The next league games aie played
Tuesday night. Tho Elks play on the
Backus alleys, the two West End
teams meet In Wllkes-EEaire and the
Blaik Diamonds play tho Bicycle club.
On the Alleys.
THE I'EISSONNEh of the six teams
of the reorganized bowling league
of Northeastern Pennsylvania Is
consldetably different from that of tho
clubs which rolled In the 'tournament
Just completed. Of all the teums
which have benefited by tho change,
the Scuiuton Bicycle club Is head and
shoulders above the rest.
Mitchell, Van Wormer nnd Dunield,
tin oo crack members of the disorgan
ized Commercials, uio on tho Bicycle
flub team and form nbout as
choke an additional a trio of
lollrrs a could be found. Vim
Wormer p nn old membe" of
the club, but the other two but
u'eently applied for membership. Mit
chell howled with the Elks' team last
K'HhOll.
Tho Bicycle club now lias the fast
est bowleis In the city to choose from
and It seems that not much dllllculty
should be met by tho local wheelmen
In securing the trophy. With the trio
above-named. Captain AVardell and
Charles Moore, two stnrs of tho old
team, a formidable Ave Is encountered.
And with substitutes such as Worden,
Hoper. Taylor, Foley, Pryor mil num
erous other excellent 'ten pl.is knights
to pick fiom, In case of Injury to any
of the oilglnnl live, no trouble should
be encountered In choosing alternates.
The West End Wheelmen, of Wilkes
Barre, have bowlers onout'h to put out
two towns, nnd It moro 'than likely
that a member of one of these clubs
will ogaln take Individual honors. It
Is a characteristic of tho Wllkes-Barre
rollers to plod along at a rather In
cllffeirnt pace, and then muko u great
raly, whllo ono of the team makes a
magnificent spurt and lands a tig 200
score. tyelg-anil. of tho team, won all
sorts of laurels by his great work
against the Hosovlllo bowlers, when ho
averaged 133 on tho Elk alleys, and
when a return gamo was plnyed at
Hosovlllo it was tho splendid bowl
ing of Dr. Qieen which was tho
one redeeming feature of the Penn
sylvanlatl? bQWllrts.
And then tq cup all, at tho end of
the last tournament it was Yost who
lolled tho highest scoro of tho season,
224, and In addition averaged over 200
for .the night.
"Jtply" Decker, who rolled In tho
tournament of 1000 with tho Backus
team, is ngaln a member of that five,
Detrck, one of tho member of tho
Iloscvjllo AthlellQ cjub's team of
crackcrjnck howlers, Is a frequent visi
tor In IhlB city, and during tho week
orrlvcd here and nu taken out to
Hip Orecn Hldgo Wheelmen's new at
leys by a friend. He rolled several
games and established a new record
for tho alleys of 231, Jack Taylor and
Charles Moorp had each howled 212
previous to this scoring, and those
figures stood high.
On the Mat.
EFrOItTS nie still being made by
locnl patrons of wrestling to bring
about n match between M. J.
Dwycr und Harvvy Parker, the fam
ous "little demon" of New York.
Dwycr refuses to meet Parker for less
than $C00 a side, and hence comes the
hitch.
It Is expected, however, that ar
langements for bringing 'the two to
gether will bo consummated durlne
this week, In which event local enthus
iasts will see an exceedingly fast con
test. Parker Is meeting men almost
nightly and Invariably coming out vic
tor. While thirty pounds lighter than
Dwyer, he has met several men heavier
than the latter, and his strength Is
said to bo enormous.

lion. John Williams, County Commis
sioner, of 517 West r-'ccnlid street, Dul
uth, Minn., pays tho following In re
gard to Perunai "As a remedy for
catarrh I can cheerfully recommend
Pel una. I know what It is to suffer
f i om that tcrrlbla dlscnsa and I feel
that it Is my duty to ppcn'.t a good
word for the tonic that brought mo
Immediate icllef. Poruna cured mo of
a bad case of catarrh and I know It
will euro any other sufferer from that
disease."
Miss Mattle h. Oulld, Picsldent Illi
nois Young People's Christian Temper
ance union, In a recent letter from Chi
cago, III., says:
"I doubt if Feruna has a rival in
all tho remedies recommended today
for catarrh of the system. A remedy
that will euro catarrh of the stomach
will cure the same condition of the
mucous membrane anywhore. I have
found it the best remedy I have ever
tried for catarrh, and believing it
worthy my endorsement I gladly ac
cord it."
Mrs. Elmer Fleming, orator of Reser
voir council No, 168, Northwestern Le
gion of Honor, of Minneapolis, Minn.,
writes from 2535 Polk street, N, K.:
"I hnvo been
troubled nil my
life with catarrh
In my head. I
took Porunn for
about threo
months.nnd now
think I am per
manently cured.
I believe that
for eatarih In
all Its forms
Pet una Is the
medicine of the
age. It cures
when all other
remedies fail, I

