were confident of places have been dis-
charged while others have been placed
on. Jt is by no means certain however
just at present who w ill play. There is
a lively contest going on for the various
positions a thing which has seldom hap-
pened in the past when urgent solicita-
tion was some times necessary to induce
a man to pluy. The following are the

Yesterday evening w as the regular time
for the meeting of the Athletic associa
tion but on account of the fact that most
of the men were on the foot ball field
and the additional fact that the president
could not lie found after diligent search
it was postponed.
A challenge has been s-nt to the A. &
M. to play a game during regatta. In
the event of the failure of the regular en-
gagement with Louisiana for Thanks-
giving the return game with Dallas will
take place on that day.

The tennis courts are to be provided

The senior Law president has called

If the footoall team of the University
of Texas scores any pronounced success
during the coming season it will deserve
the additional credit of having done so in
the face of opposition and difficulty which
might well discourage. It now de velopes
that the arrangements with the owners
of Hyde Park which were spoken of as
final by the football management were
merely taken under advisem.?nt and
worst of all the decision is unfavorable.
In other words the teams will have to
practice as of yore on the camnus. a
place by no means fitted for such train
ing. Jhe reason for the refusal of the
use of Hyde Park as a training field and
a place for the games of the coming
season is the very natural one that
young fruit trees are planted there and
their fate would be easy to predict in
the midst of a football melee.
A meeting of the Athletic association
has been called for next Friday.
J here is an affecting anneal on liehalf

the attention of the authorities and the

found that it required aliout eight hours
for the water to travel from the Lowell
outfall to the Lawreiice intake. If this
water was pumped immediately into the
reservoir the supply would certainly
reach the citizens within six or ten days.
Let us bear in mind that the weather
was cold the temperature being only a
few degrees above the freezing point.
The report of the State board of hearth
was to the effect that the fever at Law-
rence was gaused by that at Lowell and
that that at Lowell was caused by the
filthy stream before referred to notwith
standing the low temperature. Jo test

health inoccuiated the Lawrence water

as delivered at the University last Friday
night The question he discussed is of
the utmost importance to every citizen
of Austin at this time and every one
should give this article a most careful
reading:
Ladies and Gentlemen The fact that
there are 35000 lives lost annually in
the United States from typhoid fever
that water constitutes 'M per cent of the
liquid portion of the blood; that water
constitutes 70 per cent of the corpuscles
in circulation; that Cyrus Edson com-
missioner of health of New York recently
said that "out of every 300 cases of ty-
jnoici jever ay -come from infected
water;" and that Allen Hz..n r-

centimeter was withdrawn each day and
tested.

course this represents only one case but
it can be taken as a good illustration of
others. Jt has been often asserted that
no chemical analysis could detect any
contamination of the Thames water 15

However that may be. it is a fact that
recent biological experiments have dem
onstrated that for many miles lower
than this limit the bottom mud is sat
urated with disease-producinc microiies

no city should discharge its refuse into

Many centuries ago Hippocrates
preached the gospel of good health and
his text was: "Pure Air Pure Water
and a Pure Soil." It has been the text
of sanitarians for the last 3KiO rears
I ure air pure water and a pure soi'l can
be called the three factors of public
health. The pure soil is necessary to the
existence of pure air and pure water
but it seldom receives much considera-
tion; and we are loth to acknowledge
the importance of this factor till an epi-
demic of cholera typhoid fever or some
kindred disease impresses us with its
significance. All three factors must be
considered with their proper bearing
or the result is at least doubtful. An
ri.-eneui water supply does not make a
healthy city nor does a first-class svh-
tem oi sewerage. Too often we are iie-
guiled into thinking the problem is
solved when in reality only one factor
has received attention. I can scarceiv
