ALL RUN DOWN

. Mrs. Chas. Freitoy, Moosup, Conn. says: 1T have taken two bot ties of Burdock Blood Bitters and am feeling better than ever did in my life. For many years I suffered with severe sick headaches and general debility. Lost all ambition and went about my duties in an ain1less manner. Had a tired, worn. out feeling all the time, but before I had taken half bottle of B. B. B., felt relieved and am now feeling like a new woman."
 Mrs. A. w. Ham, Cambridge, Me, says: 1T 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 am truly thankful. 1"

Young Fenn Breaks Another Indoor
 Record


 A great Improvement in the track at Madison Square Garden was made evident last night by the establish ment of two new records and by only three falls in which no one was hurt. The records made were an indoor mark of 1 minute 57 2-5 seconds for competi- tion, by w. $. Fenn, and a worlds rec ord indoor and outdoor of 5S seconds, by Frank Kramer in the fourth heat of the half mile championship.
 Kramer won the championship race, and by so doing put himself in first place by so much of a lead that "Ma- jor'' Taylor will have to win this af- ternoon at Manhattan Beach and then capture the ''extra point" race at Buff falo next week in order to keep his title as champion of the N. c. A.
 ''Major" Taylor was not on hand and all looked eagerly for grand duel be- tween Lawson and Kramer but they were doomed to disappointment, for in the second heat when he was pitted against Caldwell, Jenkins and New house, Lawson and practically sleft at toe clip when the starting signal SOuuuCu ttHu ue WCAI Olliy us ldE lEOIll the tape as the impetus of his push off carried him before he stopped and quit.
 In the first semi-fnals Cooper and Newhouse shut out Gascoyne and Jen- kins. In the second semi-fnal Kramer and Fisher was disqualified for fouling Fenn and forcing him to run high upon the bank in turn. Second place was given to Fenn, who finished third and Fisher was dropped out along with C0llett, who finished fourth.

The men who run the trolley cars in
 Bridgeport were given an extra charge of electricity before they left that vil- lage yesterday and were told to go up to Waterbury and wipe up the diamond
 with the kings of the cars in Water
 bury, or they could expect electrocu- tion when they returned. Perhaps ere this some of them have been brought before the judges down in Bridgeport
 and have received their sentences.
 They not only failed to wipe up the
 diamond with the Waterbury lads but
 they themselves were so badly used up
 that they were glad to escape with the
 many colored uniforms that Egraeed
 their manly forms. 1t was an interest
 ing game even though all the trolley
 magnates from down the road, includ-
 ing Carrier, Tomlinson and others were
 here to see the downfall of the Water
 bury trolleyites. They had plenty of
 the good United States greenbacks, too.
 when they arrived at the field, but they were short several of the long ones when the last man had been retired by Waterbury. They had nerve and lots of it to bet on that conglomeration of players. even though several of them
 were ringers. 1t was easy to tell that they were ringers for several times
 during the game their right names
 would come out unexpectedly. For in- stance q chap named Scott was put in to pitch the last five innings. His right name was Nichols and he pitched
 the other day for Bridgeport, of the State league. The ringers did not faze Waterbury. however. for they could
 have beaten the Bridgeport State league team yesterday.
 The game was an interesting one at that but the visitors were outclassed,
 both in the field and at the bat. Man
 ager Wales had been preparing for this game and he had dieted the play CTS until they looked as slick as two
 year-olds Slavin had taken on flesh during the massage treatment and his work on first base would make Roger | Connor green with envy. Bennedetti, evidently had not trained sufficiently l for he had a sprinting matinee which lasted for several minutes and when it
 closed three of the Bridgeports were
 total wrecks, and Benny during the
 rest of game took several draughts of |
 he had loaned to the disabled enemy. Carolan was thinking of the St Jos eDh-s excursion and he hit the ball as far toward the Bridgeport Sound as
 was possible. Keavney lost the ball at
 one stage of the game and it was the prettiest curve that was thrown on | the grounds. It helped the Bridgeports wonderfully but Bill tickled himself that no one else even attempted such a throw. Mclean broke the training ! table and that was why he looked so ! Iank and lean. There was percepti- | ble movement of the earth when he | tried to steal base and all the Bridge porters huddled together for a flying wedge when he approached. Nothing l could stop him not even the second base for he kept on to center field. Hayden wanted to eat the pitcher and

esting statements regarded from the

Gloh, s CORRESPONDENT.
"Lcong ki Chu asserts that tho enn-
Icror of china ia he real head of the
reform movement which numbers be-
tween thirty and forty millions, in
Guiding most of the Chinese educated
classes. Funds are plentiful. and en-
dcavors are being made to arouse the
sympathies of the civilized world with
the cause Of Chinese constitutional
reform Could the Chinese emperor
be rescued from captivity by the all
lies the war would speedily collapse;
at any rate, in th" southern and mid
die portions of the empire. Isl Chu
maintains that the only means of
bringing the empress dowager to rea-
son is for the allies actively to sup
rort the reform party. This would
lead to the release of the emperor and
his return TO pckn. where the con-
ditions of peace could be speedily ar
ranged. 1t is not improbable THAI

for the purpose of memorialiZing the

cause OF the Chinese reformers as the

OH a sound and durable basis
The writer adds that the great de-
sire of the Chinese in Australia is to
behold their native country formed
into a. kind of mi-commonwealth,
with the emperor as head for life. In
China the educated classes have be-
come much impressed with the rapid
advance Of Japan, and are eager not
only to follow the example of that
country. but also to form IA defensive
and offensive alliance with it. OF the
people who are crowding Leong ri
Chus meetings the correspondent
writes that lit must not he forgotten
that the leading Chinese residents In
Australia are a we'll Informed class.
They regularly read the sydney. Mel

intimate knowledge of what is going
