GOTHAM LETTER

New York, Dec. IS. - The prepare.
tiOns FOR the enjoyment Of the Christ
mas holiday are all completed, and the
holiday win be observed in palace and
hut, in town and country, with a
heaTtiness Of feeling that shows the
real sentiment Of the holiday enters
into the souls OF the PleasuTe-seeking
and PleaswelOving thTOng. There
seems 10 be an added pleasure whom
Christmaa, as il does this year, follows
a Sunday. People seem 70 get business
out Of their minds, and they do not
have TO brush on the dirt that settles
down upon the holiday from busy and
noisy Saturday. The smell Of ever
green's has been in the air for all the
week past. At one time West street,
with all it's wide sxpanse Of space in
front Of the great warehouses, was
packed full Of piles Of evergreens, but
each day as evening came showed great
gaps purchasers had made in carrying
away their selections, until on satur-
day the huge piles had dWindled to a
few remnants o. the great store that
had almost denuded the Maine forests.
1t is a very poor family that has not
its Christmas tree, while churches, Sun
day schools, public schools, clubs and.
indeed, almost every organization, sac
red or prOfane, has its Christmas tTse,
gaily deeked with presents and lights
ana Of pretty or grOtesque trimming
The Christm1s tree has indeed become
the soy Of the whole people.

The current Of good feeling between
man and man has been very warm
very broad, very deep, very strong 50
that whoever comes within its inhuenee
has felt that somebody somewhere has
been thinking OF him. The warmth Of
this tender and gracious feeling has
been such that one could almost feel
that one could warm his frosted fingers
at its namej certainly he could warm
the cookies Of his heart.
Insensibly, perhaps, also the minds
Of people have been turned to highH
thoughts and more noble living What

mind over the disordered condition OF

some who were Of our best. Nervous
ProstratiOn has lain low many Of the

CFrom a Stan Correspondent

LINCOLN, Neb., May T.-(Specal Tele-
gram)-The next encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic will be held in Free
mont. This was decided at the business
meeting Of the veterans this afternoon, al
most unanimously. A big fight on the part
of Lincoln had been anticipated but failed
to materialize, as nearly all of the veterans
resent what they think scant attention
paid to them by the citizens and business
men of Lincoln and the opposition to the
capital was almost unanimous. Because
of this when the motion was made to
hold the next encampment in Fremont ii
went through with whoop. Lincoln was
not even mentioned, though at one time
this town hoped to be the permanent meet
ing place of the old soldiers,
The following officers were elected: J.
r. MaNon of Minden, department COM
mander; John F. Dienen of Syracuse senior
vice commander; Jonathan Edwards Of
Omaha, junior vice commander l.. S. Sales
OF Geneva, chaplain; w. H. Johnson of
Lincoln. medical director.
The only night was on the election Of a
department commander and it required four
ballots to settle this controversy. The
others voted for we're General Gage Of
Lincoln and Eli Barnes of Grand Island.
Gage was second in the running.
Tomorrow another business session will be
held and the remainder of the officers
selected.
Tonight a camp FIRE was held at the Audi
torium and a packed house was in attend
