"The snowstorm of a. week ago ha done
rnoru than anything clun to hasten the work
on the buildings. " said Inspector of Uulld-
tngs Tammii nt the exposition grounds yes
terday. "As a result of the storm the con
tractors wi-rc called upon to pay considerable
r.ums ot inonoy to clear away the snow that
fell Into the buildings , and they are mak
ing the workmen fall over each other In
their anxiety to have everything ready for
nny other storm that may come. "
Whether this Is the reason or not , the fact
remains that the work ot roofing the 'build
ings has 'been ' going on very rapidly during
the last week. The 'Machinery ' building ,
which Is 'ho nearest completion and which
was covered with a roof sheathing when
the storm broke , la now covered with rubber-
old , so that not a partlclo of snow or rain
can enter the roof. The window casings are
almost all in and the workmen are hanging
the doors.
The top of the Agricultural building Is
also covered with the sheathing , and today
the workn en will commence on the skylight
ot tlaaslucont fabric. Upon the Mines and
3ttnlng building the rubbcrold Is being nailed
on as fant as possible. All but a couple of
the roof girders of the 'Machinery ' building
were up nt nojn yesterday and the work
of putting on the sheathing Is advancing
rapidly. Finally half the girders on the
Liberal Alts building are In place and the
remainder are expected to bo up by tonight.
The sturt on the Kino Aits 'building hab
finally 'been made. It has been delayed on
account of the nonarrlvnl of the lumber , but
enough of the flooring finally came In to
warrant a beginning. Seven carpenters and
men were put at work yesterday morning.
The contractor says that ho hopes to bo
at work in , earnest next week and promises
that the work will bo rushed as soon as
all the timber arrives. Ai many workmen
as can find room In which to work will bo
employed.
Carpenters have commenced to "lay the
flooring on the first floor ot the south end
of the government building. The pllodrlver
Is still driving In stakes at the. north end.
The plasterers have begun , in earnest on
the north outsldo wall of the Mines and
'Mining ' bulUlng. The carpenters on the roof
have advanced so far with the cupolas at
the west end that they are covering them.
Almost all the work now being done on
itho Auditorium Is on the second floor , whore
the balcony seats are being put In. The
entrance at the 'west ' end Is also being
erected.

Concessions yesterday that arrangements

rlc scsnlc theater on the exposition grounds.
Visitors to the World's fair will remember
an electric scenic theater which occupied a
section of the Electricity building. The
scheme of this was to take the spectator
hrotigh a day In the Alps , beginning with a
scene before sunrise , following with i b'll-
lant scone of sunrise , a vivid stoim aerom-
mnlpil by thunder and lightning In the i.inrn-

I MUSIC.
Next Prlday evening at IJoyd's theater
Mmo. Nordlca will appean for the only time
ithlg season In this city In concert. So much
has been said concerning Mmo. Nordlca and
her successes that It Is quite Impossible to
say anything new. Her recent perform
ances have only accentuated the good In-
presslon made heretofore. Everybody recog
nizes her as one of the greatest artists In
the world , and the music-loving people of
thlcj city are as well aware of her excellen
cies now as they can bo , for a majority of
them have hcayd her sing. Her visit to
Omaha this season Is very likely to be tlio
last for some years to come , and , a word
to the wise- being sufficient , It Is only neces
sary to remind these who wish to hear ber
of ithat probability.
Mmc. Nordiea was iborn In Farmlngton ,
Me. She Is a grandaughter of the famous
"Camp Meeting John Allen. " When very
young her parents 'removed ' to Boston , where
she studied singing In the New England
Conservatory under the careful Instruction
of Mr. John O'Neill. Her first experience
In oratorio music was made In Grace church ,
Boston ; her first public appearance , aside
from church work , was in the "Messiah , "
given < by the Handel and Haydn society.
Upon the advice of Mmo. Tietjcns , before
whom the young aspirant sang Leonard's
grand aria , "Tocea la Nolle , " Lillian Nor
ton , accompanied iby her mother , went to
Italy to study opera. There she placed her
self under the direction ot San GlovanI , who
gave her the name of Nordlca. A successful
debut was soon after made by Mme. Nor
dlca In Brescia in "La Travlate , " followed
by equally successful appearances In Milan.
Genoa , and o'.her largo cities.
Subsequently Mme. Nordlca filled In St.
