II AT THE THEATERS?! The celebrated New York Empire theater success, "Sowing the Wind," Sydney Grundy's "sex ngainst sex" drama, so-called because of Its re markable theme, comes to the Froth Ingham this evening nnd will be pre sented by Charles Frohmnn's own big company. Among all the splendid at tractions that good management have enabled our playgoers to see from time to time nono made a stronger Impres sion than "Sowing the Wind." All the good things thnt had been said of It nil over the English-speaking world and they were numerous nnd enthus iastic were Justified nnd endorsed here, especially ns the Interpreting company was fully up to tho require ments of so notable a dramatic work. It Is one of those plays so well knit, bo clearly written, depending ho much on the bringing out of all their points and on tho thorough understanding nnd exemplification of all their subtle ties, that can easily be ruined by In competent players, nnd it Is a pleasure to note that on this occasion Mr, Froh marr will personally bring his own company to Scranton. "A Divorce Cure," In which Miss Emily Bancker nnd her company will be seen at the Acadamy of Music to night, Is the work of Harry Saint Mur, who dramatized It from his own adap tation from a story of the original French of Sardou, called "An Averted Divorce." The linos abound In en forced wit and spontaneous repartee, the situations are Invariably felicitous, while tho climaxes are developed In a. manner so natural that one Is actually startled by the strength of the scene from which each succeeding curtain falls until tiro denouement. No play goer who has proper appreciation of the good things of the drama can af ford to miss seeing Emily Bancker in "A Divorce Cure." The company of players with which the brilliant act ress has surrounded herself this sea son, Includes only people of recog nized ability. In the cast are Ray mond Capp, Harry Beresford, J. W. Cope, James A. Klernan, Alfred Tre hern, Charles E. Warren, Miss Basil Tracy, Miss Chnnnez Olney, Miss Eliz abeth Kosellc and Miss Julia Day. Next Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 21, that sterling actor, Roland Reed, comes to the Frothlngham, pre senting on Friday evening and at the Saturday matinee, his newest and greatest success, "The Wrong Mr. Wright," and on Saturday evening "The Politician." "The Wrong Mr. Wright" will bo presented with special scenery and effects. The play abounds In highly amusing and complicated situations. Mr. Reed has surrounded himself with an exceptionally clever company, chief among which is the charming Miss Isadora Rush, who has a novel character to poi tray that of a female detective. Friday night will be Elks' night, Mr. Reed designating that performance for the benefit of the Scranton lodge. The sale of seats will opening this morning at 9 o'clock.

He did not nsk the people to take him on fnlth. Ho told them thnt until April 1st ho would treat all who enmo to his offices absolutely free. Ho agreed not only to doctor tho sick, but to supply them ylth medlelmi without cost as well. How well Doctor St. John has kept his promise tho people of Scranton can tell, eighteen hundred of our most intelligent people have visited him, have consulted with him In person, have received the needed counsel and medicine, and over RW sick people have already been cured or much benellted. The good he was doing had bo spread among tho people that toward tho last the majority of thoso who consulted him did so without regard to the free offer, and only sought his aid becauso they THE EVIDENCE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER CURED Mrs. Mary Thompson, 223 Meridian slrccl, Scranton: "Dootor St. John has cured mo of Rheumatism of tho back.

His Offices Are Permanent To tho majority of the people living In Scranton thp National reputation of Doc tor St. John and the character of him ns a physician Is assurance enough that the Doctor has established an ofllco which 'Is a permanent one In tho city of Scranton. Thero are, however, somo persons who havo had painful experiences In the way of physicians establishing temporary of fices In this city, and such people have questioned whether Doctor St. John In tended to stay or not. In order to an swer theso persons who doubt tho por manency of Doctor St. John's olllco and to forever set at rest tho question of whether the otllco is going to bo a per manent ono or not, there Is herewith submitted a letter from Mr. Y.. J I.y nett. owner of SCB.ANTON UVENINO TIMES, who Is well acquainted with Doc tor St. John's reputation, nnd with tho fact that he has cstabl'shed and pro poses to coutlnuo his ofllco practlco In tho city of Scranton permanently. The SCHANTON liVKNINQ TIMl'-S Is awaro of the fact that Doctor St. John Is permanently located In Scranton, and would not allow this to be published If It were not absolutely truo. Doctor St. John's ofllces are permanent. Ills leases and contracts are for a term of years. Doctor St, John Is himself In charge of his practice. Ho sees each ono of his patients personally, He does not leave hla professional work to assistants or hired men. All who visit his ofllces consult with him In person. CJw wero suro they would receive what their required In tho way of a euro, but ho kept his prondso to tho letter, nnd not one cent was accepted, although largo fees wero offered In scores of cases. The news of tho way ho had kept his promlsu to the public, tho nows of tho fact that he absolutely refused to re ceive a cent from any one, had spread llko wlld-flre, nnd tho throngs toward tho last wero so great thnt had ho been twenty doctors Instead of only ono doc tor, ho could not have cared for thorn. Doctor St. John would l!lo to treat ev ery sick person In Scranton absolutely free, but even It ho wero a millionaire) a hundred times over and could afford to do this, tho crowds that thronged his of fice during the p.ist few days have shown tho impossibility of it. While ho cannot treat nil free foiever, ho can, however, do ono thing, and thnt ho will do; that Is this: For- one month ho will treat all at a nominal fee, Just enough to cover tho cost of tho needed medicine. This ho finds to be ?1 a month. This will give hundreds who were unable to rench tho doctor In person tho last few days, will glo ull who want to receive tho famous ph8lclan'8 caro nnd treatment, an op portunity of doing to at merely a noajl nal cost. .
