benzoate of soda and chemical pre- servatives in general. sent out under the auspices of the National Asso- citation for the Promotion of Public Health
 This so-called Association" takes no steps to identify itself. and in Washington medical, scientific and sanitary circles is absolutely unknown. As far as can be learned none of the many eminent scientists connected with the government have ever been invited to join it: none of them know who belongs to it or what it's objects are. This is probably due to the fact that the association has taken no steps to make it's membership public and it's communications are to that extent in this connection and that is that of H. l.. Harris, or H. h. Langdon. who appears to be one and the same, and the fact that Mir. Harris, or Mir. Lang don, is an employe of the boraX trust has caused the general belief in gov ernment scientific circles that the so called Association for the Promotion of Public Health" exists merely in his imagination and that he comprises its entire membership. In consequence no attention is paid to his communica- tions.
 At the Cosmos club. of Washington. which is the greatest club of scien- lists in the country. and of which Dr. Wiley is a distinguished member, it is not considered chubby" to discuss the different results reached by Dr Wiley and the Remsen board on ben zoate of soda, but the circulation of fake scientific treatises and communi- cations from fake associations is gen orally condemned. It is pointed out that the medical men who oppose chemical preservatives come out boldly and do so over their own signatures, while the defenders remain anonymous, and that where the manufacturers who do not use benZoate of soda are ad vertising the fact in every possible manner, those who still cling to it never mention the fact publicly and use the smallest and most inconspicu- ous label possible under the law. While pr. Wiley has been reversed on benzoate of soda and may be on sul- phur and even boraX, the opinion at the Cosmos club. among his fellow scientists, is that he has still the best of the argument

.BORAy TRUSTS ATTACK
 ON CHIEF CHEMIST WILEY
In His Absence Effort Being Made to Overthrow His Ruling on Pure Food Act.

Washington. D. C., June 11.-(Spe- cial correspondence of The RepubH- can.)-EvidenCeS continue to multiply that the campaign against Dr. H. w Wiley, chemist of the department of agriculture, and his decisions under the food and drugs act, will be prose cuted with increased vigor during Dr. Wiley's absence abroad. The war be- tween the friends of chemical preserv- atives and the health authorities goes merrily on, notwithstanding the Rem sen boards report and the decision of the national food commission on ben zoate of soda. The Remsen boards report fell flat here because the ques- 1 tiOns referred to it were of minor inn portance, relating merely to the effect of small doses of benzoate of soda ad- ministered to healthy young men and not touching on the broader and more important questions, as far as the pub lie is concerned, of whether the pre- servative is used to render eatable foods which otherwise would be con demned. It is generally recognized that although millions are involved in the benZoate of soda controversy, the bulk of the money is behind other pre- servatives, especially borax, which is controlled by the borax trust. Wiley's decision under the food and drugs act, as far as they related to preserva- tives. affected benzoate of soda, sul- phur. boraX and formaldehyde. He has been reversed on the first, is under investigation on the second. bOrax is to follow and formaldehyde is the only one which seems to have no friends. When the friends of conservatives are through with Dr. Wiley the situation promises to be the same as it was prior to the passage of the food and drugs act.
 To pave the way for the ultimate setting aside of the act as far as pre- servatives are concerned, the public mind is being prepared to receive a decision on boraX permitting its use by a series of what are ostensibly scientific treatises on the subject of

OFFICIAL DOG CATCHER
 TENDERS RESIGNATION
Several Reasons For His Retirement to Private Life.

There is an interregnum in the off, flee of official dog catcher after an administration of one day. The col ored functiOnary who rejoices in the name of Mir. WincesZlaowski. or some thing like that, announced his resigna- tiOn yesterday morning. He had more trouble the day before than he thought fell to the lot of the dog catcher. It was also an office that very little hon or attaches to, as he discovered, for he had never held an office before.
 Then the last straw on the camel's back was the illness of his horse When he entered upon his duties he made a requisition on the supply department of the city for horse feed. Through the error of some one there was de- liVered to him a bag of bran instead of a bag of barley. When he came down town yesterday morning with his mind half made up to quit the busi- ness he found his horse was suffering from an intestinal disorder. and that settled it.
 He then submitted his resignation. and as becomes one about to retire voluntarily from office. his reasons therefor. He explained that he had lived in Phoenix for some time sup porting himself by days work His clientele was scattered all over the city and he had flattered himself that he stood pretty well with it. If some body wanted a carpet beaten or win dows cleaned or a garden moved. a cali was put in for Mir. Winceszlaow- ski. He had already made trail of enemies in one day of service and he figured that in three months every householder in town would be his per sonal enemy.
 The dog-catching season. he figured. was brief. while the chore season lasts all the year.

\ FEUD ON THE BUCKEYE
 RENEWED IN PHOENIX

Otis Fleming has broken out again. He may have broken out before but now. for the first time since he riddled Ben Marshall with shot in an affray at Buckeye last winter, he has not come within the purview of the au- thorities until now.
 Complaint was made against him by two of the neighbors by the name of Dixon, father and son, who said that he had been making sanguinary threats against them. He was found at a corral and his condition indi- cated that he had ground for i'll feel ing against somebody. one arm was swollen to twice it's natural size and there were decorations all over one side of his face and his head. His wounds were healing. He said they had been inflicted a couple of weeks ago in the course of a misunderstand ing at Buckeye. Yesterday seems to have been the first time he and the DiXons had met since that encounter.
 The trial of Fleming was set for to- day before Justice Johnstone. Elem ing said that this litigation would be followed by a complaint against the Dixon family.
 In the case of the Marshall shooting the Dixons were two of the chief wit nesses for Fleming.

There was a sud den drop in the July price at Kansas City, where there was such a phe- nomenal advance a few days ago. July at Minneapolis also dropped back % at one time.

that it ecits little notice. And in many other

Gorilla Wiser than Elephant

ITO cite of the most conspicuous instances, al
! though there scores of i-sser ones that would
nonsuit the elephant synopsis of the local history
of the gorilla in the very locality of Fernand-Vas,
French Kongo, is sufficient to convince any student
of animal life that the comparison is invidious.
Lying between the ocean one side and Lake
Nkome on the other, extending from the Bar of
Fernand-Vas at end to the borders of Odaba
forest at the other, is a narrow tongue of land
less than thirty miles in length and varying in
width from mile so to six seven miles at the
widest parts, mostly covered with open plains,
with small of stunted forest and few narrow
belts of jungle. Within this small boundary and
scattered all sections of three four dozen
villages with total population of several hundred
people, the colonial military post, about which is
always squad of soldiers three trading stations
a large Catholic mission, customs station post and
telegraph Offices and the Government telegraph
line running from end to end of it. The entire ter
ritory is traversed by native roads in all directions
and scores of people travel them every day. Here,
in the midst of all this human population, with all
its airs and many accessories of civilization, the
gorilla lives and has lived from time mmemorial.
And not only does he exist under these adverse

lie study of animal psychics in recent
years has become subject of such
popular interest that almost every
periodical devotes part of its space
to anecdotes of animal sagacity, and
nearly every writer on animals has
some favorite to enter in the race
for intellectual supremacy. Among
the articles that have lately come
to my notice are several in which
the authors, who speak with an air
