The Christian Science method of treat
ing illness has received considerable at
tention in New York and Massachusetts
recently. Bills designed for the purpose
of prohibiting the practice of the art of
healing by others than regularly examined
and licensed physicians were before the
legislatures of those states In each in
stance it was well understood that the
bills were directed chiefly against the
Christian Scientists, who claim to heal
through the medium of the mind-infuenc-
ing the body through the mind
somewhat amusing incident occurred
in connection with the bill pending in the
New York Legislature. Five hundred or
more women went to Albany in. the inter-
est of Christian ScTence. They were Il
good looking, healthy lot and most of
them claimed to have been cured of COM
plants of various sorts by Christian Sci
ence. By their general appearance, their
testimony and their appeals, they so in
huenced the minds of the committee on
public health that after the hearing an
exception favorable TO Christian Sci
ence was written into the bill to be re-
ported to the House. That, 1t would
seem, was at least a pretty fair example
how minds can be influenced by Christian
Science.
The bill before the Massachusetts, Legis-
lature, however, was not attended with
any such theatrical incident. When the
Massachusetts mind comes to a consider
alton of psychology, it desires no object
lessons nor the presence of female lobby
lists; the matter under discussion is treat
ed with logical argument. Thus William
Lloyd Garrison and DR.. William James
made arguments against the bill on the
ground that it was a proposition to inter
fere with and prescribe the pur-
suit of knowledge. They urged that
all medical knowledge was mper-
feet, and in an experimental state.
No physician who had not fol-
lowed up and thoroughly advised himself
of the mind-cure could say with positive
ness that that cure was a fraud. 1t was
not within the province of legislation to
affirm or deny any school of healing.
Thousands of intelligent persons believed
in the efficacy Of faith and prayer in the
treatment of the ills of the flesh Many
were ready to testify that they had expe-
rienced benefits from such treatment. 1t
was not the proper thing that they should
be called fools. for they We're not. The in
| huence of mind over matter was a vital
mystery; should criminal law prohibit the
study of such a mystery? The courts and
the law should stand aside and have moth
ing to do in the matter, in the interest of
liberty and the search for truth. There
might be a quasi-religious movement be-
hind the mind-cure, but that had nothing
to do with the question.
The committee reported against the bill.
Thus the Christian Scientists, mind-hea-
ers, or whatever else they may be called,
have won two notable victories, and in the
states Of New York and Massachusetts, at
least, may go on prescribing faith and
prayer where a physician of regular
standing might give blue pills and castor
oil with better results.

A Dainty story From the German.

Dainty story From the German.
The greatly honored Moses Mendels-'
sohn, who was called the Socrates of his
time, was visiting the baths of Pyrmont.
There he became acquainted with the
merchant Gaugenheim of Hamburg, re-
cites a translation from the German in
Success.
rabbi Noses" the merchant said to him
one day, I'VE revere you, but my daughter
especially reveres and admires you with
the greatest enthusiasm. 1t would be the
highest honor to me 10 have you for a SON
in-law. Pray visit me some time"
Moses Mendelssohn was very retiring and
shy for he was sadly lunch backed. At
length he set out for the journey. He
went to Hamburg and sought out Gaugen-
helm in his counting house. The mer-
chant said TO him: GO up and see my
daughter; she will be delighted to see
YOU"
Mendelssohn made the visit to the daugh-
ter On another day Mendelssohn came to
Gaugenhe:m's counting house. He spoke
of the agreeable and intellectual charac-
ter of the daughter.
yes. revered rabbi" said Gaugenheim;
should I speak frankly to you?"
Certainly"
You are a philosopher benevolent and
wise. You will not take it in bad part
from the child; she was shocked when she
saw you, because you
Because I have a frghtful hump
Gaugenheim bowed assent.
II thought so" said Mendelssohn, but
yet l will call and take leave of your
daughter"
He went up into the dwelling apart
ments and seated himself by the daugh-
ter, who was sitting near the window in
a raised seat, with a piece of needlework
in her hand. They talked together pleas
antly and intimately, but the maiden did
not look up, and Mendelssohn did not look
at her. AT length the maiden put the ques-
ton: do you really believe matches are
decided IN heaven"'
Certainly And something very I'M
usual happens in my case. You know
that according to a Talmudic saying, at
the birth of child it is announced in heav-
en-. This and this one win have this al d
this one. Now, when l was born, my wife
was called out for me, but it was also de-
clared that she would. alas! have fear
full hump Dear Cod l said, "a maiden
who is deformed will very likely be bitter
and harsh; a maiden ought to be beauti-
full Dear God. give me the hump and let
the maiden be beautiful and comely! "
Scarcely had he said this when she fell
upon his neck. She became his wife, and
they were happy together. They also had
beautiful and brave children.

Our former minister to England Mr.. E.
J. Phelps distinguished authority on in
ternational law, speaking of SPANS liza
bility for indemnity for the loss of the
Maine said that if the warship was des-
troyed through the agency of Spain an act
of war was committed. He said. however.

that Spain would do such an act.
If the warship was destroyed by an out

to afford such protection as ordinary pru.
dence dictated, and as was in their power.

