BY THOMAS MARC PARROTT. PH. D. The art of fiction had fallen very low In England when Charles Dickens appeared upon the scene. Scott's enormous success with the historical novel had given a great Impulse to the production of romantic fic tion. The old realism of Fielding and Smollett was submerged In a flood of pseudo-romances. Action took the place of character, and a more or less exciting i- T. -.,L.. ..rin t o ,i4- story deafened the reader to the creak ". .V" Mr. rJ. -" VEC .r. ifw was made to his sympathies It was either for somt charming devil of a criminal or for some fashionably cynical dandy. Such were the works of Aineworth and G. P. R. James, and the earlier novels of Bulwer and Disraeli, Humor, too, had departed along with the realism to which It cllnge, and Its place had been usurped by the coarse and boisterous farce of Theodore Hook and Pierce Egan. English fiction, as a T'hole, had lost its grasp on life and gone astray after false gode. The great achievement of Dickens was to re call the ar; to its true domain, and by the force of his fun, his sentiment and his power of character portrayal to give it a hold upon the hearts of the public such ao earlier novelist had never dreamed of. Dlckcnn' Enrly Life. The early life and associations of Charles Dickens were well fitted to bring him Into touch with 'the realities of existence and to open his eyes to the lights and shadows of the great actual world that lay wait ing to be revealed In art. He was the second child of a poor gentleman in the Xavy Pay Office, the prototype of Mlcaw ber, always in financial distress, alwajo hopeful that something would turn up. His mother, apparently a faded beauty of the Mrs. Nickleby type, struggled ln vain against the accumulating troubles of the family. The crash came at last, and the whole household, with the excep tion of the two elder children, who were otherwise provided for, fought shelter from the duns behind the walls of the liarshalsea. In the few happy years of his earlier childhood Dickens had been, In his own words, n very queer small boy, quick, eager, delicate, and soon hurt physically or mentally. He took no part In the sports of his boy friends, but read for hours, filling his heaa with .the novels of the last century, "Roderick Random" and "Tom Jones" and "Robinson Crusoe" and "The Vicar of Wakefield." But with his fathers Imprisonment, the little man of 12 years wap launched upon the world of London. A place in a cousin's blacking factor' was secured for him, with a wage of 6 shillings a week, and he was left to shift for himself. Every Sunday, indeed, he visited his parents, but for six days of the wefk he wan alone In London, hun gry. Ill-clothed and uncared for. Strang est of all. his parents appeared quite sat isfied. "They could hardly have been more eo," said Dickens years after, "if 1 had been 20 years of age, distinguished at a grammar school and going to Cam bridge." Release came, however; the doors of the prison opened, a legacy fell In and the boy got a few years of very old-fashioned schooling, from which he passed on with a smattering of Latin and a very thorough knowledge of the school boy heart and of the manners and customs of schoolmasters. His next step was Into a lawyer's offlc, but he had neither the 'money nor the backing to pursue the law. Again he moved on, bearing with him an unparal leled knowledge of the legal world. He became a reporter, raised himself by in defatigable labor to a certain reputation as one of the very best stenographers of his day, and plunged Into the world of Journalism. He wrote on his knres ln the gallery of the House of Commons, on his feet In a "preposterous pen In, the House of Lords," and this was before, the days of the telegraph dashed madly over Mrs. Charles Dickens. the country to attend elections, report ad dresses and carry his notes back to the press ln London. He once said: "I do verily believe I have been upset ln almost every description of vehicle known ln this country. I have been be lated lr miry by-roads In the small hours, 40 or 5C miles from London, with exhaust ed horses and drunken postboys, and have got back In time for publication." Again a new world of the hustings, the country Inns and the vanished race of coachmen and postilion?, which he was to Immortalize in his novels. His First Publications. All this was excellent training, but now his real work was to begin. His first story, "Mr. Minns and His Cousin," sub mitted with fear and trembl'ng and joy fully wept over when It appeared in all the glory of print, came out in the old Monthly Magazine In 1S31. It was fol lowed by a number of tales and sketches ln this periodical and in the Evening Chronicle. These are the now famous "Sketches by Boz." They brought him at first -little money and a very slight In crease of reputation, but as we look back we see ln them the whole of Dlckeno lj-ing undeveloped as the oak within the acorn. Here Is his wonderful microscopic observation of life, his rollicking flow o animal spirits, his hatred of social sham and official formalism, his sympathy with the poor and afflicted, his sentiment, his pathos and his humor. One thing alone Is lacking his power of characterization. No personage of these sketches had vi tality enough to win a place among the Immortal characters- of fiction, but this is done to the limitations of space: breathing room is needed for the development of a Sam Wellcr. a Pecksniff or a MIcawber. In his next work Dlcken secured the necessary space. The "Pickwick Paper." a? all the world knows, were originally de igned a- the letter-press for a series of pictures ridiculing the cockney sports men. But the genius of Dickens asserted Itself, and even before the artist's death the pictures had sunk to the second place. On tho other hand, the characters which Dickcni had created grew and shaped themselves In his hands, and the series of comic sketches became the book we all know. "Pickwick" is not a novel: It Is one of th great unclassified books of English lit erature. It has. of course, reminiscences of tho older novelists, of Smollett in par ticular but how much cleaner and sweeter Is its fun! There Is practically no plot: the circumstances of composition .forbad any preconceived design on the author's part. - But It has what Is better than tho best plot ever planned life.

