The Austrian Wife.

What would the women's clubs OF
this country have to say had they to
face such decision as was handed
down by the Austrian supreme court OF
appeals not long ago? The decision i'll
brief was that if wife saves money
from the amount allowed her by her
husband for household expenses and
appropriates this money to her own use
she commits what is to all intents ana
purposes a theft. The case that brought
this decision was that Of couple
named Daun. After thirty years or
married life they were divorced, and
Mrs. Daun took with her the sum OF
S6o5, her savings of thirty years. Her
husband brought suit and recovered
the whole amount, and the judges made
the ruling that Mrs. Daun had prac'
tically committed theft.

AGu|NALDo
Will Be Held For The
Present As
PRISONER
Cen. Chaffee Instructed Not
Te Release Him

Washington, Nov. 23.-Instructions
have been given Gen. Chatfee to op-
pose any attempt made to secure Agu-
inaldo's release on writ OF habeas
corpus.
Secretary Root is determined to nip
in the bud any aspirations Aguinaldo
may have to appear before Congress
as hero, and directed Gen. Chaffee
to continue to hold him prisoner and
to deny his request to come to the
United States.
The reason for this action is found
in the recent activity of the Filipino
insurgents and the fear that any at
tention shown Aguinaldo will cause
him to be regarded as hero among
bis followers in the islands and stimu.
late them to renewed activity.

New York, Feb. 1.--R. g. Dun &

row will say.
The week in general business has
been without striking feature, but in
this respect the outcome has been IA
vorable. Not one of the great indus
tries finds any scarcity OF orders for
goods. and business Is done at prices
which show slight tendency to rise.
| except in textiles. which have been
affected by the reduction of ten to
twenty per cent. in the seasons open-
ing prices by the American Woolcn
| company.
While steel mills have contracts on
hand for their output from three to
six months ahead, prices naturally
| rule firm. Few actual advances are
recorded, but there Is expectation Of
| q higher figure soon for Bessemer pig
| iron. while rumors are numerous as
to n rise in billets. plates and struc-
| tural materials. All these lines show
a brisk demand Wire nails and
barbed wire were advanced 81 per. ton,
owing TO heavy orders from the west,
and IL is expected that the few mills

| Activity in TcSas oil fields has in
| influence on the sales of pipes and
tanks. Wages are in a fair way to he
| satisfactorily adjusted at valley fur
| naccs; the reduction agreed upon Is
less than originally announced En-
port orders decrease and the Russian
armor plate contract may not go 10
an American, although his terms were
the best. Boot and shoe dealers re-
ceive more orders, and although quo
tatlons are nominally unchanged.
many makers refuse to receive con-
tracts without a small advance.
A sudden increase in sales of wool
at the three chief eastern markets 10
/ $4,000 pounds. against . 500 400 in tho
preyious week docs not appear sign-
ficant. After such an unusually iull
season. some recovery was in order.
