Beware of 0intments For Oatarrh That

As mercury will surely destroy the sense Of

Yesterday morning he called at the

ed the elevator which slowly moved up

a TALL TOWER.
Last Stone Laid on the Turret of the state
Street Tower Yesterday--Fine view
From the Sumnait--Beautifui Facade.

Yesterday the last stone was put IN
place on the tower of the new facade OF
State street church, and the work stood
all complete except the removing OF tne
staging, and the putting in place OF the
metal roofs of the tower. The tower OF
this facade, from the foundation to the
apex of the wrought iron final, which is
yetto be put in place, will be al feet.
This will be the highest structure in the
city, and will bring back the old prestige
of State street church, when its old spire
was the first object seen by the marin or
as he neared Portland. Yesterday a
representative of the PRESS, accompa-
MED Mr.. John Calvin Stevens, the ar
chitect, and Mr.. Smith, of the firm of
Blackstone & Smith, who have built the
facade, to the top Of the masonry of the
tower. The last stone of this masonry
was laid yesterday and the men who
have worked on it during the year,
Messrs. G. O. Smith, Samuel Barbrick,
J. F. Harmon and Christie Eastler. had
the satisfaction of knowing as they put
this last stone in place that no artisans
had ever placed a stone higher in Port
land. The Maynard free stone from
Long Meadow, of which the facade is
built is familiar to admirers of the new
church. The masonry has been carried
to its apex. III feet from the ground
without q single accident to mon or ma
terial and wiJhouta single mistake that
necessitated the reatting of stone, a
result of which both contractor and
architect are very proud.
The view from the top of this tower is
very fine. This top is on level with
the tops of the highest windows of the
observatory, and therefore gives slight
ly better outlook than Portland's ancient
watch tower. The view is magnificent
as may well be imagined. At that great
height the sea line is visible beyond all
the islands, and Old Orchard, the Nor
NAL school at Gorham. as well as the
stretch of country towards and including
the White Mountains. But all the par
ishioners of State street would not have
enjoyed the view yesterday, considering
that it could be obtained only by dir
zy climb up trembling ladders and along
narrow planlss, where one was cautioned
not to look down under any Circumstance
es. But when the work is completed
the view will be within the reach of the
most timid. The tower has, as one of
its parts, an octagonal turret six and
half feet in diameter on the inside and
running from the basement to the high
est point A spiral staircase is to be put
into this turret so that it will be safe and
easy FOL all to ascend and enjoy the
view. On top of this turret is to be
placed tall pointed roof 16 feet high,
and from the apex of this 16 foot iron
final.
Although the top OF this final will be
the highest point Id the city, it will not
be the higest measured from the ground.
The Catholic Cathedral spire is higher.
although none of the Cathedral masonry
reaches so high point.

The Peaks Island Fire.

The fire at Peaks Island was in such a
state again yesterday as to demand the
presence of the chief of the fire depart
ment. Miss Ford-Piper, a summer
boarder at Mr.. Henry Skillings's, came
up in behalf of Mr.. Sl1illings to demand
the protection of the mayor. Mr.. Skill
lings and all his household and hired
men were required to fight the fire,
which was working along very insidious-
ly beneath the surface of the ground,
feeding on the roots as fires do in dry
times. They claim that the fremen on
the island do not seem much interested
in stopping the fire, which has already
burned over many acres between the
cemetery and Pumpkin Knob, and which
they say is menacing Mr.. SllilIings's
buildings.
Chief Ball said last night that he
made a careful investigation yesterday.
He was satisfied that in one place the
fire was incendiary. He had nine men at
work yesterday and in one place they
discovered a lot of brush piled on a
burning stump. Then again the people
on the island don't take much interest in
fighting the fire. The ground is very
dry and the flames have worked under
what usually is a swamp. If the flames
threaten cottage the man that owns it
and few friends will turn out and fight
it, but NOBODY else. They will look on.
The flames cannot be extinguished he
says until there comes a good rain. 1t
would require four to five thousand feet
of hose to reach the spot and the I'M
covering of the city proper for the de-
partment to try to patrol the ground
and then they would not be able to get
water enough. The fire boat cannot do
any good at that place.

Receiveda Paralytic Shock.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. W. F. Todd,
the well-known jeweller and musician,
went out to the Portland Gun Club
range at Deering to take part in the
shooting by the club. He had just fin
ished his score when he received slight
shock of paralysis, affecting his left leg
and arm and right eye. A physician on
the Richmond Gun Club team was pres
emit and carriage was obtained and Mr..
Todd taken to his home on Fessenden
street. Deering. DR.. Foster of Deering
was called. He reported Mr.. Todd very
comfortable last evening and hopes for a
speedy recovery.

a kicking Horse Draws a Large Audi

A Kicking Horse Draws a Large Audi
ence.
There was forerunner of the circus
on Portland street yesterday afternoon
that amused many people. A dray bear
ing the sign of E. K. Steadman, and
numbered 1859, was passing along the
street drawn by two fine looking black
horses. 1t was the off horse
that furnished the entertainment.
Every ten feet that horse would stop and
let his heels fy-not in any gentle kick
but in a ''straight-from- the-shoulder"
way that would have done well on a
catapult. The horse would kick with
remarkable accuracy, but could not quite
reach far enough to knock fly off the
drivers hatbrim. The show drew a
large and interested audience.

THE YACHT RACE.
The Dorothy O. and the Chaos the Proba-
BILE Winners.

Yesterday morning the first and second
class yachts of the Portland Yacht Club
commended for private purses, made UP
by subscription from the club members.
The matter was rather hurriedly arranged
because both of the boats that were to
contend in the first-class race intended
sailing on cruises today. The races
were sailed over the usual Portland
yacht club courses for first and second
class yachts.
The race for the first-class yachts was
the first one called. The Vif crossed
the line at 11.46.01, followed by the Dor
othy @. at 11.46.23. The Wifi led down
to Bug Light, followed closely by the
Dorothy Q. The latter yacht was appar-
entity better handled than her adversary,
and at this point she blanketed the vif.
She came in winner by about half an
hour. This is the starting and sailing
time of the race, the corrected time not
having been figured yet by the commit
tee:
