OBEYED ORDERS.

An amusing anecdote is related of all English butler whose taste for the i1n- pressive was too much for the family whose service he had entered. Almost his first duty was to announce the ar rivals at his employers first ''at home' of the season. The earliest guests to appear were Mir and Mrs Penny and their daughter. old friends of the fam fly. The butler announced them in measured tones, "Alr Edwin A1gernon Pembroke Penny. Mrs Edwin Algernon Pembroke Penny, and Miss Maude Victoria Penny" Other arrivals were announced at equal length Before the next "at home" his employer said tbat he would prefer to have his guests an- nounced more briefly. The butler said nothing His feelings had been wound ed. and he was, unlike most of his kind. clever.

Totals ,

OUCH figures as those given in the o above table tell the reason of the
 aninosity of European countries against American goods at the pres ent time. The balance of trade is all in favor of this country. American exports are growing out of all propor- tions to American imports; the mar ]iets that Germany, England, France and practically every great nation of Europe have in the past considered their exclusive fields have been in vaded by the American manufacturer who has captured the sales, while we in turn have not increased our Pur- chases abroad. Such condition IS making idle factories and idle hands in Europe, a condition which Europe is seeking means to prevent.
 Nothing could well be more gratify- ing than the picture of our foreign trade as it is to-day, by comparison with the figures of very recent years. It is all the more remarkable because our progress has been achieved with but little effort and by means not di- rected specifically to the promotion of foreign trade, but largely fortui- tous, and springing from our intense absorption, for many years, 1n do

GIRLS QUEER AMBITION,

The widowers of Hoboken were
 aroused recently by the appearance in
 q German newspaper in that city of
 an advertisement stating that |; hus-
 band was wanted, says the New York
 Times. The advertisement, which was
 inserted by Miss Martha N'allnoN. q
 young woman not long in this coun-
 try from Germany. expressly stipulat-
 ed that the applicant must be q
 WldOWer With seven children.
 While Hoboken is infested with wid-
 overs. there are few who could meet
 the requirements of the last clause in the advertisement. Quite a number of bereaved ones applied for the Do- sition offered by Miss Wallnox and offered as q guarantee of good faith anywhere from three 10 five mother less ones. But Miss Wallnox held out for seven. There were even offers | made of fine bona fide first mortgage children with an agreement to sup ply the remainder from any first-class | orphan asylum ill order to close the deal but Miss WallnoN refused to negotiate. Seven was her lucky num- 1 Der, she maintained, and she declined
 to begin housekeeping with q less | number of children. She said she was afraid she might get lonesome with
 only four or five youngsters about the | house.
 At last Joseph S. Arnot, of 221 River
 street, who is known among his friends
 as ''The Count applied for the po- Sition of helpmate to Miss Wallnox

 "It is the relative cheapness of Amer ican steel that has given it preemi- hence, and it is the same with other products that are winning their way abroad" says Frederic Emory, chief of the bureau of foreign commerce of the state department. Continuing, he says: "Ecnomy of production is the master key that unlocks for us mar kets that seemed a little while ago to be inexorably closed. This econ- omy of production implies not 1nere- ly low prices to the foreign consumer, but greater degree of excellence, q superior adaptation to his wants"
 Throughout Europe there are al- most countless reasons given for the growth of American competition. It is attributed to almost every possible and impossible cause and condition, but a great many writers have solved different atures of the problem. Some of these attribute it to lul-

Brahmin View of East and West.

The subject of social intercourse between Europeans and Indians has frequently been a grand theme with some writers and speakers. There are men who are too ready to throw the whole blame for the existing state of things on the Europeans, who are charged with refusing to accept Indians on terms of perfect equality, while, as a matter of fact, it seems to us that. except in purely | official rela tions as between superior and subordinate. it is the Indian l that considers himself to be of a purer caste aud incapable of adjust 1 ing his scruples and his habits to the

