TWO TALENTED POLES TO

musicians had the pleasure Of hearing
a distinguished pianist, who had also
won high rank as a composer, play
his own compositions He appeared
as soloist with the New York Phil
harmonic, that wonderful aggrega-
ton of artists-in concert in Car
negie hall in February, 1915, in a
program made up of his own compo-

composer to do, but Stojowski the
talented Pole. knew his own merit and
fully justified himself, for every one
was delighted, and he received warm
encomiums from the leading critics
of the musical world. Now he, with
a countryman, Thaddeus Wronski, a
young baritone who has met with
signal success in grand opera and on
the concert stage, is giving series Of
concerts for the benefit of the Polish

CONSOLIDATED ROLLING STOCK
co, HISTORIC CONCERN, NOW {
ABOUT TO SUSPEND ACTIVITIES

After 80 years history in the rail-
reading of New England, and the
payment of nearly two million dollars
in dividends to it's stockholders the
march of progress has caused the
natural death of the Consolidated
Rolling Stock Co, which is now to
be legally dissolved.
Notification has been sent out by its
directors, Daniel N. Morgan, Charles
G. Sanford. Stiles q. Goodsell, f. N.
Benham, Jr., and B. S. Johnson that
the directors and stockholders have
decided upon dissolution to have the
remaining properties held by the COM
pany and that all claims must be pre-
sented on or before Feb. IS, 1917, to
insure their payment.
Modern Bridgeport knows little of
the Consolidated Rolling Stock Co.,
or it's founder, the late John Hurd.
though at one time both founder and
corporation had a most spectacular
career and upon their favor, backed
by eight millions of dollars capital
stock, the New York and New Eng
land, Boston & Maine, and Housaton-
ic railroads were able to make the
showing in receipts which eventually
consolidated them into the great sys-
tenn known as the New York. New
Haven & Hartford railroad.
At q time when New England and
western railroads were land poor
and unable to get sufficient cars to
carry their frefghts. the Consolidated
Rolling Stock Co., with its enormous
capital, built and operated as many
as 5000 freight cars. On these cars
they commanded an average price of
three cents per mile, which with the
increase of railroad prosperity de-
clined until of late one-half a cent
per mile was averaged. With the
enlargement Of car-building plants
and the increase of raw material
price it was found Improbable to
build more cars and at the recent

No matter how urgent the call Of duty
may be, he takes it upon himself to
throw down his pen, shut up his ledger
and HE off to the race track if. he
takes a notion. Daddy would call him
strictly to account if he dared, but the
boy has his mother and the whole
family at his back. Mother would far
rather take a tongue flashing herself
than to- have it administered to the
darling of her heart.
| AS for the girls, they are a law unto
themselves. They want a large house,
fine clothes, an automobile and SER
wants. His wife tells him coldly that
he should have expected he'd have all
these things to do when he became a
daddy. He cannot enjoy his porch on
a hot night. Every inch of space Is
occupied by young girls and young
chaps. He is told that he shouldn't
want to sit Oh the porch and interfere
with their young company.
II his son goes off for q weeks hike
with companions and telegraphs him
for money, he cannot administer to
him a good sound lecture on hoeing
his own road and roughing it, because

today that the company in reality
was existent as far back as 1888 un-

New England Rolling Stock Co., large
interests in each of these companies
being held. by John Hurd and former
President Hotchkiss of the Pequon-

The love as deep as Heaven is high:
