THE A. AND M. COLLEGE
QUARANTINE AGAINST THE EARTH
AND ALL THE PLANETS.
RELIEF Felt When the Embargo Was
Raised-Recruits Familiar With
Military Duties.

College station, Texas, OCTOBER 2.-ManV
peculiar conditions have prevailed at the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical college
the past week. produced by the recent yell
low fever scare and consequent ouaran-
tine regulations established by the health
officers of Brazos county. AT the incep-
ton only those from Individually infected
points were denied admission. This or
der was then expanded to the extent that
all travellers seeking entrance must procure
clean bills OF health. The announcement
OF suspicious case ut Houston resulted
in rigid quarantine being declared
against the earth. sun, moon and stars.
and strict embargo was placed upon pas
sengers, mail, freight and express. The
conditions imposed by this proclamation
have now, however, been modified and
once more college enjoys communication
and Intercourse with the outside world.
Yesterday. for the first time In three DAYS
our mail service was resumed. and the
back numbers OF The Post. whose daily
visitations were sadly missed. arrived and
were eagerly seized and perused with avid
ity. At no time has much excitement or
fear at the yellow fever situation been
manifested. but what little obtained has
now completely subsidized and the daily
routine is being uninterruptedly observed
The greatest Inconvenience of the quar-
antine was experienced by the contractors
who are now engaged in constructing the
new mess hall and dwelling. as only a
small supply OF material was on hand and
the rapid exhaustion OF this and impossi-
plllly TO secure more necessitated Drac-
tically suspension Of operations.
