A Drama Replete With Human Interest
to be Presented.
Land Of the Midnight Sun" for scenic
effects is probably the most important
dramatic production Of the season. Mr..
A. Y. Pearson at least claims it to be
his most pretentious organization, and
he has ten, all excellent.
The new play is from the pen OF Mr..
Edwin Barbour, who Is not "a coming
man" Tin stage worldly for he Is already
here. Three OF his dramas have been
produced within the past year, all Of
which have achieved success and re-
ceived recognition. The author who,
blythe bye, favors the school OF realism.
has in the romance above quoted given
a tale OF rugged and emi-barbaric life
in Iceland. His characters IRE men and
women of to day, but Of type little
known except to the daring travellers
who seeks the lands beyond civilization.
True, now and then, the sea dogs Of the
polar region come among US, but indi.
vidually they are lost in the crowd and
tell us nothing. The legend of Mr..
brothers, unknown to each other except
by hearsay, and born to hate, like
Valentine and Orson they meet and
still unknown they CROSS each other in
love and war.
The action of the romance takes
place on the coast Of Iceland where the
midnight sun ia reflected by mountains
Of ice giving the beautiful Aurora
Borealis. Further inland the rugged
people are seen battling with the burn
ing mountains and earthquakes which
prevail. The toilers at the dread sui
phur mines are also pictured with inter-
= u, f,,1x, l.
liar rights of law and religion as seen
at the meeting OF Althing Strange as
these grand and weird situations may
appear the author declares the pictures
not over drawn but strictly realistic as
far as is possible to describe upon the
stage. The tale is replete with human
interest and lit up with humor, and the
ensem BILE will be interesting to young
ana old. The organization is booked to
appear at the Academy to morrow even
ing.

GO TO THE ACADEMY TONIGHT.

GO TO THE ACADEMY TONIGHT.
To night should see at tho Academy
of Music one Of the largest and most en-.
thusiastic audiences which Roanoke can
turn out. 1t is the occasion of the con
vention of prominent citizens of South
west Virginia, called for the purpose of
considering the question of holding an
industrial exposition this fall, and it
will be expected of Roanoke citizens,
both la lies and gentlemen, that they be
out en- masse to greet the hundred or
two delegates from ali over this section
OF tho country, who have responded to
the invitation recently sent out by a
committee OF our citizens to act upon
this important matter.
In another column this morning we
rspublisn the call for this convention,
In it is expressed the aim and object of
the movement which, it is to be
sincerely hoped, will reach it's head to-
night in the formation OF permanent
organization which will proceed at once
TO work out the plan proposed. To
every reader of TUE TINES that circular
is addressed, and everyone who can
possibly arrange to be present should
do so.
II you arc not Interested in the
movement, and we hope there is not a
mau, woman or child in this broad sec
tion, but what is, then go and hear the
speeches for them alone, for the whole
vast auditorium will ring tonight with
eloquence which only such as Virginia's
talented lawyers, judges and promn-
ent public citizens are capable of produc.
ing upon a theme which has for it's
good object the showing up "of the
wonderful natural wealth ana resources
OF this favored section.
In spite of adverse criticism and talk
about the hard times no time is more
apportune than the present for the de-
velopment OF such project Roanoke
and South invest Virginia has been in
lethargic state too long. Now is the
time. and the accepted time, to shake
off this semi-slumber.
Atlanta, the bustling city OF the new
South. Is now making plans and raising
money for a cotton States industrial ex-
position to be held in 1895; Baltimore is
already talking up big exposition for
1897; Richmond is putting forth more
than ordinary exertions to make the
fair of the Virginia State Agricultural
and Mechanical Society of unusual in
sterest If other sections are making
such efforts why not Southwest Vir-
ginia?
The failure to make the fair held in
Roanoke several years ago q success
should not deter any one from entering
into arrangements for holding a large
and more complete exposition this fall.
Zines and circumstances have changed
since that was held, and since then our
people have made for themselves a re-
putation which they should now prove
was we'll placed.
Citizens of Roanoke, go to the Acad-
envy onight and put yourself down as
in sympathy with this movement

DECIDED NEGATIVE VOTE

AGAINsT ACCEPTING THE REDUCTION, AND
 THE STRIKE IS STILL ON.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. 13.-Today's meeting of weavers was held in Music hall and was attended by union and non- union members. The attendance was very large, and an astonishing show of resistance was made. A motion not to accept the propo- sition made by the manufacturers was re- ceived with great demonstrations of ap- proval. A vote by ballot was agreed upon, and it was also agreed that the minority should abide by the decision of the major ity. The ballot resulted in an overwhelni- ing victory for those who do not wish to accept the reduction, the figures being S75 to 75.
 There was motion made and carried to hold mass meeting on the park grounds Monday morning, and it is believed that & large demonstration will tako place if the weather is favorable. There was large meeting of car6ers, moro than the number present being obliged to go away on ac- count of the lack of accommodation in the hall. The vote in this body was in favor of going to work under protest, the figures being z70 to 194.
 Today print cloths went down again, about POGO pieces weekly being sold into <anuary on basis of 2Ac. for 64x64s.

Congress had said tht ( be paid iD specie or it's equlveiant, but the government had no specie and no visible means of procuring 1t. It is true that con- siderable specie or hard money, as it had then been called, was brought into the country and disbursed by the British and French armies, but 1t had not reached the treasury. The worthless paper currency was now rapidly disappearing. In a short time the people began to realize the bene- fits of that infiexible law of trade and finance under which sound money in suffi- cient quantities to transact the business of the country will always make it's appear ance to take the place of unsound money, if the latter can be got out of circulation. It was not long until specie was circulating in all the channels of trade, and from that time until the close of the revolutionary war all the business of the government was conducted upon specie basis.

 The old Holland Land com pany's office dedicated today was erected, as nearly as can be determined, in 1913. Previous to that time the business had been transacted in smaller building, but during it's growth necessitated increased quarters and the present building was erected. 1t has a frontage of about 46 feet, with a depth of 35 feet and is two stories in height. It is built of stone in most substantial manner and stands practically the same as it did years ago when first erected and will doubtless stand for years to come. The Holland Purchase Historical society proposes to use it & museum, storing historical relics, connected with the Holland purchase within it's walls. The office was discontinued in 1887. The idea of preserving it as a historical land mark originated with Prof. John A. Ken nedy, principal of the village schools.
