have had the privilege of the first Of
the faculty to subscribe.
There have been, so far, ten sub.
scriptiOns of 500 and over, six of SIS
and over, four Of $50, eleven of $50
two of $40 besides quite number OF
$50 each. There have been none less
than $50. There has been no pressure
brought to bear by the leaders in the
movement to increase the subscrip-
ton list. There are quite a number
who will give literally will write to

There has never been any movement
in the university which has met with
such hearty cooperation from the en-
tire student body. at is the first
thing that has ever brought the stu
dents all together" was the remark
of Mr.. Penick yesterday. In addition
to the great moral and religious factor
which such building will be, it is
felt that no incOnsiderable part of it's
influence will be the creating a uni
versity spirit and unifying the life of
the university. Every college in
which there has been such building,
bears abundant testimony to this.
Mr.. Barnes of Cornell says that
the building there has come to
form the center of the best social life
of the students. Evening receptions,
which are frequently held there, serve
the excellent purpose of bringing to-
gether upon social footing the stu
dents and the families of the pro-
fessors. The smaller rooms are in
constant use for meetings of student
organizations"
The gymnasium in the building
will meet a long felt want among the
students for physical training. 1t has
been almost impossible to arouse
much enthusiasm in athletics without
a gymnasium in which to secure
the best training. The placing
OF a gymnasium in the
Y. M. G. A. building insures the best
influences being thrown around all
athletic sports.
But, of course, the main factor in
arousing the enthusiasm and bring
ing forth the self sacrifice of the stu
dents is the moral and religious bles-
sing they expect it to have upon the |
fellow students.
Inc SUBSCRIPTIONS among the stu
dents will be continued during today.
DR.. Garrett has kindly offered to turn
over his church to the students on
night when plan will be
presented to the citizens of Austin,
but no subscriptions will be received
at this meeting as the list will not be
opened to the public until later day.
The full program of this meeting
which promises to he an exceedingly
one will be published in
tomorrow's paper The total amount
Of subscriptions up to last evening was
30, 500.

WILLIAM RoCKAFELLER, president
of the Standard Oil company is about
to die from blood poisoning brought
on by a mere tack in his shoe. Well,
it does not always take some large
cause to rive the spirit out of its tene-
ment. Anacreon died of Il grape seed,
and it is not beyond the bounds of rea-
son that Rockefeller, who has tramp
led down many a man in acquiring
his fortune, should at last be over
come by a sore toe.

THE JONES MANIFESTO,

Evan Jones, the sub-treasury thun-
derer, has shaken his ambrosial locks
and given the nod which is to eX-
communicate certain Alliance num-
bered 559; but Alliance sos hurls his
thunderbolt back in his teeth, eXpec-
torates on its hands and tells him to
come on and it will mop up the earth
in Freestone county with his remains.
1t further refuses to recognize his au-
thority, and says it belongs to state
alliance which is duly chartered, and
which does not need the countenance
or influence of him, Evan Jones. AL
lance sos also hurls Latin full at the
author of this manifesto, and talks
about his brutum fulmen, and then
cruelty leaves the unhappy Jones
with the painful alternative of either
guessing at its meaning or inquiring
of his mortal enemy, Farmer
Shaw. The STATESMAN grieves
to witness these discussions between
the people who erst.while were breth-
rem; but the wedge has been driven
into the Alliance, and has riven it
asunder. There are now two Allan
,ces, which may be denOminated the
Subtreasury Alliance and the Anti
subtreasury Alliance. Or perhaps it
would be more definite to alludeto the
latter as The Alliance, while the from
or could be designated as The Other
Alliance. The STATESMAN sends
greeting, therefore, to Alliance sos,
the bright and courageous representa-
tive of The Alliance. May it keep a
brutum fulmen of its own, with which
it can annihilate the political dema-
gogues that would seek to make n tool |
of it. Texas owes it many thanks for
the retort courteous it bestowed on
Evan Jones, of The Other Alliance.

EDISON has a little plan of his own
in connection with the Chilean trouble,
if it should ever resolve itself into a
war. All he wants is twenty men and
an alternating machine of 2000 volts
capacity. One wire would be ground
ed. a man would govern a stream Of
water of about 400 pounds pressure to
the square inch, with which the
alternating current would be con-
nected. The hose would then be
turned on Chile, and every man the
stream of water touched would be a
dead man. Edison will please hurry
up with his machine, as it may be
necessary to use it in the near future,
1t should be turned on Pat Egan first
of all.

OUR PUBLIC BRIDGE.

