WHO HAS FOUND s75
 OF POOR MANS MONEY

Anybody who finds or who has found $25 in bills somewhere on East Main street, or it's neighborhood, between Steuben street and Crescent avenue, may return the money to the business office of the Farmer. This money was lost Tuesday morning, by a man who can i'll afford to lose it. His wife has recently died. He has had all the fun eral expenses to pay and has five chiI- dren to care for. It is apparent that under these circumstances, as he is a young man, and one whose wages are not excessive, he cannot have saved much There are therefore additional reasons why the finder should return the money. besides those imposed by the rules of plain honesty

PLANT OF OLD
 CITIZEN TAXPAYER
Morgan Flynn Can't Get Work on Streets of City Though He Has Paid Taxes
 For Many Years.
NOT LIKE OLD TIMES HE SAYS
Biltz Tells Him He's Too Slow - "But Pm Not Too Slow to Get Down to the Office of the Tax Collector Once Year." Declares Flynn.

There is not much chance for an old Rridgeporter in this city any more, |" the speaker was Morgan Flynn. one of the best known residents of North Bridgeport, for many years an employe of the Howe Sewing Machine Co.,, when the city was young. MT. Flynn said he was employed by the city upon street work and was fired because the foreman who had been in the town for few weeks, said he was too slow The man who took his place had not been in the country a month and spoke no English.
 this morning MT. Flynn said: Tt don't seem like a square deal. I did my little mite toward building up this town. Every dollar I ever earned since I was a boy has been spent here. I came to Bridgeport S7 years ago and have been a taxpayer here for 36 years. I have raised a family here and I new CT lost a day in any place where ever worked Years ago the city work on the streets was given to old citizens in preference to anyone else. I have not worked since the American Grapho- phone Co. shut down two years ago, excepting two weeks that I got in on the streets a year ago and nearly three weeks this year.
 Since my wife died I have rented my house at 13S Beers street and I live in furnished room. The $14 that I get in rent does not keep me so I thought that I would ask the city for a job. But MT. Biltz seems more will ing to put on strangers in the coun- try, to say nothing of being new corners to the city. It hurt me to see a man a few weeks in the country talk ing job away from me and this is the first time in my life that I ever went to a, newspaper or made kick I think that the taxpayers and old BridgeporterS should know what is in store for them if they ask the public works department for a job-
 "I also want to say that in the 36 years I'have paid taxes I have paid them promptly and I never asked for an abatement in my life. For several years I have paid a second district tax For this I am supposed to have a tric lights, police and fire protection The most essential of these are the sewer and water. There is no running water in my house and there is no sewer connection although I have paid for these advantages for years without a whimper. I dare say I have paid enough in Second district taxes to moro than pay my sewer assessment
 'T am not too slow to get down to the tax collectors office every year, but they say that I am too slow to go to work for the city on the streets. I am able to work and say that citi- zens ought to get the preference.
 eff the city of Bridgeport has reach ed that stage that it is trying to pass the chloroform bottle to it's old resi- me. and I'll bet there is not another city in the country where I would get the shabby treatment that I have re- ceived here. It is not the fault of the people of the city but it is the fault of those the city trusts to run its busi- ness"

0AsToE ,...,. >Ihs Kind You Have AIways Bought is,s'''' ss &xZzzzx ROOSEVELT RUNS INTO STRIKE OF
 RICKSHAW BOYS
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press.)
 Nairobi, East Africa, June 30.-The announcement of the police here to- day that they will not yield one point in their fight with the rickshaw boys who have been on strike since Colonel Roosevelt and his party arrived. is taken to mean that there is small hope for any settlement of the difficulty and Europeans will be compelled to walk while they are here this year. The rickshaw strike originated from new set of police regulations requiring the boys who pull the carriages to under go medical examination, comply with certain restrictions concerning lodg- ings and food, to observe the traffic rules and to pay fines for transgreS- sions of the regulations.
 The rickshaw boys, who are Kikuyus from IS to IT years of age, chose a very opportune time for the strike. There is practically no other means of transportation in Nairobi except the rickshaws. Thers is no street car sys- tenn and horses cannot be kept here because of "horse sickness" Prior to the coming of the Roosevelt party people had been pouring into the city to see the great hunter. Every rick shaw in the town had been engaged for week in advance because the govern ment house is onr the top of a high hill and it is a long walk up there. The strike was not announced until the last moment. There was a panicky rush to get carriages and rickshaws that would have commanded from $4 to S5 for the evening but went for $15 and s20. Even then the supply was quickly exhausted and on the evening of Roosevelt'S arrival, many women in ball dresses and men faultleSsly garb- ed were forced to walk up the hill.
 Many of the guests arrived dust covered and limp with precipitation. The Nairobi rickshaw boys are paid eight rupees, or a little more than S2.5O a month. They can live on almost nothing and the prospects are for an indefinite fight.

