HEAVY HOLIDAY TRADE
CHRISTMAS BUSINESS FAR IN EXCESS
OF THAT OF 1896.
Increase Ranges from 20 to 100 Per
Cent.-Run on Book and jew
eIry stores.

Almost to a man the managers of the
various downtown stores report that the
Christmas trade is far In excess of that
of a year ago. Some say that it is double,
others that it is from % to 80 per cent.
heavier. A manager of one of the big de-
partment stores said that the number of
sales was not only greater, but that the
price of the goods bought was higher and
that the people are not so anxious to buy
cheap and inexpensive goods. Everybody
seems to have more money
1T could not be otherwise" said the pro-
prietor of a big clothing house. ga year
ago men were wondering where they were
to get money to buy food for their families,
to say nothing about Christmas gifts. Now
the men are at work and have money to
spend.
The manager of a book store said the
sales were 80 per cent. heavier than last
year. There was a big run on Riley's
new book and we have no copies left. except
in the expensive edition." The Century
Company is authority for the statement
that this was one of the three best selling
books of the year.
At jewelry store customers were wait
ing to be served in rows three deep. Shop
pers seemed more particular about the APP
the price, evidently wanting only the best.
In a dry goods store the Junior member
of the firm said business was % per cent.
better than this time last year. With
others, he regarded the business as satisfac-
tory and said that there was little to be
desired.
No one was prepared to give figures, as
almost all shopmen were rushing about OBJ
serving how the Details of the work were
moving, keeping an eye open to see that
customers were getting what they wanted.
To an onlooker it was quite evident the
people were not Just looking around" but
were making large purchases. At nearly
every counter clerks were writing down
names and addresses on delivery tags and
scarcely woman left store without car
rying away something with her. Last week
it was noticed that a large number of shop
pers were coming away from stores empty
handed, but yesterday they pushed through
the throngs about the doorways frantically
clutching at packages to see that none were
lost. All the stores are keeping open even
ings until Christmas. One thing noticeable
is the attractive displays that have been
made in show windows. Day and night they
are surrounded with pleased groups of pa
rents and children the little tots making
eager inquiries about Santa Claus

AN OFFICIAL FORESTER
NEW OFFICE MAYOR TAGGART con-
TEMPLATsS CREATING.
His Duties to Prevent Planting of TN

Mayor Taggart believes that Indianapolis

directed that information be obtained from
other cities on this subject Letters have
been written to the mayors of Cleveland,
New Haven, Philadelphia, Los Angeles,
Sacramento, Boston, Milwaukee, Dayton
and other cities for facts about official for
esters, their powers and duties, etc.
t. j. Montgomery, of the Board of Works,
says THAI most all of the large cities have
such official. At Washington, d. c.,
there is a board of three forestry commits
sioners, who have arbitrary powers with
regard to the location of trees on public
thoroughfares and who designate what
sorts Of trees shall be planted He says that
there is need of some S,ich supervision here
in order to prevent the planting of I'M
slightly and undesirable trees. He men
toned two or three streets that are marred
by silver leaf poplars. These trees have
roots that grow near the surface, tearing
up sidewalks and roadways. There are
cases where their roots have broken
through cellar walls, in this way causing
IL good deal of damage. Beside this, the
foliage is always late putting out in the
spring and the leaves begin falling in a few
weeks. thus keeping sidewalks and lawns
uttered for the most of the year. If there
We're a forester it would be his duty to
to plant, the best seasons for putting them
out and information of a like character.

1t was suggested by members that the

Board of Public Works, held in Mayor Tag
CARTS hotel, yesterday, appointments were
made of persons who will be needed after

vided, one set being on duty at night and
the other in the daytime.
AS announced some months ago, the pres

assume Mrs. Buchanan's place next Mon
day. Miss Reisner will begin her duties
when the new station house is completed.

STREETS USED FOR STABLES.
An Ordinance to Prohibit Lorg stand
ing of Horses.

ing of Horses.
Complaints have been made to the Board
of Works that many men who keep horses
and buggies leave them standing the
streets for hours at u time, rather than pay
stable hire. In many cases they are fed on
the streets. The result is that they chop
up the pavements with their feet and litter
the walks and streets with refuse from the
feed boxes An ordinance has been pre-
pared for introduction in the Council to-
morrow night to prevent this practice The
ordinance provides that it shall be unlaw-
full for any person to stop or station any
horse and vehicle, or teams, horses mules
or cattle on any permanently improved
street of said city for a period longer than
half an hour at any one time, or for such
times as is reasonably necessary to dis
charge or receive a load for such vehicle"
To prevent evasionS of the ordinance, an
other section prohibits any person from
keeping a horse stationed on any street
more than two hours a day for more than
three days a week. This would prevent
man from driving his horse around a cor
ner or across the street when it had stood
a half hour. Section makes it unlawful
for any person to feed horses, mules or 9TH
err animals on any permanently improved
streets or alleys. The penalty for violating
the ordinance is a fine of 81 for the first
offense and not less than S. nor more than
500 for subsequent violations.
