NEW ORPHEUM
IS UP-TO-DATE
At the request of J. B. Caro and ;
Chas. E. Hooker, owners of the new
Orpheum theatre now nearing com
petion. The Empire today inspected
the building.
Beginning with the foundation first
it was determined that the piling
which constitute the first part are
driven in the sea bottom, but so near I
inshore as to be immune from the ter
redo. The timbers resting on the pil
ing are free from contact with other
adjoining structures making the
building practically Independent in
this respect The floor had stacks of
cement and sand piled in several
spots which demonstrate the sound
ness of the underpinning. Two large
door ways each 6x6 feet with doors
opening outward give ingress and
egress from the Main street front. Be-1
tween the entries the box office win
dow opens on the street
'mere is a augm ?iupc icaum6
the vestibule to either entrance and
a gentle slope of the floor to the stage.
A row of heavy Iron pillars on each
side support the celling of the thea
tre proper.
The motion picture operator's room
Is directly over the box office. ThlB
room Is metal lined, all of the joints
being hammered rather than solder
ed. A large tube leads to the outside
of the building to carry away fumes
in case of an accidental fllm Are in
the room. An electric switch Is at
hand, but In case a plug blows out,
stepping outside the operator can
throw on the lights from the main
switch board.
Facing the stage to the left a large |
exit Ib provided with the door open-j
ing outward on a wide alley or court
leading to Main stret The stage Is
broad and with ample provision for
dressing rooms and stage property.
Opening outward from the stage an
other large door gives exit to a large
court in the rear of the building con
nected with the alley Just mentioned.
From the stage alBO electric switches
control the lights of the theatre.
Underneath the stage with a door
opening on the alley referred to, is
a sAall concrete room in which is lo
cated the boiler and heating plant
?~:TT ??????? 7777.1
of the building. The entire building
Is steain heated. The chimney from
the heating plant Is built of brick
sewed to the building with steel wires
imbedded in the cement mortar. The
electric wiring is all in place and was
installed under the regulations pre
scribed by Sowerby & Bell for the in
surance underwriters.
The upper floor of the building has
been laid off into living or sleeping
apartments and like the theatre is
steam heated throughout. A broad
ball traverses the entire upper floor
opening onto a large porch to the
rear from which stairs lead to the
ground floor.
At the present time the entire build
I ing has the plumbing and electric
wiring all in place and is lathed ready
for the fire-proof plaster with which
it is to be finished.
The arrangement of the theatre 13
Buch that about 400 can be comfort
ably seated. The lineB seem to in
dicate that when finished, the new
playhouse which is under lease to
Spickctt & Mclver, will have a very
pleasing appearance.
DISTRICT COURT.
Immediately after the arraingment
of the soldiers Jimmy Jackson (In
dian) went to trial on charge of sell
ing liquor to other Indians. Follow
ing compose the Jury: Joseph Beau
champ, E. J. Doherty, J. J. Kosan
koff, C. E. Carpenter, Ed. Woods,
Frank Wilson, Wnltcr Bathe, Harry
Ashball, S. H. Yeomans, L. T. Merry.
W. H. McBlain, W. E. Elwell.
FURNITURE FOR
GOVERNOR'S MANSION.
A good part of the furnishings for
the governor's new mansion is now
at the city dock. The Latoucho
brought a large consignment last week
and the Dolphin brought some more.
Chinaware makes a suitable Christ
mas present, and is most useful. Cups
and saucers, bread and butter plates,
sugar and cream pitchers, steins, Jap
anese and home decorations. I. J.

Job Printing at The Empire Office.
YOUNG SAYS HE
ROBBED KANOEE
Patrick L. Young, one of the four
men arraigned yesterday on the
charge of robbery, came into court
this morning and plead guilty to the
charge.
The other men indicted as princi
pals have pleaded not guilty and have
returned J. B. Marshal as their at
torney. Their trial has been set to
follow the trials of Itow and Fushi
mi charged with murder, the dates of
which trials has not yet been fixed.
It is the belief of many that Young
will appear as witness in behalf of
Parris, Parrent and Colander, the
three other soldiers indicted for the
robbery of Wm. Kanoff at Haines last
September.
GEORGIA GROWING
TOO SMALL.
The city dock is encumbered with
a lot of freight consigned to Sitka and
wayports on account of the Georgia's
inability to handle the traffic.
The city wharfinger insisted on
sending all or most of the perishable
stuff such as fruits and vegetables
but more than half of the freight
consignment consisting principally of
general merchandise is still held on
the dock.
CREDIT IS RESTORED.
Judge Grover C. Winn has received
advices from the University of Wash
ington to the effect that the Juneau
High School has been placed on the
accredited list.
For Sale.
A $125.00 National cash register,
good as new, for sale, cheap. See
Denny Orfanos, Douglas.
If quantity and quality are what you
want: you should see Valenttne's cut
glass before making your purchases.
Many new and beautiful designs are
displayed, not heretofore seen in
