IX LOCAL THEATERS.
Of Chauncey Olcott, who appears at
th ArmriVmv of Mimln tnniirVit In "The
Irish Artist," the New York Recorder
says: - unauncey vjjicotr, tne sweei-
volced singer and comedian, has made a
hit of large proportions at the Four
teenth Street theatre as Maurice Cronln
In 'The Irish Artist.' and is drawing
the largest audiences knows at this
house in a long time. At the opening
performance people were turned away
from the box office, unable to secure
seats, and since that tlmo the same
state of affairs has existed. 'The Irish
Artist' is u picturesque play, and the
singing of Mr. Olcott is one of its
strongest features. His songs are en
cored over and over again at every per
formance."
II II II
The Sans Soucl Concert hall, with
Tom Gould himself on the stage, is one
the most attractive scenes in the
great moral melodrama by Edmund E.
Price, entitled "In the Tenderloin.
This is perhaps because music and
dancing are predominant. Some clever
ocal specialties are presented by that
favorite mlnptrel comedian, Frank
Cushman; some marvelous, dancing,
etc., is executed by Miss Gussle Hart,
hose impersonation of a quick-witted
colored girl 1b remarkably , life-like;
Mr. Dick Qullter, late of Harrlgan's
forces, also contributes his share to the
festivities, and Mr. John Page Is ex
ceedingly happy In his selections, rang
ing from the sentiment of "The Last
Lullaby," to the break-neck excitement
of an acrobatic song and danoe. In the
purely dramatic portion Mr.. Frederick
Bryton as the leading character is
superb. "In the Tenderloin" will be at
the Frothlngham this evening.
Clever comedians of the Joe Ott
school are as rare as June roses in Jan
uary. This ideal entertainer scored a
great success In "The Star Gazer," his
new play that made such a hit when
presented at the Academy a 'couple of
weeks ago, so much so that he has been
secured for a . return date at the
Academy tomorrow night. He will bo
assisted by the same clever company,
including his two clever brothers, Matt
and Phil, and the other clever capables
who ably assisted In the merriment that
reigned supreme throughout the entire
production.

The Colonel and I" will be produced
at Davis' "theater today, tomorrow and
Saturday, both afternoons and even
ings.
II II II . ,
W. II. Power's famous play. "The Ivy
Leaf," will be presented at the Froth
lngham Friday and Saturday evenings
and Saturday matinee. "The Ivy Leaf"
has been seen in this city on previous
occasions, and is a great favorite with
Scranton' theatre-goers. The interest
in the play Is strong and is well sus
tained throughout the three nets. The
flight of the eagle across the stage and
the revolving tower are sensational
features of "The Ivy Leaf." ,

"Hand and Glove" will be given Sat
urday evening at the Academy of MubIc

Sir Please allow me a little space In

which says that Catherine Cobb, together
with others named, were dismissed on
Dec. 1:1, when In fact my daughter liu.it
left school four weeks previously and hud
accepted a clerkship In the city. Her
retirement was caused solely by tho Im
partiality shown among pupils. This in
Itself puts Miss Holce's statement in the

A Voluntary Statement.
Mrs. Ella R. Nolan, of tM Stute street.
Auburn, N. Y., says:
For the past seven years I have been a
great sufTerer from rheumatism and rheu
matic gout. My ankles, feet, wrists and
hands were swollen to an enormous size,
and 1 was unable to bend n Joint of them.
I was compelled to crawl on my hands nnd
knees. A great part ot uie lime 1 was
confined to my bed, unable to help my
self In the least. I hud the best medk-iil
attendance, but obtained only temporary
relief. One day a gentleman culling upon
some business, seeing my helpless comll
tlon, suld:
'If you wll get some or Dr. Potter'n
Rheumatic Pills, I think they will cure
you.
1 did not nave mucn iattn, out I wus In
such a helpless uondltlon, could scarcely
move about, could not close my hands at
all, got tip and down stairs sideways, that
I thought I would try tile pills. Accord
ingly, I got two boxes of Dr. Potter's
Rheumatic Pills, and arter taking them
three days, the pain all left me and has
never returned even In the dampest
weather. Of course I was encouraged and
kept on taking them, and am entirely
cured. I have now takon six boxes, and
can do all my -own housework without the
least pain. The swelling Is all gone, can
move my Joints naturally und feel as well
as ever I did. 1 cannot say tob much In
praise of Dr. Poller's Rheumatic Pills
and will gladly see any one who will call
at niy houae, 'M State street, and verify
the truth of this statement. I heartily
recommend Dr. Potter's Rheumatic Pills
to all who suffer from rheumatism.
They are a radical Cure for rheumatism,
Inflammatory rheumatism , gout, rheu
matic gout, both acute and chronic, and
all diseases depending upon and having
their origin In the uric diathesis. I'rlce,

