THIS SUPERB SUMMER HOTEL ON

OPEN.
Fine improvements Have Been Made
And Everything Looks Its Best.

Fine improvements Have Been Made
And Everything Looks Its Best.
The ever popular Hill Crest, the fine
| summer hotel of Charles w. Hamilton
Of Chebeague Island opened its doors
for the entertainment of summer tour
lists Monday. This hotel has always
had its full quota of guests and this
can be easily explained, for it is well
known to all tourists in Casco Bay
that the social life at the Hill Crest
leads all others and that merriQeht
reigns supreme here. Ever sincesthe
close Of the hotel last year Mr.. Ham,
ilton has been at work making altera-
tons and Improvements many OF
which required large outlay of
money. However, his policy Is always
to have the best and the hotel today
is equal in appointments with any in
Casco Bay. With the new chambers
added this season there are now sixty
sleeping rooms and the furnishings
are the latest patterns and complete
in every detail. At the present time
large force of workmen are busy
laying out a new double tennis court,
50x160 feet, the site of which Is on
the land made vacant by the remov-
al Of the dancing pavilion TO its pres
ent location. When completed II will
give the Hill Crest the finest tennis
courts on the island. The many pa
irons of the house will be pleased to
know that Mr.. A. p. Bicknell OF
Boston will again assist Mr.. Hamil-
ton in the management of the house.
Already he and his family are here for
the season and his who'e time is given
to the supervising Of every little de
tail. Mr.. Bicknell is certainly the
right man in the right place.
Commencing Thursday, July s. the
semi-weekly dancing parties will be
given in the dance hall, and after that
date on every following Monday and
Thursday evenings. Mr.. Walter
Rogers, the well known pianist OF
Boston, Mass. will again furnish mu-
sic for all these festivities. At the
present time Mr.. and Mrs. William
G. Zimmerman and family OF Brookline
are at the hotel to remain until July
81. Mr.. George n. McGilvary OF
Cambridge. Mass, OF the engineering
department at the Edison Electric Co..
Boston. Mass. is here for his vacation.

CHARLES n. ReDLON.
ONE OF PoRTLANp's BEST
KNOWN BUSINESS MEN PASSED
AWAY.
Was Highly Respected In caseo Bay
Where He Had Many Friends.


Where He Had Many Friends.
The people of Casco Bay were great
ly shocked Friday afternoon at the
news of the sudden death of Charles
H. Redlon, who has been for a number
OF years the sole proprietor of the ex-
tensive clothing and furnishing busi-
ness established by the late Ira F.
Clark and run under his name by Mr..
Redlon. Mr.. Redlon has been in Door
health for long time past, being af-
flicted with kidney trouble which has
at times FRUSTRATED him and has at all
times required him 10 be very careful
OF himself. Some years ago he was
brought close to deaths door by his
affliction, but by care and special
treatment he was brought back again
to good condition Of health and has
been able to attend TO his business al
most every day. Some three weeks
ago he had slight prostration, but
soon recovered and since then has
seemed as well as usual, IL not in fact
little better. He was at the store up
to closing time Thurs day, and showed
no premonition that 1t was to be
his last day in life.
Friday morning he did not feel as
well as usual, and although Ihe-had
planned to dine with bis father and
mother on Brown street, decided to
stay at home during the forenoon. In
a short time he deemed wise to send
for his family physician, and he. upon
visiting him saw the seriousness of the
situation and called in several other
doctors for consultation. Mr.. Red
lon continued TO grow rapidly worse,
however, and passed away at 11.30.
Charles II. Redlon was the son OF
Captain Benjamin ". and Mary E.
Huston Redlon and was born in Port.
land about As years ago. For a num-
Der Of years he was clerk at the cloth
ing store of Ira F. Clark & Co. on
Congress street, and on the death Of
Mr.. Clark. he. in company with a Mr..
Hannaford, bought the store. Mr..
Hannaford died of consumption about
year later and Mr.. Redlon became
the sole proprietor. and for about 20
years and up to the present time he
had conducted a successful business.
He is survived by his wife. who was
before marriage, Miss Annie b. At
wood OF this city: his parents, who re-
side on Brown street, and one sister.
Miss Georgia A. Redlon, who resides
with her parents.
The funeral took place from his late
residence. ia Emery street. Monday
afternoon and was largely attended by
the business men of Portland. Rev.
j. j.. Albion, ID. D.. pastor of the
First Universalist church conducted
the services. The floral tributes
were beautiful.

UNNECESSARY
SUFFERING
From Stomach Trouble That
Can Readily Be Cured by
the Tonic Treatment.

The first essential of healthy digestion
Is good, pure blood. It's work is to fur.
nish a normal flow of the digestive
fluids, keep up the activity of the
muscles of the stomach and take up the
digested food and carry il to the differ
ent tissues Of the body. Loss of appe-
tite, gas, heartburn and sour stomach
are warnings or symptoms that the
blood IL impure and that because of it,
the stomach Is unable to perform lite
work.
To restore the conditions for perfect
digestion, 10 Is necessary TO purify and
build mp the blood This explains the
reason for the constantly increasing use
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills in all cases
OF stomach trouble. They contain the
elements necessary 10 make rich, red
blood and have succeeded where other
remedies have failed
Miss Bertha Hubbard, Of r. +. d. No.
2, Lawton, Mich. says:
my stomach had been weak since /
was q little girl but two years ago it
troubled me so that ! was unfit for
school or any kind Of work. II ate
too much or something that disagreed
with me, would have dull, sick head
aches, which made me feel sick all over.
They came on Us often as twice week
and would be so bad that would vomit
until IL seemed could not stand 1t. Ny
eyes looked dull and dim and my oom-
plexion was yellow would wake mp
every morning with hard pain in my
side and would be- so drowsy all day
long that / could lie down at any time
and sleep had no strength or ambi-
ton and was greatly run down in health.
II was slowly getting worse and was
told about DR.. Williams Pink Pills by
friend The first few boxes helped me
and took them until cured. i am now
the picture of health and have had no
return of my sickness.
A great many people who are suffer
ing from indigestion are suffering un-
necessarily. They can be cured. The
first step is to send to the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y,
for a copy of their free diet book.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50. by the DR.. Williams
