Night-Noise Nuisances.



A city is noisy place at best, and hence
all unnecessary noises should be stopped at once,
and especially those at night, when people want to
sleep, which is nearly as necessary to health and
life as food or clothing. The barking Of miserable
dogs and especially of the larger kind ought to be
stopped when this Is practicable; but there is even
worse night.noise nuisance than this, which has
grown into habit in the last few years, and that
Is loud, sharp. shrill whising, mainly practced
by young coored rufians. who often aim TO whistle
no tunes, but mainly to make noise, and oftener
at night and even after midnight, than any other
time, and they frequently be heard for squares,
TO the great annoyance of those who want to sleep,
and especially to the sick and females. A simple
order OF the Commissioners or the Chief Of Police
put a stop to the oyster horns In the daytime, but
here is q worse noise at night and for 20 earthly
use, or even pretense, except to annoy people who
want to sleep. WIN the Commissioners or tho
Chief Of Police publish an order that nll unneces.
sary noises, especially at night, must cease, and
particularly loud whistling and that all police
men shall see that this order is enforced2 Let
them do this aud they will receive the thanks Of
thousands and especially the sick and females.

n. Louis Harrison is the gayest Of comedians,
AKA kept the house In a roar all the time he was
on the stage. His first disguise as heavy trago-

Of her Historically pathetic scenes Mr..
George Howard Is great addition to
the company, and was received with n hearty
round OF applause on his entrance. In the gal
lery act he appeared in an imitation of Jeilersons
Rip Van Hirlkle. His makeup was remarkably
like Jeticrson's and he enacted one of the scenes
very cleyerly, with even Il touch of Jeifersonian
pathos. Mr.. Harry Warren made up as Sara Bern
hnrdt, but executed all kinds of absurdties, in
cluding cavatina from "Trovatore" Miss Selvi
sang group of tenor songs In which she initiated
not only the tone of the tenor voice. but the tenor
