Lost Paradise.
The great play, "The Lost Paard ise"
will be seen here at the Portland Thea
tire, Friday, Saturday and matinee. 1t is
a drama of great human interest and one
that has been universally acknowledged
by press and public as the best type of
American play yet produced. Whether a
play be to interest or to amuse, THE
Lost Paradise" does both. The story of
the drama is pretty we'll known. It Is
simple and interesting. The sentiment
running through the whole play is a
healthy one, and it awakes
sympathy In the feeling 1t tends to
inculcate between capital and labor.
Even the villain lis not very bad man.
He is true specimen Of the selfish man
of the world, and he pays good price
and learns hard lesson. No more satis-
factory play for all GLASSES Of people will
ever be seen than the Lost Paradise. The
company that will Interpret it here is a
thoroughly adequate one and is headed
by Mr.. James Horne, who has won the
the character of Reuben Warner. The
production will be given with complete
scenic accessories. The second act shows
an immense factory with Its great ma
chinery in operation, and the sturdy
workmen at hard labor.

The Mayors Report.

The fun synopsis of the mayors re-
port. which was published in the Morn
ing News yesterday. makes very good
showing for the present administration
for the year that it has had control of
the city's affairs The amount expended
was considerably less than for the pre-
vious year. and the amount collected was
somewhat less, owing, doubtless, to the
slninkage in values. The report deals
with each department of the city's affairs,
and makes some excellent suggestions
for the, consideration of council. Among
the suggestions that are certain to COM
mand attention are those relating to the
improvement of the sidewalks and streets,
to lighting the streets and to charities.
We have always contended and still
contend. that the people will not growl
a great deal about taxation provided they
can see some results for their money.
They can see what becomes of money
when it is expended upon public i'm
provements. Apparently the mayor agrees
with this view In his report he strong
~ recommends that special attention be
given to sidewalks. some of which are in
a deplorable condition. The mayor says,
and very correctly, that better material
should be used in making sidewalks.
This year there should be a good deal
of street paving. This branch of public
Improvements should receive special at
tention. A certain amount of street paw
ing should be done each year If that
plan is pursued 1t will not be many years
before nearly all the streets of the city
win be paved. The mayor calls attention
to vitrified bricks as a paving material.
1t would be advisable to give this material
a trial II answers admirably elsewhere,
and why would it not answer here?
The question the mayor raises in refer
ence to electric lighting is one that should
receive the thorough consideration of
council. If the city can save money by
doing it's own lighting there is no reason
why it should not procure a plant, but
it should enter upon no experiment in
that line. 1t should know exactly what
it can do before mourning any expense.
The mayor is on the right line in the
matter of charities. We feel sure that if
the money now spent in charitable work
were distributed under proper direction
much better results would be achieved
The mayor expects good results from
the commissions which have been ere
ated. They will be watched very closely,
and if the results expected are obtained
the present city administration will get
the credit for them.
The report is a very satisfactory one.
1t makes a better showing probably for
the administration than was generally
expected.
