' The mortality among the colored is especially excessive among the children. For those 15 years of age and upward the death rate is greater among the children of Irish mothers than in any other class. This appears clearly in the following diagram, which shows for the colored and for the white, by birthplaces of mothers arranged in the order of the magnitude of their death rates, the relative death rates for those under 15 years and 15 years of age and ui)ward in Boston during the 6-year period : DIAGRAM A.

The death rate of the colored (31.25) is, as usual, greater than that of the white, being about the same as the death rate for the colored in Boston (31.92) and in Brooklyn (30.54), and a little lower than the corresponding rates in the District of Columbia (33.25) and in Baltimore (32.60). The death rate of the native white (25.17) is greater than that of any of the groups of foreign white, because the white born in the United States includes a larger number of young children than any of the other groups, and the only rates in this table which have any real significance are those for persons 15 years of age and upward, and even these are not fairly comparable. The following diagram shows a comparison of the rates for those 15 years of age and upward in Boston by birthplaces of mothers, and in Philadelphia by birthplaces of persons, the groups being arranged in the order of magnitude of the aggregate death rates in Boston : DIAGRAM 6 All Ages Rate BOSTON 20 15 10 3 1.92 23.7 1 OF MOTHEl 27.2 7 22.96 1 2 1.41 II 2 1.30 2 0.65 20.34 II 1 7.87 i 7.75 17.17 1 6.6 9 1 I 6.25 1 1 5.66 COLOR AND BIRTHPLACE COLORED WHITE BIRTHPLACE IRELAND BOHEMIA HUNGARY UNITED STATES (White) ITALY CANADA SCOTLAND ENGLAND AND WALES GERMANY lOTHER FOREIGN COUNTRIES SCANDINAVIA FRANCE It will be seen from this diagram that in a general way the differences in the death rates of those 15 years of age and upward of different races correspond, whether the classification be made by the birthplace of the mother of the decedent or by the birthplace of the decedent himself, but that nevertheless the order is a little different for the two methods. In either case the heavier death rates occur among the Irish, the natives, the English, Scotch, and Germans, while the lower death rates are found among the Bohemians, Hungarians, Scandinavians, and Italians. 16 VITAL STATISTICS.

This table shows that the death rate of children of Irish mothers was much greater than that of children of German mothers for both sexes, and especially for those between 15 and 45 years of age, being nearly double for the aggregate and more than double for the females. The chief causes of this difference are indicated in the death rates from consumption (Irish, 584.20 ; German, 299.84), pneumonia (Irish, 333.47 ; German, 138.02), inanition, debility, MON BOS 2 18 VITAL STATISTICS. and atrophy (Irisli, 138.12; German, 76.15), heart disease and dropsy (Irish, 208.42; Gorman, 133.26), and typhoid fever (Irish, 52.26; German, 28.56). The death rate of the children of German mothers was markedly greater than that of children of Irish mothers fromBright's disease (German, 42.83; Irish, 36.71), from childbirth and puerperal diseases (German, 72.46; Irish,, 27.15), and from suicide (German, 19.04; Irish, 8.71).

OCCUPATIONS. The influence of occupation as a special predisposing cause of sickness or death should be taken into consideration, when it is i^ossible to do so, in comparing the death rates of different localities. It is not at this time possible to give death rates for the several occupations, but something can be learned by comparing the proportion of deaths due to certain causes occurring among persons of different occupations. Table 103 shows the number of deaths in Boston and in Philadelphia during the G years ending May 31, 1890, among males engaged in certain occupations, with distinction of color, nativity, parental nativity, and of certain causes of death. 24 VITAL STATISTICS. Table 28 shows for males 15 years of age and upward engaged in certain occupations in Boston and Philadelphia during the 6 years ending May 31, 1890, the number dying and the number of deaths from certain causes per 1,000 deaths from all causes for each specified occupation.

A considerable proportion of the barbers and hairdressers were colored, and the majority of the draymen and hackmen were Irish. Consumption, caused a greater proportion of deaths among professional men in Philadelphia than it did in Boston. Typhoid fever caused a remarkably large proportion of deaths among bakers and confectioners in Philadelphia. Cancer caused more than the average proportion of deaths among clergymen, soldiers, and sailors. Heart disease caused more than the average proportion of deaths among physicians and policemen. Bright's disease and suicide caused an unusually large proportion of deaths among lawyers in Boston. Suicide was most frequent among saloon keepers and clerks in Philadelphia. Table 104 shows the number of deaths in Boston and in Philadelphia during the 6 years ending May 31, 1890, among females engaged in certain occupations, with distinction of color, nativity, parental nativity, and of certain causes of death. Table 29 shows for the females 15 years of age and upward engaged in certain occupations in Boston and Philadelphia during the 6 years ending May 31, 1890, the number dying and the number of deaths from certain causes per 1,000 deaths from all causes for each specified occupation.

