BRYAN PEOPLES EXPRESSIONS
Regarding the Giee Clubs coneer, Last
Tuesday Nlght.

The Eagle has already given ed
itorial expression Of the excellence
OF the A. q VI. Giee Club concert
Tuesday night, and believes that in
Justice 10 the director ard the club,
that some OF the very hearty CON-
pliments passed by members Of the
audiences might well be quoted. The
people Of Bryan expected something
good OF the concert, but were taken
a little by surprise 20 find that IL
was one OF the very finest attractions
that has been to Bryan, regardless
OF price.
(of Allen AcadeDsS pronounced II
an attraction that tSey have rarely
known surpassed.
Prof. T. 3. Mintet superintendent
of the graded schoo said as much
as Prof Allen did nd added that
aside from ITS general merit, the pro-
gram contained some Of the most
striking and effective minor features
that he ever witnessed and heard,
taking the house by storm.
Mrs. Edward Hall was delighted
with the entertainment from begin
ming 20 end, aud pleaded guilty Of
being one OF the audience that
helped 10 make the prolonged and
insistent eucores.
Mrs. Tyler Haswell said that she
was so delighted with the entertain
ment throughout that her praise Of
Il could only be expressed Ia seem
ingly extrayagant terms. Mr.. Has
we'll thinks that the excellent train
ing speaks eloqnently for the work
OF the director, Professor Junkin.
"Valse Heroique," Mrs. Johnstons
piano selection, she AYERS, was not
only a happy selection for the occa-
sion. but was rendered in a way that
stamps the performer mistress Of
the piano forte. Mrs. Haswell was
not alone in praise Of Mrs. Johns
tons number, almost everyone who
spoke Of II referring 10 II with praise.
To repeat all the fine things said
of Prof. Junkin as a director, of the
wonderfully sweet voice of Mr.. Lane,
and the exquisite violin numbers by
Mr., Mayer. might be considered in
vidiOus distinction, so well did all
the club members do their parts,
and SO excellent are the voices Of
all. SO nothing further will be said
OF individual members. In fact, II
there is a poor voice In the glee
club. or a participant whose work
might not be called superb, the large
audience OF Bryan people failed TO
find II out.
~. yvftI ctosa this co,nnanf he
quoting Mr.. q. NJ. Brandon, who
said that II our opera house manage
ment will insure their one dollar
shows 20 be anything nearly so good
AS the Glee Club concert, they will
always have good houses.
The only people in Bryan who feel
bad about the Glee Club concert are
those who did not attend and have
since been hearing the universal
praise.

There is an epidemic of TYPHOID
fever in Philadelphia and one in
Washington. More than fifty per-
sons died in one day of the disease
in Philadelphia recently, yet there
is not much said about it, or but
little attention is paid to it. Ty-
hold is possibly more fatal than
yellow fever, and where there is
an epidemic of it there is more
chance for the average citizen,
however careful he may be, to take
it. The per cent of death in New
Orleans, SO far, has been about 20.
The per cent of deaths in TYPHOID

Monday morning two negroes
were stopped by the quarantine
guard at the canal bridge for their
certificates, which they did not
have, they were told that they
could not get in until they would
satisfy tho Chief of Police of their
whereabouts. Th ey saw that the
guard was unarmed, and made a
display of their insolence by in-
sultiug the guard and whipping
their horse and came in town, the
guard Immediately notified the
Police who arrested aud jailed
them. In the evening they ap-
peared before the Mayors Court
and were fined S5 each. This will
serve as a lesson to others to re-
spect the guards who are perform
