HOW COUNTY PAUPERS FARE
The Poor Farm.

Realizing that a correct story OF life
at the Douglas county poor farm could
not be secured by a cursory visit to the
institution when everything was On
dress parade, and being DESTROYS Of Civ
ing the public a chance to see the place
in its everyday aspects, THE BEE de-
tailed a reporter for a week, as a pauper,
Mt the poor farm. He was told to go
there as an inmate, see what was to be
seen, take notes, and then give the
readers of the paper the story OF his
visit. -
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PLACE
The institution is situated on Thirty
sixth street, just south of Poppleton
avenue, and is surrounded by large
grounds with plenty Of shade. The
building is an L-shaped% two-story brick,
with basement. The main part is occu-
pied principally by the superintendent,
j. j. Mahoney, and his family the south
side Of the basement being used as Ii
kitchen and dining room, the first floor
as living rooms, and in the second story
the south half is occupied by the pau
pers. Thirteen cots are crowded into
the room. The northeast corner of the
second floor aud front or east end of the
hall, are set apart for the resident ply
stefan, who, by the way, during the re-
porter's temporary residence there, was
n student named Yatas. The north
west corner of the main building on the
second floor is known as the nursery,
and in this were, as near as could be
learned, three women with babies rang
ing from three weeks to two months OF
age. The l. is occupied on the main
cells into which they are
locked at night. Nine women and
seven men are thus provided
for. On the second foor OF
the l. are two wards which are known
the male and female sick or hospital
wards. The female ward has accommo-
dation for twelve and was full. The
male ward is also provided with twelve
cots, which were occupied nearly all the
time. In the basement OF the l. are
rooms for the storage Of vegetables
milk-room, bread-room, meat-room and
the general kitchen where food is pre-
pared for the inmates. The north hal
OF the basement OF the main building /.
used as "a dining-room for the paupers
Immediately in the rear OF the building
is a one-story frame, in a rather delapl
dated condition, used as a laundry ant
bath house. A little to the south o
this is situated the coal house and mex
on the south is q small house, probabl.

The Auditorium Building.

Chicago Times: Eight of the zen
stories of the new Auditorium building
are now completed, and the other two
are we'll under way, being completed
on n front and we'll under way on the
others. When completed it will be one
Of the most impressive buildings in
Chicago, and the persons interested in
it will have one more reason to be proud
OF it than they have heretofore calcu-
lated on. 1t is likely to prove a paying
investment, whereas it was undertaken
purely as a public enterprise without
expectation of profit. The Auditorium
association has n capital Of 81 800 900,
OF which 81 $50 900 has been subscribed
for by $50 stockholders. E~ight-tenths
of this capital has been called in in
will be occupied by the Auditorium hall
and by a hotel, which will nearly have
four hundred rooms, and for other pur'
poses. The Wabash avenue front will
be made into offices, and it is under
stood that it will bring 80 per cent more
rental than was at first calculated on.
The original capital will not be suffi-
Gent to complete the building, and tits
proposed now to either increase it or tC
issue bonds. The total cost OF the build,
ing will be about s., 900 900 when ready
for occupancy.
The hotel has not yet been leased OF
named, but several parties are nego'
tiating for it. Banks say the bonds, il
issued, can be sold at par, and will be 6
gilt-edged investment, as they will have
81 800 900 behind them in cash, paid in
by the representative people OF Chi
cagO. The building will be completed
in about a year.

THE MILLS BILL PASSED THE
HOUSE.

The Mills bill, as reported from the
Committee of the Whole, passed the
House of Representatives Saturday by a
vote of 1872 to l49. Two Republicans,
Fitch of New York and Nelson Of Min.
nesota, and all the Independents, voted
for the bill, and three Democrats, Sow.
den of Pennsylvania and Greenman and
Bliss of New York, voted against it.
Woodburn of Nevada, who wanted the
tariff on lumber and fruits increased, did
not vote; he was paired.
The bill will now go to the Senate,
where it will doubtless be amended, il
the majority Of that body can agree, and
sent back to the House. Then a com
mittee Of free conference will be ap'
pointed by each House, and if they car
agree upon a compromise measure, which
is not at all probable, however, as th'
Senate will spend weeks discussing thu
bill, and it may, therefore. be assumed
that no act affecting the avenue or tax
alton will become a law at the present
session of Congress Silver State.