.Mluueapullr, Minn
can heartily rec
ommend Pertma as a catanh icmedy."
Tho spring Is the time to treat ca
tanh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards a cure of catarrh. If a courss
'f Pei una Is tnken during the eaily
filing months the cure will be prompt
nnd pcimt.ueiit. There enn be no
I failures If Pel una Is tnken intelligently
during tho favorable weather of spring,
As a fysleinlc catanh remedy ret una
eradicates catarrh fiom the system
wherever It mny bo located. It cure

tho sunn certainty ns catarrh of tho

A good thing for the blues is "Miss l'rlunt,"
1 lie- melange in which Marie Dressier appeared
at the Ljceum list night. It was her first ap
pearance here us u star and the reception she
received ought to encourage her lo come again,
"Miss 1'ilnut" was written by George V. Ho
bart and set to nnivtc by John L. Golden, There
ai e pretty girls, bright costumes, singing and
dancing galore and, added to this, there was Miss
Dressier, who is an evening's entertainment in
heisclf. She sang a number of coon songs in a
way that won gieat applause and Is calculated
to make May lrvvln gicen with envy.
Next to Miss Dressier the most mtrth-provok-lug
feature of Ihe performance was introduced
by William Ljtell as llaton Spnjce, a sporting
editor. He deliveied himself of Ihu most lemaik
able line of up-to-date slang that was ever heard
on the Lceum stage. Tho company assisting
Miss Dressier was a very satisfactory one.
The Casino Spectacle de Luxe.
"Ihe Helle of New York," with its merry music,
its pretty girls, gorgeous costumes and Its clever
eomedlans, now traveling blithely about America,
will come to the Ljcciim today, special matinee
and night, to show us a few new tricks she
learned during her phenomenal run of C97 per
formances at the Shaftesbury theater, London.
Ilia Helle" might have continued indefinitely
in London, so well was she liked by tho Hrltlsh,
but Manager George W. LeiKrer decided to bring
the company back to America for another trium
ph il tour.
the company tills season is a notable one,
with Miss Heulah Dodge, who has il store of good
looks and ability. During her metropolitan en
gagement in this part the critics waxed enthu
siastic over her performance. Among the other
lumbers of the coiipany to be seen here will
)j K. J. Connelly, cf the 1ndon company, Jo
Iph Kane, James Darling, Arthur Dcagon,
5eorge Tollman, -. S. Tarr, Mao Sailor, Flo
I'erry, Virginia Itoss and Grace Hutledgc. The
company numbers 6ltty-tlve iu a.l, and the entire
production this season is Identical with that
seen In London miring "'lho Ucllc's" prosperous
run at the Shaftesbury theater.
"At Plney Ridge."
The offering at the Lyceum for next Wednes
day night, April 3, will bo David Higglns, great
Southern play, "At l'lney Hldge." The action
of the drama is laid amid tho southeastern
ranges of tho lime Hldge mountains:. The scenes
simply show tho rudimentary life of tho Tennes
see hills as the more nornbro background of the
story, tho main action of whicli is carried for
ward iu the bright atmosphere of southern home
life. It is said to be full of human Interest,
and not oveidrawn either in incident or char
acter. Its men and women are types familiar to every
day life of tho region depicted lu tho play.
There Is quite a thread of characteristic comedy,
and the play Is ono of absorbing Interest. The
company is a powerful ono, and the scenery and
electrical effects beautiful.
The Bon Ton Stock Company.
Charles Lojhumo and his Hon Ton Stock com
pany will revisit and give local thcatcr-gous
another week cf repertoire, commencing Monday
next. This company proved prinio favorites on
IU last visit here, and was greeted with full
houses at each performance, and it can look
for a repetition of the business done hcielofore-.
"lho l'rlncess of Hatches" will be the open.
Ing bill Monday night. Their rcpertolic of plaja
has been revised, and Includes "Monte ClirUto,"
"A Flaming Mllllo'i," "Uio Grande" and othcis

The most spectacular dramatic disclosure, pei
taps of the ecison, was whin the Hroadway the
ater was reopened with "Tho 1'riio of reare."

whicli caused much discussion when It was pro
duced last summer at the Dairy I .a no theater,
