SUED FOR DIVORCE IN
HIS DECLINING YEARS
Aged Man Makes Pathetic
Defense to Charges of
His Spouse.

After forty three years of married
life, aged Daniel Harris. i'll and with
out funds. has come into court to de-
against him by his wife, Hannah. who
charges him with failure to provide,
wi1lful neglect and cruelty. The suit is
remarkable in the fact that the liti-
giants have grown from youth to tot
tering age together and have six chill
dren, who are now men and women
well along in years.
Harris expresses establishment that
his wife should have sued him for d.
vorce, for, he says, she we'll knows that
he has been i'll and unable to work for
six years and that long ago he retired
from business and since then he and
his wife have been dependent upon
their children for maintenance. During
the almost half a century of their mar
ried life, the aged man says. he never
once treated his wife cruelty nor did
he neglect her. his only offense being
that age and weakness compelled him
to cease in his efforts to accumulate
worldly goods. He asks that her petit
ton for divorce be denied, believing
that she soon will repent Of her act
and take him back to live with her dur
ing the few years that remain on earth
for them.
divorce was granted yesterday to
May F. Monsch from Wallace T.
Monsch for willful neglect John j. La
van secured decree from Alta NJ. La
vaff for desertion. May Johnson has
sued Harry NJ. Johnston for divorce on
the ground of desertion. Josephine
Arndt asks for divorce from Charles
w. Arndt on the grounds OF desertion
and cruelty.

UDELL STILL SEEKS
TO CONTROL ESTATE
Defeated in His Effort to Re-
move Aged Juana Mar
shall's Guardian.

Alva Udell has again been defeated
In an effort to gain control of the
estate of aged Juana Marshall. who re-
Gently startled the police with a tale
that unknown enemies had attempted
to poison her. After a hearing in Judge
Graham's court, at the conclusion of
which the old woman was declared in
competent and the Union Trust Com
pany named her. guardian, Udell pre-
sented a petition to revoke. the letters
of guardianship, claiming that he held
a deed of trust to Mrs. Marshalrs
estate. in which one w. ]. Gray was
named with him as cO-trustee.
Yesterday Udell's petition came up
for hearing before Judge Kerrigan. and.
to the establishment of the petitioner,
Gray appeared and testified that the al
legation that he was named in any
deed of trust with Uden was not based
upon fact. He had met Udell but once,
he said, and had never authorizedS any
one to use his name as trustee OF
Juana Marshall's estate.
The result was that the court prompt
ly denied UdelPs petition. Udell still
has one card left in the nature of a
petition to revoke the letters Of guar
dianship over the person Of the aged
woman. He says she Is of sound mind
and body and anxious to take up the
active management Of her estate. and
this in the face of the fact that when
she comes to court the old woman Is
supported between two friends, for her
so years have deprived her OF the
power to stand alone. This last petit
ton will come up next week.

RE TRADE
RATHER QUIET
Demand for Spring and
Summer Wearing Apparel
Is Not as Good as Expected
DEALERS ARE CAUTIOUS
Adverse Weather Conditions
Furnish Cause for Com
plant Among Merchants

NEW YORK, May 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say: Unreasonable weather is the
chief cause of complaint, both as TO dis
tribution of merchandise and agricul-
tural developments. In many leading cit
les retail trade in spring and summer
wearing apparel is falling behind expec-
tations, and there is less than the Gus
tomary recorder business in wholesale and
Jobbing departments. Although no actual
reduction In the crops is yet assured, suf-
1cient uncertainty has appeared to rem
der dealers in the farming districts
somewhat cautious regarding the ac-
emulation of supplies beyond current
requirements Otherwise the trade situa-
ton is satisfactory. Manufacturing ac-
tivity is fully maintained. the percentage
of idle machinery being smaller than at
any recent date and the textile industries
making notable progress under the stimu-
lus of advancing raw materials The few
strikes now in progress cause little in
terruption, and some of the July l wage
scales have been adjusted, but others are
still under discussion. Railway earnings
thus far available for May, show an aver
age gain Of s per cent over last year, and
foreign commerce at this port for the
last week increased $3957, 1879 In value of
exports, while imports declined $592, 312 in
comparison with the same week in 1904
Failures this week numbered "a IN the
United States, against 23e last year, and
II In Canada, compared with IL year
ago.
Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Ad-
verse weather conditions are a leading
source Of complaint this week, but clear
ing skies. now reported throughout a
large area of the country, bid fair to re-
inforce existing optimistic views as to
late summer and fall trade.
Exports are close to the record mark
for the season, and some gain is noted in
corn, which may presage turn in the
tide of the grain trade.
Railway earnings continue exception
ally good despite the smaller cereal
movement the first quarter of 1905 show
ing gain of per cent in net on gross
gain Of per cent. Nine months Of the
fiscal year the returns have increased z
per cent on gross gain of per cent.
New business In lumber Is reported
rather quiet at New York, but shipments
on orders already booked are very large.
The Pacific Coast lumber trade reports
continued improvement.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending May IS number 49,
against 15s last week, 215 in the like week
in 1904. 155 in 1903, 162 in 1902 and 1872 in
1901. In Canada failures number II, as
against IS last week and II In this week
year ago.
Wheat Gncluding four exports for the
week ending May Is are 1,512,550 bushels,
against 89e, 355 last week, /, 1853 this
week last year, $3.50 ,373 in 1908 and 5, 1884,
$50 in 1902 From July to date the ex-