His First" Sovcl. j "Oliver Twist" to Dckens' first novel, and we flnd ln " fuy developed two traits that were to continue throughout his work. The frst was what we may call ClVW I in n w mnmi r vfmr "l CHARLES DICKENS IX 1S44. his radicalism. In the preface to the "Chimes" he declared It his wlch and hope "to strike a blow for the poor." And this purpose runs through nearly all hIJ work after "Pickw'ck." He is an ad vocate pleading at the bar of the English nation the cause of those who were suf fering under the conditions of the time. Dickens was by no means a democrat. He declared that he had Infinitesimal faith in the people governing and llllmitab.e faith J .n the people governed. But he was a re former of the old school, practical, ener getic, sympathizing deeply with every form of social distress, hating intensely every form ef social oppression. With Dickens the heart was always developed at the expense of the head, and we find in his work no underlying Ideas of social reform. He attacked existing abuses and demanded their Immediate abolition, but he offered no substitute except such as might be found In the personal activity of such men as the Cheeryble "brothers or the reformed Scrooge. In "Oliver Twist" Dickens denounced the whole English sys tem of organized charity, detestable to him for Its -neglect of the human element and Its exaggeration of method and ma chinery, and ln Bumble he has pilloried for all time the representative of this system. Naturally enough a note of ex aggeration, heard here for the first time, runs through all this work of Dickens. A reformer is not apt to be distinguished for his Impartiality. And when a re former Is also a satirist, with a marked turn for caricature, when his favorlto method of attack Is to make an abuse so ridiculous that men will laugh It out of existence, there can be no question of photographic realism. There Is a sense. Indeed, ln which Dickens Is a realist, but his realism never stood In the way of his love for reform. The second trait which appears ln this book is a distinct tendency toward the theatrical, even the melodramatic Dickens was from his youth a passionate lover of the stage. While a lawyer's clerk l.e spent evening after evening ln the pit. Later he actually proposed to go upon the stage, and was apparently prevented from making the trial only by an accident. In middle life he found his chief delight in amateur theatricals, and of his fa mous readings Carlyle said: "He is a whole tragic, comic, heroic theater visi ble." In the meet effective ot these read ings, the death of Nancy, he rose to the full height of tragic melodrama. Inevita bly this tendency of his nature Influenced his work, and It cannot be said to have influenced It for good. It filled his books, with figures that belong upon the board, rather than ln real life or serious art the stage villain (Monks In "Oliver Twist" Is the earliest and crudest specimen of this type), the distressed damsel, the In jured heir and the long-lost child. It led him at times to disregard consistency of character and probability of action. Oliver himself, for example. Is a quite Impossi ble character, and the coincidences of his career are simply incredible. It caused him to Indulge ln an even-handed distrl- John Dickens, Father of Charles. button of reward and punishment such as Is seldom met with In this poor world. And finally, and worst of all. it pushed his real sense of pathos Into a sentimentality that sometimes borders upon the maudlin. The death ot little Nell reminds us too strongly of the last gasps and subsequent apotheoses of the hundreds of little Evaa who go barnstorming through the land. "Oliver Twist" Is In a sense a criminal romnnce; but It If elevated far above the common run of such stories by the writer's championship of virtue: "I had read of thieves by the score," says Dicltens la the preface to this novel, "seductive fellows (amiable for the most part) ... and fit companions' for the bravest. But I had never met (except In Hogarth) with the miserable reality. It ! 8uch associates In crime aa really do exist, to paint them In all their deformity. In I All their wretcneaness. in ail me squai.a Poverty of their lives. . . . forever skulking uneasily through the dirtiest paths of life, with the great, black, ghast ly gallows closing up their prospect; . . . It appeared to me that to do this would be ... a service to society. And there fore I did It as bst I could." These sound, of course, like the. words of an uncomprom'sing realist, and Dick ens was never that. Even In hla attempt to show the revolting nature of crime by painting It in its true colors he used the artist's privilege ot selection, and suppres cion. The language, for example, of hi thieves and vagabonds Is purely fictitious. and the thoroughgoing ontlmlsm of his nature led him to dwell with delight upon thc soul of goodness ln things evil and to set the truth and pity of the wretched Nancy shining like a star against the gloomy background of a Fagln and a Sykes.

