Sin refused. “Then Daniel... .said .. .Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another” (v. 17). In his person Daniel was fair, well-favored; the admiration of Ashpenaz, Melzar and Arioch, the object of their tender re­ gard. In his demeanor courteous, digni­ fied, deferential, reverent and respectful, in liis character abstemious, serious, de­ vout, courageous, unblemished in pri­ vate life, incorruptible in public office; a pattern of faith, prayer, wisdom, holi­ ness and righteousness; * ’ * - - ments skilled ter than all ogers” (Dan. king’s realm. II. Severe a __ ____ __ _ bled thine heart, though thou knewest all this” (v. 22). Daniel had the cour­ age to tell the king the truth. Preacher and prophet should “reprove, rebuke, ex­ hort with all long-suffering” (2 Titus, 4, 2). Some years ago a prominent London brewer, who, strange to say, was a well-known philanthropist, wrote to Prof. W. G. Blackie for a subscrip­ tion for the Reformatory Union. The good man replied with some pointed questions and added, “I humbly believe that your gin palaces are tumbling in­ to the gutter more human creatures than all the reformers of the kingdom are picking out.” The beer brewer re­ turned a touching letter begging the professor to pray for him. III. Sentence revealed. “Mene: God hath numbered thy kingdom and finish­ ed it” (v. 26). The sinrul man shatl not live out half his days (Psa. 55, 23), for sin finished bringeth forth death (James 1: 15), and at death the sinner’s days are numbered * and finished. Tekel: “Thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting” (v. 27). Belshazzar was weighed. By his conscience—“his thoughts troubled him” (v. 6); by the example and punishment of his father, which should have been a warning to him (vs. 19-21); by the prophet, who dared to reprove the frightened mon- arch. (vs. 22,-23); by God, in the hand­ writing on the wall which pronounced his doom (vs. 25-28). He was weigh­ ed and found wanting. “Thou.... hast not humbled thine heart .... but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven.” (vs. 22, 23). Pride, lifting up self above God, is the opposite of hu­ mility. IV. Sovereign reward. “They clothed Daniel with purple and made a proclama­ tion concerning him” (v. 29, R. V.) Jesus said, ‘If any man serve me, him will my Father honor,” (John xii. 26). Joseph served God by blameless living, and God made him the second ruler in the kingdom and the preserver of his race; type of him who should die to save the world. Abraham served God by offering Isaac, and God made his off­ spring as the start of the skv and the sands of the sea. Moses served God by refusing worldly honor, and God made him the great emancipator, leader, law­ giver and historian and one of the com- figuration. David served God in fighting Goliath, and became forever the king of The disciples served Christ in a life of self-sacrifice, and shall sit on twelve thrones ruling the twelve tribes of Is- I rael. If we serve him he honors us by clothing us with the garments of salva­ tion (Isa. Ixi. 10). V. Swift retribution." “That night was Belshazzar............slain” (v. 30). That night of his feasting, drunkenness and profanity. While a desecrated vessel ; was still in his hand, and the praise of the false gods still on his lips, retribu- ‘ tion came. Sentence against an evil j work is not always speedily executed, ; for God is long-suffering; but frequently ! sin has been instantly punished, as in ! the case of Lot’s wife (Gen. xix. 26),! Gehazi II. Kings v. 27), Ananias and’ ,Sapphira (Acts v. 5-10), and Herod (Acts ' xii. 23). The warning is, “Take heed of • yourselves, lest at any time your hearts i be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness.............and so that day i come upon you unawares.” (Luke xxi. I 34). “For the day of the Lord so cometh ■ as a thief in the night. When they are Saying Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them .........and they shall in no wise escape” (I. Thess. V. 2, 3). Abbie C. Morrow. Daniel and Belshazzar— Dan. 5:17-30. Commentary.—I. The handwriting on the wall. Eelshazzar, only sixteen or seventeen years old, was the ruling king , in the city of Babylon. Secure within' his defences he felt confident of safety, • and therefore engaged in revelry at a feast which he made to a thousand of his lords. In his drunken folly and wickedness he called for the golderf and silver vessels which had been taken from the temple at Jerusalem, that he might drink from them as’ a token that his gods had given victory over the God of the Jews. During his pro­ fane revelry a hand appeared and wrote upon the wall. This filled the king with fears, and he declared that the wise man Who should interpret the meaning, should be clothed with scarlet and have a chain of gold, and be third ruler in the kingdom. When all had failed, the queen, mother of Belshazzar, came in and persuaded her son to send for Dan­ iel, to whom, when he came, the king re­ peated his promise made to the wise men. II. Daniel reproving the king (vs. 17- 24). 17. Let thy gifts be to thyself — Daniel as a prophet of God cares noth­ ing for any reward this young king can give, neither does he fear him. 18. The most high God—Whom Dan­ iel proclaimed as the only God, and whose power Nebuchadnezzar had recog­ nized in the deliverance of the Hebrews out of the furnace. Thy father—Grand­ father. Majesty—in the eyes of his sub­ jects. Glory. From his victories. Honor —From the enlargement and decora- tion of the city. 19. Whom he would he slew—In dis­ pensing punishments he condemned or acquitted at pleasure, and in dispens­ ing rewards he granted or denied pre­ ferments.