The "fernseher'' is the name of new
invention reported from Vienna. The cable
dispatches say it is an instrument by
means of which it is possible to instan-
taneously reproduce manuscripts, and to
print them on Photographic plates, at any
distance. The medium of communication
is the ordinary telegraph wire. AS illus
trating the powers of the apparatus, it is
said that "a newspaper as it leaves the
press in Vienna can be inserted in the ma
chine and reproduced the next moment in
New York" The inventor predicts that
it will entirely supercede both the tele-
graph and the telephone.

If the Spanish statesman quoted in the

revolts in the American Southern states"
is type of his class, then Spanish states
men are wofully ignorant of the status of
affairs in this country 1t would be high
ly amusing TO have Spain try to raise re-
volts against the United States in the
South. The spanIard who attempted il
would speedily find himself in a condition
to induce the opinion that he had been
changed into a bird, with plumage grow
ing forty ways.

Why Lee Was Retained.
From the Chicago Times-Herald Qnd)

President Mckinley not only trusted
Gen. Lees wisdom and discretion and ad-
mired his courage, but foresaw that if
trouble were to arise at Havana the pres
ence there of distinguished Democrat
and ex-Confederate as the chief official
representative of a Republican admins
tration would have a most wholesome eff
feet upon public opinion in the United
States. How well the foresight of the
President has been justified by events all
the world knows. Gen. Lee is now a ma
tional hero, and he belongs to the North
as well as to the South.

A Washington dispatch says that nearly
every town in the country large enough in
its own estimation to justify such a claim
has appealed to Secretary Long 20 chris
ten one of the newly-acquired Brazilian
cruisers in its honor. 1t is safe to say
that not one in the lot has more reasons
to offer why it should have the honor
than the city of Savannah. This city and
New Orleans are about the only great
ports of the country which are not rep
resented in the list of naval vessels. The
Secretary of the Navy will, of course,
see the injustice Of permitting this condi-
ton to remain much longer.

The New York Press prints an interest
ing fragment of war talk, being the re-
marks of some confederate veterans of
that city with regard to the present situa-
ton. The Press says that every mothers
son of the crowd talked periodically, and
declared that he was ready TO go to the
front in case Of need; but not on what
they called humanitarian grounds. Said
one veteran of 70: Humanity! Humanity!
What do they mean by talking of inter-
fering on humanitarian grounds? After
Phil Sheridan had traversed the Shenan-
doah valley he wrote to the war depart
ment in Washington: Il have devastated
the valley of Virginia; there isn't enough
left for a crow to feed on" That letter
is on file in the archives of the govern
ment. Did anybody talk of interfering
then on humanitarian grounds? Did any
body send ships TO feed our starving wo-
men and children? Did anybody send EN-
clothes?

The witticism Gov. Taylor got off, as a

Sam would have been in he'll long ago,
but for the pardoning power, is an an
cient thing. 1t was attributed to Hon
est John Davis Governor of Massachu-
sets, in 1910, and soon was told of other
governors, who were noted for their wit,
and no less for their lenity to convicts.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MARCH 20, $685.

The safety of the Maine, although in a
friendly port, was not guaranteed by
Spain.
II the Maine was blown up by design, but
not by SPANS agency, it devolves upon the
United States to show that the Spanish au-
thorities at Havana did not afford the ship
the protection 10 which she was entitled
under the circumstances before they would
be justified in demanding indemnity.
1t is evident from the foregoing that if
the Maine was blown up from the outside
it will not be an easy matter to sustain
claim for indemnify against Spain.

Louisville Dispatch.
1t is suggested that II all the anarchists
were collected together and placed on some
Isolated island TO govern themselves ac-
cording to their own ideas the experiment
would be both interesting and valuable.
The trouble about inaugurating such a
policy would be the danger Of the powers
OF government being used to expatrlate
patriots in the interest OF absolute mon
archism. For instance. suppose Mark
Hanna. Mckinley. Watterson and such
men, could order the deportation OF all the
people they class as anarchists. 1t would
affect over half the population OF the
United States. Instead OF leading reg-
ment in defense OF his country, Colonel
Bryan would be deported. and there would
not be enough white people left in the
South and West for SEED. Just government
is the true remedy for anarchy. The worst
anarchists we have in the United States
are those who have seized upon the store
houses OF nature and appropriated them
| TO their own use. and those who have
bought, stolen and usurpsd privileges
| which belong to the whole people and MOI
| to a part OF them. Every lawmaker and
every judge who sells out to the plu-
| tocracy is an anarchist OF the most dan
gerous type. and every agent or beneficiary
| OF corruption is a breeder Of anarchy. The
| few crazy men who strike blindly witt
| daggers and throw bombs at representa-
| tives Of entrenched wrong, are not much
| more dangerous than the most dangerous
| wild animals. but the organized anarchist.
| who strike with daggers at the vitals o.
( fres Institutions ard are blowing up th,
| constitutional foundations with law bombs
are more dangerous than the allied armies
| OF Europe. The ballot box is the remedy
| to which the people OF this country mus
| look for relief from anarchy in its mos
| dangerous form.