It was most fatal among school teachers and dressmakers and seamstresses. The proportion of deaths from typhoid fever was higher among the laundresses in Boston than in Philadelphia and among the accountants and clerks in Philadelphia than in Boston. 26 VITAL STATISTICS. CAUSES OP DEATH. The relative influence of different causes of death in the production of differences in death rates is of much interest in connection with the mortality of different districts. Tables 76 and 77 show for Boston and Philadelphia the number of deaths which occurred from certain causes during the 6 years ending May 31, 1890,in each ward or sanitary district, and Tables 78 and 79 show the corresponding average annual death rates per 100,000 of population in each district. The relation of certain causes to the death rates in each ward or sanitary district for this period is given in the discussion of the characteristics of the several districts. Table 30 shows for the 6year period the average annual death rates in Boston and Philadelphia from certain causes pei^ 100,000 of mean population. Table 30. CAUSES OF DEATH.

In Boston the highest death rate for the 6-year period, 22.09, was in the districts having less than 50 persons to the acre ; and the lowest, 13.23, in those having from 50 to 100 persons to the acre, while it was 16.74 in those districts having 100 persons and upward to the acre. In Philadelphia the lowest death rate, 20.22, occurred, as is usually the case, in the least densely populated districts, namely, those having under 50 persons to the acre, while in those having from 50 to 100 persons to the acre the death rate was 22.40, and in those having 100 persons and over to the acre it was 23.81. In order to give some data for estimating the influence of density of population, vicinity of parks and open spaces, character of habitations, and other local peculiarities upon the death rates of the different localities and upon the death rates due to particular forms of disease, the following topographical descriptions of the two cities and of each ward and sanitary district therein are appended. BOSTON. Boston is situated on Boston harbor, in latitude 42° 21 ' north, longitude 71° 4' west from Greenwich. The elevations range from sea level to 335 feet above. A large part of the present city was originally marsb land, at about the level of high tide, which had been filled with clean gravel or with ashes and other refuse of a large city to a height of 6 or 8 feet. The extensions of the shore line of the old city were made by cutting down some of the higher natural elevations. The total area within the city limits, which extended to the harbor lines, was 27,596 acres. This included 3,365 acres of water surface, which will be excluded in stating the areas of each ward and sanitary district. Exclusive of water surface there were 24,231 acres, and the population on June 1, 1890, was 448,477, giving an- average of 18.51 persons to each acre of land area. The actual building area, however, was much less, there being 1,130 acres embraced in parks, 613 acres in cemeteries, and 87 acres in the navy yard. Excluding these areas, the remainder is found to be 22,401 acres, and the population density rises to 20.02 persons to the acre. The area covered by streets and alleys was not computed. There are great differences in the density of population in different parts of the city, and the corresponding- figures for these will be shown iu certain of the tables presented as well as in the description of the sanitary districts into which the city was divided. At the close of the census year, June 1, 1890, the number of dwelUngs in the city was 52,669, containing 89,716' families, with an average of 5.00 persons to each family and 8.52 persons to each dwelling. To obtain some data with regard to the relations between local sanitary conditions and death rates, the city- was subdivided within ward lines into sanitary districts, the boundaries of which are indicated upon the maps by dotted lines, while the ward boundaries are indicated by heavierlines of solid color. The chai'acteristics of the several sanitary districts are shown in the description given below, which were prepared by Dr. Samuel H. Durgin, of the board of health. These notes relate to the period for which the deaths were returned and not to the present time. The statements are purely historical, and are intended to furnish the- means of estimating the relations of altitude, character of people, and nature of surroundings to the death rates during the years ending May 31, 1S90. In the small tables given for each sanitary district the statement showing the death rates per 1,000 of white population is exclusive of stillbirths, while the rates given according to birthplaces of mothers include stillbirths. Eates given for mothers born in " Other foreign countries " refer to all foreign countries not specified in Table 97. The statements concerning highest and lowest rates according to birthplaces of mothers refer only to those birthplaces given in the comparative tables in which the numbers of population and of deaths are of sufBcient size to wairaut comparison. WARD 1. This ward, including Breeds island, contained 1,256 acres, 2,651 dwellings, and a total population of 19,633. There were 86 acres of x^arking and 10 acres of cemeteries, excluding which, there was an average density of 16.93 persons and 2.29 dwellings to the acre, with 7.41 persons to each dwelling. The ward was divided into 2 districts. Sanitary district A.— Bounded by Chelsea creek, Boston harbor, Porter, Bremen, Putnam, Lamson, Swift, and Bennington streets, Central square, Border street, and boundary line between First and Second wards from Border street to Mystic river. Area, 1,121 acres; park area, 86 acres; cemetery area, 10 acres; population, 12,441, giving an average of 12.14 persons to each acre of area, exclusive of parks and cemeteries. This was principally high land, having fairly good sewers tidelocked at high tide. The houses were mostly frame, occupied by people of from poor to well-to-do condition. 59 (60 VITAL STATISTICS.

