nial, which was held last evening at Lincoln
Hall. In addition to the regular orchestra the
Annapolis Academy band was present MI.
Alexander Graham Bell, the well-known in
ventor, was the presiding officer Of the meet
ing. Mr.. Lynchs reference TO the
man whose name was ringing through
the civilized world evoked round
of applause, which Mr.. Bell acknowledged by
bowling. Mr. Bell then made . happy little
speech In which he said that little reference had
been made to an event which occurred about
the same time the patent system was born and
that was the invention Of new form Of gov
eminent, the production of the Constitution Of
tho United States. In twenty words Of that
instrument rests the patent Office system.
This patent system. be said has stimulated
inventions, and the last century has witnessed
. marvellous growth. No great progress has
ever been made except where patent system
exists. Prof. Bell was frequently interrupted
with applause during the course Of his remarks

head of the German patent Office expressing
interest in the celebration, and also one from

resources of practical medicine and the compo-
sition Of all these is now known. Most of such
remedies have little value as curative agents
and some of them are prepared and purchased
almost exclusively for immoral or criminal pur-
poses.
The most important improvements in prac-
teal medicine made in the United States, he
said, have been in surgery in its various
branches.
He had no doubt that the greatest progress
in medical science during the next few years
will be in the direction Of prevention, and to
this end mechanical and chemical invention
and discovery must go hand in hand with in
creased biological and medical knowledge
Neither can afford to neglect or despise the
other, and both are working for the common
good.
THANKS TO EVERYBODY.
A resolution offered by Mr.. H. T. Simms of
Ohio was adopted extending the thanks of
the congress to the gentlemen who had pre-
sided over and addressed the various meetings.
the committees, newspapers aud others who
had taken an interest in the celebration.
With a few appropriate words Prof. Bell
adjourned the congress for one hundred wears,
and the memorable patent celebration came to
q close.

Pretty strong
reasons for trying DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. In the first
place, it cures your catarrh-
no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing. 1t
doesn't simply palliate - it
envss. If you believe it, so
much the better. There's
nothing more to be said.
You get it for so cents, from
all druggists.
But perhaps you won't be-
lieve it. Then there's another
reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured, and
you'll get $500. It's a plain
business offer. The makers
Of DR.. Sage's Remedy will
pay you that amount if they
can't cure you. They know
that they can-you think
that they can't. If they're
wrong, you get the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid Of
catarrh.

In the Criminal Court today, before Judge
Hagner, the case of Frank Mclaughlin, alias
Andrew Muller, convicted on February is or
one count Of an indictment charging him with
HOUSEKEEPING and larceny at the store of Franz
Hoffa on October II last, was argued on mo-
tions for new trial and in arrest of judgment
by A. A. Lipscomb for the defendant and Mr.
Clagett for the government.
The court over ruled the motions and Mr.
Lipscomb noted an exception.
Mclaughlin was then called and sentenced
to five and half years in the penitentiary .,
Albany.
The court said the impression upon him wal
that Mclaughlin WAS not the inventor of this
scheme, but the instrument, and he would moi
impose the greatest punishment
The execution Of the sentence was postponed
to enable the counsel to take the case to the
General Term--till fifteen days after the close
Of the next term.

1t is customary, he said in conclusion, to
erect statues to the destroyers of mankind, to
crown with laurels those who have marked the
earth with ruin. In all ages a temporary advan-

memories with substantial monuments Their

but We may erect a worthy memorial in the