Referring to your timely and thoughtful comments, editorially, ln yesterday's Ore gonlan. regarding shipment ot horses and other animals to Cape Nome, the writer desires to make known the following statements, that the public may know thnt the Oregon Humane Society Is and has for many years past been fully alive to the proper and humane manner ln which animals should be shipped from and to this port. It has had supervision over the transportation of poultry, cattle, sheep and other animals within the state, and has the satisfaction of knowing that a marked Improvement has been effected through the watchful efforts of Us officers. The first large shipment of horses from this port was on the transport Lennox, bound for Manila. Nearly 40) horses were taken aboard, under the supervision of Dr. Knepper, veterinary surgeon, who was fully ln sympathy with the work of our society, and extended to our officers the privilege of inspection pertaining to the provisions made for th comfort of the large number of horses destined fcr a voyage of SOOO miles. We found sepa rate stalls well padded and provided with swings for the support and rest of each animal; also, abundance of fresh water and food, comparing favora'jly with that provided for the attendants and crew. Fans were distributed In various parts of the ship, capable of providing thorough ventilation day and night to the patient creatures destined to participate In the discomforts and slaughter ln battle ln a far-away country. As a result of these Intelligent provisions but few horses on the Lennox failed to reach their destina tion in fair condition. Very different circumstances attended the loading of the barge Skookum at Seat tle. Being Informed of the facts ln the base regarding the great number of cattle and other anjmals crowded upon the deck of the barge destined for a- voyage of nearly 4000 miles. I Immediately wrote to the secretary of the Seattle Humane So ciety, asking that steps be taken to pre vent the sailing of the craft under such conditions. A reply was received stating that warrants had been sworn out by Judge Roger S. Greene, president of the Seattle Society for the Prevention of Cru elty to Animals, which resulted In un loading the barge and placing a largo number of the animals on other vessels. The Oregonlan says: "Agents of a hu mane society have constabulary and Judi cial power to effect something ln the premises, but there Is no likelihood ot help from such a source, for obvious rea sons." We reply that we fall to note what these reasons are, and state that nothing was attempted or done to alle viate the suffering of brute creatures or human beings either on land or on the sea, until humane societies became fac tors In directing and demanding rights for brute creatures and better treatment for children and all mankind. Humane societies exercise a careful Inspection and supervision over the transportation of animals, and no vessel Is permitted to leave any port ln the United States with livestock aboard that does not pass under the careful Inspection of officers of hu mane societies, who are known to be faithful, and challenge any dereliction ln the discharge of their duties. Of all societies serving ln the Interests of the public, not one stands out more clearly without censure or distrust than the great and world-wide Institutions bearing the name of humane societies. They of all others stand fearless before the public, performing duties, not only In the prevention of cruelty and crime, but earnestly, brjnglng to Justice the perpe trators of acts of cruelty upon dumb ani mals and defenseless children. Every complaint, however trivial, placed before, our society receives prompt at tention, and should we pub'Ish through the press the various complaints of dally occurrence coming under th supervision of our society, we feel confident a greater appreciation and regard for our constant efforts would soon be made manifest and a far better support awarded.

