South Dakota is a neighbor of Nebraska, anc between them they guard the Fifty- seventh street entrance to the fair, which is | likely to be the chief gate fo itors. The building is not as large as many, but it is attractive in design and admirably ar- ranged for exhibition purposes. It will have an agricultural, mining, manufacturing and stone exhibit, but this will not be iu order before the middle of the wonth. | T. H.

During the two months that have elapsed since “The Crust of Society” was last and first seen in Omaha the playing of the minor parts has been somewhat improved, and s performed at the Boyd last evening it de- serves more positive praise, judging the acting, than the critic could give it last February. Mrs. Stetson is clever as ever, Mr. Lipman speaks his brilliant speeches as well as ever, but Miss IKveson has somewhat modified the effervescence of Mrs. Echo. The audience last evening evinced ready appreciation of the points in the dialocue and closely followed the action with constantly increasing mterest till the effectively unexpected denoucment, An interesting play it is from beginning 1o end, though wo of today in America look upon the subject and the strenuously emphasized moral differently from the theatre goer forty years ago in France, who first wit- nessed and_endorsed with unbounded ap- plause “Le Demi-Monde” of Dumas file. “Palr of Kids" at tha Farnam, The Farnam Street theater was crowded to the doors at both performances yesterday and the big auliences laughed themselves to tears in sympathy with the humors running through the farce in which kzra Kendall appears to best advantage. “The Pair of Kids” is an extremely funny entertainment, althougn it is far from new, and the company which appeared in it ¢ wus capablo | in most respects. The story, which fur- nishes an oxcuse for the introduction of a lot of fresh humor and specialtios, is familiar to most thoater-goers. but if it had been its first presentation it could not have been more warmly ved. The best fea- tures were encored over ana over again until the weary performers were obliged to be- come deaf to the demands of the audience and retire, leaving them still unsatisfied. Ezra Kendall was as entertaining as of old and the remainder of the cas: as well bal- anced and fairl, able. Carlotta scored | an emphatic success in her dancing specialty in the third act, which was one of the best | features of the kind that has been seen in | Omaha this season. The company will re- main for four more performances. - BOLD CALIFORNIA BANDITS, ¥yans und Sontag, Notorlous Desperados, Hold Up n Stage, Visania, Cal, April 30.—The notorious train robbers and bandits, Evans and Son- 1ag, stopped the Visalia and Sequola Mills stage yesterday afternoon. The stage was on its way to the Mills and within six miles of its destination when the bandits came out of the brush with leveled guns. Four pas sengers were commanded to get out and empty their pockets. Finding that the pas- sengers were not officers the outlaws told them to go back into the stage and drive on, Sontag told the driver that he would see him again and said: “Whenever you sece us, stop.” . Both bandits were armed with guns and | six-shooters. They left towards Camp Bad - , one mile and a half in this direction, uofa Mills is sixteen miles from here. e Arrested for Rohbery. Dave Tobin, a switchman, was arrested by Offcer Vanous last night for alleged com- nlicity in the robbery of J. 8. Fuith atthe Home hotel lust Thursday night, J. 8.

