CHICAGO'S NEW THEATER.
A Splendid Structure Which VIII Bf
Devoted to the German Drama.

Devoted to the German Drama.
Chicago Tribune.
The new Schiller Theater, to be devoted
to the German drama, is built after the
skeleton system of steel construction and
rests on foundation of piliDg driven sixty
two feet below the street level. and covered
with more than 800 tons OF steel rails,
beams and plate girders. all embedded in
concrete of the frmest and most durable
kind. The foundation is solid one and IS
capable of sustaining the weight upon it II all
the soil surrounding it should be removed
The iron framework sustains the building
and the brick walls bear little weight be-
sides their own. The walls are firmly an
chored to the steel skeleton, insurng abso-
lutte stability. The architects agree that
the Schiller building will stand motlonless
during the ninety-nine years the ground IL
occupies is leased. The building when 1t is
finished will have cost 100000 Five hum
bred thousand dollars of this sum is paid by
the sale of 5000 shares in the German opera
house Company OF Chicago, the owners. ana
the remaining 100000 is paid for in 6 per
cent first mortgage bonds redeemable in
twenty wears An effort was made to pro-
vide Offices suitable for any class of tenants.
The basement will be rented for $1,000
year, the theater for S35, 600 and the club
rooms in the twelfth story for $1,000. Inc
other portions of the building are expected
to bring in revenue of about Sl03.-
600 year. All halls and corridors
have mosaic floors. Both Georgia
and Italian marble are freely used in
the stalrways and corridors. The decora-
tions are elaborate everywhere, the idea
being to provide a building that will be
modern and abreast of the time in all Its
details. The exterior appearance is hand
some and the adornment Of the interior IS
everywhere elaborate and attractive. The
building is heated with steam, lighted with
electricity, and every room in it has hot
and cold water, and there are fountains OF
filtered ice-water on every fl0or The aim
was 10 build structure that would be alb
solutely and unquestionably fireproof from

Mrs. Murdoc had one of her peculiar at
taeks the other DAY. She felt ii coming on

until her doclle spouse came home at 3
o'clock. when she got the word and started
off on kite-shaped track. She went to the
quarter without slip. turned into the back
stretch at a ball-beari Dg gait, passed the
three-quarter pole going smooth and was
coming down toward the wire like an old
campaigner when Mr. Murdoc, who was
feeling unusually brisk, attempted TO call
her back with mild protest. That started
her off again and she trotted another heat,
As she came up the stretch again the 0ld
man began to feel sort Of pneumatic tire

Berkeley is disturbed for when the STU

broke into the HofIburg Brewery early yes
terday morning. cracked the safe AMI
secured S175 They entered through the
Office window, scattered papers about and
carried the safe drawer a block away. The
explosion was so severe that 1t knocked the
pastering off the walls and blew the safe
door several feet away. A number Of peo-
pie living in the vicinity state that they
heard an explosion about o'clock, but did
not pay much attention to it, thinking that
it was perhaps blast at the ouarries.
Among them, however, was NJ j. Rastiller,
who was little suspicious of blasts so
early in the morning. He looked out of the
window and saw two men walking away
from the direction of the brewery.
The tools with which the work was done
consisted Of sledge, brace and a drill,
stolen from Casey's blacksmith-shop near
by.
The postoffiee was also broken into during
the same night, presumably by the same
persons. They did not touch the safe. but
took oil the money from the cash drawer,
amounting to only 81 %.
On the night before the depot of the
Berkeley station was broken into and a
small amount Of jewelry consigned to Wells,
Fargo ~ Co. was taken.
On the same night Carpenters saloon was
looted of a lot OF champagne and cigars.
The only clew so far is the statement OF
Dennis Landigan, that he saw two suspi-
cous-looking men hanging about town late
at night.

them as victims.
The strangest part of the Iightning's
antics was revealed when Farmer War
necker commenced to skin them for their
hides. He found that the animals had been
thoroughly barbecued and were cooked to
the center.
OF course, the hides under such conditions
were useless.
General Wagner states that the next time

WILSON IS KING!
Male and Hopkins Elected By
Coed Majority.
a Quiet Election-Oyer Fifteen
Hundred Votes Are Cast
Cecil Brown VIII Re
main a Private
Citizen.

