MONEY NEEDEsD FOR NEXT
TWO YEARS BY STATE INsTI-
TUTTONs HAS BEEN MADE.

Despite the fact that a concurrent
resolution passed at the Hast session
Of the Legislature provides that a
committee. consisting of three hold
over senators TO be appointed by the
president OF the senate. and three
representatives to be In, turn ap-
pointed by the three senator's, shall

superintendent and presidents, and
prepare for the legislature q repor.
TO be submitted IN, January as 20
the amount necessary for the, main
tenance, repair and improvement OF
the institutions there, has been no
meeting of the committee; nor does
there seem to be likelihood that, Il
wEi meet before week or SO. has
flown by, IL at all.
Prior to the passage OF the. reso-
luton the law made 1t the duty OF
the secretary OF state to estimate
the amount necessary to conduct the
and embody 1t In his re-
port. 1t placed heavy burden on
that oficial. and, then in. addition.
there was much data that the, legis
lature desired which Its members
did not have time to gather at the
sessions, and 1t was to relieve the
secretary of the burden. and to Sc
cure for the legislature the latter,
that the resolution was passed.
The secretary OF state in view OF
the resolution did not embody the
amount in his report this time. but
he indicated today that he would
get to work and gather the data IS
he did not desire to take chances on
the committee meeting when It had
not done so within the time pre-
scrlbed by the resolution. The sec
retary in doing this will, of course,
relieve the legislature from being
placed when It convenes without any
estimates upon which to base Its APP
preparation for the institutions; but
in view OF the fact that the, secre-
tary must do the work now In the
course of a week or so, the data
4 will not be as complete as desired by
the legislature. and the result will
be, that the institutions will suffer
in, many ways because of the failure
OF having their needs and wants
properly and fully presented to the
law making department. U.7 III
Attorneys take the view that ow-
ing to the fact that 1t is resolution
that it's provisions are not mandatory
and that the members of the COM
mittee can disregard them at their
win. Should this be a correct inter
probation of the law, then the secre-
tary of state, It would seemj whose
duty It was by law priopfto to the
passage OF the resolution. was never
relieved OF the duty to inquire into
the needs Of the institutions and
make an estimate OF the money
needed to conduct their affairs.

ANNUAL INSPECTION
Company A Members Are Given New
Uniforms and Other Latest
Equipment.

The members of Company A receiv-
ed their new olive drab uniforms last
evening and they were highly pleased
with them. The new equipment is of
the latest variety and the militiamen
are proud of it. The drill last even
ing was devoted for the most part to
preparing the command for the an
nual inspection by a regular United
States army officer who is to be mere
a week from tonight. Another drill
will be held Friday night and it is be-
lieved that the company will stand
the efficiency test of the government
and will be continued in the service.

the eighth inning on account of rain.
The score is even. 1t is the champion
ship game of series, and Tom Harring-
ton, on account of absence from lee
lures and college boy pranks played
during the preceding acts, has been
forbidden to play by the dean of the
faculty. The sun comes out, the game
is resumed, and Harrington coaches
his team from a window in the club 8
dressing room, underneath the grand
stand. There is a close decision at
the home plate, and the umpire is al
most mobbed by the excited Siwash
players, one of whom is ruled off the
field.
The dean finally consents to let Har-
rington play, and he goes to bat in the
last half of the ninth inning, lining a
home run hit, and bringing in two
other runs. This wins the game and
championship for the Siwash team, as
well as MY Cinderella Girl for Tom.

comet'g head from which it proceeds.
The solid part of a comet is its nu-
cleus, or core. This is at the center
of its head, and shows more bright
ly than the rest. A large part of the
head is nearly as unsubstantial as
the tail, and may be likened to
steaming vapors. Because Of the ma
ture of these 1t is difficult to secure
an accurate measurement OF the nu-
cleus, as 1t would be to judge of the
size Of Paderewski's skull beneath
its corona of waving hair. But, when
Prof. Charles A. Young says that the
mass of the head of an average large
comet like Halley's may be regarded
as equal to ball of iron of $50 miles
diameter, 1t is manifest that here we
have something truly substantial.
The nucleus then is the real comet.
And this is conceived OF, not as a
solid sphere, but as a mass of objects
of uncertain size, held together by
their mutual gravitation, and all
moving under the influence of the
sun
Where these came from and how
they happened to be, no one knows.

HoPP.s NEW BILL.

