Atlantic City. n. J.. July 5.-The mystery
concerning the poisoned chocolates received by
Mrs. John L. Andrews. wife of the Assistant
City Controller. has become more puzzIing than
ever. and it is likely that the police may take
some action in the case. To-day II became
known that the alleged poisoned candy had
been lost. The disappearance OF the choco-
lates is a disappointment TO Mrs Andrews and
others. but no one seems 10 know what became
OF them
1t was at the suggestion of her physician. DR..
Walter Reynolds. that Mrs. Andrews ordered
the chocolates to be taken to local chemist
Dr. w. G. Wescott was selected by Mrs. An
drews TO analyze the candy. To-day she said
that she had not heard from DIR. Wescott In
quiry at his place Of business elected the reply!
The candy is not here and we don't know
anything about it, On the analysis of the candy
depends the evidence as TO whether it was sent
70 Mrs. Andrews by an enemy with criminal
intent She that an attempt had been
made to take her life. and did not hesitate to
say so.
An effort was made TO learn who carried the
candy from Mrs. Andrews when she gave In
structions to have il sent to DR.. Wescott but
no information on this subject could be OBJ
tanned The local telegraph people say that no
messenger boy in their employ was the bearer
of the candy from Mrs. Andrews 70 Or. Wescott.
Mrs Andrews declined 10 see a reporter Dr..
Reynolds made the following statement to-
night:
Il saw Mrs Andrews to-day and found her
much improved i asked her if she had heard
from DR. WesCott, TO whom she sent the choco-
lates she believed were poisoned and she told
that she had Vet received no report from
him. She stated thar DR. Wescott would not be
able 10 make any statement as 10 Jhe result of
his investigation for day or two. and this
leads me 10 believe that Mrs. Andrews was
under the impression that he had received the
candy. I know she sent il there for she told
me so. and ! am surprised 10 learn that they
know nothing about II at DIT. Wescott's Office
Mr.. Andrews arrived in this city to-day and
went at once 10 the Hotel Windsor. to see his
wife. He declined 10 discuss the case. and
displeased that the story had received so much
publicity. I have nothing 70 say about this
matter, he said. He remained most of the
day AT the Hotel Windsor

We have received communication,
mot for publication, urging US to indi-
cate through these columns who of the
published list of candidates for the
Legislature would make. in our opin-
ion, good Representatives This We
cannot do. it would not be fair to the
candidates nor would it be fair to the
people, and it would only give those we
did not mention grounds to charge US
with attempting to dictate. We as
sumo every man offering himself Tor
the Legislature is known and the peo-
pie are in as good position to Judge ms
merits or qualifications rs we are we
will, however. say that as there are no
open issues, it would be well to ascer-
tain from the candidates whether or
not, if elected. they favor making any
changes in the dispensary law. we 40
not think man should be elected TO
the Legislature if he favors any
changes, unless he makes known to his
constituents the changes he fa7ors. In
a number of counties the Brice bill, as
originally introduced, is an issue. This
measure, as we understand it, means to
permit towns where dispensaries are
established to vote them out, whereas
under the lew as enacted, dispensaries
cannot be voted out by the towns. but
the vote must be submitted to the quail
ifed voters of the comfy. If we send
to the Legislature man who does not
give public expression on this matter
we may elect a man upon his personal
who will work and vote di-
rectly against the wishes of his constit.
uents. It is therefore well to have an
expression from the candidates on this
important question. y man who is
Prohibitionist from principle, or who
has heretofore claimed such must when
he goes to the Legislature. to be con-
sistent. work to break up the dlspen-
sary root and branch, and if the voters
favor such a movement they should
vote for such an one, but If on the otner
hand, they believe we are getting the
liouor traffic under satisfactory con-
troll no such man should be elected, be-
cause he would misrepresent the peo-
pie who have honored him. There IS
no compromise of the liquor question
with a sincere Prohibitionlst, and when
a man goes before the people who has
heretofore posed as Prohibltionlst,
and now to be sent to the Legislature
proposes compromising, or even pro-
poses to accept the question as a set
tied policy, we say he will not do, and
neither the Prohibitionists or the dis
pensaryites need have faith IN him.
So far as we are concerned, we have
no favorites: when the primary comes
on we will make our selection OF those
who have announced themselves, but
to indicate to the public our choice, or
those we do not favor, without a public
expression from the candidates them
selves is not in accord with our ]udg-
ment.

A Rare Musical Treat.

Sometime ago several OF the public
spirited citizens of Manning began
negotiations for the purpose Of obtain
| ING a concert from the Royal Hungarian
Court Orchestra which will shortly
visit the Unitnd States for the first
time.
This Orchestra is the one attached to
the Royal Court of Hungary and fur
nishes the music for it on ali State oc-
casions. This Orchestra has played
before most of the crowned heads OF
Europe, and it is one of the "crack;
musical organizations of the world.
They will spend but short time in
this country, as they are simply taking
a vacation and giving few concerts IN
different portions of the United States
to pay their expenses.
The price which they have agreed 70
come is a very large one and the
hackers of the enterprise are simply
hoping that the attendance will be
large enough to make their loss small
one. We have been assured that the
engagement of this attraction, or one
of it's high class is something unheard
of in town OF this size. This aggre-
cation of musical artists are expected
here September 2lst, and every lover
of music should feel fortunate to secure
a ticket.

The Picnic at Beulah Attended by Thousands.

Timmonsville, S. c., July 24.-Ies-
terday quite large crowd attended the
annual Confederate Veterans picnic
held at Beulah, which is just htteen
miles from the nearest railroad. Beu-
Ian IS thriving little settlement and
there are about five nice frame stores.
All seem to be doing quite an interest
ing business. One thing that espe-
cially attracted attention was that
nearly all the girls and boys are at
tending some one or other OF the State
schools. The welcome which each and
every one was extended could hardly
have been excelled, for it seemed to be
quite pleasure for those good people
to entertain.
The grounds where the crowd was
entertained We're just across small
stream and they have been all cleaned
off. a new artesian well sunk and plen-
tv of benches placed around. At J.
o'clock the old soldiers were lined up
and marched to stand by Captain
Truluck and an address of welcome was
delivered by Mr.. Kennedy. Mr.: u. d.
Traxler spoke next, then Mr.. w. II:
Wells, after which Mr.. Ellis Smith, OF
Luxembourg, took the stand and gave
an interesting talk on national as well
as State issues.
After the speeches dinner was an;
nounced ana the multitudes were well
fed. There were over 1000 people at
the picnic, some estimates being as
high as ,: 500 to 5000. Tables could
not begin to hold out, so numbers
spread their table cloths out on the
ground. A grander bill OF fare could
not a have been asked for. All sorts and
kinds of food was served. Never be
fore in the history of this country has
there ever been such a large gathering;
There were heavy rains the day and
night before and in the morning there
were heavy clouds which foated IN the
heavens all day. There was no olsor'
