APPROPRIATION BILLS PASSED.
University Receives Good Treatment From the Legislature.
The news comes from Topeka that the University appropriation bills are passed and only need the governor's signature, which will undoubtedly be given, since the bills are according to his recommendations. The separate bill, providing for a fund of $1500 a year for two years, for the purposes of Geological survey, has not yet passed but soon will be. The total amount received will be $355,000. Of this amount $135,000 a year will be allowed for current expenses. $75,000 will go for the erecting of a new Museum building, $10,000 will be used for the completion of the Chemistry building. The appropriation of $135,000 a year, is a gain of $15,000 per year over what was received from the last legislature. Of this amount, part will be used in securing additional instructors where they are most needed; part will be used for securing new equipments, and the balance for the expenses of remodeling Snow Hall and moving the museum material to the new building.
A bill empowering the Regents to use the $20,000 received from Congress in building a gymnasium was passed within an hour after the bill was introduced. There is no doubt that the regents will use it for that purpose, but it appears that the amount is far from sufficient, being less than half what would be necessary to build a gym of the necessary dimensions. It is intended to raise the balance by private subscription if possible. Another Mr. Fowler will be sought for. There is talk of trying to raise it from the alumni but nothing definite along that line has been done as yet.
The location of the new Museum building is not yet decided upon, nor the plans secured. Thessa are matters that the regents will probably decide upon in their present session, or the one following. It is probable that the building will be between Fowler shops and the Chemistry building.
Although there will be efforts made by several departments, two years hence to secure the new building, that will probably be given by the legislature. It is almost sure to go to the Law school. Whatever may be the justices of the demands of the different departments, the fact remains that the Law school has the best influences to bring to bear. The board of regents will be in sympathy with it an account of the number of lawyers on it, and the legislature, of which at least half the members are lawyers, or have legal educations, will be for it. Certain it is, that those members who are graduates of the K.U. law school will work for it, and statements were made by members during the session just at a close that if any other building were asked for in two years, the bill would be killed.
That Pi Phi Edition.
The Pi Phis will issue a special edition of the WEEKLY on March sixteenth. It will be newsy and handsome. The girls are working day and night and sparing no effort to make the paper the handsomest thing that was ever gotten out on the hill. The girls will devote the proceeds of the paper to the Lucinda Smith Buchan scholarship fund. This scholarship is given to any needy girl in her junior year—she may keep the money two or three years by paying a low rate of interest. The following is the staff for the special edition: Nottie Manley, editor; Ollie Leland, Elizabeth Warren, associates; Eleanor T. Miller, literary editor; Mildred Chadsey, sporting editor; Loren Leslie, local editor; May Spencer, society editor; May Kellogg, exchange editor; Inez Plumb, managing editor; May Copple, assistant manager.
Success of a Former K. U. Student.
Word has just been received from South Africa announcing the good fortune of one of Kansas University's former students. Mr. John Tellman a graduate in Civil Engineering class of '97 has just received entire charge of the Survey now being carried on by the English government in South Africa. Mr. Tellman went to Africa soon after graduation and was immediately employed upon the Survey. His excellent work and great ability soon attracted general attention and last month when Mr. Austin was forced to go home on account of failing health. Mr. Tellman was at once named as his successor.
THE DEVIL ON EARTH.
Marie Corelli's celebrated novel, "The Sorrows of Satan," the sales of which in this country alone are said to have exceeded one million copies, has been turned into a drama. This was inevitable in the case of a book possessing such theatrical qualities. The play is to be given here next Friday night. March 8.
In "The Sorrows of Satan" the Devil is represented as the victim of man's evil nature. He is being punished through all the ages for his rebellion in Heaven, and is forced to mingle with men, exerting his evil influence, yet yearning himself for salvation. He can only feebly endeavor to do good. Whenever a human being is pressed his temptation, the term of Lucifer's punishment is shortened and the fallen angel is brought nearer the portals of the paradise he once effected to despise. Hence Satan's sorrows, compared with which the sorrows of men are t ifes, for each man's salvation depends upon himself, whereas Satan's is at the mercy of the whole human race.
While the idea of the Devil appearing upon the earth is not entirely new, for Go the pictured it before, his character is absolutely original with Marie Corralli. Manager Wm. A. Byady is said to have cast the play with an appreciation of the difficulties of adequate representation. It will have all the requisite scenery, which is of a gorgeous nature, employing nearly one thousand electric lights, and the deck of a yacht storm-tossed at sea. At Bowersock Opera Houso, March 8.
The Quill Club.
The Quill club had its usual bi-monthly meeting Thursday at 4 o'clock. Miss Norris read a short story entitled "My Econym," in which she was artistically worked out an ethical problem. Miss Jones' story "In Olden Days," was a bit of Welsh history. The discussion of these two stories was very interesting and profitable to the members present. Some important business matters were then considered. Two committees were appointed by the president, Mrs. Hoss; one on membership and one on a con tition for the club. It was decided to hold a special meeting next Thursday afternoon to hear and decide upon the reports of these committees.
Mr. Underwood's production of "Spartacus" this season will be conspicuous alike for the elaborate scenic environment with which it will be invested, and Mr. John Griffith's splendid rendition of the titular role. In the arena scene in the Circo Massimo, or Coliseum, where Spartacus meets and conquers the greatest gladiators of Rome, the whole interior of the vast amphitheater is shown, the auditorium of the theater seemingly completing the arena in whose dust fell so many gallant warriors and heroic martyrs. This scene is, without question, one of the most realistic effects of the modern scene painter's art. Mr. Griffith's production of "Sparticus" is notable also for the armor and magnificent costumes employed; the former was especially made by Fachs and the latter by Herman, admittedly the most eninent authority and greatest producer of historical costumes in this country. Taken all in all the forthcoming engagement of Mr. Griffith in Dr. Baird's famous tragedy is to be regarded as one of the most interesting of

Track Meet.
Manager Mains received word from the Kansas City Athletic Association, saying that the proposition to hold the interstate track meet before that body this spring had been discussed and acted upon favorably. This insures a successful meet and has already had its good effect upon the track men of the University. New men are coming out and no body will have a walk-a-way in attaining a place on the team. If you expect to be in the K. C. meet, better come out at once.
At the recent meeting of the College Board, President J. B. Unthank was reelected for the coming year. Miss Tomlinson was elected to the position left vacant by the resignation of Miss Van Doren, who lead the choir of music. The Wilmingtonian, Wilmington, Ohio, Miss Tomlinson was in the class of '01, of the Fine Arts department; but on receiving the above position she left school and took up work in the Buckeye state. The WEEKLY congratulates Miss Tomlinson on her success.
BASKET BALL
The second basket ball game was played between Topeka Y. M. C. A. and K. U. in the Lawrence Gymnasium, Friday night, an enthusiastic crowd witnessing the contest.

U., H. Owens; Topeka, May; Backs, K. U., C. M. Smith, Fees; Topeka, Fleishman, Kitchener.
The K. U. band is again organized. The material is good and Lou Johnson is carefully practicing the boys. There will be about sixteen pieces. The band practices every Tuesday evening in the law room.
