Negro dies Out in Citie..

In view of the current discussion OF
the race problem it Is interesting to
know that the vital statistics OF thu
twelfth census show that the death
rate exceeds the number of BIRTH
among the negroes In practically ev-
cry city In the country to a remarkable
extent
In Chicago there were $50 births and
$40 deaths among the negro popula
ton in 1900. making the excess OF
deaths 300. Negro births in St Louii
In the same year were 594. while thu
deaths exceeded them by 561. In New
York City the excess of negro DEATH
over the births was $40; in Boston. 81
Washington, 701; New Orleans, 1915
Out Of ffty-six cities reported by the
census In all parts of the country the
death rate among negroes is found ts
be greater than the birth rate in fifty
cities. The remaining six cities art
nearly all places with very small negrs
where the excess in birth
rate might be accounted for by acct
dental falling OF in the death rate fol
that particular year.
Students and economists are askfna
whether this excess of deaths oveJ
births will gradually bring about ex
inction of the negro race

Mumrnx in Spain.

Never in my life have I seen such
wrapping and mufiling as I have seen
In Spain. The men here wear very
heavy cloaks-heavier than any outer
garment we have in America except
fur coats. These cloaks are usually
lined with colored plush; the insides
of the front flaps are often lined with
red or green or yellow plush. and
often with two colors. Sometimes the
men have pointed hoods to their
cIoaks, but even when the cloaks are
not hooded the wearers wrap the
capes around their threats and mouths
and even around their heads. I have
often seen a spaniard going along
in a cloak and with muf

A Mother Birds Devotion.


On the Southbridge branch OF the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad the conductor has coach
which Is reserved for use when the
travel Is heavy. At other times II lies
in the yards at the East Thompson
end Of the branch. On a recent occa-
sion this car was attached to the train
to make the run to southbridge. a dis
lance OF eighteen miles.
During the six weeks that II had
lain idle q robin had built her nest
upon the rods beneath the door and
Matched four little ones. When the
train carried OF her brood. the mother
went along. too. flying over the eigh-
teen miles. and coming into the
southbridge station a minute behind
the train.
During the interval between runs.
while the car lay with many others
In the yards. the mother singled II out.
and improved the time by feeding and
caring for her nestlings. On fhe re-
turn she followed It up. and In this
way the robin family made the ZIP
four times that day. covering a total
distance of seventy-two miles.
When the coach was once more side
tracked at East Thompson. the moth
err took her place on the nest to warm
up her naked children. who had be-
come chilled from exposure to tho
damp, cold air.
This interesting incident was wit
messed by a number OF the employees.

Whether II be the Panama or the

reason OF the establishment OF its ma

TO become and Is fast becoming one OF
the most powerful ports Of the nation
In naval construction as well as In its
merchant marine. according to the
Times Democrat OF that city.
Since standard rates for docking
merchant ships have been established
by authority OF the navy department
II has been actually proved by figures
that up to the present time the reve
nue. received from docking fees has
paid the expenses OF construction and
repair. together with fair rate OF In

chant ships since the acceptance OF
the floating dry dock. May 20. 1902,

also eontended by the department that
II Is non use OF every structure which 1

the department Is subserving national

oiguiAcant Evidence Of Wsasa's In
crsssinx Independence.

oi9utAcant Evtde nee Of Wsaaasu In
crsssinx Independence.
No more significant evidence Of WON
ans Increasing Independence Ia afford
I'd than the changed attitude With
which the law regards her status after
marriage. says Robert Webster Jones
In the Housekeeper To realize the
radical reform that has been effected
In this regard during the last tifty
years We have only TO recall the mar
riage protest" Of Lucy Stone. the ia
nous advocate of equal suffrage. Upon
her marriage In 1855 TO Henry b.
Blackwell. both she and her husband
signed protest" against such OF the
present laws OF marriage as refuse TO
recognize the wife as an independent.
rational being, while they confer upon
the husband an Injurious and unnatu-
raj superiority. investing him with le-
gal powers which no honorable man
would exercise and which no man
should possess" Among the laws pro-
tested against were those giving the
husband the exclusive control and
guardianship OF the children: the sole
ownership OF the wire's personal estate
and the use OF her real estate. unless
previously placed in the hands OF trus-
tees; the absolute right to the product
OF the wife's industry. and. finally. pro-
test was made against ''the whole sys-
TEN by which the legal existence Of the
wife Is suspended during marriage. SO
that she neither has a legal part In the
choice Of her residence. nor can she
make a will. nor sue or be sued In her
own name. nor Inherit property" Then
the newly married couple cited this as
their creed:
I'VE believe that personal independ-
ence and equal human rights can never
be forfeited except for crime; that mar
rage should be an equal and perma-
nent partnership and so recognized by
law; that until IL Is so recognized mar
ried partners should provide against
the radical injustice Of present laws by
every means In their power"
Ii Is gratifying TO observe how. dur
ing the last half century. the various
unfair Determinations which were the
objects OF Lucy Stones marriage pro-
test have been removed from the stat
ute books and laws substituted which
embody the long-looked-for justice. Dir
ferent States have special laws, but
the country the principle
holds good that a married woman.
without the consent OF her husband.
may receive. hold and manage proper
y. and sell or bequeath II, as she sees
81. In most States. too. she may
make contracts In her own name and
ncur liabilities.
