methods by which the
business of the government -

The I'oileo mid ) mospital departments had a
quiet day ycslttdny , no cases being reported

'i'loket booths and turnstiles are being
erected on the built tract directly south of
the Sherman avenue vladuct. This will add
greatly to the facilities for accommodating -
ing lne large crowds which are expeaed
oaring the next live months.
't'he Marine band gave another delightful
concert in time main court yesterday afternoon -
noon , 'i'ho few hundreds of visitors who
were there were liberal in their npprecla-
tion and did their best to supply in enthusiasm -
thusiasm what they lacked in numbers.
'i'he bureau of Admissions reports that
the number of palm ! admissions to the exposition -
position on the second day was 3,912. The
registration of admissions by passes Is still
Inctnnplete and no estimate is made by the
bureau of those entering the grounds In
this manner ,
The Transportation department has taken
possession of Ito offices on the second floor
of the Service building. The partitions ,
counters , railings , etc. , are not yet completed -
pleted , but the business of time department
is being conducted under dilticulties amid
the noise of the carpenters amid the smell
of fresh paint ,
'rho Bureau of Admissions is besieged all
( lt ) long by parties wanting passes for ( etn-
porarv workmen or the regular exhibitors
and assistants after their pass books. Up
to last night only about 100 pass books bud
hcea Issued. The bureau expects to do a
rushing business today , as all the books
shuttld be delivered by night.
A number of the camels that were shipped
to Omaha for use in one of the oriental
concessions are detained at quarantine In
New York , The quarantine officers insisted
that the animals should be thoroughly die-
Irtected before they were landed. This lire-
coca has been satisfactorily completed and
the animals will be shipped on today ,
'i'ho push cart ummi has appeared on the
grounds , but so far he has been pretty much
without an occupation. The western people
are able to walk and the one or two misguided -
guided indivldunls who have been tempted
to ho wheeled around the grounds have
recelved so much chating from the crowd
that the luxury is scarcely popular.
Some of the younger employes about the
grounds have discovered a means of "work-
ing" the penny-in-the-slot machines which
supply Ice-cold mineral water. These machines -
chines are stationed all over the grounds
and the sang-frold with which some of the
employes referred to extract a cup of refreshing -
freshing water from the "Immards" of these
venders without depositing tile flCCS.3U7
penny is very interesting.
't'he work of finishing time interior of the
office of the secretary and the accounting
department is still in progress , but will be
completed this week. R'iro screens are
being put In to enclose ail of the clerks and
ucmerous small compartments are being nr-
ranged ht the 0111cc. The noise of the carpenters -
penters and the smell of fresh paint , which
constantly pervade the place , make the
work of the attaches somewhat difficult.
The midway is never idle. Morning , noon
and niglmt one can find all kinds of amusement -
ment 't'he bands playing , time persistent
"talker" and the actors never seem to the
of their daily routine. It matters but little
whether the crowd is large or small , the
work goes on just the same. All are engaged -
gaged for one purpose-tile tnaklmmg of a
fortune. The lunch and refreshment stand
keepers imave "tipped" the weather man and
are reaping a reward thereby.
The Georgia state building is now m
charge of G , F. Greene , superhmtendent of mho
Georgia exhibit , who is displaying the ex-
htbils of mineral and fruit , which arrived
two weeks ago. Mr. Greene will be somewhat -
what delayed in this work , as the agrieul-
tural and forestry exhibits will not arrive
for about three weeks. 'rhe material already -
ready on band is of the Invest specimens
and will be the means of drawing the attention -
tention of visitors to the producing qualities
of the state of Georgia.
The high uvlnds which have prevailed
since the opening of the exposition have
kicked up quite a "sea" in the lagoon and
the erstwhile placid basin is decidedly
"choppy. " Some of the laudlubbers who
have been patronizing the gondolas have
displayed symptoms of sea sickness anti the
jerky motion of the boats as the mighty
waves ( six or eight inches 1n height ) dash
with fury against the gunwales as though
to bury the occupants In 't w aterv grave
causes those who have left their sea legs at
home to grasp at the cords and seats to keep
from being snatched from the bosom of the
boats.