aomcuiing About Frank I.. Stanton, tho
Southern Writer of I'opulur Verse, Who
Is a Genuine Genius.
Having lost his father at a very early
age, says the Philadelphia Times, Frank
Stanton Bpent the three years of his
life, from 9 to 12 years, sawing wood
for a living. From then on for a num
ber of years he worked in the fields un
der the hot Southern sun, gaining his
knowledge of books from his voracious
application to them after the sun had
gone down on his field of duilv labor.
It is to this period of his life that the
poet has recourse for the materials of
his "Songs of the Soil," but it Is to the
mullowlng, Idealizing intervention of
years that tho inspiration Is due. As
he himself says, a man who is in daily
contact with a plow doesn't wax poet
ical on the subject.
When about 9 years old the poet was,
ror a little while, office "imp" on the
Savanahi Morning News, und wlUle
there It was a part of his duty to sweep
the office of a slim young news reporter
by the name of Joel Chandler Harris,
"Uncle Remus" had not then been born
into the world of stories, and Mr. Hai
rls was employing his spare moments
in writing verses. From the News office
their paths led apart, and each passed
out of the other's memory till very re
cent yearsbrought them together again.
From farm labor Mr. Stanton went
into the newspaper office, drifting about
through South Carolina and Georgia as
a typesetter and printer, all the time
scattering his verses like flowers along
the way. A good Providence kept the
youth In the fields till his heart was
bound to nature, and from thence led
him Into circumstances where he might
pour out on the hearts of men the sun
shine that had been garnered In his
own.
From printer and contributor he be
came an editor. While at the head of a
little paper called the Smlthvllle News,
he received a letter from Joel Chandler
Harris asking for poetical contributions
to the Constitution. Little did Mr. Har
ris suspect that the verses, which were
charming people far and near," were
from the pen of tho little black-eyed
chup who had played the "devil" In his
office In Savanah.
In a short time came the offer of a
reportoriul position on the Constitution
from Henry W. Grady. 'This Mr. Stan
ton declined, and it was not until the
death of Mr. Grady that he accepted,
through the Influence of Mr. Harris, nn
editorial position on that paper. From
then on his popularity has been on the
Increuse, till he Is known and read in
two hemispheres. Though our poet is
by no means without honor in his own
country, It Is from distant places that
the most flattering testimonials come.
In Paris his genius has been recog.
nlzed and complimented, while In En
land he has made a place for himself In
the hearts of the people. Jerome's mag
azine copies his verses regularly, and
he often receives personal letters from
English readers who have heard the
echo of his songs across the seas. In a
recent meeting of London authors Mr,
Stanton s little ballad, "Clal .ite, was
read. Those who know the gem can
appreciate the reception It received
When, in reply to a question, the name
of the author was given, one of the
number exclalme enthusiastically
"Well, he has beaten Dobson on his own
grounds!" '
During the Columbian fair Mr. Stan
ton was once the honored guest at the
Forty Club In Chicago, and received
quite an ovation from Its members. So
far Mr. Stanton h-" been known chiefly
through current Ilu. 'ure, as only a
small collection of his' poems hus yet
apeared. Though this work passed
through several editions and -won a
success unhoped for by Its modest au
thor. he has allowed three years to pass
without coming before the public, again
except through periodicals.' That, ho
is eminently. a. song-writer Is attested
by the fact that na many as seventy of
his poems have been set to music In
England and America within tho past
year.

USE1TL DEAFNESS.
In This Instance, However, the Infirmity
cost a Quarter.;
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
"There Is an advantage In being deaf
If von onlv know the exuet time not to
hear," said L. T. Sallgnac, of Philadel
i.l.in. vesterduv. "but the difficulty Is
to discriminate lust wnen mat time is.
I have a friend who made, or rather
tried to make, capital out of the mis
fortune nature had sent upon him, but
he was continually making mlstukea.
Being a politician, as any of that kin
knows, he met with plenty of Instances
where It was advisable not to hear.
My friend ran for governor of Mary
land once, and, while ho W. .1 defeated,
he was extremely popular nnd well
known all over the state, from the
urchin In the gutter to the millionaire
in his palace.
"I went fishing down In the Delaware
Bay one summer with him, and . the
boat made a landing at one of the
towns on our way down. He was no
sooner-soen than a chorus greeted him
from the wharf with 'Hallo, guvnor.
He acknowledged the compliment With
a cracef u Hip of the hat. As we wnlked
down the gangplank one fellow, a little
more obtrusive than the rest, pushed
his way up to the side of my friend
and bellowed out, knowing the falling
tn his hearing: 'Say, guvner, old man,
can't you loan me a quarter?'
'Of course, this was one of the occa
sions upon which my friend's auricular
organs failed to perform their duty. He
walked on as If he had not heard a
word, while to my Invitation to take a
drink, given in a moderate tone of
voice, he gave a ready assent. As wc
, walked on a little farther the man per-
Blsted. This time he came up to my
friend and shouted at the top of his
voice In his ear: 'Say, guvnor, can't 1
you loan me 50 cents'." My friend
turned, and in a quiet dignified man-
ner said, without a smile, as he tossed
him the half-dollar: 'Confound your
Impertinence; I should have heard you
the first time." '
