Town is Swept by Measles Epidemic
Courtdale, near Wilkes-Barre,
is being swept by an epidemic o
measles, twenty-five cases being re
ported in the last few days, while
there were a large number iu the

town will have it before it runs its
course.
A ROYAL SLAVE.
Whi'e "A Royal Slave" is a play
that appeals at once to the intelli
gence and the heart of an auditor,
his eye has not been forgotten
The scenes are all painted from
photographs taken in and near the
City of Mexico, especially for this
production. Among the most stnk
ing scenes is a view of the Valley
of Mexico as sen from the Gardens
of the Hacienda de Oro, near Che
pultepec. It shows a distant view
of the City of Mexico, and the lake
of the Floating Gardens," and in
the far distance, "through misty
miles of purple leagues," the giant
volcano of Popocatapetl ; the whole
picture framed iu by groves of palms
and bowers of bloom and seen
through the sprays of a real foun
tain playing ou the stage. Of spec
ial interest also are the scenes show
ing the Church of Peons ; the two
scenes in the Sierra Madre Mount
ains, the Paso del Rey (Pass of the
King) and the cave of the bandits
in the heart of the mountains ; the
splendid moonlit scene of the tropi
cal coast of the Island of El Toro
(the bull), and the interior of the
gorgeous palace de Alverez in the
last act, which is a gem of art
These, with the splendid costumes
and effects, make one of the most
complete scenic productions ever
seen here, and certainly the most
beautiful in this country.

The Sun Minstrels
The majority of showzoers are
always glad to hear a good minstrel
show is coming to town. Minstrel I
shows like all other attractions are !
not exempt from people who'

is safe to say a goodly number of
onr theatrical friends should be in !
other walks of life which are more
suited to their abilities. M.my a
g od cook or farm hand has been
spoiled by the foolish hallucination
that he could sing or act. Poor,
long suffer in! public, they breathe
a sigh of relief when they learn
that a first-class show is coming to
town. The Gus Sun American
Minstrels, which will appear at the
Opera House next Tuesday evening
March 2Sth, have an enviable repu
tation among the better class attrac
tions 6f America. From Maine to
California, from the Gulf to the
Great Lakes the Sun Minstrels are
known as the leading exponent of
modern minstrelsy. This season
Mr. Sun has the strongest attraction
he has ever organized. The cos
tumes, scenery, electrical and me
chanical effects are all new and the
best money can buy. The artists
employed are headliners in their
respective lines. The name Sun
means an evening full of pleasant
surprises for every lover o f fun,
music and song.
