Mrs. Chas. Freitoy, Moosup, Conn, says: II have taken two bot ties of Burdock Blood Bitters and am feeling better than ever did in my life. For many years suffered with severe sick headaches and general debility. Lost all ambition and went about my duties in an ainless manner. Had a tired, worn. cut feeling all the time, but before I had taken half a bottle of B. B. B., felt relieved and am now feeling like new woman
 Mrs. A. ". Ham, Cambridge, Me, says: .'I was in poor health for long time. was unable to be around or attend to my work, was troubled with constipation, neural gia and poor appetite, in fact, every trouble that attends a rundown condition of the system, and have taken two bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters and the Pills. The first dose set the machinery of life to work, and can say never took any medicine that gave such immediate relief and set me gaining, for which I am truly thankful. ''

Tom Tucker, at one time the great est first baseman in the country, will make his first appearances in this Eicini- ty since his release from the Brooklyn club in game between the South Brother Island Field club and the Senecas on Sunday. Tucker will cap tain the Senecas, who have been strengthened by seven members of the New London team of the Connecticut State league.-New York Telegraph.
 One of the warmest games of ball played in Waterville in a long time will be fought out Sunday, when the Eagles and the Lafayettes put their best players in the field to gain fame. Both hines have won some very fine and hotly fought contests and every player is putting up lots of the real stuff on the outcome of this contest as it not only means victory but the championship of the city goes with it. A delegate from each of these teams called at the Democrat office last night and placed five dollars each in the hands of a representative of the paper, as pledge that they mean business. It will no doubt be a game worth going some distance to witness, as the ar engagements of the game has been hang ing fire for long time. and will surely draw out one of the largest crowds that ever visited Waterville.

People talk of being all run down, overworked, out of sorts generally.
 Nine times out of ten it is the blood that is out of order. The blood is the life of the system, you know. lift becomes thin or lacking i'll strength the sys- ltem naturally suffers and with Ia weakened system disease finds an easy mark.
 Burdock Blood Bitters is one ofnature's remedies. A purely vegetable compound. It is a blood maker; it strengthens and builds the system; drives out the disease by removing the cause.

Great Brttain sweltering.

LONDON, July 19- Great Britain has had DO such weather as this before in II years. The temperature was 98 in the shade yesterday at Southsea and Billin- borough, Lincolnshire Lower tempera- lures were recorded at other points, but the official maximum was 8S. The torrid sun caused the asphalt to soften and the tar in wood paving to bubble. The num- Der of deaths and sunstrokes has not been reckoned up, but these and the at tempts at suicide in consequence of the heat are described as numerous The meteorological office announces that there are no signs of a change, and Londoners are dismayed at the prospect of another roasting day, with little ice and few all leyiations of the subtropical heat. The hot wave is quite general on the conti- nent.

 Bridge port, July 19.-Rain knocked Bridgeport out Of a possible victory yesterday. The opposing team was Waterbury under new management and with new faces. Three innings were played and the score was to l in Bridgeport's favor when rain stopped play. After waiting for half an hour without letup, Umpire Cauli- flower called the game. It looked as though Bridgeport would win, for the team was hitting Clancy freely and fairly we'll, while DOugherty had the visitors measure, although little wild The visitors appeared strange without the familiar faces of Roger Connor and Pete Kiernan. They will have some new men when next they appear.

TABLE OF PERCENTAGES

The following notes are from the Bridgeport Telegram:
 Waterbury was full of life, but there were some changes.
 Pete Kiernan was on the grounds, but not in uniform. He is in search of job.
 The Waterbury team was hardly rec ogniZable without Roger Connor or Kiernan. It is new crowd all around.
 And so Former Manager Connor goes to New Haven to play first base. Canavan will now take care of second.
 With Connor on Canavan's team that crowd will be strengthened materially in batting. The old man is very apt to hit harder than ever with no cares and worries to fret him.
 The first effect of Connor's presence on the New Haven team was to break that Derby hoodo. Yesterday Denny's men were beaten. 1t is true the game was only five innings, but it was enough.
 With New Haven breaking the Der by hoodoo there is good reason to be- Heve Bridgeport will smash the one that hoyers over the team when it runs up against New Haven. Connor will be there and the boys will think they are up against Waterbury.
 Captain Fitzpatrick was just as tricky as ever. It is diamond cut diamond when he and Captain Rogers run up against each other. Both men will turn a sharp trick as quick as a wink when the umpire is not looking. They learned them together when on that famous Danbury team with Mick ey Delaney. Dorsey and others. FfJZy tried it on Rogers yesterday, but was caught red-handed, and both had a good laugh.