Petersburg , her first Important engagement ,
singing there two seasons. Then followed
a season of seven months at the Granu
Opera In Paris ; an engagement at Covent
Garden , London , under Sir Augustus Har
ris. and another In America at the Metro
politan opera house. In 1884 she was en
gaged by Mrao. Coslma Wagner to "create"
the part of Elsa at Bayreuth , and acquired
'tho ' knowledge of German necessary for the
purpose in five months. In the role of Elsn
Mme. Nordiea achieved so signal a triumph
that her engagement in Dayroutb led to
her ibcing chcsen for the season of 1895 of
German opera In America to sing the part
of Isolde in German , conceded to bo ono of
the greatest dramatic roles. Mme. Nordlca
has added new charm to the role of Isolde
and now luster ito her own fame.
A few words about Mme. Nordlca'a com
pany will doubtless 'bo Interesting. Miss
Grace Preston Is a young American singer ,
uMected for this company by Mine. Nordlca
horaelf , the pos'ossor of a flno alto voice
and experienced in church and concert work
In Now York City. Her singing of the se
lection from Samscn and Delilah , will doubt-
lesa be an Important feature of the per
formance.
Mr Lewis Williams , baritone , Is also on
American nnd has had considerable experi
ence us an oratorio singer throughout the
eastern part of the United States. He pcn-
ECSSES a clear , rich voice , Is well trained
and sings In a muslclanly manner.
Mr. J. lienry .Mciunicy , icnor , neeus very
few wordo of introduction , to any American
audience. Last year he maie a most nuc-
ctiisful concert tour with Mmo. Calve and
the Ba'toa Orchestral association. He has
lately been In Englnnd and was received
with enthusiasm everywhere ho sang. His
repertory fa a very largo ODO.
Mr. R , Homayno Simmons Is a plunlst of
unusual merit and possesses the rare faculty
of playing a sympathetic accompaniment.
Ho was especially selected by Mme , Nordlca
for her tour on this account.

It Is seldom tlmt n newspaper m&n In
dulges In this kltitt of work , llo mure often
tolls tales of police court , \\hoio hungr , va-
Rrnnts and swaggering gentry from the bottoms
toms argue their talcs of woo with the po
lice judge , llo loves to detail In do.very
language tlin dress of some prominent act
ress or society woman , or to portray somu
nerve racking Incident which may have Hap
pened In some New Knglaml town , which nut
bear the semblance of Interest to those lin-
ncqualntu with the tragedy. The folowliit
nrtlclo Is certainly out of his Hue , but [ or
somn time past there have been many en
quiries , personal and othorwlso , regard ns
articles that have been printed In Omaha
papers from time to tlmo touching upru
what scorns to many to be something In
credible , ami this Is regarding assertions
niAilo by Dr. tSvyinotir of this city rcgardlnR
the possibility of straightening crosseycs
without an operation and the treatment ot
many nervous diseases by the sctcutlHo ad
justment of glasses Consequently It Is not
to be wondered at If we takn tip this sub
ject with the Interest that the newspaper
man usually Investigates now theories which
arc sprt ng on the public from time to tlmo ,
and In order to satisfy ourselves whether
these stories were the simple assertions ot
a few Individuals or the claim and judg
ment of the sol 1,1 people of Otnahn , It
might bo called a tour 'of mercy for these
who arc suffering with aflllctlons ot sight
If the words ot these approached upon this
subject are true , that they are from the
lips of some of the best of our citizens , HOMO
can doubt or deny.
Wo wended our way first Ho the office of lr.
Uorglum In Mio Frccizer block , who hai
known Dr. Seymour for sovcrAl years. lu
conversation lo ; had 'the ' following to say :
Yes , I know from experience that the claims
made by Dr. Seymour , to straighten crosa
eyes with glasses are absolutely true. I hail
u son about IS years of ago , who had very
defective sight In one eye which was alto
decidedly turned. I had been advised by
other physicians and ooulIS's to hava this
operated on , < md not agreeing with tbem ,
I Dually sought the assistance ot Dr. Sey
mour , who adjusted glasbcs to his eyes which
have practically restorud His sight 'to the
poor cje and It la now entirely straight. It
Is a pleasure for mo to be able to commend
such a notable man In such a worthy cause.
