SANTA CLAUS IN
BUSY WALL STREET
PAID HIS ANNUAL VISIT TO WALL
STREET THIS AFTERNOON AND
OVERLOOKED NONE.
Special to the Herald.

Special TO the Herald.
New York. Dec 29.-Santa Claus
paid his customary visit to Wall street
at the close of business today. No
stockings were overlooked, from man
ayers and confidential men with sal
aries exceeding that of the president
of the United States to youthful
clerks and office boys who hope that
some day their names may appear in
gold letters on pretentious Office win
dows with the words banker and bro
ker underneath. It has been a pros
porous year in the financial district,
and as a consequence liberal largesses
were distributed among the employees.
In some cases the rewards given to-
day amounted to as much as so per
cent of the yearly salaries of the en-
ployes. But the most of the banks
and trust companies distributed bonus
es on the yearly salaries Of employees
on the following basis: Those in the
employ of the institution for ten years
or longer, Is per cent; those employed
less than ten years and more than five
years. 10 per cent; those employed
less than five years and more than
one year, per cent In addition to
these percentages some Of the big
firms, owing to the prosperity of the
past year, granted an extra gratuity
of 5 per cent to everybody, including
new employees.
In this manner hundreds of thou
sands of dollars we're distributed to
the workers in Wall street today, but
in size Of bonuses the year did not
compare with the Christmas season of
1902, when ]. p Morgan C Co. and
Lazard Freres gave to each employee
a check for the entire amount of his
years salary, and other houses we're
almost equally liberal.
Without exception all the big bank
ing interests expect 1907 to be one of
the most prosperous years in the his
tory OF the country.

is at white heat and threats Of lynch
ing are heard on every hand as a re-
suit of an assault committed on Mrs.
T. C. Clifford, wife of prominent

rived.
News Of the attack spread rapidly.
The entire police department, rein
forced by several hundred men and

GLAOSTONES MEMORY
IS NOT CELEBRATED
ENGLAND TAKES NO NOTICE OF
THE BIRTHDAY OF HER "GRAND
OLD MAN"
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
London, Dec. 29.-It is a surprising
fact that, though less than a decade
has elapsed since he passed from the
stage of English public life, the birth
day anniversary of William E. Glad
stone is allowed to come and go al
most unnoticed. But for a few lonely
wreaths deposited about the base of
the Gladstone monument in front of
St Clement Danes church there was
nothing to recall the fact that today
was the anniversary of the birth Of
him who but a few years ago was
honored as England's Grand Old
Man" The observance or lack of OBJ
servance of Gladstone's memory is in
lamentable contrast TO the annual eel
ebrations In honor of some whose SER
vices to their country were neither so
substantial nor so enduring. The only
explanation is to be found in the fact
that Gladstone's personality was not
of that picturesque character to ap-
peal to the imagination of the people.
and which has led to the popular eel
ebration Of Primrose day in memory
of the late Lord Beaconsfield.
