Gabrielle was the last person seen
with it. 1t was then too late to take
further steps. and madame, overfa-
tigued and nervous, became hysterical
and was borne to bed crying that her
establishment was ruined, that a theft
had been committed, that her custom
ers would lose their confidence in her
and that she could never face them
again.
But she awakened on Easter morning
with her senses restored and with a
we'll formed resolution in her mind.
Since Gabrielle was the last person
seen with the hat, no doubt the care
less girl had slowed it away some
where and forgotten to mention it. She
would go to the French quarter and
was. There would still be time to get
1t and send it to Miss Lambert before
she, was ready for church.
Little did Gabrielle, who was making
her simple toilet and adjusting her
beautiful hat on her sunny hair, dream
of the fate which was descending upon
her. She paused a minute when she
heard a we'll known voice in the front
room addressing her mother impera-
lively in French.

dame sprang from her seat as she en-

"She has the hat! All, you wretched

you expect to wear it and get off and
not be detected? Give me my hat"
She snatched the hat from the head
of the astounded girl.

lice and send you to Jail. If it were
not for the disgrace to my establish

Politicians Looking For Posi-.
 iioDs in Coming Assembly.

As was intimated in the Democrat yesterday that such a political state of affairs as only one republican being on deck when two jobs were 10 be given away was well nigh impos- slble, and this turns out to be the situation. Not only is Frank D. Pagan on deck for the post of mes senger in the senate in the coming general assembly but there are oth- CTS out for the only other position that may fall to Waterbury. dor keeper in the lower house. There is Constable William J. Rigney, who says there is not another man in the republican party who has a better claim to the job than he has. And there is Edward Lawlor, 323 North Main street, who formerly lived on East Hawkins street, and lastly there is veteran of the trouble of '64 whose name is yet secret He has the backing of Representative A. l. Goodrich, but whether his pOlitica strength goes any further is not known. He claims the job because he wears the bronze medal of the Grand Army of the Republic.

POLICE QUARTERS
Move BsIog Made 10 Establish
 Bathroom For Officers.

The safety board Is pursuing the even tenor of its way, so that noth- ing is being left undone to keep the police department mp to date A move has already been made tow ards establishing large bath room for the benefit of the men, but 1t is doubtful If this plan can be carried out until some changes have been made which will give the police de- partment more room. It Is also thought desirable to have matron on hand all the time, but like the bath room, this is also held back for lack of suitable quarters. It was said to-day that portion of the city hall stage could be converted into suitable bath room and that there is no reason in the world why a portion of the city court room cannot be added to the polio
 partment headquarters and theI leave lots of room for the court. Probably this could be done, but f there be any truth in the statement that in the event of new court house being built the city will be offered the present Leavenworth street court house for about $25, ,O0O it might pay to buy it at that figure and turn 1t over to the police de- partment and the police court. Something will have to be done be- fore long to provide more room no matter what it costs. The city hall is pretty well crowded now and while the offices in that building are being cleaned it would be a good thing to fix the roof so that the paint ing and other work now going on will not be ruined as soon as we have a good shower of rain. All the ofilces in the upstairs part of the an- mex are poorly lighted and the ven tilation is miserable. One window IS not sufficient for any office and It LOOKS strange to see the health authorities and the tuberculosis peo- Die crowded into such places. The health authorities should set an eX. ample and refuse to occupy such quarters. They tell us how neces- sary it is to have plenty of fresh air and all the sunshine possible but they do not practice what they preach. No doubt they would prefer better offices, but now being able tc get them they try and reconcile themselves to the situation, just the same as the police officials, the town clerk, the assessors and others have scarcely room enough to turn around without stepping on each others | tOeS

DENTISTS REPORT.
The Standard in This State is Being
 Raised.

Raised
 New Haven, Dec 30.-The bien- nial report of the state dental com mission to September 30, 1908, is sued to-day, in the form of a twenty. four page booklet. gives much inter esting information about the work of the commission and shows that the standard of, dentists in Connecti- cut is being raised to very high dc gree.
 Four examinations of candidates have been held by the commission in the last two years. November ', $ and 9, 1906, thirteen candidates re- ceived licenses; June 13, 14 and 15 1907, twenty candidates received !i- censes; November of that year, four teen, and June of this year, twenty three were admitted to the practice of dentistry.
 Under the head of prosecutions the report states that the commis. sion will do all in it's power to SC. cure proper convictions for violations of the dental laws of the state. A. tention is called to the fact that li- censed dentists are requested to "e- port any violations of the laws tc the commissioners or county health officers.

FOX TO HIS CRITICS.
He Says That Many Stories Are Abso-
 lutelv False.

New Haven, Dec 30.-George L. Fox says that many of the stories that have been circulated in the pub lie prints concerning his connection with the corrupt practices act and the election court were made out of whole cloth and are absolutely ridi- culOus.
 That l ever held any conference with Allan w. Paige, resulting in va rious amendments to the law as orig inally proposed by me, is a pure fab rication. MT Paige and l have not talked five minutes on the whole matter. The bill as proposed by me was really altered during the legis- lative fight, and not at the hearings Of the committee. l did take part in the committee hearings, but while the legislative debate over the corrupt practices act was taking place, and various amendments to the law as originally proposed were being made, l was in London, England. So the story that l consented to any of these amendments to the law as originally proposed is absolutely false" said MT Fox.
 Il will admit, as l have frequently done" continued MT Fox, that it was an oversight on my part not to have given some attention to that constitutional limitation which makes the legislature and board of state officers the final arbiters, re- spectively, of contests for seats in the state legislature and other state of fees. But the law itself is not as senseless or faulty as certain inter- ested parties would make out. Stiles Judson, in fact. has praised the law repeatedly, as has Charles Hopkins Clark of the Courant. MT Clark, in fact, went over the bill in it's present form when he was one of a commits sion of five to pass upon the matter in 1907, and he not only approved the measure, but proposed still great CT additions to it. I shall probably have something to say on this matter in court" concluded Mr Fox. Tt is not fair that l or the law should be misrepresented as some people are trying to do. do not desire to en- gage in any controversy in the news papers over these matters. and have avoided, as far as possible, doing so, but it is not right that such stories and misrepresentations should go un- challenged,
