POISONED AT \ WEDDING.
Chicken Salad gets In Its Work on About
Fifty Guests at Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, August 14.-It has
lust become known that many OF the
guestes who attended the wedding
Wednesday night of William G. Win
chester and Elvaretta +. Palmer, are
still confined to their beds as result of
eating some chicken salad which con-
tanned a poisonous substance. II was
at first feared that some OF the cases
would prove fatal, but the physicians
in attendance now proclaim their
patients out of danger.
About fifty guests were present at the
wedding, and almost all OF them were
more or less affected. Nothing unusual
was noticed until about two hours after
supper. when several guests complained
Of feeling i'll and left for their homes.
The symptoms were vomiting and
cramps, and the suffering OF those
afflicted was terrible. The bride and
groom were among those affected. The
couple left to take the Cleveland boat
on their wedding tour, but the bride be-
come so i'll on the way that they stopped
at the home OF Mrs. Julia Henderson.
A portion OF the suspected salad has
been preserved for analysis. DR.. Dakin
has some OF it, and partial analysis
has been made without result. 1t is
believed by some that the sugar used
for frusting the wedding cakes contain
ed the poisonous ingredients, and this
will also be analYzed.

BEHIND CLOSED Doors.

The chamber of commerce will meet
this morning, as usual. at o'clock, but
its relatives and friends are not invited
to attend the melancholy occasion. This
is not because any measures demanding
especial secrecy Will be under consider
alton, but the chamber some weeks ago
voted to dissolve itself into perpetual
executive session. Henceforth and until
further notice it will sit behind closed
doors. The interested public which was
wont to throng the galleries on sue
cessiye Mondays may now look all it
pleases through the uncurtained win
dows, but it will not be permitted to
hear single word of the wisdom which
is uttered. A channel has been con-
structed through which the results of
its deliberations will percolate into the
outside world, but no sardiDe box is
more Theoretically sealed than will be
its meeting place while debates are
waging.
The chamber of commerce is an or
gaulzation of the leading business men
of st. Paul, and whatever it does is ell
titled to respectful treatment. But the
GLOBE is inclined to believe that 1t is
proceeding Oh false tack in this latest
move. Its theory seems to be that,
under the safeguard of privacy,its mem
bers will express their views with
greater frankness and completeness than
were they harassed ty the sight of the
reporters Dimble pencil. The fallacy in
ic in 10 /
to exclude reporters from such gather
ings. The representatives. of the press
may be denied admission to the room,
but if anything interesting happens
they will be sure to learn it just as fully
as though they had been present. The
only difference will be that the records
OF the meetings. instead OF being pre-
sented by skilled and responsible
hand, will reach the city's ear with the
inaccuracy of gossip retalled by mat
tentiye and anonymous listeners.
Newspapers in these days laugh at
bolts and bars with Cupid's defiance. 1t
is useless to deny them information.
They have as many reporters as there
are men and women in the world. and
all creation is in the service, running to
them with tidlngS of whatever is said
or Thought or undertaken. If the GLOBE
cared to print every morning everything
which it knew about contemporary
events, fifty sheets would not contain the
matter, and no one who had been guilty of
sin or folly the night before would dare
to open its pages. The chamber OF com
mcrce will continue to be an influ-
entail body, but it will be so in
spite of its declaration of war
on the press. Whoever among its mem
bers has anything to say which is worth
the saying, ought to be glad of the news
papers work, because it increases his
audience a thousand fold. And the
member whose remarks will suffer il
exposed to the light of print will not es-
cape publicity, no matter how clustered
the meeting he addresses.
