Baltimore both interested and delighted the lovers

A BRIGHT YOUNG MAN.
The New President of the National Repub
lican League.

The New President of the National Repub-
lican League.
In 1887, when the Republican National
league was organized in Chickering
hall in New York city, the member Of
the executive committee selected from
the state of Illinois was William w.
Tracy of Springfield, a young man Of
26, of evident ability, but not very
widely known in the councils of his
party. The next year the State league
of Illinois elected him to fill the chair Of
presiding officer. He has ever since re-
tanned both positions, being reelected
unanimously every year as president of
the State league and assisting very ma
terially in shaping the policy Of the ma
tional body, especially as to it's relations
with the younger men, who look upon
him as their leader, SO that when he
was recently elected president Of the Ma
tional league he was one Of the best
known members of the organization and
had, in measure, proved his capabilty
for the position.
The Portland daily press., 1893-05-19

Mr.. Tracy is native Of Springfield.
He was born there in 1861 and has lived
there all his life. He is cashier Of the
First National bank Of Springfield, of
which his father is the president. He
entered the bank in a subordinate capac-
ity soon after his return from college
and has worked his way up. Williams
college was his alma mater, and he was
= leader among his fellow students. 1t
is significant that the only opposition to
his election to the presidency of the Ma
tional league was based upon the alleged
desire to avoid placing such heavy bur-
den on the shoulders Of SO young a man.
His predecessor, General James S. Clark
son, speaks of him in highly eulogistic
terms and seems to have no doubt what
ever that the league will flourish under
his administration.

A NEWSPAPER PALACE.
The Unique New Structure Built For the
New York Herald.

The Unique New Structure Built For the
New York Herald.
In the evolution Of business architec-
ture in New York city the skyscraper
is no longer as conspicuous as it was q
few years ago. When the average build
ing was of three or four stories the Sor TO-
story structure was monumental. When
the average had increased to eight or ten
stories, low buildings looked queer, but
as skyscrapers became the rule instead
of the exception they met the fate that
familiarity breeds, and the old fash
Toned 3-story structure began to excite
positive admiration. This admiration
was not shared in by real estate oper-
ators. They could not fail to view with
horror anything SO wasteful Of possibili-
ties in the way Of rent, and something
like a panic seized them when the New
York Herald announced its intention to
erect q building covering an entire city
block, to be devoted solely to its own
business and only 3-stories high.
The Portland daily press., 1893-05-19

FRONT OF THE NEW HERAED BUILDING.
Nor were real estate men the only ones
to question the wisdom Of The Herald's
course. The site selected, at the inter-
section Of Broadway and Sixth avenue,
between Thirty fifth and Thirty sixth
streets, is SO far from the traditional
Newspaper row. that 1t was predicted
The Herald's business would be serious
LIZ injured. This worried other people
more than it did the proprietor Of The
Herald, however, and the building was
erected in accordance with the original
plans. In a few days it will be ready
for occupancy, and the paper will move
in. lie the business continues to be prof
liable, Of which there is a possibility, it
will probably be continued there for a
few years to come, or until enough peo-
pie become satisfied with the building
and location to convince The Herald
that it ought to go somewhere else.
The new building has been admirably
planned for the work of getting out
a newspaper, and if that were the
sole object of its erection it would be
entirely suitable. But the great curiosi-
ty of the general public has been taken
into account, and means have been pro
yided by which those mechanical depart
ments that usually attract most atten-
ton can be freely inspected without in
any way interfering with their work.
The arcade that surrounds the building
will serve the purpose of an observation
gallery, and from.it the interior of the
press, stereoty ping and engine rooms
can be seen without the necessity of 60
ing inside the building.

THEY WERE NOT DROWNED.
The Crew of the Alice Leland Went
Camping Out Instead.
Especial to the Press.l


RocKLAND,. May 18.--Ever since last
Friday night, when the schooner Alice
M. Leland was wrecked on Otter Island,
there have been many conjectures as to
what became of the crew. The mystery
was unexpectedly cleared up today by
the arrival from Vinalhaven on the
steamer Emeline of Captain Somes and
the other two missing men. Captain
Somes says the vessel left Franklin, Fri
day morning. All went well until q ID
Saturday morning, when she struck
heavily on ledge, forged ahead, pound
ing like mad almost over the reef, and
then hung there. heeled over to port and
very much by the head. They thought
the bottom had gone out of her, and lost
no time in launching the boat and leay-
ing her, intending to stay by her till day
light. They lost sight of the vessel and
concluded that she had sunk. Atday-
light they found the schooner had struck
reef half a mile from the Seal Islands.
On one of the islands is camp where
they found Captain Meier Dyer
who entertained them Hospitality until
the weather permitted their departure
for the mainland. AS already reported,
their vessel instead of slipping off the
reef and sinking, drifted over to Otter
Island, where she again struck on the
rocks.

New BEDFORD, May 18.-James Nc

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inf1am-
ed you have a rumbling sound OF imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and This tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous sufaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrah) that CAN
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

[From Our Regular Correspondent
A light mist commenced falling Tues
day afternoon which continually in
creased until it became a pouring rain
storm which lasted for several hours.
The land was already very wet occasioned
by the two heavy falls of rain which
we had only few days previous to this
last and now all land is in very un-
satisfactory condition for farm work.
The charge to the roads is very heavy in
this town. The watercourse at the foot
of the hill between Percy Chafin's and
Arthur Noyes's is washed out to deph
of over six feet and it is thought the on,y
way of reason ABLY repairing the sam e
will be by budding a bridge. The hill
beyond the town house and also the one
near Samuel Shows are badly washed
requiring immediate attention.