For those 15 years of age and upward it was higliest .-among those whose mothers were born in Ireland, being 18.17 as against 17.30 for those whose mothers were born in Scotland and li).23 for those whose mothers were born in the United States. Scarlet fever and whooping cough caused more than the average proportion of deaths. The death rates from •cancer and tumor and from old age were also somewhat above the average. Sanitaet district B. — Bounded by Bennington, Swift, Lamson, Putnam, Bremen, and Porter streets. Area, 135 acres ^population, 7,192, giving an average of ,53.27 persons to each acre of area. There was much low laud in this district; some was marshy, and a considerable portion Lad been filled and Tjuilt up with frame dwellings and stores occupied principally by poor people. The drainage was poor. The seastern part of the district contained some dwellings of a better class.

Diarrheal diseases caused more than the average proportion of deaths. WARD 2. This ward contained 263 acres, 1,816 dwellings, and a total population of 17,297. There were 2 acres of parking, exclusive of which there was an average density of 66.27 persons and 6.96 dwellings to the acre, with 9.52 persons to each dwelling. This ward was divided into 2 districts. Sanitary district A. — Bounded by the boundary line between First and Second wards, beginning at Mystic river. Border street.

For those 15 years of age and upward whose mothers were born in the United States it was but little more than one-half of the average city rate. It was decidedly above the city rate for those under 15 years of age whose mothers were born iu Ireland and in Germany. Cancer and tumor, childbirth and puerperal diseases, and diseases of the liver caused more than the average proportion of deaths. Sanitary district B. — Bounded by Francis and Tremont streets, Boston and Providence railroad. Centre a,nd Perkins streets, and Longwood stream. Area, 446 acres; park, 76 acres; population, 8,128, giving an average of 21.97 persons to each acre of area, exclusive of parks.

