Hot Fight ON the Appropriation Bills.
Charleston w Va Feb 20 r ON
ten O'Clock yesterday morning unit
ten o'clock last night both branches of
the Legislature labored with the APP
preparation bills, to the exclusion of
all other important matters. Similar
bills were introduced in each body
and were considered ON the second
reading. These were read section
by section in order to facilitate amend
ment. In few particulars were the
bills changed from the form in which
thew were.prepared by the two finance
committees. One of the most import
ant changes was an addition of So, 600
Romney'school for the Deaf, Dumb
and Blind.
In the Senate there was a battle
royal over the $35, 600 appropriation
for the state geological survey
which is to be made in connection
with the government, AS was done in
Maryland and Pennsylvania. Presi-
dent Smith came down from the chair
to fightsthe proposition, and the SEN
ate chamber rang with oratoryfor two
hours. The appropriation was finally
knocked out by vote of IL to 10. 1t
passed the House.
There was another fight over an APP
preparation of $50, 900 for the Pan
American Exposition. President
Smith announced that if it were
granted he would vote against the en-
tire appropriation bill. The appropri-
alton carried by vote of 10 to s. There
were the two most important features
of the day.
An effort was made in the Senate to
revive the Laughlin Igor bill and the
pure food which was killed, but the
necessary two-thirds vote was lack
ing.
The resolution providing for a
constitutional amendment to change
thf membership of the Supreme Bench
frbm four to five was adopted.

corporation bill heretofore passed BY

cratic minority strongly opposed the
bill. only such amendments were
adopted. however, as We're corrective
and acceptable TO the majority side,

Developing Babxbooa

Last and most important, we find the
impulse to create. to express through
ones activity ones own inner life. In
children this impulse shows itself in
the love OF "~making-up" and acting
out stories in which they themselves
are heroes and heroines. in the inven-
tion Of wonderful new designs in build.
ing. modelling. and in modifying all
their actions to suit their personal
ideals. In this way the sense OF intel
lectual selfhood. the feeling Of individ-
ual power. grows against a background
OF initiated activities derived from ones

"Quo Vaais" Today.

me stage OF the Lyceum is at present vert-
able hive OF industry Carpenters, modeerS,
scenic artists, electricians and their helpers are
energetically working the spectacular features
Of "Quo Nadis in order TO have everything in
good shape for the opening performance this
afternoon, and night and Wednesday night. The
scenery. platform, furniture, costume trunks, piles
Of heavy armors, spears, hammers, torches and
the thousand and one pieces OF property" which
go TO make up the big show are piled in chaotic
fashion all over the stage. The pillars of Nero's
palace where found resting against the Amphi-
theater. where the final struggle OF the play is to
take place. In the arched doorway OF the Lamer-
tine prison the beautifully droped couch Of the
Empress Poppaea looked lonesome and out of
place, with pile Of Roman banners marked "S.
p. Q. W and bundle OF be-ribboned and gar.
landed fscas piled uncemoniously on top.
Rome was burning in one corner. with the Rose
Garden OF Aulus Plautius villa unscorcled within
a Yards distance. and all this intruded into
corner of Nero's banquet hall, where a crowd of
very modern looking men in white overalls like
army Of invasion in the exclusive precincts
were busying themselves polishing breast plates
shining up spears, putting fresh red paint on
the red hot irons, with which the eyes Of the
Christians are to be scorched, weaving garlands
OF flowers around mammoth urns in which in
cense will burn, putting fresh putty noses, ears
and fingers on the marble statutes for Petronius'
lawn fete.
Every nook and corner Of the stage and in the
space above will be utilized to crowd, doyetail
and hang the thousand and one big and little
things that will be brought out OF their places
like clock'work at the proper time to lend real
ism and correct historical atmosphere to the vari
Gus scenes amid which Nero and his brilliant ret
inue will feast, intrigue and plot against the
comfort and safety Of the Christians this afternoon
and night and throughout the three performances
OF the engagement
