WARNING TO AUT0ISTS
Supreme Court Judge Gives an Impor-
 tant Opinion.

Supreme Court Judge Gives an Impor-
 tant Opinion.
 Judge Hall of the Supreme Court in an opinion last week said:
 While owners of automobiles have the right to drive them upon public streets, yet the proper protection of the equal rights of all to use the high ways necessarily requires the adoption of different regulations for the different methods of such use; and what may be 0 safe rate of speed at which to ride 6 bicycle or drive horse may be an uR- reasonably rapid rate at which to drive an automobile in the same place. For the reasons stated and others which might be given, driving of an automo- bile at 8 high rate of speed through streets at times when and places where other vehicles are constantly passing and men, women and children are liable to be crossing; around corners at the in tersection of streets. or in other similar places and situations where people are liable to fail to observe an approaching automobile, is in itself actionable negli. gence. One operating an automobile under such circumstances is bound to take notice of the peculiar danger of collisions in such places. He cannot se- cure immunity from liability by merely sounding his automobile horn. He must run his car only at such speed as will enable him to timely stop it to avoid collisions. If he fails to do so, he is re- sponsible for the damage he thereby causes"

END OF A ROMANCE
Armenia Girl is Suing Sheffield Man for
 Divorce.

Armenia Girl is Suing Sheffield Man for
 Divorce.
 A romantic runaway marriage of not quite five years ago is apparently to end in the divorce court at Hartford, Conn ', in the suit of Miss Helen Marie Crippen against Homer Frank Crippen, of New Britain, Conn, says the Pittsfield Eagle
 Homer Crippen some five or six year s ago hailed from the little town of Shef- field, Mass, and although he didn't have much monay he had good looks and the health of youth and not many maiden looked uIon him without just fiutter in the region of thier hearts. Crippen took uI some studies at the Hotchkiss school in Lakeville, Conn.,, and he used to go to and fro from Sheffield on the trains. The Fry family. of Armenia, N. Y, in the warm weather of those days camped at Twin Lakes, and the three or four daughters were more or less on the trains and in Lakeville.
 Not to go into details Crippen and Helen Fry lell in love, and not being able to get the consent of the girls wealthy father, Benjamin Fry, who had foundry interests in Waterbury as well as hardware business in Armenia, the young lovers ran away and were mar ried, April 28, 1904. 1t was some time before they secured parental forgiveness and they lived for a time in Lakeville, Crippen doing canvassing business.
 They ultimately moved to New Brit ain, where domestic hapiness has evi- dently not lowered over their home for in her suit for divorce Mrs. Crippen al- leges intolerable cruelty on the part of her husband dating from the time of their wedding. She asks for the custody of minor child and has had an attach ment for $10,oO0 served on Crippen and asks alimony.
 MT. Crippen lives in New Britain and has been employed for about two years at the Corbin Motor works as an assemb- Ter of mo tors.

PLAIN GRADUATION COSTUMES

Principal of New Britain School Makes
 Sensible Suggestion.
 Principal W. O. Akers of the New Britain High School called the senior class together last week and gave the members talk on the graduation exer- cises to be held in June. He furnished the class some good sensible advice. which will appeal strongly to the fathers and mothers who have to foot the bills. Principal Akers said the class was no doubt looking forward and already be ginning to plan for graduation. He wished to ask them to think carefully on the subject and limit the expenditures as far as possible. He suggested to the girls that instead of ordering several dresses for the different functions they get together and see if they could adopt some simple dress all could wear which would do for all graduation week. He suggested that it. be as simple as possl- ble so as to save expense. If they all adopt some white gown, it would ai- ways be pretty, comparatively simple and serviceable for future use. The students were favorably impressed with the remarks and it is believed the class of 1909 will have the credit of inaugural. ing the reform.

CONNECTICUT SCHOOLS
Some Recommendations in Governor
 LilIey's Message.

LilieYs Message.
 In his first message Governor Lilley took occasion to make reference to tEe school system of Connecticut What he said may not receive approval ill some quarters but what he said is true.
 "Connecticut's pubic school system," said he Eff such it can be called-for it IS as unsystematic as it could we'll be-is defective and preventive of the best educational results. The local licensing of teachers, a practice that has continued from the earliest times, in many of onr towns, has resulted in the of many incompetent in- structors. The inevitable result has fol- lowed. They are held in such poor re- spect that the wages they are paid are shamefully low, and a standard of pay has thus been established that has shut out teachers of ability. There should be a state law requiring every new teacher who is employed after fixed early date to pass an examination set by state ex- amining board. A small, compact com munity such as Connecticut is, ought to have & school system that should be a model of it's kind. You can do the state no greater service than by devoting your intelligene efforts to betterment of our public schools, and ask that you give earnest attention to the report of the special commission on this subject.

THE HILLCREST RECORD

Hospital is Attracting Attention From
 Wide Section of Country.
 Hillcrest Surgical Hospital at Pitts field. Mass. which was started eighr months ago by Dr. 0. H. Richardson and who is still the chief operating sur geon, although it is now a pubho insti- tuition, has enjoyed more suooeas and fame in the short time since it's establish ment than almost any other hospital in the country. It is already so we'll known and the character of the work done there of SO high grade that patients not only go there for advice, treatment and operations from local towns but from cities much larger than Pittsheld and cities in other states as well. The reason is probably that as only this one class of work is done there, everyone i'm of their particular line of work and none, but graduate trained nurses arc used fn' the hospital. The hospital proper only has thirtv-Six rooms but from the "Berk- shire Evening Eagle" we learn there have been SS2 operations performed i'm the hospital in eight months. "The Eagle also states that an additional building of sixteen rooms is in course of erection which will be soon completed Even with the fifty-two rooms 1t win not be long before more room will be needed for everyone from this section who has been there speaks in the very highest terms of the care aud treatment they receive, and the reasonable charges for the same"
