FAIR MIDwINTER WEATHER.
Why the Christmas Holidays Have
Been Warmer Than Usual.

The Christmas. holidays so far have
been unusually warm and the high tenn
perature has continued over a period of
several days. The condition of the at
mosphere, and the long duration of such
warm weather this time of the year, has
| been something remarkable.
Observer Smyth. of the weather but
reau. gives the following explanation of
the conditions which have brought about
such fair weather, and why it was So
Monday night, Dec. IS, an area of high
pressure, cold wave, made its appearance
in the extreme northwest. During the
night Of Dec. IS the high area moved
southeastward, and on the morning of the
10Th it was central in Western Nebraska,
causing fair weather and westerly winds
in nearly all sections east of the 103d me-
ridian. Wednesday morning, Dec. 20, the
crest of the high had advanced to
the Ohio valley, while the high area in
creased greatly in magnitude, causing con-
| tinued fair and colder weather in nearly
| all sections east of the 97th
meridian. The isotherm of 30 extended
from Norfolk, Va, southwestward to
Middle Georgia, thence west-northwest-
| ward to Dodge City, Kan. north of this
line severe freezing weather obtained.
! Thursday morning the chart showed that
| the upper end of the high had been
considerably dissipated by an area of
low pressure moving eastward north of
the lake region, while the southern end
had advanced eastward and was central
in the vicinity of Augusta, with barom-
eter pressure, at Augusta, of 0.62 inches.
This high area continued central over
this section until the morning
of the 25th, causing ex-
ceptionally fine weather to prevail
throughout the South Atlantic states. 1t
has been gradually decreasing in inten-
sity since the morning of the 2lst, with
slowly rising temperature.
A second high area, central Christ
mas night in the extreme northwest has
moved southeastward, uniting with the
first high, which will, in all probabilities,
give this section continued fair but
colder we ather for the next day or two.
Wednesday morning, Dec. 20, an area of
low pressure appeared in the extreme
northwest, causing a slight rise in tenn
perature in the Dakotas, Middle Ne
braska and Southwestern Kansas. This
depression moved eastward, north of the
lake region, during Wednesday and
Thursday, Dec. 20 and 81. In its eastward
progress it served as an attraction for
southerly winds, causing the tempera-
ture to rise in all sections north
of the 35th parallel the rise being most
decided in the Upper Mississippi Valley,
Lower Missouri Valley and throughout
the lake regions.
Friday morning a second low area
moved in from the extreme northwest.
and followed pretty much in the wake of
its predecessor, causing still greater
rise in temperature.

HOLIDAY TRADE WAS GOOD.
Merchants Figuring Up Their Last
Weeks Receipts.

The holiday trade, which practically
closed with Christmas, the retail mer-
chants say, compared very favorably
with that of last year in spite of the hard
times In some instances the actual
amount of cash taken in shows a hand
some increase.
The retail grocers sold very heavily of
currants and citron, which, being 80 per
cent. cheaper than formerly placed them
within the reach of great many The
sale of crackers and nuts was also large.
Among the shoe stores the amount of
cash sales was gratifying, although the
major portion of goods sold was of the
cheaper grade.
In the gentlemens furnishing goods line
the merchants are pleased with the bust
ness done, having sold more than in
former years. Their principal sales were
silk handkerchiefs, neckties walking
canes and umbrellas, and other articles
suitable for presents.
The jewellers sold a large number of
small articles chiefly in the silver line,
and their sales ran up to very fiattering
figure in excess of last years holiday
receipts.
In the toy line prices were cheaper, and
the trade was decidedly good, although
the competition is so great that those who
make speciality of the business have
made less money than heretofore when
one could not buy toys in dry goods stores,
and, strange to say, in drug stores, where
they are now placed to attract other
trade.
The holiday trade with the retail dry
goods stores fully came up to the expecta-
tons of the merchants. The clothing
stores and crockery stores all did a good
business, the latter having goods for sale
that were especially attractive, and not
as expensive as last year.
The trade in all lines will fall off until
after the new year, when a reaction al
ways sets in, and the merchants are con-
fident that prosperous season is before
them. Confidence is rapidly being re-
stored, and the business outlook is bright
and promising

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
The Gesang Verein Frohsinr's Con-
cert and Ball


The Gesang Verein Frohsinn, German
social organization, gave its first annual
concert and ball at Chatham Artillery
hall last night. Some excellent music
was arranged for the occasion, and every.
thing passed off pleasantly.
The musical programme consisted
of ten numbers, and was finely
gotten up. The first piece, an
overture by Van Ritter was rendered by
Prof. Lewis orchestra. The association
sang several selections in a manner de-
serving of praise. The violin solo of Mas.
ter Raskin was rare treat. The young
man is pupil of Prof. Hubner and gives
promise of developing into fine per
former under his instructive care.
Miss Mamie Nolan's singing called
forth an encore and the audience seemed
reluctant to let her retire.
The playing of the Either club especially of
the trio, composed Of Mrs. Dahlheimer
and Messrs. Winter and Wolf, was much
admired, and the players received much
applause.
AT the conclusion of the programme
dancing was inaugurated. Supper was
served at IL o'clock.
