IN LOCAIi THEATERS. '
Miss Carrie Louis, supported by the
Walte Comedy company, which appears
at the Frothlngham this evening, Tues
day and Wednesday, at popular prices,
In a repertoire of comedies and dramas,
Is a bright and charming actress. The
Dayton Herald has the following to say
of her performance there: "Miss Carrie
Louis, a bright and vivacious soubrette,
opened a week's engagement at the
Grand last evening, playing to a repre
sentative and fashionable Dayton au
dience.' 'The Buckeye,' a catchy drama,
blending wit and pathos, waa presented.
Miss Louis' winsome manner and In
terpretation of her lines won high favor
with tho critical audience. Her sing
ing and dancing specialities received
numerous encores." Matinee Tuesday
and Wednesday at the low price of 10
cents.

The announcement that "Oliver
Twist" will be seen at the. Academy of
Music on Thursday evening, suggests
one of the most Important dramatic
productions even given at this theatre.
Of the many works written by Charles
Dickens which have been dramatized,
it Is doubtful If any of them possess
dramatic features so alluring as "Oliver
Twist." The members of the company
who are enlisted In this presentation,
are, In nil the leading roles at least,
people of reputation and recognized
ability. Miss Ellta ProctorOtls, who will
play Nancy Sykes, first came Into pro
fessional prominence as Mrs. Eastlake
Chapel In "The Crust of Society," In
which role she achieved a marked suc
cess. It is In a measure a transition
from the society lady to the denizen of
the slums, and such a transition Is not
an easy one even to actresses whose
career has been more lengthy than that
of Miss Otis. Her success Is well
known, however. !
II II II
'A Jolly Lot" will be the attraction
nt Dnvls' theater tonight, tomorrow
and Wednesday. The piece comprises
a carnival of fun and specialty, and Is
headed by the "Four Emperors of
Music," who scoped a hit in Scranton
with the "A Jay Circus" company.
Davis' theatre has been peculiarly for
tunate In. securing attractions which,
without exception, have been pleasing
and meritorious, and the popularity
seems bound to be continued In "A
Jolly Lot."
Thura linn linen already an extra
ordinarily large demand for seats for
Palmer Cox's "Brownies." Judging
from the Interest displayed, the limit
ed engagement of C. B. Jefferson, Klaw
& Erlanger's magnificent spectacular
production, direct and intact from its
long run of 160 nights at the Fourteenth
Street theater, New York, will play to
the greatest business yet done at the
Frothlncham. The engagement Is
.limited to Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday nights of this week, with one
matinee only, on Saturday. Seals go
on sale this morning, and the manage'
ment advises that they be secured well
In advance, In order that no disappoint
menu may ensue. This will be tho
only opportunity, of witnessing the
great' production, for Scranton will be
tho only city In Pennsylvania In which
It is to appear. Large parties will
come to the performances from Wilkes
Harre, Carbondale, Plttston and other
towns. The stage Is to be In charge of
Charles B. Jefferson, Joe Jefferson's
son, and Palmer Cox, the famous
"Brownie man," Is to personally super
vise the production. Arthur Frothing
ham's enterprise In guaranteeing
JIS.DOO for the four performances, as well
as defraying the expenses of a special
train to bring the mammoth equip
ment from New York to Scranton, Is
being much talked about.
E. H. Sothern In "Cnptlan Lettcr-
blalr" Is booked for the Academy Frl
day night. Neither tho actor nor the
play needs elaborate comment. Mr.
Sothern Is cleauiy recognized ns one of
the leading American players and
"Captain Letterblair" is said to be his
greatest success. This Is Indlcuted by
the fact that during a long run at the
Lyceum theater. New York, three mat!
noes were given each week. This Is an
unusual thing In the metropolis, but the
public demanded It. Mr. Sothern, In
the play, represents a young Irish
officer In the British army, and In this
character clinched more strongly his
popularity with the Lyceum's fashion
able patrons.

