FREE LOVERS

The Peculiar Doctrines of a Commu-
nifty on Chincoteague Island.
A community consisting of about 40
families and numbering nearly 200 are now
attracting considerable attention on 'Chinco-
league Island and the upper part of Acco-
mac county on account of their peculiar
doctrines and the free-love tendency of the
same. They have their settlement on the
upper end of Chincoteague Island, and they
style themselves "Christ's Holy Sanctified
Church of Chincoteague Island, No. Ia
They emigrated to the island from Sussex
county. Delaware, and'they have church
of their own in their settlement worth
$4,000. Their houses are all built on the
same plan, two stories high, two rooms in a
house. and all of them are dedicated before
being occupied as dwellings. These dedica-
tory exercises are said to be very noisy and
demonstrative, accompanied by much
shouting and religious excitement The
devotional exercises in their church are
said TO partake strongly of the same nature.
so much so that members have been arrested
several times by the officials of the Metho-
dist Church, which is near, and from which
they withdraw, as disturbers of religious
worship. The islanders express much in
dignation concerning the manner in which
the community is conducted

SUBS cRIBE THE NEW STOCK TO
THE SHIRT FACTORY.
AND MAINTAIN AN INDUSTRY
Or Let Some Other Town Step In and
Secure That for Which so Many
of Our Citizens Should Be Thank
ful-The Employees Should Shoulder
Some Stock. and Show Spirit of
Enterprise and Appreciation.

At recent meeting of the Board OF
Trade and the Middletown improvement
Company, it was decided TO raise sufficient
means to erect the addition to the shirt fac
tory asked for by Young, Smy h, Field &;
Co. To this end committee, consisting
of five of the active members of the
company, was appointed to solicit subscrip
tions>
This addition will cost about $500, and it
is to be hoped that the committee will meet
with ready response. To the employees of
the shirt factory this is very important
question, for should not a sufficient amount
of stock be subscribed to erect the annex,
here, there are plenty of towns that are
holding goutinducements to get Midcletown's
only industry. The employees should con-
tribute to this new stock, and in order that
they can do SO without scarcely knowing it,
they will be allowed to pay for their shares
in instalments of so cents per week or one
dollar on each pay day. By this means,
and at very little out ay they become stock
holders in the factory which gives them
and secures the permahency
of an industry that adds so much to Mid
dletown's and their own interest.
Don't be back ward but subscribe literally
and soon we'll see additional room, addi-
tional help and rdditional wages in the
Shirt Factory.

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN DELLA
WARE CITY CAUSES A
coMMoTIoN.
STRYCHNINE IN THE POWDER
Coroner Kirk Makes an Investiga-
tion, But Cannot Decide How
Poison Got Into the seidlitz Pow
der-A Mystery That May Rival
That of Year Ago.

The mystery surrounding the sudden
death of Mrs. Mary A. Dutton at Delaware
City on Sunday only deepened with the
coroner's Investigation, and the people are
wondering whether she was poisoned by
an enemy or took the drug by mistake.
Coroner Kirk held an inquest on the body.
For a jury he had number of the repre-
sentative citizens. The jury examined DR..
Dunlap, who was called in when Mrs.
Dutton was dying, and the two druggists of
Delaware City, from whom the dead woman
was in the habit of buying her drugs.
The coroner ON Monday took portion
of the substance that Mrs. Dutton had
taken on returning from church and had it
analysed by Frank Koop Smith, of Will
mington, who said that the substance that
Mrs. Dntton had taken had all the in
gradients of seidlitz powder and also a large
quanty of strychnine, which was sufficient
to kill person.
DIR. Dunlap was the first witness to ties.
tify. He said that he was called on to at
tend Mrs. Dutton on Sunday afternoon.
When he arrived at the house he found
Mrs. Dutton in convulsions, and she re-
manned in this condition until she died.
Mrs. buttons son. who lives in Philadel-
phia, testified that his mother often took
seidlitz powders. She sometimes bought
them in Delaware City and sometimes in
Philadelphia. She had not bought any in
the latter place during the past six months,
as she had not been to the city during that
time. The son also said that his father
bought some strychf1ine last August to kill
rats with, but did not use it all. What he
had not employed in killing the rats he had
thrown into the fire.
The two druggists testified that Mrs. Dut-
ton had not bought any seidlitz powders
from them this year,
Coroner Kirk made statement as to
what he had learned during his investiga-
ton of the case. He said that seidlitz pow
ders were always put up in two packages.
One was white and the other light blue.
1t is custom among all druggists to use the
same color paper in preparing the powders.
He also stated that he found very dark
blue paper that looked as if it had at
one time contained some drug. This was
much darker than the kind used in pre-
pairing seidlitz powders.
After the coroner had finished, the jury,
after some ,deliberation, rendered verdict
stating that Mrs. Dutton had come to her
death from strychnine poison taken with a
seidliiz powder, but the cause of the poison
being in the powder was unknown to the
jury.
Mrs. Dutton's death is the talk among the
people of this town, and many are inclined
to think they have mystery in their midst
that will rival that of Noah Benson's whose
headless body was found floating in the
canal over year ago.
The remains were inferred in st. PauIs
Cemetery, Delaware City. ON Wednesday,
Father Daley officiating.

Handsome Specimens by a Delaware
Lady for the Worlds Fair.
PHILADELPHIA. April 1S.-Knowing thai
the ladies of Middletown are interesed in
pretty things, and specially in pretty things
going to the Worlds Fair" want to tell
them about centre-piece / saw at the
"Woman Exchange the other day before
they had expressed their display to the
Chicago Exhibition.
Miss Marion Cochran, of "Hedge Lawn"
was responsible for this piece of prettiness,
it was of fine white linen with hemmed-
stitched border, with a conventional de-
sign of cones worked solidly in white flo
floss. The design was raised and was most
effective.
The piece was received just as the goods
for the Worlds Fair were being packed
and was included without the consignees
permission, which we trust would have
been given if there had been time to write
and ask for it.
1t is hoped this exhibition will broaden
the already wide reputation of the Woman's
Exchange, for it is in this way the con-
signees are benefited
Duplicate orders are to be taken from the
work exhibited at the fair though no piece
there displayed can be sold.
We have never been able to compete with
Delaware peaches and We are beginning to
find out that blue Hens" chickens
can equalif not excel us in needle-work.
Very truly yours,

A CHURCH WAR.
The Episcopal Church of Dover Furn-

The Episcopal Church of Dover Furn-
ishing a Little Amusement.
There is an interesting war in Christ
Church, Dover, which threatens to deplete
the congregation very largely The trouble
arose last fall, when dance was given at
the Richardson House. Mrs. Richardson
converted the brilliant room into cafe and
enlisted the services of the women of the
church to assist in running it, The receipts
of this department. were for the benefit of
the church. Merry dancers patronized the
cafe and neat sum was realized. When
the money was offered it was rejected by
the rector, but the church officials agreed to
accept Mrs. Richardson's profered aid.
