FEES AND EXPENSES.
Tuition in the university, in all the de-
partments, is free to all residents of the
state of Texas.
Each student, on entering the univer-
sity, will pay to the proctor matricula-
ton fee: In the academic department,
SO; in the law department, 500.
Non residents of the state, in addition
to the matriculation fee, will pay a tuition
fee: In the academic department, $1O in
the law department, 500
Students who work in the chemical labo-
ratory will pay to the university the cost
of the material they use.
The university does not provide for
dormitories for the use of students. They
are permitted to board in such private
families in the city as are approved by the
faculty or in approved clubs.
Board, with furnished room, can be OBJ
tanned in the city of Austin, and near the
university, at prices varying from $16 to
$50 and $25 per month per month in pri-
vale families. In clubs the price of board,
including everything, has been reduced to
about $12.50 per month.
MESSING SYSTEM.
Where the students have adopted the
messing system their board and lodging
has been reduced as low as 1920 per
month, and with washing, fuel and
lights added to S12.20 per month.
1t can safely be estimated that the en-
tire expenses of students living in clubs
will be as follows: Board, ETC., for session
of nine months, at $3.50, $112.50; ma
circulation fee, so; library fee (returna-
BILE at end of SESSION., So; text books,
about SIS. Total, $142.50.
In the case of law students the matricu-
lation fee will be so more, making their
entire expenses, estimated, $152.50
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-04-08

Those students who prefer to board in
private families may, of course, do so,
PosT-GRADUATE COURSES.
Provision has been made for courses of
instruction open to resident graduates
of the university or approved colleges,
under the following regulations:
Every professor at the head of school
in the university shall be at liberty to
give instruction to graduates. He shall
meet with his class for regular recitation
or lecture at least one hour week, and
not more than five hours week, during
the academic year; and shall require the
members of his class to undergo rigid ex-
aminahons on the course pursued.
LAW DEPARTMENT.
This department opens on the 18th day
of September, 1886, at the university
building. The course of study required
for graduation occupies two years. A
postgraduate course is in contemplation
There are two classes, junior and senior
The students are exercised in the discus.
sion of legal questions and the prepare
ton of legal instruments, am, when, suff-
GENTLY advanced. in the trial of actual
cases in moot courts.
THE LIBRARY.
The university has an excellent library,
which is open daily to all students. A
liberal annual appropriation by the re-
gents is expended in the purchase of the
best books in the various departments of
literature and science. A large number OF
scientific and literary journals are regu-
larly taken. The library, at present, con-
tains over 1000 volumes, and printed
catalogue of more than 1000 is available
About $4,000 has already been ex.
pended, chiefly in the departments OF
English and history.
In the opinion of the faculty, the
foundation of noble library has been
laid, and it is now practicable to build
upon it in such proportions, and to such
an extent, as the needs and means of the
university may justify.
The room now used for the library is
admirably adapted for the purpose. 1t is
large enough to seat comfortably seventy
five readers, and has wall space enough
together with such alcoves as can be built
to shelve all the books the university will
need for probably twenty-five years. II

A large collection of books of reference
encyclopedias, periodicals, dictionaries
etc, is kept constantly in the room.
DONATIONS.
From official and private sources thel
have been received 66 volumes and about
800 pamphlets; and under this heading il
may not be out of place to remark tina
every author in Texas should consider i
a duty to present copy of his work tt
the university library, and should feel
pride in doing so.

ADDENDUM.

about the first of July, of this year,
Miss M. j. Pickett who was afflicted with
phthisis pulmonalis, resigned her position
as assistant teacher in the literary depart
ment, in which pursuit she had been en-
gagged in this institution for period of
eleven years, at least. She was educated
in this institution, for she had lost her
sight when quite young. About the thir-
teenth of last October she quietly breathed
her last in the house of her brother, who
resides in Navarro county. A too great
fondness for seclusion, and hard study,
undermined her health"

A LITERARY DEPARTURES.

Despite the ascendency of the printing
press In modern life there is an indication
of an attempt to return in literature to the
habit in vogue among the ancients, de-
prived of the knowledge of methods by
which their legends and so-called history
might be otherwise preserved for posterity,
of handing down by word of mouth all
that with them constituted literature worth
preserving. Mr.. CABLE, whose stories of
Creole life haye delighted so many people.
is responsible for the innovation. He pur-
poses, before his new story Grande Pointe
appears in magazine or book form, TO read
it himself to such audiences as NAV
care to gather to hear it. and
incidentally pay the necessary fee
The new scheme has several marked
advantages. While doubtless it is true that
the circle enabled to enjoy the productions
Of living authors would be comparatively
limited should the new plan meet with
general imitation and acceptance. the defect
would be partially counterbalanced by the
effectiveness with which an authors fine
points could be developed by his own read
ing. Should he combine histrionic talent

