Some time later Mr.. Maxim received
an order for an expensive pattern Of

IN GREEN CATHEDRAL AISLES.

Within the green cathedral aisles
The winds are whispering 'mong the
leaves,
And natures face is wreathed in smiles.
The sunlight in mosaic weaveS
A gorgeous pattern meath our feet,
And summer days are fair and sweet.
No pride or pomp in Mammon's piles
Can match these old cathedral aisleS.
The birds are chanting songs of praise,
And music murmurs in the trees,
For in these quiet woodland ways
The choristers are birds and bees;
The flowers with incense fill the air,
And natures priests her vestments wear.
In forest, free from human guiles,
Are rear'd these grand cathedral aisles.
The city teens with restless life,
And tapering steeples bear the cross
A symbol of the Christians strife
Through all the years of gain and loss.
So ever upward point the trees
And wave their plumes in every breeze,
To lure the wandeTer miles and miles
Within the green cathedral aisles.

MEANS BUSINESS.
Mayor Hardin and Assoc ates Will
Build the Opera HoOse.

We were permitted to examine
the architects plan for the new
opera house, in its embryo state of
building, and can say we we're
agreeably pleased at the plan. The
opera house, when completed will
seat between 1000 and 1900 people
comfortably.
There will be parquette, dress
circle, and two balconies besides
buzzard roost and double boxes on
each side of the stage. The en-
trance doors will be 10 feet wide
with a foyer of 20 feet, clear of the
box Office. There is to be a smok-
ing room for the gentlemen and a
parlor for the ladies, cloak rooms,
etc. The building will be fifty feet
high from lower floor to ceiling in
the auditorium and 80 feet from
stage deck to floor.
All modern conyeniences for
handling of scenery will be put in
and nothing is left uhdone to make
it a modern theatrical building,

crossed over from the city hall to

wagons unloading brick, and several
scrapers taking out dirt to get down

This all looks like business to us
and we can safely venture to say
that by the time of the 1900 seasen
opens, the new opera house will be
ready for occupancy.
