Gave A Fine Concert

That the concert given by the
Boston Opera Co. at The Colonial
Tuesday evening of last week was
in it's entirety the best thing of the
kind ever heard here seems to be
the universal verdict. The program
of selections from the best grand
operas was long one but the artists
responded quite generously to en-
cores. The audience was much
smaller than it should have been
and consisted for a greater proper
ton than one would expect of out
of-town people but it is doubtful if
people generally supposed that an
entertainment of such a high grade
could be expected in a town no larg-
er than this. Where every singer is
an artist and the music which he
gives ranks among the classics it
would be an unfortunate surely
who could find fault or criticize.

HHN. 6. M. BROWN ATTACKS VICE IN
 THE HIGH PLACES
Assaults on Dives Are Futile, He Says, While Disease FaStens Itself On City
 As a Whole.

Rev. George M. Brown, pastor of The First NJ. E. church, whose series of sermons on '"The City Perils,'' is at tracting considerable attention, han dled the social conditions of the city fin his sermon of last evening, and said that the attack on houses. of eommercialized vice were not the rem edy, for the real seat of vice is in high places. These places, he said, were the sores that come to the sur face. but the disease lies deeper.
 He took as his text, Except the Lord Keepeth the City, the Watch man Waketil but in Vain He .delv- ed into history to show that moral Integrity is an essential, for the well Being and preservation of city or state Here are a few extracts from his sermon:
 !, The real danger of the modern city may be in the indifference of it's sciti ZenS as to it's moral conditions. The =Iet-alone' policy or T do not care attitude, of the average and often in duentia1s and intelligent voter is of fen responsible. The man who cares not for the moral welfare of the city, but discounts it, counts this very tthing,-the thousands of indifferent men, who by their indifference help him to secure his own selfish ends. An awakened public conscience is needed.
 If we should give you the names of the men who have been seen to go into these places-or the numbers on the automobiles that sometimes finger near them, there would be more than one domestic earthqu in the city tomorrow, morning,
 If we should give. the names and numb bers of young men and women seen to come out of places not far from here at almost all hours of the night in an apparently intoxicated Condition, you would know that water street and Housatonic avenue do not harbor the worst perils of Bridgeport. The high toned places are where syourg girls are entieed to lives of shame and young men get their first Hntroductfon to vice. The low down dives are where they end their ca- reer''
