Zaza

One of the biggest houses of this
season was present to witness the pro-
duction of ZaZa at the Auditorium
last evening. A satisfied and pleased
audience 1t was, too, after the play had
proceeded beyond the first act, which
we would criticize as having too much
hubbub in it to be really pleasing.
The successive acts carried the plot
through such phases as tend to bring
out all the acting which intense situa-
tlons provoke.
The idea of the play is the transfer
nation of gay concert singer who is
counted and petted by selfish men, lat
er commits a serious breach, but final
ly awakens to the awfulness of her
situation and has the womanhood to
confront it squarely, and conquer her.
self to her final great advantage and
peace of mind.
The play as whole is a sermon
which bristles with the keenest kind
of points which must stick what they
touch. \
miss Howard, who takes the name
part, and about which character the
whole fabric hangs, does her part ex-
.remely well, and shows an ability to
express a wide range of feeling.

The Marietta Daily Leader
FRIDAY, NOV. II, 1899.
Board Of Trade.

Inc regular meeting OF the Marietta
Board of Trade was held at the Mari
eta Club Rooms last evening. The at
tendance was not large, although sAere
were matters of importance for con-
slderatlon.
President s. j. Hathaway called the
meeting to order and the minutes of
the preceding meeting were read and
approved.
The committee, Messrs Wood and
Eblnger, appointed at the last meeting
to Solicit subscriptions to the amount
Of y4,U,y to be paid for the removal of
the Mountain state Manufacturing
plant to this CITY, had chosen Mr.. Stan
ley as It's third member, and he made
the report.
Mr.. Stanley slated that the prevail
ing sentiment among the business men
was in favcr of taking Wlliamstowns
interests into consideration in the
matter as Wlliamstown was practical
ly part of Marietta and 1t would be
unjust to remove plant now located
in one part of the city to another part,
to the disadvantage of the former.
However, If Williamstown did not
care to keep the plant within its bord-
ers and If the company intended NOV
ing elsewhere the amount could and
would easily be raised in this city.
Mr.. Stanley also said that 5000 had
been subscribed and that there was
5000 more in sight, but that ii would
be a hard task to raise the monty un-
til the business men saw that Will
Jamestown was being fairly treated.
After some discussion of the merits
OF both sides of the question "A motion
was made to accept the report and dis
charge the committee. The motion
carried.
Judge Leeper reported for the COM
mittee on the extension of the city
limits He said that the City Engl-
neer was preparing map of the city
and surrounding country, and that af-
ter rts completion, the committee
would De better able to report and that
they could report next meeting.
The Secretary read the report of the
committee appointed to prepare indus
trial statistics of the city to be sent to
industrial agent of the B. & O. The
report had been modified inssome ways
and completed since the last meeting.
The report was accepted and the com
mit'tee authorized to send the paper to
the industrial agent.
The banquet committee reported in
favor of holding a banquet about the
middle Of January. The report was ac-
cepted.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
l--ursday u evening, Dec. 81.
