ANALYZING THE BRANDY.
No Further Developments in the
Sandy Poisoning Case.


Joseph Jonas of Sandy. the man who
is accused of having administered poi
son to Charles Larson in q drink of
blackberry brandy last Wednesday
night, with intent 20 kill, was unable
to obtain bail yesterday and he still
languishes in the county jail. The flask
alleged to contain some of the deadly
drink, which was taken from Jonas,
was yesterday submitted to Chemist
Harms for analysis of the contents,
and II may be necessary to defer the
preliminary hearing of the defendant
from Monday, for the reason that the
analysis may not be completed by that
time. While the prosecuting officers
are going on the theory that the poison
taken by Larson was strychnine, the
suggestion has been made by County
Physician Mayo that probably the
drink was charged with knockout
drops otherwise known as choral hy-
drate. but fully as fatal in operation
as strychnine. Attorney James NJ.
Hamilton has been retained by Jonas
to defend him.

The Circular Nuisance.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
A short time since saw in The Star the
statement that two colored boys were ar
rested 'in Anacostia' for distributing cir
culars. Why is not the law enforced here
in the city? There Is not a day in which
our steps, porches, areas and vestibules
are not Uttered with a lot OF advertising
circulars. I gathered up no less than a
dozen of them at my house and half as
many more in the hallway of my office
yesterday, and this morning I found two
colored boys, each with sack containing
at least thousand-about as many as they
could lug-whfch they were throwing onto
the porches or steps of every house they
passed, while the wind was scattering
streets to frighten horses. These circulars
were sent out to advertise medicines made
by parties In Rochester. n. Y. The prac-
tice Is not confined TO advertising the busi-
ness of our own citizens, for among those
on my porch / find one of concern In
Pennsylvania, another of a concern In Buff
falo, N. Y, and still another Of concern
in Indiana.
1t is enough to have to endure the nui-
sance OF the falling leaves blown every
where by the autumn winds, but that is
matter that cannot be prevented and Is but
for short time, while this circular nui-
intolerable nuisance and one that ought to
be and can be prevented. II the Commits
sioners would but instruct the chief Of DO
lice to have his force arrest every one dis
tributinE. or even carrying the circulars Tor
distribution about the streets. It would
soon be stopped
The real culprits are the parties VINO

employ boys and men to distribute them,
and they should be made to pay the full
penalty. IT the law or regulations are not
sufficient for the purpose then they should
be amended. and as the Commissioners
have ample authority under the law au-
thoriZing them to make and enforce police
regulations, there is no excuse for their
not doing 1t. No one pays any attention
to advertisements thus distributed, and
hence they benefit no one, while being
constant annoyance to householder.
There are other and more legitimate
means by which those parties can adver-
tise, and there is no excuse whatever for
their thus annoying the public. II the ne
glect to enforce the law in this matter is
a specimen OF "the best government in the
world" as We are constantly told ours is,
then would prefer one in which the citi-
zens would have the power to protect them
selves from this and similar nuisances.
