Christmas In
A Scotch City

Glasgow. the commercial metropolis OF
Scotland. with its well nigh million in
habitants. can be chosen as an interest
ing illustration of the manner in which
One-fourth of the people of the country
spend the holidays Many days before
the store fronts on Argyll street-a
thoroughfare as busy as any In the
land-are gayly and profusely deco.
rated with holly and evergreens. Above
nearly every entrance signs Of well
come and the compliments of the sea
son are exhibited in holly leaves On
Christmas eve the stores keep open
late. Either side of the thoroughfare
is a mass of blazing, cheerful light,
and there Is moving mass of human
ity between. But when the stores
close they close until boxing day. All
the working people now get their
Christmas holiday.
On Christmas forenoon the lord pro-
vost or mayor presides at the annual
meeting and breakfast given by the
directors at the royal infirmary. His
lordship makes a speech, after which
there is distribution of good things
to all the patients In the large institu-
tion. Then he visits sundry other in
stitutions for the care of the sick and
poor, where there are Christmas freeing
and feasting. BY the way. Christmas
day Is one of the lord provost's busiest
days. At 2 o'clock. according to an.
nual custom for years past. he pre-
sides at the annual dinner given TO
from 5000 to 6.000 poor men. women
and children In the city hall, Albion
street. His lordship and the city
magistrates occupy the stage and take
dinner with the poor During the re-
past. which consists of soup. beef. an
entree. plum pudding. tea or coffee and
fruit. stirring Scotch airs are played
on the big organ by the city organist.
At the close his lordship makes a
speech, which is reported verbatim in
the newspapers. 1t is usually u mas
terly production.
Outwardly the aspect of the city
resembles that of Sunday. Neverthe.
less thousands Of people are moving
about. The myriad Of riveters In the
miles OF shipbuilding yards along the
Clyde have come to the city with their
wives and families and are attending
the matinees or evening pantomime
performances that have already been
running. These pantomimes are fea.
ture of city life In Scotland during
the winter. Usually three open at
the big theaters In Glasgow Christmas
eve. They are rebearsed for weeks
before. The playwright usually chooses
as his theme fairy tale. Jack the
Giant Killer" "Ali Baba and the For
ty Thieves" and aladdin and the
Wonderful Lamp have been favorite
themes. AS rule. the playwright re-
tains enough Of the tale so that the
young folks can recognize the char
acters. but taken altogether the pro.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

A somewhat better feeling has late
ly developed on the stock exchange.
Last month prices were pushed up
ward at too rapid a pace; liquidation
ensued, and the decline which follow
ed appears TO be bringing in fresh
buying of better character.
Other factors have also contributed
to Improvement. The presidents mes
sage was we'll received. inasmuch as
it advised a cessation of attacks up
on capital and advocated strengthen
ing OF confidence in business. This
moderation of government activities
which undoubtedly did much to make
capital timid and aggravate unfavora-
BILE economic conditions was favorably
accepted in financial circles. Since
the presidents message marked out
no new program of importance it can
now be taken for granted that there
will be little IL any important legisla-
ton in 1911, beyond providing for APP
preparations and regular routine af-
fairs.
An important stimulant in the mar.
ket was the continued case of money.
This must be attributed to slackness
OF trade, a decline in values and liq-
uidation of speculative risks which
unquestionably released large sums of
money. For some time past bankers
in all parts of the country have been
insisting upon conservatism, the re-
suit being contraction and retrench-
ment in nearly every direction. These
efforts were necessary and wise: and
as result the banking situation,
though not entirely satisfactory, is
greatly improved, and there is no
longer any danger of the crisis which
it was seriously feared would mater
ializc about this time. Instead of dis
trust and pending disaster we and
loans contracting and interest rates
comparatively low not only at home
but also abroad, where reactionary
forces are beginning to manifest
themselves. The strength of the bank
of England at this time is particular
ly reassuring as it renders gold en-
ports from this side later on more diff
ficult and will materially facilitate the
raising of much needed capital for the
completion of railroad enterprises.
Our borrowings abroad just now are
already quite liberal.
Owing to the tendencies just al
luded to the stock market approaches

HITS A VICTORIAN
WHILE IN A RAGE
Frank Shute Is Injured by
G. Eadler for Alleged
Home Breaking"

You're liar and a thief" cried
George Eadler, of Easthayen avenue,
to Motorman, Frank Shute. then he
leaped on the moving street car at the
corner of Easthaven and Roscoe ave-
nues. with a drawn revolver. so Shute
says. Eadler grabbed the brass con-
troler handle and struck the motor
man a vicious blow under the right
eye.
You broke up my home. I've done
what I wanted to-" yelled Eadler. after
the attack, as he jumped out of the
car and ran for his home. nearby. The
assault occurred at 3:15 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. A warrant for Fad
ler's arrest is out and he will probab-
ly be aprehended during the day.
Shute was felled by the heavy blow
from the controller handle and lay on
the floor unconscious until passengers
that rushed to the scene carried him
to a nearby grocery where he was
cared for by q physician. The car was
moving slowly and was stopped by
Shute before the assault occurred.
Lay In Pool Of Blood.
Passengers at first believed the
motorman had been murdered. He lay
PROSTATE in a pool of blood and, to use
the expression Of witness, the floor
looked like slaughter house" after
he had been carried out.
This morning Shute was in fair
condition although he had a deep cut
under his eye and could not see with
1t. He claims Eadler had been drink
ing. Eadler 1t is said. alleges that
Shute won the affections of Mrs. Fad
Ter. 1t is said Eadler and his wife
have separated.
Shute says that he has had several
arguments with Eadler and has been
fearing trouble. Eadler. he claims,
drew a thirty-two calibre revolver on
him and threatened his life.
Only on one or two occasions had
Shute, according to his own state
ment, been to see the wife of Eadler
and on those occasions nothing i'm
proper had occurred. He said it was
absolutely false that he had broken
up Eadier's home.
