IN' LOCAL THEATERS. hen William Collier presented "Hoss and Hoss,".' he was always sure of crowded houses. But Mr. Collier wishes to be seen In legitimate comedy, and his friends were constantly insist ing that he was capable of something nigher and better. As a consequence, "A Back Number" was written for him by Kdward E. Kidder, author of "Peaceful Valley" and "A Poor Rela tion. The success of Mr. Collier In his new play has been something won derful. As yyt It has not encountered one word of adverse criticism. Whether all this pralKu has been merited, theater-goers can determine for themselves when tho quaint comedian appears at the. Academy of Music tonight. II II il At Davles' theater next week Joseph L. Ollfton and Miss June Agnott, sup ported by a tine company, will present Mr. Clifton's charming comedy drama, "Ranch King." This piece will be given on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and evenings, and during the remainder of the week "Myrtle Ferns" will be the attraction. II II II The mosit striking characteristic In Jostph Arthur's remarkably success ful play of "lilue Jeans," which will be seen at the Academy of Music Monday night, are its wealth of picturesque pastoral scenes. Through them, as one sits In the audience, he becomes most pleasantly acqainted with nearly every character In the pretty story. Before the play has half progressed to Its end one feels that he has an acqalntance to be proud of In Perry Bascom; that he knows the Innermost thoughts of frank and prankish June; that were he to meet genial and whole-souled Col onel Henry Klsener In the corridor of the "Poo House," as shown In the second scene of the fourth act, he would receive a hearty handshake and welcome. II II II On Monday and Tuesday evenings at the Frothlngham a notable production will be "A Trip to Turkey," by John W. Kelly, music compose by Isidore Lucksitone, and ballet arranged by H. Fleitcher Rivers. It will restore to the stage Miss Kate Florence Ellis, whose friends are legion. The chief burden of the acting falls on Miss Kate Gil bert, Miss Ellis and Dick Gorman, and they have parts well suited to them. The fun and frolic, tuneful melody, ond brllllunt ballet, led by Donna Dean, will surely delight and draw crowded houses. The piece made a big hit In Philadelphia on its production In that city. 11 11 11 , At the Academy of Music on Tuesday next Richard Mnrrsfleld and his excel lent stock company will appear In his famous characterization of "Beau Brum mell. This will probably be Mr. Mans field's only visit here for some time to come, owing to the fact that he Is wait ed In the larger cities for long terms. Theater-goers of this city will hall his appearance here with delight and will probably show their appreciation by way of attendance ait his performance. Miss Beatrice Cameron, who is Mans field's leading support, Is an actress of the highest ability. The sale of seats will open Saturday at 9 a. m. II II II On Wednesday evening at the Acad emy of Music that favorite actor, James O'Nlell, will be seen In a production of "Virginlus," his latest success. Very little not already known can be said of O'Neill in "Monte Crlsto." It has stood the test of time. Much has been said in praise of Mr. O'Nlell's "Virginlus." Contrary to the methods of other trage dians, before the American public, Mr. O'Neill eliminates all bluster and rant ing from his acting and speaks the sub llme lines of James Sheridan Knowles with such musical charm as Is very rarely met with now-a-days. II II II It has been definitely settled between Manager Burgunder and Arthur Rehan that Augustln Daly's company will ap pear next Friday evening at the Acad emy of Music. Mr. Rehan is In the city Btopplng at the Wyoming. His visit was made expressly to finish the negotiations pending between him and the academy management. "A Night Off" Is the comedy that will be given and Mr. Rehan said last night that the samo company would be seen here that has recently toured the larger cities of the country. It contains such well known artists as "Adonis" Dlxey, Messrs. Leclerca, Carlyle, Craig and the Ullsses Huswell, Lyhle, Ford und orders. Y. W. C. A. NOTES.

Tho Pains of Rheumatism, According to the best authorities, origi nate In a morbid condition of the blood. Luetic acid, caused by the decomposition of the gelatinous and albuminous tissues, circulates with tho blood and attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly In the joints, and thus causes tho local manifestations of the disease. The back and shoulders are the parts usually affected by rheu matism, and the joints at the knees, ankles, hips and wrists are also sometimes attacked. Thousands of people have found In Hood's Sarsaparllla a positive and permanent cure for rheumatism. It has had remarkable success In curing the most severe cases. The secret of Its success lies In the fact that It attacks at once the cause of the disease by neutral izing the lactic acid and purifying, the blood, as well as strengthening every function of tho body.