much intensified. The vividness of the
theater would give even the dreariest Of
novels an element Of life and action other
wise lacking, while those of a truly dra-
matte tendency would gain much from the
emphasizing of telling situations. But as
no book is satisfactory to all readers, the
author who fell into the fashion of reading
his own works and whose treatment of his
characters did not meet with general ap-
probation, as for example when he married
the wrong girl to the wrong man, would
probably be SO overwhelmed with indignant
protests from the feminine portion of his
audience as to be compelled In self-defense
either to alter the plot to suit the popular
taste, and thus leave unsupplied all the re-
quirements of literary art as viewed by him
or in haste take refuge once more behind
the bulwark of printers Ink. Mr.. CABLES
experiment will be viewed accordingly with
interest.

Preferred Against the New York
Consolidated Gas Company.
ALBANY, n. Y, March lin the as
sembly tonight the committee which has
been investigating the New York Gas COM
pany presented majority and minority re-
ports. The latter says the ficti-
tious capitalization of the New York
Consolidated Gas company gave it power to
provide the funds necessary to buy the
votes of legislators, and so thwart the eff
forts of the people to obtain relief from I'M
just burdens, provided enough legis-
lators were purchasable. No effort should
be spared to ascertain the truth or false
hood of the charges of corruption connected
with the gas legislation of 1885. The re-
port also states that there is evidence to
show that a large number of news
papers throughout the state were
paid by the gas company to pub
lish what ''untruly appeared to be
disinterested editorial opinions" The
names of the papers and the amount paid
each, ranging from Sc to $40. chiefly the
former amount, are given. The majority
reports hnd that the consolidated companies
of New York have not violated the law and
they are working upon fair capitalization,
having earned in some instances is per
cent. on their capital stock. The only
remedy the committee can suggest within
the law Is the appointment of gas COM
mission TO oversee the methods and regulate
the charges of the companies.

The Eight-Hour Movement.

CHICAGO, March 1. - The eight-hour
movement is assuming formidable proper
lions in this city and promises to be very
general among wage-workers both organ
ized and unorganized. Already the Brick
layers union has decided to stand for eight
hours work at eight hours pay on May L,
1850, as recommended by the Federation of
Trade and Labor Unions of the United
states and Canada, and as they number 49,
700 men, in fact all working at the trade in
Chicago, their demand is likely to be ac-
ceded to. The Plasterers' union, number
ing l,5OO, has taken like action, as also the
fathers. carpenters and all building trades.
The Cigarmakers' union has also decided to
make stand for eight hours. and the
typographical union, numbering some
LOCO members, yesterday decided to fall
into line, and work eight hours from and
after May 1, and invited other Printers
unions in the country cooperate. The gen
eral feeling among the workers seems to be
to accept eight hours pay for eight hours
work, and manufacturers and EMPLOYERS
generally do not seem to strenuously object
to this proceeding.

A CHANCE FOR DAKOTA.

Little as political events happening In
Germany might be expected TO affect this
country, there is a strong probability that a
recent act on the part of Prince BISMARCK
will be felt, and strongly felt here in the
Northwest. 1t was but recently that the
world was startled by the harshness of an
order for which the Iron Prince was re-
sponsible. On the specIous plea that their
presence was dangerous to the stability of
the German government. it was decreed
that the Poles should be expelled from the
lands in Prussian Poland. ruthlessly BAN
ished from the homes which so long had
been theirs, and deprived of all that they
held dear in the way of home ties. AS a
partial compensation for this Punishment
the government offered to purchase the
lands which it thus compelled the rightful
owners to give up. But this action has
been delayed by the offer of a syndicate to
purchase the lands of the exiles at fair
appraisement, and in addition provide them
with homes in some other country, where
land Is plentiful and cheap and the con-
ditions of life more pleasant than can be
offered to this prosecuted race in Germany.

which, though possessing philanthropic
features, is principally intended for the pc
cuniary benefit of its promoters. This is
Dakota's opportunity. She possesses the
requisite amount of cheap and fertile land,
her political and social requirements are
such that she can easily assimilate the new
corners. She is favored with a climate
which would commend itself to the Poland
ers. and in every respect, particularly with
reference to political freedom, she would
afford them all those advantages denied by
the country over which the blut und eisen
prince so automatically rules. Dakota at
the same time would gain class of eiti
zens whose honesty, energy and thrift
would make them desirable additions TO
any community, and especially to one
which is only beginning the fulillment of a
wonderful destiny. The matter is worth
the attention of the immigration officials.

have precedence over Mr.. Sections. Mr..
Gladstone was inclined to yield. A strong

members to be present on Tuesday night
