Andrew Carnegie has sold out his
great interests in the iron trade
not because he wants to retire from

CHRISTMAS IN CHICAGO.
The Day More GeneraIiy Observed
Than for Many Years.

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 25.-Chicago never
had more beautiful Christmas Day. In
the early morning the air was keen and
cold, the lowest temperature being about
y above zero, but the bright sunshine
and cloudless sky raised the temperature
several degrees as the day progressed.
Snow furries yesterday gave the hope
that a white mantle would cover the ground
today and thus take of the blight suppos-
ed TO follow q green Christmas" No
snow came, however, and automobiles took
the places OF sleighs.
Christmas was more generally observed
than for many years before in Chicago.
The retail trade for the holidays broke all
records. More than $4 COS. 600 was spent
In the State Street stores during the past
week. according 10 estimates Of cOnseFva-
tive business men. Many departments in
the big retail establishments were literally
stripped and had nothing more TO sell this
morning.
