The little creature did not seem to be

the bird on the sill.

ANOTHER FINE STORE.
w. M. Furbush g. Sons New warerooms.

Today, at noon, Messrs. w. M. Furbush &
Son will be pleased TO open their new ware
rooms in the Brown Building on the corner Of
Congress street and Tolmsn place, the CORES
ponding position at the west end of the block
which Rines Brothers occupy at the east end,
although this firm does not require 80 much
space as RineR Brothers Nevertheless the
store Is Of large proportions, being 115 feet
deep, 70 feet wide, and II feet high. It is the
only store in the building which Ia frescoed,
and the work has been well done In mode
colors, with very handsome frieze. The
store Is exceedingly well lighted and has twot
large show windows on Congress street and
one on Tolman place. One of these windows
will be furnished with handsome organ, and
the other dressed with display Of organ and
piano furnishings. At night there will be
light from eight two-light gasaliers.
On the right Of the entrance is an elegant
cabinet in cherry, and counter of the same
material, for the display of organ and piano
fittings and furnishings. Near the rear of the
store are the handsome offices finished in
cherry, and directly opposite the offices is
broad staircase leading to the second story.
The floor of the store is of birch, which has
been oiled. The artistic character of the room
is enhanced BY the portraits of eminent COM
posers which adorn the walls, and the superb
instruments of Kranich & Bach, weber, and
Wheelock make which fill the apartment.
The second story is devoted to the Mason g.
Hamlin and American Organ Company's in
struments which can be found here at all
prices. This room is lighted by sixteen large
windows and, at the rear, there is a commo-
dious workshop, 20 feet square. In the south
west corner of the wareroom Mr.. Harvey Mur
ry will have private apartment handsomely
fitted up.
The basement, which is modelled on the same
style as Rines Brothers, will be devoted to
storage and packing.
Messrs. W. M. Furbush & Son have long oc-
cupied rooms in the Harrington Block and
when they came to Portland, seveSal years
ago, they dealt almost entirely in organs.
Now they have large piano trade as well, and
do large business not only in the city but
throughout Maine and New Hampshire.

THE ALLAN LINE.
Another Monster Steamship to be Added
to the Company's Fleet.

The Messrs. Allan have just completed a
contract with Clyde ship-building firm for
the construction of another large steamship.
She is to be called the Siberian, and will be a
freight ship after the model of the Company 's
three new freight vessels, the Hanoverian,
Corean and Grecian. Like them, she is to be
of steel, but she will be much larger than any
of them, 1900 tons register. This is only 600
tons less displa cement than the Parisiap, and
30 tons less than the Sandman, but her carry
ing capacity will be larger than either of these
owing to her being built especially for freight.
By the terms of the contract the new vessel is
to be pushed forward with all despatch In
the meantime preliminares in connection with
the construction of the 6,100 itonner Numidian
are about complete, her lines being now laid.

A wOmAN,s EXPERIENCES.

Mrs. WILLIAa DowNEs, of Uxbridge, Mass
writes on March 49, 1888. as follows
During the past three years have been a great
sufferer from complication of diseases which baf
fed the skill of the iaost experienced doctors as
could not obtain permanent relief by their treat
ment and prescriptions; and have also tried many
so-called cures in the medicine line, but could get
no relief The pains. aches and weakness increased
20 rapidly and constantly that was so reduced in
strength as to be unable leave the bed, and the
doctors informed me that there was no hope of re-
covery. In this exhausted and discouraged condi
tion dear friend persuaded me to use Hunts Rem
edy,an1 after takingit only three days commenced
to get better and to my joy and delight Ihaye
continued to improve constantly by its use, until
now, after having taken the remedy only few
weeks, am able to lie about my house again. and
am now doing my housework. My lame back is
cured, the severe pains have disappeared, and am
now in better health than for many years, and beg
this privilege Of gladly recommending Hunts Rem
edy to all who affected with any disease of the
kidneys or liver; and also highly recommend it
for the attacks of sick headache. My husband also
has experienced very great benefit to his health by
the use of this most valuable medicine Hunts Rem
edy."
