DEATH RATE DEcREAsED.
The ci'y 'Deessr says rroAibisios Did

Ts
 Birmineham. Feb. 1e--tspeciaI.,--The annual report for 1908 of the Health Depart ment of Birmingham. has just been made public by City Health Officer R. B. Hark-- ness.
 The report declares that prohibition re- duced the death rate of the city considera- biy. The first few paragraphs Of the re- port read as follows:
 ''The health of Blrmingharn's citizens has been exceptionally good during the year. In spite of the fact that our books show list of somethins over one hundred deaths occurring in the last six months of the year. our total of deaths for the year shows most gratifying decrease as com pared with last year. This decrease is most noticeable as regards deaths from all forms of violence. although there is some pal causes of death. except intestinal disor. ders occurring among infanta.
 "That prohibition has been the greatest factor in reducing our death rate. no ono looking over the figures would for mo- nient doubt. What other factors have worked toward the same end. offers much ground for speculation. There are many causes known and unknown that mako for the good or iii of public health con- ditions and while every member of the health department has striven to make the work of the department more efficient than ev- CT, we would carexuliy avoid Arfo8atin6 70 ourselves any undue credit for the very gratifying shosing made by our city for the past year.
 "In cumming up the years work, one dis. coura ginR feature biots our record; this 6 seen in the failure to decrease the infant mortality from summer diarrhcea. Although general health conditions were certainly bet ter than for several years, more chiIdFss died from summer bowel complaint than f0I several years past"
 The report shows 7so births during ths year among the whites and 4l3 among tho negroes. There were 13l deaths by violence accidental and not under other heads. The total deaths went to 1.ios. of which kI7 were among the white people.

 He arrived In the city about . o'clock yesterday morning. and though the hour ues a bit early. there were plenty of Democrats on hand to meet hin-. Ai- most immediately he went up to the Capitol, ,to pay his respects to Governor Conner. The Rubsrnatoriai rooms were packed with oficfals. employed through out the building. who streamed in the moment that they heard of Mir. Bryan's arrival in large open car riage.
 The commoner was warmly greeted as he entered the Governors ohee. He immediately shook hands with all who were gathered there and held sn in- formal reception. with the States ex- ecutive doing chief honorE The great leader made no attempt at speech. making; contentin9 himself instead with lively conversation with all wno were present.
 After the reception was over Mr. Bryan was escorted through the capi- toi by Governor Conner and pr. Thomas N. owen. As he passed out of the main doorway he stood for . momeaf with head uncovered and in silence. gazed at the star which marks the spot where stood the great Jefferson Dsvis. during his inauguration as President of the Confoderacy.
 The visit to the Capitol lasted about an hour in ell. As soon as it was over Mir. Bryan was driven rapidly. to the Union depot where he once more start cd on his way to St Louis.
 Directly before leaving the Capitol. Mr. Bryan was invited by Prof. J. M. Starke, of the University School. to address his cadets. Prof. starke told him that the boys were eager for . viait as they had long looked up to him as their hero in life. Therescould have been little doubt of thiss in the Nebraskan's mind after he had made a speech. for no football team. trotting out onto a gridiron ever received . more lusty demonstration of yeils. bugie calls and hand-clapping than did he as he resumed his seat
 When Mir. Bryan returned to the de- pot he, spoke of the report of his hav- ing been injured In Jacksonville.
 "Nothing could he more absurd" said he. "I am in perfect health and can not imagine the Inspiration for such story as was sent out to the newspapers"
 Indeed, a most careful observer could not have found any difsrencA between the Mir. Bryan of yesterday and the Mir. Bryan of week ago. except he looked . little warmer in his great ieece-Iined overcoat.
 He thanked nearly all of the more active politicians who are employed at the State house for the splendid eff forts that made to elect him last fall.
 As he was shaking hands with them. one remarked. Thank you, Colonel"
 Mir. Bryan beansd genuine. twen- ty-two carat campaign smile.
