ADiplomatist,s Blunder.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis
Journal tells this story of the Brazilian
minister in Washington, who is unfortu-
nately blind, and has his daily papers read
to him by secretary, SO that he is obliged
to form his impressions entirely by sound :
The other night he sat at a club dinner by
the side of well known correspondent,
and in the course of an hours conversat ton
he repeated the name of Mr.. ''Tomredy'
at least half q dozen times. 1t was some
little time before it dawned upon the cor
respondents mind that the minister meant
Speaker Reed. Senior Salvador de Men
donca had never seen the name in print
and never heard 1t pronounced in any 9TH
er way than "Tomredy,' and although an
extremely punctilious gentleman he fell
into what would have been to him an I'M
pardona BILE error if he could have known
it. Speaker Reed sat near him and enjoy
ed the incident immensely.

The Sessford Case.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1 have just read MIR. Blair's defense of
Mrs. Sessford, who is being prosecuted in
the Police Court for practicing medicine
without a license.
He made this singular statement: IF it
pleases the court, the practice of Christian
Science is practice Of religion and not Of
medicine.
would like to inquire if the use of
scientific Christianity (whatever it is) for
the cure Of disease is not the practice of a
medical art? The moral efficacy of thera-
peuttc appliance Is we'll understood and
recognized by all physicians. A bread pill
will sometimes accomplish wonders hen
there is no real pathological condition OR
change taking place. Scientific Chris
tianity Is good" that Of the heart and soul
better. The query comes: II Mrs. Sess-
ford believes in Christian science, why does
she permit her attorney to throw doubt
upon the science by. special pleading? Why
does she not stand and show the courage
of her conviction? Mr.. Blair, In his zeal to
when ne says: THE scientists believe God
cures disease This looks like shifting
responsibility. It is not infrequent Tor doc
tors to claim when q case RECEIVERS, cured:
when it dies. God took him away.
MI. Blair asserts that Mrs. Sessford did
not practice medicine. but. like all Chris
tian scientists. believes God can cure dis
diphtherta.
This reminds me Of the Old colored minis
ter. who said: "Oh, Lord! Thy servant Does
not intend to dictate, but merely to sug-
gest to Thee this morning.
