street-Car Service Inadequate.

The Christmas shopping season closed
last night with one of the best holiday sales
ever known in indianapolis. The period for
purchasing Christmas gifts began much
earlier than usual, and during the last two
weeks the merchants have been extremely
busy A majority of them report an ex-
cellent trade. in many cases far in excess
of that of 1892, the golden year in business
history. In some few lines business has
been but little better than last year.
The street-car service late Yesterday aft
ernoon and in the evening was wholly in
eral of the lines the schedule became badly
demoralized. On the North Pennsylvania
street line four five of the cars were
punched shortly after O'Clock at the north
end of the line, and even this number could
not accommodate all the little knots of peo-
pie standing at the crossings.

An omen w.C. A. All Niuh,

The management of the Young Mems
Christian Association is considering the
advisability of keeping the gymnasium and
baths open from Midnight 10 o'clock a.
m for the benefit of the morning newspaper
men. This plan has been adopted in Chi
eago and other large cities. Connected with
the three morning papers in this city-the
Journal, Sentinel and German Telegraph
are at least one hundred men who are en-
ployed up to o'clock a. IN. The idea ha
not as yet received much consideration
from the Y. NJ. c. A. managers but IL it
seems that enough new members can be
secured from night workers to justify the
additional expense and trouble the plar
may be adopted. The managers OF the as
ISOLATION think possibly there are men I'M
other calings aside from newspa per work
ers who would like such privileges and they
will be glad to hear from any such.