The people of Onuhi1 are beginning to
appreciate the fact t that the exposition
grounds present n scentr'ot beauty rat night
which rarely falls to the lot of momma to see.
In the lighting of time inain court by mean-
descent lamps an effect has been obtafued
which was never undertaken before , The
daring attempt to illuminate such a great
area without the use of an arc hlglmt tins
commanded the attention of the electrical
world , and that the result has been successfully -
cessfully accomplished is acknowledged by
the most phlegmatic visitor to the grounds.
The soft , mellow glow of the myriads of
gleaming bulbs pervades time court and
brings out the arctmitecturat beauty of the
entire court In a manner which produces a
charming picture. No fairy palace of fond
memory can be compared with the entranc-
fug effect of the court as seen tinder time
glowing mantle of light , The architectural
etnbellishnient is greatly enhanced by the
softening effect of the Incandebcent liglds.
Any harshness in the decoration disappears
and only the surpassing beauty of the ems-
steal ornamentation remalus. Time thousands
of points of light are reflected and multiplied -
plied by the taint surface of the lagoon , amid
the lace-like spray of the fountain near the
Government building glows with a radiance
of prismatic colors.
The beauty of the scene Increases with
each observation and the ntagncr In wlmich
the crowd has been hmcreasing since the
opening night indicates that the people nil-
predate the feast of beauty which has been
furnlshetl for their delectation. The colonnade -
nade at the east end of the lagoon Is becon-
ing a popular place and the seals which have
been placed between the columns are occu-
pled at night by hundreds of visitors who
drink in the beauty of the scene before then ,
expressing their enjoyment in terms of the
highest praise.
Attendance nl the Concerts.
The attraction of a commcert by the Ttmeo-
d0re Thomas orchestra in the Audltorimn ,
for which no charge was made , was strong
enough to draw a large number of people
front the enjoyment of time beauties of the
main court and the big building was fairly
well filled with some of the well known
music lovers of the city. The experiment
of throwing open the dooms of the Autiilo-
rfum and inviting nil to come without charge
proved to be a success. In spite of the
strong counter attraction of the Marine
band on ( lie bluff tract there was a good
sized audience and time excellent program
presented by the orchestra was enjoyed to
the fullest extent. There was some dtsap-
polntment over time'Cartthat the Omaha
Ezposltiou chorus ( Cdnot appear , as was
announced. Director liimball having cancelled -
celled the appearange pf , the chorus at that
time on account of.thgrp having been no
opportunity for a Swliq rsal with the or-
chestra. The evening was filled out by time
orchestra with a ntmmbcj of selections and
the enjoyment of time , apdience was manifested -
fested in the frequgncy of the applause.
A largo crowd congregated on the bluff
tract to enjoy the concert by the Marine
band and the hundnedetof settees provldcd
for the convenience pftthose who wished to
enjoy the concert were qulekly filled. The
program Ivas a lengthriane and every
her was applauded In tbEmost hearty man-
ner. Classical music was interspersed with
popular airs , all playedrrwith the precision
which characterizes nil the work of this
organization. Hereafter the concerts In the
Auditorium and on the bluff tract will com-
meuco promptly at 7:30 : o'clock , instead of
at 8 o'clock.
The concert program for today includes
band concert on the bluff tract at 10:30 :
a. in. and at 7:30 : p , m. and a concert in
the Auditorium by the orchestra at 7:30 :
p. m.
The concert program for Sunday includes
a band concert in front of the Government
building at 2:30 : p. m. and an orchestra
concert in the Auditorium at 4 p. m. A
feature of the latter will be a harp solo
by Schuekert , a noted artist on this in-
strumeut.

Ilrtdly 1)nnrngcd.
The hook and ladder and hose truck stationed -
tioned on the exposition grounds had their
first opportunity to be of service yesterday
afternoon , when an alarm was turned in at
4:30 : o'clock from the California Gold mine ,
located on the west midway. The blaze
originated at the foot of time main shaft ,
about twenty feet beneath the surface.
Two workmen were engaged to decorating
with brush and bunting the woodwork which
encloses the shaft. when they suddenly noticed -
ticed that they were surrounded by fire.
They made a dash for the upper air and escaped -
caped with scorched eyebrows and singed
clothing. It Is supposed that one of the
torches had been inadvertently brought too
near to the pine casement , which hind been
prepared with a coat of benzino paint.
The flames shot up the shaft and reached
the building overhead. This was built of
inflammable material end was ablaze when

of the shaft and saved most of the mnchln-
ery , which was used to demonstrate the

Superlntendmlt Foster of the Buildings
and Grounds department is mnking preparations -
rations to construct an overhead crossing at
t Manderson street across Twemmtleth for the
' convenience of the people living in that vi-
who have occasion ( o pass back and
forth across Twentieth street.
I Time formation of time exposition grounds
puts thin people on both sides of Twenllelh
Istreet in the vicinity of Manderson in a
pocket , mind this situation has caused a great
deal of trouble both to the exposlllom
agement and to the people in that neighbor-
hood. The latter have torn down the exposition -
sition fence at that point when it has been
completely closed , insisting that they enly
consented to the erection of the fence with
the understanding ( lint they were to be nl-
lowed free passage across the grounds at
that point. A compromise was effected several -
eral days ago nut ! since that time these people -
ple lmave been allowed to cross Twentieth
street at llanderson , gates having been
made at either side for their convenience.
"I never kneww there were so many people
living back there , " said Superintendamit
Foster in speaking of the experience of the
last two days with this particular feature.
"I see people coming through those gates
that I always supposed lived in another
part of town , but they tell the gale keepers
that they are compelled to pass through iii
order to reach their work. When large
crowds are passing to and fro on Twentieth
street it is impossible for the gatekeepers
to watch these people and see Rant they go
across to the other gate , and the result is
that they scatter among the people on the
grounds and the exposition is out just 50
cents for each one of theta. I believe the
only way out of this difficulty is to erect
a viaduct for foot passengers across Twentieth -
tieth street and then we will not be troubled
in this way. I am having plans made for
such a viaduct amid will urge time construction -
tion as soon as possible. 1l has been proved
conclusively that the problem cannot be
handled with gates , but I believe the viaduct -
duct will completetlly cover the case. "
