Sasa aha, HUMAN AIR PASSAGES, Discussed at a Congress of Distinguished Medical Men. THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN LARYNGOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION MEETS AT THE ARLINGTON THIS MORNING— OPENING PROCEEDINGS. The eleventh annual congress of the Ameri- can Laryngological association began their sessions in the ladies’ parlors at the Arlington this morning. This is one of the rost dis- tinguished associations in the medical frater- nity, ranking third among all the associations of specialists in the National medical congress. It was organized eleven years ago, when medical science had made comparatively little progress in the investigation and treatment of diseases of the throat ana nose. Since then their labors have brought the knowledge and treatment of these diseases to a state of almost perfection. The membership of the associa- tion is limited to fifty and some distinguishing service in the advancement of science in this specialty is a requisite qualification to member- ship. The diseases which they treat are what Dr. Sir Morell McKenzie, of London, who is an honorary member of the association, refers to in his work as the ‘American disease.” MEMBERS PRESENT. At the opening session this morning the president, Dr. Ethelbert Carroll Morgan, of this city, occupied the chair, with Dr. D. Bryson Delevan, secretary. Among the other distinguished members of the profession pres- ent were Dr, William C. Glasgow, of St. Louis; Dr. Chas. E, Sajous, of Philadelphia, the first and second vice-presidents; Dr. Franklin H. Hooper, of Boston; Frederick I Knight, of Boston; Harrison Allen, of Philadelphia; C. E. Bean, of St. Paul; 5. H. Chapman, of New Haven; Wm. H. Daly, of Pittsburg; T. A. De Blois, of Boston; J. H. Hartman, of Baltimore; F. W. Hinkel, of Buffalo; L. Johnston, of Baltimore; C. H. Knight, of New York; W. 8. Langmaid, of Boston; J. N. Mackenzie, of Baltimore; G. W. Major, of Montreal; J. C. Mulhall, of St. Louis, and J. O. Roe, of Rochester. DR. MORGAN'S ADDRESS OF WELCOME. In his address as president of the association, Dr. Morgan welcomed his associates to Wash- ington. He spoke of the attractiveness of the national capital as a meeting place for such an association, and said: ‘You tind our historic city, decked in the robes of spring; on all sides the industry, learning and generous wealth of a great nation are reflected. You are surrounded by the beauties of nature and art jand are in the home of the scientific, libraries, sboratories and museums fostered and en- Cyraged by a liberal government.

The artist most familiar expression of Sheridan's face— strong without of the head, without seeming 1s indicative of the determination and rugged- ness which were 80 c! of the ag; sive soldier. The likeness is excellent, and the design is in most perfect taste, suited in its strei and simplicity to the character of the man it commemorates, The flag that forms the background is fully arranged in folds, and the effect of the curves is heightened by the rigid flag staff which diag the top ard bottom from beneath the drapery. ‘Two corded tassels depend at the left of the flag from the spearlike top of the staff. The me- dallion rests against the ae shaft about twenty feet from the groun The shaft stands 13 feet high and has a mas- sive appearance. The base is 9 feet 6 inches broad. The bas-relief is 10 feet from the ground, The monolith, which is of polished ‘anite 10 feet 6 inches high, weighs 15 tons, ‘he total weight of monolith and base is 23 tons, The Paul Monument. After the band played the dirge before the Sheridan monument the line was reformed and proceeded to the spot in the grounds in the rear of the mansion where a handsome granite monument had been erected over the grave of Gen. Gabriel R. Paul. Here special memorial exercises were con- dueted by John A. Rawlins’ Post No. 1, of which Augustus C, Paul, sou of Gen, Paul, is com- mander, The monument is a plain granite shaft. On one face of the pediment is the inscription: Gabriel R. Paul, Brigadier-General, U. 8. A., Born March 22, 1813, Died May 5, 1886, On the other side is the one word, in large letters, “Paul.” The monument was erected by the members of Gen. Paul's family. It was beautifully decorated with tlowers, a conspicu- ous object being a large floral tablet sent by the Gabriel R. Paul post, of Bergen, N. J. When the procession reached the monument adeep circle was formed about it under the trees, and while all uncovered the band played adirge. Ex-Chief Justice Drake was intro- duced as the orator of the occasion, The Oration. Chief Justice Drake paid a simple and touch- ing tribute to the dead soldier, who was bis friend. In opening his address, which was de- voted mainly to a biographical sketch of the distinguished soldier, he referred to his ac- quaintance with the gallant oflicer for about fifty years and a warm friendship that had existed between them during the last fifteen Years, “When, therefore,” said the speaker, “a committee of the Rawlins post requested me to speak of him here to-day I