DROWNED WOMAN WAS -BARGEMAN'S
 WIFE; IS BELIEF
Find Coal Dust In Seams of Clothing on Body Discov-
 cred In Sound.

With her face covered with black and blue marks, possibly a victim of foul play a woman between 35 and 40 years of age with flowing red hair, lies in the morgue of Cullinan & Mullins on Main street awaiting iden- tifcation.
 She was picked up at 2:sO yester- day afternoon by John Drannans of 259 Eagle street, engaged in picking Island Sound. Drannan was scouting along the harbor side of the break wateE known as the t'Neck'' on the Steep1echase side of the entrance to the 5harbor when he came across the body of a woman floating face down ward about 25O feet from the shore of the island and headed for the rocks of the breakwater.
 Drannan towed the body to the foot of Seaview avenue and officials of the Valvoline Oil Go. notified Medical Ex- EaminersS. M, Garlick of the finding of the body. The medical examiner was soon on the spot and after a brief ex- animation he ordered the body re . moved to the morgue. No autopsy will be necessary.
 At the morgue only one good mark of identification was found upon the body. On the left side of her upper Irow of teeth the woman has only one tooth, al gold one. Her hair is long flowing and of auburn hue. She is about five feet four inches and weighs about 12e pounds. On the body were patent leather button shoes, black serge skirt white Stockings and a blue striped shirt
 According to Medical Examiner Garlick the woman has been in the water for more than five days. The clasps on her corset have rusted-A A, quantity of coal dust in seams of her clothing was discovered and this leads to the belief that the victim lived on a barge.
 When found by Drannan the body appeared to have been on the way out of the harber. It may have came in with the tide
 The body will be held at the morgue of CuIHnan 6. Mullins for three days awaiting identification an if not iden- tif1ed by that time will be inferred in Potter's field at the expense of the city. Medical Examiner Garlick so far is inclined to give as( his opinion of the case of death accidental drowning and in the meantime the police are Investigating the harbor front and all barges within to find if any bargewoman is missing from her hOaf 7

A CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAY
 IF CONSTIPATED
If peevish, feverish and sick,
 give California Syrup ], of Figs

Mother! Your child fsnst naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign it's little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once.
 When 1istless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- ach-ache, diarrhoea, rcm4mber, a gentle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given.
 Nothing equals "Ca1ifornia Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give a tea spoonful, and in few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is c1ogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a we'll and playful child again. All children love this harmless, deIciious fruit laxative,'' and it never fails to effect a good inside cleansing. tDi- rections for babies, children of all ages and. grown-ups are plainly on the bott1e.
 Keep it handy in your home A little given. today saves a sick child tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for 5O-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs then look and see that it is made by. the .'Ca1f- fornia Fig Syrup Company. Adv.

James C. Cropsey, district attorney of Brooklyn. N r., and formerly po- lice commissioner in New York city, addressed the Mems club of the Peo- ple,s Presbyterian church last night.
 h a. general speech he showed that police officials and prosecutors can do nothing in the way of enforcing laws unless the people are with them. There are many crimes on the stat ute books. according to the speaker placed upoA the books by corporation officials who have found certain acts ancdnvenient Because many of these lavzs are at least unpopular with the people the tasks of the police officials are made more arduous.
 In speaking of pol cer forces he sa1o that they are the backbone. and s1new of the community and that they should be- respected by the people and revered as friends by the children and mothers of the cofnmunity rather than heinz made the bugaboo of little ones who go through life believing that the policeman is the epitome Of all that is
 He toucheds lightly and Indirectly upon the belief that men with political putt money and influence are not prosecuted, referring slightly to the recent police and graft trials in New York and Brooklyn
 While speaking upon prison reforms, he declared that helwould not at this time take issue with the conduct of Warden Osborne, at Sing Sing, but he said that prison is a place of punish ment and that the convict should be made to work, if only that his health might be- preEeryetSs Jails should not be Ia place of pleasure and relaxation" :" he concluded

An Easy Way To Get
 Fat And Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless stflesh creams,1 or following some foolish physical culture stunt, untouched You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimf1ates the food you eat
 There is a preparation known. to re- liable druggists almost everywhere which seemingly ernbodfes the missing elements needed by the digestive or gans to help them convert food into treatment is called SargoI and has been termed the greatest of flesh builders Sargol aims through regen- erative, re-constructive powers to coax the stomach and intestines to literally soak up the fattening clements of your food and pass them into the blood, where they are carried to the starved, broken-down cells and tissues of your body You can readily pie ture what result this amazing trans formation should produce as with in- creased weight the cheeks fill out, holiows about neck, shoulders and bust disappear and from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh is added to the body. SargoI is absolutely harmless, Inexpensive, efficient. All leading druggists of this vicinity have are not satisfied, as per the guaran- tee found in every package.
 NOTE:-Sargol is recommended only as a flesh builder and while ex- ceIIent results in cases of nervous in digestion, etc, have been reported care shpuld<be taken about using it unless a gain of weight is desired.-Adv.

MUSIC LOVERS IN
 JOYOUS THR0NG AT BRILLIANT 0RAT0RIO
Samson and Delilah Render ed in Splendid Manner
 By Bridgeporters.

As opera the Samson and DeliIah of Camille Saint-Saens, lacked action. But as oratorio, t is filled with vigor and dramatic quality unusual in this lofty form of choral compost ton.
 The large audience which filled the armory last night was delighted by the interpretation given to Samson and Delilah, by the Bridgeport Ora torio society. directed by Dr. Arthur Mees.
 Pleasure was exhibited by the repcse of the audience, and by the abundant applause when opportunity afforded. The latter form of tribute, however. was less than it should have been, he- cause the movement of the music q not afford opportunity for the expres- sion of enthusiasm at the instant of it's creation.
 The orchestra passed from scene to scene, without halt, thus cripp1ing or restraining the fervor of those who listened.
 The only flaw. in the production WIS of such minor character as to te scarcely important, but it would haze been more pleasing had all the solois,s used the same translation.
 The chorus and the male sOloists used the words given to the audience but Miss Jordan, as DelQah, sang from a rendition almost <unrecognizable.
 Since about third ~e the audience follows the music aided by the words of the book, the illusion that attached to De1ilah's dialogue with Samson was in some degree destroyed
 Miss Jordan rendered the Wooing Song in a delightful way. This song is neither best in music or words oE the composition but it has popular qualities. which have endeared it to the public. and it is here that Miss Jordan received the most attention and the greatest approbation. Dan Beddoe, Marion Green and Gilbert Wilson were efficient aids MT. Bed- doe sang Samson with feeling and dramatic force. MT. wilson sang both Ambilech and the Old Hebrew accer~- ably. {
