ALDERMAN FINLAN DIES OF BRAIN
 FEVER AGED 28
Was Serving Second Term as Alderman From Seventh
 District.
HAD DONE IMPORTANT WORK
Especially in Considering In
 equaIitieS in Local Taxation.

Alderman John J. F.inlan, died of brain fever. after having been il less than week. last night, at the home of his father, Edward Finlan, S9 Franklin street.
 Alderman Finlan, although but 2S years old, had enjoyed the friendship and acquaintance of hundreds of peo- pie. He was known to pretty nearly everybody in the Seventh District, which had honored him with two cleo tions to the Common Council, in which he had served faithfully and with dis tinction, for more than three years. He was Democrat. fss
 He was appointed by Mayor Marcus Ls Reynolds to the committee on tax equalization, which, although practi- cally without funds, succeeded in in augurating tax reform in Bridgeport, upon scale which promises complete results within a few years.
 Perhaps the most important work done by Alderman Finlan was as a member of this committee.
 The matters uncovered by the com rnittee were of such nature that tax equalization became almost as a mat ter of compulsion an issue in the last campaign, and following the election the work of equalizing values was un- dertaken in earnest.
 The work of this commit required a long and careful study of many facts by the members of the committee asSindividualss and of this work Alder man Finlan did more than his share.
 But he gave equal attention to all matters connected with his duties in the Common Council, and his vote up- on important questions was almost un.. iformly dictated by sound Judgment and a sound conceptionA of the de- mands of the people. He~was mem Der of the committees on lamps or dinances and Memorial Day.
 MT. Finlan was personally popular. His manner was genial, but he was not demonstrative, No member Of the council was more beloved by his fel- low members than he.
 He was the son of Edward and the late Catherine F'inlan, and was born and educated in this city. As sales man and collector for his father, in people and formed many friendships.
 He is survived by his father, Ed ward Finlan, by five sisters, Catherine, Margaret, Mrs. John F. Keane, Jose- brothers, John and Alexander Poland.
 He was a member of the Bridgeport Lodge of Elks, of Bridgeport Aerie of Eagles. and ~of the Ancient Order of Hibernfans.
 The funeral will take place. Satur- day morning at 8:3e at the home of Edward Finlan and a half hour later at St. Augustine's church. At the home the ritual of the Elks will be ex, enplifed by the officers of Bridgeport lodge. The body will be inferred in St. Michael's cemetery.
 Mayor Buckin gham, when informed, last night, of the death of Alderman Fialan was greatly pained. sIIe saids CT knew that the alderman had been i'll of late, but I am shocked to learn of his death. It is unfortunate that one whose usefulness was so great and whose life was so full of promise should have been cut off in his young manhood. His death will be sad news to all who knew him.

A i1Umald GIBRALTAR.
The Story That Is Told of the English
 Colonel Burnaby.

The Story That Is Told of the English
 Colonel Burnaby.
 In the biography of Colonel Fred Burnaby there is a characteristic story, told by his friend Lord Binning of that soldier of herculean frame and reckless courage;
 We were engaged in a football match on the green inside Windsor cavalry barracks, and the verandas- were crowded with onlookers as the colonel, dressed for London in frock coat and tall hat, with q cigar in his mouth, came out of the officers guar ters and proceeded slowly across 8 corner of the ground, apparently ob- livious of the fact that a match was in progress at the time. At this moment our fu1lback, gigantic Yorkshireman named Bates, who must have weighed nearer fifteen than fourteen stone. charging impetuously for the ball, dashed full into Burnaby. The impact was terrific, but while the Yorkshire man, hurled backward by the shock as though he had co1lfded with a noun tain, lay gasping On the ground, neither Burnaby's hat nor the angle of his cigar was in the smallest degree dis turbed. In fact he scarcely. seemed to realize that a collision had taken place. When he did so he removed his cigar from his mouth and, with his pleasant smile, said, Dear me, I do hope I am not interfering with the game" The shout of delight which went up from the verandas was a thing to remember
