With torturing, disfguring eczemas,
and every species of itching, burning,
bleeding, scaly, crusted, pimply and
blotchy skin and scalp diseases are
relieved in the majority of cases by a
single application, and speedily, per-
manently, and economically cured by
the Cuticura Remedies when the best
physicians, hospitals and all other rem
edies fail. To those who have suffered
long and hopelessly, and who have lost
faith in doctors, medicines, and all things
human, the Cuticura Remedies appeal
with force never before realized in the
history of medicine. Every hope, every
expectation awakened by them, has
been more than fulfilled. Their success
has excited the wonder and admiration
of physicians and druggists, familiar
with the marvellous cures daily effected
by them. They have friends in every
quarter of the civilized world. People in
every walk of life believe in them, use
them, and recommend them. They are in
truth the greatest skin cures, blood puri-
fiers and humor remedies of modern
times. Sale greater than the combined
sales of all other skin and blood RENE
dies. Sold throughout the world.

THE BUILDING LOANS.
Sale of a Lot by the City Recalls the Effort
to Rebuild Burned Portland.

An incident occurred in the city treas
urer's office yesterday which recalls the
great struggle which Portland people
made to rebuild their city after the great
fire of 1866. The legislature authorized
a building loan commission with power
to issue bonds and let out the proceeds
to people who wanted to rebuild, taking
mortgages as security. About 100000
were thus let out Nearly all of these
mortgages have been cleared off by the
builders of the buildings or their sue
cessors, but there remains $27, 100 OF
these mortgages still outstanding. One
of the pieces of property under mort
gage of this sort is the building on the
corner Of Green and Portland streets, oc-
cupied by Smith, the apothecary. The
city foreclosed on this property in 1881,
and has held it until yesterday, when it
was sold to Albert S. Rines for $500.
The original building loan commission
was composed of five men, Judge Wood
bury Davis, A. K Shurtleff, Eben Ste ele,
ii. N. Jose and Weston F. Milliken. Mr..
Milliken alone survives. Hon. William
L. Putnam has since been added to the
commission.

All the Facts Not Reported.

In answer to question from PRESS
reporter as is how he liked the recent
decision on the mooted parliamentary
question, Mr.. MCGOWAN of the Common
Council said that he had not yet received
from Mr.. Kehoe the statement of facts
with the referees decision. The pub
lished statements in the newspapers
omit an entire after clause as to whether
or not Nj. Kehoe's particular amend
ment would have been in order The
two questions were written on the same
sheet of paper, and it puzzles Mr.. Nc
Gowan why one part was given to the pa
pers for publication and the other part
suppressed.

A NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST.
In speech in the Senate in 1887,
John G. Calhoun said:
at appears to me, after bestowing
the best reflection [ can give no sub
Ject, that no convertible paper-that
is, paper whose credit rests on a
promise to PAYS suitable for cur
rency. Bank paper is cheap to those
who make it, but dear, very dear, to
those who use it. On the other
hand, a national currency, while it
would greatly facilitate its financial
operation, would cost nothing or next
to nothing, and would, of course,
add much to the cost of production,
which would give to every branch of
our industries great advantages both
at home and abroad. And | now
undertake to affirm without the least
tear l can be answered, that paper
issued by the government, with a
simple promise to receive it for all
dues would form perfect paper cir
culation which could not be abused
by the government; that it would
be as uniform in value as the metals
themselves; and | shall be able to
prove that it is within the constitu-
ton and lowers of congress to use
such q paper according to the most
rigid rule OF constituting the constitu-
ton" ffN
