LESSON NOTES.
The New Governor, Festus.-24:27.
After Paul had lain in prison for two
years Felix was removed on account OF
grave complaints of his conduct and
Porcius Festus was appointed in his
stead. Festus was q much better man
than Felix.
Paups Address.-26: 1923. Festus and
his brilliant court, King Agrippa, Queen
Bernice, the principal officers of the
troops quartered at Cesarea and the
most influential of the civilmagistrates,
were gathered together. Festus arose
and stated the object of their coming to-
gether. The prisoner had been We
hemently accused as one worthy OF
death. He had appealed to Cesar and
must be sent to Rome. But Festus, not
being well acquainted with Jewish laws
end customs. could not make out any
definite charge against him that would
be a reasonable excuse for sending him
as a prisoner to Rome. Paul began his
address with his usual polished cour-
tesy. He we'll knew that an awkward
and rusty weapon was of no advantage
to the Christian warrior. Then for the
third time in she Acts is related the
~
change wrought in himself by Jesus
Christ.
10. "Whereupon," after hearing the
call, II was not disobedient unto the
Heavenly vision:" Yet the seeming cost
and the struggle were very great.
20. But showed first unto them of
Damascus" Immediately after his con-
version. Then after two or three years
he returned to Damascus and preached
again. "And at Jerusalem:" For q
brief time, going there from Damascus.
He also visited there, and of course
preached at other times. Throughout
all the coasts (borders) of Judea:" The
exact time of this preaching is not
known, as no record is given of it. But
there was abundant opportunity for it
between A. d. 40, when Paul left Jeru-
salem, and A. D. 4s, when he began his
first missionary journey. "And then to
the Gentiles" over a large part of the
known world. THAT they should re-
pent," the first, deep. essential duty.
An Interruption by Festus.-Vs. "a.
rs. "a. ''Festus said with q loud voice
of establishment and positive assurance.
Paul, thou are beside thyself:" Thou
art mad, insane; the same word that Is
translated mad in the next verse;
rs. IT am not mad:" Paul speaks for
himself, and lets Festus make the aPpli-
cation for himself. but speak forth
the words Of truth and soberness:'
From Festus' standpoint, that OF world
illness, the words of Paul were the fan
cies of a crazy, unbalanced brain; bu,
from PauPs standpoint. that OF eterna
life and spiritual life, they were simply
true and earnest.

WARS HORROR.
Women and Old Men, All Pacif-
COS, Forced to Work
In Repairing the Wagon Roads, By
the Side of Common Criminals,
Who Have Been Sentenced TO Hard Labor
Many Are Starving to Death in IA Condi-
tion of Slavery-Others Commit Sui
eide to Escape Further Torture.

New York, Oct. 6.-The Suns lla-
vana correspondent sends the follow
ing:
One thousand and seventy women and
l4O old men, all paciticos, have becu
forced by the Spaniards to go to work
repairing the wagon road from Matan-
sas City to Bellamar. They are work
ng by the side of common criminals
who have been sentenced to hard
abor, and they receive worse treat
nent than the criminals The con-
victs are fed by the Spanish govern
ment. The pacihcos are not Gov.
Porcet, of Matanzas, has promised 20
spanish cents day to the women and
ten cents to the men, but even this
paltry sum, inadequate as it would be
for their sustenance, is not paid to
them.
They are starving to death in con-
1ition of slavery. Refusal to work
means heavy cerpore al punishment, or
even death. Their situation is so dis
tressful, n letter from Matanzas says,
that before starting to work in Bella
mar every morning many of the wom-
en- commit suicide by drowning them
selves in the San Juan river.
In Havana similar brutality is daily
witnessed, while the pockets of the
Spanish officials are overloaded with
gold. Every day hundreds of pacificos
arrive at the capital to die of hunger
in the streets, and the spectacle is the
most appalling that can be imagined.
1t is not true, as the Spanish allege,
that the insurgent general, Mayia
Rodriguez, has recently been defeated.
He is cncamped at Iona del Hambre,
Havana, with a strong force, and the
Spanish columns have not disturbed
him.
The town of San Juan, in Pinar del
Rio, has been attacked and partly de-
stroycd by the patriots. So has the
town of Quemado de Guines, Santa
Clara, where the patriots were led to
the attack by Col Robau. The same
patriot leader had a fierce engagement
on Saturday at Iona Bonita with a
Spanish column, and heavy losses re-
suited on both sides.
In Santiago de Cuba province the
war is waging hotly. Details received
here of the latest fight at Socorro say
that the Spanish attempted to send re-
Inducements to their column from
Songo, but were checked by the Gu
bans and compelled to retire to the
town.
The small town of Carraza, near the
Jucaro- Moron trocha, has been de-
stroyed by the Cubans. The Spanish

