The National.

1.-THE Gentleman from Mississippi" the
play by Harrison Rhodes and Thomas A.
Wise, in which the latter is to star under
the management of William A. Brady,
will be produced Monday, September IA.
at the National Theater. The manage
ment of the venture describes the play
as IAN effort to show up graft in federal
politics along the lines followed by the
author of The Man Of the Hour in re-
spect to graft in municipal politics. The
protagonist of the play is United States
senator elected by direct vote of the peo-
pie of his commonwealth. He is, for
the purposes of the story, placed in both
political and sentimental rivalry with a
senate leader who Is the avowed watch
dog of the corporations interests. Men
of national prominence, thinly yelled,
figure as characters in the play, the scene
of which is Washington.
Mr.. Brady expresses the belief that the
virtual declaration OF both presidential
nominees that they believe in the direct
election Of United States senators by the
people makes the play topical to the
minute "Of course" he says, there
must, first Of all, be the quality called
human interest If the play is to succeed
at all; but. granted that it prove a good
play as popular plays go, the theme ought
to be of uncommon general interest at
this time.

POISONED PIE
PROBE UNDER
WAY IN ATCO
Remnants of Fatal Feast at
Church Picnic Will Solve
Strange Case.
Especial 10 the Evening start

ATCO, July THE solution of the
poisoning which affected seventy per-
sons who ate potpie at the M. e.
Church picnic, and which caused the
death of ~10-year-old Edwin Hall, now
awaits an analysis of the remnants OF
the pie, which Coroner Cook is having
made. The likeliest theory is that
ptomaines were responsible, though
some people see evidence of a joke not
meant TO terminate as it did.
The theory that the potpie was tam
pered with is not very tenable, for the
reason that he pie was made under
the supervision of the church picnic
committee, and by Mrs. Hoffman,, a
jealous churchwoman, at the home of
Mrs. William Murray, and on the
grounds was ladled out of the big iron
boilers in which it was made. No
canned ingredients were used, and
most of the twenty-one chickens put
in 1t were taken from a common lot
running at large.

ly upon the opening of the registry

Notwithstanding this, the prince and
Madame Gould made a determined eff
fort to escape the crowd. They had a
large motor car waiting at the main
entrance of the hotel all morning.
When the hour for them to leave ar
rived, however, the couple, accompa-
MED by three friends, left the hotel by
a rear entrance and, entering ordinary
cabs, drove to the back entrance of the
registry office.
Again Take Back Door.
Outside of Prince Hello, Madame
Gould, the witnesses and the officials,
no one was present. A great crowd,
consisting largely of porters from the
Covent Garden market, street vendors
and employees of the publishing houses
in the vicinity, assembled in the street
outside. Prince Helie produced a copy
of the notice filed with the registrar es-
tablishing his two weeks residence in
the district, and the registrar granted
his license. Madame Gould and the
prince signed the register, describing
themselves as had been lone in the
banns published In Paris. Armed with
the registrars certificate the party,
again leaving the building by the back
door, drove in cabs to the French
Protestant Church, hidden away in a
corner of Soho square The cabmen
misunderstood their Instructions and
topped In front of st Patrick's Roman
Catholic Church., which also faces Soho
Square, and the entire party had
alighted before the mistake was dis
covered. New directions were then
given and the cabs drove over to the
French Protestant Church. The en-
trance to this church was blocked by
trucks, and Madame Gould and the
prince had to make their way through
a maze of traffic.
Photos Snapped in Church.
The party passed into the chdrch al
most u~nnoticed. They were followed
by only a half dozen reporters and a
few poorly dressed parishioners. They
were escorted to the vestry and the
pastor, the Rev. l.. Degremont. He
escorted the couple to the altar, while
Madame Ranette, a daughter of the as
sistant pastor of the church, played a
hymn.
While it was proceeding several pho

party, took snapshots of the couple as
they stood at the altar.
The bride turned n~ervously to the
small congregation when the quietness