Five members of the regular Univers ity of Pennsylvania Foot Ball team and six substitutes defeated with ease Scranton's eleven at the ball park yes terday afternoon. The grounds were very muddy, which interfered with running and brilliant playng and also prevented accidents. The Injuries sustained by the players were slight. Five hundred persons saw the game and the cheers for the local players and the 'varsity men were about equally divided. Carl Williams, who has Just been chosen to captain I'enn sylvanla next season, acted as captain yesterday. W. C. Williams, of the West Side, a student at Princeton, was chosen um pire and C. B. Newton, of University of Pennsylvania, referee. Dr. G. E. Reyn olds and R. J. Beamish were the line men. The teams lined up as follows: U. of I'. Scranton, Orboson left end Walsh O.

Scranton was given the choice of goals and selected the one at the south ern end of the Held. At 3.05 the ball was put In play and Aiken kicked it to the fifteen yard line In Scranton terri tory. Dan Uelbert and Walsh made gains that brought the ball to the cen ter of the gridiron where a spirited struggle took place for a few minutes, but then the ball began to move towards Scranton's goal and at 3.20 Charles Gilbert after a magnificent twenty yard run secured the first touch down for the University. Aiken failed to kick a goal and the Bcore was 4 to 0. O. Wagonhurst made a gain of twenty-five yards by a brilliant run after the ball was again put into play. He threw the Scranton men aside like puppets until he reached McGouldrlck who tackled low and brought him to earth. A moment later Charles Uelbert grabbed the ball and by another of his wonderful spurts made tho second touchdown. Time three minutes. This time Aiken kicked the goal. Score 10 to 0. Worth made the third touchdown for Pennsylvania after eighteen minutes play. Aiken kicked the goal making the score 16 to 0. The first half ended with the teams fighting on the twenty yard line dn Scranton territory for the possession of the bull. Gilbert's Great Run. In the second half Decker kicked the ball, Aiken sent It back Into Scranton territory and Charles Oelbert got It at the twenty-five yard line and doHnltP the efforts of the Scranton tackles made a touchdown. A goal was suc cessfully kicked by Aiken and Pennsyl vania's score went up to 22. After that Scranton made a more de termined fight and the work of Decker, Connery, Thayer. Walsh and Dan Oel bert prevented the Pennsylvania boys from getting another touchdown until the end of the second half was cloBe at hand. By main strength the visitors carried the ball on a series of downs from the fifteen vard line until thv forced it over the line and Woodruff secured a touchdown. Aiken again failed to kick a goal and the score stood, Pennsylvania, 20; Scranton, 0. Bull and Gelbert made good gains and the ball was again dangerously close to Scranton's goal when the second half came to an end. The Scranton's played a good game but were, of course, greatly outclassed in team work and interference. Bull, Aiken, O. Wagonhurst, Woodruff' Worth, Williams and Charles Gelbert did splendid w.ork for Pennsylvania. Colbert's playing was particularly bril liant.. It Is not wonderful that he is one of the pet foot ball heroes of Phila delphia. REMARKABLE CURES Are Being Made in Scranton. Never before In the history of Scran ton has such marvelous cures been made as Is now being done by Dr. An drew's eminent physicians at the Westminster hotel who have been healing the sick and crippled at Music Hall. These physicians have many strange experiences at their offices which are nearly always thronged with anxious seekers after health. One morning this week, while quite a number of patients were waiiting, an old lady came nob bing In on crutches, Bcarcely able to ascend the steps which lead to their door. While relating her tale of suffer ing, the doctor stepped into the room and upon hearing her complaint, he quickly made a few papes over her body and limbs, then took her crutches and threw them Into a corner, telling her, at the same time, to get up and walk, whloh.much to the surprise of all present, she did. She swung her arms, stamped her feet, looked herself over and explained: "Before God I am cured!" The dootor told her that she could go home, and that she would never need her crutches again. To say that there was excitement among tint little group, is putting It mildly, In deed. Mr. Henry Allen, a gentleman of over 70 years, who had been deaf for a long time, has had his hearing re' stored bo that he can now hear the tick ing of his watch. James Hendricks, a great sufferer from dyspepsia, can now eat anything which comes on the table without distress. Mrs. Henry Staples, a cripple from rheumatism, was brought to the doctor and was cured and walked out of his office entirely recovered. Many such cures as these are being made almost every day. The doctors may bf Been at the Hotel Westminster, whpre those who wish to be cured may go from 9 a. m. until 8 p. m. dally.

D LL D Who First Gave to His Profession Paine's Celery Compound, the Wonderful Remedy That Makes People Well "Excepting Its handful of magnificent Statesmen and Its. military heroes," says the most recent writer upon Amer ica, the people owe more to Dartmouth's physlclan-tencher than to any one man.
