DAVIS ARRESTED

GUILFORD'S DEFAULTING TREAS URER CHARGED WITH THEFT OF ss.oOO. UNDER BONDS OF Ss,0Oo.

Grand Juror B. W. Bishop of Guil- ford. acting on complaint of Richard F. Wilcox. a farmer of that town. went to New Hcven yesterday. and through the law firm of Newton. Church & Hewitt. counsel for the town of Gull ford. obtained a warrant for the ar rest of former Treasurer George s Davis. who is said to have appropriat- ed much of the towns money during his long term of office there.

Davis be- ing Sick in bed at the time. It is returnable before Justice of the Peace Arthur H. Lombard there. The case count of the illness of the accused. Bonds of S3.Ooo were furnished by Ed ward F. Bishop & Sons of New Ha- ven and Guilford
 The case is a peculiar one, inasmuch as while 1t is felt in Guiford that Da- of the town. yet there Is the most kind ly feeling\ toward him there. because of, his uniform kindness to many poor people of the place during his long ca- reer as a general store keeper. The lfeeling in favor of Davis is well nigh universal. it is said.
 Prof. George F. Beers of Yale uni- versity will probably defend the man if his case. which is a Superior court offense, ever comes to trial. Davis friends there do not expect that he will recover from the nervous condi- ton into which he has been thrown by the trouble he is now encounter ing

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-12-08

The Farmer is inclined to regret that Postmaster Marigold has effaced him self from the race for the Republican nomin ation for Sheriff of this county. HIS candidacy would bring up sharply for decision the question whether Sheriff Hawley who seeks a renomina- tion and who supported Brandegee against Hil for U. s. Senator. accur- ately represented a preponderance of sentiment in his party. Though not the open manager of the Hill cam paign. Mir. Marigold was active: in fact. he has long been considered MT. Hil1's personal representative in this district
 The report that he would run against Hawley who at the end of his present term will have held the office for Is years. may have arisen from the known facts that he is persona non grats with both U- S. Senators from Connecticut; that. If renominated through MT. HiIPs Instance at the coming end of his terms they could. by senatorial courtesy. secure at least the shelving. of his name. and that he would then be only a hold over, a very precarious tenure of of flee. and also from the possibility that he would prefer a four-year office with an assured tenure and with very con- siderable emoluments.
 That he has withdrawn his name is the more to be regretted. for the req son that a decisive contest between him and Sheriff Hawley might exercise a quite material influence upon the 4wAf ing whether or not elective officers should pay some attention to the pre- ponderant Republican sentiment in the county. and whether or not they can safely defy 1t.

THE BEAUTIFUL FIGURE.

Nature intended every woman to
have a beautiful figure. 1t is the
chest. when it is in control of the
abdominal and waist muscles. the
carriage of the shoulders and the
poise of the head that give a woman
the power of personality. An erect
carriage is the first quality to be
sought and acquired. The body
must be held erect without stiffness.

vented from protruding and the chest
kept high. An inevitable result Of
the proper development of the chest
is the burying of the shoulder blades.
the prominence of which will spoil
any figure.
A woman who Is we'll groomed can
not afford to be careless of her ap.
pearance. She must dress so as to
bring out her good points. To do
this takes time. At least half an
hour is required for dressing in order
that she may present that
perfectly prepared appearance
which is the indescribable charm of
the well-groomed woman. Particular
attention must be paid to the finish
ing touches. Each hook and button
must be perfectly adjusted; her hair
must be as neat as possible, with no
struggling. ill-kempt locks flying
about, and her hands must defy criti-