mestic industry and internal develop ment. In other words, we have reached a surprising eminence in the eXportation of manufactured goods, not because we were seeking that goal, but because in developing our resources, in manufacturing for the home market, we attained an excel lence and comparative cheapness of production which, to the astonish- ment of ourselves as well as of the world at large, has suddenly made us a formidable mpetitor-perhaps the most formidable oi all-in the great international rivalry for trade.
 During the year ended December 31, 1900, according to United States treasury returns, the imports of the United States amounted in round numbers to $s3o, ,ooo, 900, an increase of over $3a, ,oeO,o ,ooe compared with 1899, while the exports aggregated $1 ,47S,- OOo ,o0O, an increase of S202, ,4So,o 900. The exports in 1900 exceeded the i'm ports by $64s, BOG. .eoO. Of the exports, the percentage of manufactured goods was 3O.3s in 1900, 3o.39 in 1899, 24.9b in 1898, and 2493 in 1895. Of the i'm ports, nearly AS per cent, it is es- timated by the treasury department, were materials, either crude or part ly made up, for use in our manufac- turing industries, an increase of over 35 per cent. in 1899 and 1900, as com pared with the entire period from 1890 to 1898. In other words, our in dustrial growth continued in 1900 at rapid pace, enabling us to take less finished goods from other countries, ssld to furnish more.
 The most striking fact in our ex- port development is the remarkable growth of the foreign demand for our iron and steel, our exports amounting to nearly $13e,ooo, GOO in 1900, against s3a 100000 in 1895. In an article in the New York Evening Post of January 12, 1901, Mir. Andrew Carnegie says the United States has not only supplied its own wants, "but is competing to supply the wants of the world, not only in steel, but in the thousand and one articles of which steel is the chief component part" and expresses the opinion that the increasing demand from the world ct large "can be met only by l the United States" t'The influence l of cur steel-Eaakin9 caracity," adds Mir.

proved machinery, others to natural resources in crude materials, others to the efficiency of the American worlSingman, but of all the various reasons given that by Dr. Vosberg- Rekow, of Germany, head of the German bureau for the preparation of commercial treaties, man we'll versed in all that pertains to tho worlds commerce, attributes the re- markable growth of exports of American manufactures to Europe, in part, to the activity of our consul lar service. "The United States" he says, "has covered Europe with a network of consulate and makes it's censuls at the same time inspectors of our exports and vigilant sentinels, who spy out every trade opening or advantage, and promptly report it." Dr. Vosberg-Rekow also dwells upon the eminently practical character of American industrial and business methods. "Germany's industrial ad- vancement," he says, ''is principally due to the thoroughness of her tech nical education. It is strengthened by the continuous subs tituting of ma chinery and machine tools for hand labor. Still, in this respect, the Eng fish industry in some branches is ahead of us. It is worthy of note that in this evolution, too, the United
 States has the foremost place and
 has made gigantic strides, not only in applying machine tools, but in in- venting and manufacturing them, so that to-day she supplies us. This signaliZes in an extraordinary degree
 American intelligence. Thus, the Americans, though wanting our su-
 perior technical education, thanks
 to their practical eye improve upon
 our methods and apparatus. Theirs is rather the activity of an experi- mentalist than that of a trained craftsman; but a clever faiseur, if he but have assurance and luck, may distance the educated master. The
 Americans have no thorough educa- ! ton; nor do they possess Q modern industrial system as we Europeans
 understand the term. The American applies himself to a single branch or to specially, with utter disregard of European methods and sheir results;
 be davotex to his work an amount of saergy which stupefies Europeans;
 and, for awhile, he succeeds in dr;v- ing us out of the line of articles on which he has centercd his energy"

WHITE RATS IN VAUDEVILLE

WHITE RATS IN VAUDEVILLE.
 There was q fair attendance at the opening of the three nights session Of vaudeville at Polls last night, and those who were present were pleased at some of the acts and not so well pleased at others. There were several good entertainers on the program and they did make good and received due credit flor their acts. There were two singers who first of all pleased the people with their act. Misses Big ger and Dreher have been seen here before and last night they made just as favorable an impression as on their former visit. MT and Mrs Brun do a very clever act in paper tearing. which was enjoyed. Swan and 0'Day in their black face speciality were eN- cenent. and they shone out in compaf- iSon to some of the others. There were a few other good numbers and if you want vaudeville. wh! you can sec some pretty good numbers if you at tend the performance tonight.
