Rock On Street,,, ,., .
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.
