The empress began her charitaple
work when still crown princess, ana
today the Evangelical missions nave
1850 branches all over the empire In
Berlin alone there are fifteen stations,
with 130 sisters. In times or epidemic
that number Is largely Increased.
The sisters tend TO the sick poor,
particularly women and children.
When the housewife is stricken with
illness. leaving her little ones unpro-
tected, a postcard addressed to her
majesty quickly brings a sister. ano
the sister never comes with empty
hands. In the homes FOR the educa-
ton OF nurses, established by the en-
press, sisters are taught not only TO
minister TO the sick, but likewise TO
engage In housework OF every descrip-
ton. The Kaiserin's Sisters" are
cooks as well as nurses; they tend 10
the comfort OF the workman whose
wife Is III with no less facility than
they mend the children's clothes.
The empress collected over two mil
lion dollars for this charity since its
foundation, and annually spends one
million marks in Berlin alone for the
sick and poor.
A year ago her majesty learned from
official statistics that In Germany
twenty-five per cent of all babies under
one year OF age die She Immediately
set to work collecting fund for a
baby's crib, and the institution was
opened the other day at Charlotten-
burg.
Besides engaging in charitable en-
terprises on very large scale, the
Kaiserin will live In history as the
foremost church builder OF her times.
BY her initiative no less than fifty
eight churches have been built in and
about Berlin since she came TO the
throne. For church building she col
lected fifteen million marks, or So

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Rep. Taw-
ney OF Minnesota. chairman OF the ap-
nrnpriatinn committee of the house, re-
opened his fight on the tobacco trust
by reintroducing his bill to impose a
federal tax on the issuance OF all prize
coupons accompanying cigars and
packages OF tobacco in whatever form;
also snuff.
This bill was originally introduced
~ Mr.. Tawney in the flfty-sixth
congress, and passed the house. but
failed In the senate. He reintroduceo
Il In the flfty-seventh congress, and 1t
was shelved in the committee on ways
and means after a favorable sub-com'
mittee report had been made on 1t.
1.-THE object OF the BILL said Mr..
Tawney, sis not TO raise revenue for
the government, but TO put stop 10
tho prize-siving practice by which the
tobacco trust Is enabled to eliminate
competitors from the field. ! am go

sents no less than seven different per-
sons In less than 20 minutes, In the
Temple theater. The change is com

In comedy as well as tragedy. Her
changes are remarkably rapid. She
first appears az a tottering old SER
want, then dashing danseuse, gum
chewing. slangy girl, shrill-voiced
school girl, stolid Swede and finally
Mary, wan. frail girl. Reginald
Parry plays Capt. Bowles, the detec-
tive in the piece.
Another interesting feature OF this
weeks bill is Lillian Shaw, who makes
fun IN way altogether her own.
Julius Tanner is a splendid entertain
er. whose jokes and stories keep hts
audience intent on every word. and
Eddie Leonard and the Gordon broth
ers, blackface funmakers. sing and
dance well. Keno. Walsh and Melrose,
acrobats; Black and Jones, dancing
comedians: the four Lukens. aerial
lists, and moving pictures showing
Irish scenes, complete a fine bill.
