Dissatisfaction Mt HOiguin Over Ces-
satiOn of Public Work.

Col. Hood cables from Holguin to Santiago,
Cuba. that intense excitement prevails there.
owing to the cessation of the public works,
and that mass meeting has been held. at
which the action of the United States mil
itary authorities al Havana was condemn
ed as false economy and as the result
Of centraiiZst ton"
Owing TO the pressing necessities of the
case. Col Hood says he has issued rations
to 5000 heads of INDECENT families suddenly
thrown out of employment. He fears there
will be a large increase in the criminal
classes of his district.
Practically the same news from all the
other districts Of Santiago province has
reached hare. Meanwhile money enough
is lying idle in bank to pay all that Is due
and TO keep the men at work.
Col. Hood requests the use of the former
Spanish gunboat Baracoa, recently raised
by the Americans. as a lighthouse tender.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press at Santiago writes under date Of
February Is:
The complexion of political affairs in the
province of Santiago has been gradually
Changing since the beginning of January.
This is due to more than one cause, but
the main reason Is probably the fact that
the people themselves are out or sympathy
with anything, even benefactlon that
comes to them through Havana. Men who
a few short weeks ago were enthusiasticai-
ly in favor of annexation are today talking
about declaring war against tHe = itee"
States II the troops are not removed from
the island by July l.
The business men of Santiago are very
glun over the condition of affairs, and say
that it Is Impossible for peope to invest
any large sums of money in the island until
some settled form of government is estab-
liShed. and that for Cuba to be an indie
pendent republic would mean the utter
ruin of the island. even supposing that the
Cubans were better able to govern them
selves than any people in the world, for at
one blow the sugar industry would be an
initiated. as the United States is in pos
session of Porto Rico on the one side and
of Hawaii on the other. which are also two
great sugar-producing islands. and the sils-
ar from those places would go into the
United States free of duty, whereas. even
on the best terms, the sugar of Cuba, un-
less the island was annexed. would have
to pay some duty. and would be entirely
unable to compete with that of the other
Islands.

THOUGHTS FOR BUSY MEN.

Christian Science teaches how
TO live, not how to die.
If there were no sick thoughts
there would be no sick bodies.
Don't reject anything good just
because it is old. Nothing is older
than truth.
Endeavor each day to bring a
little more of Heaven Harmony
into the lives of those about you.
This is the highest form of Christ
ian Endeavor.
When mankind understands and
practices Christian Science, the
jails, asylums and hospitals will be
empty and stay so. This eau also
be said of true Christianity and
that is just what Christian Science
is.
The mind that habitually sends
forth thoughts of goodness and
love is like battery of guns using
smokeless powder. The effect is
seen and felt but whence ii
comes you cannot tell; there is this
difference, however, the guns have
to be aimed and sometimes miss.
Good thoughts do neither.

Lyman Abbott says: Il have

believing something about God, or
thinking about God, but in tryinl,
to live the divine life. Religion
is simply the art of living not
even the art of right living. for
living that i s otright living is the
beginning of death Religion
means for the merchant, honesty,
for the journalist, truthfulness, for

These notes will appear in THE TRIBUNE on
"Wednesday of each, week, and are compiled by
a member of First Church OF Christ, Scientist
of Florence. They not intended to repre-
sent the views or opinions OF the management
of this paper.
Anyone will admit that a man
can worry himself sick. Brain
disease, insomnia. fevers, hysteria,
insanity and other like disorders
IRE now recognized by the medical
fraternity as the results of exces-
,ive worry, apprehension or fear
In other words, their cause is men
tai. This is admitted by all ra-
tional people regardless of medical
affiliations or religious beliefs. 1t
is so apparent that no physicians
diploma is required to discover it.
Now, if the condition of ones
mind causes certain forms of bod
lily sickness, which we all recognize,
is it not-reasonable TO look for
mental cause at the bottom of other
diseases? If worry brings one
kind of sickness, might not malice
bring another? If one woman is
known to be i'll because of anxiety.
night not her neighbor's illness be
caused by envy? If the doctor
tells one man that threatened brain
fever cannot be averted unless he
gives less anxious thought to his
business, might he not discover
hat another's inflammation is due
20 excessive anger, or some other
specially discordant mental coudi-
ion?
The disciples of materia medica
have so long believed that physical
fleets come from physical causes
that they are reluctant to admit
my other diagnosis of disease as
being correct. However, all doc
tors are not fossils or bigots, and
,ne can note a marked tendency
among the advanced members of
the profession to give closer atten-
,ion to the condition of the patients
mind, urging cheerfulness, calm
aess, hope, etc. Less medicine
md more good cheer seems to
characterize the methods of the
most successful practitioners of
today.
. Christian Science cures, not by
loctoring the body, but by trent
ing the mind 1t teaches conclu-
sively that mental cause is back
of every discordant physical con-
dition, and that ignorance of the
law governing them is the reason
that mankind has not heretofore
recognized such causes. These
causes are not always apparent.
They are often deepseated and of
long standing, and it is only
thro ugh the exercise of higher
power than that of human mind
that they are uncovered and de-
stroyed in Christian Science.
Christian Science differs from
every form of mental healing, in
asmuch as it is not based on the
power of one mans mind over an
others. Hypnotism, Mental Sci.
cnce, etc, may be SO desert bed.
but not Christian Science. 1t rec
ognizes only the one power and
that is God-Good The Scien-
tist merely reflects this power, as
mirror reflects the sun, and to do
this he must strive to live up to its
teachings, wherein purity of
thought and action, unselfishness.
humility and good will to man are
essential. Hence children are fire.
