mas will be moro generally observed this
year than usual and more than ordinary
preparations have been made for its enjoy
ment. Each train brings children from
school, relatives, and friends Tor the annual
reunion and social pleasures
The business of the merchants has ex-
ceeded any previous year, and Christmas
supplies and Injuries have been more
sought for than ever before.
1t is an indication that the country peo-
pie are in more prosperous condition
and that they are not confined to their own
home products for Christmas festivities.
The sale of liquor is now licensed here.

prevailing good order of the town over
turn the theory of the Prohibitionists that
disorder and crime necessarily followed in
the wake of the saloon. Not single case
has been before the Mayor this month.

New YORK. December 24.-The HrdiPs
cable from Valparaiso says: Naval officials
deny N4 stories sent TO the United States
relative 10 an alleged attempt to sink the
war-ship Almirante Cochrane. There is
no truth in the story. The sea-cock of the

gave rise to ridiculous rumors, which were
magnified into the report that an attempt
had been made to scuttle the ship.
A number of persons arrested during the
recent trouble at Santiago have been re-
leased. Only the leaders of the attempted
revolution are being held for trial.
The United States cruiser Yorktown will

sided. Parties are returning from the

there is no gold to amount to anything in

to be done by capitalists, and the question
as to whether it will pay is doubtful one.
1t is from twenty to thirty feet to bedrock.
There has been no gold taken out Of the