The Last Amertc.n Ktnr.

The Last American King.
 Maximilian and his followers were shut up in Querataro. Many powerful influences were at work to save him. Seward also did his best 1At he made little or no effort to escape. If he had failed as an emperor he could at least face disaster with the courage and the dignity of right princey nature. Be trsyed by the infamous Lopez, tried before a court martial of boys and or dered to be shot, he spent his7as days in the discharge of all the obligations of friendship and courtesy. A false report of the death of Carlotta being brought to him in prison he said sim ply, "One less tie to bind me to the worldi" Led forth to his execution and told to stand between two of his generals who were likewise condemn ed he surrendered the place of honor to General Miramon in recognition of his courage The rattle of the mus kets marked perhaps the end of all monarchy in the new world. But the bitterest critic of democracy could scarcely desire a gentler figure than Maximilian's to stand before the eyes of Americans as the last representative of aristocracy and of kingship on this William Garrott in Allan tic

ARCHBISHOP FARLEY BUYS
 HOMESTEAD OF POPE PLUS K

Rome, June 30.-Archbishop Farley ef New York has definitely settled up on the purchase of the homestead Of Pope Plus K at Sinfgaglia- It will be transformed into a shrine. in which relics of that Pointiff will be placed. Archbishop Farley in a, recent conver- sation with the Pope said that a. New York priest had contributed $500 to the project, the priest recalling that when he was a child his father had said to him: "Pius K is a saint
 The Pope was greatly touched at this incident and asked the Archbishop when he had seen Pope Plus TX, to which the Archbishop replied that he had seen his Holiness when he visited the American College, where Mgr. Far ley was a student, during a Vatican council; then shortly before the fall of the temporal power, when Plus TX suddenly appeared in the Villa Borg hese, where the American students were playing baseball, the Pope taking great interest in the game; and, final iy, on the eve of his departure for America, after he had been ordained a priest. when he was presented by Bishop Chatard, then rector of the American College, to the Pontfff, who gave him a silver medal, which Is still religiously preserved.
 The Pope thanked Archbishop Farley warmly for his generous interest and asked him to extend his thanks to those who had contributed to the plan to preserve the homestead.

Gives Life Blood
 To Save Wife

New York, June 30.-At the inquest before Coroner Hamburger yesterday into the death of Amelia Reichert on June 10, Dr. H. s. Jacobs of the Wash ington Heights Hospital told a story of the quiet heroism of Hermann Rel chert, the woman's husband.
 Mrs. Reichert, who was 36 years old, slipped on a piece of ice in front of her home, at 1885 Amsterdam avenue. Her husband was in his restaurant and did not see her in time to assist her. She was taken to the hospital suffer- ing from internal hemorrhage. Then she told her husband that she would die.
 ''Can nothing be done to save her?' he asked the physician.
 pr. Jacobs told him there was a pos- sfbility of saving her by transmission of blood.
 ''She is the mother of nine children and I would give the last drop of my life for her. Here's my arm,'' said he, rolling up the sleeve.
 Or. Jacobs made the incisions and bound the arms of husband and wife together. Reichert insisted on the con- tinuance of the operation until the physician felt that it's prolongation was not justifable.
 Mrs. Reichert rallied a little after the operation, but did not survive.

Pledged to Raise
 $l,Oo0, 900 for Wesleyan

Middletown, Conn.,, June 3O.-At the alumni lucheon yesterday Wesleyan's new president, Dr. William Arnold Shanklin, pledged himself to raise a S1 ,0OO, ,OoO. endowment for the university and as a starter announced two gifts, one of $50.000 from Judge George G. Reynolds, Al, Brooklyn, N. Y., and one of $25,000 from James N. Brown, New York City Both are trustees of the university.
 In the midst of his maiden speech to the alumni Dr. Shankklin turned to Judge Henry c. M. Ingraham, GA Brooklyn, IN. Y., president of the board of trustees, and asked him how much of an endowment was needed Judge Ingraham suggested $1,000 OOO and President Shanklin said all right and stepped over and shook hands with the head of the board of trustees. The ap- plause was tremendous and when 1t died down Dr. Shanklin announced the two gifts.
