To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:
l understand it is told in Bryan that
saw the case of Mr.. David Tucker
and pronounced that it was not a case
of meningitis. l have not been in
Bryan since January %, or since the
time MIR. Tucker became i'll, and to
my knowledge never saw Mr.. Tucker
in my life Saturday, January 27,
there were two rumors afioat here at
College, one that Mr.. Tucker had men
ingitis, the other that he had cramp
collie; and as had an agreement with
DIR. Sims, the health officer, to. report
any case of meningitis to me as soon
as it developed ! naturally believed at
that time it was not meningitis, as l
had no report from DR.. Sims. About
6 D. m. Saturday DR.. Sims reported
the case as meningitis to me. Since
that time considered it a case of
meningitis and so stated to everyone,
as l consider DR.. Sims and DR.. Oliver
fully competent to judge the case.

WITNESS ILL IN
sNEED CASE
Young Throckmorton, Who Saw Shoot.
Ing, Near Deaths Door.
IBy Associated Press.]

=
Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 31.-Ed-
ward Throckmorton, one OF the princi-
pal witnesses for the state in the
Sneed prosecution, who was an
nounced last night as likely to die, is
recovering this morning. His physi-
clans say he will now recover. He dis
appeared mysteriously and was found
unconscious from some unknown cause
at his hotel and was taken to sani-
tarium. He was sitting beside Boyce
when the latter was slain.
The defense opened the morning
session of court arguing for contin-
uance. Judge Swayne overruled the
motion to continue the case. This re-
moving the last obstacle in the way of
the trial the selection of a jury was
begun.
The defense's plea for continuance
was based on the contention of the abb
sence OF witnesses by whom they ex-
pected to prove that young Boyce and
Mrs. Sneed occupied the same room
and bed in a hotel at Omaha.
The state announced it would admit
the truth of the allegations that
Boyce and Mrs. Sneed lived together.

SALES
IN FAIR VOLUME
Transactions Largely in Houses of
Medium Price and Lots in
New Subdivisions.
BUILDING OPERATIONS LIVELY
By J. c. RANSOM.

Operations in real estate have been
moving along in easy, but progressive,
fashion during the past week. No very
large transactions have been reported
or placed on record at the City Hall,
but a fair average of houses and smaller
business places make up the lists for the
week. One hindrance, temporary in
character, to large transactions. is the
money market, which, though not exact
ly tight, is constrained. The banks are
expecting the call of the Comptroller
any day, and are holding on to funds
with view to making a good showing
in their reports to the Treasury.
This has the effect of delay upon
large transactions involving loans of any
considerable dimensions, and several
deals are reported as hung up for the
time being on that account. There ap-
pears to be plenty of money however
to finance the smaller transactions, where
only a few thousands dollars are in
volved, and the sale of houses in the
new subdivision and in all parts Of the
District has gone on unabated these fine
November days.
Building operations are also being
pressed forward with energy, contractors
making the most of the favorable wealth
er conditions. Structures in all parts Of
the city are going up rapidly, and those
further advanced are being finished in
record time. The clear mild days of
the past fortnight have been as much
of a blessing to the builder as to the
private citizen who is conserving high
priced coal with low fires in the fur
mace.
Rental Property Active.
Real estate men with rental depart
ments report large business for the week.
The city is filling up with its winter resi-
dents, and the calls are many at the
desks Of all the brokers'. There is a
sharp demand for apartments, as well as
houses large and small. Many of these
are rented on monthly leases, but some
are taken for an longer period. The
of new houses in the
suburbs has left some OF the older houses
In the center of the city vacant, and
many Of these are being renovated, re:
modelled and repaired to met the more
fastidious demands of the renters. As
long as a new house can be found fami-
lies will not take an old one, and the
disposition is everywhere manifested to
choose carefully between old houses in
good repair and those in run down con-
dltion. The time has gone by when any
Did thing with roof over 1t will bring
a good rental and owners of old prop
erty are forced TO fix up the premises
DR. see them remain empty.
Rents are not specially low In WASH
ngton. but the rapid building up of the
city in the last few years has had an
undoubtedly good effect upon housing con-
jitions Modern methods of heating have
added much to the comfort of homes,
ard houses Of the old type. furnished

NEW WING FOR ART WORKS.
Metropolitan Museum Will Erect
Building for Morgan Treasures.

New York. Nov. ga message from
members OF the board of estimates, it
was learned to-day, was conveyed to J.
Pierpont Morgan on Monday evening as
suring the financier that the city would
on January l grant the $4,000 appropria-
ton necessary for the building of a new
wing to the Metropolitan Museum of Art
for the housing of the wonderful Morgan
art collection.
Mr.. Morgan was informed that the city
had delayed making the appropriation
because it was believed the newly COM
pleted north wing of the museum would
contain sufficient space for the advan-
tageous exhibition Of the treasures
"Mr. Morgan is greatly pleased at the
newly awakened idea of cooperation
shown by prominent city authorities 50
said a friend of the financier. by the
appropriation of this mere bagatelle, the
city of New York will not only secure
the most valuable and important collec-
ton of art in the world, but at one bound
will take rank as one Of the worlds
great centers."

COTTON MILL KING" DEAD.

Providence, Nov. 2s.-Robert knight.
the Cotton Mill King" died here to-
day, aged eighty-eight. He was the
largest individual cotton mill owner in
the world. controlling twenty establish
ments throughout New England.
He was director in the National Bank
of Commerce and the Peoples Saving
Bank OF Providence, a director in the
New York, Providence and Boston Rail
road, and a director and stockholder in
many other banks, railroads and insur-
ance companies.

are continually looking for the hot water
heat and the hot air furnace In prefer
cnce to the coal stove.
Old Houses RemodeIed.
The result of this movement toward
better heating has been that in many
cases the old modes of producing heat
have been abandoned and houses fitted
out with modern apparatus. This
irsures quicker rental and better prices.
and the owner OF rental property is be-
ginning TO be convinced that his revenues
will be materially impaired unless he i'm
proves the property.
improvements, specially in the center
of the city, are often found too expen-
sive to be made without a change from
the old dwelling to a room or rooms for
business on the first floor and Office
suites or living apartments above. This
has led to almost a complete rebuilding
of many squares and portions of streets
near the business section and on corners
where the grOccryman. the druggist or
small dry goods merchant can find
suitable place for trade.
Building Over the City.
Washington is in the midst of this
building over process. and much of the
activity in real estate and in projects
for improvement is the sale of old houses.
their remodeling and entry upon a new
chapter of usefulness. Such activity is
noticeably active in that section Of the
city below New York Avenue, along that
thoroughfare, above Ninth Street, along
Eleventh, /, and II Streets, and Con-
necticut Avenue. In many squares the
entire appearance of the buildings is un-
dergoing change and business is crowd
ing out families from old homesteads by
the score.
Sale Of lots and building operations
goes on unabated in all the subdivisions
opened in the last two years, and the
city continues to spread out in all dt-
rections. Some wonder where the people
come from to occupy the hundreds OF
new houses and the .hundrers more OF
apartments that are being provided. but
they come, and Washington is growing
fast in population, as well as in other
characteristics which go to make up
hustling and thriving city.
