The two following days will be devoted to pleasure, and Tuesday even- ing the concluding general session will be held, when the annual election of officers will take place. The local committee, in addition to the admirable arrangements which have contrib- uted so much to the comfort of the members and the dispatch of the business, have arranged 8 series of excursions to points in this city and to various localities in the vicinity, which will be appreciated by the visitors. THE LOCAL COMMITTEE COMPLIMENTED. Marcus Baker, the secretary of the local committee; Prof. Richard Rathburn, in charge of the printing, and other members of the com- mittee havo been the recipients of many com- plimentary remarks from those who have been in the habit of attending the annual meetings tnd who are in a position to appreciate the intelligent work which bas reeulted or materi. ally contributed to tho success of the present meeting. It is not generally known, but it is a fact, that the present meeting is one of the largest that has been held for some years. ‘THE LARGEST ATTENDANCE IN YFARS. The number of members who have regis- tered, including the early arrivals of today, exceed 600. Last year at Indianapolis the number of members in attendance was 364. The attendance at some of the preceding meet- ings was as follows: 1889, ‘Toront 424; 1888, Cleveland, 242; 1887, New York, 729: 1886, But’ falo, 445; 1885, Ann Arbor, 364; 1884, Philadel- phia, 1,261 (including members of the British association and other foreign guests): 1883, Minneapolis, 328; 1882, Montreal, 937; 1881, Cin- cinnati, 500; 1880, Boston, 997. Prof. Putman, who been the permanent secretary of the association since 1878, said to- day that from the standpoint of the number of members in attendance as well as the general importance of the papers read, this meeting take n high rank. He is especially pleased with the accommodations provided for the meetings and with ali the arrangements made and the excellent manner in which they have beon carried out. He speaks especially of the work of Prof. Marcus Baker — and Prof. Richard Rathbun. The latter has charge of the printing, and every day a com- plete program is furnished the members, giv- ing the titles of the papers to be read that day in ench of the eight sections and also a com- plete list of members registered, with their ome and city addresses. ‘The latter is an especially valuable feature, as it enables the members to locate each other. THE LADIES’ RECEPTION COMMITTEE. The ladies’ reception committee, of which Miss Alice Fletcher is chairman, has rendered efiiciont aid in looking after the many ladies who attend the meeting either as members or in company with members. y The reception parlor on the second floor ofthe building is wndsomely furnished and some member of the committee is constantly there. The general meeting of the association this morning at 10 o'clock was a very brief one and was devoted to hearing announcements from the secretaries. Tho goneral secretary, Prof. Wiley, stated that during the present meetin, the council had elected 355 new members an had entered 235 papers to be read. The secretary of the local committee, Prof. Baker, repeated the request mado yesterday desiring to go on any of the pro- posed excursions should register their names promptly. This afteruoon, he said, at 5 o'clock would be in waiting at the University jo convey members to different points of interest about the city. TO VISIT THE 200. Ho stated that Dr. Frank Baker, the superin. tendent of the Zoological Park, had invited the members to visit the park this afternoon and those wishing to =o could be driven there. He added that about the time of the proposed visit the elephants would be given their daily bath and this spectacle might prove of interest. To those who visited the weather bureau last evening and saw the weather map made up Prof. Baker announced that Maj. Dunwoody had senta number of the maps of inst evening's prediction, which they could have by calling at the secretary's office. NEW MEMBERS ELECTED.

The various excursions will start as planned, except that the one to Luray will return Sun day forenoon instead of afternoon, there not being large enough guaranty tosecurea special train. Leave Washington 9:80 p. m. tomorrow and reach Washington on the return at noon Sunday. ‘The entire expense will be thus reduced to €7.50, including bill at the Luray Inn. Members aro at perfect liberty to take friends on each of these pay excursions at the Tutes stated. ‘The Mount Vernon excursion will be free to every one wearing the badge of the association, and to others a small charge will be made, tickets to be ready at the office of the local sec- retary tomorrow, Monday and y- Final arrangements for all excursions will be arranged tomorrow, and all interested are in- Vited to visit the office and record their de- cisions. ‘This afternoon at 5 o'clock conches will be on hand at the Columbian University, rain or shine, to carry members on a complimentary trip to the “Zoo” to seo the elephants bathe. Return at 7. It is eminently desirable that those members who wish to go on the Baltimore excursion on Monday enter their names on the list as soon as ible, as it is intended to serve lunch on the steamer and it is absolutely necessary to know the number to be provided for, so that suffi- cient time may be given to the caterer to pre- re thelunch. The Maryland Steel Company association the city steamer, F.C. Latrobe, for the excursion. As the preparation for the lunch will have to be made on Saturday, members are urgently requested to enter their names today. TONIGHT'S LECTURE. This evening by invitation of the council a ;| John B.

BRIEF PERSONAL SKETCHES OF SOME OF THE BEST- KNOWN VISITING MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE, AND THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE. The membership of the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science com- prises practically all the leading scientific men of the continent. While all of the twenty- three hundred or more members do not attend the annual meetings in any one year, yet the meeting here this year has brought together an array of men whose names are known far beyond the spheres of their daily duties. What they have done and what they are doing are of course familiar to those up in the latest phases of scientific re- seerch and thought. ‘Their associates have an opportunity at these annual gatherings to learn something of the Progress of their investigations, and the gen- eral attendance at the meetings of the sections is an indication of the importance which is nt- tached to the papers read. In the columns of Tur Staa have appeared briof biographical sketches of the officers of the association and of the several sections, as well as abstracts all of the papers of goneral interest which have been presented.

But He Was Uncertain What Answer to Make the Charge. Hanover, N. H., August 21.—Judge Samuel W. Cobb of the police court with Attorney General Barnard and Solicitor Mitchell, nc- compamed by room in the Wheelock House this morn- ing to conduct the preliminary examin- ation of the murderer. Almy, in reply to At- torney General Barnard’s questions as to how he felt, said that be had not any sleep and had | been in pain all night. The complaint of mur- der, which was ssr-peasrgera’ f r and said “I don't know what to do.” to Sheriff Foster, a near neighbor of n's, with whom he was well ac- Gpainted, be inquired, “What would you do, lenry?” Foster replied, “I don’t know, Frank.” Attorney General Barnard then suggested ways safe to plead “not guilty,” and in that way his plea stands recorded.
