The present Theatrical Season.

In spite of the distraction of Pres
idential campaign, theatre managers
are looking forward to a prosperous
season. New theatres have been built
y in New York and other cities. Much
money has been invested in the prepa-
ration of various performances, and
, managers have contracted in the en-
gagement of actors responsibilities OF
many thousands of dollars.
They feel that all this enterprise is
to have its reward. 1t may be said that
they have held this same opinion every
season, else they would never have in
vested to the extent they did in proper
ties that turned out altogether unproft-
Z able. This year, however, they have SUBJ
stantial grounds for their confidence.
"a, The supply of theatrical entertain
ments will be regulated more accurately
to the demand than it has been in the past.
Four or five prosperous seasons led for
a time to a great increase in theatrical
speculation. Actors and plays deserving

there was money at hand to be invested
in theatrical speculation. This form of

large cities, but also the towns capable of

formances a week. were overrun with
dramatic companies, and failures were
inevitable.
~ Fortunately. the business of amuse-
ri,6nts proceeds to-day on careful and
methodical principles, like any other
commercial occupation. The disbanded
;roupes, distressed players, fugitive man
ayers and the vagabond features of
/. theatrical life have passed away almost
wholly. Business practices and rules
have eliminated all these old-time cpl
sodes Of the profession and made it pos
sible for managers to count with fair
degree of accuracy on what the results

HERM0sILL0 NOTES.

Americans and others foreigners
visiting Hermosi!lo find LA Can
tina Central" kept by Mr.. Bert
Monteverde, very enjoyable club
house. The place occupies All en-
tire building upon conspicuous
corner in the heart of the city,
opposite the palatial structure OF
the Banco de Sonora. The rooms
are large, high walled and attrac-
tive, including reading room,
card room and a bar. AT the bar
are the best Of imported wines and
liquors, and fine Mexican cirgars.
Bert himself is constantly OH hand
to look out for the wants of his
visitors. "La Cantina Central" is
IA good place to pass an idle hour.
That "old standby" the Hotel
Cohen Grand Hotel) is doing a
fine business, and continues to be
the headquarters of mining men
from the interior and visitors from
abroad. During many years the
Cohen Brothers, Barney and Harry,
have been in the hotel business in
the capital city, and they have
made host of friends, far and
near, who delight in the shelter of
their hospitable roof when visiting
that place. Their good natured
manager, Max Marks, is hustler,
and decidedly important factor
in the conduct of the institution.
During the latter half OF last
week and several days in the pre-
sent, there was among the guests
at the Hotel Arcadia Mrs. Mooers,
of San Francisco, known widely as
Dorothy Dix" the humorous writer.
Mrs. Mooers had heard of the
charm and attraction of the beauti-
full city of Hermosillo, and the
we'll kept and modern Hotel
Arcadia; and taking a short vaca-
ton, she came to Hermosillo to en-
Joy both. The Hotel Arcadia will
draw many such visitors, and their
concentrations OF the city and
hotel will strongly swell the tide OF
visitors.
Visitors from abroad note with
no small interest the well kept
streets and beautiful parks of
Hermosillo (the Plaza Zaragoza,
fronting the Palace OF Government
and the Cathedral-upon opposite
sides; and the Park Ramon Corral
at the other side of the city,,
which are always in the very pink
of condition, and add greatly to
the charm of the city. The care
devoted to the streets and parks is
due to the very efficient "oyunta-
mieato (city council) OF which Mr..
Manuel Loaiza is presideate. Mr..
Loaiza is one of the leading mer-
chants of Hermosillo. and a very
progressive gentleman.

WAR CLAIM OF 100000
Favorable Report on Amendment to
Deficiency Bill.

Washington: The general deficiency
appropriation bill was amended, much
to the material benefit OF the state of
Missouri. If it passes Congress in the
form that It was reported last week
from the Senate committee, including
the amendment referred to, Missouri
will, under this amendment, receive
practically S5O0,O0OO. The state is just
ly entitled to the amount Of SAYS, 1873,
according TO the auditor of the war de-
partment, and allowance for its pay
ment is made in the amendment which
was tackled on at the request of Sena-
tor Cockrell.
Similar payments have been made to
other states, but the peculiar attitude
Of Missouri during war times made an
exception to the general rule, and 1t
was found that special legislation
would be necessary to get the allow
ance made. The business of the claim
was recognized and Missouri was on
the same footing in many respects as
other states, yet there were technical
obstacles which prevented the settle
ment of the claim. Senator Cockrell
took up the matter and had an amend
ment made to the general deficiency
bill. There is practically no doubt of
its passage.
The details of the case were given in
dispatches early in the season, and are
familiar to Missourians. The claim will
undoubtedly be allowed and the Mis-
souri, state treasury enriched by near
ly half q million dollars soon. d.
