TBI'HIKU UtALITT MOT XU KKK Tkuaght That the supply of the World hu a Limit Which Some lay ' Mast be Keaehed. special to THi CHiumcu. " Chicago, Dec. 19.- That this city is on the" verge of a big coal famine will no longer admit of doubt, it is next to in.' possible to secure a ton of hard coal, and tbe soft," cheap sooty Bluff, so roundly denounced, is about alt the consumers hare to warm their gratea. The ques tion of a better 'supply has evolved itseli to this : The coal pit is not inex haustible. The bottom may not be in sight nor its future cleaning up be of any immediate coucern, but its event uality is none the lees a predetermined fact. It may or may not be of any ap preciable concern when its last contri bution to huiuau service is xlumped' in a eoal bin, as in the unseen process of its manufacture and storage it has evi denced a creative design, in which the provision of fuel for man's use was not limited' to an exhaustive article."' The formation of fuel was not arrested when anthracite and bituminous coal ' became a mineral fact, nor was the process of formulation stopped " w heu "what is known as the creative week had its Sat urday uight. This may qualify but it does not annul the fact of a limit to fu ture coal supplies. The world's "annual output of eoal has, ' it is estimated, reached a total of 482,000,000 tons. During the last 20 years there has been a marked increase iu the consumption of coal, which was, no doubt, commensu rate with increased industrial activity. Thus,' comparing " European countries alone, tbe average annual output for the period of 1890-91 was upward of 62,000,' 000 tons greater than during the previ ous decade, and that the interest bade fair to be maintained, so that the world8 consumption .of coal would soon reach 500,000,000. Ons per annum, if it had not already done : eo. In an investiga tion made by a royal commissioner as to the ascertainable sources of coal in Great" Baitain, it was ascertained that not more than 146,773,000,000 tons were available at depths not exceeding 4,000 feet from the surface, a reserve which at the present rate of increase of popula tion and' of coal consumption would be practically exhaused in less than , 300 years. ' The law of limit in this as in all other mineral products is, of course, without exception. It is simply a difference in tonage. . Industrial activity, to which, under present conditions, the use of coal is indispensible for steam and power purposes, is not only multiplying tbe de mands of consumption, but lias a widen ing area of use, to which the map of the two hemispheres is the only limit. We cannot-add a pound of coal to nature's deposit or build an addition to the i planetary cellar, but it is possible to ! economize a product in the use of which j civilization has been ignorantly wasteful. ; - Assistant Postmaster-General. , - Albany.

The U lacier says Win ianguTTfewas at Cloud Cap' last week, - and found everything snug and safe.

At' the . me time the methods of hunting and suing which he prefers are not such as i re regarded with the highest annrnha. tiou by experts in the ' use of rod and gun. He does not care to cast the fly for trout, but prefers to troll for blue., fish. Quail, which afford the finest sport in the neighborhood of Washing- " ton, have never served as game for him, success with them .requiring putient. walking and .great quickness.. He has ' found it more amusinir to shoot ducks , from behind a blind in the Chesapeake,, or to kill deer with a night light in the Adirondacks rather than to stalk them by day. , . ' . , Regret at the announcement that: President Harrison has decided not to. hold a New Year's reception i? general i at the capital, as the custom has . for ; years been an event of peculiarly local ; interest to people oi an classes oi society -here.. To a large contingent of foreign- ers, the diplomatic corps, it is also re- r garded as especially cordial, a fitting, opening of the new year, when they as-; nem Me in a body in the red parlor for a. general interchange of greetings before entering , the blue room to extend the compliments of the season to the chief; magistrate. .The president, cognizant of this, debated the question very seriously before finally deciding in tbe matter. Undoubtedly if the usual order of events was observed at the White House, even. though .Mrs..., McKee and Mrs. Russell Harrison, his daughter and daughter-in- law, took no part in the reception, it. would prove too great a strain upon the ' president's feelings. t The term straddler is quite commonly , heard in the government departments, at present, and every appointment clerk- '; knows what it means. The straddlers are now worried about the papers that are on file with their applications for ap- pointments. During the past four years" tney have derived a great deal of satis-- faction from the fact that munv recom- ' mendations of republicans accompanied; their applications, but now an effort, is. ing made by many to withdraw these And substitute letters from democrats.' - uuiim i uuuiuer, it is saiu, nave aireauy. .. . . . ... . . . one this, though, as a rule, people. olding places secured by republican in-, nenca are r.fntf.nt. with otttt no r.Kcii. papers out of the files, hoping after March 4th to secure democratic en-. dorseinents sufficient to guarantee their nnflitiAna r """" . . r.
