HOLIDAY TRADE GOOD.
About One-Third Better than 1t Was
Last Year.

The business houses are all very we'll
satisfied with their holiday trade During
the week the extra stocks have been con-
siderably diminished, and money has not
been spent SO freely for many months past.
The various storekeepers say they have
had a much larger trade this Christmas
week than last year, and estimate that the
increase has been about one-third. When
asked by what reason they accounted for
the increase of business they answered that
the times are opening up and money is
steadily becoming more plentiful and peo-
pie have confidence that more will be forth
with coming. and are not so chary about
their expenses. Last Christmas the jewelry
trade was very poor; this year 1t has been
exceptionally fine, and a number of exceed
ingly costly presents have been purchased
This is the trade that falls off first, and is
the last TO pick up, for jewelry is not an
essential to physical comfort, and can
easily be dispensed with when the times
are hard.
The decorations along the sidewalk of
Washington street were taken down yes
terday. and some of the store windows
were robbed of their green trimmings. 1t
is also noticeable that the streets were not
so crowded yesterday, despite the day be-
ing Saturday. which is the dress-parade
day of the week.

POWER MAY GET
MIR. OLMSTEAD RECOMMENDS THE
LOCAL PARK ENGINEER.
Vacancy i'm Brooklyn Park Ofice-Iu-
quiries as to Fall Creek Boulevard
Skating ut Garfield.

j. c. Power may resign his Office of
park engineer. A few days ago he received
q request from ]. C. Olmstead, of Brook
line. Mass, to allow his name to be rec
commended for assistant superintendent OF
parks at Brooklyn, n. Y. The salary is
$1,000 year Mr.. Power consented. In
a short time the place is to be filled and
the Brooklyn park commissioners have
asked Mr. Olmstead to mention two or
three men competent to fill it. From the
names submitted to Mr.. Olmstead a Sc
lection will be made. 1t will be remem-
bered that Olmstead & Olmstead are the
park engineers who designed Central Park.
New York the Vanderbilt Park in the
South. the Chicago parks and others. j. c.
Olmstead has offered suggestions as to In
dianapolis parks.
w. r. Holloway, secretary of the park
board. says it is likely a conference will be
held between the commissioners and the
Council within short time. The commits
sioners feel there will be less opposition
from the city fathers after they once get
thoroughly acquainted with the facts. The
councilmen will be requested to meet at
the office of the board so that maps, plans
and all data will be at hand in case in
formation is desired.
Colonel Holloway recalls that some thirty
years ago the Fletcher heirs proposed to
give the city big tract of land for park
purposes in Brookside, with the provision
that $1,000 or $4,000 should be spent by the
city for its Improvement. The offer was
refused.
What do we want with parks?" asked
one city official. We've got broad streets
and don't need parks. People that want
parks can go TO the woods"
At that time there were plenty of forest
lands near by.
1t is now proposed to buy that same land
for Il park.
A good many inquiries are being made at
the office OF the board as to whether the
Fall creek boulevard is 10 be built Per-
sons who contemplate buying land in that
section are anxious to know what is to be
done.
There is good skating at Garfield Park
The artificial lake furnishes about four
acres of water surface, sufficient TO satisfy

now in place. SO that skating at night will