Cuba.
Many merchants, mostly Spaniards,
of the town of Calbarien, Havana, have
been arrested for aiding the revolu-
ton. A Spanish column at Cayo
Conuco, near Caibarien, found some
boxes of provisions and arms that had
been sent to the patriots by these rner-
chants.

contemplating an investigation of certain
claims is often sufficient to set busy
bodies at work to break up the deal Pos
sibly that may not be the enc in view,
but the effect is the same. Mention of
mine or mining locality elicits from
men, whose actual ignorance in the
premises is exceeded only by their will
ingness to talk, sneers at the mine, at
the mineral region, or at the mine own
ers. Such people cry down the resour-
ces of their country and its possibilities,
and try in every way to throw cold water
on proposed enterprises. All this is
done even though their own interests
would be promoted by the success OF the
enterprise they condemn, and even
though there is no reason of self-interest
or honest warming in what they say.

Their existence hinders the invest
ment of capital and gives the whole
community an undeserved black eye.
The proper course for them to pursue, if
they can see nothing to commend and
everything to condemn, is to get out and
infest some other neighborhood. Those
who begrudge neighbor's prosperity
which does not injure them have no
place in any civilized community. In
stead of being helps in its Development
they are hindrances, and can well be
spared.

There is, unfortunately, good reason
why mining men with good prospects
often see fit to conceal the facts. Many
have learned by practical experience the
truth of this passage from recent pub
lication:
Talk means discussion, discussion
means irritstion, irritation means oppo-
sition, and opposition means hindrance
always, whether you are right or wrong.
The poor man who finds a good pros
pect is compelled through his poverty
to talk about it. He must have tools
and he must have food and he must
have credit. Forced by necessity to
talk. the minute he does talk be is often
set upon by genteel highwaymen and if
he does not "stand and. deliver" he is
blackmailed into litigation, leeched till
he is boodless, his creditors are infiu-
enced to shut off his supplies and he is
subjected to annoyances and torments
as devilish to his peace OF mind as were
the screws and racks of the lnquistlon
to the body of the victim.

COMMENTS ON MINING.

DIR. Jackman goes around with simle
on his face like boy who knows that
Santa Claus is only few days journey
away and will bring him just such
things as he has waited and wished for
during the year. And of course We
wanted to know all about it and the
mine that We opined was the cause of all
the smiles. We cannot get mining news
enough to satisfy the public who keep
calling for more. In this matter a con-
temporary says:
Once in a while there is growl be-
cause capital is not forthcoming to de-
velop their mines. How is the public to
know they have any mines to develop?
All of/whief Is commended to the
consideration Of mine owners and pros
pectors.

Every newspaper takes pleasure in

Every newspaper takes pleasureEi in
publishing reliable mining news. For
ourselves, all information showing pro-
gress of mining work, development,
discoveries, improvements, sales or any
facts of general interest, are most will
ingly given. Mining men outside look
for such items, and every paragraph
having any real news value in this line
and appearing in any paper is repub-
lished far and wide. The editor can give
only such items as reach him. II any
good property remains unknown, it is
because the owner, by intention or
otherwise, fails to let the newspaper
know.

The litigation over the Ora mine has
cost this community, our business men
and every mine owner in that district,
what would be a surprising amount if it
could be reckoned in money. 1t crushed
number of prospectors, plunged them
into financial disaster, took from them
their last dollar and forced them to
leave the camp. If they discovered val
liable properties others who can better
afford to wait will reap the benefit OF the
prospectors knowledge and toll. Who
can say today what influence the Ora
would have had on the mines in that
district had the owners oil the Ora been
permitted to throw the information in
their possession wide open' to the
world. Under favorable conditions what
might have been accomplished in few
months will now take as many years.

While the working of mine is pure
ly private business, yet the public feels
Il direct interest in it. The development
of paying property has an influence on
the community prosperity. Mining ne
tivity means corresponding activity in
