The Empress Helps German Actresses.

The German Empress has started
many philanthropic organizations in Ber-
lin. and one of the latest and most use
full is known as the Central Association
of German Actresses. The object is to
provide actresses with costumes for the
stage at the smallest possible expense:
The Empress gives all her court and
evening gowns to the institution after
she has used them. and she has induced
many wealthy women in Berlin to fol
low her example. Many women who OBJ
ject to giving away their gowns part
with them at nominal figures. The EN-
press is the president of the association
which provides the majority of the cos
tunes seen on the Berlin stage. Many
theatrical companies in Berlin have one
or more dresses formerly worn by the
Empress.

SPOONER TAKES 1T UP
Will Try to Secure a Rehearing for
Waters-Pierce Company.

Washington, April Sin behalf of the
Waters-Pierce Oil company former Unit
ed States Senator J. c. Spooner has filed
in the supreme court of the United States
petition for a rehearing of the various
cases brought by the state of Texas
against that company, which recently
were decided against it. These include the
cases involving the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the company and the one GUST
ing the company from the state and i'm
posing q fine of $1,549OOO for violations
of the Texas antitrust laws.
Much stress is laid upon the fact that
large portion of the fine was based upon
the law of 1899 imposing penalty of 81 500
day after that law had been repealed.
I'VE therefore submit" says the petit
ton, that it is little short of confiscation
for the state to have neglected to enforce
the act of 1899 for seven years and after
that act had been repealed and the amount
of the penalty reduced to SIS a day to insist
upon a verdict for $3.50 per day for LOSS

Not Working for State.
When asked today about the adj
ventures that befell G. L. ZumWalt,
temperance worker, while on a trip
to Atchison, Assistant Attorney Cen
cray Shukers said that he did not
know Zumwalt and that that individ-
ual did not go to Atchison in connec-
ton with the work of the attorney
generals office, but must have been
sent by the Temperance union.
AS regards Zumwalt's story OF
Atchison still being wide open, Mr..
Shukers was not inclined to believe
that this was the case there. All the
saloons and joints of Atchison were
closed last year and while the attor-
ney generals office does not suppose
that there is not a drop of booze be-
ing sold in Atchison at this time, yet
it is believed that there is a reason
ably tight lid on that town still. Four
or five places there are conducting
soft drink parlors and the effort has
been made a time or two to convict
them of selling liquor, but the cases
were lost from lack of evidence.
AS regards this man Burke, who is
alleged to have Slugged the temper
ance union man SO hard, why Burke
was convicted last year of violating
the prohibitory law and sentenced to
thirty days in Jail and to pay a fine of
500. He appealed the case to the
supreme court and it is expected that
a decision in this case will be handed
down next Saturday.

ported to the attorney generals Of

TRADE STILL QUIET.
The Outlook for EarIv Improvement
Is Excellent.

New York, April 3.-Bradstreet's
says:
Trade and crop reports are irregular
and business the country over is still
quiet as whole. There are, however,
evidences of growth in optimistic
feeling. Current demand at wholesale
is of between seasons character and
jobbing distribution is confined largely
to filling in orders, but there is report
ed in several markets a disposition to
take hold more freely for next fall.
Exports from leading industries are
not materially different from last
week. Wage reductions are more nu-
merous. but strikes are not frequent
In iron and steel there is more bust
ness reported, but evidently at the
expense of prices. Pig iron is dull and
lower. A strike and lockout has been
avoided in the anthracite coal trade
and the usual spring reduction in
prices is announced. Bituminous coal
is still dull and weak.
There is evidence of more business
doing in several lines of cotton goods.
The clothing trade is reported rather
quiet. Women's wear goods still hold
the center of the stage as regards
activity and good reports come from
the millinery business. Collections
still incline to drag.
Business failures for the week end
ing with April L, were in the United
States, 204 against 226 last week, PAT

which compares with 35 last week and
80 in 1908.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United. States and Canada for the
week ending April 1, aggregate 1,413,-
593 bushels against 2,035,715 last
week and 2,911,364 this week last
year.
For the forty weeks ending April l..
this year, the exports are 147,522,S2O
bushels against 69,45S.416 in the cor
responding period last year.
Corn exports for the week are
1.1O2,2 PA bushels against 1,153.734 last
