SUBTLE POISON USED ON GIRL Even Skilled Chemists Baffled by the Clark Mystery KILLED BY UNKNOWN DRUG Beautiful English Girl Comes to Strange Death in New York Hotel could have become so marked. Remarkable for Beauty.

New York, Feb. 19. Some highly potential poison not generally known even to many chemists and so powerful as to destroy the organs of the body within a few hours after its ministration caused the death of Miss Lucille Clark, the beautiful English girl who died a mysterious death in the Hotel Grenoble. This fact was shown to-day by a statement made by the nurse who attended Miss Clark while she was dying. The nurse has vanished but before she disappeared she related to a friend that she had never attended a case so strange as that of Miss Clark.

The poison first affected the toes and fingers, then knees and finally the heart and all the while the dying woman did not know that she was dying. It was a grewsome story and one that shocked even the police. The police for the time being are baffled because the coroner's physicians cannot find a name for the mysterious drug. They think that it must a poison known only in foreign climes and amongst foreign people. The British consul has become interested in the case and is using all influence at his command to have the mystery cleared up.

He, as well as others, think it almost beyond belief in the time that eclipsed between Miss Clark's death at 9.30 o'clock Friday morning and the autopsy this afternoon decomposition All who knew Miss Clark unite in saying that her beauty was remarkabl. She was of the highest type of English girl. Of medium height, she possessed a superb figure and splendid carriage. Her hair was of and very abundant. Her eyes were blue, set far apart and her complexion was typically fair English "peaches and cream." Miss Clark has been in New York since October.

Her father who is now dead. was a well known English army officer who won distinction in the service. Her. brother is said to be an in her father's old regiment. officers Clark appeared at the Grenoble on October 10, when she rented an apartment from Mrs.

A. W. Miller. Soon after she was joined by a Mr. and Mrs.

Fry, of London, England. Tuesday night the Frys and Miss Clark, together with Louis E. Whicher, a cotton broker, went out to dinner as the guests of a Mrs. Adler. Soon after returning to the hotel from the dinner Miss Clark became ill.

Dr. Oastler was called in and diagnozed the young woman's trouble as tomaine poisoning. In spite of the illness of Miss Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Fry left the hotel, saying they were bound for Santa Bar- bara, Cal.

Miss Clark Well Known. Miss Clark steadily became worse died on Thursday. Drs. Oastler and Bastedo said that the reason made it a coroner's case was that Miss Clark had died alone away from her friends and the physicians thought it best that an official investigation be made. Miss Lucille Clark, though comparatively unknown in New York, was very well known in England where her father's connections and her own personal qualities gave her the entree to the circles of the higher aristocracy.

A guest of hers at a recent reception in this city found that she was an intimate friends of the Chamberlains, she knew the Hon. Dorothy, and Violet Vivian, maids of queen and was nected with the St. Aubyns. Two brothers of Miss. Clark are on the sea now heading England and there is a younger sister who is at school in a convent in Belgium.

Professore Percival Lowell, whos name is being prominently mentioned in connection with the planet Mars is, unlike the average dry-as-dust scientist. of fiction, a man of infinite humor. At a dinner recently he told an story of an old woman amusing, as housekeeper, to which he made a sporting offer. "Janet," he said to her one day, "the very next planet I discover I will make you a present of five dollars." "You are very kind, sir," she replied, "and I am sure I hope you will soon discover one." Several months went by, and no planets were discovered. "The fact of the matter is, ma'am," confided the old woman at last to Mrs.

Lowell, "I do think the professor goes out at night and discovers planets on the sly." The jeweler lad left his new boy in charge of the store while he went bome to his dinner, but not until he cautioned the youth that all the goods marked and that he must not were let any one take goods with him unless they were paid for. "Well, Sam," he asked upon his return, "did you have any customers?" "You bet," said Sam gleefully.
