Still the New York death rate is not bad, because if it continues live to be over fifty than will die under fifty. Five males died to every four women, which is all the more re- | markable because 18,821 widows died and only 9,387 widowers, Since | as many women as men must marry, the death rate among married men must be considerably higher than among married women. | Excluding babies under one year of age, of whom 26,503 died, the| greatest number of people dying in any twent more people wil sixty to eighty years. As to the causes of death, one of the highest is from violence, | 9,153, Of these 321 were murdered, 1,506 committed suicide, 1,009 were drowned, 1,158 were killed by railroad accidents, 395 from in- haling gas and hundreds of others from accidental poisoning, burns | and scalds, electric shock, injuries from horses, The suicides pre- ferred shooting. Heat and sunstroke killed 117, cold and freezing 42, and 15 died from starvation and privation. Of all diseases, tuberculosis killed the most, 26 monia bringing the total to more than 40,000, died; from Bright's disease, 8,468; apoplexy, 6,157; heart disease, wv Yo th All Cour One Yea But the low mortality in Queens was high com- death rate of less than one in a hundred in Babylon and Freeport, where, unless the death rate changes, half the popula- 3 old. and County was lower still, entitling its inhabitants 11,884, and from old age only 2,502. A child stands four times as many chances of being killed by| violence as of dying from old age. As against this record of deaths, it should be said that the births were 203,159, while the deaths were only 138,441, and that although | 12,561 more men than women died, 6,823 more boys than girls were born. At this rate, although there are more boy than girl babies, there will be an increasing majority of women over men. girls seem to have more vitality than boys. After the age of fifty, women’s chances of living are better than men’s. The higher female mortality comes between the ages of twenty and fifty.