felt that I could not refuse, and I undertook the service with all the more readiness and pleasure because, though he was born in a territory where slavery ex- isted and which, in his childhood, was admitted into the Union asaslave stato, he never re- nounced his allegiance to the United States, as so many army and navy officers did, for the wild and wicked phantasm of an empire of scorers to be erected in blood on domain Mae ed by war from the country of bis irth,” He sketched Gen. Paul's career, his services a8 & young officer against the Seminole Indians und his brilliant record in the Mexican war, ending with participation in the storming of (a peel where, for “gallant and merito- rious conduct,” he was breveted major, STORMING CHAPULTEPEC. “Merely to mention that brevet,” said Mw. Justice Drake, “is not enough; there is a his- tory in it which ought not to be unnoticed here to-day. The gallant and meritorious conduct was not displayed in his place in his regiment, but in the command of # storming party, mov- ing upon the enemy’s works at the foot of the hill on which stood the fortress of Chapulte- pec. Few, probably, who have not been in war, have a very definite idea of what a storming party means, Its other name, in military phrase, is forlorn hope, It is made up of men selected for the desperate work of an assault, with guns un- loaded and bayoncts fixed, — upon a fortified position, that is to be taken, if at all, in a hand to hand fight, with the odds much in favor of the intrenched force, and the jawsof death wide open to the assailants, Even in the days of smooth-bore and muzzle- loading cannon and muskets, it was the dead liest service in war, if the position were held by aforce sufficient to withstand the first onset, and prolong resistance. It is usually committed to those only who volunteer for it. The com- mand of a forlorn hope is a distinction. It came to Gabriel R. Paul on the 13th of Septem- ber, 1847, before Chapultepec. Listen fora mo- ment to the story of that firery hour, substan- tially as told by Gen. Twiggs in his ‘report of the part taken by his division in the reduction of the City of Mexico and its contiguous works, “At the foot of the hill on which stood the fortress of Chapultepec were defenses, up to which led an open road. In front upon that road Captain ul’s storming party moved alone, General 8: brigade was on the right of the road, and General Quitman’s at- tacking column on the left of it; but on the road was only the storming party, moving in advance of the supporting columns, right in the face of a well-directed fire from a battery at the base of the fortress, and from musketry sheltered by an aqueduct, and also from breast- works across and oneach side of the road, This concentrated fire the stormers had to re- ceive in silence until they got within chargin; distance; but once there they rushed with Sid cheers on the enemy's guns, and with the assistance of Smith’s brigade, which had been thrown forward toward the aqueduct, drove off or killed the cannoniers, and took possession of this strong point. Smith's bri- Care then pushed on and captured a second attery, in rear of the first, when several guns and many prisoners were taken. After some brisk skirmishing the enemy were finally driven from every point, and were pursued some distance by the storming party under command of Capt. Paul. This Labi havin; now been overtaken by the first division, an their specific duties as stormers having been accomplished, were ordered to return and re- join their respective regiments, Upon this af- fair Gen, Twiggs made this brief but emphatic comment: ‘Too much cannot be said in praise of the officers and men who composed the storming force. with Capt. Paul in command.’ “Doubtless this achievement became known to the people of St. Louis, for on his return from the field of war they presented him with a sword in honor of his services, and that | b sword is worn here to-day by his son, the com- mander of the John A. Rawlins post.” THE CIVIL WaR. The speaker carried on the story of Gen. Paul's life while on the Utah expedition, and through his gallant and devoted service to the Union in the late war, until when, in command of a brigade at Gettysburg, a rifle ball de- prived him in an instant of the sight of both eyes. In 1865 he was retired as colonel, his service by giving him full Pay and allowances of # briga- jer-general for life. There was a delegation present from the Gabriel R. Paul Post, and at the close of Judge Drake's oration one of the members stepped forward and read a series of memorial resolu- tions adopted by that post, Decorating the Graves. While the ceremonies described above were in progress committees of ladies engaged in every direction in cemetery strewing flowers upon the thousands of graves of federal soldiers. leading to the tomb of “the unknown.” Here @ dirge was played, and a committee of ladies went through the form of showering with roses the tomb which was already almost completely hidden by masses of flowers, Upon each mound, as is customary, a kad flag was placed.

