Society Mans Model
 Dairy Farm Failure

The attempt of Wilber Brooks Smith, local society man, to finance model dairy farm in Sport Hill did not prove a sterling success, accord ing to testimony in the superior court this morning where the suit brought by Leonard Bol against the gentleman farmer was heard before Judge Ben- nett and jury. Bol, who acted as a superintendent of the farm, said he did not receive pay for his work and he seeks $3,500 damages. Smith denies BoIs claims for services. He has filed a counter claim for $1,0O0.
 Bol testified that in September, 1914 Smith engaged him, saying he intend ed to spend $1O,00O or $20,000 on the Sport Hill place and needed some body to take charge of the farm Eighty cows were sent to the farm and 10000 chickens. Bol went ahead to make needed improvements on the farm.
 In addition to his own services he hired number of men, paid them out of his own pocket and also paid for supplies. He said during the first year of his service he received only $500 from Smith. In 1915 Smith re- turned from a trip to California and told Bol he didn't care to bother with the farm any more. Bol wanted to know what he would do about the money he had spent. He alleges Smith replied Do whatever you think best.'
 The hearing was resumed this after noon.

.sNREAM OF GERONTIUS" WILL RE GIVEN HERE BY
 SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

With the full New York symphony orchestra of 50 pieces, better known as the Walter DamrOsch orchestra,
 "The Dream of GerOntius," by Edward Elgar, which the Bridgeport Oratorio society has been studying for several months under Dr. Arthur Mees' direc- tion, will be sung = the State street Casino, Tuesday evening, Feb. 27. The announcement of the OratorlO society has caused no little interest on the part of hundreds of music-1overs in the city, and the fact that, as far as is known, the opera has never been pro- duced in this country before has served to increase this interest.
 Sir Edward Elgar, who set the opera to music, is one of the worlds greatest composers living. The work is based on Cardinal Newman's celebrated
 poem. Cardinal Newman is probably best known as the writer of the hymn,

 here before and achieved a notable success Merlin Davies, the famous Welsh tenor, will be the tenor soloist, while Heinrich Meyn will be the bass. Included among the instruments of the Damrosch, or New York orchestra, will be the beautiful harp. The Ora toriO society has presented concerts in Bridgeport annually which have held the interest of music lovers and eX-
 perts of the East, and is expected to add further to it's renown on Feb. 27 The chorus has been most carefully trained under Dr. Mees, while the so- loists are among the finest to be found
 in the concert field.
 Miss Jordan, the contralto, was for merly with the Century Opera com
 pany. She has steadily added to her laurels concert programs and no
 doubt will be given a big ovation on her reappearance here. The work of
 "The Dream of Gerontius'' is divided A1nto two parts. Elgar's setting of the

 Every mother owes it to the suffer ing child, to relieve it with "Winslows S Soothing Syrup It does the trick you can see the little one brace up with the first dose, where before pain and tears, now smiles and good nature.

Christian Union
 Houses More Than
 23,OO0 a Year

The distress of 161,745 persons has been alleviated since the Bridgeport : Christian Union, at "A Bank street, first opened it's doors seven years ago, according to the seventh annual re- port of the institution, just. issued by the Rev. Charles w. Simpson it's su- perintendent.
 Of this number 82,036 have been furnished protection from the ele- .ments, and a place to sleep; odd jobs and other employment have been se- cured for 19,957; clothing has been i supplied to >12,288- The wherewith- ! al with which to sustain life has been furnished 246,565.
 The religious services have guided { many footsteps back into the straight and narrow path. Many who were 1 virtual soutcasts of society and grovel- i ing in the slough of despond a short time ago are now members of Bridge ports churches.
 With the means and facilities at its disposal, it is argued, the Union is do- ing a wonderful work in Bridgeport but. handicapped to a large extent in it's desire to expand and exert an even wider influence it's efforts have neces- sarily to be curtailed and it is com : pSlcO, dI ClHlSS, u luTA away ap- plicants.
 The present quarters are cramp- ed. The institution needs an ade- quate fumigating plant, more and larger dormitories, bathing facilities a reading and rest room. restaurant and ample room for the prosecution of industrial work. Individual rooms for those of the men the Union is succOring who are able and willing to pay for such privacy, are also need ed
 These dreams those who are inter- ested in fhe Union expect to see real ized when the funds necessary to erect modern four-story and basement building are in hanc. The site for the new home of the Union has al- ready been bought.
 The building will cost in the neigh borhood of $100,000; the furniture and furnishings $15,000. The sum of s10,- 900 is needed to pay off a mortgage on the site for the proposed new building, and $10,00O for two years maintenance.

 I've are gathered then to commem- crate the life of Abraham Lincoln and to mourn the tragedy of his death,
 ITO pay our simple tribute to this great captain, this wise( counsellor, to this man of vision and foresight, up holding the right with unwavering purpose, confident in the darkest hour, resolute and unafraid, surround ed by horrors of war, yet always mer- ciful and compassionate and just.
 ''To express our appreciation of this man who gave to us the continued ex- istence of our Union and our grati- tude for the memory of his justice and tenderness, the impelling infiuence of which did more than all else to bind up the wounds and assuage the bit terness of that terrible conflict.
 ..This is as it should be, appro- priate and heartfelt
 s.Yet also and more perhaps in the view of the great crisis which con- fronts our country, are we gathered here to-day, to ,drAw inspiration and strength of purpose from the life of this man.
 s.We are here to make known our love of the country for which he died.
 gro pledge our allegiance. to, our President, our government and our fellow country men.
 ssWe are here to offer to our coun- try in case that war should come, our services unreservedly and in unstint- ed measure, even unto death.
 'sIet this flag which we have now ,1nfrr1ed to be the outward visible sign of our pledge-the emblem of our unfailing devotion to our country which is standing as it has always stood for justice and freedom and the rights of all mankind"
