Petty revenge never built an apter
monument TO It's own folly than spite
house" the residence of a millionaire
who died not long since in this coun-
try. This man owned a strip of land
five feet wide in one Of our largest cit
les, of such apparent uselessness to
him that .Ae adjoining landowner of
fered fair sum for 1t. and confident
of its acceptance, preceded to build
dwelling on his own property. The
millionaire, however. demanded five
times the amount named. and unable
to obtain it, he himself erected a
house four stories high on the five
feet of land. shutting out all side light
from his neighbor. Finding II impos-
rible to rent the house to any one, the
revengeful owner took up his own
abode therein. The extreme narrow
ness of the house necessitated not on
ly the making of special furniture for
1t. but the inhabitants passing side
ways through the doors. To live in
1t was both physical discomfort and
mental repression. One fancies that
children born there would have been
dwarfed in body and soul: their fea-
lures sharp, their minds pinched, their
whole natures turned edgewise TO So
ciety. The laws of heredlty and enyir-
onment endorse such conclusions,
condemnation of such petty spite and
ignoble revenge cannot be too strong.

Jerome Turner, lawyer of Muskegon.

at the Worlds Fair in Chicago Mr..
Turner took the part of an old gentle

The Portland daily press., 1897-06-14

We fine around us everywhere men who
are young in years, but who in body are
actually old and decrepit. This premature
old age is becoming more common every
year. Thousands are continually dying who
are scarcely 80 years of age, from complete
worn out state of their systems, just as
literally of old age as though they had lived
to be 100, and the cause of this is due to
general demoralized condition of the great
vital organs of the body the stomach, the
liver, the kidneys and the blood; let any of
these become impaired and the blood instead
of flowing through the body and carrying
nourishment to all its parts, becomes filled
with poisonous secretions which generate and
multiply continually, ceasing to build up
new flesh tissue, SO that gradual wasting
and decay takes place until the day comes
when complete collapse is experienced and
speedy death ensues.
The Indian is noted for his longevity, due
to the fact that he takes no medicine that
contains poisonous ingredients, but depends
upon his famous Kickapoo Indian Sagwa
entirely, which is purely vegetable, made
from roots, barks, gums and herbs of the

forest. James Reuben, the oldest living
Senaca Indian attributes his long life to
the use of this wonderful medicine, and
is enthusiastic in its praise.
This wonderful remedy rectifes all dis
orders of the great vital organs, but above
all purifies the blood and enables it to
perform its natural function, imparting life
and vigor to all parts OF the system.
Let man have perfect digestion and pure
blood, and there is a continual restoration of
waste tissue taking place in the body. With
out this there is decline. If you feel that
you have not your ordinary strength, you
do not sleep as you should, your appetite is
fitful, you are nervous, have dizzy spells and
seem generally rundown, you should not
hesitate minute, for this is the beginning of
some serious decline. While you still have
strength and life take Kickapoo Indian
Sagwa. A change for the better will be
experienced with the first bottle, and a
speedy return to health will be the result in
every instance. Follow the Indian S example,
and share with him long life and health.
This famous remedy is now sold by all
druggists, 81 bottle, six bottles for 80.

A BEAUTIFUL WINDOW.
The Hunt Memorial in the Congress-
Square Church.

The Hunt Memorial window, in the
Congress Square church, was completed
and put in its place on Saturday. 1t is
beautiful work in translucent sculp-
tured marble, and the first memorial
window in Maine, by Sculptor Fred A.
Shaw. although several will be finished
here this winter.
The window represents an Easter angel,
with an uplifted trumpet, and bearing a
cluster of Easter lilies. The theme was
suggested by q poem, in which the
angels, on Easter morning, sounded
peans of joy through the heavens, and,
floating towards the earth, scattered
lilies to comfort the sorrowing loved ones
here
There is a remarkable feeling of atmos-
phere and space, in which the figure
seems to rest lightly on its outspread
wings: In the background, and at the
top, the high light penetrates the whole
and seems to radiate from the figure.
The effect is very beautiful from an ar
tlstlc standpoint, the sculptor having
rarely obtained in painting.
MI Shaw first studied in Paris, and
while there in 1892, discovered this trans
lucent sculpture, which is an entirely
new line of art. 1t consists simply in
carving from pure marble, graduating
thlcknesses to produce high lights, shad-
ows and mezzo tints. The marble used
is about an inch and half in thickness
and is remarkably translucent
The coloring changes in different
lights, for example, in a suns glow the
marble takes on the shade of the clouds,
and produces an effect impossible in
painting. Sculptor Shaw had piece
of his work hung in the Paris Salon in
1892, and has since won gold medal.
He has, like many artists, after repeated
exhibits in the Paris Salon, retired to a
quiet country studio. But instead of a
Partisan suburb, he has chosen the quiet
little town of Winthrop, Maine, which
he thinks just as picturesque and more
comfortable.
His busts and statues are modelled at
Winthrop, and sent to his Florentine
s bV mecbancs and md them sent az back where
he carefully finishes the work.

COMING TO POLTlANn.
New York Yachtsmen to Visit This
Port.

Boston, June 12.-Marblehead yachts
men are good deal surprised by the re-
port which has been sent on from New
York of the change in the plans Of the
New York Yacht club for its eastern
cruise. If the statements made in the dis
patches are correct, which there seems to
be a good deal of reason to. doubt, the fleet
will make it's first run from Vineyard
Haven to Gloucester, and from there make
Bar Harbor in two runs stopping either
at Portsmouth or Portland 1t hardly
seems possible that the officers of the New
York club should have planned to end
days run at Gloucester, only a short dis
lance from Marblehead, and in fact just
about the same distance in line from
Pollock's Rip lightship, after the efforts
that have been made by the officers of the
Eastern to get them to come to Marble
head. 1t could hardly be called courte
Gus to take this action, and it would be
surprising to find that it had been taken,
as the most cordial relations have always
existed between the two clubs.
From a look at the chart it might be
supposed that Gloucester harbor, from it's
greater size, offered better anchorage to
the New York S big fleet, but in prac-
tice this advantage does not exist. AL
the only place in it outside of Ten Pound
Island where there is good holding
ground is small clay spot just inside
of Dog Bar. The rest of it is soft sand,
and as the prevailing winds of summer
blow directly into the harbor the danger
of dragging and fouling with large
feet anchored there would be consider
able. In Marblehead and Salem harbor
there is excellent holding ground every
where, and there is plenty of room with
the small craft in the inner harbor and
the big steamers lying farther out, and
just inside of Cat island. The fact that
Portsmouth is spoken Of as one of the
stopping place of the squadron shows
there is want of authenticity in the report
limited anchorage there it would be al
most impossible for the squadron to lie
up over night without being badly
tangled up in the morning.
