To- BIG FUND

Last evening W. ]. Mccoy, secretary
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton OF this city. recounted to an at
tentive audience at Trinity Church.
Post and Cough streets, a tale of mod
eff1 miracle of high finance The re-
soufceful secretary by special arrange
nient submitted the report of the man
ner in which In little less than four
months he had solicited and obtained
through voluntary subscriptions a total
OF 100000, or trifie over $125.0oo a
month.
The work of Mccoy is without
parallel and is rendered doubly inter-
eBtihk by the manner in which money
was obtained and because of the
identity OF the donors. During his trip
he called on flfty-four persons for the
purpose of obtaining assistance and in
not single instance was he turned
away without obtaining a contribution
No one but millionaires or kings of
finance were visited by Mr.. Mccoy and
the smallest amount donated was
10000, while the largest sum, that
given by John p. Rockefeller. the oil
kihk, was $4,000 OF the entire
s500,000 donated $4,000 was collected
in New FORK City alone, while the re-
naming $4,000 came principally from
Philadelphia.
In speaking of his trip. Mr. Mccoy
said II could not have had a better
trip, and wherever / went 1 was treated
with the utmost cordiality. President
Roosevelt, the object of my first visit,
expressed his sinccrest sympathy for
San Franciscos citizens. and through
out my travels his sentiments were re-
peated to me. Everywhere the people
seemed to have the greatest confidence
In this city's future and were more
than anxious to assist 1t. The press
Of New York City. as well as of other
cities, treated me with the greatest con-
sideration and were signally instru-
mental In my success.
In relating his experiences Mr.. Nc
Coy told many amusing circumstances
incident to his interviews with some
OF the kings of finance. among them
teered to give twenty five" Mccoy
asked il he meant $25 and in answer
Morgan handed him check for $4,000.
Morris X Jessup OF the New York
Chamber of Commerce returned a check
for $50. 900 and an invitation to dine
when Mr.. Mccoy sent in his card.
Among the other notables who con-
tributed to the building fund were Mrs.
Russell Sage. Mrs. William E. DOEer,
