Prominent Guests Present and the Ad- dresses Made+Letter From Mr. Butterworth. ‘The Patent Law Association of Wash- ington held its inaugural banquet Saturday night at the Raleigh, having in attendance about forty members bes‘des distingulshed guests from this city, Philadelphia, New York, Buffalo and Saa Francisco. Gen. Ellis Spear, the president of the associa- tion, presided, and in his opening remarks stated that the objects of the association gre to raise the standard of professional Practice among patent law specialists, to promote closer social and businese rela- tions between its members, to secure need- ed reforms in the patent laws and to es- tablish and maintain a scientific and law Ubrary, with special reference to the needs and convenience of resident and non-resi- dent patent attorneys. In addition to Presi- dent Spear the association has for its officers Mr. Edgar M. Marble, first vice president; William D. Bafiwin, second vice president; Jas. L. Norris, treasurer; Fred- erick Benjamin, secretary. The affairs of the association are governed by a board if managers, composed of the officers and Ernest Wilkinson, Wm. Cranch McIntire, Jesse H. Whitaker, W. H. Doolittle, Robert J. Fisher and Wm. G. Henderson. The guests present were Mr.. Justice Shepard, Mr. Justice Bradley, S. T. Fisher, assistant commissioner of patents; A. W. Greely and J. P. Brickenstein of the pat- gnt office board of appeals, Profs. Otis Mason and J. E. Watson of the Smithsonian Institute, Messrs. John Weidersheim and Jerome McCarty of’ the Philadelphia bar, Edmund Withelm of Buffalo, John Howard White of Boston, L. Warren Seeley of San Francisco, Mr. Frank B. Noyes and Mr. W. S. Hutchins. The commissioner of patents was unable to be present, but sent a let- ter which he indicated covered what he would have said had he been able to be present. In the letter Mr. Butterworth ex- pressed himself emphatically as to abuses by alleged patent solicitors who had neither the legal nor technical training to equip them for the profession, and whose prac- tices in obtaining money from inventors or those who thought they were inventors, he scored. He assured the association that both he and the Secretary of the Interior would co-operate with it in any practical measures which would protect inventors from harmfuf practices. ~ Informal addresses were made in re- sponse to calls from the chairman by Jus- tice Shepard, Mr. Marble, Mr. Weldersheim, Mr. Wilhelm, Mr. Fisher, Prof. Watson, Prof. Mason, Mr. Whitaker, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Baldwin, the speakers addressing their remarks to the history and growth of patent laws, the need for changes in the laws and the abuses of practice before the patent office, which have become es- pecially prominent during the past two or three vears Mr. Baldwin related many interesting In- cidents of the conduct of the patent office im the early days of its history. Mr. Fish- er said that he believed that the organiza- tien of the patent attorneys marked a new era in the profession and meant many re~ forms in the patent laws and rules, among which he hoped would be a new and thor- ovgh reclassification of patents on ‘chrono- logical lines. Justice Shepard paid a high tribute to members of the profession who had business before the Court of Appeals, who in technical matters had been, as all good lawyers should always be, of great assistance to the~ couft. Mr. Marble thought that the government fees in patent cases should be graded according to the difficulty involved in the consideration of the various classes of inventions, and that @ part of the Jarge surplus earned by the patent office might be used to help poor inventors who had inventions of great value.

Mr. Whitaker referred to the clap trap meth- ods of alleged patent agents, who take ad- vantage of the fact that the law fixing the qualifications for practice before the-paten: Office is somewhat vague, and cited an in- stance of recent experience where one of these agents had been compelled to refund mecneys obtained from an inventor because of fear that he would be criminally prose- cuted. Mr. Rogers’ speech was extremely witty. Altogether, the affair was a great suc- cess, and reflects credit on the committee having it in charge, which was composed of Messrs. Doolittle, Rogers and Somes. It is the intention of the association to have other banquets during the year. The mem- bers present were T. H. Alexander, Joseph C. Atkins, L. 8. Bacon, W. D.

