After hearing argument of counsel for the defendant the judge continued his remarks, saying that Mr. Brady had a right to prevent Mr. Prince from taking the picture. “He had a right to drive a horse in front of Mr. Prince's instrument,” said the judge, ‘and besides its being an assault it was s very repro- hensible spectacle. “There were cabinet officers and many men of brains of the country assembled in front of | ‘@ public building and it was that they could not photographed without this serambie.”” Mr. Prince was fined $25 and the colored man was acquitted, as there was no proof against him. ‘What Mine.

Another occasion today which will draw to- ther « large company is the birthday tea of judge Drake, who will thus celebrate the com- pletion of eight desades of a busy life. Mrs. Crosby, wife of Admiral Crosby, gave luncheon on Thursday. ‘Mrs. Janin gave a luncheon yesterday. Dir. and Mrs. A. C.,Barney, who have been only a few weeks established in their new home on Khode Island avenue, gave « house-warming tea yesterday afternoon. Their friends came in hundreds to congratalate them upon their sumptuous home, which in its absolute fresh ness and tasteful decoration of spring flowers seemed an ideal residence. The house is full of artistic souvenirs of travel. Mrs. Barney is an urtist, and her judicious selection and grouping of the beautiful objects is greatly admired. ‘The picture gullery adds another to the constantly increasing number in this city. Mrs. Barney wore a dainty gown of cream brocade, trimmed in jeweled gilt braid. Mrs. N.S. Lincoln, Mrs. George L. Bradley, Mrs. Hammond, Sirs. Guzman and Miss’ Edie pleasantly assisted in entertaining. Among those present were Mrs. McKee, Mr. and Mrs. W. Thompson Harris, Dr. and ‘Mrs. Van Rey- pen, Admiral and Mrs. Greer, the Misses Hunt, r. aud Mrs. Langhorne, Mrs. McMichael, Mra. A. C. Tyler, Mrs. and Miss Condit Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Cropper, Lieut. Alger, Miss ‘Taylor, Mr. and Mre It Fitch Shopatd,’ Mrs. MeKay Capt. and Mrs. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Pollok an Mr. und Mrs. Barry Buckley. ‘The Misses Hunt, who managed as well as participated in the presentation of “L’Afri- caine” during the past season, realized a little over $3,600 from the two performances—here and in Baltimore. ‘This money was turned over to the Home for Incurables. With # small balance over that sum they selected a music box, to cost $75, but for that money Mrs. Met- gerott presented to the home an instrument valued at three times that sum. The music box is asource of great pleasure to the inmates of the home. L’Afracaine was so successful, both in an artistic and financial way, that its projectors are seriously thinking of presenting next winter uch more ambitious performance, the details of which are now being talked over. The family of the Secretary of State will probably spend the summer at Bar Harbor Sgain. Mrs. Dararosch will be with her parents, as her husband is going to Europe for some time. Senator Cameron's family will go early in the summer to their country place in Pennsylvania, but during the season will be at one or another of the leading resorts. Senator and Mrs. Dolph will not leave hero until late in May, as they are conscious the weather is much more pleasant here than at their western home. | Besides, their young chit- dren are in school here and they do not want to interrupt their studies at this early date. Mrs. F. B. Farnsworth, 1608 16th street north- west, gave a very pretty dancing party to her daughter, Miss Florence, last evening.

MASON'S PAPER. “The Birth of Invention” was the theme of mn interesting paper by Prof. Otis T. Mason, Ph. D., curator of the National Museum. He said man became the first inventive animal, and by means of this distinguishing trait he promises to burrow deeper than the mole, to fly faster than the eagle, to outstrip the jn the water, to weave fabrics that shall be the envy of all cat- erpillars, to shame tho deaver's engineering, to see in the night better = =] eae than the owl, to take each achievement of nature and perfect it, to domesticate tho winds, the water, the wild beasts and even the bolts of Jove. By the most painful and laborious series of offorts cach grout industry of modern times has come to be what it is and we may trace it buck almost to its source. It 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. Inall ages a temporary advan- tage is given to the erentor of a new means of happiness, but the time has come to honor their memories with substantial monuments. ‘Their names are lost and we cannot find their graves, but we may erect a worthy memorial in the National Museum at Washington to the un- known dead and give them tardy thanks for all that we enjoy. DR. J. 8. BILLINGS’ Essay. “American Inventions and Discoveries in Medicine, Surgery and Practical Sanitation” was the title of a paper by Dr. J. S. Billings, United States army. The application of the patent system to medi- cine in this country, he ment to a considerable amount of capital in pro- duction, and to a much larger amount in adver- tising, has contributed materially to the reve- nues of the government and has made a great deal ‘of work for the medical profession. He knew, he said, of but four secret remedies which have been really valuable additions to the prectical medicine and the compo- ese is now known. Most of such resources of sition of all ¢ 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- tical medicine made in :the United States, he said, have been in surgery in its various fap bad no dealt that Gka rogr: fe bad no doubt that greatest 88 in medical science during the next ne 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- greased biological and medical knowledge.

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 and others who had taken an interest in the celebration.