WILL NOT BE READY TODAY [CONTINUED PROM PIRST PAGE. | international fair at which a display of this character has been made, Forestry Ballding. Dashed from end to end with spray from Lake Michigan and surrounded on all sid mud, there was an appearance of sturdiness about the Forestry building this afternoon that charmed one into nalf forgetfulness of the dismal environ ment. Men with wheelbarrows full of rub bish rapidly passed onward through the doors, and then glimpses of a corps of sweepers inside were reassuring, but hope in when a full wof the interiorof the building was obtained reely more than a dozen booths were even approaching completion, while almost wherever the eye rested could be seen exhibits still unpacked in boxes, canvas, wrapping paper and all sorts of covering. In many in- stances only the platforms upon which exhibits were to stand ere in sight, while in several places the was nothing but a staring black boundar) line on the vacant floor, enclosing only the name of a state or some indiyidual exhibitc More huge pss sections and logs of differ- ent varieties, more specimens of branches and leaves and blossoms, more polished, bril- linnt colored slabs and posts were about than the average man would expect to see in a dozen world's fairs. The exhibit of Brazil among the foreigners. and Connecticut and Colorado among_the Americans, were con spicuous for their good condition, the land of steady habits came to the frout amazingly cti- r cut exhibit. all hands prob day religiously, but everything within the inclosure was in apple-pié order, finished to a dot. United States Government Bullding. Head and shoulders above everybody in sight today was Uncle Sam with a building and exhibit, magnificent in their com- pleteness, From the stars and stripes flut tering above the huge red dome and the great gilded eagle over the entrance to the tiniest details of the showing of Uncle Sam’s househoid affuirs, everything was in shape and in order. 1t is curious fact, in strik- ing contrast with the bewildering confuston in 80 many other places, that inside the fed- eral walls in the big space devoted to the army, the most serious necessary prepara- tion'in progress for tomorrow’s opemug and inspection, was oeing performed b couple of boys in blue, who wel stray flakes of dust life-like representations of government mules attached to an ambulance. Close at 10 was a fifty-two-ton picce of modern ar- tillery, exactly in place as it will be through- out the exposition. Similar system and order and readiness was uniform. The grandeur of the nation has a fitting type in the space undee the great dome. Leaving rd the great i s greets the eye; in another direction the visitor is con fronted by thenoblear of state buildings, while to the south is the collosus of the ex- position, the Manuf s hall. Between all these, wherever neighboring what might be the driveways and walks and wide sweeps of greensward were well nigh perfect. from the Agricutural Bullding. village just afte bundles, sheaves, grain, cultural implements and - ma : tributed in apparently hopeless confusion all over the building, and searce a dozen of the hundreds of exhibits avpear to be taking on any systematic shape. It is apparent to the wust elapse before the exhibits of the Agricultural building will be installed, ready for tho visitor of othic Several of the more cnergetic exhib- have, however, made commendable though the entire building to show a single com- installed exhibit. The Liber at the northwest on- will be complete in a few days and is already one of the interesting features of the fair, Arranged in lasteful designs are col- tions of elephaut tusks, leopard and tiger skins, savage weapons, grains and spices. “The British Guinea exhibit of crocodile skins, v rum and stuffed beasts of the tropics is near by and farther down the aisle is the great New South Wales wool exhibit, nearly complete. but still lacking the finish’ ing touches. The Canadian exhibit is well on, and the Ontario department, including the Ontario college exhibit, with the thou- sand of glasses of grams and cereals, already attracts every visitor. The French section and the French agricultural college of Paris and an exhibit of American threshing ma- chines ana two or three distillery and min- eral water displays constitute about all there is of interest. Rorticulturat Bullding, The Horticultural building was one of the first to receive exhibits and its interior has been kept in a state of tropical warmth throughout the entire winter. From one end to the other, arranged ina perfect s, tem and with exquisice tsste, are ever A~ riety of plants and flowers known to ull the zones. Besides the value of hundreds of thousands of dollars are on exhibition and the great triumph of the exposition is the unique spectacle of a century plant 500 years old in full bloom. This plant has at- tracted thousands of visitors for weeks and will continue to do so un- til it has run its race, as the tradition is that the plant must wither away after its bloom. The Horticultural building is heated by an ingenious system, which furnishes warm, p air of an unvarying temperature, and plants flourish luxuriantly under its balmy influence. The building is one of the most conspicuously located at the fair, hyy- ing a floor space of six and oue-half acres and costing over $400,000. In front of the building is & lower terrace and a low parapet in front of this terrace borders the water and affords a commodious landing for the pleasure