Agony Of Rheumatism.
The Painful and Dangerous
Disease Always Yields
to Dr.. Clarke'S Red
IrOn-PillS.

Rheumatism is most positively blood dis
ease. The awful impurities that exist in the
blood are not only the cause OF the excruci-
ating pain that is experienced by sufferers
from rheumatism, but is source of grave
apprehension to anyone SC afflicted. When
this poison, as it often does, reaches any of
the vital organs, the most terrible results fol-
low. When it reaches the heart, the patient
falls dead Immediately.
DR.. Clarke's Red-Iron-Pls surely purify
the blood and so cure rheumatism. AT the
same time each and every one of the other
organs of the body are stimulated and
strengthened and perform their functions, so
that the existing impurities are driven from
the system through the natural channels.
One of the many instances that we have
heard of where cure has been accomplished
by the use of DR.. Clarke's Red-Iron-Pills is
that of Mr.. Ernest l.. Simmons ofSi Elm ST.,
Fall River. Mr.. Simmons is locomotive
foreman, who is employed by the N. Y, n.
II. II. Ry. He writes as follows
"l suffered terribly with sciatica and MUS
cular rheumatism, having been troubled for
the past two years. At one time l was so bad
last winter that l was obliged to lose five
months time. This fall | began to suffer
again with my old trouble, but my wife had
heard of your Red Iron Pills and procured a
box for me. The first box relieved me SO
that had no pain. The second box has left
me without the least touch of my old trouble.
l am confident that this is the only medicine
that will keep me on my feet"
II more people would consider the advan.
tage of using these pills in times of trouble,
not only great deal of misery but money,
would be saved. Just consider what single
illness will cost you in the way of doctors
bills and loss of time from employment.
When one looks at the matter in this light it
seems almost wicked that such chance Of
health should be overlooked by anyone. Red
Iron-Pills can be bought of all druggists, SO
cts. box, six boxes for $3.50, or will be
mailed on receipt of price by addressing the

Spain Yields.

Spain found itself at the end of its
rope, Monday, and accepted the in
evitable with all possible grace. Its
policy of quibbling over the fine points
of diplomacy had killed much time and
served no other purpose, for the
American commissioners knew their
rights and stood firmly by them. The
attitude of the Americans at Paris has
commanded the respect of the world.
They have handled the whole matter
with great skill, and have been always
patient and courteous with the daily
ing, tricky Spaniards. The powers
have not found the slightest pretext to
and America has proved once more her
ability to manage her foreign relations
without assistance.
The final terms offered Spain, which
she was required to answer, Monday.
We're far more generous and consider
ate than one usually offered a con-
quered nation. America would have
been fully justified in imposing much
harsher terms. The ultimate accept
ance by Spain of such terms as Ameri-
ca named has never been in doubt, for
it has been beyond reason that Spain
| should break off the negotia tions and
cause hostlities to be renewed to her
own further loss and humiliation. But
| there will be general relief on the part
of all concerned that the Spanish COM
missioners have been forced to cease
their haggling and fruitless parley,
and definitely accept our terms. This
| means that the United States will pay
$200Oo,000 for the Philippines and that
| Spain will at once sign a treaty re-
| inquishing Cuba and Internationally
| ceding Porto Rico. Guam. the Philip
| pines and probably one of the Caro-
/ lines. 1t is uncertain just how long it
will be before the treaty is signed. but
| it cannot be long. and it will be
| promptly sent to the Senate for ratifi-
| cation.

The Loss Of the Portland.

No storm Tor years, II ever before,
has strewn the coast of New England
so thickly with wrecks as the terrible
blizzard that ragged, Sunday, with such
fury. Over a hundred of our staunch
coasters and many scores of valuable
lives are known to have been sacrificed
in the seething waves and upon the
jagged rocks. Not all the loss and
damage is yet known. For days we
shall hear the sad tale of more schoon-
ers and men that We're at sea in the
storm but do not reach port. All
along the cruel shore, from the Penob-
scot to New London, there is scarcely a
bay, harbor, headland or island which
was not the scene of disaster. The
story Of the wild storm is stupendous
tragedy, with untold suffering of brave
men in the frozen rigging, heroic res
cues by the hardy and intrepid life
savers, and crushing grief in hundreds
of homes.
OF all the many wrecks and disas-
ters the loss of the Portland, of the
Boston & Portland Steamship Com
people of Maine. Most OF her passen-
gers and crew We're Maine people
dred and more precious lives which
met their end with that of the steamer
makes the disaster the greatest and
| most awful in the history of Maine
| shipping. Not one remains to tell the
story of that terrible Saturday night
when the great boat was tossed and
buffeted by the giant waves, and was
driven back by the relentless tempest
| many leagues from her course. to be-
come a total wreck on that graveyard
of ships" Cape Cod. We cannot con-
ceive the sufferings and terrors of that
long night. No human power could
avail against the mad fury of tbs
storm. Death rode on those foam
crested, rolling mountains, ana redpeO
a harvest of harvests. The Broken
bones of the steamer and the dead
forms which the surfeited sea grudging-
ly casts on the shore, tell the mute story
which carries bitter grief to 50 many
loving hearts, and which shocks and
saddens us all.
While no residents of our city are
known to have been on the Portland.
yet the loss of Hon. E. Dudley Free
man, of the Governors council, causes
much sorrow here where his official
! relations have made him so we'll
known and so universally popular. Mr..
Freeman was one of the best known of
the many passengers on the ill-fated
steamer, and he was man who could
i'll be spared from our State. He was
a man of marked ability, and has filled
with conspicuous success the numerous
public positions to which he has been
called. He was but in the beginning of
a career of great promise His genial
manner with all his associates, his
generous nature, his strong, manly
qualities, have endeared him to a wide
sincerely mourn his untimely death.
