NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Within few weeks New York city will lose another famous landmark, closely connected with the early history of lower Manhattan. St Johns chapel, the noted Episcopal house of worship in Varick street, the cornerstone of which was laid in 1903, will be torn down to make room for the widening of Varick street and the extension of Seventh avenue. The stFee- iir- provements, which are undoubtedly much needed, were decided upon hy the city some time ago and the work will soon be begun. The chapel, which is the property of the corporation of Trinity church, was considered by architects fine specimen Of the British Georgian period. The chapel, which cost about $173,000, q large sum for that time, was dedicatea in 1907. It contained a fine organ builc in Philadelphia, which cost S6000. In 1872 the fine instrument was carried away by a British cruiser and was recovered only after the payment of a S2O0O ransom. Among the distin- guished families which used to wor- ship in the chapel in the early days were the Voseys, the Barclays, the Charltons and the Lispenards. After 90 years an alarming exodus Of fam flies of rank began. The leading citi- zens, one by one, removed to less crowded localities in the northern part of the island and warehouses took the place of the handsome dwell ing houses. In 1908 the Trinity ves- trymen decided that the chapel had outgrown it's usefulness and steps were taken to sell the property. The chapel then had 735 commJnicants and lO5S baptised persons connected with 1t. The action Of Trinity called forth a torrent of criticism, and the legal fight went to the supreme court
 In the end the Trinity vertrymen agreed to keep the chapel open So iong as it appeared that there vas a religious need for the work.
 The closing week of the Coney Is land season, with it's socalled carni
 val is a thing of the past and the decent citizens of New York sincerely hope that the carnival just ended will have been the last ever held in Coney. Ever since this carnival fea 1sGTs was introduced by the owners Of the amusement places, hotels aud res taursnts in COney Island, the closing week of every season was scarcely more than an ocgie of rowdyism, li centiousness and lawlessness in gen
 eral. This year the conditions were far worse than ever before and tht scenes at Coney during the closin week were chaos and riot.
