nost Retail Merchants Are More Than
satisfied With 1t.
The rush Of holiday trade was over
Saturday night at midnight, and inter-
views with a number OF leading retail
ers, representing various lines OF trade,
Ricits the information that business has
been very good, in many cases larger
than ever before, and that while there
has been much selling at close figures
the result upon the whole is is crafty
Ing.
A leading bookseller said:
"Our sales have been more than graf
flying. 1 think we sold more books
during the three weeks preceding
Christmas than ever before, and other
goods In our line have been equally in
demand. 1 am very well pleased with
the record we have made"
A jeWeler said
1--WE have surpassed the figures Of
last season, and are about abreast Of
The year before, which was an excep-
tionSl one. The demand for diamonds,
Eol.ches, jewelry, silverware, and all
lines we carry, set in early, and
eAeinued right up until the clock
BtNck twelve, last night"
A confectiOner said
Trade has been very satisfactory.
Our orders for Christmas eve delivery
Sere never so numerous or so large,
while the shopping trade taxed the ca
pacity Of our establishment to the ut
most"
A dealer in fruits remarked TO re-
porter:
I never saw such a rush, and / have
been in business here 10 this line for
good many years. We began receiving
orders as long ago as three weeks, for
Saturday night delivery, and they have
billed in upon US the last two or three
LAYS, until we had TO press into service
all available help, hire extra delivery
boys and even engage express wagons.
We were delivering orders until as late

Artist srErsoN DEFENDS BIS WIFE.
He Dsprecates Ridicule Of the Woman
from Whom He seeks Divorce.

Providence, R. l., December 24.-Chas.
Walter Stetson, the artist who seeks d.
yorce from his wife. has written letter to
the Nelrs, complaining that some OF the
pauers have treated his wife, Mrs. Char
iotte Perkins Stetson, unfairly. He says;
because desire divorce is no reason
that / should expose to ridicule woman
for whom have profound respect and who
ever since have known her has done what
She believed right. The necessity OF d.
vorce is bad enough in itself My testi-
mony is in writing, all but perhaps ten
words of it, and so far as l know open to
the public that cares TO invade the sanctity
of private affairs.
"Whoever wishes to seek cannot find one
word that in any way blames Mrs. Stetson
for doing what she believes her duty. We
have different callings and different ideas.
and the difference makes divorce neces-
sary.
II am exceedingly sorry that 1t should
be thought to reflect upon the reforms Mrs:
Stetson so earnestly seeks TO further, and
am panied that the press seems so eager TO
SPEAK i'll of woman of so much genius
and sincerity of purpose"
