DEATHS AND FUNERALS
Mrs. Young's Funeral.

The funeral of Mrs. I. F. Young took place from the Church of the Advent yesterday afternoon. and the body was laid to rest In Oakhill cemetery The services at the church were conducted by the rector. the Rev. Quincy Ewing.
 The beautiful burial service was read with tender impressiveness, and the choir sang appropriate selections. There was no sermon or address. The attend ance was very large. and never, perhaps were so many floral offerings seen before in Birmingham. A loved one whose mem- orv will be long and fondly cherished, sleeps beneath wilderness of flowers.

 The report of the city physician for the month follows:
 Although health conditions have gen orally been good during the month of April the death rate has been very heavy. The death rate from tuberculosis and cerebro spinal meningitis has been un- usually heavy, while there have been twenty deaths from violence besides two from alcoholism and another from poison- ing of an unknown nature. These mat ters only partially account for the high death rate which seems to be only CO., incidence. At the beginning of the year a letter was addressed to each of the hospitals and undertaking establishments asking them to cooperate with this office in excluding non-residents from our death list Situated as we are in the center of a great industrial region and furn- ishing hospital facilities to still greater area there are a great many deaths among people who are brought to our hospitals for the treatment Of injuries or disease. There have been fourteen such deaths oc- curing during the month of April that l know of. and perhaps more. While a rec ord of these deaths is kept by our office. they should not be figured in our sta tistlcs. l trust that those who can do so will assist us in keeping correct list of such nonresident deaths.
 Filling and Draining Ponds.
 During April the work of filling and draining ponds has been pushed, but there is a great deal along this line to be ac- complished yet. In this connection atten- tion is called to our city ordinance provid- ing for the screening of all tanks, rain bar rels and other receptacles holding water in which mosquitoes may breed.
 The High school and the Martin school were visited during April. There are few criticisms to be offered as to the sanitation of the High school There Is one gross defect in the building. how ever that should be remedied by all means. The concrete floor In the girls side of the basement is laid in such a manner as to make the use of the shower baths impracticable on account of the faulty drainage. Then. too, each of the water closets should by all means be pro vided with swinging door, such as Is commonly used. The work of the ladies' school improvement organization in pro vidlng a wholesome lunch for the High school pupils at a nominal figure cannot be too highly commended.
 Ventilation at Schools.
 At the Martin school there has been a great deal of complaint on account of the ventilation This trouble will prob ably be less noticeable since spring has opened up. However. there seems to have been a serious mistake made In allowing the smokestacks from the ventllating furnaces to run up through the fresh air pipe. One of these stacks is evidently damaged to some extent. thus allowing smoke and odors from the closets to es- cape into the fresh air supply. l would recommend that this matter be attended to at the earliest possible opportunity.

The Bijou.

"The Convict's Daughter" at the Bijou has one feature which comments 1t to all theatregoers. That is a series of moving pictures taken In San Francisco imme- diately after the disaster which laid that city in ruins. These pictures are shown during the first and third intermissions and are extremely interesting. They give a vivid impression of San Francisco's des- olation. The play itself is up to the usual melodrama standard. A performance will be given tonight.

Total deaths

It might be stated that only three cases of typhoid fever was reported in the city during the month of April, these being reported by one physician. If these are the only cases that have occurred in the city during the month, the coincidence Is very striking. It is to be hoped that physicians will not overlook the import ant matter of reporting such cases. Re- spectfully submitted.

Massachusetts does some strange
things in politics, but the way in which
II buried the impossible Moran is cal
culated to give renewed confidence in
its political sanity. An analysis of the
vote received by Moran shows that as
a Democrat he ran $4,000 behind the
vote of Bartlett last year. The Pro-
hibition vote for Moran was $4,000 and
his Independence League vote was IS,
O0O. Assuming that each party would
have had it's own candidate had Moran
not been it's choice, his showing as the
ticket would have been the worst in
the history of the party in that state.

The statement is frequently made
that President Roosevelt has disbanded
q whole battalion of colored soldiers
down in Texas. The use of the word
battalion in this connection is
erroneous, as in the same
sentence it will be found that only
three companies of enlisted men were
dishonorably discharged. Everybody
knows, or ought to know, that four
companies constitute a battalion of in
fantry, and every infantry regiment in
our army is made up Of three battal-
ions Of four companies each. The ne
gro people generally are much disturb

discharging these colored soldiers in
such a wholesale fashion, though of
course they have no defense to offer
for the conduct of the colored soldiers
