THE ELEVENTH CENSUS.

a Circular From thelSuperfntendentA Ad-
dressed to the Medical Profession.
The following circular has been received
by the INDEPENDENT from Robert P. Por-
ter. superintendent of the Eleventh Cen
sus, with the request for its publication:
To the Medical Profession: The various
medical associations and the medical pro-
fession will be glad to learn that DIR. John
5. Billings, surgeon United States army.
has consented to take charge of the report
on the mortality and vital statistics Of the
United States as returned by the Eleventh
Census.
As the United States shss no system Of
registration of vital statistics. such as is re-
lied upon OY other civilized nations for the
purpose of sscertaing the actual movement
OF population, our census affords the only
opportunity of obtaining near an approx
mate estimate of the birth and death rates
of much the larger part of the country.
which Is entirely unprOvided with any sat
isfactory system of state and municipal
registration.
In view of this. the census Office. during
the month of May, this year, will issue 70
the medical profession throughout the
country "Physician's Registers for the
purpose of obtaining more accurate returns
of deaths than il is possible for the emu
that physicians in every part of the coun-
try will cooperate with the census Office in
this important work. The record should
be kept from June l, 1889, to May 81, 1890
Nearly 2b,OOO OF these registration books
were filled up and returned to the Office in
1850, and nearly all of them used for sta
tistical purposes. II is hoped that double
this number will be obtained for the
eleventh census.
Physicians not receiving registers can OBJ
tain them by sending their names and ad-
dresses 10 the census Office, and, with the
register, an official envelope which re-
quires no stamp will be provided for their
return to Washington.
IL all medical and surgical practitioners
throughout the country will lend their aid
the morality and vital statistics of the
eleventh census will be more comprehen-
sive and complete than they have ever
been. Every physician should take a per
sonal pride In having this report as full
ana accurate as IL Is possible TO make Ii.
liz Is hereby promised that all informa-
ton obtained through this source shall be
held strictly confidential.

MILLIONS FOR COSMETICS.

Enormous Sums Paid for Face Prepare
tions.
Chicago Inter-Ocean: Behind a little
table, on which were arranged bottles,
pots, and boxes of msshes, lotions, pastes,
creams and powders, DIR. Albert Z. Ebert,
president of the board of pharmacy, talked
TO the members ef the Women's Physio-
logical institute at Ethical hall on "Cos-
metics.r He talked very plainly, too, fix
ing his points as he proceeded by exhibit
ing samples of most of the preparations
popular with women. What he said was
not so much condemnation of the use of
cosmetics as it was an explanation Of the
swindles practiced by manufacturers
There are 10000 of these preparations"
he said. land one hrn alone
in the city lists 1000 of them" Then he
read seven simple formulas, and gave the
names of a half dozen elements, and said
that every compound sold under whatever
name contained nothing he had not named.
"ThIs little pot" he said, holding up a
cream, ''has at present a wonderful reputa-
ton on the strength of its secret formula.

perfumed with rose. 1 will give you the
formula" and he did so. "It has
pretty ribbon about 1t and
Sells lOf El-Oo. VI Elo uOLcu.
What does it cost? Ten cenul" Then he
showed the ladies what they were buying
when they purchased another cream of
wide reputation. "You pay a 81 80 for il.
IL is pretty bottle and holds eight ounces.
Seven of them are pure water. The other
is calomel. Cost OF calomel for a dozen
bottles, SO cents; cost of bottles, 25 cents
each; filling and corking six cents: total, 60
cents. Retail, SIS.
'sThe danger arising from the use of cos
metics," said the doctor, " Is greatly over
drawn. Face preparations have q legiti-
mate use, and properly used are no more
harmful than perfumes Zinc, when pres
ent in powders, possesses some curative
powers, and bismuth is only slightly in
furious The principal trouble is the con-
tinued application of powders and the
stopping up Of the capillaries Of the face.
Most face powders are only zinc,

ter intolthem. They are more frequently
found in washes, which get their only mer-
il from the glycerine or oil in which the
elements are ground In all OF them there

DIR. Ebert had some figures, which
showed that s62, ,OOO, 600 were spent in
America each year for cosmetics, of which
SIS, 600, 900 was reinvested in advertising,
and that of the remainder SIS, ,000. 600 was

CASCADE, June l.-[Special to the In
dependent Capt. j. 5. Cadge. a promi-
nent cattleman and well known over Mon
tans, was burned TO death last night The
particulars as far as obtainable are that
about l o'clock he was wakened by his
wife, who told him that the house was
afire. They both ran out and the captain,
remembering that he had some valuable
papers, ran back into the house to save
them. Mrs. Cadge says he had no sooner
entered the building than he fell TO the
floor suffocated. Before he could be res
cued he was burned to death. The body
was frightfully burned. Both of the legs
were burned to a crisp.
Capt. Cadge was about 50 years OF age
and was born in Bracondale, Norwich,
England. He was married in New York
city in August, 1888, TO an estimable Eng
Iish lady. He was beloved by all who
knew him and was well and favorably
known all over the territory. He was one
of the early pioneers and his loss will be
deeply regretted. Mrs. Cadge is compare
lively a stranger. but will not lack friends.

SCANLAN's DENIAL.
Another Feature of the Cronin Case. But
No New Developments.


