for 10 centuries it has been told of Him

you take you are either an unbeliever
in medical treatment, or hold in doubt
the propriety of the chronicling of the
acts of Christ, and the curing of the
sick. Your Christian Scientist"

No Change to Be Made Regard
ing X. G. Convention.

Kansas City, March 13.-After a ses-
sion lasting till 1870 this morning, The
subcommittee of the Democratic ma
tional committee met again today at 10
o'clock and resumed the discussion of
plans for the national convention in
July. It was decided that when the
committee adjourns its meeting here,
which will likely not occur till tomor-
row, it would be to some time in May.
Discussing the subject with the local
railroad committee, the committee
decided that it could not change the
date holding the convention from July
4, without the consent of the entire
committee, and the opinion was eX-
pressed that no change of date will be
made. The rate submitted by the rail-
roads committee was passed upon as
satisfactory The rate is the same as
that conceded the Republican national
convention at Philadelphia

were included in the division, but when
it came to the real estate there was a
