, KUitor Joe Maaua Kilted.
Gainesville, Tex., May 9.—The city
was startled at 8 sfclock last night by the
report of a pistol, and hurrying to the
Register office Capt. Joe Meaus, proprietor
of the Dally Hesperian, was found lying
on the sidewalk in the last throes of death.
The shot was fired by Charlie Bail, an
employe of the Register office. The im-
mediate origin of the difficulty U not
known, but it is pw-smned to have been
some newspaper controversy. Ball was
arrested and is now to Jail. The sad af-
fair has cast a gloom over the entire city,
as Capt. Means was universally loved and
respected.
Time.—Summer of A. D. 29, several
weeks after the last lesson, and about
nine months before the crucifixion.
I hat it was at night is inferred from
their coming down from the mount the
next day, (Luke 9:87) from the fact
that the usual time of prolonged
prayer on th« part of J«eu» wqa ad

the sleepiness of the Apostles.
1 lace.—probably Mount Hermon,
or some of its spurs, in the vicinity
( esarea Philippi, where Jesus and his
disciples were the week before.
Parallel Accounts.—Matt 7: 1-13
Mark 9: 2-10.
Intervening Historic.— After the
last lesson, Jesus dismissed the multi-
tude, and sent his disciples by boat to-
wards Bethsaida, and went up into the
hills to pray. Toward morning he
walked on the sea and entered the
boat. After landing at Gennosaret,
they all went on a tour through Tyre,
Sidon and Decapolia, seeking the re-
tirement which they had failed to ob-
tain near Bethsaida. Several miracles
wore wrought. They returned to the
fea of (iatllee, and walked qp the
Jordan,on the east side to Cawarea Phil-
ippi, where the scene of this lesson is
laid. See Mark chapters 7 and 8. Most
of this history is omitted by Luke.
28. And it came to pass about an sight
days after these sayings, he took Peter
and John and James, and went up Into a
mountain to pray.

oountanaaoe was altered and his raiment
was white and glistering.

Greenville, Tex, May 9.—W. H.
Shilling, of Kaufman, while to the act of
putting his horse to O’Neal’s stable, was
kicked iu thg side several times before
assistance could be given. He was car-
ried to the hotel and medical aid sum-
moned. -It was at first thought that his
wounds were fatal, as he Is about 65 or
70 years old. He la vesting easy find is
expected to recover.
8a And it came to pass, as they departed
rrom him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master
it is good for us to be here: and let us
make throe tabernacles; one for thee and
one for Moses, and one for Eliaa: not
rnowing what he ajald.
34. While he thus spake, there came a
:k>ud, and overshadowed them: and they
eared es they entered into the cloud.
35. Aud there camo a voice out of the
Sloud, saying, this is my beloved son-
dear him:
86. And when the voice was past, Jesus
was found alone. And they kept it close
and told no man in those days any of thoso
things which lh6y had seen.
EXPLANATIONS.
The scone of the transfiguration

ars to have been Mount Hermon while
tradition: dating back to the fourth
century, and almost unquestioned for
a thousand years, placed the scene OD
Mount Tabor.
Mount hermon, at vhoae.ioot Has
Caesarea-Philippi and the sources of the
Jordan, rises over 9000 feet above the
Mediterranean. Its top is partially
crowned with snow nil the year round.
Its name Hermon. means “a peak”
but the Sidonlans called it Birion,

YV iiile Jesus was journeying with bia
disciples northward from, the Sea of
Galilee towards Caesarea Philippi, he
explained them some things about
his work uud the culmination of his
career, which greatly shocked and
startled them. They hud seen but one
side of his work, and dwelt chiefly ou
the more glorious side of the descrlp-
i tion of the Meslah. He now pointed
out clearly that the way 6f tho king-
dom was tho way of the cross. Tfrtit’
the Son of Man must be rejected and
crucified, but also that he would rise
ugaln the third day (seo.Luke 9:22 28-
Matt. 16:21 28.) For a week after this
nothing. Is recorded, (va 28) A thick
gloom of sadness seems to have settled
on the disciples. Their beet friend,
their hope, their saviour must die.
Could he then be their saviour* Their
hope of a glorious kingdom, of a re-
deemed nation, were all shattered. A
dense cloud oovered all their food an-
ticipations. It was needful that they
ehould know the truth. It was needful,
also, that they should see the truth be-
yond the gloom, and obtain a glimpse
of the glory and salvation to Which the
way of the oroes would lead them.
