Increasing Efficiency of the Band.
The band makes constant efforts to
increase its efficiency. Advertisements
have been inserted in musical journals
for an experienced musical director, who
can live in The Dalles by some other oc
cupation. A place is now open for a
good leader and cornetist as a barber,
tailor, table waiter or printer. A pho
tographer fulfilling all the requirements
recently promised to come, as the resnlt
of a series of letters, but a better opening
presented itself to him at jast the wrong
time for the band. The band has al
ways been short of alto players, as well
as the leading born, and it ia with pleas
ure we announce that Mr. M. H. Howell

The law provides' that administrators
and executors shall mak,e semi-annual
reports to the. county ; court, and one of
these periods has. now arrived from
October 1st to 10th. Judge Maya ia in
town today for the par pose of receiving
these reports. In. conversation with
him this morning a Chronicle reporter
was told that there has been a great
neglect generally by administrators and
executors in the matter of making out
and filing these reports. In this way
creditors have suffered on account of not
receiving their just due, and the widows
and orphans have been subjected to
many deprivations and annoyances aris
ing from the 'neglect of these appointed
officers to settle up the business of de
ceased persons' estates in- the shortest
convenient time. We are informed by
Mr. Mays that lie ia here not only for
the purpose of receiving these reports,
but of insisting, by every lawful means,
that they be promptly made' out and re
turned. . In some cases years have
elapsed without a report, to the great
detriment of the beneficiaries and cred
itors. Mr. Mays' efforts to this end are
commendable. " V- ' 1-

"A BowerGlrl."
When yog mant to bay
A large audience greeted "A. Bowery
Girl" last evening at the - New Vogt,
larger than the merits of the production
warranted. Theater-goers were gen
erally disappointed and there was a
manifest lack of applause, which could
not be stirred at the last by the one re
deeming featnre of the whole play, the
fire scene, at the close of the last act.
A Bowery Girl" does not come up to
its pretensions and the fine quality of
its advertising paper. Its tragedy is
weak and its comedy 'insipid. The
specialty songs and -dances are fair in
their way, but are nothing above
mediocre. "A Bowery Girl" assumes to
be a melodrama, but the plot is hyster
ical and the situations impossible. The
heroics of the star in the title rele are ho
plainly for Btage "purposes that the at- :
tempted counterfeit of real life betrays
itself too plainly. The heroine, a girl
stripling of 16 years, who foils the heavy
villain by her physical prowess in- a
parlor full of people, Is always behind a
table or a box to listen to his .-plans, and
in the last act, after fair warning, fall a
victim to his stiletto, with faint resist
ance, has too much of the essence of the
dime novel to suit an intelligent audi
ence. There are redeeming features of
the production', but they are apart from
the plot. and the actors. They consist in
the properties. The special scenery is
perhaps the finest ever shown in the
city. The palisades on the Hudson, the
bowery in New York City, and the scene
of the roof tops of the city, the latter
culminating in the finest fire scene the
writer ever witrieseed, are ' worth v of
generous praise. . .: v