boats and gondolas, Naval Exhibit. OWithin a stone’s throw of the tall light- house at the extreme northeast portion of the park, lashed by a rough sea, is the picturesquie warship in which the naval de partment is now ready to make its exhibit. As Captain Meade and Licutenant Com- mander Taussig are both sick, Lieutenant Helm, superintendent of the installation of tho exhibit, is in chargo of the boat. A marine guard of fifty men, commanded by Captain B, R. Russcll and Lieutenants Bar- vett and Colum of the marine corps, will arrive shortly and will go into camp on the goverament The collection of ex hibits has been exhaustive, and many v of the navy from 1775 to the present time will add to the interesting display. The whole exhibit will he a novel attraction for the majority of the public, and will be a positive pleasure for the seafaring men. Machinery Hall, Nearly all the heavy machinery is in place in Machinery hall and much of it will be in operation from the opening day, but there is a great deal yot to be done. Dozens of small engines to execute cunning work are still in the cases. When everything is placed, how- ever, the inventive genius of the closing decade of the century may be seen in this building. Its mterior will be one great mass of moving machinery. There will be huge monsters of the power of 2,000 horses and delicate machines for making the tiny whoels of & watch. The steam power which will move the multifarious machlnery of this building is supplied from a large power house adjoining on the south, The whole will be on exhibition. Administration Building. There is one pretentious structure at the World's fair which has long been completed, but will never be occupied by exhibits. It is the administration building and it will be the headquarters of the World's fair. In it will be held all the meetings of the commis- sion, local directory and the various commit- tees in authority. The director general, General Palmer of the national commission, Superintendent Higginbotham of the local directory, and the neads of the various de- purtments The Administration building is entirely finished, and, with its dome of gold aund deli- cate architectural contour, is pronounced one of the prides of the exposition, The building cost about $500,000 and is exactly square, being 202 by 262 feet and 277 feet high. Stat- uary adoras its four pavilions and at the main entrance is a heroic statue of Columbus by Louis St. Gaudens. The great dome with its coating of aluminium bronze makes the building one of the most attractive of the fair. It is visible for miles and in the bright sunlight greatly resembles the historic In- valides of Paris, the tomb of Napoleon. Awmong the State Bulldlags.

The charch is one of the largest in the west and was packed to the doors by a throng, cager to see tho distin- guished visitor from abroad, as well as to at- tend the divine services. The occasion was one of m: than ordin ceremony, and all the accessories of the Roman ritual were utilized to give pomp to the sacred rites. pealed forth the strains of Batiste's processional march and the services were begun, every seat in the church was occupied. At 10:30 o'clock the great bell tolled, announcing the approach of the ducal party. Ushers were in waiting in the vestibule to receive the dis- tinguished visitors and escort them to their scats just in front of the altar rail, which had been especially reserved for them. The consisted of the duke and duachess of Veragua, Christobal Colon y Aiguilra, the son of the duke, Maria de! Piva y Aiguilva, his daughter, Marquis de Barboles, Pedro Colon y Bertodam, a nephew of the duches: Commander and Mrs, . W.

First came a cross-bearer, garbed in a royal purple cassock and white lace alb, Attending him were two torch-bearers simi- larly attired. Then walked, two and two, 100 acolytes habited in scarlet soutanes and white surplices, then incense- bearers, the im- mediate servitors of the mas: of all ne the officiating priests, wearing the rich jubilee vestments of cloth of gold. They were: Rev. E. D. Kelly, celebrant; Rev. S, :Connelly, deacon; M. L. Kenny, subdea* and Rev. J. Hoefer, master of ceremo- i and his com nie: The mass was celebrated without any spec tent until near its close when four little alvar boys stepped forward, each carrying a large bouquet of lillies and roses. One little fellow stepped up to the duke and extended his bunch of flowers, which the no- bleman accopted with a smile and pleasant nod. 'The other three bouquets were pre- sented, cne each, to the duchess and to the son and daughterof the distinguished guest. Av the conclusion of mass the party walked quietly from the church, and enteriog their carringes were driven rapidly to the resi- dence of Mayor Harrison, whom they hon- ored by paying a state visit. Mr. Harrison, surmun\le\l by the immediate members of his family and a few friends, received the uests wf&h the uimost courtesy. He ten- dered light refreshments, and after a pleas- ant visit of about fifteen minutes the party departed for the Auditorium hotel. After returning to the hotel the ducal party remained quietly in their apartments until 5 o’clock, when they tool carriages once more and were driven'to the residence of shop Feehan, the chief of the Catholic e of Chicago. The prelate received itors ina quiet manner, though his spacious residence was ablaze with light and his numerous attendants, who were sta- tioned on every side, lent something of a state appearance to the reception.

