In place of the damp, windowless, i'll
smelling rooms under the basement or
scenery, the Orpheum Circuit company,
as is its custom, has builded in connec-
ton with the Minneapolis Orpheum,
three tiers Of dressing-rooms, each
opening onto the stage thru double fire.
opening onto the outer world, each hav-
ing hard maple flooring and each pro-
vided with modern plumbing
Leading to these rooms from the
stage floor are iron staircases, leading
on iron galleries. Iron fire escapes,
which are complete stairways also, and
supposed to descend from old time
burning buildings lead from the dress
ing-room windows to the ground on each
side Of the theater. To complete the
safeguards about the Orpheum COM
panies which will play here-and many
of these carry thirty or more people
the dressing-rooms are in section of
the building outside the main structure

comfort of the actors and thereby in
creasing their self-respect and their
ability to entertain, the builders are
preparing to give each dressing-room
electric plates for heating the make
ups and electric hair curriers' for those
who affect wigs or have any feminine
vanity about them.
Double Lighting System.
The theater will be lighted with both
electricity and gas. The wiring is the
best known to modern structural sci
ence and the fixtures are part and par
eel of the decorative scheme, the ex-
cellence Of which is guaranteed by the
man given this portion of the work to
execute. The front Of the theater will
be a blaze of electric light after night
fall each day in the year, and in place
of the old-style cards announcing the
different turns-and changes between
each turn being made by a much
cheered and greatly embarrassed small
boy-electric announcers on the right

Builder Knows His Business.

Superintendent Henderson g first re-
port to the company was so favorable
that the management has taken unusual
interest in the progress of the construc-
ton and preparations for opening Of
the Minneapolis Orpheum. Orders were
given to the architects, KEGS & Colburn,
to conform absolutely with the city or
dinance covering theater construction
and even to 90 beyond it's limitations in
providing for the safety Of the theater-
goers. After the completion of the
foundation work. G.. E. Bray Of
New Orleans, manager Of the st.
Charles theater, was sent on to SUI
perintend the superstruction. When
the time approached for reopen
ing the New Orleans theater Mr.. Hen
derson relieved Mr.. Bray and has for
the past two months rushed the theater
to completion. In fact Mr.. Henderson
holds record for theater construction
and is giving Oscar Hammerstein of
New York chase for first place as a
rapid theater builder. He has just com
pleted playhouse in New York on

CHIEF ENGINEER A SUICIDE.
Lieutenant Commander Warburton

Lieutenant Commander Warburt0n
 of the Maine Shot Himself.
 PENSACOLA, Fla, April 2.-Lieu- tenant Commander Edgar Townsend Warburton, chief engineer of the bat tleship Maine, now in this harbor. has committed suicide in his cabin on board that vessel. A bullet from a 3S caliber revolver was sent through his brain, and death resulted within forty minutes afterward. The executive off, cer of the ship was passing the door of Commander Warburton's cabin when he was startled by the report of re- volver within.
 The bullet after passing through the brain came through the door and struck the rail of the ship, barely miss ing the executive officer. The latter notified the other officers, and the door of the commanders cabin was forced open. He was lying on the floor in pool of blood, and the revolver was grasped in his right hand. The sur geon of the ship endeavored to stop the flow of blood without result The flagship was signaled, and the fleet surgeon responded, but the command CT expired shortly after his arrival
 No cause is known for the officer committing the rash act. He appeared to be in the best of health and spirits and within few weeks would have been assigned to shore liberty. Many of the officers expressed the belief that death was the result of an accident and that the commander did not com init suicide Commander Warburton had been with the Maine since that vessel was placed in commission. He was formerly on the Indiana.
 The body will be shipped to Phiiadel- phia, where his wife resides.

