PATENT CENTENARY.
PREPARATIONS FOR A BIG CELEBRA-
TION NEXT MONTH.


The headquarters OF the committee
charged with the work Of preparation for
the celebration of the beginning OF the
second century of the American patent
system is now the scene of great activity.
Mr.. J.. Elfreth Watkins, secretary, is in
charge of the headquarters, which is To-
Gated at S11 q street northwest. Mr.. Wat
kins informed CRITIC reporter this morn
ing that from the inquiries made and in
formatian asked, inventors and those in
interested in patents have been aroused
from Maine to California. Thousands
upon thousands of invitations have been
sent to patentees all over the country
and responses are being received daily that
promise successful celebration. In
vitations have been sent already to some
10000 inventors who have taken out
patents during the past year; also to about
| COO patent attorneys who practice before
the Department, and to host of mechani-
cal and electrical engineers, master car
builders and others.
The celebration will he held ilfsLncoln
Hall on April s, 0 and 10, and will
not only be a fitting commemoration of
the hundreth anniversary of the issuance
by the United States Government of the
first patent, but will also be the first oc-
casion when the inventors of the United
States have come together. The outcome
of the meeting will be the formation of an
association Of inventors, and IL is thought
that matters of far reaching importance
will be discussed.
Notably the needs of the Patent Office
will be shown in such a manner that IL is
believed that it will have its effect OH Con-
gress and be the means of having in-
creased facilities granted to the Patent
Office.
The finance committee have secured
pledges to the guarantees fund which as
sures the success of tho undertaking in
that regard. Among those who have al
ready slibscribed are.

Senator Hearst, who has just died, will
be missed by none perhaps more than the
'majahsn and the ''colonels' who FREE
quent the corridors of Wizards Hotel.
He was Mnd-hearted old man and every
body who knew him had good word to
say of him when he died. Whenever he
visited the hotel there was always num-
Der of the class mentioned who greeted
him. The Senator's kindness Of heart
was appealed TO by their evident desire for
drink, and II was no uncommon sight
to see them aligned in front OF the entire
length of the bar at his EXPENSE. His
early life among the miners had made
him accustomed to such characters and no
words of reproacl for them fell from his
lips.

Kinner steel ceiling in neat panels is used
throughout this story. In the rear is the
heating apparatus, the first of its kind in
troduced here. Itconsists of two 5D.horse
power tubular boilers and one group Of coils
having heating surface Of Q, ,i0Osquare feet.
This mass of pipes Is inclosed in a metal
box at one end of which is placed
5I-inch Smith disc fan blower. The latter
driven by 10 horse power upright en-
gine forces the hot air through two brick
conduits, one on each side Of the building.
From these IL is carried to each floor by
series of fiues, twenty-cigbt in all, that
are part Of the piers of the side walls. 1t
is supplied to the rooms by small registers
placed below the window sills. In this
system the unsightly mass of steam pipes
usually passing through each room is done
away with, while the total absence of
radiators gives an increased floor space.
The plant has already been tested and has
proved in every way satisfactory. The

TIM RECALL OF PROFESSOR SMILEY of the
Census Bureau, who has been collecting
statistics of fish and fisheries reminds us
that gentleman of that name was in
Louisiana during December and January
looking into those very matters for the
Government. Could he have been the
same SMILEY? II is quite probable. The
SNiJEy who figured in Louisiana
took gloomy views as to the
future Of the alligator. lie also
communicated these views to the
newspapers. Late in January or early in
February we saw in the New York lSua,
and read with genuine delight, certain
thoughtful observations by Mr.. SMILEY
on the alarming scarcity of alligators in
Southern Louisiana at that time. II oo-
cured 10 us at the moment that a gentle
man who selected midwinteras tbeproper
time for taking the census on hiber-
mating reptile could not be Of really price
ltss value TO the country, and "a
wing Of prophecy famed us with
whispers of his speedy translation
TO some other sphere. Much sooner than
we expected, however, comes the an
nouncement that the professor has been
called in. Charges are on lille to the effect
that SMIIEY's statistics are worthless--in-
elnding, of course, his alligator statistics.
Jtis also said that he has devoted more
time to the roasting of Fish Commissioner
MCDONALD than 10 the business of his
office Altogether, it seems clear that

THE AcoUITTAL OF the Sicilians accused
Of assassinating ID. c. HENSEssY, Chief of
Police of New Orleans, has been followed
by events sufficiently dreadful in them
selves but which will surprise no one fa-
millar with the circumstances of the case
or with the population of New Orleans.
The assassination was one of the most
cruel and revolving on record. II was,
presumably, the act of hired braves
insugated by men who sought to
obstruct the operation of law. New
Orleans has long been cursed by the
practice Of the vendetta. Not once but
hundreds of times have her people been
shocked and outraged by murders of sur
passing brutality. Not once but hundreds
of times have the witnesses of these
butcheries refused to aid the law by giving
testimony. 1t was in the prosecution of
a then recent instance of the sort,
and because there seemed at last q
prospect of putting and end to
the vendetta, that Chief HENNEssy was
ret npon by score of assassins and foully
murdered at his own threshold. There
WAS a tremendous manifestation of re-
sentiment at the time and violence was
apprehended at any moment. The ex-
citeMent subsidized, however, under pres
.sJe Of more moderate counsels, and
nothing was thereafter done to interfere
with the processes Of law. But when
the acquittal was rendered yesterday,
and when it came to be understood that

liquor licenses some of the police lieuten-

selling on Sunday. The Commissioners
do not appear to lay much stress on mere
suspicious. They should not. And it
seems to an nprejudiced person that the
police officials are going out of their way
in reporting suspicious. A man who ha-

to invitations have already been received
in great Plumbers, and among the promi-

tend are T. A. Edison, George Westing-

gramme of the celebration proper IS di-
yided into two parts.
The first is series Of public meetings to
be held in Lincoln Hall on the dates of
April 8, 8 and 10, which are to be addressed
by some of the best talent in the country.
The second part will be grand parade OF

ting inventors will be given an excursion
ito Mount Vernon. This will be On April
40, the centennial of the granting of the

day, at the invitation of Secretary Tracy,

lr SEEMS TO Br the general impression
that Senator INGALLS, has not made good
his point on the American Navy. THE
CRITIC took this view Of the matter when
the INGALLS, article appeared last week in
the New York Truth, and we expressed
the opinion then that Mr.. INGALLS, had
not been rs happy as is usual with that
picturesque and brilliant writer. Mr..
MuRAT HAlsTEAp's reply, reprinted in yes
terday's CHITIc, was notably effective. He
disposed of the chief points in the INGALLS,
onslaught without much difficulty, and
left no escape from the conclusion that
public opinion isquite right in demandinga
powerful Navy. As regards Mr.. HALsTEAp's
personal references to Mr.. INGALLS,, there
is no need for any extended comment.
Mr.. INGALLS, is thoroughly able to take
care of himself in any such contest, and IL
is safe to say that the ield-marshal will
have mighty few of the spoils of war to
exhibit when the battle shall have ceased.
Meanwhile IL is cheering TO observe that
both these eminent men take the proper
and patriotic view of the Bering
Sea controversy, and hold that
England is trying her congenial
role Of bully. They do not forget that, if
we are weak in the matter of our Navy,
England is dangerously vulnerable in
other respects quite rs important. 1t is
perfectly safe to say that either INGALLS, or
HALsTEAD would, If the matter were left
to him, send armed cruisers to Bering Sea
with orders to stop the poachng, and let
England choose as to Interfering with o,lr
