THE FRANK S. VILLA RID
LAUNCHED.

The handsome steamer Frank S. Will
lard, owned by Mr.. Willard and built for
him by the Portland Ship Building COM
pany for the lobster business, was
launched yesterday afternoon at O'Clock.
There was large crowd of youngsters
and many grown UP people as well
gathered about the shore or seated on
the timbers at the yard to witness the
launching. The new steamer was hand
somely decorated with bunting and when
the ways were driven under her keel
and she started towards the water the
crowd on shore set up a yell Of delight.
Faster and faster she moved down the
we'll creased ways until she buried her
stem deep in the blue water of the har-
Dor, lurched skittishly from side to side
for bit and then foated Off with the
grac, Of fairy craft towards the tow
boats which We're watching for her. AS
she struck the water the tow boats set
up q deafening whistling and the salute
was taken up by other crafts in the har
Dor in welcome to the very handsome adj
dition to the fleet of the bay.
Another steamer. almost the co I'll tor
part of the f. S. Willard, will be launched
very shortly from the same yard.

A HANDSOME WINDOW.

At the Y. NJ G. A. building can Dc
seen beautiful window just completed
by Cyrus Farley. The design Tor the
window was taken from Hoffman's cele
brated painting in the gallery at Dresaen'
Christ Among the Doctors, and when
has been viewed by many Portlan u
people. The window was designed ana
executed by Mr.. Alfred Schrof of Boston.
The window is a gift to the new Unlyer-
salist church at Machias which is nearly
completed. 1t is in memorian of Mr. ana
Mrs. I. W. Cooper. 1t is in the form OF
circle seven feet in diameter and con-
tains about forty square feet of glass. The
separated number of pieces used in its
construction would number far up into
the thousands and it has taken between
the and four months to complete it. Mr..
Farley has also just completed another
window for the same church. 1t repre-
sents the Good Shepherd and is also
very beautiful. This window is in
memory of Mr.. and Mrs. George Burnham.

ON THE INDIANA.
Letter from Deeripg Boy With Fleet at
Key West.

Adjutant Waldo H. Perry of the Maine
Division, S. of ", Of this city received a
letter yesterday from a nephew of his
wifes, MIR. Harry +. King, formerly of
East Deering, who is now aboard tie U.
S. S. Indiana at Key West, Florida.
MIR. King says: Everything is excite
rnent down here, and we are expecting
war at any moment. Everything is in
readiness for immediate action, and we
even keep the guns loaded night and day,
with the ship already cleared for
action II this ship ever sinks we will
all go down with her, as everything that
would keep man ahoat has been taken
ashore, boats and all unnecessary
lumber 1t is a very amusing and in
teresting sight at night to see the swift
torpedo boats stealing around the ships,
doing picket duty If strange vessel
heaves in sight, and don't show her colors
in time we soon 'heave her to- by throw
ing q shell across her bow. 1t is indeed
one continual drill all the time, and we
are expecting to hear the gongs sound
general quarters, now at any moment.
We have learned our part well, for we
were compelled to. Square meals are few
and far between. l have not as yet seen
Bloomer, for he is on the Montgomery,
and left here few days ago for Norfolk.
There are at least twenty ships here now
and more are expected. A very formidable
fleet, and the Indiana is looked upon as
the king of them ALL This ship is far
ahead of England's best battleship in
every particular, but speed. There are
four of our guns in our main battery
which throw bullet as you would call
it, Weighing II so pounds and it takes 45o
pounds of powder to throw that bullet
thirteen miles, 1t is certainly @ wonder
full ship. but think it will prove to be
death trap as we'll. We ell have fishing
lines and manage to catch few once in
while, but the sharks are so thick that
fish can't live"

CIGAR FACTORIES BUSY.

The cigar factories in town are rushi ng
their work now in anticipation of an in

now six cents per pound on smoking to-
bacco. Prior to the war OF the rebellion
the tax on tobacco was about the same as
at present. Congress raised the tax to 80
cents per pound, and the impression
among dealers is that the report of Chair
