LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAN NO. Iz,733l
eI am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to woman than all the doctors ia the
world. For years l had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
1 became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with inflammation and hemorhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
II underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. / went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone l felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
'sThe first remark that greets me
now is How much better you looSr and
you may be sure / never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health. "-MRs. E. ].

New York, July 1.-THE strike situ-
alton in Brooklyn tonight remains I'M
changed. The striking employees are
even more determined than they were
yesterday. and the management Of the
Rapid Transit lines is obdurate and I'M
flinching. Cars were run on most of
the lines controlled by the traction
company from early morning until 7
o'clock this evening, but after shutdown
there was a considerable falling off in
the service, and by o'clock not a car
was moving on any Of the lines affect
ed by the strike of motormen and con-
ductors.
The roads comprising the Nassau
system were most effectively crippled.
None of the striking employees re-
turned to work, and most Of them were
busy during the day influencing union
and non-Hnion men on the other lines
to quit work.
At 7 o'clock this evening President
Rossiter issued instructions to shut
down on all the Traction company's
lines, and from that hour until long af-
ter midnight not a car was run.
Chief Devery spent the greaEsk part
of the afternoon in Brooklyn. When
asked for his opinion of the strike and
its probable outcome, Chief Devery
said: This strike should never have
occurred. The men will surely lose

STUBBORN FIGHTS.
Action on Street Sprinkling Question De.
clared to BE Illegal by Alderman
O'Connell = Telephone Petition
Placed in Hands of Special
Committee

Last nights meeting of the alder
tmanic branch of the city council will
90 down as the hottest session in the
history of the board of 1899. There is
to be another meeting next Monday
night, however, and there is posi-
bility that more fireworks will be
Forthcoming.
The old question of the city entering
into a five-year contract for street
sprinkling, with the American Car
Sprinkling Company which has been
such fruitful subject for debate all
through the year, was taken from the
table last night and amended; after
one of the most stubborn fights imsg-
inable, was adopted. The democrats
voted as one m In in opposition to the
order. The republicans held together
equally we'll and won the fight.
Aldermen O'Connell and Barrett led
the battle for their side of the house,
and as a result of their objections,
brought on one of the most stubborn
ly-contested fights of the year. Alder
man OConnell appealed from the de-
cision of the chair, time after time,
and at the close of his argument be-
fore the final vote was taken, made the
Extraordinary statement that he be-
lieved the action of the body illegal,
and that if the mayor attempted to
make the contract in question, any
citizen who chose to do so, could pre-
vent 1t by taking the matter to the
courts Even If the contract is made,
he doubts if the sprinkling company
Gould collect one dollar, from the fact
that the action Of the upper board is
Illegal He considered that a greater
part of the actions of the board were
Illegal and had been throughout the
year, if the rules of the board were to
govern its action.

night, when Alderman O'Connen in

more explicit than the original, which
was referred to the special committee

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

There were a number of interesting
features in connection with last nights
session. Principal however, was the
argument of the street sprinkling con-
tract. Alderman Wall started the fun
by making a motion that the report of
the committee on streets relative to
this matter be taken from the table,
suggesting that he desired to make an
amendment to the original order.
alderman O'Connell advanced vigor-
ouB objection. He did not think the
matter lad been considered fairly. The
city council had asked for information
which had never been given. In his es-
fimation the city should water it's
streets as much as 1t should contruct
them. The motion was finally carried
to take the report from the table by a
vote of to 3.
Alderman Wall then read his amend
nent. Alderman OConnell raised a
point of order, and as result recess
was declared, during which the city
NQlIcitor and his assistant, the mayor
md members OF the street committee,
cnnsidered the question. The result Of
the conference being that the alder
mans point was considered well taken
and a new amendment prepared.
Alderman Barrett then raised q point
that the order as submitted came under
The head of new business, and under
the rules, could not pass without fur

consent. He objected to its passage
az this time. Alderman O'Connell con-
tended that the report was out of order,
