Christian science, the modern re-

monthly from Mrs. Elizabeth Web

Mrs. Eddy. the discoverer and found

Massachusetts, Metaphysical college.
Those of the faith in Rock Island
have engaged a room in the new In

of instruction Thursday evening of
this week. The class also meets Fri
day evening of each week. Those of
the faith here and in Davenport join

and Mrs. j. r. Johnston, of this city,
who are the readers. A gentleman
from this city who is an enthusiastic
convert to the new theory, said yes

every day throughout the country.
1t is increasing in the number who

the teachings of Christian science

however, it is the supremacy of MIND
over everything. All is mind, and
this being the case the ills of the

Secretary Herbert cabled orders to Ad.

mediately for Smyrna, Asia Minor, aud
have both vessels of his squadron visit
AleXandretta and Adana to confer with
the United States consuls and resident
American citizens. If it is found that
there are good grounds for apprehensions
expressed in. those vicinities concerning
a probable massacre OF Christians, he
is to intimate clearly to the local authori-
ties that the United States intends to
afford full protection to American citi-
zens in that territory under treaty guar
antees. A cablegram was sent Captain
O'Neil of the cruiser Marblehead, at Glib
raltar, ordering him to proceed with
dispatch" to Beirut, Syria, and report
to the admiral The San Francisco and
Marblehead. have both beenscoaled in the
past few days and an their com manders
received urgent orders this morning. it
is expected they will get under way coon.
The. San Francisco with her speed of
twenty-one knots should cover 500 miles
tosher destination in less than two days,
and the Marblehead having frequently
maintained seventeen knots should run
the entire length of the Mediterranean in
four days. This display of force in
Turkish waters by the United States is
declared at the State Department. to be
due to the unsatisfactory delays that re-
suit from Observation-Disclosures at Con-
stantinople. Alshogh instructions have
been sent to Minister Terrill to warn the
Sultan of fears of thu American mission
aries in Smyrna and to demand that the
