a mill race. When half a mile from the

from rowing to guide the boat properly

TOO MUCR COAL ON HAND.
production Of Anthracite This Year IL
10000, 600 Tons More Than Usual.

PoTTsyILI.E, Pa, Aug. 90-The produc-
tion OF 4O,OO0,000 tons OF anthracite coal
since Jan. /. fully 10000, 600 tons more than
the average output in years, is the cause
Of the stagnation of the coal trade, which
has resulted in issuing orders all through
the region curtailing the output. The
Philadelphia and Reading Company has
issued swapping orders closing every
one or its washeries which produce
small sizes, and other corporations and
individual operators have followed.
II il estimated that there are fully 1000
600 tons of small sizes now in stock for
which there is little demand. The policy
OF the coal corporations Is not ono of a
general suspension of the collieries unless
the coal trade becomes duller.
READING, Pa, Aug 30.-President George
II. Baer of the Reading Railroad, who re-
turned home from Europe last night, was
informed as to reports from the upper
anthracite region that some coleries were
closing. He said
This is the first summer in years that
the Reading company's and other colleries
were not closed. We worked steadily dur
ing the entire warm season. For this
there were several reasons Dealers have
been encouraged to stock up because Of
the experiences during last years strike
and because of the advantage in prices to
consumers during the warm season"
Mr., Baer said that the plan he had started
when he became president of the Reading,
of making a reduction Of so cents ton in
April and then advancing the price 10 cents
month until the figures again reached
the normal price by Sept. /. had worked
satisfactorily. The public purchased early

Whether there would he any necessity TO

TRACTION DEAL IN MILLIONS.


William c. Whitney disposed yesterday
Of the Wall Street report that the sale Of
the kuhn-Loeb holdings In the Metro
politan Securities Company to the Ryan
syndicate was engineered largely by the
Standard Oil capitalists, who had now
come into possession of most Of the Kuhn
Loeb shares. Upon this had been hung
prediction that the purchase was the
forerunner Of gigantic combination Of
the railroad and lighting systems Of the
city.
Asked about tie possible connection Of
Standard Oil inter .sts with the deal. Mr..
Whitney said:
THE impression that the Standard Oil
people are concerned in the Metropolitan
Securities Company is erroneous l can
go no further than this, because l have
said that | will not be interviewed on the
matter
Many people were anxious TO know yes-
terday just how much of the Metropolitan
Securities stock the firm Of Kuhn, Loeb Il
Co. owned In the Wormser suit before
Justice Scott last June Messrs. Whitney and
Ryan testified that the $50, 900 900 Of Metro
poltan Securities stock was divided on an
80 and 20 per cent. basis, Mr.. Whitney in
sisting that the holders of Metropolitan
Street Railway stock be allowed to sub
scribe to 80 PEI. cent; of the stock Of thenew
company. This coloquy occurred between
Mr.. Whitney and Just ice Scott:
Justices Scott-Is it your understanding
that Kuhn. Loeb n Co. We're to get 20 per cent.
of the stock Of the Metropolitan Securities
Company us bonus for the underwriting?
Mr., Whitney-Oh. no: they were to have the
privilege Of subscribing TO 20 per cent. Of
the total issue Of the stock of that company.
This statement, which Mr.. Ryan oorrob-
grated, indicates that the holdings OF Kuhn
Loeb Il Co. may have amounted to %, 900 900

A SERMON ABOUT FASHION.
The Rev. Mr.. Esbbitt on the Realm OF the
Secular and Kingdom or the Trivial.

The Rev Dean Richmond Rabbit, rector
of the Church Of the Epiphany, Brooklyn,
chose Sins and Follies Of Fashion as
the subject OF his sermon last night. He
said that fashion was based on a kind Of
instinct which became fixed and abiding
law. and that certain kind Of civilization
was the warrant for fashion. 1t Is only
transtory he said and il the realm of the
secular and the kingdom OF the trivial
Fashion, he declared, exists among a
civilized class, which sometimes made it
difficult TO distinguish between the servant
and the mistress. There are three ad-
vantages attending fashion, he saidthe
varying OF monotony, the stimulation OF
manufacturing and trade and the creation
of fixed standards, In the opinion of the
speaker the evils of fashion are a pre-
occupied mind, mercenary element and
q cruelty which is visited alike on the rich
and on the door.
Many Of the humber set, he said, are
folks Of fashion, who are engaged in "a
crusade, the object OF which is to get in
the daily papers.
The amount OF money spent on balls,
yachts and automobiles il published, he
said, to dazzle the people, az the patricans
Of Rome awed a pleban populace
Continuing, he said
In all ages OF the world, however, woman
as mere social butterfly has had more
excuse than man. Many wealthy men in
this city and country are utterly unworthy
of the endowment of wealth they carry
and in their ultra devotion to fashionable
fritterng, shame American manhood and
