the National Dental Association, the
former meeting in Columbus this
winter and the latter in San Francis
co, concluded their annual session
held in this city yesterday, by enjoy
ing a banquet of splendid appoint
ments last evening at the Shondell
restaurant in West Main street, twen-
ty-two guests being seated at the ta-
bles.
The afternoon session of the So
ciety was devoted to the reading Of
excellent papers and discussions on
painless methods and the best filing
materials. The annual election also
took place, the old offlcers peing
again chosen as follows:
President--W. H. Sedgwick.
Vice President-R. l.. Mcintosh.
Recording Secretary-C. L. Wyeth.
Corresponding Secretary-E. ".
Prior.
Treasurer-W. s. Deeley.
The president, DR.. Sedgwick, was
also elected director in the Ohio

The dental society is named in hon
or Of the late DR.. Willoughby d. Mil
ler, who was born in Alexandria,

lily. He discovered a process for
teeth preservation and was recog-
nized all over the world as one Of
the most famous practitioners Of his
day. DR.. Miller died in this city at
the City hospital several years ago
and his remains were inferred in the
Alexandria cemetery. Only last year
the news gathering associations of
the country carried a story that the
German emperor and German den
lists would send representatives to
this country to place wreaths on the
grave of DR.. Miller. The breaking
out of the war interfered with the
plan.
At the banquet Thursday evening,
DR.. w. H. Sedgwick presided as toast
master and amply fulfilled the func-
tions of Office to the satisfaction Of
everyone, in fact he made an ideal
presiding officer, and as several OF
the members expressed 1t, should be
presiding over a state legislature.

quet board with the president were

Ford, Edward Miller, A. v. Davis, A.
w. Bourne, c. d. O'Hara, j. T. Lewis,

horn of Pataskala and Drs. G. A.
Beck, w. s. Deeley, r. l.. Mcintosh
and w. S. Grossman of Mt. Vernon.
The toastmaster called on the var
ious members for short talks and a
very pleasant hour followed the serv-
ing of the menu which consisted of a
spring chicken dinner with all the ac-
compartments necessary to make it
thoroughly enjoyable. The cuisine
was excellent, it was nicely served
and Toastmaster Sedgwick compli-
mented Mr.. Shondell for his pains
taking efforts.
During the course of the evening
it was decided to attend the state
dental meeting in body and partici-
pate in the ceremonies incidental to