The Great Albini, magician and
illusionist, who is appearing at the
Hopp theatre this week, is great in
deed. He is In the same class with
Keller and Herman. He carries 40
tons of accessories with him and three
assistants. He is able to use only
half of his equipment while playing
here and in the meantime the other
half is in storage. Nevertheless he
requires nearly the entire stage at the
Hopp, and the other acts which are
on the bin are allowed very little
room. Albini does marvellous things
which must be seen to be appreciated.
His crowning stunt is known as the
bridal chamber act" In this the ma
terials used are the floor and the cell
ing of room which is raised off the
floor several feet so that the specta-
tors can see around, under and over
the apartment at the same time. The
stage Is entirely cleared of all scenery
back to the brick wall at the rear and
apparently there is absolutely no way
to enter the frame work without being
seen by everybody in the theatre.
And yet the wonder worker draws
curtains down on all four sides OF, the
room and in the space of less than
two minutes causes the empty space
within to become real bridal cham
Der with a bed, dresser, chairs. car
pets, rugs, pictures on the wall and
even a lighted chandelier. The girl
assistant is in the room when the cur
tains are drawn back. This act is
only one of the many marvellous ones
the great Albini does The remainder
of the bill includes the Denrock
brothers. in comedy acrobatics; Bes-
sic Allen, a soubrette; Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Wilbur in a comedy sketch;
Florence Arnold, a singing comedi-
enne. and the Musical Stipps. All are
interesting acts.

Is LIVE PLAY

Harper's magazine said during the
first week that The Servant in the
House" was holding New York theatre
goers in it's thrall: Occasionally the
accused and often culpable public has
a chance to show that it rather enjoys
looking into its own soul and is still
able to appreciate an idea. To be able
to entertain the public with ideas is
no slight accomplishment, but to cause
it to entertain ideas is in the nature
of a triumph. The Servant in the
House. a drama by Charles Ram Ken
nedy, has had this effect upon New
York. Happening upon Broadway in
a doubtful time, it took a first step
upon the stage and was a play, found
foothold, took another, and was
book; and at this moment stands quiet
ly on the pedestal of New York sue
cess, a live thing, eloquent, sunny, and
mysterious, having something TO say
to the man on the street. OF a sudden
The Servant in the House has become
the thing to see and to read" This
sunny. mysterious" play of today,
with its fascinating suggestions of
oriental occultism, will be seen here
at the Illinois Sunday, April 10, mat
inee and evening, presented by the
original New York company.

After hard scurrying the federal cen

appointees to make the enumeration

pointed are now asking to be relieved.
The federal law provides a heavy fine
for failure to perform the duties with
out justifiable cause, after once taking
the oath to do so, and it seems likely
that a number whose inclinations have
changed will be held to their con-
tracts

the comet does not travel in any re-
sisting medium, and is actually pre-
ceded by it's tail when retreating into
space.
One OF our most recent discoveries
is that of the force exerted by light
itself No less than 10000 tons of
light pressure are received by the
3 nth from the sun, and its law is
,nat this force rapidly increases with
the division of the object into small
er particles. The substances. expelled
from the nucleus of comet by The
sun constitute the most finely di-
vided matter conceivable; hence the
most sensitive to the action of light.
Some think that there is an actual
bombardment of these particles by.
corpuscles proceeding from the sun
with enormous speed. Hence they
are swept back into space in the
form of tail, whose light is chiefly,
If not wholly, reflected sunlight,
while that of the head is partly re-
iected and partly the outcome OF en-
ergies set into action by the suns In
fiuence.
Comets sometimes run so close to
the sun that they are torn to pieces
by the tidal influence of its tremen-
dous gravitation. Biela's comet is
one of these, gone beyond recovery.
and now supplanted by the stream
of Bielid meteors following its for

ran so near the sun as to brush its
coronal streamers, and it SO felt the
force of the suns attraction when so
close that it went to pieces before
our eyes. breaking into no less than
five separate comets, each throwing
out it's tail after the pattern Of the
original. II is thus that, in a num-

But the substances OF which they are
composed are Identical with elements
with which we are familiar. Hydro
carbons and various metals respond
to spectroscopic tests. iron, mag
nesium, ETC.; and, as matters develop
with the approach of a comet to the
sun, the hydrocarbons break up into
SCOT and smoke, which is Illuminated
by the sunlight in which IT travels.
Far away the comet displays no
light nor tail; the influences of the
sun are felt too feebly at so great dis
lance. But, with the ever-increasing
speed of its approach, there is rapid
increase Of the suns energy impaired
to it, so that the nucleus, hitherto
cold and dark, develops its haZy
head, and is first seen as an indis-
tinct nebula; then the tail is thrown
out and developed, as well as more
fully displayed by reason of its near
approach. Since the earth lies so
near the sun in the celestial vast
ness, the comet approaches sun and
earth at the same time; hence, at
first it's tail lies behind the head, and
is seen nearly lengthwise; but when
1t passes our globe in either direc-
ton. we view 1t sidewise and obtain
the full benefit of its entire length
of millions of miles.
The development of the tail is due
to the rapid increase of solar heat,
and perhaps of electricity, driving
out gases from the head, which are
repealed in space. AS the tail is al
ways turned away from the sun, it
is clear that some force proceeding
from the sun is accountable for it. 1t
cannot be like trail of steam or
smoke left behind a locomotive; for
