that since Uncle Joe turned plutocrat the

the purchase of the Dallas County farm is
that 1t will make Mr.. Bailey a citizen of

P,ntt n Very Sick Mnn.-Reports
from New York indicate that the Hon.
Thomas Collier Plat is very sick man.
A friend of the Senator, who met him at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel a few days ago.
told Times representative yesterday that
Mr.. Plat is in a much more seriouS condi-
ton than his family or his physicians will
admit. He fractured small rib about
ten days ago while preparing to attend
the Philadelphia Convention. 1t was In
his office, ard Senator DeDew was with
him at the time. Mr.. Platt did not then
complain much Of the pain. and without
consulting doctor he went to Philadelphia
He had been there only q few hours when
his agony became so great that he had to
call upon the house surgeon OF the Wal
ton Hotel for relief 1t YVES not until then
that Mr.. Plat learned that he was suffer
ing from fractured rib. The physician
advised him to take no active part in
the ante-conveEtion proceedings or
in the Convention itself, but this
advice was ignored. and Mr.. Plat
worked fifteen to eighteen hours day
until through the sheer exhaustion Of
strength he had to give UP and return to
New York This however. was not until
he had accomplished everything he had
gone to. Philadelphia to accomplish. He
has been confined to his bed most of the
time since his return to New York, and
has received few callers. When he left
Philadelphia the day before the Convention
adjourned it was freely predicted by many
people who know him well that Mr.. Platt
would never again be a well man. The i'm
provement is his condition since then has
not been such as to wholly disprove these
predictions. Senator Plat is nearly 6S
years old. and it is feared that tie terrible
shock to his nervous system inflicted by
the fracturng of the rib and it's long neg
lect will run his vitality down to such
low point that even IL he survives he Will
never be tirnseif again.

were here this week. Prof. Ste
phens, president elect'of the insti-
tuition was here also. The main
purpose of the committees meet
ing was to consider the propcsi-
ton to select q site two or three
acres from the one originally cho-
sen. We are informed that the
committee has decided to accept
the new site which is considerably
nearer town. It is a part of the
property of Mrs. NJ. A. Girard and
Mr.. Grow Girard, who are perfect
ly willing that the change be made
if it is the desire of the authori-
ties intrusted with the affairs OF
the school. When change was
first proposed We were inclined to
doubt the wisdom of such a move,
but after visiting the two sites and
considering the advantages of each
We were soon convinced of the su-
periority of the second site over
the one first offered. We arr
therefore of the opinion that the
decision of the committee is emf
nently proper and calculated to
rebound to the welfare of the
school.
We understand that q meeting
of the Board will soon be called
and measures will be taken look
ing to the early commencement of
the buildings. 1t is the intention
to put up the main building at g
cost of about S35, 900. There are
only $4,000 Of available cash at
this time, but the Legislature will
be called upon to make up the diff.
ference. The main building q,
Ruston cost $4,000. It is believ-
ed that the laying of the corner.
stone will take place sometime in
April and then the work will &c
on az rapidly as possible. 1t il
the intention of President Step.
hens to have everything in readi'
ness for the opening of the nex'
scholastic year.
Owing to the absence from thif
State of Gov. Foster, who has gone
to West Point Miss, to visit 6
sick daughter, the Board may not
| meet this week as was intended by
the executive committee.
Prof. Stephens has just return
ed from an extensive tour during
| which he visited several industrial
| institutions in search of informs
ton which will be of great help tt
him in the preparation of hi

Prof. Stephens speaks interest
ingly of the work which is being
done in the various institution
which he recently visited. He wal
accompanied in his trip by thu
well-known New Orleans architect
Mr.. Favrot, who visited this place
q couple of months ago. Mr.. Fav
rot went along with the professor
to thoroughly familiarize himsel
with the best and most modern
plans of constructing industrial
colleges.
Prof. Stepens expressed himsel
as being very favorably impressed
with the local outlook. To So,
that he was pleased with this towl
and the many evidences of goot
feeling for the institution noticea
bic on every hand is to express i
mildly.
