terprise OF the big new opera house
for Amarillo, the proposition has
been made a certainty and this morn

prepared to put large force Of men
on the Job at once.
The amount OF the contract for
the construction is $4,000. The
lots for the building cost 10000 and
the seats for the play house and
some other fittings will bring the
cost OF the completed house up to
$4,000. Even this figure hardly
represents the value that the enter
prise will represent, The building

Among the fine business buildings
being erected In the city at the pres
ent time, one which is nearing COM
pletion, deserves especial mention for
the Importance 1t means 10 Amarillo
in the future.
Amarillo is great amusement
city, There being no parks, or groves
nearby, for the people to pass their
idle time In, they naturally most lib
orally patronize those amusements
provided for them At the present
time three amusement places are
running in the city, and are all fairly
well patronized,
The new building which is referred
to in this connection, is the new
theater rink and auditorium and
convention hall, being erected on
Taylor street opposite the Elmhirst
hotel, by Messrs, Denta & lsaacs, OF
the Famous store. The building is
of brick, covers 60x14O feet, the
walls running up about twenty feet
above the foundation. The front is
Of pressed brick, rising thirty feet,
and presents handsome front ap-
pearance. The main entrance to the
vestibule is fifteen feet. A small
store room will occupy each corner
of the front OF the building, where
refreshments and light articles will
probably be sold,
The stage of this theater is 30X60,
thirty-six feet in the clear, having a
drop curtain 2Ox34 and an absolutely
fire proof curtain to cut off the stage
when necessary. Undvf The stage are
sixteen dressing rooms, with lavora-
tories for the ladies and gentlemen.
The floor will be flat for use as
skating rink and dancing hall but
will seat 1000 people. The stage is
raised, giving good view to the spec
tators in front. The roof is support
ed by sections, as protection against
fire, as the posts Of each section
would have to burn off before the
roof could fall. The brick work OF
the walls OF the stage is carried up
two stories high, with a fire proof
hood, over the stage, made Of metallic
lath, and fire proof pulp plaster, be-
ing the best protection against fire.

was amply proved last night at the

Many people heard the concert and
the comments were very favorable

place for the concerts works against
the band and last night the director
was obliged to shorten the program
owing to the absence OF lights for the
musicians. The band played at the
corner OF Polk and Seventh street
beginning at 8 O'Clock and gave eight
numbers Of late and catchcy band

OPENING OF NEW CHURCH.
Over $4,000 Raised to Cancel Debt
Of $500.

Over $4,000 Raised to Cancel Debt
OF $500.
In realization OF the splendid des-
tiny of the Amarillo country, Am
arillo's churches united yesterday in
in services, the like OF which has
never before been seen here. The
"housewarming" of the big and
beautiful church building with which
the congregation of the Methodist
church have led the way On the rich
development of the city's opportuni-
ties was a great occasion and Amaril-
10 people responded to It in a great
spirit.
Cancel the Debt.
Not even the most sanguine OF the
church's friends we're prepared for
the offering that met the preachers
appeal for money to cancel the COM
paratively small remaining debt, The
building as It stands cost something
over $4,000 or this amount there
remained yesterday when the pastor
preached the first sermon in the
building $S,4OO unpaid. Yesterday
evening after the last subscription
had been counted up, 1t was found
that a total of s9,lO3 had been given
the church toward the cancellation
OF the debt and the completion of
the plans. This is 500 more than
the present outstanding debt of the
church, but, quite naturally, can very
readily be used The pipe organ
which Is now being built for the
church will cost $4,000 and addi-
tional chairs for the auditorium are
being added.
Crowded the Auditorium.
Before II o'clock yesterday morn
ing the doors OF the new church were
receiving steady stream Of people
for nearly an hour and at the dis
missal of 10 o'clock services at the
other churches the crowd greatly in
creased and the corps of ushers had
a big propositions in handling the
visitors. In spite of the fact that the
ushers we're almost as new to the
building MS the congregation, they
managed the crowd well and dlstrib-
uted 1t TO all parts of the audito-
rum so rs to utilize all available
room. In, respect to the request of
the pastor no children attended the
morning service but even then the
capacity was overtaxed and on the
lower floor, besides having the aisle
full of chairs, many people stood up.
No account was kept of the number
of people in the audience and 1t was
variously estimated up to 1000, but
100 would be a very conservative
estimate,

SWIPED THE PIPE
P. R. Nichols Gathered In by Police on
Petty LARCENY Charge.

Petty larceny, alleged to have been
committed under somewhat peculiar cir
cumstances is the charge which p. r.
Nichols will have TO answer in the police
court tomorrow. He went into A second
hand clothing store on Commercial
street al 1890 this morning and said
he wanted to buy a pair of overalls.
While the dealer was delving into the
depths of bale Of the stuff demanded.
Nichols took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to exercise his kleptomaniacal
proclivities by "copping briar pipe
and making off with the same. Officer
Kelly was notified by the disappointed
and disgusted Jewish gentleman who
conducts the place and in half a dozen
minutes the thief was in the tolls. The
pipe, together with the case in which it
reposes, would be valued by connois-
seur at, perhaps, ten cents. The penalty
for stealing it is anything from one day
to six months. The coucensus of opinion
among the night TRUSTEES at the city
jail is that Nichols took long chance.