Mayor Mcdonald, in his annual
message to the city council, used this
language in referring to the late eX-
tension Of the city limits and the in
Guiding within the same of South
Austin:
While we can congratulate our
selves in this increase Of population
and wealth, and rejoice that we have
an Eleventh ward with two genial
and cOmpaniOnable aldermen, we
have also to recognize the fact that
there come new burdens with this
newly acquired territory.
While the limited amount available
for street improvements will perhaps
make it impossible fOryour honorable
body to do all we might wish to for
the newly acquired territory in the
way Of street improvements, | feel
satisfied you will deal literally and
justly with that portion Of our city.
This subject, indeed, involves
serious consideration; the most griev-
Gus obstacle in tho way of our doing
at once all we should for our new citi-
Zens being the unsatisfactory bridge
across the Colorado river. This was
built as a county bridge and finally
paid for out of the county's money.
While now used to a very great OK
tent by those lately made citizens of
Austin it is still more in the nature of
county than a city bridge.
BY far the greatest travel over
it is by the country people,
and surely the heaviest and most
blockading hauling over it is done by
them. For this reason for years to
come it should be held as quasi a
county bridge and The STATESMAN
insists the county, equally with the
city, should be held responsible for its
improvement and putting in condi- |
tion to accommodate satisfactorily all
the travel going over it. This should
be a question of amicable'' arrangement |
between the city council and the
county commissioners. Through their
joint efforts very much may BEACON
plished to make it wider and better
bridge, while if each is left unaided to
itself il will doubtless be many year
before the much needed work is done.

Mr.. NEWBERRY, a member Of the
House from Illinois, has introduced a
bill asking for the approprion of $780,
900 with which to establish spelling
schools at the Worlds Fair and in va
rious parts Of the country. Mr.. New
berry should 90 to. Nine-tenths of
the great financiers and prominent
politicians of this country are men
who would just as soon spell socks
"sox" as any other way. In fact, the
man who knows how to spell is hardi-
capped in the race from the very start
and has no show at all beside the man
whom ignorance and unlimited gall
have pushed away up to the head Of

Gov. BoIEs of Iowa started his in
augural address with the remark: 81
cannot avoid the conclusion that we
legislate too much.n If he had meant
that remark for Texas he couldn't
have made it more appropriate. We
legislate too much, and after our laws
have knocked all the prosperity out of
the country the supreme court takes
our laws up, looks them ever and de-
clares them unconstitutional. That
comes of having a legislature that
wouldn't know a constitutional law if
they were to see ia legislature that
needs to meet in extra session to undo
the mistakes it has made in the regu-
lar session.

How She Became a Missionary,

"I'm doing missionary work a good
deal of the time" was the reply of one
of the most charming women of New
York, to a friend, who asked how she
busted herself. II see by your looks
you wonder what 1 mean by that. I'll
tell you. A few years ago life was a
burden to me. l had been q victim to
female weakness of the most aggra-
waited Oh racter for a long time, and
the doctors failed to help me. Exist
ence was long, steady, terrible tor
ture-a lingering, living death. One
day | saw DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription advertised in a newspaper.
Something in the advertisement i'm
pressed me favorably. 1 caught at the
glimmer of hope it held out as the
drowning man is said to catch at
straw. Still, 1 did not dare to hope.
But l got the medicine, and behold
the result! l feel so WELL so strong,
and o, so thankful, that I go about
telling other women what saved me.
In no other way can l so well show
my gratitude to God, and to the man
who has proved such a benefactor of
women, and my love for my suffering
siSterhood."

CULBERsoN wants n tariff for reve-
nue. only; Mills wants about the same.
But Culberson wants the money ques-
ton made prominent, and thinks the
tariff ought to be reformed and the
money famine ended by the fr7e COIN
age of silver. Mills thinks the free
coinage of silver would do nothing
toward relieving the general depres-
sion, as long as the robber tariff has
the country by the throat. Here are
two Texas statesmen holding diam
critically opposite views on vital ques-
tions; and it must be conceded that
both are honest and both have arrived

was delicate and merited compli-
ment, for though Mrs. Davis is citi-
zen of New Orleans, she is identified
far more with Texas than with Louis
lana. 1t was in Texas that she grew
to wOmanhood, and here she sung her
sweetest songs and wove her most
charming fancies. Texas claims her
by priority, and it is fitting that she
should be one of the states represen-
tative women, to forward the Worlds

WOMEN'S PRISON BURNED.
Two Girls KIndle Fire That Destroys
an Indiana Institution.

The Indiana State prison near Indi-
annapolis, for the confinement of women
convicts and young girl incorrigible who
had committed minor crimes, was burned to
the ground the other night. 1t was one OF
the largest structures OF the kind in the
country, built of brick and stone. and with
all the latest Improvements that prison ex-
perience could suggest. It cost $500, COO.
The fire was discovered early in the even
ing III or near the laundry department, and
was the result Of mischief or something
worse by three or four girls. Two of them
had locked two others in a room and left
them there. They cut of spite set fire
going which they could not control. aud it
soon became so formidable that they nearly
suffocated and had to cry for help. They
were rescued, but the fire was then under
full Roadway and could not be controlled.
The prisoners were all driven into the
yard. In a few moments the officials
thought the fire was subdued and sent the
women and girls all back again, but in
half an hour the fire took a fresh start and
all were set free again. The two girls who
had locked the Others in escaped to the city
as soon as the alarm was raised.
The prisoners were all brought to the city
and distributed in the rooms in the Court
Houss and police station. One hundred and
fifty were girls or incorrigibles ranging in
age from twelve to eighteen, and the other
fifty three were all convictS. Several OF
them were life prisoners.
