YANKEES DYING OUT.
Falling Off of Native Births and In
crease of Deaths
Facts shown by Board OF Health
Sta atistics in the Old New
D0Sland States - New
Population

By startling leaps the old Yankee race
seems to be dying out in Connecticut
and in most of the old New England
states. Every report of vital statistics
compiled for several years in Connecti-
cut and all the New England states eX-
cept Maine bears witness to the fact,
but none has proved it so thoroughly
as the annual report of the Connecticut
state board of health. The decrease
shown in the number of inhabitants of
American parentage, not alone of the
descendants of the old English or Pill
grim settlers, but the second, third, and
later generations of descendants of
other nationalities, is startling. For
this class of population the death rate
is shown to exceed the birth rate. The
Connecticut Yankee appears to be
evincing a growing disinclination to
marry and preserve the family stock,
while the foreigner who has just ar
rived records the same increase in fam
lily as the neighbors he left in Europe.
In Connecticut country towns the de-
crease in the birth rate is most signifi-
cant. In six towns in New Haven coun-
ty, with total population of 1850, there
were last year 1o7 deaths and SO births.
In ~ country towns Of the state, with
a population of SAG, there We're 1,O39
deaths and 300 births.
From 1855 to 1897 there were 3O,1S3
American and goose foreign women
who were mothers of at least one child
among the residents of Connecticut.
1O,3S5 of American birth who hadborne
three children during that time, but
only 7S4 American women had borne
ten children, while I,535 foreign moth
ers had borne that number during their
life.
Between the eight years mentioned
the percentage of births Of American
parentage fell from 4a.2 to 40.g per cent.
and the percentage of births of foreign
parentage rose from 35.7 to 422 per
cent
The number of children born in Con-
necucut OF native parents in 1897 was
s,i25, of foreign parents s,6sT, and of
mixed foreign and American parents
3,2i6. This is the first time that the
number of children of foreign parents
ever passed the number born of Ameri-
can parents in Connecticut.
Although the American families of
the state have furnished less than half
of the births they have given the rec
ords of vital statistics material for more
than half the deaths for the last ten
years. In 1897 lO,O37 American-born
persons died in Connecticut 70 1914
persons of foreign birth. The fact that
the fureign-born residents of the state
furnished only about a fourth of all the
deaths is one of the remarkable facts
brought out by the report.
The problem of the relation of the
birth to the death rate in Connecticut
has not assumed serious proportions,
as there is a large-sized increase in the
total number of births. The feature of
the question which furnishes food for
thought is that, at the present rate.

Guard the German Emperor in Sc

In Berlka.

Whenever the young emperor Of Ger
message is sent to the police station and
within five minutes policemen are scat
tered all along the road over which The
emperor will appear. These men must
be in the center of the roadway when
the emperor's carriage drives by and
keep one whole side of the street clear
for him. At the same time other men
strew sand on the asphalt pavement SO
that the horses driven by the emperor
shall not slip and fall, for the emperor
is very fast driver and thinks a great
deal of the royal horses, which, of
course, are the finest in Germany.
All at once, with clatter of hoots
and scattering OF sand, a carriage shin
ing brightly in the sun comes dashing
down the street drawn by beautiful
coal-black horses who arch their necks
as proudly as if they knew they be-
longed to the greatest man in Germany
and carried golden harness on their
backs worth fortune. You have only
time to see handsome and richly
dressed young man and the white
haired empress in the carriage, when
it is gone, and the 200 men who have
been sent cut 10 look after the safety OF
the emperor in few minutes have left
their posts as quietly as they came. So
easily is all this done that strangers do
not notice anything strange, only per-

policemen than usual on the Streets
