THE NEW OLYMPIC.
The East Seventh Street Theater
{. in Shape for the Season.

The East Seventh Street Theater
& in Shape for the Season.
The new Olympic theater, which now
stands completed on the site formerly
occupied by the crazy old structure
which for many years did duty as head
quarters for theatrical variety in this
city, is very handsome little house,
and speaks we'll for the enterprise of
the genial Col. Conley. The seating ca
pacity of the new house is 1900; the ex-
treme height inside 50 feet, and
stage dimensions, 50x30 feet to the cur
tain. There are nine dressing rooms
below the stage, and aside from the
stage are two others for the
stars. The frescoing of the interior
is elaborate and beautiful, and
altogether the new house is very
pretty one. The new theater will be
opened Monday evening, Aug. 10, the
attraction at the opening being Mile.
Ormand's Midnight Matinee company.
The drop curtain is being painted by
che well-known scenic artist. Charles
F. Thompson. A new departure in the
conduct of variety theaterS will be the
Thursday evening performance at the
new theater That evening will be set
apart each week as ladies day, and
upon that day no liquors will be sold in
the building, the intention being to
make it possible for Ladies' to witness
the presentation of variety entertain
ment of character upon which the
most prudish may gaze without blush.

hard play for him." as Republican
phrased it. The war between Davis
and Washburn has quieted down be-
cause it has been decided to allow Dis
trict Attorney Baxter to complete his
term, and meantime Gene Hay and Hal
vor Stevenson preserve an outward
show of friendship. Adolph Biermann,
in the interest of Scandinavians and
civil service. will also remain for the
balance Of his term, leaving Damien
hover, Silth and Marcus johnson,
backed respectively by Davis, Wash
burn and Window, to bite their nails
and await the outcome of time.
1t might be incidentally mentioned,
by way of conclusiOn-a sort of walnuts
to this political menu-that when the
proper time comes to inaugurate the
Window boom for senator, Tim ByrneS
is run for state senator from the Fifth
ward district of Minneapolis, and have
charge of the campaign. 1t may Just

RUNG BY MACHINERY.


three of these weights in all, one weigh
ing 1900 pounds for working ''Dr. David
Day.'' another weighing $500 pounds,
for the four bells constituting the
chimes, and third weighing 200
pounds, for the working of the clock.
Each weight has run of fifty-eight
feet, and is wound up once a week.
The clock, with the exception Of the
Centennial clock, in Philadelphia, is the
largest chime clock in the United States,
and was built by the Seth Thomas Clock
company of Thcmaston, Conn, expressly
for the Centennial exhibition. The cost
of it, including the bells, was little
short of $4,000 and is considered by the
court house commission as cheap at
that.
A GLOBE reporter climbed up into
the tower yesterday, and remained
while the hour of 10 was struck. First
the chimes tangled out sixteen notes,
as clear and sweet as though struck on
a piano. Then the huge hammer on
the "Dr. David Day. descended, and
the big clock told the hour of noon.
When the latter bell was struck the
very tower seemed to shake, but, des-
pite the intense vibrations, there was
music in that volume of sound which
hurtled itself over the entire city
and awakened the echoes away
up the river. At the quarter
hour four notes are struck; at the half,
eight; at the three-quarters,t twelve, and
at the even hour sixteen. The West
minister chime" is familiar to every
Englishman, and was first used by the
founder of the bells in Westminster
Abbey. This founder was in love with
Handel's music, and conceived the idea
of using some of it in his Ginning bells.
The English people became so much
enamored with the music of the West
minister Abbey bells that the West
minister chime was adopted as the
ing. So that listening to the
forty notes struck on the bells each
hour eight changes and forty bars OF
Handers music are heard. No tune is
played, simply rhythmic strain from
Handel. If four more smaller bells

