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.

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.
