DICKENS AS HE WAS.
His Appearance Disappointed His First
American Audience.

When Charles Dickens was to make his
first appearance in Boston before an
American audience as reader. an inn
mense crowd awaited him. The enthu-
siasm of the people for the most popular
novelist then living had risen to fever
heat. One of the most ardent of his ad-
mirers afterward told this little incident
of the evening.
With a few gentlemen who wished to
welcome and show him attention. l was
in the little room at the back of the plat
form when Dickens entered it. He was
rather stout man with a somewhat red
face, and I saw to my surprise that he
was dressed in an exaggerated servility
to the extreme fashion.
More than this, he wore boutonn!ere
in each buttonhole, and two watches, the
chains of which were strung aggressively
across the chest. There was a gaudy.
bad taste in his appearance which his
friends regretted. knowing how djstaste-
full it would be to most of his admirers
who appreciated his genius, and enjoyed
his writings
mo one. of course, could broach the
subject to him, and he appeared that
night and every other night of his en-
gagement in the same attire. The uni
versal comment was, why this is Pc
tit-naitre. How can a man with such
tastes be the creator of Tiny Tim and

There is No Need to Suffer From
Blood Impurities and Nerve
Disorders,
Or For One to Be An Object OF Aversion to
All With Whom They Come in Contact.
When DR.. Clarke's Red-Iron=Pills
Cure Such Diseases.

The most terrible part of blood diseases is
that they are apparent to all. The suffer-
ing that sensitive persons feel when upon their
faces is SO plainly stamped the marks of dis
ease is perhaps greater than the actual pain
they experience from their trouble. Blood
disorders besides almost always being visible
to everyone that the sufferer comes in contact
with are OF peculiarly aggressive nature
impurities in the blood grow and develop in
q remarkable manner. When the blood is
once diseased, every organ of the body soon
is affected Rheumatism, dyspepsia, kidney
troubles, headaches, sleeplessness, loss of
appetite, faces that are covered with pmples
or blotches, susceptibility to colds and numer-
ous other ills are sure symptoms that the
blood and nerves have become prey to dis
ease. Though blood and nerve troubles are
SO prevalent and terminate in such terrible
manner, yet when properly treated they yield
quickly to medicine.
The greatest remedy known to the advanced
science of today for blood and nerve dis
eases, as well as the many ills that result from
them, is DR.. Clarke's Red -Iron-Pills These
little red pellets contain a particular salt of
iron that acts most benefcially upon the nerves
and the blood. The iron that is contained in
these pills is of such nature that the disagree
able symptoms thatwere formerly experienced
when iron was taken are entirely averted
We refer to constipation, headaches, a feeling
of oppression around the eyes and other signs
showing that too strong tonic had been ad-
ministered. With this peculiar salt of iron.
however. the greatest good is accomplished
and what is more, is accomplished quickly
In the hundreds of cases we continually
hear of, where a cure has been affected, we
will quote three letters written very close to-
gether, which in themselves form story of
what Red-Iron-Pills will do. These read as

the seamen in peril could be saved.
After a number of vain attempts this

it was blowing very hard.
Then it was that another means of

p half frozen, exhausted men were
hauled up over the high side of the

AS the boat was going back to the

demolished it. The lines were also car

touched the water, and she bounded
away on the crest of a big wave like
a race horse. The seas were by this
time terrific and THAT she lived five
minutes is a miracle. 1t was only ow-
ing to the splendid manner in which
she was handled that she lived it out.
For Two hours the boats crew strug-
gled at the oars but could not get with

was smashed against the ships side

They all came near drowning, but

men of the Lordonian succeeded in

was also lost and all that day was
spent in trying to again establish COM

ALL SETTLED.
Peace Commissioners Decide
on Peace Treaty Terms.
Spaniards Bitter and Americans in
CorrespondingIy Good Spirits.
Spain Equally Charges The Powers and Ameri-
ca Tor Her Downfall.

Paris, Dec. S.-The United States and
Spanish peace commissioners concluded
their work, today, and finally settled
the terms of the treaty of peace. They
will meet once more in formal session
Saturday or Monday next, when the
Spanish commissioners, sorrowfully and
the Americans with feelings of relief
will write their signatures upon the
document which embodies the results
of the war and the preparation of
which has consumed II weeks, longer
time than the war itself. In the mean
time the treaty will be engrossed under
the supervision of Mr.. Moore and Senior
Ojeda. the secretaries of the respective
commissions.
The Spaniards are exceedingly bitter
over the result, though observing the
form of friendliness and courtesy to the
end. Senior Rios, whose strong and
persistent struggle to save for his
country every possible asset from the
wreck Of her colonial empire has COM
manded the respect and admiration of
his opponents, went from the council
chamber, today, to his bed, in a state
of complete collapse as the result Of
the long strain and his chagrin over
the small fruits Of his efforts. Senior
Ojeda has been prostrated since yester-
day and was unable to attend the joint
session, today.
The Spaniards charge equal blame
upon the European powers and the
United States for their downfall One
Of the Spanish commissioners said, this
evening:
The European nations have made
great mistake in deserting Spain and
leaving her to spoliation by the brute
force of constituencies giant.
They all know that in the Philip
pines America has taken more than she
can digest. She will ultimately sell the
islands to England or Germany and
when the transfer is attempted. it will
precitate general European strife
I'VE have refused to sell any island
IN the Carolines. We never thought of
considering an offer. Nor have We
consented to negotiate upon any ques-
tons except those directly involved in
the proticol signed at Washington"
