STATISTICS OF THE NEGRO
!cnth Rate in This Country Nearly
Twice that of the Whites.

!cnth Rate in This Country Nearly
Twice that of the Whites.
The final census bulletin on the ne
10 population shows that there are
',2o4,531 negroes in the United States,
including Alaska, Hawaii and Porto
Rico. Half OF this great number are
under 10 years of age and from IL to
is per cent of them have white blood
in their veins. The center of this
black population is De kalb County,
Alabama, 1t having moved from Din
widdie County, Virginia, northeast 476
miles, since 100.
Thus the negro population consti.
tutes about>one-tlfteenth of the city
population and one-sevcntl of the
country population of continental Uni
ted States. This proportion, although
still large, is the result CT n steady de.
cline during the nineteenth century.
The death rate of negroes approxi.
mates 80 per cent, while that of the
whites is II per cent.
AT present fully 90 per cent of the
negroes live in the Southern States and
u per cent of them reside upon farms.
But the northern migration to the big
cities has been noticeable during the
last two decades and is In large
measure responsible for the excessive
death rate among them. Bad habits,
poverty and disease make terrible in
roads upon negroes living in the big
cities.
The largest number of negroes living
In compact masses are found in Ger.
tain urban counties. several of which
lie outside the great cotton-growing
States. The four each having 10000
negroes are District of Columbia, CO.
extensive with Washington; Shelby
County, Tennessee. containing Mem
phis; Baltimore City, Md, and Orleans
parish, Louisiana. co-eXtensive with
New Orleans. The negroes form one
third of the population of the entire
South and 4S.6 per cent of them are
reckoned among bread winners, as
against 400 per cent of the Southern
whites, but these figures apparently
in favor of the Southern black men are
accounted for by the prevalence OF fe-
male labor among the negroes.-Kan-

6S years ago. He served In the Aus
trian army for several years and Won
distinction for bravery Mt the battle
of Sadowa. He came to this country
thirty years ago and In 1876 establish
ed n bakery and restaurant ut the cor
ner of Broadway and 10th street in
New York City. He soon built UP a
great business and accumulated for
Nlne. One morning lie found two OF
three hungry wanderers outside the
door of the bakery. He gave each of
them loaf Of bread and told them to
call again. They were on hand the
next day, with recruits in their ranks.
Soon the daily crowd of hungry ones
grew to big proportions. Then it was
that Mr.. Fieischmann organized the
'bread line" The loaves of bread re-
naming unsold during the day were
given away each night to those who
applied for them. No questions were
asked. The fact that man appeared
in the line was sufficient that he was
hungry and he was given some bread.
Sometimes there were 800 in line and
ngain the crowd would number 500.
They represented all conditions and
classes. Occasionally well-dressed
man. against whom the tide of fortune
had turned. would be seen in the
group. For twenty-eight years the
bread line' has been in existence,
and 1t is estimated that during that
time 100000 loaves have been given
away. During cold winter nights Mr..
Flelschmann gave cup of coffee
along with the bread to his strange
visitors. He also secured work for
hundreds of unfortunatcs aid gave
them chance to get on their feet.