IILTARY JEWS LETTER
Lieutenant Colonel Coursen Un
doubtedly the Next Commander.
CONTEST FOR THE MAJORSHIP
Major Mattes Will lie Lieutenant Colonel,
but Ills Successor Is Unknown.
Paragraph No. 10, of tho Code,
Hovcnls a State of Affairs,
The order for an election to fill tho
office of colonel of the Thirteenth regi
ment has been published. Lieuten
ant Colonel Coursen is the unanimous
choice of the line officers and he will be
elected.
There Is no doubt that Major Mattes
will become lieutenant colonel. The
doubt. If any, Is as to who will bo elect
ed to Major Mattes' position. Captain
Montrose Barnard Is the senior line
officer nnd he is confident of his elec
tion. His friends are pushing his
claim for all It Is worth, and It is a good
one, but ex-Captain William B. Rock
well, formerly of Company H, has an
nounced himself a candidate and. Is
working hard for the necessary number
of votes.
Paragraph No. 10 of the military code
specifies that: "The military officers
of the state shall be chosen hs follows:
Field officers of regiments and battal
ions by the written or printed votes of
the commissioned officers of the compa
nies of the respective regiments or bat
talions." There are at present twenty
three line or company olllcers In the
regiment. Captain Alney, of Company
G, Montrose, has resigned, and should
his resignation be accepted before the
ninth, there will be but twenty-two.
Three of the twenty-two have not re
ceived commissions, nor Is It proba-ble
that they can be secured before the
election. If this Is the case, and the
sense of Paragruph No. 10 Is that none
but those holding commissions shall be
eligible to a vote, .there will be but
twenty votes, Including that of Captain
Alney. So, .eleven votes will be neces
sary to elect.
Chnngo In Company I.
If Captain Burnard should be elected
to be major, Lieutenant Stratton will
be a candidate for captain of Company
D. It Is not known that Lieutenant
Stokes will oppose Lieutenant Stratton,
but should he conclude to do so, there
may bi a close contest.
Company B is awaiting an order that
they may elect a captain. Lieutenant
Kambeck Is the only one mentioned
for the position.
The rehearsals for "Allaloona" .are
bring held three times a' week under
the able direction of Stage Manager
D. Webster Seism. No one not In the
cast Is permitted at these rehearsals,
which are being conducted as near to
professional lines as possible.
Miss Norton, of New York, who will
take the leading lady's part, Is expected
on Thursday. The cast of characters is
complete and each one Is making ad
mirable progress. Next rehearsal this
evening at 8 o'clock sharp.
It costs you no more to have your
watches repaired by a skilled watchmaker.

RECLAIMED FROM DEATH.
The Terror of Man Thwarted.
la the Orasp of tlUt Dread Disease, Con
umptiou. Life Given Bank. Almost
Miraculous.
Fortunately, perhaps, the Consumptive
does not realize his own condition. His
is a disease of continual waste until lie
meets a death that Is In reality one of
starvation. ,
It is now generally conceded that this
disease is Incurable, that is, by any
known medicine. Change of climate, or
some life-infusing food that will give new
flesh, blood, and strength, and induce the
various organs of the body to assume their
normal functions, this is the only hope.
The only way to do tbls effectually is to
give the patient lioviulne, that great raw
food product, the greatest concentration
of the life-giving elements of raw beef
known to modern science. In this con
nection the results obtained by Dr. J. II.
Head of Atlanta, Oa., in the treatment of
a case of consumption, are interesting.
Dr. riad relates briefly how a man
about thirty-five years of age came to him
for treatment. He had lost forty pounds
in weight in six months; he suffered with
a bad cough and experienced severe night
sweats; lie was unable to do any work;
most of his family had died of consump
tion, and on examination his right lung
was found to be seriously affected, and as
the doctor remarked, " He was in a good
way to have an early funeral."
But not what happened. He was given
Bovlnino. In two weeks ha had gained
seven pounds, his appetite had returned,
he was able to do a good day's work, and
most of the 'distressing symptoms had
vanished; and at the time of writing the
doctor felt sure of a complete cure.
' This is but one of many similar cases.
Bovinine will give new life and strength,
make new blood and flesh, stop waste,
ward off disease, and turn the current of
life's river again Into its natural channel.
Give it one trial while there is yet hope.

(ACTION
TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons thut they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
Is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
