ohamicals in the Sausage.

An analysis OF forty-nine samples OF
sausage, hamburg steak, weiner~urst,
bologna, ham Loaf, veal loaf, tripe and
pigs foot jelly bought in the Indian
apolis, Ind, market by H. Z. Barnard,
chemist of the State Board of Health.
revealed that only sixteen of the sam
pies come up to the legal requirements.
The other lhirty.three contained chemi-
calls prohibited by Law. The purchases
we're made from meat stock found on the
market stand. One sample of hamburg
steak and one Of bulk sausage contained
bors1. The most frequently used pre-
as discovered in the samples,
was sodium sulphite, used to give a fresh
red color to meat. To Mr.. Barnard
several dealers admitted using preserva-
tives on their meats. Mr.. Barnard had
made previous trips of similar kind
and dealers had promised him to stop
using preservatives. The last tour was
made in order TO learn if his instructions
had been followed.

Danger in Telephones.

A warning was issued Thursday by
B. F. Gobrich, Chicago baeteriologist,
in regard to the danger from bacilli in
the mouthpieces of telephones, particu-
larry in public places Influenza, Pneu'
monia, diphtheria and tuberculosis,
according to Mr.. Gobrich, Turk in the
instruments. Tests we're made by him
on coatings from the mouth pieces of IS
different telephones and large number
of species of bacteria were found.
One telephone contained contained many
tuberculosis germs. Mr.. Gobrich urges
that the Health Department compel the
companies to equip their in-
struments with antiseptic devices, which
would destroy all germs as they enter
the transmitter.

Took stitches in His Heart.

Three stitches were put in the heart
of Anthony Savage, % years old, by
DR.. Blaisdell, surgeon in charge at the
Eastern District Hospital, Brooklyn,
yesterday. The operation, which physi-
clans believe will save the life of Saw
age, took / hour and Is minutes, and
during the whole of that time the left
lung and heart we're exposed to the view
of the physicians, who watched the deli
cate organs perform their functions.
Savage was stabbed 10 times during a
fight a week ago. Yesterday he col
lspsed, and DR.. Blsisdell decided he was
suffering from internal hemorrages. de
decided an operation was the only thing
that would be of any use. He found
the pleural cavity filled with blood aud
the auriele punctured. The blood was
drained and the wound in the auriele
sewed up. Savage rallied after the
operation, and it is believed that he will
recover.

MAD DOGS AGAIN
Death of Southbury Boy Sets People
 Thinking Once More.

The dog question is getting serious and it is likely that the authorities will soon commence a vigorous war fare against those who are ignoring the order regarding muzzles. During the past few days several dogs have bitten children. and while the animals may not have been rabid, it sets peo. pie thinking and us a result the pub lie feel that every possible safeguard should be thrown around human be. iiigs while this mad dog scare is on. The death of q boy so near home as Southbury, where Harold Ralston, the eleven year old son of Samuel Ralston, died yesterday afternoon of hydropho- bia, resulting from the bite or scratch of mad dog about six weeks ago, ,s sufficient to put all on the lookout and prompt them to be ready to defend themselves as soon as they See dog coming for them. Less than half the dogs about town are muzzled and tho headgears on the other half are sim. ply excuses for muzzles.
 Prosecutor Meigs started on a cru sade against unlicensed and unnIuz. zled dogs to-day. Complaints have been so numerous of late about dogs of this kind. notwithstanding the may. or's edict issued a few weeks ago, that it would seem no attention has been paid to 1t i'll some parts of the town. It is obvious to all that the number of dogs running about the streets barking at people and teams is daily increasing and that Superintend- ent Beach needs to remind his men of the order given them month ago, for the police have become lax in car. rying it out. A number of warrants were issued this forenoon for the ar rest of persons keeping unlicensed and unmuzzled dogs. Some people seem to think that because their dogs keep about their premises they are ex- empt from the muzzle law. They are mistaken in this, as they are likely to find out any day.

FIRE LAST NIGHT
Said by Chief Snasg to B. Work|'
 of lncendiary.

The meat market of E. H. Plumb in the Colley block, S51 West Main street, was the scene of a fire last night that threatened to reduce rhe block to ashes. but which fortunately was discovered and extingulshed be- fore it did much damage, probably not over $50 worth. Patrick Flynn, trolley conductor, who lives in the block. noticed the smoke and suspect ed that there was something wrong. An alarm was sent in and soon the firemen were on the ground and quenched the blaze. which had just worked it's way from the cellar into MT Plumbs market. Upon investiga- tion evidence was discovered which showed that the fire was of incenGiar,t origin. The stout hasp that held down the cellar door, and which was secur- ed by a lock, had been broken and be- tween screen door and the chimney several pieces of old rags, all satur- ated with kerosene oil. were located. There is no doubt in the mind of the chief engineer that an effort was made to fire the building. but there is no clue which would enable the autli0rl- ties to bring the guilty party into court This is the second effort made to burn that block within short time. Tlsere are three stores and several teliements in the building so that if the fire had got better start it would have done considerable damage.
