P1TTSBCRG, Pa, October 6.-Yesterday
was another day of triumph for the path
finder of the arctic.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook was received in
Pittsburg with open arms From the time
he stepped from Pullman car in Union
station. where he was greeted by 1000
enthusiastic admirers. until the conclu-
sion OF his lecture in Duquesne Garden
last night he heard nothing but words
Of confidence, cheer and handclaps.
When the explorer stepped upon the
stage of the vast auditorium after being
introduced by DR.. John A Brashear, a
well known scientist, he faced an audi
ence OF more than three thousand per-

words there was a wild stampede made
by those in the rear seats

DR.. Cook was escorted through the
cheering multitude to an automobile in

NEW YORK. October 6.-Matt Henson.
Commander Peary's faithful negro fol-

Capt. Bartlett There.

Capt. Bartlett There.
First to arrive was Capt Robert Bart.
lett. the master Of the Roosevelt and
close behind him, with group OF the
companions of the voyage: was the re-
doubtable Henson. Henson comes orig
inally from the Danish West Indies, which
accounts for his name. and he was IN
Washington when he entered the service
of Peary.
His face is intensely black, his features
even and regular. His manners are good
and he speaks excellent English.
On account OF his intelligence and 10y
atty he has always been high in the re-
gard of Commander Peary. He and the
Eskimos stood with the arctic explorer
when the final observations were made
which showed that the pole had been at
tanned.
This was an honor which, owing to tho
way the party was arranged for the final
dash, was responsible for the statement
that the commander himself was the
only white man who stood at the goal
which the ages had coveted
No One Wore Evening Dress
The dinner was entirely informal and
none Of the party wore evening dress.

There were present members Of the
American Museum Of Natural History
and of the New York Academy of Sci
ences, but not in any Official capacity
but merely as old friends and acquaint-
ances of the men who had come from
Ultima Thule.
All the party were asked to tell of their
experiences. and the story OF Henson was
one of the most interesting OF all the mar
ratives. Mr.. Borup related some of his eX-
periences in hunting.
The officers and the crew Of the Roose-
Welt are In receipt OF medals from the
Hudson Fulton celebration COMMITTEES.
and that of Capt. Bartlett, OF which ho
told the other guests, is OF gold.
Another Feast for Henson.
Among the scientists and explorers pres
ent was Prof. Edmund Otis Hovey, whose
Investigations of Mont Pelee are well
known.
Henson said last night that he had re-
ceived an invitation from a committee OF
members OF his race to attend a dinner in
his honor, but that he had asked them
not to set the date until they heard from
him next week
Charles W. Anderson a collector of In
ternaI revenue. who Is at the head OF the

Mr.. Henson is conscientious man and
does mot wish in any way to figure in
any celebration which may be given In

might have.
Mr.. Anderson said he had understood
that Henson had written to Commander
Peary on this subject and had explained
that those OF his race desired to give him

bORAX TRUST WILL

Washington, ID. c., June II.
Whats the matter with borax?'
This is a question which viii, it is ex-
pected, before long occupy the atten-
ton of the scientific world of Wash
ington, ana one in which the Borax
Trust is deeply interested. In the
warfare which is in progress between
the preventative ana anti-preseryative
forces the ruling that benZoate OF So
da may be used by food manufacture
ers in unlimited quantities is regarded
rs merely the carrying of one Of the
| %outposts by the enemies of Dr. II. w,
Wiley, who, when he had the power,
ruled against all chemical preserva-
ives. Next in order are determine
ions by the HANSEN board of con-
sulting experts IN the wholesomeness
If sulphur. s%accharine and copper.
But the great fight will be waged
around borax, the first preservatiye to
be condemned and the one which has
the most powerful backing. If the
8oraX Trust Is successful and finally
secures a reversal Of the decision
against it the monetary reward VIII
be great and to that end the public
mind is gradually being prepared to
'eceive a decision favorable to borax.
As far as Wiley is concerned the sit
Iation is this; he made five principal
rulings, one on whiskey, and the re-
naming four against b%enzoate, sui
phuring, borax and fo~rmaldehyde. He
has been reversed on benzoate; his
i~ccision on whiskey is up before the
president for fnal determination; his
ruling on s%ulphuring is under investi-
pufinp nv 4ha RanGan hna ri he casa
against borax is likely to be re-opened
and he stands firm on formaldehyde
alone. II is a part Of the campaign
70 educate the people up to standing
FOR the use of borax that the Borax
Trust is doing all it can to defend
benzoate OF soda, and the recent rul-
ing of the food commission thereon.
Communications have been received
here from an organization which
describes itself as the National as
sociation for the promotion of health"
which is devoted to a defense OF the
use of benzoate Of soda. Nothing Is
Known here in medical or scientific
circles regarding this so-called "asso-
ciation'' nor do the names OF the Of
ficers or members appear on the COM
munications. 1t is generally under-
stood, however, that the psueda -scien-
tific reaties with which the scientists
and the press are favored, apparently
emanating from the association
with the high-sounding name. are tho
productions of r.. l. Harris OF II. II
Langdon. an agent Of the borax trust.
and that the membership OF the So
called association is confined to Mes
srs. Harris and Longdon. who appear
to be one and the same man. This
being the case but very little atten-
ton is paid here to the labored de
Tense Of chemical personalities com
ing from this source, as they are re-
garded as merely paving the way for
a %hoped-for reversal Of DR.. Wiley's
decision against borax.
