GETTING READY.
The Exposition Building Being Pre-
pared for the Great Conventions.

Especial Telegram to The Globe
CHICAGO, May 2.-The remodeling of the
exposition building for the use of the May
festival and the conventions is being pushed
forward with great vigor A force of forty
five carpenters has been at work on it for
four weeks, and an immense amount of
work has been done. One Of the most diff
cult jobs they have had on hand was the
taking down of the immense elevator shaft
running to the top of the building. Only a
few timbers Of this now remain. Unlike
the hall constructed four years
ago, this one will have not
ono sounding board, but two, one at each
end. That at the south end is already finished
1t is an immense affair, standing fifteen feet
from the floor of the gallery, and running at
an angle of forty-fve degrees forward to the
ceiling. The paraquette floor will have a
descent from rear to front Of five feet. The
contractors are satisfied that their work will
be finished according to agreement by May
10. In the meantime other mechanics are
getting in their work also. The gasfitters
have put in sixteen large rings
of burners to illuminate the open arena of
the hall and $50 extra burners to light the
aisles and passage ways. The painters also
are at work on the ceiling endeavoring in
vain to give the ceiling an aesthetic appear
ance by liberal application of blue and red
paint. There is every reason to believe that
by the appointed time the conventions will
have hall for their purposes better than any
other hall on the continent could offer them,
and much cooler and quieter and more con-
venient than the Republican convention had
four years ago in the same building.
1t is probable that the subcommittee
of the national committee will hold at least
one more meeting in Chicago before the
meeting of the national committee on May
81, the Saturday preceding the convention.
The sub committee will have great deal to
attend to, as the disposition and distribution
OF the tickets will be in their hands. They
will have to allot space to the newspapers,

ArbOr Day.

CINCINNATI, May 2.-Arbor day was OBJ
served by the members Of the Forestry
association and public schools by meeting
in Eden park, where trees have been previ-
ously planted. Several thousand people were
present. There were addresses by Judge
Higley, Prof r. B. Warden and others, and
singing by the pupils of the schools. Arbor
day originated here two years ago, by gentle
men desiring to encourage tree planting.
Subsequently the public schools were brought
into use IS 4 means of diffusing interest in
the subject, Trees are annually planted in
honor OF authors, generals and other dis
tinguished men. A number Of forestry asso-
ciations have been formed in different states,
the outgrowth of the movement begun here.

which are constantly sending applications
for accommodations for their cores
pondents. This will be one
of the most difficult as will one
of the most thankless tasks that
can be imagined, for no matter how wisely
the committee may act it will be impossible
to please all the applicants for seats, and
more or less kicking is simply inevitable.
Hon. j. c. New, chairman Of the sub COM
mittce, will have both his hands full. The
leading railroads of the country have made
liberal concessions. The Milwaukee, North
western and Albert Lea will carry passen-
gers at one and one-third fare for the round
trip.

A Robbery and Arrest.

Yesterday, Mrs. w. L. Burgham, of
Kansas, who had taken rooms at Smiths
Hotel. having $3lO ia her possession,
carried It for safely in satchel. Unfor-
tunately for her, she left the satchel In
the water closet for short time, and on
going to get it found that it had been
rifed Of all the money. which was all
the woman had for her suppor.
She made complaint to the
Chief OF Police, who detailed Officer
Lynch and special Officer Lindheimsr to
work up the case.
After careful examination Of the
circumstances and the premises, they
arrested Annie Hayes and Annie Robin
son, who had just hired rooms at the
hotel. On their persons were found
$l35 in cash, which Mo. Burgham
claimed as part Of her money. The off.
GERS then found that these girls had
been out shopping and feasting and had
spent $l67 for sacques and arti-
c!es Of clothing, which would ac-
count for 1902 of the stolen money.
The rest had been probably spent in
oysters aud other comforts. They weis
promptly jailed, and will rise and ex.
plain tomorrow. 1t is time that trav-
elers knew that hotels had safes
for the storage Of money and that wa
ter closet was not safe place for de-
posting large sums of money.

The CITY water.

The people Of the city, yesterday,
were loud in denunciation OF the City
Water Company for the condition
Of the water. 1t was simply
Infamous and unfit for domestic
use in any way. There should
be sand-boxes placed beneath the con.
duit before it reaches the reservoir. 90
that the most Of the sediment could be
deposited in them aud drawn off down
the bluff. Now. there is only one reser.
voir for each side of the river, and that
for this side is 80 abominably dirty
that the water 10 carried around it
while it is being cleaned, and 30
has no chance for slack water set
Ting. Such state Of things ought not
to exist. There should be two or more
reservoirs, SO that the silt in the water
could settle before going into the human
kidneys, where they are settled in the
siape of doctors and druggists bills.
Probably hundred consumers Of water
yesterday complained to the HERALD Of
the dirty condition Of the water, which
has been in . similar condition for the
last four months. At the price charged
for water the people think they ought to
have good water.
