New York, Dec. 19.-Old Daddy
Knickerbocker is preparing to cele-
brate what bids fair to be about the
merriest Christmas in the history OF
Manhattan. All the preliminary symp-
toms and indications of the gladstone
holiday season are very much in evil
dence. Last year the financial panic
cast a gloom over the festivities and
caused Father Knickerbocker to draw
his purse strings much tighter than
is customary. With prosperity here,
or on the way, Manhattanites will
turn themselves loose and indulge to
the fullest extent in that Christian
spirit that cheers and occasionally IN
ebriates.
AS barometers of business, nothing
equals a big department store in the

times are good, the biggest crowds

luxuries are sold. Hard times lead
tle holiday shoppers to invest in arti-
cles OF lesser cost and greater useful.
ness There are indications that
many thousands of New Workers, who
last year received carpet slippers and
suspenders and smoking jackets, will
find articles of jewels and silver and

tiers will not be reaped until the early
days of next week, when the holiday
spirit becomes more rampant. Just

petitions for the Reinstatement Of
Dean W. l. Carlyle and Prof. W. H.

"When the master Of the state
grange writes me that 1880 members
of tho state grange are practically
unanimous In their desire that Dean
Carlyle and Prof OliD should be re-
tanned In the service Of the agricul.
tural college, am quite certain that
he states the exact truth. The state
ments which have been made in your
letters and petitions and protests con-
cerning the value of the services Of
these distinguished men, is probab ly
the most remarkable Demonstration
of appreciation that has ever been
made concerning the services Of COL
lege professors in the history of our

the urgent request which has becn
made by more than 600 petitioners
who represent practically the entire
