PORTSMOUTH,, n. H., July 22.-
Thousands of people lined the water
front and occupied other points of
vantage in the vicinity when at high
tide this afternoon. 81 tons OF dyna-
mite was exploded and Hendersons
Point. jntting piece of land that has
always narrowed the channel to the
exclusion of ships of the heaviest
draft was removed from the geogra-
ply of New Hampshire.
1t was the largest blast ever fired
AT the invitation of the navy depart
ment, which conducted the engineer
ing feat. eminent engineers, naval Of
ticers and others were present in
large numbers to witness the uplift-
ing of land and water. The invited
spectators stood on Reservoir Hill
from which they had a splendid view
of the terrific explosion. The ar
rangements were in charge Of Engi
neer Gregory, U. S. N. Miss Edith
Foster, daughter of Supt. o. w. Fos-
ter OF the Massachusetts Contracting
company, pressed the button which
set of the gigantic Charge and sent
$1,000 yards of solid land flying in the
air. 1t was holiday for the navy
yard and all the employees turned out
10 witness the sight. The townspeo-
pie of Portsmouth and hundreds of
visitors from nearby cities and towns
swarmed over Pierce Island and on
the Newcastle side of the water.

point to a depth of 20 feet. This
cushion of water served TO TENDER

earth was felt for miles
The work of removing Henderson,
Point has been going on for several
years. Three-quarter Of million
dollars has been expended in the
task.
The Point projects into the channel
at the narrowest place, where the
river turns at sharp angle and
flows into the harbor. The old chan
mel was but 500 feet wide. The re.
movsl of the point increases the
width to $50 feet and gives the chan
mel uniform depth OF IS feet-a
widtn and depth that will admit OF
the entrance of any vessel now In the
navy or ever likely to be.
For over two years contractors
under the supervision OF the govern
ment, have been excavating the mid

yards had been excavated leaving 35,

Strange MaIaccan Festival.

A queer festival is celebrated il
Malacca every ten or twelve years
The opening of the festival is signal
lied by a grand procession, in which
huge piles of eatables take a large
share. At the end of the third day
the viands are burned. On this occa
sion the piles of food are placed in a
specially constructed boat, which is
to be towed out to sea and there con-
sumed by fire, together with all the
contents. A large sum of money,
amounting to several thousands of dol
lars, is subscribed, largely in Singa-
pore, for the proper observance of the

There will be no improvement as

Why should the gang nominate

No Poison in Chamberlain Cough
Remedy.

From Napier New Zealand, Herald /:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board
of New South Wales, Australia, had
an alysis made of all the cough medi-
cines that were sold in that market.
Out of the entire list they found only
one that, they declared was entirely
free from all poisons. This exception
was Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
made by the Chamberlain Medicine
Company, Des Moines, Iowa, u. S. A.
The absence of all narcotics makes
this remedy the safest and best that
can be had; and it is with feeling of
security that any mother can give it
to her little ones. Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is especially recon-
by its makers for coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough.
This remedy is for sale by all dealers
