Albany, N. Y, May 2O.-The great
street railway strike, lasting IL days, re.
quiring the presence of 5000 members Of
the National Guard in the city, costing
the lives of two prominent merchants and
entailing an expense to the county OF
Albany of over $4,000, is amicably set

A Brutal Murder.

sand frantic white people surrounded
the fragile little lookup in the town hall.
Behind the cell bars were William
Fairfax and his wife, "Black El," both
colored, who had just murdered William
Moore, assistant yardmaster in the Balti-
more & Ohio yards. Early this evening,
when the streets were crowded with the
Saturday night throngs, William Moore
and Baggagemaster Johnston of the Fair
mount branch train were attacked by the
negroes as they turned into an alleyway
from Main street going toward the rear
entrance to the Hotel Atlas. Moore was
struck with brick on the head and fell
Quick as flash the negro Fairfax leaned
down over the PROSTATE victim, jerked his
watch from his pocket, took his money
from his clothing and then took the un-
conscious body in his arms and hurled it
over stone wall, distance of 80 feet.
Moore was not dead when he was hurled
from the wall, but the fall broke his neck
and he died instantly.
The murder was right in the heart
OF the city. When a crowd from Main
street pressed upon the negroes, they ran
down the alley, but the wife, throwing
stones and bricks, held the crowd until
three policemen rushed in upon her and
captured her and Fairfax little later.

WEARY WOMEN
Throughout the Land Many Are
Shaving Over the Needle
and Wearing Them
selves Out.
From the Maine Farmet, augusta.

+, There are many women all over the
land who are earning a living by the
use of the needle. Confinement In
close rooms and the trying nature OF
their work often causes them to grow
pale and wan and to experience feel
ing of constant WEAKNESS. This goes
on, sometimes, until nature rebels and
health breaks down. There is one
way and only one way to restore the
impaired vitality, and that is to
strengthen the worn out nerves and
build up and nourish the impoverish-
ed blood. If the blood is kept healthy
and rich and the nerves strong, new
life and energy will soon be felt.
This was the experience of Mrs. Addie
R. Holt, a dressmaker, of No. 70
Bridge street, Augusta, Me. She
says:
"About five years ago I began to
experience worn out feeling. Some
times would lie in bed for day or
so, but my dressmaking work obliged
me to keep up, even when / did not
feel able to be about. I suffered from
female troubles and last spring had
rheumatism in my left arm and also a
pain in my left side in the region of
my heart.

mending them to all who say that
anything ails them"
