Increasing Number 6 Cases Caus-
ing Investigation.
Facts Being Gathered by Surgeon
General of Marine Hospital serv-
ice--ConRress TO lie Askedt to
Establish LabarettoA,

The surgeon general of the marine
hospital service is not ready to pub
fish the results thus far obtained I'M
der his direction in the attempt to
enumerate the known cases of leprosy
in the United States, for the returns
are far from complete. But, says the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, sufficient material has
already been secured by the experts
who have been investigating for the
last two years to indicate that there
are at least 1000 lepers in this coun-
try, most of them immigrants from
abroad, and to warrant strong recon-
mendations to congress for their seq
regation. The commission, consisting
of Surgeon j. II. White, chairman, and
Passed Assistant Surgeons G. 4.
Vaughan and M. j. Rosenau, have been
working under congressional authori-
ty since 1899. They sent circular let
ters to physicians, health officers, hos
pital superintende and others in
600 localities, covering the entire coun-
try, asking for reports and informa-
ton regarding leprosy patients. Eight
thousand circulars have been sent out
and only 1000 replies have been re-
ceivel. From these PIT lepers have
been located and their names and adj
dresses obtained. About 100 are known
to live in New Orleans, many of whom
are well-to-do persons of good fam
lilies. In New York seven cases have
been reported. In San Francisco Is
cases are known; IL are confined in the
pesthouse. Owing to the fact that
three-fourths of the circulars have
brought no replies, especially from
suspicious districts, the authorities es-
innate that only about one-fourth of
the cases of leprosy have been re-
ported.
The commission will almost certain
ly recommend to congress in its forth
coming preliminary report that ma
tional labarettos be established in
several parts of the country-one, per-
haps, at New Orleans, one in New
York and another in Minnesota or
Montana.

FINDS BABY IS A NEGRO.
After Seven Years They Return II to
Charities COmmissAoner, But
Foster Mother ReIents.

Seven years ago childless couple In
Brooklyn went to the charities commits
sioners and said they wanted to adopt
baby which they could bring up as
their own. Some time later a healthy
youngster was turned over to them after
adoption papers had been signed. In
time they realized that there was tinge
of negro blood in the baby's veins. AS
the child grew older the evidence of
negro blood became more and more APP
parent. At last the couple decided to
return the child. They took 1t to the
charities department and told the whole
story to Deputy Commissioner Charles
E. Teale. with whom they left the child.
This was two weeks ago.
A few days later the foster mother
returned and said she could not part with
the child.
But you knew it was not white
child" said the deputy commissioner.
II can't help that" said the woman.
81 want her back in spite of her color"
The child was taken to her former
home.

BEAUTY EXPERTS IN DISMAY.
SultaR OF Turkey FOrbids the Use of
Lard in Toilet Prep
Rratlona.

The beauty experts have had Sc
we're setback in the Turkish capital
since the sultan's thirst for knowledge
led him to look into the ingredients of
cosmetics and pomades.
Learning that a large majority of
these articles, dear to the heart of
woman, are mixed with pork lard, Abb
dull Hamid at once put royal prohibi-
ton upon the importation and sale of
such "impurity." He invoked the
command of the koran. bidding the
faithful abjure all things appertaining
to a pig.
Manufacturers sof soaps and other
toilet articles have been notified that
only such as are exempt from all sus-
picion of the unclean will be accept
able. Small merchants are buying up
the unorthodox merchandise prohibited
by the sultan.

The movement to honor by a suitable
memorial the English newspaper cor
respondents who lost their lives in the
South African war revives the recol-
lection of service performed under try
ing and perilous conditions. The Som-
mittee of the Institute of Journalists
has been compiling list of the CORE

disease while in the discharge of duty.
"Killed at Wagon Ill.," "Killed at
Slingersfontein, ""Killed at Mafeking,"

compared with it's cost in men. Try
how they may, no class of men con-

Nevertheless 'suspenders" was the
question of the hour and after the even
ing's programme had been finished knots
OF women gathered in the corridors of
the Lexington hotel and in the parlors
and asked each other the question:
""ill your" Every other topic paled and
the attention of every woman was riv-
eted on the new reform. The majority
agreed that they would frown on the in
noyation, but If 1t becomes "swagger"
and the correct thing to do those who
frowned hardest may be the first to
adopt the suspenders.
The leading modistes agree that
strong possibility exists that these same
startling acquisitions to woman's toilet
may become this winter one of the main
stays of the gowns, whether street,
house or those designed for evening
functions, that the Chicago society
woman will wear. At the recent exhibit

Gently held at the New York fashion
show, the idea of adding suspenders to
women's wear as an aid in supporting
the heavy skirts which the prevailing
fashions demand was advocated by a
number of the fashionable modistes of
the east
Nine. Hubert has designed and manu-
featured an article or pair of articles
closely resembling the suspenders worn
by men and these she exhibited at the
convention. The idea in wearing this in
vention is to use the shoulders in sup
porting the heavy skirts, thus relieving
the waist and hips of all strain. While
the idea is not a new one among re-
formers, the design by Nine Hubert is
thought to be the most convenient and
the most practicable of any thus far in
troduced.
When working model of the Hubert
pattern was sprung on the members of
the association and the visitors mighty
murmur OF disapproval arose and
swelled as the purpose of the display
was explained. This lessened, however,
as the speaker adjusted the new article
to lay figure. 1t worked well enough

cally to harness horse in a fire engine

tion was hitched to the lay figure.
Here the murmur of disapproval dis
appeared entirely and was replaced by
looks of incredulity. The good points Of
the model were presented to the audi
ence and its beneficial results when
worn were dilated on.
