Resolved by the North Carolina Bar

THE Bar Association therefore re-

MORTALITY FIGURES.
The Census Bureau Publishes Sta.
tistics Of Death for 1900.
A STATEMENT BY CHIEF v. A. KING.


Washington, Aug. 22.-The census
bureau yesterday made public the
mortality statistics for the year 1900.
W. A. King, chief of the vital stats.
tics division, says: ''The most impor-
tant feature of the results presented
is found in the decrease in the gen.
eral death rate in the registration
area of is per 1000 of population, a
decrease of nearly 10 per cent, and
the decrease in the rates from the
particular diseases to which the gen
eral decrease is due. The effect of
the advance made in medical science
and sanitation and in the preventive
and restrictive measures enforced by
the health authorities is still more
strilsingly shown in the comparative
rate for the registration cities of the
country taken together. In 1890 the
death rate in 271 registration cities
of 5000 or more people was 81 per
1000; in 1900 the rate was 1870 per
1000; in 341 cities of 5000 population
and upward a reduction of "a per
1000. The gross population Of the
cities comprehended was 14,95O,254 in
1890 and 21,66O,O31 in 1900.
"The entire meaning of these fig
ures can be properly weighed only
when the rate for the Municipalities
are considered in connection with the
known conditions of the local i'm
provement in sanitation and health
of a statistical nature and which were
not developed by the inquiries in the
schedule. The decrease in the gen.
eral death rate, and in the rates due
to diseases most frequent in the early
years of life, on one hand, and the
increase in the rates due to those dis
eases occurring generally at advanced
ages on the other, mean also in
creased longevity.
"The average age at death in 1890
was 3l.1 years; in 1900 1t was 1852
years.
"The total number of deaths re-
ported in 1900 was 1,039,O94; in 1890
1t was SALAD. The increase was
therefore 197,675, or 1915 per cent.
As the percentage of increase in the
was but 20.7 this indicates
a more complete return of deaths
Than in 1890"
Among the totals in the various
states and territories for 1900 are the
following: Indian territory, 5,2s6;
Iowa, 1873; Kansas, 1921; Missouri
3s,OS4; Nebraska, 1894; Oklahoma,
3,1s1.

SNOW SHEDS BURNED
Three Thousand Feet Of the Struc-
lures Lost at Lakeview.
FOREST FIRES NOW UNDER CONTROL
BY the Collapse OF burning OIL Tank at
Point Breeze About Hundred Per-
sons We're More or Less Severe
ly Burned,

Truckee, CAL, Aug. 2a.-Three thou
sand feet of snow sheds burned at
Lakeview yesterday. The fire started
in car loaded with charcoal stand
ing on a spur close to the station,
The telegraph operator had barely
time to summon fire trains from
Truckee, Cisco and Summit before the
entire building was in flames. Having
given the news his dispatch ended
with: Its getting too hot to stay,
good-by.'
When the fire trains reached Lake
view the flames were rushing through
the sheds like blasts from furnace
and both trains had to retreat. Once
the Summit train extinguished the
fire completely, only to find that it
had crept through the forest and
caught in the sheds in the rear. The
Cisco train did good service, helping
the one from Summit. Six empty fiat
cars, one car of charcoal and two
cars of wood were burned on the side
track. At three o'clock the fire was
completely under control and by six
o'clock the timbers had burned out
and the roadbed cooled down so that
the 400 workmen began clearing the
debris and laying new ties and rails.
They worked all night and will have
the track repaired some time this
morning. The wind blew gale dur
ing the day but last night it was calm
and the forest fires which started on
either side of the burning sheds were
under control
More OIL Destroyed by Fire.
Philadelphia, Aug. 22.--By the col
lapse of burning oil tank at the
Atlantic Refining company's plant at
Point Breeze, where a fire has been
raging since Monday afternoon, about
100 persons, hremen, employees Of the
company and spectators, were more
or less severely burned. Most of the
cases were treated on the ground by
ambulance surgeons, but few of
them were sufficiently serious to
necessitate removal to the hospitals.
When the tank careened and fell the
heavy iron sheathing separated, pre-
cipitating great quantities of blazing
petroleum into Passytnk avenue.
There was a wild stampede among the
people in the vicinity and many of
them were badly burned.
II is difficult to secure an accurate
idea of the loss. President Lloyd, of
the Atlantic Refining company, said
that even the officials of the company
did not know how many tanks had
been destroyed. He estimated the
loss at 100000 or 100000.
