had been col
lected by the governess and sewn together
were produced, and found to have been one
of the “Annie Luke” letters. During the
proceedings in court one of the letters was
missed. The judge ordered 'the doors looked
and that a search be made. The missing
letter wa.s found eon coaled in the cuff of
Mrs. Carew's mantle, and this sensational
discovery had a very damaging effect upon
her ease. The two attorneys who were de
fending her were certain of an acquittal, but
when they found their client resorting to
this sort of subterfuge they at once with
drew from tlie case. Other lawyers toook
up the defense a.nd carried it to the end...but
the effect on 'the minds of the jury by Mrs.
Carew’s peculiar conduct in concealing part
of the documentary evidence spoiled the
case, and a verdict of guilty was rendered.
* * *
Meanwhile Miss Jacob, the governess,
was arrested on suspicion, although no one
could give a satisfactory reason why. She
was held pending the result of the trial of
Mrs. Carew and was released when the
verdict camc in. It was 'believed that Miss
Jacob was the author of the “Annie Luke”
letters, which are now conceded to be a
pure fabrication on the part of Mrs. Carew
herself.

SOU POETS.
MY LITTLE SWEETHEART.
You ask me to 'tell the story?
Sweetest sitory I kno-w;
Would you believe it—every word?
Indeed, you would, I trow.
So dear to me and sweet it has
Grown of my life a part;
This bright, charming reality.
My dear little sweetheart.
Her form’s so full of beauty rare,
Of poetry and grace.
That nature bids you watch and listen
While fairies give her place.
Bu't her dainty tread, so airy.
And happy, elfish start,
When she bids you welcome, bring smiles
For my little sweetheart.
Eyes which 'beam’with joy and gladness.
Yet fairer when in tears.
Their limpid depths of gray are saddened.
Like mists of buried years.
Brcwn curls a framework for her face,
And rosebud lips a part
Of the multitude of graces
Of my little sweetheart.
None of the eoqueit's wiles abound
In her dear heart, so true;
Filled with earnest sincerity,
Gentleness and love, too.
'Tis this which makes pride throb so loud
And strong in my fond heart.
She’s true to all. and true to me,
My fair little sweetheart.
And when from tihe world’s busy way
I come, with tired feet,
'Tis hapy love for love she gives,
And smiles of joy to greet.
Tier rnw itglui.v ciaspt u round my necky'-
And head so near my heart,
(Which throbs with satisfied content),
Rests true little sweetheart.
No safer haven does she wish.
You’d find no happier soul
Than mine, in its exultant pride.
On land or ocean’s roll.
Would you know this fairest lady,
Who never loves in part?
Well, she’s yet a tiny baby.
My own—my dear sweetheart!
CARRIE C. RICE.
THE OLD YEAR.
JO, I LOVE YOU SO-
Again I stand by the dear old spring.
Which you made doubly dear to me, Joe;
And memory carries me back to the time
When you told me that you loved me so.
You left me. swearing eternal truth,
And I believed you enteirely, Joe.
I had no doubt but wliat you could stand
the test;
Though you were weak, you loved me so.
You could stand the glitter of her gold,
And for such you have sold your soul, Joe.
Spend it, enjoy it if you possibly can.
For companionship with her will only
bring you woe.
Farewell, ever dear, precious friend;
Of heaven your happiness I implore, Joe.
Do your duty, I freely you forgive,
But once I was weak and I loved you so.

ONCE IN A WHILE.”
Once ln a while the bright sun sihines.
Once in a while the skies are blue.
Once in a while .the darkest clouds
.Must let the stars of faith shine through.
Our paths are paths of “pleasantness,”
Where sweetest blossoms nod and smile,
And we forget earth’s toil and care
Once in a while.
Once in a while we feel the clasp
Of a friendly hand within our own;
Once in a while we hear a voice
Thait whispers we'are not alone. '
Life for a time is a dream of joy.
Fairy visions our thoughts beguile.
Each thirsting flower is kissed with dew.
Once in a while.
Once in a while, when all seems dark.
When hope is dead and love has gone.
We find a friend, who gently bids
The star oif faith shine bravely on.
Hopes we dare not speak come true.
Life’s journey seems a golden mile.
Bliss unspeakable is ours,
Once in a while.
Once in a while, in the desert waste.
We find a spot of purest green;
Once ln a while, from a dreary place,
The ’hills of Paradise are seen.
And faith and hope and love are ours,
And bliss the world cannot defile, ^
We have ithe joy of heaven on earth
Once in a while.

