A prominent dramatic critic says:
"There is no discount on the Bachelor
Honeymoon company that is to appear at
Hancock hall tomorrow evening. 1t is
so much better than anything else OF the
kind that has ever been seen here, that
prasing 1t seems like painting a lily or
gliding gold. In the first place the piece
| is replete with brilliant dialogue, clean,
wholesome, good fun, that keeps the au-
dience in roars of hearty laughter and en-
thusiastic applause. The organization
presenting the play is a coterie of finished
artists who are individually and collec-
lively superior to the stage folk who gem
orally come this way. Take my tip, and
go to see it,"

The city government has taken up the
matter OF rebuilding the Bangor bridge
The mayor and several of the aldermen
examined the bridge one day recently
and found that the need of new bridge
is imperative. The foundation is in bad
shape. There is talk of putting in ar
| iron bridge, as more economical in the
end. 1t is practically decided that heavy
stone foundations will be built, but the
question of iron or wooden top is still in
| doubt. The new bridge will be raised
probably two feet higher than the
| present bridge, which necessitates con.
siderable filling in at the approaches
The accessibility of rock at both sides Of
the bridge will facilitate work and lessen
the cost. A committee Of the aldermen
was appointed at Monday evenings
