Under the direction of Mr. Rear ncy, the superintendent of streets, Bond street, from Fifth to Ninth, is being covered with a layer of crush cd rock. The layer doe not extend the full width, but is principally to ward the center where it is most re quired. Bond street never had very high crown and the convexity of the surface was soon worn flat by the traffic. Recently it has been mass of soft mud. Superintendent Kearney estimates that the cost for the crushed rock will be approximate ly $.W a block. The rock placed on Franklin avenue, Eleventh to Twelfth has been rolled and the street now wears quite a preventable appear anee. ' f. "The DevlT- The long anticipated appearance of "The Devil" at the Astoria opera house on Sunday evening last was the signal for an assemblage there of a big and eager audience. The house was comfortably packed, and the play was closely watch for all it promised. That it was startling in some of its supgestiveness, goes without saying, but it still remains a patent fact that its extraordinary can dor was softened by some very clev er acting on the part of Mr. Blunk all and his gifted group of players. The raw modernity of the play Is its strongest claim to popularity, and its scathing presentment of the bad and ultra bad in society unfolds a les son that may do some good. Mr. Blunkall, despite his physical antithy- sis to the lean, lone and sardonic devil" of trained imagination, was conseietiout in every line of his work and was well nd comformably sup ported by Mis Howard, Mr. Con way, and the Misses Sterling and Kearnes, the former of these two last named ladies rather easily capturing the honors of the night. Miss How- rd's work, as the wife, sacrificed to the duplicity of the "devil," was true and steadfast to her lines and the spirit of the part and gave an inter esting portrayal of a very difficult role. On the whole the play was ell received and left a strong Im pression behind it, that may be somewhat qualified upon a second witnessing of it, and In its favor. ILWACO II. H.