eter, are on the four sides Of
the top of the tower. about 200
feet from the ground. On the floor
below are the bells, five ponderous
metal domes; the one below that the
clock machinery, and on the one below
or the fourth story of the hall proper
hang the weights that make the wheels
go round. The machinery of the
clock is of too intricate nature to ex-
plain fully, and as the saying goes, ut
must be seen to be appreciated The
bells are all stationary, and are struck,
by ponderous hammers. worked from
below by levers. The bells are tuned
in the keys of "a" 3D." "g," Sd" and
&c" "b'' weighs 700 pounds. "a"
LOCO pounds; ''g," 1850 pounds; ID.
$500 pounds and &C." the father OF
them all weighs $3.50 pounds. This
latter bell is called "Dr. David Day."
and has that name engraved on its
bronzed surface. "Dr. David Day" is
the bell Oh which is struck the hour,
and en- the smaller ones the chimes.
The hammer which strikes the side of
"Dr. David Day" and causes it to belch
forth the 'hourS O. day" In hollow,
brazen, yet melodious tones, is some
what of curiosity itself, as it weighs
a hundred pounds all told, and raises a
height of two feet before it comes
laundering down.
Oh, hollow bell.
Oh, horrid knell.
That tolls the hour OF doom.
oh, fearful leaden tongue.
Oh, dreadful brazen mouth,
Which clangs the doom of shrinking souls.
The hammers for the other bells range
from forty pounds up, according to the
weight of the bell. The clock is worked
by weights, made up of iron disks
Weighing 1875 pounds each. There are

IRRIGATION.

The United States Senate Com
mittee on Irrigation is to hold a
SESSION in Carson on the 18th inst.
State Surveyor General Jones, who
10 DESTROYS OF Impressing the Com
mittee with the importance of irri-
CATION, issued q circular letter to
the Board OF Commissioners Of the
several couaties, suggesting that
meetings OF citizens be held and
persons selected to prepare and pre-
sent statements OF the irrigating
systems of their representative To-
calities to the Senate Committee.
In accordance with this suggestion,
the Beard of Commissioners re-
solved to allow the expenses of
three persons, to be selected from
Paradise Valley, Winnemucca and
vicinity and Lovelocks, to present
the claims OF their respective sec
tons and OF the whole country TO
the Committee. As there is no
time to lose IN this matter, the clti-
zens Of the several sections should
meet at once, and, if they deem
such q course advisable, select men
to 20 to Carson. 1t is not probable
that this immediate section of the
Humboldt Valley will derive much
benefit from the proposed system
of irrigation for many years to
come, it ever, as Congress will not
be likely to appropriate money to
build reservoirs and store water to
reclaim lands owned by corpora
items or individuals. but the ex-
pense of sending three representa-
tive men to Carson would not be
very much, and possibly some ben
eft to the county may result from
it. A comprehensive system of
water storage could be made to re.
claim thousands upon thousands o.
acres OF land in the valleys of the
Humboldt and its tributaries, but
to accomplish this the railroad
would have to be removed from the
canyons where dams for reservoirs
could be built, and much land now
owned by private individuals would
have to be condemned for public
use and purchased from its owners.

In speaking OF the recent eieCt!on
at Salt Lake, the Tribune says:
Is it not immense? The Gen.
trail Stake of Zion, on the popular
vote, has gone from fifty up to
perhaps one hundred Liberal. 1t
is day that when we predicted
its coming a few years ago, men
tapped their foreheads and shook
their heads most piteously. We
fully believe that the majesty of
the Republic would after awhile
assert itself; we believe that even
as the thief on the cross repented
at last, sense of justice would
at last pelyade Mormonism itself.
The victory yesterday was not won
wholly by Gentiles. The quick
sand conclence and expanding
Americanism in many a young
Mormon's heart helped to swell the
glory of yesterday. Taat fact
doubles the sweetness of the trl-
umph, for looking forward it is not
vain now to hope that the time is
not so very far away when the
Territory will be Americanized
indeed. The late campaign was 4
good experience for the city to
have. 1t has been asleep for forty
years, and politically men CROPPED
like sleep walkers. Tho campaign
broke the spell of somnambulism,
and 1t will never again obtain
sway here. The campaign was
but a preliminary skirnish, but
those in it understood its signifi-
canoe. 1t was but a fight In the
outer works. but the object was to
obtain the right position for storm
ing the main citadel in February,
and the position was won. The
enemy feel as Bragg felt when
Hooker's cannon began to thunder
on Lookout Mountain, and in
mighty refrain the guns of Howard
and Thomas in the center and OF
Sherman, far off on the extreme
left, began to roar. The present is |
all right and AL the omens for the |
future are good. No wonder men
are mad with happiness. 1t is an

things have passed away.