Before the exercises were ,goncluded the shower that had been threatening all the day came, and many persons who were unable to obtain shelter were pretty thoroughly drenched, AT OTHER BURIAL PLACES. Soldiers’ Home National Cemetery. Some had baskets and nearly all had children and there was a general holiday appearance about the group of people passing along the Rock Creek Church road this morning. The streets curs on the 7th street road brought them to this point. There were some hacks running to tne Soldiers’ Home cemetery, but the major- ity of the visitors preferred to walk. The men carried the baskets and the women the babies, and when there were none of the latter they both united on the basket. As for the children they ran ahead and loitered behind and when they came to a big field of daisies they plunged into the sea of white and yellow and gathered whole armsful. In spite of these and other distractions the tide of travel kept steadily on to the brow of the hill, where the cluster of forest trees cast a grateful shade over the cool green lawns of the Soldiers’ Home ceme- tery. Here the exercises of Memorial Day were held, and the early arrivals looked down the ong lines of white tombstones and at the head of each a tiny American flag fluttered. THE PAVILION WHERE THE EXERCISES WERE HELD was draped in large American flags which con- trasted in color with the white massive pillars supporting the roof. On all sides stretch the smooth lawn, its soft cool green affordin a restful change after the hot and dusty roa The pavilion is located at the foot of a gently rising slope, and around this semi-amphi- theater and beneath the shade of the hand- some oaks were placed the seats for the audi- ence. Shortly atter 9 o'clock the people began to assemble there. But before the regular ex- ercises began a visit was made to the granite mortuary chapel, where lies THE REMAINS OF GEN. LOGAN, It is located near the entrance to the grounds and in front of the pavilion, The massive iron doors were swung wide open, and loving hands were placing flowers upon the casket. Major and Mrs. Tucker, Miss Brady, George Logan, of Cincinnati; Judge Mat- thews, the first controller of the George E. Lemon and other relatives an friends of Gen. Logan were assisted by the members of the Logan Guard of Honor. The vice-president of the guard, Capt. Cutter, J. F. Van Delt, T. R. Senia, Jeff Thomas and others were present. The iron casket was cov- ered with the American colors, and upon it was placed a profusion of flowers, A bouquet was sent by President and Mrs. Harrison, and a shield of red, white and blue from the one hundred and three members of the Illinois legislature who voted for General Logan when ast elected a member of the Senate. The members of John A. Logan Camp Sons of Veterans under the command of the captain,M. A. Skinner, and accompanied by Capt. Thomason visited the tomb in a body and placed there a floral tribute. The interior of the chapel was made bright and fragrant with the flowers. Mrs. Logan, the widow of the de- ceased general, remembered the occasion and ordered from’ Europe, where she now is, flowers to be sent to the tomb. A delegation of the Logan Invincibles, of Baltimore, is ex- pected to visit the tomb during the day. There were no funeral exercises, AT THE SPEAKING STAND. In the meanwhile the audience was gathering at the speaking stand. The third United States artillery fired a national salute and the veterans of the home, under command of Maj.- Gen. O. B, Wilcox, governor of the home, marched to the cemetery, The exercises were under the direction of Jas, M. Pipes, senior vice-commander of the department of the Po- tomac, In calling the assemblage to order, Mr. Pipes made A BRIEF BUT POINTED SPEECH referring to the sentiment which is the reason for the continuance of the celebration of me- morial day, Seats had been placed in front of the stand to accommodaté a large number, and they were nearly all occupied when Mr. Pipes egan his speech. The musical Rect of the iers’ Home | ta was furnished by the Sol and, and the Harmony choral association, the latter being under the leadership of Dr. Thomas Calver. Rev. George Elliott offered the invocation, and Comrade DeWitt C. Sprague read an original poem, which was full of life and vigor. ‘The oration was delivered by Major 8. 8, som cod and was listened to with close atten- tion, THE ORATION, Major Rockwood devoted his address to an eloquent discussion of the present meaning of the exercises of the day and their meaning and purpose to the citizen who shall conduct them when all the veterans have passed away. “, y, these puiie and official honors thus bestowed,” he said, “‘we pledge the whole power of gov- ernment, through its complete circle from municipal to national, to the perpetual support that of the principles for which these men fought and died, and therefore these ceremonies must be declared as solely in the interest of Patriot- ism. The lessons they teach are those of triotic devotion to the cause of national uni vA and universal freedom. Whether we all see it clearly or not we here rededicate ourselves to the service of our common country, and here anew, year by year, set our seal of condemna- tion upon that false and fatal theory of society and government out of which