President George II Denny. OF Wash

an open letter in regard to the published
reports concerning the existence OF ty.

Gays:
The town OF Lexington has an eseva-
ton OF 100 feet above sea level. and IS
noted for It's healthful and inyigoratiDg
climate. It Is abundanty supplied with
pure water flowing directly into the town
pipes from mountain springs several
miles distant and its natural drainage Is
perfect The existing system OF sewerage
Is perhaps better than that Of any other
town In Virginia OF equal size. In an
area OF one square mile there are approx
tmately eight miles OF sewer pipes The
air IS pure, healthful and invigorating,
and the weather generally fair and mild.
IN addition to these points OF advantage
there Ia an exceptionally competent
Board OF Health.
The average ANNALS death rate. esti-
mated for four years and taken from the
official records was four whites and six
negroes In each thousand inhaitants!
From twenty TO thirty per thousand rs,

During the early portion Of October
there wcro developed number OF cases
OF typhoid fever, and Il was deemed
proper that the town authorities should
take expeditions action to check It.. These
gentlemen were fully equal TO the coca.

most expert American authorities to ex-
anime the situation and correct the evil.
That the situation was anything like
so serious as reported must be denied.
The cases OF fever have been, with very
rare exceptions. Of the mlldest type: and
In population OF over 400. only one

COLLEGE TO PLAY
WILLIAM AND MARY
! Rafting Football Game i
Expected at Broad-Street
Park Tomorrow.

The Richmond College team had hard
practice against the second team yester-
day. The second team was strengthened
BY several OF the first squad and gave
the college q good fight, at one time car
rying the bal from their own forty.yard
line to ths colleges twenty-five yard
mark, on fierce line bucks by Kenney.
Rollins and Bowen, but there they lost
tho ball on tumble, and Captain Smiths
trusty toe undid ali their hard work.
Richmond College has been working
along fixed lines this year, the plan being
t. have the team at its greatest strength
tor the final game With Randolph Macon.
Everything else has been sacrificed to
accomplish this. and IL Richmond wins
on the 21st all hands will be satisfied.
A comparison OF scores made by the two
teams is slightly IN Richmond's favor,
but this will be Offset by the fact, that
the Ashland team has been entirely re-
organized, and since then has played q
constantly Improving game. as was shown
conclusiyely by their game With Column
hlan University.
After the game tho Washingtonians
were divided In opinion as to the proba-
bic winner. for they claimed that. by
getting some fresh men down from the
capital they had strengthened their team
10 much that they could have beaten
Richmond by large score than their
paltry to 0 against Randolph Macon:
IN this game the remarkable feature
was the strong brace taken BY Ashland

their heavier opponents goal the wnole

tomorrow Richmond College will line
up against William and Mary. and the
critics are going there to Size up their
play ana compare them with the Ash
land boys, who played the same team
two weeks ago.
The William and Mary boys. with char
scteristic pluck, have strengthened them.
selves, and declare they proposed to let
no team have walkover with them,
Their defeat by Randolph-Macon oio
them a world OF good, for several old
players who would not train before, have
since come out.
Since that game they have not played
regular match, but have spent all their
time In hard practice In preparation Tor
