Commodore Davidson,s Latest
scheme for Play House.
Commodore Davidson, always building
up or tearing down, has now a scheme for
converting the Exposition rink into an op-
era house, for the purpose of giving the
people the benefit of light opera, extrava-
ganzas and dramas at low rates. Workmen
are already busy around the building and
it IS expected that it will be in shape by
the LIST of August Several feet will be
taken off the real of the rink to make room
for a block that he is to build, fronting on
Fifth street. and in the southern end where
the raised seats now are a parquet will be
built and two balconies put in.
The stage will be a large one, and roomy
enough to accommodate all the scenery that
is carried by any company that visits this
part of the country. The bunting that now
hangs from the arches will be taken down
and ceiling put up. In the front of the
building wide foyer will be built, and
there will be entrances from Wabasha and
Fifth streets. The house will be brilliantly
lighted, and the parquet filed with folding
opera chairs. Attention will be paid to i'm
proving the acoustic qualities of the house,
and before the commodore. gets through
with it, he will have neat and attractive
opera house.

found dead and decomposing Yesterday
morning in his room at No. 81 West Susan
street. He was lying on his bed Win
bullet hole in his temple, blackened with
the powder and pistol and looking glass;
which was broken. by his side. On the
wall, written with pencil, was the state
ment that he had not killed his wife, ana
also some information ubout his tools and
some bills. 1t seems that he mad
lost his wife in Minneapolis
last February, and since then his children,
a bright bow of and girl of s, have been
taken care of most of the time by his sister,
Mrs. Stahl, wife of piano tuner III the EN-
ploy of Over & Howard. About two weeks
ago he placed his children in an orphan
ASYLUM. partly on account of quarrel with
his sister. in which she accused MN OF
causing his wife'S death by his lll-treat-
ment. This increased his despondency
and prompted the statement on the wall
that he had not killed his wife, for he loved
her. He had not been employed for some
time. and was living at 81 West Susan
street where he had rented couple OF
rooms of E. c. Boxwell, who lives Ill the
rear portion of the house. The rooms
were quite disorderly in appearance show

He was last seen on SATURDAY evening,
when Mr. Bowel invited him to breakfast
with them on Sunday morning, but he eX-
cused himself saying that he could not eat.
On Sunday forenoon Mr.. Boxwell heard
noise as of falling board in his room, but
it was probably the report of the revolver
as indications pointed to his having been
dead couple of days. Yesterday morning

Pentecost or xyh,tsuutide.

According to the Jewish calendar sunset
last evening marked the beginning of the
feast of Pentecost, or, as it was originally
called, the "feast of weeks" because cele-
brated seven weeks after the Passover, which
occurred on the sixteenth day of the first
month of the Mosaic calender. The day is
the anniversary of the giving of the law on
Mount Sinai Orthodox Jews celebrate this
feast for two days, and the reformed Jews
only one day. The synagogues are decorated
with flowers, and regular services will be
held. 1t is the principal season for the oon-
tirmation of children.
The day is also festival in the Christian
church, and among the Latin and Greek
Christians ranks next to Easter. 1t commem-
crates the day when the Holy Ghost de-
scended upon the apostles and bestowed upon
them the gift of tongues. This time was
formerly considered the favorite season for
baptism, and because those baptised were
clothed in white, to represent spiritual pur-
1ty, the day acquired the name of Whitsun-

LOOKING up STEAMBOATS,.
A Special Officer Frona Chicago
Here on That BUSINESS


James McHale of Chicago, special agent
of the United States treasury department.
is guest at the Ryan. He is supposed to
be in this section of the country looking
after the enforcement of the steamboat
laws, which require all steamboat boilers to
be provided with certificate of inspection,
and that the officers of the boat
should have the proper papers.
Mr.. McHale was seen last evening and
asked about this steamboat business. He
said that this section is in the Tenth Gus
toms district, embracing Lake Superior,
Lake Michigan, Chicago, Milwaukee, the
whole of Wisconsin and two districts i'll Min
neSota. lii this state steamboat papers
can only be obtained at st. Paul and st.
Vincent. Mr.. McHale said that the district
was large and had never been
looked after very sharply and
the result was that there were a
good many complaints that the steamboat
officers had not complied with the law.
His duty was to see that officers had the
proper credentials and that passenger boats
were properly equipped. He found the
boats ON the river here well guarded in this
respect, being owned by careful men, but
the complaints came from sections of the
country some distance away, where owners
had carelessly neglected their duty. al
though the laws were very strict.

This morning the Yardmasters' Mutual
Benefit association opens its ninth annual
convention in Garfield hall on jackson
street. All day yesterday incoming trains
brought delegates from various points of
the United States, many of them accom-
panied by their wives and children, and the

quarters for the visitors. Ehle Aliens
smiling countenance looked kindly up into
the faces of his guests as he answered the
avalanche of questions that was poured
down upon him and at the same time as
signed them to rooms, and the visitors
went away happy. About $50 delegates
have arrived and enough are expected to-
day to swell the number to 200. As a body
they are striking and each man carries with
him an air of business and self-recognized
importance. The association is not Sc
cret order nor does it advocate the interests
of the Knights of Labor. 1t is simply an
organization for the benefit of the yard
masters. Last year the association met in
Philadelphia, the year before in Atlanta,

REPAIRING THE CAPITOL.
The Rotten Flooring Being Takel
From the East Wing.

From the East Wing.
Under orders from Gov. Hubbard, re-
pairs were begun on the interior of the
capitol yesterday. A gang of workmen
spent the entire day taking out the second
floor of the east wing, and
by night had removed all the
thing and large amount of the
rotten timbers. 1t was found that the
stringers directly beneath the thing were
all decayed so that they resembled punk
more than wood. 1t is the intention to put
new floor timbers in on pretty nearly all of
this wing. and investigation will be made
to ascertain how many more of
the tlools are in the same condi-
ton. A staging covered with canvas
has been built ON the first floor of the wing
that is undergoing repairs and the passage
has been blocked by sheet of canvass
stretched and fastened across the entire
entrance to the wing so that when officials
from the Wabasha street entrance desire to
call on the railway commissioners or

who is everywhere present. "You goes

The Rain Cny.eim Time.

For some days those interested in the
wheat crop have been alarmed on account of
the dry weather, especially in Northen Da-
kota and Minnesota and the southern part of
Minnesota. This fear was very much modi-
fed yesterday by the reports from the differ
ent railroads. The Northern Pacific and the
Manitoba reported heavy rains all along the
lines OF their roads yesterday and the day be-
FORE The Omaha road reported similar
rain over most of its lines. 1t is now thought
that these rains have saved the crop, as they
have been general all over the Northwest. At
the same time the Milwaukee road reports
rain along the Hastings s. Dakota, the Iowa
u Minnesota and the river divisions.
