livened the consideration Of the Army

terday by attacking the DUPONT Pow
der Company as a trust He declar-
ed II was getting more money out

Much unadultsrited nonsense has
been written concerning the symbolism
Of Navajo Indian blankets and the
poetry. legend. tradition and history
woven by the squaw into its fabric.
It is true that some designs have a
symbolic meaning. but Hopi. Zuni and
Apache symbols are used quite as free
ly as those peculiar 10 the Navajos.
The Navajo squaw is Que OF the least
imaginative aud least poetical OF hu.

that even when symbolic designs are
employed in blanket weaving It is
without the remotest reference to their

REPORTED THE WEDDING.

The Dramatic Critic Got the Job and ss Did the Best He Could.
 In the absence of the regular society reporter the dramatic critic of the Daily Doings was detailed to cover a wedding. .'I'H do the best I can,' he said, but I feel sure I Shall make a mess of it.
 This is what he turned in, emitting the preliminary remarks about the size of the house and the delay in begin ming the performance:
 t'Mr. Barker, in the role of the bride groom, acted the part in stiff yet listless manner. He has a good stage presence, but mars the effect by to- tai lack of animation and an almost inaudible voice. Miss Perkins, as the bride, was much more effective. Her costume was bewildering, yet true to life. If one may venture to criticfse, her effort to overcome her obvious stage fright was trifie too evident. She was in good voice, however, and her enunciatqp was clear and distinct.
 t'It must be pointed out that both Miss Perkins and MT. Barker were de- f1cient in their lines and had to be prompted almost constantly by the Rev. Henry Harper, who, as the off, ciadng clergyman, was decidedly the star of the performance.s-Ne York Press E.

THE FREMsTAD CONCERT.

Madame Fremstad, who is to appear here in concert in the near future, is a commanding figure in the musical world today. She is an artist who has fought her way by hard, persis- tent study and has gained the reputa- tion of being the greatest dramatic soprano in the world. Perhaps her ner's two great masterpieces, The Cn- fortunate Isolde, and the beautiful, penitent Kundry in that divine opera Parsifal
 The most exacting critics have been lavish in their praise of her perfect artistic rendition of those two great roles, and she stands today high in the zenith of her career.
 Madame Fremstad's has been a won in a small Western town she gradually came to prominence as a church and oratorio singer well known in New York and surrounding cities as tall ented and beautiful woman Her life work begun seriously, however, when she went to Germany to devote herself to the study of grand opera-and that she has succeeded no one can doubt None of her contemporaries possess greater motive power or deeper spirit ual insight into the depth and mean ing of her roles than does Madame F'remstad.
 Bridgeport should be proud to well come Madame Fremstad and her as sistant artist, Alwyn Schroeder, 'cel- list. The date set for the concert is Monday evening, Oct. T, at the Park Theatre.

MINOR CHANGES IN POLICE ORDERED BY
 COMMISSIONERS
Part of Expert RusseI's Recon mendations Adopted =
 Others May Follow

Though the subject of much criti- cism am ong the rank and file or the police department. the recommenda- tions outlined in Captain J. H. Rus sells recent report are to be carried into. efrect-at least the minor sug- gestions are to be given a trial. This fact became generally known after the meeting of the police commis- sioners Saturday night when the fol- lowing rules and measures were adopted:
 'aThat caps be worn at all times. instead of helmets; that sergeants wear white silk cord on the outside seam of their trousers; that the com man ding officer of the detective de- parTment keep a book known as an arrest book in which must be record ed the pedigree of all persons taken before the department; that he also keep a folder containing the papers of each com plaiIlt and all complaints posed of and recorded; that he also keep an index card system and file an accurate account and estimate of all property stolen.''
 At each of the stations a new sys- tenn of arrest book will be kept and the old time slate must go. The new book will be so made up that it will go into all of the arrests in much more detail than now, and will follow the ease up until it's final disposition A telephone blotter shall be kept at the stations. which shall keep the record of telephonic communfca tions into the department.
 It has been intimated from an au- thoritative source that the comnis- sion is in favor of recognizing in de- tail the departmental changes out lined by Captain Russell, although Common Council approval must be secured in some instances. Commis- sioner George s. Hill is engaged In preparing a full schedule of the changes contemplated which will probably not be announced until the next meeting of the commission. It is believed that requests for amend ments to the police ordinances will then be made.
