ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
Judge Promises Jail
 For Weapon Carriers

''I hope the police will continue to frisk' men in barrooms, who are sua- pected of carrying loaded revolvers and lock them up if they are found with guns on their persons In the future I shall impose no more sus- pended sentences for this offense but shall send the offenders to jail"
 After three men had been arraign- ed before him in the city court this morning charged with carrying con cealed weapons Judge Frank Wilder made the statement from the bench. The practice of carrying guns in this city among certain classes, has be- come a menace to public safety tho police assert. P

ORATORIO SOCIETY
 OFFERING PLEASES
 THR0NG AT CASINO

The winter concert of Bridgeport Oratorio Society, which rendered The Dream of Gerontius," at the Casino, last night, before crowded house, was in every way a success. With several seasons of experience behind it, and, the aid of much in- dustrious work in the present season, this difficult and very modern ora- torio was rendered after a manner which entities the society to a leading rank among the great choral organ izations of the country
 The performance could be given in New York, without in the feast losing it's quality by comparison with the work done by the New York socie- ties.
 pr. Arthur Mees was at his best as conductor, and must have been thoroughly pleased with the results brought about by his indefatigable efforts, and the industry of his chor- us
 The lack of sustained simple nelo- dies in the oratorio made it difficult for those not familiar with the most modern music to appreciate the earlier part of the work. But as the chorus warmed to it's theme. and the audience became accustomed to the numerous motifs of Sir Edward FL gar's score. it came to full and en- thusiastic understanding of the deep concord between the lofty language of the poem, and the inspired charac- ter of the music.