Few people who see the for midable guns and turret of the Illinois, which seems to stand guard over the fair ion by water, will realize until they come very close to her that she is not a floating ship of war. T'his brick ship was the idea of Commodore R. W. Meade. Her Gatling and Hotchk iss guns, of which she has a battory n te ad upon decks that have been washed with the spray of the ocean. Steam and smoke issue from her funnel, her steam whistle blows as if to warn adjacent craft that she is about to sheer off from the wharf and real naval officers in full uniform pace her quarter deck. In spite of of the lake and couldn’t be moved with k. She would not float even if br mortar floated, for she has no bottom. So vealistic is the deception that one of the workmen who was putting in the stoves in the ship's galley and who was busy clamp- ing them down, as is done in ships to from cutting loose and sliding the deck in a sea complained that the fastenings he had made were not firm enough. “If she gets outside in a blow,"” he said to Naval Avchitect F. W. Grogan, “I'm afraid those stoves may cut adrift.” He thought he had been working on a real man-of-war. Tieutenant Commander Taussig, U N is in charge of the Illinois, and his commis- sion has been as carefully worded as if he were to take her to the Mediterranean. All the formalities and rules of naval etiquette are observed, There is an oMcer of the deck and & watch to call out ““A light on the star board bow!” The time is caleulated by b and officers cannot leave the craft without pvermission. About twenty offic and men will be on board when they all arrive, and fifty marines from the navy yards for police duty. The crew were lmost entirely from the revenue cutter Michigan, that does duty on the lake, © But Frail, She as fine o battle ship to the naked eye as there isin the navy, butan angry man with a crowbar could do her a lot of in- jury. She is modeled after the Massachu 300 ks and around it unlike those v $30,000 to build, which, of e, is exclusive of her guuns and the ex- hibits she contains. She is 348 feet long and ha beam or breaath of sixtysfeet, Her beams arve of steel and she has calked deck planks, hatches, winch able nippers and such attachments, of iron in some cases and in others of plaster. The big crane which holds the enormous black anchors (cement) is partly cast iron and partly lath and plas- ter. All the appurtenances of the foward main deck have a realistic look. Under the wheel house ‘isjthe cooking gallery, an ex- hibit by a New York firm, in which all the food of vthe men is prepared. Back of this and occupying places a little foward of amid- ships are the six-and-one-half-inch guns, two on each side. After the exhibition is over these weapons, which are the real thing, will be placed on board the new cruisers now building in San Francisco. The guns use fifty pounds of powder and carry a hundred- pound shell miles. Those versed in ques- tions of artillery calculate that the shell should weigh twice as much as the powder and that each inch of diameter is good for an extra mile. Thus a nine-inch gun, built nccordh:f to the proper scale of proportion, will send’ a_projectile nine miles and the thirteen-inch gun, of which there is a dq!lllmy on the Illinois, should shoot thirteen miles, On the carriages of the 6!¢-inch guns are the perforations mude by the shell from a six-pound Hotchkiss rifle. No carriage for artillery in the navy is accepted until the gunuers have had a shot at it to test it. 1f the shell goes clean through without crack- ing the metal, only making a hole, the gun carriage is good enough for Uncle Sam. The guns and shiells with which these tests are made are also shown. he 13-inch gun, of which a dummy is shown in the turret, is a beauty. It burns 550 pounds of powder, and it would send a shell wewghing 1,100 pouuds from the Bat- tery to 1565th street in New York, and still have enough impetus when it reached there to bowl over almost anything that stood inits way. Exhbits of the real shells ave to be found in the ship. In the powder magazine, which is a most interesting place, are the ammunition cages, made of copper and about four feet high, in which the pow- der is stored. The charges are hoisted by machinery, placed in the gunand rammed home, the process being shown almost com- pletely. she cost only cou Real Officers Live There, An officer's ward room a little further afu in which real officers live is exhibited to astonish people from inland points. shown under certain restrictions, of course, the sign **No