Air Away. Pure ana Fresh.

Each fan is so arranged that 1t can be
turned on or off. either from a central To-
cation or at the fan itself. II It is found
that there is too much air circulating, by
touching a little lever on the base of the
fan. the speed is cut down and the fan
made to run with a slower motion.
In addition to these fifty-three oscillating
fans, there are in the basement lunch room
two pedestal gyrofans. These fans revolve
in a plane just about eight feet from the
floor, throwing the air in every direction
from the center OF the room. This is the
first installation OF this nature in Omaha,
and has proven a great success.
Upon opening the lunch room to the pub
lie, Mr.. Hanson found that the end toward
the steam table. where the heat is the
greatest, was not sufficiently ventilated.
The company was thon instructed to install
a 60 Inch ventilatirg fan in the wall of the
building, to draw the air out into the alley.
On the top floor of this restaurant are
two gigantic Sturtevant ventilating devices
consisting of enormous paddle wheels, one of
which is constantly drawing out the foul air
from the building and throwing It up through
the roof; the other is constantly drawing
the fresh air in from the outside. This
second machine is so arranged that the air
is drawn in through a spray OF water,
which is used to purify and cool the air.
The PianOrchestra on the landing be-
tween the first and second floor, is automat-
ically operated by an electric motor. On the
first floor there is a switch to turn on the
motor, which runs until the roll OF music
is finished. A device in the organ then
breaks the contact and the motor stops.
Alongside the switch on the first floor is a
little push button. BY merely pressing this
button, contact is made through a mercury
cup, and the organ then plays another Sc
lection.
On the third floor OF fine building. where
most OF the work is done. is located a dish
washing room. The dishes are all washed
by electricity. and then placed on the spe-
cially constructed Mathews gravity carrier,

reputation, having been In the same position
at Rector's, Chicago. for eight years, and
having opened Rector's famous New York
cafe. He was recommended to Mr.. Han
son by men who have studied cafe service
from every angle, and has proved himself
equal to his reputation.
It has been Of the highest Importance that
such a man should be in such a place, for
as regards the kitchen department the
chef is 'the cook OF the Nancy brig, the
mldshlpmite and the bosun tight and the
crew Of the captains gig" A visit to the
chefs department is worth the while Of
anyone who is interested in a proposition
complex in scope and almost infinitely de-
tailed, with the whole problem so thought
out that ~"clockwork" is not a precise
enough term to describe It.

Impossible for Food to Spoil.

In the basement of the building, in a
room especially designed for its operation.
is installed the machinery for the refrig-
Grating plant. which was built by the Lar
sen-Baker Refrigerating Machine company
Of Omaha and is one OF the most scientific
ever constructed by this company. This
plant is operated by two moto-s. One of
these is a twenty-five-horse power ma
chine, the other is a three-horse power.
In addition to the refrigerating system,
motors are used in this building for freez-
ing Ice cream. washing potatoes. cutting
Ice. cubes, etc.
Upon entering the building from Sixteenth
street the eye is Immediately caught by the
artistic effect of the Nernst electric lights
conferred in the panels OF the ceiling. From
these lights the eye turns to the soft light
ing effect of the brackets located over each
table, along the wall, and then to the ar
tistic Newell posts. at the foot OF the stairs;
all of which are arranged with the desire
OF blending light and colors, and producing
the most harmonious effect.
In the cafe, on the second floor, each ia
BILE in the booths along the wall is equipped
with an individual lamp. Around the art
glass dome, equidistant. are studded
frosted lamps, and above the art glass are
installed more lamps to show the colors in
the beautiful dome. At each end OF the
dome is hung a crystal glass chandelier;
each is a~work Of art. Nernst lights make
the interior always as bright as day and
are used throughout the building.
No visitor. unless absolutely devoid OF
aesthetic taste, could fail to remark the
cabinet work on the three floors and on the
grand stairway. Credit FOR this is due the
Brunswick-Balke- Collender company, which
in the selection Of the material showed the

room.
On the first floor L'Art Nouvcau decora-

been admirably carried out by the decora-
tive artists on the staff Of the Orchard g.

