Nearoes Prey of consunntion.

New York, May 15.-Statistics tha
have been gathered by the charity or
ganization society shows that the
American negroes are more subject t.
consumption than any other race o.
people of which statistics can be sc
curA. The death rate from consump
tion between the ages of 15 and 4
are for negroes in the United State
584 per 100000 and for native born
whites 1863 per 100000. The reason
given for this great disparity is the
unsanitary conditions under Which the
negroes live, improper use of food anC