NY PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia, in latitude 39° 57' north, longitude 75° 9' west ft-ora Greenwich, is situated at the juaction of the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, in the extreme eastern part of the state of Pennsylvania. On June 1, 1890, it contained 129.38 square miles, or 82,807 acres. Of this area 108 square miles, or 69,120 acres, lay between the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, north of their junction, and 21.38 square miles, or 13,687 acres, lay west of the Schuylkill. The United States navy yard was located on League island, at the junction of the two rivers. About 4 square miles of the sotitheru portion of the city, known as "The ^eck", was partially below tide and was occupied principally by truck farms. JSToith and west of The Neck the elevation increased, the summit between the two rivers lying near the Schuylkill river along Ridge avenue to Laurel Hill cemetery, and along- Germantown jivenue in the village of Germantown. The surface slopes to the northwest, the elevations at some of the principal ]3oints being as follows: city hall,, 49 feet; Frankford, 35 to 60 feet; Holmesburg, 80 feet; Bustleton, 126 feet; JSTicetown, 130 feet; Olney, 135 feet;. Volunteertown, 159 feet; Crescentville, 216 feet; Branchtown, 226 feet; Fox Chase, 240 feet; Pittsville, 263 feet; Germantown, 300 feet; Manayunk and Eoxboro, 310 feet; Mount Airy, 370 feet; Chestnut Hill, 446 feet. The northwestern section was rolling, with many abrupt changes in level, and traversed by numerous creeks and small streams. The Wissahickon creek was in a narrow rocky gorge, and the banks of the Schuylkill above Fairmount were rocky bluffs. Of the entire area, about 40 square miles, or some 26,000 acres, was strictly urban territory, about 50 square miles, or some 32,000 acres, was suburban land containinginany villages and undergoing city improvements, and about 40 square miles, or some 25,000 acres, was farm land. The city had, on June 1, 1890, a total area of 82,807 acres and a total population of 1,046,964, the number of persons to each acre of total area being 12.04. The city records do not afford information as to the area of all open spaces in each ward from which the density of population to the acre of actual building area could be computed. The park and cemetery area has been furnished, and shows an aggregate of 4,230 acres within the city limits devoted to parks and cemeteries, leaving 78,577 acres occupied by streets and buildings; excluding the parks and cemeteries, the population density rises to 13.32 per acre. The total number of dwellings in the city was 187,052, containing 205,135 families, and a total population of 1,046,964, giving an average of 5.10 persons to a family and 5.00 persons to a dwelling. SANITAEY DISTRICTS. For the purpose of studying the local sanitary conditions the death rates in the city have been computed separately for wards, each ward being treated as a sanitary district. The ward boundaries are indicated upon the accompanying maps by lines of solid color. In the small tables given for each ward the statement showing the death rates per 1,000 of population is exclusive of stillbirths, while the rates given according to birthplaces of persons include stillbirths. It is to be distinctly understood that in these descriptions the remarks about the character of the buildings and the inhabitants of the several districts apply to the period for which the deaths were returned and uot to the present time. The statements are purely historical and are intended to furnish the means of estimating the relations of altitude character of people, and the nature of the surroundings, and while no doubt many of the conditions referred to still exist, yet numerous changes have occurred which might modify the characteristics of the districts as given herein. " The descriptions of the districts referred to were furnished by Dr. William H. Ford, president of the board of health. The statements concerning the highest and lowest rates according to birthplace refer only to those birthplaces given in the comparative tables in which the number of population and of deaths are of sufficient size to warrant comparison. X7 88 VITAL STATISTICS. WARD 1. This ward contained 3,526 acres, 10,455 Swellings, and a total population of 53,882. Excluding 13 acres of parks and cemeteries, there were 15.34 persons and 2.98 dwellings to each acre. There were 5.15 persons to each dwelling. It was to a large extent farm land, and embraced what is known as "The Neck" or point of land bounded on the east and south by the Delaware river. This ward had a large and valuable river front, on which were located some of the most extensive manufacturing works, notably sugar refineries, fertilizing works, salt works, and coal shipping wharves of the railroads. The League Island navy yard was partially situated in this ward. The inhabitants may be divided into 3 classes. The farm lands (principally truck farms) were owned and tilled by families native to the place. The eastern section was peopled by foreigners engaged principally as laborers along the wharves. The northern and residential section was principally occupied by natives of this country. Building improvements were made rapidly, consisting generally of brick dwellings of medium size. The Woman's hospital was in this ward. The death rates in this ward, compared with the average rates for the city, were as follows : AREAS. DEATH RATES PER 1,000 POPULATION. White. Colored. Total.

For those 15 years of age and upward it was above the average for those born in Ireland and below it for those born in the United States and in Germany. Scarlet fever, malarial fever, diphtheria and croup, heart disease and dropsy, diseases of the liver, and diseases of the nervous system caused more than the average proportion of deaths. WARD 2. This ward contained 283 acres, 5,205 dwellings, and a total population of 31,563. Excluding 10 acres of parks and cemeteries, there were 115.62 persons and 19.07 dwellings to each acre. There were 6.06 persons to each dwelling. This ward covered one of the oldest sections of the city. It was small and compact, the dwellings built of brick, generally old, but well kept. Numerous small streets, courts, and alleyways still existed. Many of the inhabitants were poor working x>eople. A large section, probably one-fourth of the territory, was peopled by Italians of the lower class, principally engaged as musicians, fruit venders, and laborers. On the river front of this ward were extensive wharves of steamship lines, also an extensive freight yard and a grain elevator.

A number of old frame buildings still remained in this quarter, and, as in other of the older sections of the city, several courts, alleys, and small streets still existed. The population was a mixed one, in which Russian and Polish Jews and Italians predominated. The locality had ceased to be a desirable one for the middle or better class of people to reside in, although one of the finest public libraries was located at the western end of the ward. There were but few industrial works in this ward; the foreign population were engaged in clothing establishments, peddling, and manual labor.

Perhaps more filth and squalor existed in this ward than in any other. Here was located a portion of the district formerly designated as the "slums", and atone time peopled by the lowest and vilest characters that congregate in a large city. Small streets, courts, and alleys extended throughput the ward. No flue residences were found in the ward; old style 2 and 3 story brick buildings predominated, with numerous dilapidated frame houses. On the river front were 2 extensive sugar refineries and a warehouse. Italians, Huns, Eussians, and Polish Jews had gradually occupied this section until the original character of the population had almost entirely changed. The foreign element was principally laborers, peddlers, rag pickers, or engaged in other kindred pursuits. The Italians were generally thrifty and saving^ investing mostly in real estate.
