General Boy nton welcomed him in the fol-
lowing words:
81 am glad to welcome an American prince
this time. and doubly glad to see you and
your secretary here after the accident OF
last week"
The president responded with a smile and
a bow. General Boynton then described to
the president briefly, but graphically, the
different operations connected with the bat

president an attentive listener, he frequently
interrupting the story to ask a question.
When General Boynton had concluded the
president remarked: "It is a wonderful bat.

that now more negrooes in the south are dying of tuberculosis than of any other disease. While 1t exists among all classes, 1t Is in the densely populated quarters of towns and cities, where they live in overcrowded and poorly ventilated houses, that 1t is found to be most fre= auent In institutions where large num- bers are more are less confined, the ravages of the disease are becoming truly alarming.
 The following quotation from a paper on the Future of the Colored Race in the United States" published some years ago by Dr. Eugene Corson, is interesting in this connection. He says: All the infor- nation which have been able to obtain has satisfied me that the race was a healthy one. even healthier in the main than the whites. Since the war things have been reversed; the colored race as a race is not healthy and robust one; their vitality Is In a state of unstable equilibrium, liable from any undue strain to give way" Statistics from institu- tions having both white and colored patients will show that the latter are less able to resist the onslaught of dis ease. Dr. Mitchell, the superintendent of the Mississippi State Insane asylum, in his report says; There Is one great diff ference between the races as regards  both dietetic and medicinal is the same, our loss from deaths among the colored far exceeds that sustained by the whites"
 Turning from the physical condition of the negro let us now investigate the mental stability of the race. Since 1860 the negroes of this section, and the same Is true of the south geenrally have under gone such a change In their tendency to the development of mental diseases as is shown by no other people in a similar ly short period of time in the whole his- tory of mankind. will take the statis- tics of our own state of Georgia, a typl- cally southern state, as they will prob ably be of more interest to this society than would those of the whole United States. In forty years the total negro population in the state has been little more than doubled, while the number of insane has increased twentyfold. No other such rapid and radical change in the mental stability of race Is recorded in history. This outburst of insanity be- comes still more remarkable when we consider that for generations prior to 1s6O the colored people had been free from mental disease. It has developed, therefore without the slightest heredi- tary taint.
 I cannot leave this subject without calling attention to one more danger which is threatening the negro at this time that Is the drug habit.

NEGROES, PHYSICAL CHANGE.
Extraordinary Deterioration In Body
 and Mind Since the War.

From the New York Medical Record.
 Tuberculosis has in recent years be- come so prevalent among the negroes as to justify the belief that 1t may soon be a veritable scourge to the race. The susceptibility of negroes to consumption has apparently undergone a remarkable change within the last thirty or forty years. During the days of slavery the disease was so seldom found among them that they were considered almost immune to it. In fact, some of the older writers took the stand squarely, and as- serted that consumption was unknown in the race. From being so rare as to be almost unknown, 1t has, in single gen. eration, become so prevalent and so fatal
