A PLANT BOUGHT.
Spinning Ring Co.,
Sold to Hopedale
Firm.
NO CHANGE MADE
Business to Be Continued
at Present Place on
North Foster St.

Absorption of leading industries goes
on apace, and the Draper company of
Hopedale, known all over the country,
now appears in the field as the pur-
chaser of the Worcester Spinning Ring
Company of this city, which has done
a most prosperous business, and has
been one of the leading concerns of its
kind in the country The purchase of
the Worcester company has been eff
fected within a few days, the Draper
company securing full possession of
the plant and the companys interests.
The Worcester Spinning Ring Com
pany was incorporated under the laws
of Massachusetts in 1896, with cap
ital stock of $4,000, and under the able
executive management of J. Walter
Smith, the president, it has made a
name for itself in the commercial world.
The business will be continued at its
present headquarters on North Foster
street, where it gives employment to a
large number of hands and through
the recent transaction the works will
probably be extended.

THE SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
Supt. Eddy Presents Some
Interesting Facts and
Figures.

At the meeting of the committee on
sewers, last evening, at the city hall,
the superintendent, Harrison P. Eddy,
presented a carefully prepared sketch
of the history of the sewerage system
of the city. He traced in detail the
system from it's beginning in the six
ties when Worcester had but popu-
lation of about 10000, when the sewer
age was taken care of by cesspools and
open bitches, when the drainage found
its way ultimately into the Mill brook
and Blackstone. The city was first
given permission to lay drains by the
legislature in 1867 He showed that
over 5000, 900 was expended in building
Millbrook sewer and that the city had
expended S. 300, 900 up to the year 1886
for its system of sewers. AS early as
1880 the towns along the Blackstone
river began to object to the pollution
of that stream with Worcester sew
age, and that complaints against the
city eliminated ultimately in a suit
against the city brought by the town
of Millbury AS a result of this suit,
various commissions and engineering
experts were called into consultation,
and as a result the estimated cost Of
the separation system advocated was
estimated at 1892 739. This construction
would require something over 80 miles
of new sewers.
Superintendent Eddy closed his
treatise by saying that it would be
readily seen that it is not question of
possibility in the publication of the
sewage but a question of practical
bility and necessity.

lar a day, and when he came here we
paid him so cents more per day. He
helped the moulders some, but did not
know anything about the trade. He
was induced to go out by the moulders
union, and if he comes back, why it
looks as though we would have to pay
him So per day, provided the union
wins it's strike"
Mr.. Davidson said that he will make
no attempt to run the shop until a
settlement is made, and that he
would close rather than yield at the
present time. The pickets have been
unable to get any line on the number
of men who have applied for positions
at the foundries, but yesterday while
The Spy man was in conversation with
Manager Davidson, two applicants were
turned down.
Mr.. Davidson said that he had re-
turned all the orders he had on hand,
and that the story circulated about
sending TASKS and patterns to a union
foundry was the Weirdest kind of a
dream.
Yesterday afternoon the pickets on
duty at Rice, Barton e. Fales' foundry
claim to have succeeded in reducing
the force of moulders at the foundry
to one lone Finlander, who has neither
experience nor fellow countrymen to
assist him. At the office of the firm it
was impossible to get a statement
Office officials said, however, that it was
evident that the firm expected a settle

are invited to consult Dr. R. " Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y, by letter, without fee or
charge of any kind. DR.. Pierce is
specialist in the diseases of women. He
has treated over half-a-inillion women
for diseases of the womanly organs and
ninety-eight out of every hundred women
he has treated have been absolutely and
perfectly cured. Every letter received
by DR.. Pierce, is treated as purely per-
sonal and private communication and its
contents guarded as sacred confidence.
All answers to these letters are sent in
sealed envelopes bearing upon them no
printing or advertising whatever.
Write to the doctor. 1t is no use for
sick women to write to man unless he
is doctor. 1t is no use to "write to
woman " unless the woman is doctor.
Write to a woman about cookery or any
branch of housekeeping, because she is
a woman and knows. But it is of no use
to write to woman about disease unless
she has doctors training and diploma.
A woman who isn't a doctor Is just as dam
gerOus as a man who isn't doctor, when
she undertakes to treat disease.
There is no qualified woman physician
so far as is known connected with any
proprietary medicine put up for women.
Even the "bearded woman," the man
who advertises "write to woman " is
not qualified physician and stands too
much in fear of the law to claim that he is.
There is no other physician, male or
female, who, like DR.. Pierce has a record
of over thirty years, as chief consulting
physician of well known institution,
making speciality of the private treat
ment of women's diseases.

SERIES OF RUNAWAYs.
Union Hill the Scene of Several excitr g
Flights of Speed.

A series of startling runaWays oc-
Cured in the vicinity of Union hill
Tuesday. Early in the morning a milk
cart owned by Walter e. Hyde of
Shrewsbury ran down Penn avenue and
knocked down the two-year-old son of
John A. Edwards of 80 Penn avenue.
The child was picked up and found to
be uniniured. The driver succeeded
in getting control of his horse before
he had gone a great distance.
A horse attached to a grocery team Of
the Adams and Morse firm was left
standing in the stable yard on Coral
street. The horse became frightened
at something and bolted down Coral
street. A youngster seated in the team
jumped and escaped injury. The horse
continued in it's mad flight down the
sharp incline of Coral street and en-
deavored 10 turn into Grafton street.
He slipped on the car tracks and fell
overturning the team. The horse was
put under control before he could arise
and found to be badly cut about the
forelegs. He was led back to the sta
BILE and will be on the reserved list
for a few days to come.
An unknown driver of Goddard
buggy stopped in Gilrein's saloon on
Grafton street to slake his thirst, and
forgot to hitch his horse. The animal
started up Grafton street at a spirited
clip and was not spotted until he had
reached to the top of the hill with the
carriage in a badly demolished state.

BREATH FROM THE WOODS.
Literature That Fills the sportsman's
Soul With Longing.

There is no more interesting and de-
lightful literature issued concerning
Maine and it's pleasures for tourists
and sportsmen than that sent out by
the Bangor and Aroostook railroad.
Last year the big game and fishing
guide" attracted much attention. The
little folders which are soon to be sent
out bring a breath of the forest. Spe-
cial attention is called to the new law
which allows one deer to be killed in
September for food purposes In con-
nection is printed a possible bill of
fare" to be had in camp during the
month. "The basis" the circular says,
"can easily be secured by the use Of
the rod and gun, and such material as
is not provided by nature in these re-
gions can be procured at the supply
stores, or farm houses, usually located
near the railroad station at point of
departure for the Wilderness Many Of
the guides are expert cooks and can
prepare any dish mentioned in first
