CONTROL YoNKERs TRACK.
The Majority stockholders Bought
Out Minority.

New York, March 2S.-Negotiations
were completed today by which the ma
Jority of the stockholders of the En-
plre City Trotting club, which owns the
empire track at Yonkers, bought out
the minority. alt has been known for
some time that there was a difference
OF opinion, and the ultimate result is
entirely harmonious to all concerned.
Alfred Reeves. the secretary Of the
Empire City Trotting club said:
The gentlemen who have sold their
interest in the track are Hugh J. Grant.
G. K. G. Billings. Frederick Gerken and
Henry Morganthau. The interests were
bought by six mem bers, toWit: James
Butler. Charles Q. Lloyd. Edgar Bronx,
Peter Mcdonnell. S F Paul and Thos
J. Brady. Brayton Ives continues with
his original interests and was not
participant in the buying out of the
minority stockholders. Although the
price paid is not made public it was
stated that the four gentlemen received
an amount equal to their original in
vestment, together with interest from
the date they became interested in the
track.
The difference of opinion arose over
the matter of increasing the capital
stock at the Empire City Trotting club
which was originally only $1,000. At a,
meeting last month Charles c. Lloyd
offered a resolution TO increase the cap
ital stock of the Empire City Trotting
CLUB TO So1o,uU0. Although agreeable %
the increase. Nessrs. Billings, Grant
and Gerken, who were at the meeting
wanted instead to have land corpora
ton, with. capital stock of $545,000, and
to continue the Empire City Trotting
club with its $1,000 capital stock. The
majority voted, however. to have the
trotting itself the main factor, and this
evidently caused a little friction, which
resulted in today's sale of stock. There
are now seven stockholders in the cor
poration, which viii conduct the En-

UNABLE TO WALK
INSPECTOR JORDAN CRIPPLED WITH
INFLAMMAT0RY RHEUMATISM.
A City Omciai of Lynn, Mass, Tells How
lie was Cured by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills.

There is scarcely a city or village from
the Atlantic to the Pacific which has
not it's quota of rheumatic cripples.
That much of their suffering and in
convenience is unnecessary is proven by
the fact that specific has been found
for rheumatism III all its forms, II rem
edy that has cured extremely stubborn
cases. The statement of u recent cure
should give encouragement to the most
hopeless sufferer.
Charles F. Jordan, of No. New
Chatham street, Lynn, Mass, inspector
of sewer construction i'll that city for
many years, was for a long time afflicted
with in1ammatory rheumatism in his
feet, which made him unable to walk.
1T is hardly necessary to say that my
condition was extremely painful" he
says. "The rheumatism settled in the
joints and made me helpless so far as
walking was concerned. The skin be-
came very tender and sore and suffered
agonies every time had an attack.
My sister-in- law advised me to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and l took them with the best results.
They also had beneficial effect upon
my general health. l might add that
my daughter-in law is taking this rem
edy for paralysis of the face and finds
that the pills are helping her greatly"
Rheumatism has been treated in
widely different ways even in quite re-
cent times and ignorant superstition has
furnished many so-called charms" to
ward off the disease. Most people now
know that to cure rheumatism it must
be treated through the blood and to pre-
vent the disease the blood must be kept
pure. External applications such as oils
and liniments, while they may relieve
and soothe the pain, have no more power
to permanently cure rheumatism than a
horse-chestnut carried in the pocket has
to prevent it.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
have powerful effect i'll combating the
poisons in the blood which cause rheu-
matism. This is the secret of the
miraculous success of these pills in curing
many severe disorders of the blood and
nerves which do not yield to ordinary
medicines. DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People may be obtained at all drug
gists, or direct from DIR. Williams Med
icine Company, Schenectady, N. :, fifty
cents per box; six boxes for two dollars
and fifty cents.
