SAVING PATRICK MAHONEY.

-, 500 In Thirty.t~o Years
DERBY, Conn, Oct. 24.-Patrick Mahoney
Is the most economical man OF whom the
State of Connecticut has any record. He
worked on a farm owned by Bennett Nichols
for thirty-two years and never received
more than tl2 q month, yet he saved a 300,
and he has taken the money and gone homo
to Ireland to live.
In his youth he was brilliant In his studies
especially in mathematics. For time he
was a teacher. Then his mind gave way
from overwork.
Upon his recovery he was told by his
physician that II he tried to teach again
he would become insane and might never
be aDy better. He was advised TO work on
a farm.
He came to America and began his out
door life on Nichols's farm. He lived q
most frugal life and worked all the time,
rain or shine. Although living within six
miles OF Bridgeport and three miles Of
Derby he visited the former city only once
and this place probably only dozen times
in the thirty-two years.
He used neither tobacco nor liquor and
rarely spent . cent Of his earnings. Thus
he drew 81 of his pay last April and on Oct.
/ had % cents Of that dollar left.
All his savings were deposited In tho

strong handwriting, little oramped by

had never stinted himself. for he had no

by the farmer for whom he worked.

William Whitney, after long and

while the rest will probably be sold to the

the English racetracks Mr. Whitney has
EXPRESSED regret; but he gives various
reasons for his action, chief among which
i. that he has not the time to devote to
his operations on the other side, In view
of the maintenance of a big stable in this
country and his interests in the Saratoga
track
Mr.. Whitney is an enthusiastic turiman.
He likes TO see his horses run and be near
