increase of foreign purchases convinces the

The monetary str:gency which at last

vention OF exports and their absorption OF
enormous capital in carrying unprecedent-

time to foreign consumers would have
brought gold enough to avert much evil.

The Javanese Village in the Midway
Plaisance-Recept and Dedi-

in Session in Exposition Grounds
Other Notes of Interest.
Java village in Midway Plaisance has been
rightfully classed among the meritorious en-
terprises and exhibits at the Worlds Fair.
Situated in the most prominent section Of
this truly wonderful street, and covering q
stretch OF ground only equaled by one other
concessionaire the buildings OF the little
people from the Eastern Archipelago have
Tor months attracted the attention and ad-
miration OF the thousands OF people who
daily travel over the white road. The pro-
moters OF the enterprise had two motives in
view when they accepted the invitation ofthe
United States Government to exhibit at the
Worlds Fair the resources OF the island and
the customs and manners of the people
The first was to make n vigorous effort to
Introduce into the United States the de-
ucious and unadulterated coffee and tea
grown upon the big estates OF the island.
The other motive was TO show to the people
OF other countries visiting the Fair the Gus
toms and manners OF the inhabitants Of the
island OF Java. No expense was spared in
preparing the building material with which
equipment OF 1876 natives with the parapher-

In the bamboo house in the center OF the
colony, there is nothing in the construction
of the village that Is not genuine. Every
house is built OF native woods and grasses,
and was first set up In Java before its remov-
al to Chicago. Then, too, native workmen
put the buildings together without the use
OF ten pounds OF nails. One Of the striking
features OF the village is the theatre--the
largest and by far the best appointed in Mid
way. The performances are OF most re-
fined character, and provoke hearty demon
strations OF approval. The orchestra is com.
posed Of a score OF natives, who wear red
Jackets and sit In tiers back OF the perform.
ers. The music is delightfully."- weird, the
mellow boom OF the great gongs and the
measured rattle OF the xylopbones breaking
melodious upon the ear. Among the per
formers are sweet-faced girls from the roya
theatre OF the late Sultan Of Solo, and iron
