evening with the comedy success Number
Nine" which Augustin Daily had adapted
from the German for his company in New
York. The story of Number Nine tells
of the many complicat lions brought about
by the snap-shotting and subsequent pre-
sentation at cinematograph performance
of picture secured under most peculiar
circumstances. The persons depicted there
tn are young husband and chance ac-
quaintance with whom he had flirted at the
beach at Ostend; the lady Is the wife Of a
retired pugilst, one Toby Crockett, famil-
iarly known as 1.-The Squeezer." and it is
his appearance on the scene in search of his
wife's companion that brings about no end
of trouble for this gay young husband. Mr..
Worries. The wife of the gentleman in
the picture happens to stroll into the cine
matograph parlors with her father and
mother and, 10 and behold, she views the
picture. From that time on there Is an
|endeavor on the part of the husband to ex-
tricate himself with explanations and
counter explanations, all heaped into one
great pile of funny situations. Everything
is satisfactorily explained before the fall
of the curtain, and the picture, Number
Nine" is laid aside for better use.
Frawely and his company have always
been very we'll received here, and the con-
tinrnnce Of this kindly reception may be
looked for this coming season, from the
numerous theater parties which are being
formed for the opening night and from the
general demand that has been displayed in
the reservation of seats. This compedy
will be repeated for the Saturday matinee
while Saturday and Sunday nights will be
devoted to another amusing comedy from
the pen of an American author, entitled
"Lost-Twenty-four Hours"

The NATURAL SOIL
WAS A LoAMY, NOT A GRAvELLY
MIXTURE
Fifth Ward Residents Have Been Get.
ting Best Of It in Street Grading.
It Is Changed Now

Leoti avenue. q new stree; In the Cook &
Pearson's tract, received visit from the
board Of public works yesterday. petit
ton for permission to grade It with natural
soil and by private contract had resulted
ity for the work to be proceeded with. But
when the ordinance was put upon Its pas
sage at the last meeting Of the council there
was a hitch, and It was referred to the
board Of pubic works instead. The board
therefore drove out to the vicinity yester-
day for the purpose Of seeing the nature Of
the soil the petitioners proposed TO use. i;
was a rather fruitless trip. for when the
members arrived there they found the work
all done and the street in very fair condi-
ton.
But In one particular the afternoon was
a profitable one. Leoti avenue is one OF the
highways improved under the naturai-soil
plan, which has held forth only in the Fifth
ward. 1t was commended that the natural
soil there was gravel and furthermore,
gravel Of as good quality as that ordinarily
hauled in from the hills for street improve
ment purposes. Some members OF the coun-
ell rather dsmurred to this claim, but, not
being we'll posted In the matter, were not
able to cope with the arguments presented
| by the Tall Sycamore of the Southwest"
Street grading on this decidedly cheap plan,
| therefore, continued In the Fifth ward.
while that done in other parts Of the city
necessitated the expensive hauling of grav-
| ell from a distance.
The matter again became an issue In the
council last week on the occasion Of Spr!n-
king Contractor Cross complaint. He did
not consider thai, under his contract, he
should be required TO sprinkle streets i'm
proved in this manner, as they had no grav-
el on them. Leoti avenue was one Of the
streets against which he complained. The
board. therefore. decided to make the in
vestigation. which was made yesterday.
| 1t wae found that in some parts OF tina
district In question fair quality Of gravel
| is found In the soil, but In other parts there
| Is scarcely a pebble to be seen-nothing bu.
black loam, sticky when wet and very
light and dusty when dry. This kind Of a
grading Is to be found on even West Ad-
ans and many other OF the streets In the
district. Had the use OF the natural soil
for grading been confined 20 the gravelly
districts, II would have been all right. but
such a course has certainly not been pur-
sued.
The natural soir' specifications were on
Monday last changed so as TO read, mat
ural gravel" and the use Of loan will no
longer be permitted.

so great in point of the street improvement
