TO HEAD BRIDGEPORT TRUST
 co. IN FEW WEEKS
President of First Bridgeport National Bank to Head New
 Alliance Financial Interest

Charles G. Sanford. president of the F'irst-Bridgeport National bank, is to succeed F. w. Marsh. for years head of the Bridgeport Trust Go. when the election of officers of the reorganized Bridgeport Trust Co. is held early in February.
 Following the announcement made yesterday that the Federal Trust Go. and the Bridgeport Trust Co. had amalgamated, and with increased capital stock would carry on a gen eral banking and trust business, there was much speculation as to the make up of the officers of the company.
 In well informed banking circles it became generally circulated yes terday that MT. Sanford, who for many years has been a leading figure in local banking circles, would be the head of the company. Today the story became generally circulated in business houses.
 MT. Sanford himself would not say that he is to be the prenident of the new company. He stated:
 "You may say that the plans of the company are not completed just yet. We expect to secure some charter changes. This will be done as soon as possible when the legislature meets. It is planned to increase the direc- torate. That is all I care to say about the matter now"
 Asked as to when the election or said he expected it would be early in February.
 It is understood that E. H. Judson treasurer of the Bridgeport Trust Go. will be continued in that capacity under the new regime.

The Sinner.

Of the late Bishop Charles O. Graf ton a Fond du Lac man said the other day:
 "Bishop Grafton was remarkable for the neatness and point of his pulpit ut- terances.
 "Once, during a disastrous strike. a capitalist of Fond du Lac arose In a church meeting and asked leave to speak. The bishop gave him the floor, and the man delivered himself of a long panegyric upon captains oI industry. upon the good they do by giving men work. by booming the country, by reducing the cost of pro duction. and so forth
 .'when the capitalist had finished bis self praises and. flushed and satisfied had sat down again Bishop GTafton rose and said with quiet significance: m

The oldest Order.

What is the oldest order in ex- istence? The claim Is made for that of the holy sepulcher. It appears thaE no date or the name of founder can be assigned to the Order of the Holy Sepulcher, though there is a legendary tradition that traces it's origin to n time of Charlemagne. In the middle eA the last century, however. when t95f Latin patriarchate of Jerusalem Was re-esta blished, the office of grand maA~ ter of the order was transferred to ir by Pope Plus TX. who many years later. in 1868. created by statute three ranks of the order-the grand cross commander and knight. The cOstume is a white cloak with the cross ot Jerusalem in red enamel. The popg himself is grand master of the order.- Westminster Gazette.