The year has not been as I hoped.
Not as I planned, not as I thought;
Some things have come I did not ask.
And some have vanished that I sought.
But it has been as Thou hast willed,
As Thou hast seen it best for me;
Ail'd, knowing this, my heart lifts up
Its voice in gratitude to Thee.
Thanks for the given, and withheld,
The good and ill of every day.
Thanks for the self-laid plans o'erruled.
Thanks that I have not had my way.
Unworthy of Thy smallest gift,
I backward look, amazed to see.
Like golden beams through all the year,
Thy helpful, loving thought of me.
I ask no more than Thou hast given.
Who art so kind, so wise, so just;
Save deeper sense of Thy vast love,
And more of thankfulness and trust.

Within his house a man 'lay sick.
So sick indeed that death was near;
And friends and kindred ’sembled quick,
In woe his dying words to bear.
The man began in gasping tone—
His meagre strength was ebbing fast:
“Oh, friends, my kindred and my own,
Mourn not for me when life is past.
“But heed ye well the words I say.
Into your 'hearts oh, take 'them deep;
I’ll soon be on the happy way.
I’ll soon be in the lasting sleep.
“The things of earth quick fade away,
They fade amid the woes of man;
And man himself has but a day,
A day alone his earthly span.
“Then look beyond this paltry sphere!
Look up! look up! with broad’ning view;
And list not to the tempter 'here.
But live for 'life above the blue!
“The .world’s afloat, the things around—
They point with mighty hand to One
Whose rule extends without a hound.
Who rules, who reigns till space is done.’
The voice grey faint, the face more pale.
And lower drooped the weary head;
From those anear arose a wail,
For oh, the man—the man was dead!

A GIRL AND A SONG.
Near the borders of Dismal Swamp,
O’er a rough and tiresome way,
A column of marching soldiers came.
All clad in dusty gray;
Their monotonous tramp had sounded
O’er many a weary mile—
Footsore—but sturdily—on they marched
With scarce a jest or smile.
The long gray column wound and turned,
With the rough road's bend and wind.
The marching front now full in sight.
The rear long yards behind.
Seems to me that heaven is nearer,
Nearer to my soul tonight;
Seems as if the veil were thinner.
Shutting angels from my sight;
And my heart, with strange, new yearning.
Goes out to the great Unknown.
Do the angels call? I wonder
Do the spirits seek my own?
Coming! Yes, each day that’s passing
Warns me that the end is near.
And I shrink no more when thinking
Of the tomb, the pall, the bier.
Let no 'bitter tears be falling,
Friends, whose 'hearts bold love for me.
While my soul is passing swiftly
Over yon bright silver sea.
For I’m weary, weary, weary!
Oh, .the shore is 'most in sight!
Soon, oh, soon, must be the passing;
Heaven seems so near tonight.

THE MAN.
Now through a dark swamp’s mire and -mud,
Now up a ridgy pine-clad islope,
Now through a hollow 'low.
Sometimes they wind past clearings wide
With huts of pine logs made—
Anon, the long gray length is hid
Mid a forest’s sombre shade.
The natives, rough and ignorant.
In primitive speech so rude.
Oft 'turned the boys’ spirits sad
To a gayer, 'lighter mood.
Weary—footsore, with silent Ups,
They grimly marched that day:
When a sudden wave of merriment
Swept down the line of gray.
And .the soldiers turned them rearward,
Their weary bodies bent.
And craned their necks to try and learn
What the merry tumult meant.
There were loud, tumultuous cheerings,
And caps .waved 'high in air.
As “four abreast” the column passed
A rustic maiden fair.
There were sounds of rippling laughter
From lips erstwhile so dumb,
And gay»ly moved with quickened .pace
The limbs erstwhile so numb.
And this is what each soldier saw.
As gayly he stepped by,
And here’s what caused each hand to raise
A dusty cap on high.
The buxom country maiden sang
In voice heard near and far,
“Hurrah! for the bonny blue flag
That bears the single star!”
Brigade after brigade passed by—
The maid sang as they passed—
Till from afar the hurrying rear
Had come in sight at last;
And there they left her singing,
In voice heard near and far,
“Hurrah! for the bonny blue flag
That bears the single star!”
As in the campfire’s ruddy gleam
Their weary limbs recline
Upon the coaches improvised
From the retsinous long-leaf pine,
They hopefully talk of meeting
Once more the loved ones far,
And loudly cheer the bonny blue flag
That bears the single star.
Long years ago this happened,
'Twas the spring of '63,
And most who marched and cheered that day
On earth no more we see;
They have gathered beyond Death’s river.
To rest in cooling shade.
And dwell for aye in the mansions
Christ's loving care hath made.

