The meanest thief reported for some months at polieo headquarters is being sought today by policemen and detec tives, and it is believed that should he learn of his own baseness he will be inspired to make restitution. "While away from home yesterday afternoon attempting to eke. out sup port for her family of soven children, the youngest three months old, the home of Mrs. Edward Johnson in Beardsley street, in which she had been established but two days, was forcibly entered and $2 in money and a watch valued at $15 were taken from a trunk which had to be pried open. While to most persons this loss would not be considerable, to this wid ow who less than- a month ago lost her husband, a painter who fell from a scaffold at the Electric Cable Com pany, the theft of even $2 will be feit. j ffjWP- p 1 If FATHER SEES TRAIN CRUSH HIS BABY GIRL Newtown, April 25 Aurelia, the two year old daughter of Mr.' and Mrs. Edgar F. Northrop of North Newtown was struck by the engine of the train on the Highland division, a little be fore .noon yesterday, receiving injur ies which resulted in her death an hour and a half latter. She was struck " " me ncau ii nil snouiaens. Dumped along the track and then thrown to one side, the -wheels fortunately not passing over' her body. Telephone messages to the Center and to Daij bury soon brought Doctor Kiernan of Sandy Hook and Dr. Brown of Dan bury, but nothing could be done, the physicians wondering she lived so long, after a hasty examination of the child's body was made by them. The news of the tragedy was a shock to every home in the town, and the dis tracted parents have the sympathy of every one. Mr. Northrop, besides being- a far mer with his home near the depot, acts as agent at the station which is only a flag station, and it is his, duty to come to the platform whenever a train ie due. All the morning he had been working- in his yard and his lit tle toddler had been engaged with her dolls, -alternately . with him and with her mother in the house busy with household affairs. When he reached the platform, he saw the smoke of the onrushing train, and down the track about one hundred yards away he saw the figure of his child rush ing towards him. Horrified he rush ed In the direction, waving- his arms, but speechless. Too late to avert the danger or save the life of his only child. The blow has crushed him, and today a the funeral his grief was pit iable to behold, and his wife's tribu lation borders on despair. The child' was the pe of the neighborhood and during the funeral services not a dry eye could be seen among the large concourse of neighbors and friends at tending. She was named for a grand aunt, who has never seen her, but singular to relate had sent the par ents a letter that day received that she waa coming this week to see her little namesake . for the first time. A telegram was sent at once to the rela tive of the death of her protege, and doubtless there was grief in another household and pain in another heart today, when the news of the fatality was received. To the townspeople, the news, of the deplorable affair came as a distinct horror and - every family in town feels it to be a personal loss, and their hearts go out to the be reaved parents. -, Mrs. Frederick Leiee and Mrs. Mar garet Jordan of the Glen Jointly gave the -whist scheduled for this week's entertainment of .St. Rose's social cir cle at the home of Mrs. Leiss last ev ening. About one hundred were pres ent. Sixteen tables were placed for the game while music for dancing furnish ed by Arthur Gallagher delighted those not specially interested in whist and gave opportunity to everyone to en joy one of the most successful events given thus far. Winners at whist were ladies first, hand embroidered pin cushion. Miss Mary Harrigan; la dies second, fancy apron, Mrs.- Dan iel Keane; consolajtion,: bag- of peanuts, Miss Margaret Blake; gentlemen's 1st pair of armlets Daniel Honan; gentle men's second, umbrella', cover, -William Cbstello; consolation, bottle of catsup, James McConvllle.

We opened our Men's Clothing Store at 1042 .Main Street, a little over a year ago. During the past year we have added a Custom Tailor Department to this,our regular line, and have been selling both ready made and customed tailored clothes for men. Both of these departments have out grown our present quarters. Our present business necessitates expansion. Our present location has been very satisfactory to us and we haA'e decided not to change, but to branch out in a larger way and open our Custom Tailor Depart ment in a larger store. In looking around for this location, our attention was call ed to the: ground floor in the . new Poli Building with entrance on Congress Street, and we decided that this would be an ideal location for our Custom .Tailor Department, because it is out of the high rent section and we believe that men are willing to go a few steps out of the way to take advantage of the low prices which we are offering for high class custom made clothes. Made to Yoiir Measure in Our Own jailor Shops This suit of clothes we give as careful attention in the fitting as we would on an order for a much more expensive garment. We know that if we can please men in the little things that they will come to us for the better class of apparel. This $15 suit is a high grade product of our own shop, made right here in Bridgeport, under our personal supervision and we unhesitatingly guaranteee a perfect fit and thoroughly satisfactory wear Other Suits "Ranging- in Prices From $15 to $50 The $15 suit is by no means a "leader," we have found in our experience that $15 is about the price men want to pay for a business suit, and we are giving extraordinary values in suits all the way up to $50, and guar antee a saving of considerable money on any suit purchased of us. Your patronage is earnestly solicited. An examination of our samples welcomed. We know you will find the prices under those ordinarily charged in custom tailored shops.
