Tennessee Assurance.

In March, 1896. the sheriffs of the
territory which is now Tennessee took
a census Of their own, and as there
were 10000 citizens of proper age the
territory declared itself a state, pro-
ceeded to choose a governor, a con-
gresham and legislature, which Sc
lected two United States senators.
Congress, then in session in Philadel-
phia, had received no information re-
garding the action in the territory un-
til congressman and senators walked
In unlimited and announced that a
state had been born, had elected it's Of
flcers, made its laws and was running
on scheduled time. Congress was dis
concerted and notified the applicants
that the sheriff's census was irregular
and they must wait at least for an
invitation before they proceeded to sit
at the federal table. Upon second
thought congress decided to be courte-
Gus, and on June l admitted Tennes-
see, nearly three months after she had
become a state by her own action.
This state, whose coming into the I'm
Ion was little previous, was the
third state in the Union to provide a
president for the Union and the first
outside the original thirteen.

Standard Time.

Primarily for the convenience of the
railroad a standard of time was es.
tablished by mutual agreement in 1888
by which trains are run and local time
regulated. According to this system
the United States extending from s.
degrees to 125 degrees west longitude
is divided into four time sections. each
of Is degrees Of longitude, exactly
equivalent to one hour. The first least
ern) section includes all territory he.
tween the Atlantic coast and an ir-
regular line drawn from Detroit to
Charleston, S. c., the latter being its
most southern point. The second (cen-
trail section includes all the territory
between the last named line and an
Irregular line from Bismarck, n. D., to
the mouth of the Rio Grande The
third (mOuntain) section includes all
territory between the last named line
and nearly the western borders of Ida
no. Utah and Arizona The fourth pa
cific) section covers the rest Of the
country to the Pacific coast. Standard
time is uniform inside each of these
sections. and the time of each section
differs from that next to it by exactly
one hour. Thus at II o'clock noon in
New York city eastern time) the time
at Chicago Central time) is II O'clock

BIRTHS AND DEATHS
Health Officer Rains Makes Re-
port of Vital Statistics.

Births-males, Al; females, So;
total, 100. One pair of twins is re-
corded. Deaths, so. The death
rate of the city for the year 1907,
based on population of As, is ap-
proximately 9 per thousand. This
rate is the number of natural
deaths, death by violence and still
births having been eliminated.
There were four deaths from con-
sumption, one from tuberculosis
OF disease of the bowels, two from
cancer, three from typhoid fever,
four from pneumonia, two still
born, two deaths from accident, and
one suicide. There were nine
deaths of children under one year
Of age.
There was an unusually large
number Of deaths (l2) of those over
seventy years of age, which is the
main cause of the increase of the
death rate for 1907 over previous
years.
The city was very free from cpl
demic or contagious diseases, no
deaths having been reported from
scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria,
Group or smallpox.
