this church. It's proper designation is
the Church of the TRANSPORTATION. 1t

persons in 1S4S, and had its first home
on Twenty fourth street, just west of

last ten years the original pastor, Dr.
Houghton, was succeeded as vicar by

the church attained the nickname by

The Big Coal Bill Of
The Great Metropolis.
The Flying Microbe Gets Al.
ter New York People.
Fingers Going Out Of Fashion,.
A Famous, Church.

New York, Oct. 21.-New York feels
more than merely curious interest
In the oft-repeated prediction that the
coal mines of the country will be ex-,
hauSted in another hundred years for
the reason that this city is the great
est coal consumer in the world. Ac-
c"rdlng to statistics recently collected
the metropolis uses over % 000. 900 tons
annually and requires the services of
$4,000 men to keep itself warmed and
lighted. More than S15O,0OO,OO0 is in
vested in the business of supplying
the citys residents with coal, and no
less than 1000 coal barges and $50 tugs
are Kept busy in transporting it about
New York harbor. These coal barges
average in capacity from $50 to 1,50O
tons apiece, and in them there is al
ways anoat about the city more than
a million and a half tons of coal. Ev-
cry day there is loaded into barges in
the ilarbor CT New York more coal
than is used in whole year through
out the Empire of China. Last year
the coal wharveS in the city handled
%. 100000 tons of coal, and this year
the total promises to run well above
1000, 900 tons. Averaging factories and
small consumers at price of four dol
lars Tor each ton, New York Will spend
during the coming winter 100000, 900 to
keep itself warm. The city government
alone will use nearly 100000 tons and
whatever claim New York may have to
municipal cleanliness is to be attribu-
ted 10 the fact that three-Guarters of
the coal shipped from its docks is an
thracte. Where the whole tremen-
dous amount goes may be guessed
from the fact that the large hotels use
JOG tons a day each. the largest steam
ships 1000 tons a day and department
stores each so tons daily. Altogether
Father Knickerbocker with the 3O,Oo0.-
600 tons of coal which he burns an
nually is anything but glad to see the
approach of winter.

AS a result of the startling possible
ties contained in the threatened "X-
hauStion not only of coal. but 81 lufn-
her and other products of Whlca 1t
uses enormous quantities, New York IS
taking keen interest in the work OF
the newly organized Conservation
League of America. That this interest
| is not confined to any single class Is
| indicated by the fact that both Gus
| tave Schwab, president Of the Nation
al Council of Commerce and we'll
| known as a capitalist and John Mitch
| ely. have been enrolled as vice presi-
dents of the League. Another resident
OF New York who is taking an active

summed u2 the situation in two tcrSe

Man Charged with Forging Postal
Money Order Makes
That Plea.

Charles Davey was given his preliminary
hearing Thursday morning before United
States Commissioner Anderson on the
charge of forging a $40 postal money order.
He was bound over TO the federal grand
jury in the sum Of 500, and in default Of
bail was Temanded to Jail.
Davey was arrested a week or ten days
ago, charged with having procured a
money order belonging TO Pearl Bunger
for $40 He sought to have Il cashed with
out first securing her authorization to do
so. The evidence showed that he had tried
to pass the note at a secondhand store,
hut the proprietor OF the store refused to
cash II until the owner of the note had
signed II. Davey subsequently succeeded
in passing the note on a saloon keeper, and
after some little time the forgery was
discovered and traced TO Davey.
In his plea before Commissioner Ander-
son rtavey protested that he was drunk
when he had the order and he does not
know Nhether he committed the forgery
OF not He seemed pitiably contrite, and
held that he had written home and would
soon secure the requisite bail 10 let him
out OF jail In the event OF his failing to
secure bail he will have TO lay in jail until
