Tbe semi-bumau characters were well taken and touched the heart of the audience, especially was Mephisto while he was hated, he was comical at times. Mr. Hubert Laba- die did justice to the character. The human characters were also well re ceived, Miss Mary Von Tromp made an excellent Marguerite. She was graceful, innocent and had a kind and gentle voice. She portrayed her role well and brought forth some Sue acting. The entire company were up to date and the scenic effects made the production one of the finest ever presented upon tie stage.

The decision is of course filial and the question is now left entirely in the hands of the commissioners, who will no doubt, proceed at once to the construction of the new building on the J. P. Williams corner near the Hotel Bon Air. A great deal lias been said as to the fitness and unfitness of the site ! selected by the commissioners and it is not probable that any further effort will be made to have them change their announced intention. Individually, we have good reasons for thinking the old site the proper place for the new building and y we are Board of Aldermen, and who has de clined to make the race on either of the two tickets in the field. The Administration ticket, headed by the present mayor, John E. Toole, has fillel the vacancy by placin' in his stead Mr. E. T. Hines, who has serv ed the city for many years in the capacity of mayor and alderman, and whose administration while mayor elicited nothing but the highest praise from all classes. The ticket new stands as follows: For Mayor—John E. Toole. For Aldermen—W. W. Wright, L F. Patterson, H. B. Ehrlich, E. J. Willis, T. S. Hawes, E. T. Hines, This ticket is composed of some of the strongest and best men in Bam bridge, men with long experience in city affairs, and who have for many years administered and conducted the affairs and business of the city of Bainbrjdge. Among the candi dates tor alderman are three ex mayors of the city, who are all fa miliar with lhe work upon which they expect to enter again, in case of election, and all of whom are ably fitted aud eq lipped to give a good and honest administration.
