MILLIONAIRES WHO

New York Has More of Them Than a County Cork Man Has Cousins.
New York WOrld.)

A retired merchant who died un-
 noticed in this city last March turns
 out to have left an estate of $6, ,449, ,466 1 His case recalls that of John Master
 son Burke. whose $4,000,0O0 left tc charity astonished New York, which 1 had hardly heard of him. Even John { $. Kennedy, with his $60, GOO, ,OO0 was not
 as widely known as Bill Devery or l Chuck Connors, and outside of New 1 York scarcely known at all
 1 No one need blush for such ienor- ance. Millionaires are too common ! Stephen Girard and the original Astor i were conspicuous men in their day, but who now can keep track of all the benevolent Fayerwea thers and Rogerses and eccentric Spite-House SC , Richardsons? A man worth $14, 000 died a few years ago and the city edi- tor of New York newspaper blame lessly inquired who the obscure rich man was.
 John Smith of Oskosh or William Jones of Kankakee packs a million or two in his grip, comes. to New York and is amazed that he attracts no at tention. Robinson of Seattle is an even worse case with $10,000,000 He buys palace on Fifth avenue, and the megaphone man on the Seeing New
 York wagon points it out as Browns, because Brown is more interesting, having given a monkey dinner.
 It is almost enough to make a poor chap with one idea look up from his dollar-grubbing and wonder whether when he gets his million he will not also be lost in the shuffle. The real ization that brains or culture or the intelligent service of charity or re- form, or even as a last resort, public life. is a better road than wealth to fame may be of use to young men and women burning to win the notice of a generation sated with the talk of dol lars.

 The A. B. c. boys, the pioneers of minstrelsy and dance among the younger organizations of the city, when they hold the boards always make a success of their affairs. This will be no ordinary affair. There will be a splendid concert at which a num- Der of artists will make their appear ances, while the main event of the ev- ening will be a prize waltz for the state championship. The girls will, no doubt, be pleased with the etching, An A. B. c. Girl'' from the pen of T. Howard Stelling, the well known local artist. Once again, the event is this evening at Eagles hall.

FAIRFIELD

i Many innocent people, who usually know what is going on, and who live in the center of the town, were quite surprised to learn that vast crowds of folks thronged the streets Sunday, ! and trotted along the muddy roads, across Mill Plain and up past the Ken nel Food Supply plant, and so on out into the country, until the Ferris Farm was reached that they might carry off the stones dining the now fa- nous wall where the bride of three days almost suffered martyrdom, at the hands of two degenerate Poles. If there was any such throng of curios- ity seekers, and if they did carry off to Bridgeport great builders, and pull up the bottom of the well, it is news to people living in the vicinity. Pos sibly a bakers dozen went to the place.

lie Gets Famous College Cheer.
 New Haven, Jan. 26.-Yale's Forest School last night made a hero of Gif ford Pinchot, the man whom President Taft, Yale's great patron, elected from office. The occasion was a farewell banquet held in Woolsey hall, in honor of Professor Henry s. Graves, Pin chot's successor as forester of the United States
 The most significant statement made was the one by Professor Graves that he will find very probably a few rotten trees which will have to be cut down. This may mean a good deal if the strongest sense is to be read in to it-namely a shakeup and beheading i in the department.
 It was secret session of the Forest School, even the walters being forbid den presence in the room during the speaking. Pinchot's shadow, reflected from Washington. seemed to hover back of the speakers table. At one time the Yale yell with nine long ''Pinchots" appended nearly raised the roof
 Professor Graves said last night, though not to the assembly, that he would follow out H1nchOt'S plans. PfOf. James William Tourney lauded the ex forester's achievements, and referred to him as maybe a new Lincoln" It was a big night for Pinchot, now plunged in the investigation at Wash ington concerning his recent contro versy with Ballinger.
 T shall take up the work which has been organized by Pinchot," declared Prof. Graves, who leaves New Haven, Saturday, to enter the government ser vice February 1. "To continue the policy which led to the great principle of the conservation of the country's re- sources, will be my task. I am thor oughly in sympathy with the wise ideas and plans of the recently retired forester, and at present everything bids fair for their continuance"
