"HIISSING."

One element Of interest that has been
brought out in connection with the
Bridgeport Comm murder mystery is the
considerable number of young women who
are, or were, missing" in the neighbor-
hood of the scene of the crime During
seven days the body was positively"
identified as being that of no less than
nine different persons all ofwhom were
unaccountably missing at the time the
identification was made. Either of these
missing young women might have been
the victim of the tragedy, and in each
instance there could have been construct
cd a chain of strong circumstantial evil
dence. Two or three of the women who
were supposed to be the Bridgeport
corpse have been accounted for, the most
dramatic instance among them being the
Homecoming of Miss Perkins after ar
rangements had been made for her flu
neral. But the greater number of the
missing young women are stll miss
ing. Their whereabouts is shrouded in
almost as much mystery as is the fate
of the unfortunate creature who has been
the cause of all of the investigating.
If within q few miles of this Connecticut
city there were in one week nine young
women who had dropped out of sight,
some of them for only a few days, but
the others for a greater or less time and
perhaps forever, how many must be the
cases of missing in the country at large
during a week or a year! And how many
of them are ever rediscovered? A writer
who have been paying some attention to
criminal history for several years back
says there has not been a mysterious crime
with an unknown victim or perpetrator
but has developed the fact that there were
from two to ten persons missing" any
one of whom ght be a principal in the
crime; and in a case like that at Bridge
port when a young woman is the victim
Of a murder the number of possibilities
is nearly always large. In other words 1t
is held that young women are more often
missing" than any other class of per-
sons. 1t is estimated that FIVE women
disappear from their usual haunts never
TO reappear there again to every one man
that disappears Is this because society
sets up different codes of ethics to be OBJ
served by women and men, or rather
treats the violation of social ethics more
leniently in the case of men than in the
case of women? There are reasons for
thinking that such is the case. An erring
woman with any of the finer sensibilties
remaining must bury her identity and be-
come missing" nominally if not In fact
while society will forgive. condone or for
get a similar lapse on the part of a man.

ENTERTAINMENTS. E
Hyperion Theate- 1.-THE HEART OF MARYLAND" TO. NIGIIn

Of especial moment in the dramatic world in this vicinity will be the per formance for the first and only times in New Haven of David Belasco's lat est and most prominent play, "The Heart of Maryland" with the original New York cast, at the Hyperion thea ter tonight, tomorrow and Wednes- day nights. There will be a matinee Wednesday, In his latest play, "The Heart of Maryland" Mir Belasco has brought forward a dramatic work that should long hold a conspicuous place in popular estimate and critical favor It is war play in which there are no bombs bursting" in view of the audi ence, no tableaux of slaughter, groan- ing or dying men in the scene. Yet throughout the play there are the in- dications that battles are being fought and won or lost, and the theme of the story, the vital principle of the play, is woman's love.
 Mrs. Leslie Carter is seen in the lead lng role, Maryland Calvert, supported by a strong company, including Maur- ice Barrymore, Odell Williams, Minnie Dupree, Helen Tracy, Helen Macbeth and others. The celebrated belfry scene in the last act has been much talked about. An alarm is made and the or der is given to ring the bell in the church tower as a signal that 8 con demned prisoner has escaped. Mary land, to save her lover from pursuit and capture, rushes up into the belfry and, grasping the clapper in both hands, swings to and fro while the dear old sexton, far below, is vainly pulling at the bell rope in his endeavor to ring out the alarm.

The speaker gave several instances which had come to his immediate knowledge I of men who, ordinarily honest, failed in this particular.
 Referring to the common report that ] honest men could not succeed in busi- ness, he showed conclusively how only < by the strictest honesty could men \ hope to succeed in some lines of busi- mess, but how important that beside all ,, this we should be honest with God if we hope for His favor or reward The x speaker closed with an eloquent appeal sa to the young men to pay their VOWS iunto the Lord.

OBITUARY NOTES.
The Late o. IT. Barr.

Concerning the late O. H. Barr of Fair Haven the Hartford Courant's East Hartford correspondent says; MT. and Mrs. Barr formerly lived on Cover nor street, this town, and have many friends here. MT. Barr was an actor of great ability and had travelled with many of the large companies, but of late he had appeared exclusively with his daughter, Miss Edith Barr, in short sketches. Their last professional visit to this town was made about six months ago, when they appeared at the Raymond Library hall, where they gave very enjoyable entertainment.
