MIR. DERS'LECTuRE.
THE NOTED LABOR LEADER
GREETED BY a LARGE AUDI
ENCE LAST NIC, HT


a large adience assembled at the
Academy of Music last night to listen
to Mr. Eugene V. Debs, the noted la
Dor leader, deliver his address on La
Dor and Liberty"
The members of the Central Labor
Union occupied seats on the stage, and
the speaker was introduced by MIR. L.
V. Curtis, the president.
Mr. Dehs' preliminary remarks were
very brief and he at once entered on
the subject matter of his address. He
arraiened the competitive system and
the trusts. and eXtOiled organized labor
as step toward the universal rcccg-
milton Of the brotherhood of man.
In a most interesting manner Mr.
Debs traced the history of labor from
the time workmen used simple tools.
and owned those tools, to the present
ase OF machinery, when the man who
owns the machine does not use 1t. and
the man who uses it does not own it,
He also touched on MISREPRESENTATION
caused by competition, and under-con-
sumption, caused by lack of means in
the hands of labor
Mr. Dnhs-Aas- followed closely
throughout his address, and was greet
eel by frequent applause.
This is his first appearance In Nor
folk, and he made Il very favorable i'm
preston on his hearers.
Mr.. Debs will speak at Newport News
tonight and tomorrow.

VIII LIMIT TICKET SALES.
TEN TO ONE PURCHASER FOR
MANSFIELD'S "CYRANO DE
BDRGE RACr

Lessee Thomas G.. Leath and Mana
ger a. B. Duesberry. of the Academy
of Music. have decided to limit the
iieidw, In "Cyrano de Bergerac," which
VIII be presented at the Academy of
Music on the night of March 9Th, to ten
seats TO any one person.
This results from the recent great de-
inano Tor seats for 1.-The Christian
and the dissatisfaction OF many per-
sons who were forced to pay specula-
tors high prices for tickets The prices
will be from 90 cents TO $3.50. The re-
served seat sale will open F.iday.
March I'd, at Jam
Manager Duesberry stated last night
10 representative of the Virginian-Pi-
lot that he would appreciate it if per-
sons wnen sending Others to purchas SC
seats for the night OF March 9TH would
give their representative authority in
writing to purchase their seats. He
states that these lists will be carefully
scanned and the management OF the
theatre will make every effort to pre-
vent spectators obtaining seats
1T may be timely for the pubic to
note that 1T is expected the demand
for seats for Richard Mansneld's per-
foimance will break all former records.
anu persons who desire seats would do
well to have their representatives in
line the night before the opening Of tbs
box-oflce. With the limit placed on
ticket sales. and the exercise OF close
scrutiny of applicants who appear to
be buying tickets for. specu'ation. the
management hopes to protect theatre
patrons from q repetition of the condi-
tens that prevailed at the time of the
presentation of The Christian"

Palkersburg. Oct. 15.-Here.s one OF

German farmers. IT goes without say

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

The man who doesn't feel like giving
praises continually that he is alive, in
this Iowa October weather. ought to be
taken some where for treatment re-
marks the Davenport Democrat.
The Williams Wasp sums up conclus-
ions in. this way: Our democratic
friends make light Of the prosperity ia
sue. They can not deny that farm land
everywhere has advanced in price and is
.saleable now and was not saleable four
years ago. Horses cattle, sheep, hogs
grain and everything produced on the
farm commands a much better price
than before Mckinley was elected. But
suppose there had been no prosperity.
our democratic friends do not offer any.

the islands is not going to make pros
psrity here Free silver, if 1t means
in the platform, has been DEM
onstrated as a false theory. The facts
the democrats are running big bluff
without even a pair of deuces in their
hand
The keokuk Gate City notices that
@ Mr., Bryan is al a decided disadvantage
in this campaign. He has to contend
against both Mckinleyism and Bryan
ism.

You can but know, however. that since

teenth amendment does not interfere

has not done. The senate has succeeded
in passing three separate bits amy one
of which would check TO a marked ex-

house is controlled by Goeiaelites and
has been insisting on the passage Of a
measure giving the republicans an UNI

BRYAN AND THE suLu TREATY.

The New York Tribune calls atten-

stgnorance OF tricks in the following:
The democratic candidate for the
