scheme has been used in the most noted
hall of the age, namely, that at Bay
ruth, where the great Wagner festivals
are held.
The acoustic properties will also be
enhanced by the addition of the venti-
lating system, which has been partially
developed in the Metropolitan opera
house. This consists in Introducing
large quantities of air in at the front,
making a constant current Gmpercepti-
bic to the audience) and taking it out in
the rear, thus assisting in carrying the
sound of the speaker TO the farthest
seat. Not only does this design provide
for large audience. but allows an ar
rangemeut whereby it may be reduced
by sliding partitions so as to form halls
that will seat 1900 or 5000. The par
quette can be easily converted into
dancing floor for the use of charity
balls. fairs. etc., leaving large corridors
and flyers to be used In connection with
it, and providing all the cOnveniences
for such large social gatherings, which
are becoming so popular in large cities.

in this respect is better than any thea

Fhe Sequel OF a Divorce Obtained
in Ten Minutes.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 21.-A de-
cree was today granted Florence c.
CuthbertsOn from Sydney f. Cuthbert-
son, a real estate dealer of Chicago.
The case is in some respects a most re-
markable one. In 1886 the plaintiff was
married to William Douglas, broker of
ChicagO.and the TWO lived happily until
about q year ago. when Douglas found
in his wife'S writing desk a number of
warm letters written by CuthbertsOn.
Douglas hired lawyer, Isaac Adams,
and the TWO called Mrs. Douglas into
Adams office Mrs. Douglass admitted
the letters, but said she had not been
intimate with Cuthbertsou. Adams said
it was all right, and Mrs. Doug
las went home. Two days lat
or she was called before Judge
Horton, ana in fifteen minutes divorce
was granted Douglas. CuthbertsOn
testified to criminal intimacy between
himself and the woman. The plaintiff
says no papers had been served upon
her. and she did not know what had
been done until the decree was granted.
Judge Horton told Cuthber,sOn that
he must marry Mrs. Douglas within
tWenty-fOur hours or 90 to the peniten-
tiary, but Mrs. Douglas was told by her
husbands lawyer that she must marry
Cuthbertson or go to Jail for five ysars"
The woman begged and pleaded, and
agreed to leave Chicago forever if she
could be spared The marriage. Adams
and Douglas insisted, and the marriage
accordingly occurred at 3 o'clock the
next morning at Racine. Wis. The
plaintiff has never lived with Cuthbert-
son IS his wife, though she occupied the
same house with MIN for four months.
The plaintiff is about twenty-three
years of age. and one Of the most beau
riful members OF the colony. She has
left for Chicago.

terday afternoon in celebrating upon
the comparative excellence of the
sketches prepared by competing archi-
tects. il was not because Mr.. Reeds
plans contemplate the least expenditure
of money, but because Assemblyman
Oppenheim is imoued with implicit con-
fidence in Mr.. Reeds practicability and
experience in theatrical architecture
Mr.. Oppenheim has devoted almost
his exclusive time and energies to
the auditorium project since it
was first agitated. He engaged
Mr.. Reed to draft the first and only
plans that had been considered up to
yesterday, and it was these plans that
were taken to Washington by St.
Paul's delegation that interviewed the
national executive committee nearly a
month ago. Since then Mr.. Reed has
been assiduously engaged in simplifying
the plans, and Mr.. Oppenheim feels
that he has justified an election as the
architect of the structure.
There we're five competing architects.

This was John II. Coxhead. He had

a verbal recital OF what he thought can

had not even figured out the cost, and
he was politely informed by the com
mittee that il would be i'm
possible to entertain his propo-
sitiOn, as no delay can be
suffered in getting the structure under
way. as it must be completed by June
next. Mr.. Coxhead asked for day or
two to give a practical demonstration,

The first floor seats 6,214, the Tirst gaI-

making total of 14,314. The Derma-

A NEFARIOUs TRADE,

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-The depart
ment of agriculture announces that in
spectOrs on Long Island unearthed an
abbatOir at Newton creek, devoted en-
tirely to the slaughter of broken-down.
crippled horses. Many of these horses
were diseased and some had the CLAN
ders. Most of the beef was cOrned and
put up for export as family beef. The
secretary of agriculture wired the in
spector of ports of shipment TO stop
such exports Immediately and notify the
local board of health.
One dealer. learning this. changed
his label. and undertook to ship some of
the stuff abroad as horse meat, under
the impression he could thus evade the
bureau inspectors. Secretary Rusk,
however. did not propose to permit the
intent Of the law to be thus baked, and
he is advised today that the chief in
SpectOr at New York has seized the en-
tire lot of seventy-five tierces and
turned il over to the Offal dock. The
official record in the bureau of animal
industry shows that this nefarious in
dustry has been carried on for some
time in a secret fashion. Secretary
Rusk is determined to use all the power
at his command to put stop, once and
for all, to this abOminable traffic.

WATER RIGHTS DECIDED.
A Kaukauna Water Power Com
pany Loses a Suit.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The court
affirmed the decision of the circuit court
of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, in the
case of the Kaukauna Water Company
ct al, plaintiffs in error, VS.. The Green
Bay and Mississippi Canal Company.
This is a suit arising over the improve
ment of the Fox and Wisconsin rivers.
4 dam was built and the Kaukauna
Water company, representing an owner
of riparian rights on lands adjoining
dam built for the improvement of the
rivers navigation, sought to make cut
in the dam TO get water from the canal
company, which holds title from the
state, claiming that the owner had not
received compensation, and had been
deprived of property without due pro-
cess of law.
The court rules that the dam was
built for public purposes; that the state
had right TO declare that the surplus
water arising from the improvement of
the rivers belonged TO the state, and
that as the owner of the adjoining land
did not avail himself of the provision
made by congress for damages to per-
sons injured by the improvement of the
river, the water power company can
not now, after twenty-five years have
elapsed. claim the land because of fail
ure TO receive compensation.
