Mr. Morton and DR. Alexander then
engaged in a tilt as to the respective
duties of ministers and Christian Scien-
lists, DR.. Alexander claiming that at
least ministers did not pretend to cure
the bodies, but the souls only.
Mr. Watts asked if Mr.. Morton had

Mr. Morton responded that he had as
much of divinity in him the gentleman

DIR. Stevenson then proceeded to speak
for the merits of the bill He did not
see why physicians should have TO pass
an examination for a license, and others
be allowed to take possession of the
privileges of a profession without COM
plying with the regulations of that pro-
fess!on.
Mr. Morton said the bill would prevent
Catholic Priests from taking fees for
prayer.
DR.. Stevenson said he was not there to
defend Catholics
Mr.. Merton said he was there to de-
fend the constitutional rights and reli-
gious liberties of all the people.

While he did not subscribe to any reli

many things that could not be explain
ed by natural causes. He then read from
the New Testament the command Of
Jesus to some OF the disciples. which
would certainly justify the doctrine Of
Christian Science. We may or may not

Such a Medicine is
Peruna.

THOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
of chrome catarrh that have re-
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna.
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo-
pie. A large proportion of these letters
are written by men and women promi-
nent in business and professional cir
cles and many of them well known from
ocean to ocean.
Colonel John Franklin Waters occu-
pies a prominent position among the
leading trial lawyers of Chicago. He
has probably obtained more verdicts
against corporations in suits for personal
injuries than any man of his age in the
United States, and during his practice
OF over fifteen years he has not lost
single case in the Supreme Courts of
Illinois and Missouri. He is a hard
worker and has the energy of four men.
For a number of years he had been
afflicted with chronic catarrh and hav-
ing recently been thoroughly cured of
his old affection, an interview was OBJ
tanned with him by one of our reporters
in which he gave the following state
ment to the public:

CheerfHILy recommend Peruna to any

dence of the esteem felt by these ladies
for the gentleman from Rowan for his
work in freeing that township from
liquor legislation 1t was a memorial
for a young man who had made a SPLEEN

House
Mr.. Lucas had been struck with the
manly, Christian, upright character of
that young man.
On account of the illness of Mr.. Craige,
Mr.. Lucas presented the cane to Mr..
Wescott Roheson, by request of his
friend and comrade.
Mr.. Robertson replied that it was with
regret that he was compelled to repre-
sent Mr.. Craige. He had been seized
with an attack Of rheumatism soon after
coming to Raleigh, and had been obliged
to return home, but not before he had
left his impress upon this House. His
absence was a distinct loss.
With a few eloquent words of eulogy
for Mr.. Craige, Mr.. Robertson in his be-
half very fittingly thanked the ladies of
Morgan township for Mr.. Craige.
APPROPRIATIONS.
Then the bill making appropriations
to the State institutions was called up
by Mr.. Guion.
On motion of Mr.. Guion, the House re-
solved itself Committee of the Whole
Mr.. Guion stated, without rejecting
upon any institutionfi that it was the
regret of the committee that the vari-
Gus institutions had not lived within the
appropriations accorded them by the
last Legislature.
The committee had not relied upon the
new Reenue Act raising additional money
to recommend any appropriations that
would exceed the expected tax levy for
1903 without considering any increase
from schedules B and c.
The total amount appropriated by the
committee amounted to 81 or, ASP. This
would leave a balance in the Treasury OF
S., sos, not taking into consideration any
increase over the receipts for 1902. This
did not include the 100000 appropriated
for the schools or the special appropria-
tion to the Confederate veterans.
To make up the special appropriation
othe schools, it will be necessary to
fol the new Revenue Act to raise an
additional 100000 over last year
The total appropriations recommended
this year amounted to about $500 @@.(
less than two years ago
In reply to a question from Governor
Doughton, Mr.. Guion said there was inn
possibility of deficit, if the new act
should raise an additional 100000.
Governor Doughton said that in his
opinion the increase would not fall short
of 100000.

The order OF the Indian agent
with reference to the opening Of
section lines for roads is misunder-
stood by many. Indeed, the Ian
guage employed in the agents
order is misleading. It is not the
spirit Of the law to open section
lines where roads could not be
made. The sensible view is that
where it is practicable to make
road on the section line il should
be done, otherwise the highway
should be made elsewhere.

For ten days the seekers for the new
light plodded to the east. Neither
hunger nor exposure could daunt their
determination. Thirty returned to
their villages at various points in their
journey, but so others came from dis
tant points to take their places. At
Aillwood, three days after leaving
Yorlxton, they expected the Saviour to
reveal Himself, and when He failed to
appear they were confident they would
meet Him in Winnipeg. The strain Of
