Well as of Ohio.
The Santa barbara Press does not seem
familiar with that peculiar bird, the monkey-
faced owl. which is found in many parts Of
California, and is one of the farmers hest
friends, wherever he is found. They are
curious, almost pathetic looking Creatures
and act strangely like animals when cap
tured. The Press says: A remarkable bird
has been captured in Auglaize County. Ohio
Its pecullarltieS are: Shape like an owl. n

factories. Special Deputy Labor Commits

\ Fine Business.

The business of "Aquilo" at the TivOl
last week was the largest this house has en-
joyed in its history, and during the pro-
posed run of three weeks there is no doubt
the same satisfactory condition will be
maintained. While the scenery and the
stage effects are attractive, the music is
also a great feature. The chorus on board
the bark Boreas by the mutinous sailors
goes with vim and a spirit
that captivates the audience, and
it gains a couple Of encores every
night. White and Bauer have builded
better than they knew in connecting this
romantic spectacle, ana the management
feel very comfortable in the fact that they
have already recUuped themselves for the
expense they were put to in producing it.
We do not know how 'Aquilo" might do on
the read or in the Eastern States; but it is
doing very well in San Francisco. Perhaps
the TlyOli management may start it on its
travels when they get through with it here
which will be some time yet. We cannot
predict its fate under such circumstances.
But it ought to draw well in the dog-days
across the mountains, especially in New
York. II IS fun of icehergs

Midweek Notes of Business at
The Different Theaters.
Working Of the Nsw Rule at the Baldwin.
Coed Attendance at AL the Open
Houses-General Mention.

The Baldwin is nightly crowded to see
"Alabama." as n success, the piece is
breaking the record. The new rule OF not
interrupting the play while the curtain is up
is working adyantageouSly. Groups of late
corners hover about the main entrance
waiting for the proper time TO take their
seats without disturbing the players or
the seated audi ence. By and by the
tardy ones will see the necessity of being
punctua, and then they will find the
rule TO be Il wholesome one. The sooner
they are at the theater, the sooner they
will be dismissed, ana then all grumbling at
the length Of the playing time will cease.
Looking at the new arrangement IN proper
light, the management has put the remedy
Tor late hours in the hands of the audience
Itself. and it viii he their fault ii they do
not use it. The more we see of Alabama"
and the exquisite way in which the Palmer
Company handles If, the less surprised we
are at the rush. The play is in the nature
of new revelation. Calm, intonse, pict-
UreSque, fun Of touches of human nature
that are brought ont by the surroundings,
II is not a great play, but it is a good one,
and eminently satisfactory.

TO Improve our srreata.

A meeting has been called by William
d. Swift, president of the Citizens Com
mittee, to be held in the Board Of Trade
rooms on Tuesday evening, to consider
the qusetsion of putting in the hands of
the Street and Sewer Department a
larger sum of money than the present
annual appropriation, to be used for the
improvement of street pavements. If
public opinion should favor the move
ment, it is intended to ask the Legisla-
ture for a loan Of $500. 600 for the
improvement Of the streets the interest
on which is to be paid ont of the regular
appropriation by the Street and Sewer
Commissioners. By this means it is
thought that the condition of the streets
could be greatly improved without
making any increase ia the taxation. No
action, however will be taken on the
matter until the pulse of public opinion
is felt
