The Colored Population Statistics

Baltimore ranks fourth among the
Americas cities in number of its ne
gro population. Washington, New
DIRK and New Orleans have more
backs within their corporate boundar-
les than the Maryland city, with the
national capital heading the list.
Maryland is one of the II States
whose negro population is decreasing
through migration.
The Census Bureau bulletin on "Ne-
groes in the United States" which
was made public recently. shows that
in 1910 there We're 1927, 1853 negroes
in this country, an increase of IL per
cent. since 1900. Washington has the
largest negro population, with 94,446.
New York being next with 91,709.
New Orleans third, with 89,262, Bal
timore fourth, with S4,749, and Phila-
delphia fifth, with 84,459.
The bulletin also shows that the
negroes are manifesting an increasing
tendency toward home ownership and
attend schools in larger numbers, with
a marked degree in illiteracy and in
mortality rate, and in increase in the
proportion of church membership.
Georgia, with 1,l76,987 negroes. has
the largest black population of any
State; Mississippi is second with L.

negro blood, the remainder being
classed as mulattoes.
Mississippi and South Carolina have
more negroes than whites, the ~er-
cent being 56 and 50 per cent,
respectively with 40 per cent in Geor-
gia, 43 per cent in Louisiana, AZ per

of the occult; Frank Holt says he was
told by God to force Morgan to cease
extending loans to the allies and thus
prolonging the war. Muenter was rel
garded as eccentric by his friends and
associates; Holt was regarded as &C.
centric by his friends.
Muenter believed that immortality
lay in the power of the human will;
he presented theories that woman
was of soul infeTiOTity to man; and
it is believed he poisoned his wife, let
ting her die by inches, in order that
he might watch her astral self leaV=
ing the body.
Mrs. Muenter died on April Is,
1906, unattended by any physician
throughout her illness, and upon her
death MUenteT appealed to a friend
for a certificate of death. The friend
became suspicious and removed the
stomach from the body and when
MUenter brought the body in such
haste to Chicago and had it cremated
an investigation was made Of the
stomach and it was found to contain
arsenic
A cOroner's jury rendered a verdict
of death by arseniCal poisoning and
formally charged Muenter with MUIR
der. He was found to have disappear
ed from Chicago and though a re-
ward of 81, 900 was offered for his ar
rest he was never found.
The earliest record that has been
found of Frank Holt is in September,
1906, when he appeared in Guthrie
Okla, and applied to the school aU.

GIencoVe, N. Y, July Crank
Holt, the university professor who
shot J. P. Morgan Saturday, is on
the verge of a complete collapse, due,
it is declared, to the strenuous third
degree to which he has been subject
ed and the wound in his head made
by Morgan's butler with a shovel at
the time of the shooting. Holt has
said he will reveal in open court his
motive in attempting the life of the
financier and his placing of the bomb
in the capitol at Washington.
He will also tell where he pUrchas-
ed the dynamite found on him, &C
COrding to Dr. Guy CleghOrn, the jail
physician, who says, however, that
owing to Hollis condition it is hardly
probable he will be able to appear in
court tomorrow.
Morgan spent a restfUl day yester-
day and bulletins issued from his
home declared his condition imprOV-
ing.
The attempt to connect Frank
Holt with Erich MUenter, wife muir
derer in 1906, is meeting considerable
success. Erich Muenter who disap-
peared in April, 1906, Immediately
following the discovery that his wife,
whose body had been cremated at his
request, had died of arsenicaI pois-
Oning, was at that time an instructor
and student of German phiIology in
Harvard university. Frank Holt was
a German instructor at Cornell and
other universities.

so did the noise. then sent mes

FEW NOW DIE OF OLD AGE.
Why This Is So and Why the Patri-
archs Lived So Long.


Scientists who see today how few
people live to be 100 years old find
themselves at a loss to explain how
Methuselah managed to live 969 years.
while Noah reached the respectable age
of 595 years. Recently, however.
discovery has been made which helps
to explain this mystery.
When the causes of short life now
adays are counted up it is found that
most of the deaths are due to disease.
Very few people die from old age. And
the reason why people die from any
one disease is that they have been
weakened by other illnesses which they
have had or which have been handed
down to them by their ancestors. For
example. one widespread social scourge
which weakens the constitution Of
many men and women today was PROB
ably unknown in primitive times,
To some Of these diseases the hu-
man race has become so accustomed
that it is immune. Measles will kill of
whole Indian tribe, but among the
white races it is only an annoying
childhood malady. But the variations
Of disease increase far more rapidly
than the immunity.
Noah and the patriarchs didn't have
nearly as many different kinds of dis
eases to face because they hadn't had
enough ancestors to hand them down
a variety. Consequently their consti-
tutions were not constantly being
weakened as are ours today. For ex-
ample. there is no reference in very
ancient literatures to cold in the
bead. The Greeks and Romans seem
to have been the first peoples to suf-
fer from it.
The real reason why Gae patriaDAs
lived longer than we do now wag wt-
cause in those days the fount c4f 70
manity was fresher. While immunity
to certain diseases has been handed
down to us by our parents, we have
also received the weakened vitality
which was theirs as result Of their
fight against disease. Sooner or later
the race will become immune to tuber-
culosis, but with that immunity will
come the diminished power as result
of mankind's long fight against the
white plague.-Washington Post

FIRE RISKS ON FARMS.
Safety First Should Be as Much the
Rule There as Elsewhere.


Rule There as Elsewhere.
A contributor to Farm and Fireside
shows how appalling fire risks are on
farms. He tells how to reduce some
Of these fire risks and writes in part
as follows:
1.-THE inveterate smoker is about as
dangerous AS walking stick Of dyna-
mite. It makes me shudder to see a
man smoking around the farm build
ings. One man I know never will for
get the way he was run of the farm
when caught him smoking ciga-
rette while stacking hay.
Another dangerous practice Of which
the average man is guilty is that of
carrying ordinary matches loose in his
pockets. He should carry either safe
ty matches or keep the ordinary kind
in metal box.
"On most farms the lantern is still
the usual light for working about the
buildings after dark. A good way to
keep it clean and safe is. first, to take
out the burners and clean them by
boiling in strong soapsuds. This will
keep the ventilating passages of the
burner working properly. Then wipe
all leaking or spilled Oil off the base.
'Never set lantern down. Either
hold it or hang it up. Then when it is
accidentally struck it will swing in,
stead of upsetting.

Health For canaries.

Even a canary must be cared for ju-
dicieusly if its life is to be happy.
Regular exercise outside its cage is de-
sirable, if its owner has time to look
after this exercise. A scrupulously
clean cage. fresh water and seed every
day, greens of some sort-lettuce, eel
cry, plantain-once or twice a week,
and enforced abstinence from sugar,
sweet biscuits and other odds and
ends that are often fed to birds-these
details insure health and, therefore,
happiness to the Gagged bird, Perhaps
the fact that it is Gagged, that it has SO
few ways of making its wants known,
should make its owner more careful
of it's health than she would be even OF
the health of a dog or cat--New York
