noux, until the latter married few
weeks ago.
The bride visited the Zoo often, and
the gorilla was very sensitive about
the attention she showed him.
When he perceived that she undOubt-
edly preferred his keeper Francisco
became more and more jalous, and
finally Journoux found it impossible
TO approach the gorilla, especially if
Nine. JOurnOuX was in sight.
Two days ago Francisco was so surly
and quiet that the keeper thought he
was sick and entered the cage to com
fort his former pet.
The gorilla Immediately sprang upon
his hated rival. JournOuX held a short
tanners fork, which alone accounts for
the fight lasting so long.
1t being dinner time, all the other
keepers had withdrawn TO a distant
shanty, Only three children witnessed
the terrible fight, and they were so
terrified they failed to fetch help un-
til JournouX had succeeded in escaping
from the cage.
The gorilla followed before the door
could be shut, and the duel continued
outside from one end of the building
to the other, as is shown by the blood
/ stains.
Finally the children ran away yell
ing
BY the time help arrived the gorilla
had been killed.
The keeper was found with one eve
torn out, rapidly losing blood from
many wounds and laboriously trying
to crawl away on all fours One hand
had been completely chewed off and
the lower lip and part of the chin had
also been bitten.

mission, rather than in the navy de-
partment, but he preferred to stay
az home.
The biographical notice of the new
secretary, contained in the Congress
sional Record, is very meager, show
ing his political career in its barest
outlines. But it appears that he is a
man of affairs, and it is particularly
gratifying for people interested in
the navy to know that he brings to
his new post a mind of experience in
governmental affairs, acquired
through his work for several years
on the appropriations committee of
the house. Mr.. Moody is a compara-
lively young man, being in his forty
ninth year. He is a lawyer by pro-
fession, being a graduate of Phillips
academy, Andoyer, Mass, and Har-
ward university. He has been district
attorney for the eastern district Of
Massachusetts and has served in the
Fifty-fourth, Fifty-ffth, Fifty-sixth
and Fifty-seventh congresses, being
elected as a republican. He was born
in Newbury, Conn, but now resides
at Haverhill, Mass.
Mr.. Moody is on the District of CO.
lumbia committee of the house ap-
preparations committee, and is in
that capacity well known and liked
in Washington.
a statement has been published in
effect that Representative Moody,
nominated to be secretary Of the
navy, is a relative of Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts. The fact is that
Representative Moody is not in the
remotest way connected with Senator
Lodge by either marriage or blood.
The two have been friends for very
many years. both being graduates of
Harvard university, where they were
well acquainted as students.
