SHIELDING GURNEY.
The Schermerhorns Now Want to Take the Blame.

Lenox, Mass, Oct 4.-J. E. Schermer- horn of New York says that his son, Amos Schermerhorn, was the driver of British Secretary Hugh Gurney's auto mobile on September 25 when MT Cur ney was charged with violating the Stockbrddge speed ordinance. MT Schermerhorn also said that Deputy Sheriff Noble, who made the arrest, was having ride in the automobile when he appraised the automobiles that they were exceeding the speed limit.
 MT Schermerhorn gave out the infor- nation yesterday i'll recognition, as he said, of the gallantry of Secretary Cur ney in accepting the entire responsible ity in the matter His two sons, he said, both of whom are familiar With automobiles, were being entertained by Mir Gurney, who personally does not care for fast driving but was per- mitting the boys to test his machine. As they were rolling along the high way at good speed, about half mile from Stockbridge Officer Noble stopped them with the information that they were breaking the speed statute. He asked who the owner was and MT Cur ney replied that he was. The officer said it would be necessary for them 10 proceed to Stockbridge and MT Gurney invited him to ride along with them.
 On the way to the town Noble pulled out his watch and said that they were again going faster than the law allowed. Mir Gurney expressed re- gret if the law had been violated and when informed that the deputy must take the names of those responsible, presented his card The party drove to the court house, where the neces- sary arrangements were made for Mir Gurney's appearance the next morning.

HEARST'S PLAIN TALK.
New York Editor Issues Address to
 Democratic Clubs.

New York, Oct 4.--WilLiam Ran- dolph Hearst, president of the Nation al Association of Democratic Clubs, has issued an address to that associa- ton, urging upon its members special activity and untiring energy from now until the closing of the polls." MT Hearst's address says in part:
 There are special reasons why the democrats of the United States should assert themselves and work energet- fcally in this campaign.
 First and foremost there is the per- manent duty before us alive must restore the government of this country to the hands of the people for whom and by whom the government was created.
 AS democrats we are interested especially In repudiating and disprov- ing by earnest, sincere work the charges made against us.
 "The president of the United States, in his formal letter of acceptance, calls all democrats hypocrites and time servers. He says that they are com, pelled to improvise their convictions, and that 1t is no wonder they forget their convictions over night.
 'The democratic platform says: We denounce protection as a robbery of the many to enrich the few,' and dem ocrats mean exactly what the platform says. They know that through protec- tion the trusts rob the public, work ingmen and business men alike. And democrats, if elected, will find a way to pull away from the trusts their pro tecting cloak-the tariff.
 "These, with heartily pledged SUD- port of the Monroe doctrine, demand that the service of the old soldiers be fairly and generously recognized, and a vigorous protest against the attempt of President Roosevelt to stir up race hatred as m engine of political ad- vancement, constitute the main fea- lures of the latest democratic plat form, worded to meet the especial, con- ditions and emergencies of the day"
 s'We democrats hold now, as we did 100 years ago, to the doctrine of equal rights for all and special privileges for none; while MT Roosevelt's party and Mir Roosevelt, with every appointment in his gift bestowed on some trust puppet, hold to the doctrine of special favor for those who can and will pay"

BULLDOG BIT GIRL;

A big bulldog owned by Daniel Murphy of Pemberton street attacked a child last night belonging to one Of the neighbors and sank it's teeth into the side of her head. inflicting an ugly wound which required sevcrai stitches.

It would be blessing if several other vicious Drutes about town got similar doan. Inere are streets in Waterbury where IL IS positively dangerous to travel en foot or in teams on account of fhe conduct of dogs whose owners sppoa X, to take special delight in watching them worry people on the public ways.

Next Thursday morning the machin- cry in the Lathrop vs Lathrop case will be started again. Judge Burpee and Attorney O'Neill will go to New York to take dispositions for MT La throp's side of the contention, Mr O'Neill representing Mrs Lathrop. All the dispositions taken so far for Mrs Tathrop tended to show that she was unusually economical and quite frugal, and that in fact she could hardly be otherwise on account of the allowance made her by her husband. The trend of the dispositions to be taken Thurs day will be that MT Lathrop was quite Liberal and that In fact he had to notify number of dry goods houses to not trust his wife beyond certain amount