the rebellion sprang.” “One hundred and seven years ago,” he said, Foose were reg men = wept because of ‘ol wh and twenty-four ago there were “4 Teceuse of Al more who wept mattox, Fe Ppo- is ssaben Hy ‘of roger w ‘reasury; | Day as a fixed and permanent institution. This is what the day must mean to the young and to those who shall come after us, if it shall have any meaning at all worthy of the glorious future of the Republic. But to the old veterans themselves, those of us who still march abreast of these calm days of peace and thrift; to all those who saw the cloud no larger than a man’s hand on the southern horizon gather to its bosom the fateful lightnings and the heaven- descending bolts; to those of us who saw the storm gather, burst and spend its fury, there is in the day and its rites what no tongue can utter and what no other generation will ever find. This is our exclusive heritage, which we shall carry down to the grave with us, sacred and inviolable forever; and asthe returning years bring us round and round again to this day, with ever thinning ranks and sores strength, may we always come better prepare and more willing to go over to ‘the great ma- jority,’ never doubting Him, in the hollow of whose hand lightly lies the secure universe.” The exercises were concluded with the bene- diction, and then the committee, visitors and inmates of the Home decorated the graves, THE DECORATION COMMITTEE was composed of the following: Mrs, Gen. O, B. Willcox, Lieut, Col. C. C. Byrne, Major B, F. Rittenhouse, Capt. Robert Catlin, Comrades E. M. Truell, George J. P. Wood, A. J. Eaton, Henry J. Kehr, Sergeant-Major Thomas Evans, Com.

At Congressional Cemetery. Shortly after 8 o'clock East Washington people were on the way to Congressional ceme- tery, that time-honored city of the dead on the banks of the Anacostia. At the gate of the cemetery a delegation of Farragut Post, No. 10, G. A. R., was on hand to receive those who were expected to take partin the decoration exercises. Many persons came by carriages and herdics, and by 9:30 o'clock, when the formal exercises were to take place. there were perhaps 1,500 people in and about the grounds, At that hour, with Weber's band playing a dirge, the company E egiryeimcy comprising mem- bers of the Grand Army, relatives of the honored dead, members of the Mozart Musical association and others, formed a procession under Commander Dinsmore, of Farragut Post, G. A. R., and, headed by the band, marched to the stand, which was in the western part of the grounds, near the monument over Gen, Rawhne grave. Here the members of the band, with the vocal- ists, took seats, and Weber's band opened the exercises by the dirge, “The Honored Dead.” Commander Dinsmore called the assemblage toorder in @ brief address, stating that this was one of the occasions when all should renew the pledge of loyalty and welcome their friends in commemorating the memory of the fallen brave, Rev. Mr. Wilson, chaplain of Farragut Post, offered the invocation and the Mozart associa~ tion sang “Sleep, Sacred Dust.” Comrade George B. Reynolds recited an original poem, “The Soldier’s Wife and Mother,” and the Mozart association sang “Honor the Brave.” Hon. W. W. Curry, of Indiana, then delivered the oration, THE ORATION, Mr. Curry began by referring to the events in our national history which the centennial year commemorates, and gave a brief but in- teresting review of the political changes in parties ‘and opinions up to the late war. lavery was not the cause of the civil war, he said, only its occasion. The real issue was’ be- hind the immediate interest and was envolved in the question ‘Is the United States a nation or aconfederacy of nations?” If it was a vol- untary confederation of sovereign states, then these sovereignties had a right to withdraw from the confederation, however inconvenient the dissolution might be, and to establish such other associations as they might see proper. If the United States was a nation, he asserted, then it was in duty bound to preserve the na- tional life and to coerce whoever sought its dissolution. Slavery gave to this controversy # local and sectional character.

Fitful gusts of wind with dull, leaden skies fave timely warning to the many People on the island of a coming rain, end in order for them to seek’ better shelter than the island afforded. the numer- ous ferry-boats were in constant demand up to the time the rain began to fall. At time the wind increased in velocity te such an extent that the Potomac was trans- formed into a surging, rushing body of water, and the minds of those on the balcony of the boathouse and the gangway reverted to the storm of the last regatta.

She is going very fast, but her back-set Monday night was very disastrous, Rose ia making a hard fight for place, and is g better than was expected. Lady Macbeth peared to-day in what appeared to be @ white flannel sleeveless bathing dress. She wore a bunch of roses on her expansive bosom, which kept time with ber rheumatic swing. The salutation of one of her competitors — “Hello, Stumpy; where d'ye get the dress at?” elicited no re- sponse. “She is bending all her energies to get 8 place, and is reeling off the laps with great regularity, Fleming and the Indian Princess both seem sore and travel with difficulty.