BELGIUM’S ROYAL SCANDAL
Tne Antecedents of Princess Louise and Her
Paramour.
The world was startled the other day at
the news, cabled from Berlin, that Princess
Louise, the eldest daughter of King Leopold
II of Belgium and wife of Prince Phil'Iipe of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, had eloped with an
Austrian officer of hussars.
The princess is now exactly 39 years of age,
having been born in 1X5S Two children have
been born of her union with Prince Philippe.
The first, a boy, Leopold Clement Philippe
August Marie, was born in Hungary in 1X78;
the second, a girl, Dorothie Marie Henriette
Augustine Louise, was born in Vienna in
1881.
Prince Philippe, the deserted husband, is
a lieutenant general in the Bulgarian army,
chevalier of the Austrian order of the Goit
ers r.rrtt, ar.C. bear: tVrc title •>£
ness.
Just why the princess should have found
it necessary to attract public attention by
means of an elopement it is difficult to under,
stand, for any one who has any knowledge of
Viennese society is perfectly aware that she
was left free to amuse herself as she listed
and that if her husband neglected her he, at
any rate, never dreamed of interfering with
her.
Princess Louise is a particular favorite
PRINCESS LOUISE.
of Queen Victoria, the only one, indeed of
the descendants of her favorite uncle, the
late King Leopold of Belgium, with whom
her Britannic majesty has been able to get
along. For the present King Leopold him
self is regarded with abhorrence at Windsor
in consequence of his name having repeated
ly" figured in the scandals in London.
Leopold's conduct is too bad even for the
Prince of Wales, who gives him a wide berth
and with his wicked little, leering eyes, his
extraordinarily long nose, his snow white
beard and his limp, this monarch, who is
not merely a grandfather, but destined to
become within the next two or three years
a great-grandfather, conveys the idea and
the impression of a 'hoary satyr. YY ith such
a father it is not astonishing that Princess
Louise should have had notions that were
somewhat vague with regard to moral prin
ciples. She received but scant attention from
her mother, who is half-crazed and devotes
her entire time to her horses and dogs, both
of which she trains to do tricks.
Prince Philippe is rated quite low in the
brilliant throng of princes and potentates of
all kinds who make the court of Austria
their headquarters. Moreover. Prince Phil
ippe has never been popular with, either the
emperor or empress. He is a terrible drunk
ard, and probably the only quality to recom
mend him is that of joviality’.
The man who eloped with the princess is
Chevalier 'Heinrich von Gablenz-Eskeles,
captain of the Eleventh hussars. He is 40
> _ ears old and comes of a distinguished fam
ily. He is a nephew of the famous warrior,
the Austrian General Gablenz.

From The Advance, Ogdensburg. N. Y.
The picture of health is Mrs. Ferdinand
Bouchard, who resides in one of the apart
ments in the Hamill Block, at Ogdensburg,
N. Y. Yet for years she has been almost an
invalid.
“I came to Ogdensburg from Montreal. P.
Q., four years ago,” said she to a reporter.
“Previous to coming here I was very sicK
and my life was despaired of. I was first
taken with what was thought to have been
dyspepsia. Then my’ kidneys gave me great
trouble, and. oh, I suffered untold misery.
“I can't tell you what was the matter with
me, but I know that for eight years I suf
fered from tortures almost indescribable. I
was confined to my bed several months, .and
even after I was able to be dressed and to
be around the house I could do nothing.
“I had severe pains and a dragging down
feeling in my back and hips. I would get
up in the morning feeling much more tired
than when I went to bed. had no appetite,
was extremely nervous, so much so that I
involuntarily jumped at every’ noise, could
do nothing and was badly discouraged. Then
la grippe took hold of me.
"Several physicians treated me at different
times, but they didn’t seem to help me. as
I only’ grew worse. Finally the last doctor
in attendance told me he could do nothing
for me, as mine was a hopeless care and I
could not live long.
“About that time my’ mother wrote me
that she had read of a very similar ease ;o
mine that had been cured by Dr. YVilliums’
Pmk Pills for Pale People, and as a last re
sort I resolved to try them.
“Two boxes were taken before I began to
feel any real benefit. I continued taking
them until I had used ten boxes. I now do
my own work, eat and sleep well, am not
nervous, suffer no pain, in a word I am well.
“Before I was taken sick I weighed 130
pounds and was quite strong, but as my
strength left my weight fell to barely 100
pounds, but today it is 141 pounds, and I
feel better than I have at any time for fif
teen years past.
"Yes, I think Pink Pills are an excellent
remedy. They have done much for me. and
I have recommended them to my friends,
some of whom have used them with benefi
cial results.”
Dr. YVilliams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
are not a patent medicine in the sense that
name implies. They were first compounded
as a prescription and used as such in gen
eral practice by an eminent physician. So
great was their efficacy that it was deemed
wise to place them within the reach of all.
They are now manufactured by the Dr. YVill-
iams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady. N.
Y., and are sold in boxes (never in loose form
by the dozen or hundred, and the public are
cautioned against numerous imitations sold
in this shape) at 50.cents a box, or six boxes
for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists or
direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine
Co.
