ADJUSTMENTS.

Tonight and tomorrow night 1.-THE
Real Widow Brown will be produced
at the Academy of Music by one of A.
O. Scammon's companies. THE Real
Widow Brown" created a great sensa-
tion when first produced abroad in
London, and met with unprecedented
success. In New York city at the
Standard theater it sprang into in
Simultaneous popularity. THE Real
Widow Brown is a charming imper-
sonation of her class. The mistakes
and complications which arise from an
other endeavoring to- fill her position,
are ludicrous in the extreme.
What is everywhere considered the
strongest dramatic company on the
road this season at popular prices is
the one which surrounds Floy Crowell,
the popular faVorite who will open a
weeks engagement at the Frothing-
ham this evening. Included in the

ing's entertainment is the introduction
of clever sDecialties by Miss Grayson,
Ed Emory, the popular comedian;
Mack Bennett, late of Cleveland's min
strels, and Baby Spencer the most
phenomenal of child singers and dane
ers. Sydney Grundy's merry comedy,
"The Circus Girl" will be the opening

10, 90 and 80 cents. Matinees will begin
daily, commencing tomorrow, at which
10 cents will admit to all parts of the
house except Saturday when the prices

the night performances is as follows:
Monday, THE Circus Girl" Tuesday,
La Belle Russo" Wednesday, MOLLY
Bawn;" Thursday, Temptation of
Money" Friday, "A Fatal Error" Sat
urday, Dangers of a Great City" The
bills for the matinees will be announced
tomorrow.
Hoyt's "a Midnight Bell' is generally
conceded by press and public to be the
masterpiece of all his comedies, and
the cast that has been specially en-
gagged for it's presentation in this city,
is undoubtedly an Ideal one. The IA
vorite comedian, Digby Bell, and his
charming wife, Laura Joyce-Bell, the
eminent contralto, will be seen in the
stellar roles of Deacon Tidd," and the
'SplnSlGf, lney Will Ne supported Dy
an exceptionally brilliant cast. The
new music has been arranged for the
presentation by the famous conductor
of Gilmore's band, Victor Herbert, au-
thor of prince Ananias" and The
Wizard of the Nile" Complete new
scenery and accessories have been
painted by the celebrated artist, Voegt-
lin, and his assistants. Laura Joyce
Bell and the uuartette of the company
will be heard in a number of new and
catchy melodies. The production win
be under the personal direction and
management of Duncan 3. Harrison

emy of Music Thursday, Feb. II.
Al Reeves and his big burlesque com
pany, now playing to crowded houses
everywhere, will be the attraction at
Davis theater the first half of this
week, opening this afternoon. 1t is
without a doubt one of the grandest or
ganizations of its kind ever witnessed
on any American stage. Mr.. Reeves

to make his show a success, which SO
far has proven so. The ideas are orig

Frauds !!

Every now aud then the copper coun-
try IL visited by some irresponsible per-
son calling himself doctor, who never
graduated from a medical college, and in
order to hide his identity he either trav-
els under an assumed name, or calls him
sell some high-soundlng medical institute.
The various states should prohibit this
nefarious business and protect the lives
of our citizens.
The Upper Peninsula has within the
past few months been yisited by just such
men, and they continue coming regard
less OF the consequences.
We, as physicians. appeal to the citi-
zeus OF Houghton county to Investigate
the standing OF every oh ysican who dares
to advertise himself az specialist, espec-
tally those who travel through the coun-
try under the guise of a medical concern
or institute.
We are not stating this in order to see
how much space we eau fill nor TO do the
graduated physician an injustice, but
sc are determined TO expose those who
are not eligible to practice this noble pro-
fession and who exc out an existence by
bleeding the sick and afflicted.

Are che Greeks Lost to Shame?