FhII Cargro ef Basra From Calcutta Well- KHOirn Ships Changing: Hands. The Russlaa ship Sylfld, after over a week's delay,- ln the lower harbor, at last got to sea yesterday morning. Like the Dovenby Hall, this ship was offered men a a reasonable figure ln Portland, and had she shipped her crew ln this city, "would have been out of the river a week ago. Since that time men have been scattering out to the country, and it Is more difficult to pick up a crew. The condition of affairs is much the same in San Francisco, flour-loaded ships lying ln the stream -at the Bay city all of last week, awaiting crews. The Brltisa ship Allerton arrived down at Astoria yester day afternoon, having made very gnod time down the river. sSne did not leave Portland until Monday evening, and an chored over night. The Ocklahama, which hr doing such lively work ln towing ships, left up at 5:2) with the PInmore, so that Portland will enter the last month of the season with a fleet of eight ships ln port. Of these, the St. MIrren may finish en the last of the month, but will probably go-over until the next month. The Brtllsh bark East African Is still ln th'e custody of the United States Mar shal. Her ballast Is all out. and she Is lined ready to receive wheal, but noth ing will be dono with her so long at thero Is litigation hanging over her. The Lyd gate, which has been ln the river only about a week. Is having very good dis patch. Nearly all of her ballast is out. and she has received about 1000 tons of stiffening. SHIPPING SALES. Several Well - Konwn Old - Timers Chnnge Hands. The British ship Glenelvan, which has just sailed from British Columbia for Eu. rope, has been sold to the Germans fct 16,500 pounds. The Glenbreck, also a well-known vessel ln North Pacific ports, has been sold to A. Weir & Co., of Glas gow, for 15,000. The Bversham Abtey, built In Liverpool ln 1S76, has been sold to the Germans for 6S00. Other sales of vessels well known In Portland were the Oaklands, a small Iron bark, built In 1876, to the Norwegians, at 3SX); the Bren da, to the Germans, for 5500. The di minutive Doxford, ' one of the old-timers here, was also sold a few weeks ago. Shares ln other well-known vessels In this trade were sold as follows: One-sixty, fourth In the Iron ship Eurasia, for 230; two-sixty-fourths ln the steel bark Lorton for 230; four-slxty-fourths ln the bark Irledale for 00; seven-sixty-fourths ln the steel ship Lonsdale for 910; one-sixty-fourth In the steel ship Foyledaie for 115; and one 100 share ln the sailing ship Lyderhorn Company, Ltd., for 27 10s. WEN'DUR IS DUE. Bae Ship Is Tfovr Ont 120 Days From Calcutta With a Fnll Cargo. The Calcutta bag ship Wendur Is out 120 days today, with a big cargo of grain bags and burlap for this port. Four months Is about the average passage from Calcutta to Portland, and, accordingly, the big vessel may be looked for at any time. The remarkable long passage ot the bag ship Macduff last season attract ed so much attention that even the in. terior papers showed some Interest in t-hlp-plng matters, and have not yet forgotten the circumstance. They have already commenced speculating on the arrival of the ship, and some ot them Intimate that grain bags will be very cheap If the Wen dur reaches port when sheMs due. While grain bags will probably be much low than they were last year. If the present crop conditions continue, they are pot liable to go much below present prices, and If the Wendur Is as long on the way as the Macduff, they will show a material advance. German Discrimination. Tho resolution adopted by the Reichs tag forbidding subsidized steamers from carrying to German, Belgian and Dutch ports agricultural products that compete with those of Germany, certain excep tions being made, looks like another at tempt to Injure our export business, iajs the New York Journal of Commerce. It Is not quite certain that It amounts to this. The German steamers that come to this country are not subsidized; the fa3t ones receive postal compensation: this may or may not be treated as a subsidy. But plenty of freight steamers do not carry the malls, and would not be affected at all by the restriction. It may soothe the feelings of the German landowner to realize that the steamer which he is taxed to subsidize cannot be employed in pro moting foreign competition with him. But a restriction on the cargoes of one class of steamers, not applicable to others, would be of no practical effect In keeping foreign products out of the country Capital Stock Increased. TRENTON, N. J., May 29. Papers were filed here today Increasing the capital stock of the American Hawaiian Steam ship Company from $750,000 to $1,500,000. Marine Notes. Tlje steamer Columbia is due from San Francisco this morning. The Inverness, from Muroran, is also due today. The T. J. Potter will make three round trips between Portland and Riveniew cemetery today. The cargo of the Lizzie Bell is coming out of the vessel In very bad al'ape. and the underwriters may have quite a bill to foot for damaged cargo.

Pretty nearly all the hair preparations for dandruff have some merit In allaying itching of the scalp, and ln being a fairly good dressing for the hair, but there is only one that recognises what causes dan druff, falling hair, and baldness and that destroys that cause, a itltle germ and that is Newbro's Herpicide. Th.s germ eats its way into the scalp, down to the hair root, where it saps that vitality, causing dan druff as it digs up the acalp into little white scales. Unless it la destroyed there s no permanent stopping of falling hair and cure of dandruff and baldness. Newbro's Herp'clde kills the germ, -destroy the cause, you remove the effect.