A well-dressed lady got off a car with a baby over a year old in her arms, and she asked one of Storty’s ttle sons to hold the child and feed it with some candy. The boy did so, and so well did he attend to his task that he did not notice the mother take the next car into Georgetown. When he went to look for the woman, after holding the child for half un hour, she could not be found. The boy turned the child over to his father, and the father got mad. Old man Storty has a large number of little Btorties, and he did not want another mouth to feed. He noti- fied the police of the occurrence, and, though an attempt will be made to find the mother, it ss doubtful if it will be success- ful. In the meanwhile the ‘child will be turned over to the board of children's guardians. The trouble among the members of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church over the reap- Pointment of the pastor will be investigat- ed tonight behind closed doors. The publ cation of the story in The Star Saturday has caused a decided commotion, and Bish- op Handy telegraphed from Baltimore yes- terday that he would be in this city today and, with the presiding elder of this con- ference, who lives in Anacostia, will in- quire into the matter. While the members of the congregation are not saying any- thing about the affair, it is virtually ad- mitted that the board of trustees of the church has asked the recall of Pastor Ar- nold, though it is denied that a petition is in circulation asking the bishop to re- consider the action of the recent Baltimore conference. An alarm was turned in yesterday after- noon shortly before 5 o'clock from box 72 by Policeman Witt for a fire in the grocery store of Conrad Arabin, at the southwest corner of 30th and O streets. The building is owned by the Misses Fowler. The blaze was extinguished after damage to the ex- tent of about $5 had been done, though the origin of the fire could not be ascertained. This is the second time within a brief pe- riod that a mysterious fire has been start- ed in this place. Workmen commenced today to improve the interior of the Gaston Memorial Hall, at Georgetown University, so as to make the place presentable for the annual com- meneement exercises of the institution. The old and unfinished galleries of the place will be removed and 4 new one erected in their stead. The plans call for a very attractive gallery, which will be in keep- ing with the rest of the large hall and at the same time afford increased facilities for seating. Mr. Paul J. Pelz, the archi- tect, has drawn the plans for the improve- ment, and the work will be pushed for- ward as rapidly as possible. IN THE RIVER. Body of an Unknown Colored Woman Found. Jamcs Smothers, colored, was strolling along the river front near the foot of 15th street, about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when his attention was attracted to a dark object floating in the river. The object proved to be the body of an unknown col- oved woman, and when the police wera called, the body was rescued from the wa- ter and taken to the morgue. A large crowd gathered about the river front, but none of them were able to identify the body, nor was any one found who could throw any light on the woman’s death. When the morgue was reached an examina- tion of the body did not disclose any marks of vivlence other than a wound on the back of one hand, and there was nothing to show how she had managed to get in the river. This wound of the hand, it was thought, may have been received in a fight, or ft may have been inflicted by her hand coming in contact with a stone or piece of wood. It was thought by the police that her body had been in the water for two or three Gays, although it -was in a good-state of preservation. There was only one shoe on the woman, and her clothing indicated that she was in poor circumstances. She wore a plain gingham dress and light coat. I: is thought that the women may have been a rag picker on the dump not fat from the bathing beach, and that ‘she ac- cidentally fell overboard and was drowned. Unless her body is soon identified and claimed by friends, it will be sent to pot- ter’s field for interment. ———— Miss Virgie Luckett’s May Ball. The second annual May ball of Miss Vir- gie Luckett’s dancing class was given at the Columbia Theater Saturday afternoon. A large number of the perents and friends of the little participants was in attend- ance, and flowers and applause were almost continuous. All of the children did well, and Miss Virgie Luckett was recalled sev- eral times for her splendid exhibitions. The children who took part were Mamie Vogler, Misses Lee, Thompson, Rupertus, Donovan, Cora McCarty, Edith Luckett, Nellie Hol- lend, Nettle Franz, Grace Saunders, Mary Hunt, Leona, Mora and Lily Mattell, Mag- Bie Keefe, Veasie Metzel, Helen Forker, Hazel Smart Busch, Mildred Coons and Oliver Gompert, Carl Harbough, Eddie Keefe, Bailey McGowan and Dan Luckett, in the grand march, and Nellie Le Cain, Cora McCarty, Nettie Franz, Mazie Orbello, Birdie Bowlen, Grace Lee, Mildred Coons, Edith Luckett, Mary Unworthy, Masters Keefe, Harbough and McGowan, Helen Forker, Maggie Keefe, Leona Mattell, Nel- Me Holland, Misses .

