WAR ON EMsALMEp PICKLES.
II. W. Wiley Starts Crusade Against
the Use of Alum.

Washington, Aug. 13-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief chemist of the agri-
cultural department and guardian OF
the pure food laws, has started a cru
sade against embalmed cucumbers and
gherkins innoculated with alum. He
asserts that withered and half-spoiled
cucumbers receive generous hypoder-
mics of alum, and under its magic in
fluence the once soft, soggy and gem
orally disreputable pickle of commerce
is pumped out. rejuvenated and be-
comes so pleasing to the eye that few
persons can resist its alluring attract
iveness.
Although the board of food and drug
inspection has had the question of the
use of alum as a preservative under
cision has yet been given
Meanwhile, DR.. Wiley is working as
siduously against the embalmed pickle
and the alleged INSCRIPTIONS under
takers. Alum, he says, is one of the
lesser known personalities, its use ne.
ing more circumscribed than that Of
benzote of soda, borax, formaldehyde
and other chemicals on which manu-
facturers wax fat while the consumers
grow lean.
When benzOte of soda is to the de.
beef, alum is to the limp and lifeless
cucumber" says DR.. Wiley The pub
lie does not appreciate the woes AMI
misery concealed beneath the verdant
jacket of the innocent looking pickle

AiGRETTE SALE PUT OFF.
Government to Hold Struggled Goods
Until Fall, When Market Is Better.

Washington, Aug. H-Because of the
time required to make a thorough inVes-
tigation of protests filed with the Secre-
tray of the Treasury against the propos I'd
sale at public auction of aigrettes seized
from smugglers in New York it has been
decided not to conduct the sale until late
in the fall. 1t is believed that by that
time the market will be better.
The seizure was made by Collector
Loeb, and he proposed to advertise the
millinery plumage for sale in the same
maner as other Struggled goods are sold.
The Audubon Society protested that such
a sale would be against the laws of the
State of New York. which in effect are
recognized by regulations of the customs
service. Collector Loeb could see no rea-
son why the aigrettes could not be sold
under his orders just as we'll as in the
shops of Fifth avenue miliners.
Secretary MacVeagh has had the mat
ter under advisement several weeks He
left town yesterday without resembling
his order to Mr. Loeb to sell the struggled
goods. 1t may be that the struggled
goods will be sent to some other Ameri-
can port for sale in order that there
sha be no Offenser against the New York
laws.