FAST RACE RECORD.
Cresceus Shows a Wonderful Burst of
 M Snead


 Speed
 Detroit, Mich, July 19.-Cresceus, the chestnut stallion owned and driven by George H. Ketcham of Toledo, won the free-for-all trot on the Detroit Driving clubs tracks, at Crosse, Pointe, yesterday afternoon, and in cidentally trotted the fastest heat and won the fastest race record ever made. Charlie Herr. the brown stallion owned by David Cahill of Lexington, Ky, and driven by Kelley, was the only opponent in the race, and he was a poor second.
 CresceuS won the first heat by five lengths, in 2:06%, breaking the racing record for this year on any track, and in the second heat he led by anywhere from five to ten lengths and finished easily in 2:5 flat, breaking the world s racing record. I This announcement by Starting Judge Barnard was received with tumultuous huzzahs. The sun was setting just as Cresceus skipped under the wire.
 Cresceus drew the pole for the first heat of the free-for-all, and the word was given as the scored down for the second time. Both were going steady as clocks. Creseeus drew ahead of Charley Herr until, as thew flashed by the quarter, the brown horse was three lengths behind. With skip Cresceus increased his lead until it was five lengths at the wire. The Toledo horse was greeted with great applause as his grooms led him to the paddock af- ter the heat.
 The pair was sent off to a splendid start for the second heat. and Ketcham immediately began putting daylight between his sullzy and Charley Herr's nose. The breeze had practically died out, and all conditions were perfect for a record breaking performance. The quarter and half were each a quarter of second slower than in the previous heat, but at the three-quarters Cresceus was half second under the preceding heat.
 Then came the fastest quarter of the afternoon. Turning up the stretch and trotting like a machine the chestnut went the distance in 30 seconds fiat. When Ketcham dismounted from his sulky he was congratulated on every hand by those in the judges stand and about the track As Cresceus was led back to his stable he was greeted with cheers from all parts of the crowded grand stand.

 at Pan-American.
 BUFFALO, July 19.-Ohio day will 70 down in Pan-American records as one of the biggest days at the exposition. It will be memorial in several ways, chiefly because of the many distinguished men lnd the multitude of representative citi- sens that Ohio sent here to celebrate for aer. It is doubtful if the Buckeye State ever on any other occasion received the applause and praise which were shower ed upon her at the exercises held in the Temple of Music, and it is certain that 10 finer praise has been bestowed upon he exposition management.
 Promptly at Il o'clock Governor Nash with his party, under escort of the Eighth Ohio regiment. arrived at the Lincoln parkway gate and entered the grounds on foot President Milburn was with the governor Senator Hanna walked beside J. N. Adam, chairman of the committee on state and foreign representatives.
 The Building was filled. The aisles and the galleries were crowded The appearance of Governor Nash set the Ohio people cheering. Senator Foraker, to the great disappointment of many. did not come.
 Except during the ceremonies at the Temple of Music the Ohio building was the center hub around which everything Pan-American revolyed. It is an at tractive building. Its position and en- vironments make it charming hub.
 Pure white, the Ohio building stands out from among the other structures in the court devoted to state and foreign edifices. It is 100 by 80 feet in extent, with a 20 foot colonnade running all around it and adding materially to the ground space that it covers. Its style of architecture Is Greek.
 On the ground floor are located offices of the Ohio commission, both public and private There are also ladies reception room, furnished handsomely with es- pecially made oak furniture. and gen tlemen's writing room, equally complete In appointments and rich in hangings. The assembly room, so by 80 feet, will accommodate 200 persona.

