HUNGRY AND HOMELESS
THE CITIZENS OF BRAZORIA CO.
TEXAS. IN NEED.
Appeals Issued Through Mass Meeting
and by the Texas Relief
Fund Manager.

Rev. a. S. Fiske, pastor of Gunton-Tem-
pie Memorial Church, has taken much in
terest in the appeal for food and shelter
which has been made on behalf of the
starving and homeless people of Brazoria
county, Texas. The congregation, under
his direction has already made some sub
stantial response and would be glad to CO.
operate with the public in contributions of
clothing and the like In aid of the dis
tressed people.
A mass meeting of the BraZoria people
was held January at Angleton and an
appeal was issued.
The Conditions Set Forth.
1t was as follows:
Winter is hard upon us, and we have
nothing to keep our people from actual suf-
fering for the next three months Shelter
food and clothing must be forthcoming
from some source, and while we have thus
far refrained from making this appeal, we
now feel that it is our duty to do so, be-
licving that from the bounteous supplies of
money and clothing that are in this country
generous and hearty response will be
made.
"Our buildings are down and We are
without seed for planting or means TO re-
build our homes.
1.-The loss of life and property at Gal
weston was indeed appalling, and the APP
peals for help from that stricken city nave
been generously answered by the good peo-
pie all over the land. While We in Bra
zoria county have not suffered so severely
from loss of human life, yet In property
losses ours have been equally as great per
capita.
THE sad disaster in Galveston has so
shocked the world that it has oNershadoW-
ed the destruction on the mainland, ana
we now appeal TO generous puDHc 10
come to our assistance and enable our
people to remain and rebuild their ruined
homes and prepare for another crop.
There are in Brazoria county ABOUT
$1,000 people. engaged mostly in agricui-
tural pursuits. nearly all of whom nave
been left homeless and without means OF
support"
Aft H. H. Tolar was chairman OF the
meeting, and ]. W. Saxon secretary, ana a

DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATION.
Comm issiOners to Recommend Item
for Board of Charities.

for Board of Charities.
The board Of charities has recommended
to the District Commissioners that the
sum of $1,000, a deficiency in the appropria-
ton for the maintenance of the isolating
wards for minor contagious diseases at Car
field Hospital, for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1901, be included in the deficiency
bill and it is understood the Commissioners
will recommend the appropriation.
Mr. j. Ormond Wilson, secretary Of the
board of directors of the hospital, has ex-
planned to the Commissioners that the sum
of So 600 appropriated for the purpose at
the last session Of Congress will soon be
exhausted, and that as nearly as can be
estimated 5000 more will be required for
the maintenance Of these wards to the end
of the present fiscal year. Mr.. Wilson also
referred to the fact that although the board
of charities approved an estimate of $1,000
for such a purpose during the coming fiscal
year. the House allowed but $1,000. This
amount should, he says, be increased to

Writing Senator Mcmillan. chairman OF
the Senate District committee, relative to
Senator Daniels proposed amendment to
the pending District appropriation act ''for
grading and regulating Messmore street
from Erie street to Columbia road, $4,000"

For this reason they included only the
items for Columbia road and Erie street