Captain of the Discovery Interview.
 ed at Christchurch, New Zealand.
 CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand April 2-On the arrival of the Lyttle. ton antarctic expedition here Captain R. +. Scott, R. N, of the Discovery or being introduced said: "The winter o1 1903 passed pleasantly, and the mem. bers of the expedition enjoyed much greater comfort than in 1902. Sledg. ing operations began in September un. der very severe conditions owing to extremely low temperature, which fire. quently fell below 60 degrees Tn No vember one party. reached a point 16C geographical miles southeast of the ship.
 There was no trace of land, and evidence was obtained showing that this was vast floating ice plain.
 Captain Scott, with another party. made two excursions westward in Oc- tober over glacier. They gained the summit Oct. Il and crossed the mag netic meridian Oct. 20 in longitude 1551s east. Proceeding still westward the party reached a point 27O miles from the ship in latitude 7S, south longitude 1461a east. The interior of South Victoria is evidently vast con- tinental plateau stretching continuous ly for 0,Oo0 feet. The glacier valley affords magnificent scenery and gives a natural geological section of the mountains.
 "In the middle of December the par ty attempted to cut a canal through the ice, which was from seven to eight feet thick, but the effort was futile owing to constant refreezing, and the party desisted. The open water was then seventeen miles from the ship.
 We arrived at Auckland island March 15 with only ten tons of coal in our bunkers. The Terra Nova and the Morning joined US March 20. after ex- perfencing terrible weather. The short age of coal alone compelled our early return i"

POSTOFFICE ORDERS.
New Rural Delivery Routes--Pension
 Bills--The Lake Boat.
(special to Democrat.l ]

Washington, April 2.-The postofice department has advised Congressman Henry that rural free delivery will be established at Warehouse Point. Hart ford county, to commence on AIonday, May 2, with one carrier. The route will be south to East Windsor hill and thence to Scantic and the eastern part of the town of East Windsor. The length of the route will be about twen- ty-three miles and population of 600 will be served daily.
 The postoffice department has de cided to send an inspector to Bark hamstead, with view of Investigating the star route service. to Center Hill and other parts of the town of Hart land.
 Orders have been issued by the de, partment relative to the new rural de livery route at South Glastonbury, which goes into effect April 15. The carrier will leave the post office at S:15 a. m., returning to the same office at 2:15 Similar orders have been fs- sued for the new route at Wethers- field, but the carrier will leave the office at 7:30 a. m., returning at D. m
 The house to-day passed a number of pension bills, and once more cleared the docket. It is reported that this will be the last day during the present session for considering pension bills, but the chairman of the committee hopes to get one more to pass bills that have already been acted upon by the senate.
 Among the bills passed was one granting a pension of $50 per month to Daniel W. Graham of Portland, who served in Company D, Twentieth Con- necticut Volunteers. This bill was iIl- troduced by Congressman Sperry. An other Connecticut bill was in behalf which grants her a pension of SIP per month. Mrs Morley is the, widow of Samuel Mercy of Company D, Twenty first Connecticut Volunteers. A third bill was in behalf of Warren McCrack- en of New London, who served in the navy. He is granted pension of $50 per month. The last two bills were introduced by Congressman Brandegee.
 Among the visitors at the capital are: Norman B. Gregory of Stamford, at the National; Mrs James Allyn, Mrs John T. Allyn and Mrs William Sliney of New Haven, at the Shoreham.
 The conferees on the fOrtiication bill had an extended meeting this morning to discuss the bill before them. The principal item of controversy re lates to the appropriation for the Lake submarine torpedo boat. which was added in the senate, and which is ng fought hard in the house. The senate members of the committee still insist on their amendment. while the house members just as strenuously oppose 1t. It is probable, however, that the item will in the end be knocked out. This action will be taken chiefly at the in stance of the army and navy joint board, who claim that this matter be longs to the navy department and should be under their direction. Cap tain Lake is confident, however that if this is done the navy department will take the matter up next session and do something with his boat. The captain is still in Washington, and in tends to stay and see the fight out He has been greatly encouraged this ses- sion and is assisted on all occasions by Congressman Hill and Senator Platt
