THE MAN WHO GOT UP.
More Clutches Than the Woman Who
Got the Seat

The car had been long time on its
way downtown, and many passengers
had come and gone, says the New
York Sun, each seat as it was emptied
being eagerly taken by one Of the per.
sons who were standing.
Tucked away in the corner seat by
the front door a sad-faced man OF
middle age was sitting. He had been
there long time. His boots were
shiny, but his trousers were sadly
frayed. His collar was clean, but his
coat was turning green. His tie was
the hook-on variety, without a pin,
and there was no sign of a watch
guard about him. He had no paper
with him and spent his time looking
out of the car window.
The car stopped at a corner and a
woman carrying crutch climbed on
the front step and came in by the door
next to the sad-faced man. She did
not seem to be lame exactly. as she
held the crutch in her hand while she
mounted the step unafded and pushed
her way inside, but she seemed tired,
and was evidently vexed at finding the
the car.full.
The sad-aced man looked at her for
Ia moment and then he turned ques-
tioningly to his fellow passengers, but
no one offered the woman with the
crutch seat. After moments hes
itation the sad-faced man touched her
on the elbow and reached for the strap
above his head as he stood up and
offered her his seat.

 Los Angeles, Dead A FORMER BRIDGEPORTER

David Francis Fitzgerald, son of David and Mary S. Fitzgerald, form erly of Stratford, but who for the past three and a half years resided with his parents in Los Angeles, Cal, died there this morning after a very short illness which came about through in- juries he received while harnessing a new horse from which he received in ternal injuries, causing his death. A month ago he assisted with other former Bridgeporters in entertaining the members of the Connecticut Elks while they were visiting in Los An geles at the convention held there.
 He was one of the organizers of the St. James Temperance Society of Stratford and also a member of the church choir and the order of Red Men of that town. His friends could number in the thousands and he pos sessed a rare musical ability. He was machinist by trade and formerly worked at the American & British Mfg. Co. and for the Crane Valve Co. Dr. Edward Fitzgerald, Hon. John J. Phelan, Thomas Langdon and John J. Cunningham are uncles of the de- ceased and he was a grandson of the late James Sexton. who formerly car rfed on the granite and marble busi- ness in Bridgeport. He was in his 29th year and is survived by his parents, on sister and a younger brother.

millions. Years ago. Rockefeller him self estimated his fortune as "some- thing like $500 000, ,O00'' 5f
 In 1905 his fortune was estimated at $550, ,000, ,O00. The Rockefeller wealth to- day would probably reach the stu pendous sum of $700. .O0O, GOO. In 1914 at the same rate of increase. it, will have reached $850, ,000, GOO and in 1919, when MT. Rockefeller will reach his 80th birthday it will total $1,O00. 900 GOO. But according to these calculations. it is not the order of things that this ratio will be the same It will increase the $150, ,000, 900 saved in the first five years will also bring in more millions by the end of the second five years when another $150,000.o00 Will begin bringing in more interest. So, if the ratio were worked out properly, Rocke- feller would be worth a billion long before 1919. S .S
 If Rockefeller suddenly withdrew his present fortune of $700. .o00. GOO from cir culation, it is said he would create a world wide panic. The money must be kept in circulation and must there fore. continue to make money for the richest man in the world.