CHICAGO. June 1.-The many assertions
that evidence relating 70 the Cronin muir
der and 10 the alleged huge defalcation in
the Irish national funds bad been discoy-
cred by Mortimer Scanlan in the books Of
the Defunct Traders bank Of this city,
while he was in Chicago as a court officer,
were denied tonight by Scanlan himself,
who in a statement over his own signature
says all such statements are false, and at
taches a letter from Sheriff Matson, stating
that he iScanlan) was never deputy
sheriff, was never constable
nor in any way whatever connected
with the effects of the Traders bank.
Upon the truth of the Traders bank story
has rested many sensational stories that
recently appeared as 10 the supposed mo
tive for the murder of Cr0nin- Aside from
this statement of Mr.. Seaman, there have
been no important Developments in the
case to-day. Chief Hubbard said tonight
that the police are pursuing the investiga-
ton with all the vigOr possible, but that
the progress is slow. Mr.. j. +. Beggs,
young attorney. is reputed 70 be the senior
guardian of the Columbia club, or Camp
9s of the Clan na-Gael- IL was by this
camp. rumor has It, that DIR. Cronin was
tried for treason in star-chamber proceed
ings. The police, it is said, have
been Tor some time
to collect evidence 10 connect Camp with
the removal of Cronin. Mr.. Beggs was
seen by reporter this afternoon and ques-
toned as to his connection with the Clan
na-Gael. He said the oath of the order
prohibited him from giving information
about members or as TO the position Occu-
pied by himself. Referring 20 the state
ment by Luke Dillon, of Philadelphia,
that the chief executive of the order would
be asked to remove the pledge of secrecy
from the members that the organization
might clear itself of the charges which
have been made against il in connection
with the case, Mr.. Beggs said
he hoped the oath would be sus-
pended, and added If the lClan-na-Gael
does not acquit itself of any connection
with this crime it would be wrecked and
the Irish cause in America would perish
with IT, IL the oath OF secresy should be
suspended he is confident the order will be
instantly acquitted Of completely in the
crime, as its members and books would
make il so plain that the Clan-na-Gael, as
an order, had nothing to do with the mur-
der that such thing would never be
thought of again.

A Remarkable Infant Born in Arkansas
to COlored People.
A Warren (Arkansas) correspondent of
the Globe-Democrat says: Bradley is one
of the foremost counties of the state and
has on several occasions distinguished her
self above her sister counties in many
ways, the most notable being the occasion
when her cotton took first premium at the
Worlds Fair at New Orleans and won not
only distinction for herself, but for the
state. But not until since few days ago
has she startled the outside world with
anything remarkable. In this instance IL
was a negro baby, given birth by the wife
of Dennis Crosby, and weighing at the
time OF its birth eighteen pounds without
clothing. The weight Of this child is re-
marksble, and it was not believed until
several of the most prominent citizens of
our place went out, distance of a few
miles, to the home of the parents of the
child and saw for themselves. The child
and mother are both doing well, and the
former bids fair to make q fair specimen of
African manhood This Is the largest
baby for its age in the state, and if there
has ever been born q baby of greater
weight in the United States the fact has
never been communicated TO the writer.
In this Bradley county claims another
proud distinction. and asks to be placed at
the head of the list for the production of
negro babies.

THE BooDLFR.s RETURN.


The return of william j. MEG arigIe to
Chicago, his payment OF fine Of $1,000
and the dismissal Of the charges against
him mark the close Of a remarkable
criminal prosecution. The so-called
Doodle trials at Chicago in the first part
Of 1857 were undertaken after the county
had been robbed of over million dollars
by the board Of county commissioners,
the principals Of which were Messrs.
Van Pelt. Wasserman, Wrenn and Nc
Carthy. The ring had its agents in the
various county institutions, whose part
in the conspiracy was to collect from
contractors for supplies, labor, etc, q
certain percentage upon the amount Of
their contracts and turn it over to the
ringsters in the board and out Of it. The
disclosures were Of the most startling
character, and tended to implicate men
who had stood high in public estimation
as well as others who were quite as well
known. though not so highly esteemed.
McGarigle, who had risen to be chief Of
police from the position OF patrolman.
all ia the course Of ten years, was at this
time warden Of the county hospital. and

A NOTABLE SERMON.
DIR. Lyman Abbott Believes in Repentance
and salvation.


DIR. Lyman Abbott Believes in Repentance
and salvation.
New York special: That part of the
Presbyterian creed in which it is declared
that God has fOre-Ordained certain part
of the human race to eternal life and the
rest TO eternal destruction was read by
Rev. ID. lyman Abbott this morning In
Plymoth church, and was made the text OF
the most notable sermon that DIR. Abbott
has delivered since he became the successor
of Henry Ward Beecher.
The sermon was remarkable as contain
ing an Outspoken declaration from an emil
nent Congregational clergyman and editor
OF the Christian Union of his belief in the
possibility of repentance after death.
DIR. Abbott began with a statement of the
Calvanistic system. which he said regards
the whole human family as one body
dOUmed 70 punishment for the sin of It's
progenitor. The modern system, Dr. Alb
bott could give it no other name, took the
opposite idea Every man is responsible
for his own Sins alone
DIR. Abbott proceeded still further In the
opposite direction from the Calvinistic
faith. He held that Gods mercy was not
limited by race; it was for one race as
much as for another. IL is not limited by
color; and under this head a clergyman re-
ferred 10 the discussion of the color line in
but IiCcug trAldn EtueTdi assembly, ana
said that the same subject would be intro
duced in the Congregational association
shortly 20 meet at Saratoga.
Neither is Gods mercy subject to any
limit of time, said DIR. Abbott. He found
nothing in the Bible 70 lead him to believe
that the oneI OF divine mercy was limited
20 mans lifetime. Ii he had found that
doctrine in the gospel It could have been
no gospel TO him. IL in the far recesses of
eternity some wretched beings have forgot
ten God it will be because the door OF his
mercy is not wide open.