What of the future? The Greek people
went to war to strengthen the Hellenic
race and help TO fulfill the Hellenic ideal
Have they irrevocably weakened the one
and destroyed the other? At a first glance
1t would seem so. The Turk is stronger
than he has been for many years. He has
learned that no power will coerce him.
The millions of Greeks in Asia Minor have
lost confidence in Athens. Crete is further
from union than ever Financially Greece
is on the verge of ruin. She will now
have to submit to the terrible indignity of
placing her revenues under foreign con-
troll, for time at least. The dynasty has
been shaken and the name of the heir to
the throne indissolubly connected with an
overwhelming national humiU ation. The
corruption of Greek politics, the miserable
personal struggles which have usurped the
place of party government the "spoils sys-
tenn" at its very worst, have had their nat
ural effect, and the constitution is thor
oughly discredited. The national vice of
windy enthusiasm for great ends. COM
bined with unwillingness to perform the
solid labors 10y which alone these can be
secured, has mt last brought despair into

business either under an assumed name,
or that OF some medical institute.
Our advice to the people OF this COM
munity is, before placing themselves
under the care OF any specialist tor treat
ment, to first learn who and what they
are; their reputation and pedigree by
writing to any OF the leading papers in
Detroit and enclosing a stamp FOR reply,
the information will be cheerfully given;
you would not trust stranger with all
your money, then why trust one who has
never graduated in medicine with that
which is far more precious to you, your
health and perhaps life.
The Detroit Sunday Sun, one OF the lead
ing weeklies in Michigan, also determined
some time ago to thoroughly investigate
the professional standing, reputation
and abilities OF every physician, medical
concern, institute, saDitarium, etc. They
had not proceeded far in their investga
tion when they discovered the irresponsi-
bility of number OF physicians, some OF
wnom were compelled to leave Detroit
after being exposed; so enthusiastic have
they become in their work, that they
have decided to continue the investiga-
ton until the State has been cleaned from
auacks, impostors. fakirs, etc.
Below is an accurate account taken
verbatim which appeared in that paper
August %, 1897.
Some weeks ago the Sunday Sun deter
mined to thoroughly investigate the
methods of the doctors, private insti.
tutes, medical concerns, etc. We propose

pecting public and exc out an existence

In our last edition we called attention
to two physicians who had made a spec

ushered into the private Office OF DR..

.Robin Adair's, Origin.

Those who have leaning to the senti-
mental side of history will accept the YER
sion that the hero Of the ballad was a
young and handsome Irish surgeon, who,
finding his way into London society about
the middle of the last century, was fortu-
nate enough TO secure the affections of
Lady Caroline Keppol, daughter of William
Anne, second earl of Albemarle, and his
wife, Lady Anne Lenncx, daughter of
Charles, first duke of Richmond. The
match was naturally looked on with dis
favor by the family of the young lady, and
IL was during period of temporary sepa-
ration that Lady Caroline is said to have
written the words of Robin Adair" and
set them TO the old Irish tune Of EILEEN
Aroon," which she had learned from her
lover. At length, however, love tri.
umphed, and the pair were united on Feb
%, 1853. Within a few days Adair was
appointed inspector general of military
hospitals, aud subsequently becoming a
favorite of the king was made surge n
general kings sergeant surgeon and sur
geon of Chelsea hospital. He died in 1890.

a thorough cure was effected, according
to their advertisement.
To this the doctor readily consented
and requested the prospective patient to
step into his private room for thor
ough examination.
After looking him over carefully the
doctor kindly informed him that he was
perfectly sound and not in need OF treat
ment, at the same time giving HIM some
valuable ADVICE az to how to keep well,
etc.
DIR. Goldberg declined to accept any
pay for the consultation and assured his
visitor that this was always free to
everybody.
Fully dozen OF their patients were in
teryiewed and they all expressed them
selves in the highest terms OF praise az to
their ability and straightforward man
ner OF doing business.
Ia looking over the records we find
that the doctor ia IA graduate from a
New York medical college in high stand
ing ana holds licenses from most of tie
states enabling him TO practice his pro-
fession.
