ORIENTAL TRADE.

In the last five years the largest per-
centage of gain in American exports
has been with Asia and Oceanica. The
figures of increase for ten months are
in the present year, gain of 226 per
cent. Temporarily, there is a falling
off in exports to China on account of
military operations at Pekin and the
disturbed condition of the country.
But to Japan this year the United
States has sent goods valued at over
$29 100000, or so per cent more than
in 1899. There has also been an in.
crease in exports to Hong Kong and
Asiatic Russia. Our exports to Africa
have almost tripled since 1895. stand
ing this year at $17,000,000 for ten
months. In Hawaii. the Philippines
and Alaska there is a large Increase in
trade, but as this is our own territory
the figures are not Included in this
showing
IL - W Jlle L dClllC lndI lle producers
of the United States may look for the
most rapid enlargement of foreign

DANCING AND SONG
Music and Beautiful Costumes Made the
Carnival a Success.

During the past few years numerou'
home talent entertainments have been
presented for the diversion and anus
ment of Marietta society at large. Op
eras, tragedies and comedies have each
in turn been enacted before audien y:
differing in size as well as in the de-
gree of appreciation which was accord
ed to the performers and their efforts
yet the sympathy and ready apprecia-
ton which an attentive audience al
most invariably is ready to grant in
generous measure to an entertainment
of merit may be, and often is, more
spontaneous from a gathering of fair
proportions than from crowded
house. For under the first mentioned
conditions the opportunities for both
seeing and judging are better than
when the house is filled to its fullest
capacity.
This was the case at the Auditorium
last evening, when the oDeratic carni-
val under the auspices of Marietta b.
p. o. E., No. AIT, was witnessed by an
appreciative and fair sized audience.
For every act and for every scene Of
the acts generous applause was be-
slowed on the performers.
The promoters and organizers Of
Wednesday nights entertainment can
crafty themselves by the assurance
that never was attendance more richly
deserved and encores more thoroughly
merited. The beauty of the costumes,
the may intriciacies of the dances and
the excellence of the musical parts all
combined to render the audience thor
oughly pleased with every feature of
the performance. From the grove to the
gay, from the sublime to the ludcrous,
all the different emotions possible to
the human heart were represented
with fidelity and power Little tots,
scarcely able to walk alone. were asso-
ciated with performers of mature age
and both in their respective ways in
terested and amused the audience.
Some of Marietta's best known musi-
clans delighted their admirers by
vocal numbers while music from the
orchestra and piano served to complete
the operate part. The different scenes
were so varied that the audience was
never for one moment suffered to feel
ennui, but was treated to variety in
costume, originality IN the dances anil
changes in the music throughout the
entire evening. The numbers Of the
carnival given last night were signal
successes and should be witnessed by
everyone. The program tonight in
cludes a number of new scenes and will
be fully as interesting asfWas that of
Wednesday night. st,l.-e. =
