"Christie" Finnegan Gets Letter From East Side Native Filled With Reminis. cences of Youthful Days-Man Who Wrote Tender Song Now Lives on Farm in Monroe.

An old Church street boy, born and raised in this city is the editor and proprietor of the Pittsburg Kansan. He is Dr. J. F. Callen. Across the top of his newspaper is printed, "Only Dem ocratic newspaper published in Craw- ford.'' He and Policeman Chris Fin negan were pals when they were kids. Chris had not heard from the editor of the Kansan until yesterday, when he received from him a letter which had been prompted by recollections of strel singing, ''Si1ver Threads Among the Gold.'' In the letter the writer supposes that Arthur w. French, the author is dead, not being aware that hits in its time than any other song writer, is now living on farm in Mon roe. The letter written by the Kan sans editor will be of interest to old Bridgeporters, particularly those of Hast Bridgeport. He explains why it is that when one is once a Bridge porter he is always a Bridgeporter.
 He says: Dear Old Schoolmate: A singing "Silver Threads Among the Gold" at a local theatre The song carried me back to Bridgeport, where the author, Arthur French lived and guess. died. The day following got a copy of a Bridgeport paper and saw in it a round faced copper that was labeled. ttC Finnegan." Had I written the article would have had to label it Christie Finnegan. No other title would seem right to an old East Sid- err.
 'eThe last time we met we were in a gondola at the Pan American Elk position in Buffalo and we went over old times as you will remember.
 'I believe it can be truly said Once Bridgeporter Always Bridgeport er.' For 30 years I have travelled all quarters of the world, crossed both oceans and the equator twice, but have never reached a point where my interest in news from old Bridgeport ever Jagged. If no other source there always remained Barnum's circus and could always find someone who had seen that, and that tender tie made the stranger a friend of mine. 4-~
 "J doubt very much if the present genera ton will have the same tender ness of thought, that we of the old school have. We were as you might say one big family of homes. with ev- cry door in the neighborhood open to every man, woman and child in the neighborhood The recollection of those happy days oftimes brings mois- ture to my eyes when I think it over, and the prayers, God Bless Old Bridge port and the old Bridgeporters comes unbfdden to my lips.
 "You have my best wishes Christie and hope some day to see old Bridge port and you again.
 Yours,
 J. F. CALLEN.'
