dItiou be bears the annual deficit. some

as 100000.
Thus the imperial patronage OF drn-
mafic and operatic arts represents a
tidv sum OF over 10000 pei annum.
Even this. however. does not exhaust
the list OF the Kaiser's theatrical ex-
penses. for every time he commands a
performance. the seats for which are
distributed to his personal guests and
friends. he must buy out the entire seat

total Of 81 go for each such affair.
The sasaries OF the Kaiser's opentic

the bin the Kaiser will have to foot at

mime. 'Sardanapalus." which alone
cost over $4,000 before the curtain
rose on the first performance.

AWARDED $4,000 FOR
LAMENESS, DANCES LATER
Street Railway Company Hearing OF
Virginia Reel, Wants a New
Trial Granted.

ST. LOUIS. June 25.-Mlss Leona
Castanie's participation In a Virginia
reel is assigned by the United Railways
Co. as one of the reasons why YER
dict for $1,000, obtained by her
against tho company, should be set
aside and new trial granted.
Miss Castanie, who lives at No. 2016
Ellendale-ave.. alleged that as a re-
suit of injuries received in September,
1907, by falling off a street car she
was rendered permanently lame.
Her attorney. a. G. Moseley. in his
argument TO the jury at the trial,
pleaded that the jury should take into
consideration the fact that by reason
OF the girls lameness she will be m
able to charm and win admirers like
other girls.
The motion for a new trial came up
before Justice Hitchcock Attorney
T. NJ. Pierce, of the United Railways.
put Mrs. Mildred Wertmueller, a
friend of the plaintiff, 9th the stand.
The witness stated that Miss Castanie
participated in Virginia reel dance
six months ago at the Wertmueller
home.
Did you notice her limping in the
dancc?" the attorney asked.
Il did not because | wasn't watch
ing her" replied the witness.
Mrs. Wertmueller, on cross eXamin-
alton by Mr. Moseley, explained that
Miss Castanie did not want TO take
part in the dance and only did so TO
fill out a pair.
