goers will then have An opportunity to
judge of Mr.. Hackekt in the role of Don
Caesar de Bazan, ia part which he him

any heretofore modelled for him. The
play Is by Victor Mapes, who calls it "a
new treatment of a famous stage charac.

Mr.. Mapes has taken the fascinating

and again in the last act even the kine
himself exchanges a few passes with Dor
Caesar, thus giving Mr.. Hackett ample
opportunity to display his splendid
workmanship. The production ran al
Wallacks' Theatre, New York, for nearly
three months, and is said to be one of the
most picturesque and historically accu-
rate ever made in this country. Every
costume, scene and property has beer

in THE Prisoner of Zenda,'' Rupert o

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York April 11.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
While cross currents in trade and indus
try make it difficult to characterize the
general trade situation the country over,
appearances would indicate that the check
given distributive trade by reactionary
weather crop uncertainties and additional
friction in Industrial lines is of a transit
tory character. Bank clearings, all things
considered, are of large volume. Railroad
earnings reported to BradstreSs point to
continued increases in nearly all leading
manufacturing lines, principally iron,
steel and lumber, cotton goods, coal min
ing, machinery making and host of
lesser industries. Jobbing distribution at
the central west and at leading eastern
centers notes a further quieting down,
but in the spring wheat sections Reports
are of undiminished activity. Southwest
ern trade reports continue of cheerful
nature.
Iron, Coal and Coke Active.
At Industrial centers in the south. iron.
coal and coke production IS active, ana
while the backward weather conditions
are credited with limiting demand In ag-
ricultural sections the strength or cotton
prices leads to a more hopeful FEELING
there, not entirely warranting the predic-
n
crop. Despite the lowering of the general
average of wheat as a result of the dry
weather of last fall and the early winter,
indicated by the government report, win
ter wheat crop prospects are still for a
crop in excess of 400, 200 bushels and
about equal, in fact. to the indicated final
outturn last year, A large acreage Is in
dicated in oats and that crop seems to
he progressing we'll AS to the corn crop
little doubt exists that large area will
be planted.
Cotton has continued to lead the staples
In the matter of bullish feeling. Cotton
goods have strengthened in tone, partly
on the rise in the raw product and part
" on the realization of the fact that
the Increased wages for 1900 employees
involve higher prices for the finished pro-
duct. Wool has tended to weaken, open
ing the spread of the strike of weavers
| to other mills of the leading interest.
Outside manufacturers are said to be
profiting by the interruption of the
leading companies deliveries. Aside from
the changes noted, staple prices manifest
steadiness. Coffee is slightly weaker
owing to the pressure of the enormous
visible supply, the worlds stock being
nearly 1900, 600 bags or 80 per cent larger
than a year ago. Raw sugar has weak
ened on the anticipation Of legislation in
the matter of Cuba and record low prices
have been touched again. The same is
also true of silver prices.

shortly looked for at Cleveland. The
building trades and therefore lumber,
hardware and the multitude of other lines
dependent thereon report undiminished
activity.
No special activity is noted in boots
and shoes. Eastern shipments in fact con-
tinued to fall behind a year ago. The
general appearance of the leather trade
is one<of quiet.
Cereal prices moved within narrow linn
its early, pending the publication of the
government report some strength being
impaired by the reports of better export

with the gathering of the crop. But this
strength disappeared later and the report
itself, though claimed to be a surprise,
exercises little effect, the net changes for
the week being slight. Hog products
strengthened slightly on the small rush
of hogs and also on increased demands
by packers.
Wheat, including flour exports for the

Pay of Township Trustees.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
There assembled at Indianapolis last week
a body of officials of the State, known
as township trustees They were a repre-
sentative body of men. and their assembling
together was a proper thing to do They
cussed and discussed the business over
which they have control. They resolved
many things and reresolved one thing, viz,
that they are not paid enough money for
their arduous Iabors, and also want longer
terms of office; they therefore demand
LEGISLATION that will give them these things.
This is not strange. Most of the meetings
of officials in the State are for the same
purpose-that of getting their salaries
raised. The poor. overworked trustees of
this part of the State appoint one day in
the week to attend to public business, and
generally can't be found only a portion
OF that time, yet in the time they can be
found they can transact more business than
their offices demand. There are in Henry
county thirteen good and capable men,
against whom no charges come, except
from some one afflicted with that tired
feeling" who has been turned down by these
trustees. Now. IL these trustees find they
can't afford to transact the business of
their offices for the pay they now receive
there is no law to prevent them from re-
signing; besides, there are many reliable,
trustworthy, responsible men hunting just
such snaps at present prices. II is hoped
the trustees will consider this subject care
fully and prayerfully before taking such
a rash step. N.
Spiceland, Ind, Nov. %.