—Com. Com. 20. Heart was lifted up—In pride and arrogance, wilful and obstinate. Deposed'-—This occurred not by rebellion of his people,, but by the direct visitation of God.—Bib. Mus. He became insane and the reins of gov­ ernment were taken out of his hands. —Clarke. 21. He was driven—The madness that fell upon him induced him to forsake society and to run into the woods and deserts, where he lived like a wild beast. His case seems much like that of the maniac in the gospel, whose dwelling was among the tombs and in the moun­ tains, and who shunned the society of men.—ibid. 22. Thou..hast not hum­ bled—Thou hast sinned, not through ignorance but through deliberate con­ tempt of God, regardless of all warn­ ing. 23. Against the Lord—As if thou : hadst been equal or even superior to . Him in wisdom and power.—Benson, | vessels of his house—“From the tern- i pie of Bel, where they have been trea- | sured up since the conqueror had car- ■ ried them from Jerusalem.” [ 24. hand sent from him—From God. ; This haughty young king lifted up his ; heart against God, and mocked Him I publicly; therefore the hand of God' was against his ways, and his doom was written by the finger of God. I III. Daniel interpreting the writing (vs. 25-28). 25. the writing—The words . were Aramaic, with letters like the He- j brew. Why could not the wise men read them? Perhaps they could read the I words, but were not able, or did not dare, ! to explain their meaning. 26. mene— ' This word is repeated to give emphasis. It comes from a word meaning to num- I her, to count. The days of the empire were counted out in full. The soldiers of the conqueror were awaiting outside and would destroy it before morning. ' 27. tekel—Which means weighed (hence a shekel, which was originally a certain ■ weight). It resembles a word which sig- I nified “light,” light of weight, like a I counterfeit coin. The application is that j Belshazzar had been weighed as to his ; moral character and actions, and had [ been found wanting, of light weight. He had not come up to the standard requir­ ed. God had tested him and he had fail- j ed.—Peloubet. 1 28. peres—This is the singular, while j upharsin is the plural of the same word [ with “u,” which means “and,” prefixed, f It is given in verse 25 in the plural, for ' emphasis, just as “mene” is doubled. It means divided, but has the same con- j sonants as Persians, and suggests them. ; —Ibid, is divided—Not divided into two • parts, but broken into pieces, destroyed. I —Keil. Medes—Media was a large coun- j try lying east of Assyria, north of Per- ; sia, and southwest of the Caspian Sea. ’ Persia was a smaller and more moun- i tainous country lying east of Chaldea, ! the Persian Gulf.—Todd. These na­ tions had been combined into one king­ dom by Cyrus. IV. Daniel rewarded (v. 29). 29. with scarlet, etc.—These carried with them rank and power, third ruler—Next to Eelshazzar who was second. Nabonidus, the king, was first. “Daniel could not refuse the offered honors without being suspected of treachery to Babylon. V. The king slain (v. 30). 30. in that night—It must be understood that the River Euphrates flowed through the midst of Babydcn. Cyrus for some time had been planning to draw away the water of the river, and enter the city ’ through the bed of the river. When ail ; was prepared he waited for the great ! feast. When it came all the leaders I were revelling in the palace. Elsewhere ! the population was occupied with feast- [ ing and dancing (Jer. 51:39). Drunken! riot and mad excitement held possession t of the town; the siege was forgotten ; [ ordinary precautions, as the closing of i j;he river gates (Issa. 45:1), were ne­ glected. The undefended gateways were seized; a war-shout was raised; the alarm was spread. The drunken revellers could make no resistance. The king, paralyzed with fear at the handwriting which had warned him of his peril, could do nothing to chetk the progress of the assailants, who carried all before them everywhere- Bursting into the palace, a band of Persians made their way into the presence of the king and slew him. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. The last charge against Eelshazzar was “The God in whose hand thy7 breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified” (v. 23). Our lesson brings us in sharp contrast a man who Glorified God and who did not. In it we see: I Demonstrated in Front of the Lower House at Budapest. in his attain- in learning “ten times oet- the magicians and astrol- 1, 20) that served in the reproof. “Hast not hum- Buda Pest, Hungary, Sept. 18.—Since early morning dense masses of working­ men have been marching to the Lower House of the Diet for the purpose of making a demonstration in favor of uni­ versal suffrage. Crowds composed of other classes also gathered, and strong cordons of police were posted near the building. Herr Julius Justh, President of the House, received the deputations, who presented petitions setting forth the demands of the people. In reply Herr Justh said his position as President of the House prevented him expressing an opinion, but he begged the people to wait quietly the decision of Parliament. Work is at a standstill in all th’e fac­ tories, as the workers are taking part in the demonstration. No disturbances had occurred up to the time this despatch was filed.