"A Pair of spectacles."

The audience at the opera-houSe last evening
was perhaps little under what the merit of the
performance really deserved. In an age of COM
edy made up of stage properties and acrobatic
features predominant over good lines well acted,
IT Is refreshing to witness play with the depth
there is in "a Pair of Speetacles, in which J. H.
stoddart sustained difficult part in a masterful
way, aud was pretty well supported. There is
n GOOD deal Of preaching and lot of funny
situations and no plot at all, but the first 10
good and the second clever, while the last is an
adjunct that no one expects to find in a comedy
anyway, aud it was not entirely lost. "A Pair
of spectacles'' was warmly appauded and it de-
served every outburst.
The play was preceded by one-act farce, "A
Man of the World" with Maurice Barrymore in
the leading role. Mr.. Barrymore's acquain-
tanceship with theater-goers makes compli-
mentary terms superfuous.

RESERVATIONS REQUESTED.
Members of Ballard City Government
Under Fire.

At a meeting of the Ballard city council to-
night requests for the resignation OF the city
officials were made by the Wholesale. Council
man David McVay was requested TO resign on
the ground OF his non attendance at the regular
meetings OF the council City Engineer Thomp-
son was requested to resign because he is q nom
resident OF the city. Marshal Holden was re-
quested TO resign for the reason that Messrs.
Dow, Kelworth and Holland deem him incom-
petent. No accusation was made against him
and no reasons alleged to prove his incom-
potency.
The following were nominated as suit-
able persons to succeed Marshal Hol
den: H. L. Leader by Matthew Dow,
A. Frazer by Paul Hopkins, Henry NJ. Curry by
j. J. Holland and William Dill by Councilman
Kilworth None of these received majority OF
votes aud the council compromised the matter
by agreeing upon William J. Weigh as proper
person to succeed Marshal Holden.
1t is considered doubtful whether any of the
requests viii be complied with. as it is gener-
ally conceded that Kilworth holds his position
as councilman Illegally, because he hiss been
employed on the force of the city engineer aud
received compensation therefor from the city
funds, which is contrary to law.
Councilman BOWS actions are causing con-
siderable comment AS he was the principal fac
tor in securing the appointment of the officers
whom he now seeks TO displace.
