the committee is desirious of getting
the tickets sold as soon as possible
and asks the public who expect to
patronize the Chautauqua to be ready
to purchase their tickets at once.
Three classes of tickets are on sale.

is transferable and will admit the
bearer to all of the twelve sessions
are sold for $2.00. A ticket for chil-dren
under twelve years is also on
sale for $1.00. These are also trans-ferable.
As a special offer to those who are
employed in the factory and else-where
during the day and who can
not att end the afternoon sessions of
the Chautauqua an evening ticket is
being sold. These tickets are non-transferable
and contain the name of
the purchaser. They are sold for
$1.00. These evening tickets will not
be sold by the canvassers as will the
others. They will be sold through
the office of the company where one
may be employed*- In the: chocolate
factory the time keepers will handle
the pickets and it^will be necessary
for each employe desiring a ticket to
purchase it at that office where the
name will be placed on the ticket and
the sale recorded. In a similiar way
those who are employed in other com-panies
can secure the evening tickets
through their office.
A large number of booklets'giving
a detailed description of the whole
program for the week have been re-ceived
by local committee. These are
being distributed or can be had by
calling at either the Y. M. C. A. or
the Y. W. C. A. -The regular season
tickets are on sale also at both of
these buildings.
One change has been made in the
program as it has been advertised up
to the present time. On the fifth day
the debate on "Socialism" by Wm. H.
Berry and Geo. R. Kirkpatrick has
been changed from the afternoon to
the evening program, and the scien-tific
lecture by Welbourn has been
put oh the afternoon program instead
of the evening. This will enable
many more persons to hear the great
debate oh "Socialism." It is one of
the big features of the week.