4 GAIN FOR STRIKERS
Looks Like Complete Tie Up
 For Steel Hoop Mills.
lMALGAMATED MISSIONARIES SENT.
Attempt of the Steel Trust to Reopen the McKeesport Plant the Only Cloud In SiEht--The EIonessen
 MiII still Running.

PITTSBURG, July 19.-Most iinpor- tant of all news regarding the steel work ers' strike that reached Pittsburg is the action of the men employed in the Dun cansville plant of f,the American Steel Hoop company. A telegram was received by President Shaffer from the men yes terday morning asking if they should strike The message was a surprise for the Amalgamated people, as they were not looking for this news so soon. Presl- dent Shaffer answered, telling the men not to come out unless they were organ ized. If organized, they should strike, for they were needed.
 In the afternoon another telegram was received from Duncansville asking that an organizer be sent to them at once. In compliance with this request Vice Presi- dent John Pierce started for Duncans- vile to complete the organization.
 The Duncansville plant is the last of the hoop plants to remain at work, and the Amalgamated association officials say if they are successful in closing this plant they will be masters of the situation as far as the Steel Hoop company is con cerned at least.
 No report has been received as yet from the organizers who went to Vandergrift to do missionary work at the big plant at that point. It may be- Several days before definite reports will follow.
 The situation throughout this district remains practically unchanged. In the immediate vicinity of Pittsburg the eyi- dent intention of the company to attempt the reopening of the Dewees Wood plant at McKeesport is the only incident so far calculated to cause uneasiness.
 The present center of the troubles seems to be at Wellsyille, O., where q public mass meeting was held for the purpose Of presenting both sides of the! controversy to the men and citizens gen. orally. The entire district contributed attendants at the meeting, and a num- Der of speeches were made, the principal one being that of President Shaffer of the Amalgamated association. Another meeting win be held today.
 A dispatch from Monessen says: s'In spite of all efforts to the contrary the tin mill here is still running at full and ns far as present appearances indicate it promises not to be affected in the slight est by the strike. The 800 employees are satisfied with the voluntary advance made by the combine and will continue to work along nonunion lines"

SCRANTON, Pa, July 1o.-The exec utiye board of district No 1 of the United Mine Workers of America, in special session here, adopted resolution provid- ing that all stationary frenen, members of the Mine Workers organization, who have quit work because of the strike of the International Association of Station ary Bremen shall be ordered back to work at once by District President Nich- oils. Many of these men had already de serted to join theiE trades organization. The action clearly defines the position of the United Mine Workers and, emphasizes the decision of Monday that there will be no sympathetic strike ordered The situa- ton at the idle mines is practically un- changed. azs as4S

 Fitzpatrick played snappy game for Waterbury. His lay-off has not hurt his playing any and he will strengthen the Waterbury team great ly.-New Haven Leader. S
 There have been five tie games in the National league this season, as fol lows: New York Cincinnati New York Pittsburg. Brooklyn-Cincinnat Bos- ton-Cincinnati and Cincinnati-St Louis
 In justice to Landlord Esinhart of the Earle house it should be stated that Weisbecker, the Waterbury base ball player was not robbed at hls hotel but at Weisbecker's rooms on Center street.
 When the New Haven team appears here on Monday there will be found familiar figure on the New Haven first base. Roger Connor, who for years has made this city his base ball town, will be found doing his best 10 defeat his own place of birth. All the loyal. fans should give him welcome.
 Waterbury is talking about having Sunday base ball. We suggest that Waterbury should first learn to play the game on week days.-Hartford Post. And this from the city whose nine could not beat one of the State league teamsl Some people thrive on their nerve, and we suspect Hartford has nine of base ball players that are painfully afflicted that way.
 Where are all those umpires who were appointed to officiate in this leaguef We would like to call the attention of Secretary O'Rourke to the fact that there is still an umpire in this city who was recommended to the sec retary by Manager Connor. He can get to work right away and this league would not suffer from umpires who do not know their business if a staff was selected right here in the state.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-Adolph Strecker, a barber of this city, at the shooting of the third national bundles festival completed score that has never been equaled in. the United States on the ring target and which will doubtless give Strecker the liking" prize. Out of POO shots he has made the record of 3S0 points, breaking the, highest score by 22 points of King Hayes, made three years ago. +. C.
