WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, THE ASTORIA. OREGOIT. New: York News Letter NEW YORK, Oct, JO.New York feds more than a merely curious lit tcrcst in the crcpeatcd prediction that the coal minci of the country will tic exhausted lit another hurt drcd .years . for the reason that this city Is the greatest conl consumer In the world. According to statistic! recently collected . the metropolis imc over 25,000,000 ton annually and , require tha service of , 50,(X)0 men to keep itself warmed and lighted, More, than $130,000,000 i in vested in the bushiest of supplying; the city's resldtttti with cowl, and no leu than' 2000 'coat Mid and 'ISO tug are kept buy in transporting it about New York harbor, These coal barge average! lit Yiipnclty' from '350 to ISlK) ton apiece, and In them there i always aflonl-about the city more'thau a milliorj anil a half tons of coal, Every day there I loaded in to barge in the jiarbor ,,oj New York more coal than i used In ' whole year throughout the1' Empire of Chi' na. Last year the coal wharvc in the city, handled 28,440,000 ton r of coal, and thi year the total p: onuses to run well above 30,000,000 $ torn, Averaging factorlei and mall con sumer at a price of four dollar for each ton,, New york will tpena dur- ina the comimr winter 1120,000,000 to keep itself .warm. The city govern ment alone will use nearly 700,000 ton and whatever claim New York may have to municipal cleanlinest it to be attributed to the fact, that three-quarters of the coal shipped from it dock J anthracite. Where the whole trcmendou amount goe may be guested from ; the fact that the large hotel ue 100 ton a day each SO ton daily. Altogether Fa ton a day and department store each SO tno daily.

That thi inter est is not confined to any' single class, i indicated by the fact that both Gustave Schwab, ' president of the National Council of Commerce and well known a a capitalist,' and John Mitchell, have been enrolled a vice president of the League.

To check uch waste the Conservation League has announced that, backed by some of the niott powerful organizations in the country", uuch a the American Federation of Labor, the National Civic Federation, the Farmer'!

This week has seen the organization of the first feminine flying club, whose mem bers are very much in earnest in as serting that wives have just at good a right to fly as husband. Juvenile interest is being encouraged by the Aeronautic Society which' is to of fer a scriet of prizes for kite flying competition by school ; chldren, While kite-flying may seem to be but distantly related to man-flying, thi it by no mean the case. One of America's ' foremost aeronauts, . Dr Alexander Graham Bell, has experi mented for year with kites.: So in offering prize for juvenile kite fly ing the Aeronautic Society , is not only stimulating interest in a very important detail, but is furthering the chief purpose of it organization, which it to arouse interest In flying among all claw. .To thi end it of fers the free use of its grounds and shops at Morris Park to budding aeronauts. Instruction in flying will be given at the . same place, where the city's first flying school i locat ed.

BROWN ' "It bends ' with wfo V 5- J ISroadwayilc and especially fre quenter of the large hotel along the Great White Way are busy just at present in examining their jfinger and toe to ace If they still "work" atsfactorily, A noted , college pro fessor lia caused thi worry by an nouncing that if labor saving devi ce' continue to invade all fields of daily life' the human being will soon lose all incentive for independent ac tion and will become only an animat ed automaton, which will go through life pressing buttons, and dropping coins 'in the slots of automatic ma chine. Country .people, this scientist holds, need not fear an early ap proach of thi evolutionary change, since they are less fully supplied with self-working appliances. It is rather in the big cities, and particu larly in the large hotel, that he sees the near approach of a race hope lessly dependent being. When a man doesn't even have to open a door for hhmelf he hold that the automatic age has surely arrived. These observations on the part of the professorial reasoner were In spired by the installation in the Ho tel Astor of an electric motor which, by the mere pressing of a button, turns the doors without effort on the part of the person entering or leaving the hotel. On the other entrances for a good many years do not seem to be either alarmed or hand, New Yorkers, who have had to push heavy revolving door at hotel changed by the innovation. Mr. F. A. Muschcnheim, the manager of the Astor, is the Edison of hotel men, so far as the use of automatic device go, but he doesn't take any stock in the professor's alarm over the ill effects of the multiplication of self-operating machintry. "There will always be plenty of big thing to keep people busy in New York," he say, "and you can't blame them if they like to save trouble in dealing with small things in, every , possible way, by the use of automatic device." The "Little Church Around the Corner," probably the most famous church in the country, has just pass ed its sixtieth birthday. Known in literature! and even in song, it is the one church in Amerca which hat a national reputation!' Few persons, however, know the origiri of the pop ular name,-or the correct name of this church. Its proper designation" is the Church of the Transfiguration. It jwas originally orgaijied by twen ty persons in 1848, and had its first home on Twenty-fourth Street, just west of Fifth Avenue. Today it has nineteen hundred communicants, and within (he last jen yean the "original pastor, Dr. Houghton, was succeed ed as vicar by his nephew, so" that the church has had men of the same name at' 'its pastors ' thnnuhout ' Its history, it was not until the early rentiesthat .the church attained the nickname by which it is :ttow generally known. On the day of the death of George Holland, the actor, his friend, Joseph Jefferson, now al; so dead, went to a certain church on Madison avenue to arrange for. Hol land's funeral. Prejudice against the stage - was stronger then than it is now and the pastor refused, to read the funeral service over an ac tor. He told Jefferson, however, that there was a "little church around the corner" where the funeral might be conducted the Church of the Transfiguration. Holland's ' funeral took place there and .the incident spread broadcast. Ever since then this famous church has been known as the Little Church Around the Corner.": Many eloping members of the Four Hundred have been mar ried' there and most of the famous actors and actresses who have died within the past twenty-five years have been buried from its portals. AMUSEMENTS POOR RELATION TOMORROW. Lee Willard in Leading Role, With ' Excellent Cast, Makes Big Hit Never before has Lee Willard ap peared to' greater advantage before a Salem audience" than last: night in the role of Noah Vale, a seedy geniti9, in Edward E. Kidder's mas terpiece drama, "A ' Poor Relation," which was presented at the Grand opera house by Lee Willard and his company. This wai the first per formance of the season and it was greeted by a good sized and highly pleased audience. This comedy drama was the great favorite of the cele brated actor, Sol Smith Russell, and Mr.: Willards' characterization of the, leading role, Noah Vale, certainly did credit to his much revered predeces sor. ' The cast of characters through out was the' best that the, theatrical market can afford and, judging from the number of curtain calls accord- ed the, leading characters, if , Mr. Willard should live to favor a Salem audience with his appearance again, he will most ccrtainfy fill the house to overflowing Salem Statcman. . THE HONEYMOONERS Of all the pretty girls who ever left Broadway to go on the road Geo. M. Cohan ha enticed away the pret tiest forty for "The Honeymooncrs," which come to the Astoria Theatre next Sunday, It would be a shame to let any but beauties wear such adorable costumes and the result is the stunningest- chorus on the road. It i a hard working chorus for there are no les than 20 musical num ber and a they are mostly big bits the encores are numerous.

The New York Herald declared that it was the "Big Cohan show."
