Photographs at The Library.

Following is description Of the pho
tographs on exhibition in the public
library until August Dist:
This exhibition consists of one hun.
dred photographs selected from the Sella
Collection of Alpine and Caucasian
views. the property of the Appalachian
Mountain CLUB of Boston, which has
generously loaned them to the Library
Art CLUB.
These photographs are. taken by Wit
torio Sella, an amateur photographer, a
resident Of Northern Italy. By vocation
he is wooden manufacturer. but his
summer vacations for ten years have
been spent in mountaineering and pho
Biography. From 1SS0-SS he made an
pual excursions among the Alps, and in
1S89-90 two visits to the Caucasus, In
Southern Russia.
At the Geographical Congress in Tu-
rim, in 1898, Mr.. Sella was awarded the
''grand gold medal and diploma of
honor in a competitive exhibition of
landscape photography.
The Transcript said, at the time of
their exhibition in Boston, "These I'M
common pictures afford vivid glimpses
of the wonderful and unknown world of
| snow and ice which exists in sthe high
Alps, world of terrible desolation and
isolation and Of awful beauty and mai
esty. Climbers have hitherto been the
only ones to see these things, and it is
the distinction of Mr.. Sella that he has
brought such a rare sensation within the
reach of all. Snow scenery has never
been so beautifully and faithfully repre-
sented. 1t testifies in most convincing
manner to his skill, his taste, his indus
try and his courage
1t is interesting to note in this connec-
ton that Mr.. Sella accompanied Prince
Luigi's expedition to Mt. ST. Elias in
1897, and an account of the trip is about
to appear, with illustrations from his
photographs. 1t will be published in
Italian, French, German and English,
and the entire proceeds are to be donat-
ed TO fund for aged and crippled AL.

Death of Frederick Hoyt.

Frederick Hoyt one of the oldest cti-
zens of our town died at his home on
Main street, South side, Friday last, the
Sd instant.
Readtield, Kennebec county, was the
place of his nativity, the date of his birth
was Nov. 20, 1915, and he came to Show
hogan in 1850. He worked for some
years in the oil cloth factory and after
that at tanning. He was for 30 years in
trade and is remembered by the present
residents of our town, generally, as a
shoe dealer in the store now occupied by
Mr.. Weymouth in the building for many
years owned by him on Water street.
He was married to Sarah Boardman of
Norridgewock, now deceased, and they
had one son, Frederick W., who died
some II years ago An only grandson,
promising youth, also died few years
since so that no descendants survive him.
Two sisters survive him. They are
both well along in years. He was good
citizen and worthy man.
Funeral services were held at his late
home, Monday forenoon, conducted by
Rev. A. j. Rscklifi. Burial was in thu
South cemetery. attended by a good
number of citizens ard several neces
from other towns.

Our Foreign Trade In 1900.

The report upon the foreign commerce
OF the United States during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1900, which has
just been made up by the Treasury Blu.
reau Of statistics, shows an astonishing
increase In the export trade. The total
of exports for the year was 1894, 1856,
371, which was nearly one hundred
million larger than the figure for 1899.
During the last decade the volume of
exports has nearly doubled. Imports,
during the same period, have grown only
slightly. The recent marvellous increase
In our foreign commerce, which has
lion dollars In 1890 TO over two billion
dollars in 1900, is made up in very large
part, therefore, of increased exports.
In connection. with this Increase in
exports two noteworthy facts appear.
The first is the enormus increase in ex.
ports of manufactured articles, accom-
panied by relative falling off in the
exports of agricultural products. The
total exports of manufactures amounted
in 1900 to 1892, 2S4, 1866, representing
3l.50 per cent of all the exports. In
1890 the corresponding total was only
$l51 ,l02, 376, of 1877 per cent. In ten
years then, manufactured exports have
increased absolutely nearly three-fold,
aud relatively to the total exports two,
fold. Meanwhile, the percentage for
agricultural products has fallen from
seventy-four per cent in 1890 to sixty per
cent in 1900 There has been, of course,
large absolute increase in this class of
exports, but the gain here has been
much less relatively than In the case of
manufactures. During the last year
there was falling off of over five per
cent in agricultural and an increase OF
over three per cent in manufactured
exports. The American manufacturers,
ii appears, are pushing their way into
foreign markets more rapidly than are
American agriculturalists.
The second significant fact in the sta
tistics is the increase in the imports of
manufacturers materials. The per cent
age of the total imports represented by
the two classes of articles in a crude
condition and articles wholly or partially
manufactured, which are used AS ma
terials, increased from 40.7 per cent In
1899 to 49, per cent in 1900. There was
relative falling off 10 the other classes
OF imports. This increased importation
of manufacturers materials has gone
hand in hand with increased expectation
of manufacturers products. We are
buying more raw materials and selling
more finished goods. Boston Transcript

At dinner party the other day a

Business Situation.

r. G. Dun & CO. in their weekly Re-
view of Trade say
Failures by branches of business, dur
ing July, given in detail today, show n
total of 1893 commercial concerns with
aggregate liabilities of $9,75l, 755 and
four banking defaults for $20l, 900.
Manufacturing failures numbered 1888,
with liabilities of S., III, 6S2, and trading
$50 with $3,324, 1866 liabilities. The total
shows heavy increase in comparison
with the corresponding month of last
year, which is mainly due to phenomen-
ally sound conditions existing at that
time when the amount of liabilities was
the smallest. with one exception, in any
month of the 50 covered by these re.
turns.
Copper exports in July are estimated
at 10, 66l tons, against 1850 in 1899, and
the amount coming into sight liz the last
half wear for home consumption is only
65,025 tons, a decrease of 19,467 tons, a
decrease of 10, 467 tons. The foreign de.
mand for btu minous coal is heavy, but
producers hesitate to contract shipments
with home prices tending upward.
Failures for the week were 22S In the
United States, against 1872, last year, and

The Conviction of Roberts.

Utah has in measure indicated it.
self through the determined prosecution
and conviction of Brigham H. Roberts
on charge of unlawful cohabitation. or
living with plurality of wives. Two
trials were necessary, az in the first the
jury disagreed. 10 the second, however.
Mormon jurors united with Gentiles and
pronounced Mr.. Roberts guilty of hold
ing out third wife to the world, while
maintaining his relations with his first
wife. 1t would not have been possible
in other days to have prevailed upon
Mormons to convict one of their own
number in a case affecting their religion.
On the records Of the Utah courts, dur
ing the polygamy prosecutions from
1892 to 1889, can he found many cases
giving proof of Mormon determination
not to submit to the laws which they
declared were unconstitutional, as being
an interference with the exercise OF
religion. That mixed jury has now
been able TO agree in trial under such
laws shows that public sentiment in
Utah has changed and the Mormons feel
it is necessary to heed the opinions of
the American people. No doubt the
outburst against Mr.. Roberts and his
rejection by Congress have been lesson
and with Roberts disgraced at home ano
abroad there is little danger that another
polygamist will attempt to atfrout tht
Nation by endeavoring to obtain seai
in Congress. From such condition il
is easily possible for the people of Utat
to advance to the position where they
will decline to permit any polygsmist
to represent them even in State affairs
