become almost as famous as his prede-
cessor of Rheims, was found dead the
other morning in the. bar of the Angcli
Arms, Loughborough road, Brixton,
which was his home. The bird had a
most extraordinary habit of travelling all
over London on omnibuses, trains, and
cabs, generally seating himself BY fhe

journey most volubly 1t always used
to fly back home to Brixton, where, at

Father Sehacken has taken the same
view on lawn parties. dances and church
fairs as that expressed by Father Shep-
pard of st. Michaels Church.
Father Schacken said that he would
never allow any OF that sort Of thing to
go on If it were possible to secure funds
to run the church in any other way. he
calls them necessary evils and ada<d
that it was not possible to dispense with
that manner Of raising funds 1t this
time.
They are nuisance" said he, sand !

Father Schaeken's remarks caused =
great deal of surprise among his parish
toner's. Many stated that while there
We're some members who agreed with
the pastor the majority OF the young
people were strongly in favor of tho oon-
tinuanee of the practice.
There is little abandonment Of the
old form for many years, as the czzurch
is in no financial condition to give up this
source of revenue at present. The debe
of the church is S71. 600, and it win rs-
quire many years of saving to hquidats

SUFFERING
FOR COAL
Present Severe Cold Makes
the Fuel Famine Par
tieularly Oppressive
to the Poor
DEALERS ARE ALL OUT
Bayonne Has Plenty Of the.
Smaller Sizes But Her
People Suffer for
Range"
DEALERS ARE ALL OUT

As result of the scarcity of coal
there is more or less suffering among the
poor of this city. Very little coal has
been shipped to various dealers in this
city for the last week or so, and, in con-
| sequence, during this recent severe cold
snap the poor have suffered the most.
While a small supply is being shipped to
the dealers from the mine the supply is
Entrely inadequate to meet the de-
mahd.
While manv of the local dealers are
luakmg strenuous efforts to fill their or
ders, at least in part. the result is most
discouraging and many people are un-
able to get fuel.
This morning many dealers throughout
the city stated that they had no coal
whatever IN their yards, while others
only had small quantities entirely insult
ficient TO supply even their regular Gus
toners.
While coal is expected to arrive in this
ciry some time this week there have
been no shipments to speak of since Sat
| urday. Only during the cold spell Of the
realize the true situation of this vital
| question. Never before this winter has
I tsln elamer for coal been so great and
the dealer cannot consider the many or
! ders received.
J. Gluck said this morning.
Il haven't any coal in the yards this
morning, but l expect a shipment either
tomorrow or the. next day
Al Headaen-& Sons coal yard it was
stated that only a small supply was ON
hand. ard the iir'm was only delivering
coal 70 their regular customers in small
amounts.
HAS SOME COAL.
Nelson yapderhen. when asked about
Isthe situation, said
II have some with which l supply
my customers. SOf course I cannot get
sll / want, as will no doubt be the case
all winter. / buy direct from the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company, and I know they
are doing their best. The whole thing in
nutshell is that thes various operating
companies are trying TO do twelve
months work in six.
'0f course, | can't let each customer
have all the coal he wants, but l find
can supply thenlsall as they need it with
half ton of coal at time. My
price is the same, $3.50 per ton. l don't
see why people cannot get a ton of coal
within a day or two after they order
it. The railroads and large operating
companies are doing their best to make
shipments.
BAYONNE WANTS s.R ANGEn COAL.
Scarcity of range coal exists in Bay
onne. There is an abundance of egg and
pea coal available from the principal
lsretailers. One of the large dealers has
been without ton of range coal for a
| week. In various sections of Bayonne
residents report they are Unable TO OBJ
tain chestnut or stove coal many house
holders being compelled to burn pea coal
in kitchen ranges or do without fire for
cooking.