parent colors, the walls in old ivory decor
atoms in Sea green and pink.
The iron newell posts and the balustrades
/. leading up and around the grand stair
case are painted and finished In Tiffany
Vert Antique, with a mahogany hand rail.
The furniture for these rooms, serving
NPbles and buffets. were especially made
o. Austrian bent wood and imported into
this country by the Miller. Stewart 8
Beaton company Of Omaha. They are the
same as those used in the fine banquet
room at the Auditorium In Chicago.
The main banquet room on the second
floor is beautifully proportional. The
ceiling Is laid out in panels with prima
vera wood beams. while the panels are
beautifully trescoed by hand In the Em-
pire period style. IN the walls above
. the wainscoting Is q mural fresco Of wood
land scenery and landscapes painted by
hand In soft grey tones.
The general woodwork and furniture IL
mahogany with . mosaic floor. Leading
q from the banquet room is the Pompeiian.
In this room the decorator has displayed his
: utmost skill as an artist, and the Orchard
G. Wilhelm company are deserving of vast
praise for carrying their work to
such perfection The wall panels are
a reproduction of a room in Pompsii
treated in perspective with purely Roman
colors and tending TO enlarge the room.
The stained glass windows are carried out
in the same period, while the drapery and
hangings were especially selected to help
TO subdue the classic colors. The ma
hogany furniture was also made from spe-
clal designs submitted by Miller. stewarV
& Benton company.

This is connected with a motor which is con-
trolled from a switchboard. The operator
given the signal, starts the motor. The
dishes are then carried up an incline, run
around through to the dish hoist, which
is operated by a second motor, and then
carried down to the first floor, or base
ment; whichever location has been sig
nailed, and then unloaded. A similar mode
of operation is pursued in sending the
dishes up from the basement, or from
either the first or second floors. This Is
the only device of the III installed in
Omaha.
In another room, on the third floor, Is
located a motor which is SO arranged that
1t may be run at any speed desired. This
machine is used TO make all the ice cream
served in the restaurant. Another machine
Is used to mash all the potatoes which are
served. Another to clean the silverware
and polish and sharpen the knives.

Story of the Panax.

Naperies were furnished through Thomas
Fitzpatrick 81 Co. of this city. About one
year ago Mr.. Hanson asked for samples
and bids, and after close competition with
some of the largest concerns In the country,
an order was given for a sufficient quantity
to meet the needs of the new cafe and res
taurant. Among the samples submitted
was a lovely 'pansy'' pattern made by a
very large and old concern whose factory
and bleachery are at Dumfernline. Scot
land. Nothing but high grade pure flax
was used and every one OF the more than
1900 pieces was bleached on the grass. Mr..
Hanson exhibited splendid taste in selecting
the "pansy" design. for it is eminently fit
ting and appropriate that the flower which
signifies Thoughts should have been
worked into the snowy linen to cover the
tables in this exquisite caravanserai, which
will fill the minds of the thousands of
guests who will have the good fortune to
sit at the tables. There is a pretty story
told of the pansy flower blooming shyly
in the glade. 1t is said that a little singing
bird was attracted by the delicate perfume
which crept out from the shadows of a tall
leaf which hid the flowers from view. As
he walked under the leaf he spied the pur-
pie and gold of its blossoms and flew out
to sing to all the world of it's sweetness.

the cafe was filled by the Brandeis store,
and it was the largest single order of table
linens ever executed by an Omaha house.
The design for these linens was conceived
by Brandeis' own artist. and the best linen
weavers in the old world executed the work
faultlessly. The q\llity of the linen thread
used in the weaving is Of a very superior
grade.
The chatting dishes and various access
series used in the cafe were supplied by T.
L. Combs & Co, and are OF the most mod
srn make and utility for fine cafe use. The
clocks are electric, self-winding and of the
latest improved and strongest construction,
which require no wiring into the building
from any outside source Of current. They
are the most accurate electric timepieces
manufactured and are equipped for the OPP
GRAFTON of electrical secondary clocks and
automatic time stamps, which synchronize
every minute, showing an accurate indica-
tion of time to the minute constantly, on
which orders can be timed from the mo-
ment of giving to the moment of serving,
saving the v~exation of time disputes and
measuring the different services exactly as
wanted. This system is a decided innova-
ton In Omaha and the entire west.