Admittance” being put up at meal times and at bed times. There is a fine lavatory and bathroom for the oficers and another one for the captain, All the furni- ture is real and it will be used some day with some of the other fittings on a ganuine battle ship. Upon the berth deck there is no machinery such as would be used to propel a vessel like the [llinois. Only a comparatively small section ofcoal bunkers is shown, but th is enough to demontrate the water tight com- partment idea and the means by which the firemen escapes from the bunkers in case of annflux of water and the closing of the compartments. A space which in u real ship would be given up to bunkers is occupied by the steam engineering exhibit, showing the types of boilers and engines of \different periods in model form,as wellas the patterns of various kinds of propellers. Underneath one of the turrets for the 13- inoh guns is the ordnance museum. The after turret has not been carried out below the main deck. In the mugeum are portraits of heroes of the navy and relics of a nuture that will not cause sectional discussion. Armor plates that have been subjected to tests and the projectiles with which they have been pierced ave in the museum. The hydraulic apparatus by which towers are moved 50 that the big guus be brought to bear upon the unlucky victim that the captain is after is explained. Over the propeller is a hole for a torpedo tube. In this part of the ship the ward room and captain’s room are duplicated so that they can be inspected when the real living quar- ters are not accessible, In the duplicate ward room folks who have ne before been on n ship can paw over the articles they find and make loud and personal rks, all of which they will be asked to refrain from doing in the living quarters From the naval academy of Aunapolis re are samples of the class and engineer- ing work of the cadets, but unfortunately the cadets themselves are not represented. Here's an Idea! The idea of giving them a brick ship that they could navigate with perfect safety since it doesn't move might be a good one. In the display from the hydrographic office there are charts and instruments and models of the bottom of the sea, tog ful information on how to keep a ship from reaching there. Everything appertaining to the oftice is shown, the creation of its won- derful maps, the tracing out of derelict ves- the sels and the following up of the various | winds. Starting from the propeller on the port side and walking forward the visitor has passed the captaiu's duplicate quarters and the hydrographic burcau, Next he comes to the surgeon's depart ment, in which there are an exawmination roou: and a hospital roum, with operating her with use- | | magnesium table and cots, in which ail cases of sicks um‘mm‘!hn men not of an infectious nature will be treated.

There they get their clothing, too, and a hittle her along they receive their pay. The dynamos and search light machinery and the hoisting v for the ammunition are shown, and forward is the big dormitory ~that isn'c what they call it—in which the saillors and fmarines swing their hammocks after rolllng the quids in their mouths, hitehing their trousers in regulation fashion and casting their weather oyo around for symptoms of squalls, 1t s to this place that the order is sent in time of 4 crisis o *tum ble up,™ and that sort of thing. he sailors have to stow their belongings in n but the marine lockers to their dudish apparel.

Perhaps the dummy war ship will take. It suggosts a 1and safe way for the Amer n people to satisfy their ambition to own a navy. The Hlinois will never go galivant ing around the world with a chip on her shoulder trving to get up a pretext for using her guns Upon the superstructure deck there is the heavily armored conning tower. In time of war the wheelhouse, which is of wood, would very likely be converted into splintors with its human contents—if they stayed there. In sucha case as that the captain perches in the conning tower, in which there is i steering gear. From this place, which of course, is a target for all the cannon balls sailing through the atmosphe he can work the guns and commun with every part of tho ship. By means of speak ing tubes he can shout at all his subordinate rs and allude to thoir weak points just sily as if he had them right there in room contain Atilngs and Search Lights. Behind the tower is the secondary battery of six-pound Hotchkiss guns. In the military wps are two one-pound guns and two Gat lings. Two search i od, one forward and one aft, which are in use.
