The Closing OF a Great Year.

From business standpoint, not to
speak of many other important and
interesting considerations, the year
coming to q close is one Of the most
important in the history of the nation.
The following is from last weeks re-
port OF the Dun mercantile agency:
December is adding surprising
close to the most surprising year OF
American history. November sur
passed all other months OF the cen.
tnry in volume Of business and pro-
dnction, and, thus far, December is
doing even better in payments
through clearing houses, in railroad
earnings, in foreign trade and in the
activity and strength Of securities
Ii is gratifying to know that the
volume of business which set in soon
after the beginning of the Mckinley
administration has been accumulative.
aud that at the close of the year 1898
the percentage of increase is larger
than ever before. The year has wit.
messed remarkable prosperity in all
lines of trade. 1t has Witnessed ex-
traordinary exports, and for the first
time in American history the exports
Of manufactures have exceeded the
imports of the same class. There
have been big balances in favor Of
the United States at the end OF each
month, and the gold that was paid
out during the long period of de-
preston has been steadily flowing
back into the Golfers of the American
people.
All this, too, in spite of the prose
cution of war and the presentation
OF unusual interests calculated to di-
vert attention from business. The
general activity and continuous prog
ress of the business world during the
year just closing is one of the strong
est possible indications of the com
mercial security of the United States.
The spirit of enterprise has been
strengthened in every part of the
union, notably in the south, which is

THE DECLINE OF
NEGRO MINSTRELSY.

The Once Popular FORM of Entertainment
is Rapidly Losing Its Hold Upon the At

Up to 1880 there was no more popu-
lar form of amusement in the United
States than negro minstrelsy. Then it
lapsed and degenerated until 1885,
when it virtually collapsed.
Boston had its Morris brothers, Pell
and Trowbridge and an occasional
Howard Athenaeum troupe. New York
gloried in it's half dozen temples of
song and dance exclusively devoted to
this art along Broadway (ineluding the
Hope chapel, the Marble hall, corner of
Prince) or contiguous streets, with the
