WILL RETURN, TODAY.
Washington Mills at Lawrence Sees
End of Their Strike.

Lawrence. Mass. May 11.-After
about three weeks idleness, the strik-
ing weavers of the Washington mills
will return to work, tomorrow morning.
There is an entire absence of dissen-
ton as to the verdict arrived at by the
meeting, Saturday, when the terms of
the mill men were accepted. About
one sixth of those who struck have Sc
cured employment in other factories
About 700 weavers were out. April II,
but nine left their work in accordance
with a vote taken against the two-loom
system. The next Monday night, the
German weavers held separate meet
ing and decided TO ask for an increase
Of 20 per cent III wages and the aboii-
ton Of the premium system. This re-
quest was refused and a strike of all
the weavers, with the exception of
about Is. followed. They seemed con
fdent of victory over the corporation
until week ago, when many became
restless and returned. Then the arbi-
tration committee stepped in with the
effect that the settlement was made.
Saturday. The terms of the weavers
are denied.

FAIRFIELD.
WEAvERs' STRIKE coLLAPSEs.
Nearly All the Men Expected Back to
Work, Today.

The strike OF the WeaVers in the mill
of the American Wooden 90. here is
all over. the strikers not waiting to
play the limit. According to the ulti-
matum issued by the company the day
of grace would expire, this morning.
If the places in the mill were not filled
by the old men 1T that time they would
be filled at once by new men. Ac-
cording to the indications there will
be very few new men in the mill, this
morning.
A good bunch Of the men returned
to work, Friday, and they were drib-
bling back during the forenoon, Sat
urday. 1t was plain at that time that
he strike was broken and that it would
DE only Il question of Il short time
when it would be all over. But the
idea of going back singly and without
iormaiity was distasteful to some of
he men, 50 a vote was taken at noon
and those in favor of returning to work
were an overwhelming majority. Hence
it is expected that only a few of the
I'D men will be lacking, today.
The men went out on the strike,
Thursday morning, without much con-
;ideration of the matter or any spec
al grievance with the exception of the
claim that they ought to have more
money, as it costs more to live in
Fairfield than in some other places.
But a good many people lay the
cause of Il strike to another reason.
They say that it was simply the re-
suit of the work of the walking dele
gates representing the strikers in other
parts of New England. These dele
gates have been at work here, in Show
hegan and in Nassalboro. They are
good takers and succeeded in influ-
encing the weavers to go out. But the
thing was poorly planned and man.
aged and had little chance of success.
This certainly seems to be the most
plausible theory, for it would certain
~ seem that if the men had any real
grievance they would not have sub
mitted so easily. But whatever may
have been the cause of the strike has
''petered out and things will probably
be moving along as usual at the mill,
this morning.
The result of the trouble causes gen.
eral satisfaction in the town, for the
strikers have apparently not been
backed very heavily by public opinion
from the start The closing of the mill
would be a great injury to the town
at the present time.

Reminded of
An Old Fayorfte.

Nearly everybody has read Doctor
Holmes poem on The Wonderful One
Hoss Shay which, as you will re-
mem lber, was so well built that when
it went to pieces it went to pieces all
at once, as If at had been to the mill
and ground.
L was reminded of that poem when
Mr.. j. b. Emerton, a well-known citi-
zen and business man of Auburn,
Maine, told me, about a year ago, that
he had then recently suffered from a
complication of troubles, although he
mad previously been a well man.
He had been suddenly afflicted, ac-
cording to his own statement, with
dyspepsia complicated with liver and
kidney ailments, and you know where
there are such ailments there are bill
iousness, constipation, backache, and
what not. But he had suffered chiefly
from dyspepsia.
He had had severe pains in his
stomach, which grew worse and became
so bad he did not feel like doing any
thing except caring for himself.
And yet when saw him last spring,
which was not long after he had been
so afflicted, he was in the best of
health; and he told me that as soon as
he made up his mind that he had dys-
pepsia and that his liver and kidneys
needed stimulating and toning, he
began taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
that it proved to be just what was
needed for 1T cured him.
This did not surprise me, because l
knew what Hoods Sarsaparilla had
done for others likewise or similarly
afflicted. It gives strength and ac-
tivity to the stomach, liver and kidneys,
and has an unequaled record of per-
manent cures of dyspepsia and liver
and kidney complaints.
1t acts on all the vital organs through
the blood, which it cleanses and makes
rich and abundant, and is the medi-
cine, as Mr.. Emerton says, that not
only relieves and cures, but makes
one strong and hearty. All druggists.

WaterviIle, II; Gardiner, z.

A good-sized crowd and an enthusi-
astic one gathered at Quimby field,
saturday afternoon and ShiVered i'll the
cold wind that was blowing during the
ball game that was pla yed between
Waterville High and Gardiner High.
The weather conditions were very I'M
favorable and the rough condition of
the field united in making the game one
in which neither team could be judged
fairly. The WatervilIe boys came down
on the $50 train and went directly to
the field where. after a short prelimi-
nary practice the game began with
Waterville at the bat. They started
right away to enlarge the score and be-
fore the required three men were put
out, two runs were to their credit The
GARDENERS secured one score in their
half.
III the scond inning the Waterville's
failed to score and the Gardiner boys
tied the score by one man crossing
home plate. Gardiner shut out their
opponents in the third and scored twice
in their half. The third was an unlucky
one for the Gardeners as Kane was hit
hard in this inning and eight more
scores went down on the Watervilla
one run in their turn and when put out
they again shut out the Watervilles
and scored another run in the fifth.
In the sixth q pretty double play by
Turner and Messenger put out two of
the Waterville runners and only one
WaterNille man scored. Gardiner could
not score ard the total score stood II to
in Waterville's favor. In the seventh