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 18.—A letter ad­ dressed to President Roosevelt from W. J. Bryan, in which a plan for the pre­ vention of war is suggested, was made public last night. Mr. Bryan congratulates the President on bis success in bringing Russia and Japan together, and says: “Why not ask Congress for authority to submit all international questions (when agreement cannot be reached by parties interested), to an impartial board for investigation and report? Investigation will in nearly every case remove the cause of com­ plaint and reconcile the parties. Ques­ tions which they might be unwilling to submit to arbitration in advance could he settled by investigation by an impar­ tial international board. Do., CT(I Chickens, “It was a glorious thing to end the war between the Russians and the Jap­ anese, but it would have been more glor­ ious to have prevented the war and saved the frightful loss of life. The moral pTestige which our nation now enjoys would in all probability enable it to lead a successful peace movement. The con­ gratulations which you have received from the hands of European Govern­ ments strengthen the chances of success. If the leading nations of the world would enter into an agreement to join in the creation of such a board and pledge themselves to submit all disputes to the board for investigation before declaring the danger of war would be reduced to a minimum. “Few men have had it in their power to do so much fot huinanity.

The basis of the charge was an affida­ vit by Justice Deuel, stating that in a recent issue, the publication of which Mr. Hapgood is the editor, printed an article under the heading of Public Conscience, specifically charging Justice Deuel with violating his oath of office by engaging in business while in his magisterial position.

It is asserted that there are alarming mutinous symptoms in several infantry regiments at Osaka. The soldiers according to the rumors have held meetings at which they protested against the terms and de­ nounced the Government. Rigorous measures of repression have been adopt­ ed. Many of the soldiers have been ar­ rested. Struck Twice by Shots From Dominion Cruiser Vigilant. Erie, Pa., Sept 18.—While fishing near the boundary line in Lake Erie to-day the fishing tug William J. McCarter, a small boat of 15 tons, was struck twice by shots from the Canadian cruiser Vigilant in the efforts of the Canadian boat to compel the tug to stop and surrender. Captain Frank Handy, the engineer and four men were on the tug, hut they were de­ termined to escape, and made the run horns in their damaged boat. The tug was struck once near the water line, but the hull was only dented. The second knocked over tile “iron man,” a piece of machinery used in hauling in wets. No one was hurt. The boat sustained such small damage that just before dark Captain Handy started out again to pick up the nets he left behind. The captain said that he was in American waters when the shots were fired, but many of the fishermen admit that they go over on the Canadian side regularly to fish at this sea­ son of the year. YOUNG WOMAN WAS SLANDERED; AFTERWARDS HOUNDED TO DEATH. The Sad Story of Ella Berry, the Young Woman Who Suicided in a New York Hotel. New York, Sept. 18.—Lorenzo D. Ber­ ry, a carpenter, of West Medford, Mass., te-day identified as that of his daughter Ella the body of the young woman who committed suicide on Wednesday in the Hotel Manhattan. His son Elmer recog­ nized the body as that of his sister. After making the identification, the father and son sought Coroner Scholer to secure a permit to take the girl’s body back to her home in West Medford for burial. “The newspapers have done all this,” said the father when he was able to con­ trol his grief. “My daughter, who was a pure and modest girl, was a stenographer ' in her home town. A year ago a Boston newspaper published a etory that she had run away with a married man. The I next day ' it turned out that she had merely gone on her vacation alone, ami that .she had nothing to do with the married man named in the story, who had disappeared.

Woman Released After Declining to Tell Who Shot Her. New York, Sep t. 18.—Mary Hall, the handsome young woman who was found on Riverside Drive the night of Aug. 11 with a bullet wound in her breast, and who has been in custody ever since on a charge of attempted sui­ cide, was discharged to-day. The girl says tha a companion shot her, but from the hour when her cab drove from a fashionable hotel to Rivetside Drive, where the shooting occurred, she has refused to name her assailant. To-day the police gave up • their at­ tempt to solve the case, and let the girl go free on her promise to leave town in care of her uncle, Zeno L. Crown, of Rosemount, N. J. Tired, nervous and irritable, mother is unfit to care for her chil- : dren, and her condition ruins the child’s ' disposition and reacts upon herself. The mother should not be blamed, as i she no doubt is suffering with back- ; ache, headache, bearing-down pains or ' displacement, making life a burden. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- ’ pound is the unfailing cure for this condition. It strengthens the female I organs and permanently cures all dis­ orders such as this letter describes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: ; “ Being mother of five children, I have , had experience with the general troubles of | pay sex.

