Dsasn Rate Of the Co.oIed R.sc.

The color I'd race in America con.
tinues to increase and multiply,
but 1t also continues to die more
rapidly than it ought. A medical
man of Nashville has prepared
table of mortuary statistics show
ing the relative death rates among
the white and colored inhabitants
Of the principal Southern cities,
and from these figures it appears
that the mortality among the
blacks is about seventy-five per
cent. greater than among the
whites. In Memphis the death rate
among the whites is 1906 per
thousand, while the colored breth-
rem crowd the golden stairs at the
rate of 40.06 per thousand every
year. In Mobile the white popula-
tion contributes to the prosperity
Of the undertakers 1915 bodies a
year out OF every thousand, while
the negroes celebrate with funeral
pomp the burial of SO. II per thous-
and. In Richmond the rate is 1870
for the whites and 2S.13 for the
blacks, while in New Orleans
1t is 25.45 for the former and
$3.50 for the latter. The greatest
mortality among the whites is
reached in Charleston, where the
rate is 27.2l per thousand, while
the District of Columbia furnishes
the largest death roll for the
blacks: viz, 47.60 per thousand. 1t
10 curious fact that Mobile, within
forty miles of the Gulf of Mexico,
appears 10 be the healtbiest of
southern cities for the blacks, Sol
ma alone showing lower death
rate among its colored people.

THE COMING CONTEST - THE
ExCURsI0N.-The most extensive
preparations have been made for
the excursion to Los Angeles and
Santa Monica ON Saturday next.
About 200 people have engaged in
1t. Two special cars will be pro-
vided and will be taken with the
morning train on Saturday. Let.
ters from Los Angeles state that
every provision will be made for
the party. The excursion has its
origin in the challenge of the "Two
Orphans" base ball club of Bakers
field to the "Namelessu club of Los
Angeles. The Bakersfield club is
composed of the following persons:
II. G. Park, A. Mills, Jr., w. E.

An Ootodsoentennial.

One Of the most marvellous of
Solicitations is to occur next year.
IL ID the 1600th anniversary, or oc-
tt11<as..osIteInsai OF the surying OF
the fiourishing cities of Pompeii
and Herculaneum, by the discharge
from Mount Vesuvius. The year
70 opened with these cities in all
their prosperity and elegance, and
the piers Of Pompsii> were
lined with Roman leys.
The year closed wit vide,
dismal stretch of ash and
and scori@, compacte0 over
the whole region; the seashore was
far removed from its former posi-
tion, and not trace of the buried
cities was to be seen upon the sur
face OF the desert. With that gen.
Grafton passed away any certain
knowledge of The whereabouts of
the buried towns. Indeed, it was
only by two or thiee rather vague
illusions that their names were
preserved in the scanty remnants
Of Roman literature that survived
the wreck of the northern Invasion.
Soon the land was peopled with q
hybrid and illiterate race, indiffer-
ent to the imperial relics that COW
cred the earth's surface. They
were little likely to interest them
selves in antiquities buried from
sight. At first some slight portions
Of the Pompeiian edifices had been
found near the surface, but their
character was not understood nor
even cared for by the ignorant peo-
pie to whom architectural remains
were q common incumbrance. The
ashes soon became fertile soil.
vineyards were planted and vii
lagos built, scores of generations
lived and died there. At length,
when seventeen centuries had
passed, the dead cities were brought
to light. They were nearly in the
same condition as on the afternoon
wher they were overwhelmed, and
they stand as a revelation of a
world that has passed away. For
nearly century discoveries have
been made in constant succession,
until we are enabled to step into
the domestic life of the inhabitants
and see the old Romans as they
were. The proposed celebration
will be one of the most interesting
of our times.

6roW herself into the ditch near
Tie house. She was terribly burned
and fingered In great agony until
some time during the night, when
~ died. The house and all 1t
oontained was q total loss, not even

The cause Of the fire is not known,

At IL O'Clock yesterday a fire
started on the land of Mr.. Reilly,
