years old was sitting quietly at his home in Brook

and smoke with his friends. The old man is Josiah

and now lives at No 1876 Lexington avenue, Brook

Mr Zeitlin has bodily ailments save an oc-

to live many years longer He has never mas

on the current news, and is especially interested
in the coming Presidential election. He reads all
the Yiddish papers and takes daily walk. II is
hard for the old man to account scientifically for
his longevity since he has always used tobacco
and spirits and eats whenever he feels hungry

FRESH AIR FUND FOURTH.
Children from Tenement Houses
Celebrate in Country Homes.

Independence Day was celebrated in all the Trib-
Fresh Air Fund homes in a sane manner Inc
children are becoming familiar with their new en-
vironment and word was received at the office of
the fund in the Tribune Building that the Fresh
Air children were all thriving and enjoying every
minute OF the time.
The children sent to Utica have been distributed
by the committee of which the Rev. DR.. Dana w
Bigelow is chairman, and his committee is already
looking ahead TO entertaining another large party
later in the season. In order to do this more
money will have be raised, and so thoroughly Is
this work appreciated by the friends of the fund
in Utica that il is believed the contributions TO
cover the expense Will surely be received.
This matter of expense is, Of course. vit4I
thing but the good done in sending children from
the congested districts to the country is being rec
ognized. Last week a contribution was received
from Delaware, and among many others there was
received a check for s. 80 from the Sunday school
pupils Of the Edgehin Church at spuyten Duyvil-
When pupil in this Sunday school has birthday
anniversary he puts in the number Of pennies he Is
years old for the Fresh Air Fund Thus the
amount was raised. Last year 1t WIS a little more
than IS.
In sending the check for s. 80 the superintendent
wrote: This matter has created good deal OF
enthusiasm and the children are very much inter
ested in vour work From the junior branch OF
tie Christian Endeavor Society Of the same church
A check for $40 was received for the fund
An appeal for money is being made in cities
other than Utica, and il is expected that the re-
sponses will be satisfactory This cooperation
means lust so much more benefit for the city chill
dren who must depend upon the liberalty of the
friends of the fund in places where there are no
crowded tenement houses, where many persons 90

The managers of the Middletown and Gosheh
Convalescent Children's Home to which the fund
sent convalescents, met last week, and their re-
mort showed that 1eo children were cared for from
+z-o TO twelve weeks last season. They had the
services Of a physician. who did not charge the

HOLIDAY BRIDGE CRUSH.
Repairs to Brooklyn Span Rob Pleas
are Seekers of Temper.

Holiday travel to Coney Island Brighton Beach
and surrounding resorts badly disarranged
yesterday forenoon because of repair work on the
Brooklyn Bridge which made necessary suspen-
sion Of the through service to the beaches and
rendered irregular the shuttle train service over the
structure As result many thousands OF persons
lost part of their holiday and all of their temper
At one time only shuttle train was running
and thousands of persons waiting at the Man
haitian end of the bridge hopeless crush Later
four shuttle trains put into operation but the
waiting throngs had increased that even these
did not make any immediate impression After
noon, though. the through train service was re
suTned, and those who went to the oeacnes IN
the afternoon experienced difficulty.
Repairs are being made to the elevated tracks
at the Brooklyn terminal These repairs, accord
ing TO representatives OF the Brooklyn kappa
Transit Company, entirely under the control OF
the Bridge Department, and were responsible 1or
the tie-up which the railroad company itself could
not help. The work was begun on FRIDAY night
the through service being shut off at I p IN. II
was expected that the work would be completed
early yesterday morning and the railroad COM
pany's officials thought they had made adequate
arrangements TO handle the holiday crowds But
the repairs took considerably longer than ex-
pected, and the shuttle trains could not begin 10
handle the throngs of passengers.
The police called the jam of the wCtst they
ever had experienced at the Manhattan terminal
Captain James Murtha and the bridge squad mad
their hands full. and it was due only TO their
hard work that many accidents to women and chill
dren in the big jam were avoided. Every time
shuttle train would come into the station there
would be a wild scramble to board it, worse than
many football rushes. The holidaymakers were
hot their clothing torn. they were tired from
waiting and thoroughly angry at losing SO much
time. and their tactics were not especially gentle
Policemen had to back and forth on the shuttle
trains prevent the disorder from developing into
ruffianism-
At Captain Murthas suggestion the BROOKLYN
Rapid Transit officials opened to the public the
upper platform. which usually is used for the Fifth
avenue elevated trains, and this eased the crowd
ing somewhat. But even with four shuttle trains
running, the hours from 10 on until noon were as
bad as the police have experienced.