The next man to bo Interviewed
wan Jud > ge Ferguson , who la probably as
well kuowu s any man In Omaha , -having
beui a member ot the/ bar and on "the- " bench ,
of the district court for several years. "Yea ,
I know Dr , Seymour has done wonderful worlc
for the children 'In ' this city. I have two llt-
tlo ones , \\liom he has fitted with glasses ,
at different times , and ho has also fitted
glasses 4o myself and my wlfo and I am
glad to assist Dr. Seymour In any way la
promoting his good woik , and have no objec
tion to being referred to througi the columns
of The llee. I think his offer < o do work for
the children of our schools on certain iays
of the \\c-ck Is a most liberal one and should
bo appreciated by parents , tjs thereIs no
doubt In my mind t.tiat he Is 'better ' equipped
in every way ito do 'thisorlc ' , 'than 'any ono
I Know ot In the city and hla advlco upon ,
this subject Is of value to any who seek his
assistance. "
13. E. Bruce of the wholesale drug com-
pcciy wcs the next person approached. Mr.
Hruco Is wearing glasses fitted to his eyes
by Dr. Seymour fame/ years ago , and ex
presses himself as being highly pleased with ,
thorn and with the work that he has done
for hlmsslf and friends that ho has referred
to him , and while he Is not familiar with the ,
doctor's work among the children , still ho
believe , ? that anything he may say through
the columns of The lice can bo thoroughly ;
relied upon.
Mr. John II. Huth , manager for the Stand
ard Oil company In this city , gave his hearty
support to what others have said regarding
the ability of Dr. Seymour , and had the fol
lowing to say "Dr. Seymour hna fitted my
eyes on several occasions , and also done
work for other members ot my family , all
of which has given entire satisfaction , and I
am glad to commend him as master of hla
profession. "
Further pursuit of knowledge upcn thla
subject brought us to Judge Leo Helslcy ,
who gave us the following information about
the condition of his wife's eyes on their first
application to Dr. Seymour for assistance.
"Mrs. llelsley was certainly In adreadtul
condition nervously when wo first heard of
Dr. Seymour and decided to seek his aid. Mrs ,
He'sley'had beta under the treatment ot
other oculists In this city and atrlplne had
been used so long and with such persistence
that at times she was .nearly . beside herself.
Dr. Seymour made a careful diagnosis of hep
trouble and ( supplied her with glasses , with
out the use of any medicine at all , and from
that day she has steadily Improved In health
and Is devoted to her glares aa being the
means of saving her from being a nervous
wreck , and we are glad to render any as
sistance wu can to ono who wo believe so
thoroughly deserving of credit from , what
ho has done- for us. "
We next called on Mr. L. A. Garner ,
superintendent American Express corcyany.
In Om-iha , who ou'reased himself an
being thoroughly wtlsfled with the
work Dr. Soytnour has done for him.
Ho cheerfully added Ills commendation
of his ability , and said : "Dr. Sey
mour has fitted my eyes on several occasions
during the last few years , as well as other
members of my family , and his work has al
ways given perfect satlsfact ! ' ! , and I bo-
llevo his work among the children of the
city Is a worthy inovo and should bo appre
ciated , and Is arorcclatcd by those who have
sought his assistance In this line. "
Wo were supplied with the names ot many
other people of equal uroinlnoiiee , some of
whom wo did not succeed In finding at their
offices or places of business , but with ono
accord the spectacle-wearing public who have
had dealings with Dr. Seymour all unite In
clvlnir him nrpdlt fnr hnlntr fnrnmfIn lf < i
profession , and having advanced many new
Ideas which are of Inestimable value. Partic
ularly to the children who are so dependent
on their clduro for their acslsUnco to sight ,
necessary In admiring an education without
breaking down the nervous system. Ono of
the gieatcst thinkers of the ago once
eald that the "local columns of a
newspaper was providence speaking to man ,
and thu editorial column : ) of the newspaper
Is as a man speaking to man. " The editorial
opinions of The Bee are not for sale , and
there will bo no difference In the oplnlonu
of this paper expressed editorially after
thoroughly Investigating this matter. Tllo
lieo cannot refrain from giving Its honest
cndonjorrcntB of the work of lr ) , Seymour
and no sooner had liu returned from hla
oxtnnded vacation through thu > wcst than 'hla
oflices were thronged' with people anxious
