Scranton is to be congratulated up on securing "ine Last uays ot rompceii," which will be presented on the night of July 28, and each Tues day, Thursday and Saturday thereafter during the season. The Boston Her ald thus speaks of the grand produc tion, which will be given in Scranton precisely as it was at Manhattan Beach, Atlantic City and the larger eastern cities : "The 'Last Days of Pompeii' con tinues to draw audiences that run up into the thousands at each per formance. The grand spectacular piece is presented at an enormous out lay, and on a scale that is fairly daz zling. The scenery is strikingly realis tic. The dance of the flower girls, the drill of the soldiers, and the novel specialties are sights worth going a long distance to see. The grand climax is the eruption of the mount, and the flying inhabitants of the city when trying to escape the fire. The fireworks display is on a grand scale, a.id the designs are fired by men who thoroughly understand the art. Tickets 50 cents. Reserved seats, 75 cents. Seats in private boxes, $1. Can be secured ten days in advance of each exhibition. Single fare for round trip on all roads. See advertisement. SAFE-DEPoIlT BOXES.

A FORTUNE Inherited by few, is pure blood, free from hereditary taint. Catarrh, con sumption, rheumatism, Scrofula, and many other maladies born in the blood, can be effectually eradi cated only by the use of powerful alteratives. The standard specific for this purpose the one best known and approved is Ayer'S Sarsaparilla, the compound, con centrated extract of Honduras sar saparilla, and other powerful altera tives. "1 consider that I have been SAVED several hundred dollars' expense, by using Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and would strongly urge all who are troubled with lameness or rheumatic pains to give It a trial. I am sure It will do them permanent good, as It has done me." Mrs. Joseph Wood, West PlatU burgh, N. Y. Dr. J. W. Shields, of Smlthvllle, Tenn., lays: "I regard Ayer's Sarsaparilla as the best blood medicine on earth, and know f many wonderful cures effected by Its use." ' For many years I was laid up with Scrof ula, no treatment being of any benefit. At length I was reoominended to give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a trial. I did so, and By Taking about a dozen bottles, was restored to per fect health weighing 230 pounds and am now a believer In the merits of Ayer's Saraa purilla." James Petsy, Mine Boss, Breck euridge Coal Co. (Limited), Victoria, Ky. "My niece, Sarah A. Losee, was for years afflicted with scrofulous humor In the blood. About 18 months ago she began to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after taking three ' bottles was completely cured." . Cattail, P. M.i Losee, Utah. Ayer's Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr. 3. C.