Address, Lynn, Mass. i j Blacks, Put Off Street Cars in Nash­ ville, Start One. -New York, Sept. 18.—That R. H. Boyd, President of the Penny Savings Bank of Nashville, Term., has purchased in this city four large automobiles for use on a new street .automobile line for negroes in( that gity was announced to-day. The vehicles are to be used by the' Union Transport Company7, of Nashville. ■Bev. C. H. Parrish, of Louisville, Ky., a [ negro educator, and a stockholder in the ! new company," said: ‘A law granting i conductors of the street railways power; of police to remove passengers from any i scat in the car and to arrest whoever re­ fused was passed several months ago. I It is worded to apply both to the blacks : and the whites, but it is really directed only7 against the blacks, and since it was passed several negroes have been arrest­ ed for refusing to obey the conductors. :As a result, the receipts of fares have ■fallen off $500 a week since the law, was I passed. The negroes immediately organ- ;ized a company7 of their own, by- using wagons. owr.ed among themselves s which they could use for the purpose. “The enterprise has prospered, and yesterday’ I went with Mr. Boyd to pur­ chase four large stfeaan automobiles, which will be run in place of cars. The purpose of the company is to give the negroes of Nashville equal rights with the whites as passengers.” Receipts were four 16 sheep, 2 calves and 29 horses. All sales to-day were transacted __ basis of Thursday’s quotations in the dif­ ferent classes. Exporters—One load of melium exporters sold at $4.35, and a chioce picked lot of four weighing 1450 lbs. each, sold at $4.85 per cwt. There were few shipping cattle of- , fered, but plenty apparently to supply tha demand. Export bulls sold from $3.50 to $3.75 and $4 per cwt. Butchers—Choice picked lots of prim® i steers and heifers were scarce and sold at $4.25 to $4.35; loads of good were none too 1 plentiful, and sold at $3.90 to $4.10; fair 1 to medium were plentiful, and sold all the way from $3 to $3.75; common mixed loads, | including ccws, sold from $2.25 to $2.80, with I a slow sale even at these prices. Feeders and Stockers—Best feeders, 1000 to 1150 lbs. etach, at $3.70 to $4; medium feed­ ers, 1000 to 1150 lbs. each, at $3.40 to $3.75; , best feeders, 850 to 1000 lbs. each, at $3.40 to $3.80; medium feeders, 850 to 1000 lbs. each, •at $3.25 to $3.50: best yearlings, 600 to 750 ibs. each, at $3.25 to $3.50; good stock heif­ ers, 700 to 850 lbs. each, at $2.90 to $3.10; ! medium stock heifers, 700 to 850 lbs. each, at $2.75 t.o $2.90; comment stock steers, 700 . to 850 lbs. each, at $2.50 to $2.75; common1 light Stockers, at $2 to $2.25 per cwt. Milch Cows—Between 15 and 20 fresh ar-I rivals of milch cows and springers, sold at' $30 to $t>2 each, as will be seen by sales ' uoted below. . Veal Calves—About 200 calves, bought up at $3.50 to $5.75 per cwt. for the bulk, with 1 a few at $6 per cwt. Considering the qual­ ity, the prices paid are wonderfully good.

EMIGRANTS FOR AUSTRALIA. Salvation Army Would Extend Coloniza­ tion Scheme There. London, Sept. 18.—Gen. Booth has asked lion. Mr. Dea kin, the Australian Premier, by cable, whether he can nlace ,in Australia 5.000 families, not desri- ;tqte. Contrasting Gen. Booth’s Aultra- dian scheme with H. Rider Haggard’S Canadian ideas/ the Chronicle says the Beneral’s Salvation Army has fondness for acting whilst other people are think­ ing. and offers Australia to supply set- . tiers more numerous than contemplated by Haggard’s Canadian scheme. Interview by the Chronicle regarding his scheme, Gen. Booth said: “The Sal- i vition Army is noxv engaged in reducing emigration to a system by which on a ’large scale able-bodied men, wives and families may be fitted to earn a living in,another country. Last year the Army sent a thousand to Canada, and only four or five turned out failures. Can­ ada can swallow up people bv thousands, but there am other countries besides Canada open for the purpose.”
