Men
Haunt Hotel
at Yuletide
They Want to Be Home
at Christmas, Says
Claypool Aid.
BY HELEN LINDSAY
BY HELEN LINDSAY

Where is the loneliest man in the
world on Christmas Eve?
Sitting in a hotel lobby, wishing
he were at his own hreside. and
waiting for a long distance tele-
phone call, by which he will ex-
change seasons greetings with his
family" says Harry D. Greene. as
Sistant manager at the Claypool.
And Mr.. Greene should know, for
he has watched the hotel become
almost deserted Christmas after
Christmas. Hotel records show, he
says, that there are only one-tenth
as many people in the hotel on
Christmas as on the other 364 days
Of the year.
It's a Home Day
christmas is a home day." Mr..
Greene explains. mo matter how at
tractive a hotel is, a family man
wants to be at his own home then.
All men are just like country ply
sician l knew, who took over a prac-
tice in the northern part of IN
diana, and moved there from his
home in the southern part of the
state.
He liked it very much, till
Christmas Eve came. Then. he told
me- he sat before the fireplace and
gazed in the fire. thinking of his old
home from which he never had been
absent before on Christmas.
An unseen power seemed to
move me- that man told me. I
went in and packed my bags, and
went over to the man from whom
1 had taken the practice. l told
to take it over, it was all right with
me. l had to be home at Christ
mas And that's the way most men
feel about the holidays"
They're Lost Souls
When it is impossible for travel
ing men to return to their homes,
they wander about the hotel like
lost souls" Mr.. Greene says.
They stop down here at the desk,
and talk about their families, l
have seen a lonely man go out and
gather up several street urchins,
and buy them Christmas toys, in
an attempt to forget his homesick-
ness" he said. They see other peo-
pie preparing for festivities and
watch the crowds hurrying home to
Christmas trees and family gath
erings."
For the few residents guests, no.
tel managers arrange small table
Christmas trees. But for the guests
who ordinarily spend Christmas at
home. hotel men have learned that
there are no substitutes which will
fill the place of the celebrations of
their own families.
81 Registered Last Christmas
Last Christmas, 81 lonely guests
spent Christmas in the Claypool.
In 1888, there were Sc; in 1882, "a,
and in 1881, so. An average days
guest list numbers approximately
500.
Though it means poor business,
both Mr.. Greene and George G.
Cunningham, manager. are too full
of sympathy for these home-sick
holiday guests to worry about that
end of it.
For both of them know what it
means to be away from their own
families on such a holiday Mr.,
Greene spends Christmas Eve at
home. where he enjoys the festivi-
ties planned for his three children.
But Mr.. Cunningham has had only
one Christmas at home in 80 years,
So if Mr. Travelling Salesman
looks for a sympathetic ear in which
to pour his Christmas loneliness,
he'll probably find it at the Clay
pool.

YEAR IS SUCCESSFUL
FOR L|EBER BREWERY
Newcomer to City Makes
Additions to Plant.

One of the important newcomers
to the ranks of Indianapolis indus
tries during 1885 was the Lieber
Brewing Corp. which is closing a
highly successful first year of oper-
alton by rushing to completion eX-
tenSive additions to its plant and
equipment.
These additions, which Lieber Of
ficials expect to have ready for use
early in 1886, will result in the
Lieber concern starting off the new
year with a brewing capacity more
than double its maximum output
during the year just closed.
Starting early in 1884, the Lieber
Brewing Corp. spent more than
year in remodeling and installing
new equipment throughout pre-
prohibition brewery at 1854 S. West
st to make it one of the most
modern and efficient brewing lay
outs in the entire country. The
company's product, Lieber Lager
beer, was not placed on the market,
however, until early in May, 1885.
At the present time, the Lieber
Brewing Corp employs approx
mately 100 persons and its market
territory includes, in addition to
Indiana, sizeable portions of a num-
Der of nearby states, When the
present expansion program is COM
pleted early in the coming year,
Lieber executives predict that 25
per cent increase in number of en-
ployes will be required, with an i'm

10 additional states. Col. Richard

CUBAN TRADE GAINS
ON SUGAR QUOTAS
1886 Prosperity Depends on
Political Stability.
BIZ United Press

BU tNltGO PfCSS
HAVANA, Dec. 81, - Prosperity
and improved business conditions
were restored in a certain measure
to Cuba during 1885. The bet
terment was due almost entirely to
the Cuban American reciproca
trade agreement, and the quota as
signed to Cuban sugar by the United
States under the Jones' ostigan
Act.
Official Cuban government trade
figures are not compiled very
rapidly, thus only the figures for
the first six months of the calendar
year of 1885 are available. For that
period Cuba exported products
valued at $66114,793 and her i'm
ports were valued at $48413,950. In
the similar period Of 1884 exports
were $40, 394,021 and imports, $34,-
047186
From Jan. 1 to Sept 80, Cuba eX-
ported 2,164,O63 long tons of raw
sugar. of which 1,464,O63 long tons
went to the United States For the
similar period Of 1884 the total ex-
ports of raw sugar were 1,659,363
long tons, of which 949, 1850 long tons
went to the United States.
A prosperous business year for
1886 hinges almost wholly on two
factors. The first is whether the
United States government will
grant Cuba sugar quota approx
imately equal to that of 1885. The
second is whether political stability
will be maintained in the island.

When the building share rally
died out stock traders turned to
armament issues on the theory
heavy defense expenditures by the
government would be inevitable.
Later British investors sent vast
amounts of funds to the New York
market and increased purchases of
American stocks on tie London eX-
change.
Retail trade continued to expand
throughout the year. Motor car
registrations Spurted, but CONNER
cial vehicle registrations barely held
their own. Christmas trade made
wide gains.
Foreign trade continued slowly to
expand, thanks partly 10 the Ottawa
treaties and to special trade treaties
made with foreign countries. Brit
ish manufacturers are repeatedly
getting ready to argue for higher
tariffs, and more will be heard about
treaties and trade early in 1896.
Bank deposits fell off, but were
considered better than year ago
because they we're not frozen. They
now represent sound. active loans
rejecting genuine business improve
ment.
Early in the year collapse of giant
commodity pools-pepper, shellac,
and peanuts - caused political
scandal and for time arrested re-

DUTCH AVOID

Trade Falls Off and Aid for

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 81. - The
Kingdom of the Netherlands, along
with other nations of the small gold
bloc in 1885 found difficulty in

The guilder several times during
the year was hard pressed and there
were threats of devalutiOn which re-
suited in increase Of the bank rate.
But devaluation was avoided.
Imports from January to October
totaled 100000 guilders, a decrease
of 100000 from the corresponding
1884 period.
Shipping suffered and the govern
ment likely will have to aid with
subsidies The government now
plans to industrialize the nation,
undermining old plants through gov
eminent loans.
Unemployment held around $780,
600, a high figure for the 100000
residents of the nation. japanese
competition in the Netherlands East
Indies necessitated setting up of
