In the water bonds, first issued, the
City reserved the right to pay the
whole thereof after October 1st, 1897,
and similar provision was incorpo
rated in those issued for the repair of
the water works. The paving and
sewerage bonds can be discharged in
full at any time after five years from
the issue thereof, If the City elects to
do so. The interest On the water
bonds has been paid to October 1st,
1902, and on the paving and sewerage
bonds until June 1st, 1902. The issue
of paving and sewerage bonds, aggre-
eating $4,000, sold for $4,000. After
treating matters in detail, the report
shows that there is no unfunded or
floating debt; no temporary loans, and
no outstanding warrants, and that the
statement is brought up to April 2lst,
1902. The Courcfl aims eash year TO
contract no debt but what is provided
for and is paid out of the levy of that
year, and any unpaid claim ut end OF
year must be very small, If any. No
statistics as to the year 1902 were
given, as that year does not end until
April, 1903, and beside the illness of
City Clerk, Mr.. Roy Alexander, pre-
vented the obtaining the details.

made e,collections this year as fol-
lows:
Taxes. $40, ,172.1s
Licenses, l2,541.35
Fines, 7,432.33
The report concludes by saying that
the City has no sinking fund. Each
year the Council makes special levy
to cover interest on bon1s and the
amount of principal the City proposes
to pay that year. The interest has
always been paid and principal reduced

Warde IN the Mounte bank.

Frederick Warde in the MountebnDk
is the greatest sctor who has ever played

toward higher quality of dramatic art.

Venice, Louis James in Spartacus, and
many other good plays by good COM
panies, but none so finished and COM
pete and sustained by such a perfectly
balanced support as Warde in this pres
ent play. While rendering this part Of
clown and juggler combined, we are
never left to feel that there is other than
a splendid manhood battling the un-
toward circumstances that have cast his
lot in hard lines. This noble manhood
Eliminates the whole play, aud yet it is
oAly made present as subtle
quantity, not paraded. Smiles and tears
sighs and laughter chase over the faces
OF the beholders and few actors possess
the genius to sway the audience from
one extreme to the other by look or a
gesture. Mr.. Warde does not produce
his effects by subtrlinating his support
and each would be worthy of panegyric.
Miss Ashton as Madeleine, wife of the
Mountebank, Miss Bertelle as his son,
and Miss Warde as the dancer and piin'
GEES, are nobly sustained. The refine
ment OF the play that is cast in the
throes of the French revolution is shown
in the Tremendous background Of devo-
tion between man and wife that is pro-
duced on young and old. Those who
underestimate the moral value of the
stage should have been present and have
realized what thoughts were carried away
by those who regard the marriage
