HYMNS SOUND
 WHERE GIRLS
 SERVED DRINKS

The City Mission. Bank street. which note rious resort. was formally dedicat- ed last night to the work of regenerat- ing the slums of Bridgeport. The project is backed by the Bridgeport Christian Union. At the close of the services those who desired to do so inspected the mission. Many were the changes that have taken place, all though the visitors were for the most part unconscious of them. Where girls in short skirts once served drinks that would burn holes through a copper stomach is now reading room, equip ped with the latest periodicals. In the north end of the reading room is 8 lunch counter where substantial re past will be served for 15 cents.
 The second floor Is devoted to neat 1y furnished rooms. which have been furnished by the church societies. The third floor contains a dorrnitory large enough for IA men, although it can be arranged to accommodate TO if de- sired.

ALDERMEN NOT WILLING
 TO GIVE UP WATER FRONT

No decision was reached last night by the special Aldermanic committee raised to enquire into the proposition of the Bridgeport Brass O. to build a wharf for the city at the city yard, if the city will consent to the flling g in of a slip between the city yard and the Housatonic avenue plant of the company
 The committee is composed of Alder men Brady, Paddock and OfConnell- Alderman Brady Is opposed to the proposition because he believes the time is coming when the city will need the frontage in the slip as much as that on the river front.
 Director of Public Works Kenny be- neves that the city should not only have 8 wharf at the city yard but should have one near Yellow Mill bridge and yet another in the West End for unloading stone and to save the city the expense of long hauls in carts. About $1. 500 was paid last year by the public works department for wharfage.
 There is about 43o feet of wharfage in the slip the Brass Co. wants to fill in and 142 feet in the wharf it desires to build
 The committee will meet again Thursday night.

AURoPHoNEs IN CHURCHES.

Not being able to hear the sermon is no longer legitimate excuse for
 vice. At last this threadbare apology carrie no weight at the Little
 Church Around the Corner, since the
 rector, the Rev.. George c. Houghton,
 has had aurophones installed in a number of pews and now telephones
 his sermons around the church.
 fpel preached by this up to date pastor-those who sit in the further
 most corner of the church, those who are hard of hearing and those who are quite deaf. There isn't any cran- Ing of necks and tiring of heads try ing to catch every motion of the meaning of his words, and members of the Church of the Transfiguration are of the opinion that that church is about as pleasant and comforta bIe g. place as can be found.
 The novel hearing apparatuses are quite inconspicuous and are fastened are easy to reach. They are small round discs of black rubber and are so thin that they can be held in the palm of the hand and thus placed against the ear. Each phone is con nected with the pulpit by a hidden wire, and when not in use it is hung the wires start from the pulpit, on which is placed a curious little ob- long receiver, hardly noticeable to the members of the congregation sit transnnitter network of wires radi- ates to all parts of the church, carry ing the speakers words with clear ness and distinctness.
 50 far only 8 few instruments have been installed. but they are be- coming more and more popular, and others will be put in whenever any. member signifies a desire for one. I did not realize how. much these at tachments would mean to regular churchgoers until a member of my congregation, a little deaf woman who. has been with us for years, told
 me the Sunday after the aurophones had been used that for the first time in thirty years she had heard all of the morning sermon. She was de- lighted with them. She has always sat in front and has depended on her eyes to aid in her understanding Of the sermon. Then there are others who sit in the back of the church and whose hearing facilities are not impaired, but who find it difficult to catch all the words on account of the acoustic properties of the church and the usual street noises. They well come the new instruments with great cordia1ity.'
 There are great possibilities in the Will the time ever come when a clergyman will sit in his comfortable arm chair in his study and by means of a new hearing ar preach his sermon to his flock scattered in all parts of the city? M. J. BuechIer, the jewe1er, is l agent for this aurophone.
