01SA0dGI OL4s EXHIBITION AND AUCTION SALE OF
 ORIENTAL RUGS AND CARPETS.
 Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, the Rowland, Cow, Stark Co.,, of Bridgeport, will inaugurate the supreme novelty of grand free exhib- ition of luxurious and rare oriental art and magniticence. Some seven::or eight months ago the Syndicate Trading Go. sent a rug expert over to Contantinople and all through Persia, Turkey, Af- ghinistan, India, in factsall over Turkey Europe, Asia and the Orient in search of the choicest and finest rugs and carpets that could be found in the most famous rug countries of the world. He had unlimited capital and time behind him. The usual time taken by the largest American and European buyers is 90 days from New York or London back to New York or London The trip for the syndicate was over four months long; the search and hunt more thorough than ever before done by foreign buyer in the far away and sacred East. The result was an invoice of one of the finest, rarest and largest collections of real and genuine antique oriental rugs and carpets that ever came out of Con- stanstinople, or that ever came into the custom house at New York city. The principal and prime reason for selling these rugs at auction is the advantage it gives to the customers and patrons of the Syndicate stores; in other words, none of the stores could, for a minute, consider the idea of carrying continuous ly in stock $10,000 or $15, ,000 worth of these valuabierug and carpets; yet, in this way, they give to their patrons all | the advantages and opportunity to choose and select from stock of seven times $10,000 in value, just what they want, yes, and more too; for the pur chasers make their own prices. Every piece in the collection is to be sold al public auction Monday, Tuesday and | Wednesday of next week, at just wha you see fit to bid for them. No reserve No limit. No price. Just what yol bid at public auction will be the prices you pay for them. The sale will tak' place rain or shine. A catalogue of th' rugs and carpets comes to u- to-day; i you have not received one write to th

 BRIDGEPORT IS FOR PROGRESS,
 There are some queer people in Bridge port. At least that is the impression
 they give a disinterested observer. Il
 tte days of the old "bobtail' street Ca system there were humorous allusion and angry assertions that it had to pu up with from these people. They ,wer , not satisfied, but wanted something bet ter. They wanted more uniform ant
 more rapid transit. All this was al
 right; nothing queer about it. Vel
 they now have rapid transit, and righ
 here is the queerness of their makeu
 emphasized. Now they are trying t
 hamper the Traction company with var
 ous regulations and retard the furthe , progress of the road with the full migt
 of their little power. What we want
 a greater Bridgeport and the day whe we shall have it is coming on apac,
 Good rapid transit communication b' tween Fairfield and here will prove on of the greatest stepping stones towar accomplishment of that object that W , have the chance to make use of nov Fortunately the pessimists referred above are in such decided minorit
 that their opposition will not prever : the will of the people from carrying 0,
 it's mandate. This is not an argumel e or appeal for the benefit of the Tractio company but for the benefit of the cit
 through the medium of the company.
