THE DECISION RESERVED.
Arguments Closed fn the Case aumt,.,
Mrs. Sessford.

Inc nearing yesterday of the case of Mrs
Sessford, the Christian scientist. who has
peeh charged with practicing medicine
without license, had some interesting fea-
lures la the arguments submitted by coun-
| sci. Mr.. Blair. for the defense who onened
| the argument, read a number of cases Lear
| ing on the case on trial. his point being To
estanlish the legal definition of the practice
OF medicine. He contended that the Dis
trict ordinance merely made IL a mtsde-
meanor to practice medicine and surgery
without certificate or with forged GER

the use OF medicine or surgical Instruments
Ia unsklilful hands, but while faith cure
might not he of any use to the patient A.
most certainly was not an injury
MI. Blair also quoted a case tried in New
fork, where suit was brought to recover

Judgment was given for the plaintiff In

liable to rigid prosecution

act OF Congress in regard to medical prac-
tlce.- In which massage and SH edsh move
E'ents are expressly excluded. and from
| this claimed that Congress had in mind the
| broad meaning of medicine
According to the interpret alton of the
| law by Mr.. Blair, Mr.. Baker said an In
dian medicine man could come into the
District and attempt to cure disease with
cut violation of law.
In conclusion, Mr.. Baker claimed the
government had fully made out it's casa
AGAINST Mrs. Sessford. He quoted the book
-Christfan Physicists, written by Mrs
Eddy, the discoverer Of Christian science
and quoted a paragraph where the Wort
diagnose was made use of. He also
showed that the author mentioned rene
dies for many diseases and rninut,.ly de-
scribed what should be done when a case
reached crisis. He claimed that Mrs
Sessfords statement that she was a Chris
tian scientist was sufficient to convict her.
Judge Mills said he would reserve his de-
| cision and make it known in few days.

nervous, and realizes that he is suffering

Of the District Telegraph and Telephone
service. reports as HpllQws upon the plan:
ITO make it best suited to the wants and
necessities Of both sthes white and colored
schools I have the honor to submit the
following:
Connect the Blunt and Western High
schools at Georgetown by q new direct
wire to the Franklin.
Connect the johnson and Dennison by
q new line direct fomothe johnson to the
Franklin. Gs.,s,
Connect the Seaton, Central High and
Manual Training With the Franklin by q
new direct line of wire.
Connect the Gales and Business High
by q new line from the Gales to this Of
fee, and from here use existing line to
the Franklin, so connecting the two lines
in this Office, by plugs. as to give free use
of the entire lines without necessttating
the services of an operator here for max
ing connections. and at the same time
leaving it practicable to use either the
new or the old lines through the switch
board at this Office.
For the Tyler and Eastern High schools
I would run a new Independent line from
the Tyler, via the Eastern High, to the
Franklin.
1.-The Wallach, Lincoln and Jefferson,
now on one line to this office, would ex-
tend to the Franklin by new wire-with
like plug and switchboard arrangement
as mentioned for the Gales and Business
High School. The Sumner and Cook
schools would leave each connected with
this office, as now; and would run a new
wire from the Sumner to the Franklin, and
in this way all the schools now provided
with telephones. as well as the new ones
suggested by Prof. Powell, would have
telephone connections with both superin-
tendents by the use of switchboard pro-
yided for the Franklin building"

The Augusta (Ga) Chronicle says: The
negroes are rapidly filling the trades. AS
carpenters. bricklayers, plasterers. black
smiths. -wheelwrights. they are growing
mere numerous. and making 1t more and
more difficult for white men to prosper in
these fields of labor. A glance at the white
schools and the negro schools of the south
VIII show that the negro schools are teach
ing their pupils more of the practical leeds
of life. and fitting them to earn livelihood
better than the white schools are. For
every white archaeological school the ne
grces have half a dozen with archaeological
and industrial features. Every year young
men are being turned out of the negro
schools in the south who have been taught
carpentry. shoemaking. printing. the gen.
eral use Of tools. scientific farming. in addi-
tscn to the usual academic courses, and
young women who are taught cooking,

and housekeeping. When a young me-

more than dozen schools In the south he