The election is over and the re-
suit is not a surprise to people
when it is known how hard the
Doodle crowd worked for their can
didates. All day yesterday an
army of hacks was employed to
take voters to the polls, and during
the day henchmen of Wilson and
his gang could be seen plotting
voters TO the Legislative Hall
where clerks were in attendance to
receive payment for tax receipts ur
to the last moment.
There was no excitement during
the day, and a stranger would not
have realized that an important
,efeetfosr>was in progress.
The total vote cast exceeded the
estimate as made by many people
previous 10 the election, and
amounted to over fifteen hundred.
Many queer stories are told OF
open and successful attempts to
bribe voters, and yet not a single
arrest was recorded for any viola
ton of the election laws, and not
one man was apprehended for IL
legal voting, although n great deal
of the same was done by people
employed by the boodlers.
Promptly at 5 o'clock the polls
were closed, and the counting was
done expeditiously, and before 6
o'clock it was generally known
that Male and Hopkins had
carried the city by a handsome ma
jority.
At the Government Building,
where Chief Clerk Hassinger was
in waiting, the Inspectors of the
outside districts telephoned the
votes in their respective districts,
and all accounts were in favor OF
Waterhouse and Robinson, but
when the city returns commenced
to arrive it was a foregone conclu-
sion that Male and Hopkins were
elected.
There was very little challenging
done, and with the exception of a
street brawl now and then, the
election was carried on in a very
quiet manner.
Appended will be found the Off
cial returns:

the subject of articles in the
columns of the newspapers
with no apparent benefit.
What are you going to do
about it? Well tell you:
In New York City, they have
a contrivance for disinfecting
rooms and closets throughly
without any unpleasant odors.
In patent closets, where sewer
gas exists, the little machine
efectually counteracts any i'll
effect which may come from
the deadly gas. In the sick
room where the air becomes
heavy and infectious, the 900
nator' makes it as fresh and
pure as any you will find on
top of Mauna Loa. The Trans
Atlantic S. S. Cos. have them
in different parts of the vessels
and pronounce them the most
perfect disinfector known to
them. We would be glad to
sell you one Of them. You
will like it because it is an or
nament, you will value it be-
cause it will decrease your
chances of illness through de-
fective sewers. 1t is made OF
brass and glass; a liquid poured
into the glass receptacle is alb
sorbed by a wick and passes
by evaporation through the
perforations in a brass cylin-
der. No dirt, no unsightly
chemicals or unpleasant odors.

Monday, oct. 8, 1892.

In every city of any impor-
lance, there is always one
place where people go for
bargains. New York has its
Macy's, Philadelphia boasts Of
Wanamaker's and Chicago of
Marshall Fields, while the Bos-
tonese will tell you that in
Jordan Marsh Co. you have
the quint essence of perfect
stores. These few stores do
the business of their respective
localities, each one throwing
out its grapnal for suburban
trade. 1t cannot be said either
of them does the business of
the country or even the State.
How much greater it is when a
certain store, ours for instance,
does the business of an entire
Kingdom. Yet that is just
what we do. If the man who
lives so close to the volcano
that he can expectorate into
the crater wants anything he
writes to us; if you or your
neighbour here in Honolulu
want any thing, you telephone
to us or come down to the
store where you find statesmen
specially employed to wait on
people who come in to admire,
to inquire or to buy. The
reputation we have made dur
ing the past three years for
keeping superior lines of goods
warrants your ordering of us
without having to visit us at
all-you're willing to rely upon
us. When we tell you we
have a novelty, your mind is
made up at once that it is a
good thing and you want it.
