The play in itself has drawbacks, 38 have all plays which rely largely upon the efforts of children to please; but the company which handled the parte was thoroughly capable of mastering them, of getting out of them as much humor as was possible, and delicately shading the emotional features to eminent satisfaction. Mr. E.

T. Stetson as "Bootles" was especially deserving, Mr. Tayleure as Lucy" was a typical English soldier and gentleman, and Mr. Hall was clever tn the role of "Capt. Gilchrist." Scrantonians were interested in Mr.

Bart Wallace, an old resident of this city, who handled the role of "Lieut. Paddy Mr. Wallace did it well, was almost perfect in the part, in fact, and WAS greatly admired. Little Charlie Reed and little Josephine Arthur are children such as are generally designated by ladies as being "very The latter sang in neat style. Miss Hannie M.

To-morrow evening it will be "'Kerry Gow." Of the former the Minneapolis Tribune says: "Shaun Rhue" is those Irish dramas so pleasantly tinotured with humor and pathos that while it tells the old story of poverty and virtue triumphing over wealth and villiany, it still serves to entertain. "Shaun Rhue," as presented by Mr.

Joseph Murphy and company, portrays the bright and dark sides of life on the "ould sod" in an intelligible and interesting manner. Mr. Murphy is one of the few Irish comedians who does not find it necessary to burlesque in order to please. In the dual role of "'Larry Donovan" and "Shaun Rhue" he is successful in presenting two distinct phases of Irish character. nich only need to be seen to be recognized -one the rollicking, good natured, open-hearted youth, the other the strolling vagabond whose love for a "drop of the cratur" cannot dull his native wit.

The support was satisfactory. MARGARET MATHER. Margaret Mather and Juliet have become two synonomous names during the term of eight years, in which Miss Mather has appeared almost consecutively in the role. Her performance of Juliet has become a classic as the daughter of Capulet. She has appeared 2,700 times and accomplished the unusual feat of appearing in that character for 100 consecutive nights in New York, a feat unprecedented by any American actress and only equalled by the 100 nights by Edwin Booth of Hamlet.

Miss Mather and her great of New York company appear at the Academy Music on Saturday evening, in this great play when a production entirely worthy of this great actress is promised. The Romeo for Mr. Otis Skinner is awaited with interest, he is well remembered as leading man with Augustin Daly, and Edwin Booth. The sale of seats open this morning at Powell's. "FAUST."

Mr. Morrison comes to us with two car loads of new and elaborate scenery, twelve calcium lights, and an electric plant from which thousands of brilliant lights are to be seen in "Marguerite's" garden.

The question 18, did the club intend to parade in Taylorville or Seranton? The answer is in Scranton, and parties intending to join the parade were instructed to meet at the station if they found it inconvenient on account of long working hours to meet farther up town. But the Truth correspondent was there spying about and had an excase to offer for not going with the boys, As the club is composed of the best young men of the place this young man will gain nothing by his persistent endeavors to throw cold water on every thing Republicans do as may be seen by his remarks in general.

PERMANENTLY CURED--I wag trombled for years with Blood Poison in its very worst form. I was treated by the very best physicians of Louisville, and Evansville, but they failed to benefit ine in any way. A few bottles of Swift's Specifle (S. 8. 8.,) cured me sound and well.

This was over four years ago, and there has been no return of the disease since, or ADJ symptoms of it. I have recommended it to others for Blood Poison, and in every 0880 they were permanently cured. D. H. KAIN, Mt.
