Paul's Dying Pean.

The prison doors are about to swing
open and Paul IS about to be led forth
to execution by means Of the sword In
the hands of the lictor. His life is about
to be launched like a ship into the sea
OF an unknown world. The shadows Of
death have fallen round about him. but
the light OF ChrIst's face is still shining
into his soul. He is not man that has
lost hope for himself or his cause His
last song Is not a song of despair but
q song OF victory. His condition is alb
1ect indeed. He is a neglected prisoner
In the deep. dark, damp. and lower dun
geon of the Msmertine prison at Rome.
He had been sud- emily arrested, it seems.
at Troas In Asia Minor, and hurriedly
transported to Rome TO be tried there
for his life as the most conspicuous
leader Of the Christians. who. at this
time, had been accused of burning the
city by the monstrOUs tyrant Nero, who,
history says. burnt Rome himself TO see
e great bonfire. and in order to shield
himself from the consequent wrath of the
populace. laid the crime against the
Christians and had them slaughtered In
great numbers after devising all kinds
of hendish tortures for them for the
sport Of himself and the citizens OF the
imperial city. Paul fell a victim TO this
the first imperial persecution of Chris
tiaDs by the Roman civil government,
Rome was burned in A. D. GA. Paul was
probably beheaded in A d. GO.
Having a presentiment that his earthly
end was near. the great apostle makes
as Il we're, his last will and testament
TO the world as a guide to his successors
I'm the faith OF Christ. as recorded in
our lesson today. This passage is prob
ably the most touching and solemn OF

INSANE INDIANS.

The government has established a
hospital for Indians at Canton, South
Dakota, and Indians from all parts of
the country will be sent there. If
such an institution had been estab--
lished many years ago, it would prob
ably have saved many senseless In
dian wars, indians, When crazy, often
assume the role of prophets and big
medicine men, and the disposition of
the Indian character is to believe in
such missions. The ghost dances were
inspired by crazy Indians; no one but
an insane person would believe in
the mission of that young Indian who
claimed that he carried a sword that
would turn aside all the white bullets
that were directed toward him. Yet
this crazy Indian melted a revolt that
cost many lives and many thousands
OF dollars. 1t will now be in order,
when an Indian claims that he has re.
ceived a special message from the
Great Spirit, to send him to Canton,
where he will either be cured in a
short time or rendered harmless.

PEACE PROBABLE FOR vENE.
ZUELA.

Mr. Bowen, American minister for
Venezuela, and who has been COM
missioned by that government to rep
resent Its interests at conference
with the powers Interested, in Wash
ington, seems certain that an arrange
ment will be made soon to bring about
peace Minister Bowen says: Il
have good reasons to believe that the
pending controversy between the
three allied powers and Venezuela.
will be settled soon and satisfactor-
ily."
Venezuela seems to be willing to
make an adjustment of the foreign
claims, but rightfully declares that
there shall be no preferred creditors
This seems to be a very reasonable
proposition. The English government
shows a disposition to treat on lib
eral terms and Italy will no doubt fol-
low Great Britain in this regard.
Germany, however, is the recalcitrant
spirit in the controversy, and has
been from the start This DISPOSE
ton toward war has no doubt been in
creased by the result of the attack on
the Venezuelan fort at ST. Carlos,
where the three German warships
were repulsed by the mud batteries
of the South Americans. The Ger
mans have had comparatively little
experience in naval actions during the
existence of the present empire and
1t is the special desire of the Kaiser
to impress the world with German
valor on sea as well as upon land.
This, however, England will not al
low, at the expense of British honor
and fair dealing.
1t now seems probable there will
be a strong pressure brought to bear
upon Germany in order to influence
that government to place it's claims on
an equal footing with Great Britain
, and Italy and this will at once bring
about peaceful arrangement.

PANAMA TRIuMPHs.

After all the fears, doubts and spec
ulations that were expressed in regard
to the Panama canal project, the
treaty betwene the United States and
Colombia was signed January % in
Washington. Secretary Hay signed
for the United States and DR.. Herran,
on the part of Colombia. The negoti-
ations have been prolonged, not only
on account of the many details that
deserved due consideration, but
through the efforts of enemies of
Colombia and friends of the Near
aguan scheme, who nave thrown ev-
cry possible obstacle in the way of
the Panama project. 1t is understood
that Colombia made all essential
concessions to the United States in
the price and by way of the annual
rental of the strip of territory along
each side of the canal right of way.
1t was indispensable to the United
States that it's terms should be COM.
piled with, especially that which re-.
ferred to the government of the strip
of territory in the right of way
There can be no such thing as di.
vided sovereignty in matters of this
sort, and Mr.. Hay has been especially
careful in this respect, in framing the
treaty SO that the local Colombian
government and other nations will
have no chance for appeal or demur--
rage, in case the United States au.
thorities decided against them or
their supposed interests. There is a