Seymput. ¢nd drowned in the Poto- mac near Mount /,Veqpon yesterday, has cast gloom over theilarge circle of friends who knew and: esteemed him, and keen sympathy is being extended to his mother and brother in their aMiction. Mr. Phillips, who-was an ardent lover of outdoor sport: and recreation, left Wash- ington yesterday morning with Mr. J. Van Ness Phillip and Mr. Seymour, on the Iat- ter’s yacht, for a sail on the river. When near Mount Vernon the.yacht, which is a smail- one, was put about on a tack, a sud- den puff of wind threw the boom around rapidly, and Mr. Phillips was caught and thrown into the water. Mr. Phillips was a good swimmer, and’ When he came to the surface was seen to strike out. The yacht had run-ahead, and Mr: Seymour and Mr. Fhillip quickly put out,a beat to go to their friend’s assistance. A party of gentlemen on a steam yacht,, which ‘passed at the time, also lowered a boat, but both efforts ‘were useless, as Mr. Phillips-after two or three attempts to keep. afloat had gone down and was seen ne.more. It is:-believed that the heavy boom struck Mr. Phillips in the head when it passed over him, and that the suction re me Gneoni Seeks which passed close’to‘him er he wen’ overboard, completed hfs disability. Search was once made for the body, but with- out avail, and a general alarm was then sent out along the river. The body of Mr. Phillips was recovered this morning by the police boat and brought up to the city and placed at Gaw- ler’s undertaking establishment. Mr. Phillips was a member of one of the most distinguished of the old families of Washington, and was highly popular in club and seetal eircles.-. He was unmarried and resided with his widowed mother, Mrs. E. Phillips, and hig brother, Mr. P. Lee Phillips, at 1707,H street northwest. He was a lawyer and had already achieved much distinction in international law. He drew up a code of jaws for'the State De- partment several years ago. He was at the time of his death one of the counsel for the Cuban delegation tn the United States. _—_—_—— Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—N. C. Turner, F.C. Weir, Phila- delphia; L. Kountz, New York; W. R.

While the rush of visitors to the city by the sea is not so large as it was during the week preceding Easter, yet ‘there are enough people here to make things decided- ly lively and interesting. The weather clerk has favored the town. When it seem- ed necessary to send rain, he sent it dur- ing thé night, when every one was locked in the arms of Morpheus; clearing the skies at daybreak and allowing Old Sol to shed his genial rays over the earth during the daylight hours. The air has been soft and balmy enough to make strolling on the boardwaik a pleasure; and a seat in one of the many open pavilions, or in the soft sand of the shell-dotted beach, was not un- acceptable to those who would enjoy to the utmost the luxury of a sun bath in the open air. ‘The various amusement places along the boardwalk are getting down to business, and it is only a matter of a short time when the hurly burly of the summer sea- son will be with us in full force. A num- ber of new amusements are promised for the coming summer. Prominent among these will be the new music hall, for which two or three sites are said to be under con- sideration. If a suitable location can be se- cured at any reasonable price the hall will certainly be built. It is p to give vaudeville entertainment of the highest class. The old Opera House will also run vaudeville during the summer. The ocean pier has been greatly improved since last season. The marine trolley road is now completed .and running smoothly. It is said that Herbert’s 22d Regiment Band of New York, which biew its way to fame under the direction af the late Pat Glimore, contemplates locating here for the summer. If this be so, it may be neces- sary to erect a new building suitable for its concerts. The management of the St. Charles Hotel have inaugurated a series of Sunday even- ing sacred concerts. The concerts are given by the regular hotel orchestra, re- cently brought here from New York. The programs are of a high degree of merit. A Merry Local War. A merry war is on between city council and the board of health over the question of removing the garbage crematory to a point more remote from the city. Contrary to the usual order of things, council favors the removal of the plant, while the health board opposes it. The usual charges of personal interest and land deals have, of course, been made on both sides, but they are evidently without foundation. The members of the board of health, under whose management the plant is operated, say there is nothing prejudicial to the pub- lic health in the present location, and op- pose the removal on the score of economy. They say that all cause for complaint will be removed when some contemplated im provements are made. Just how the con- troversy will end is as yet a matter of doubt. The result, at any rate, will affect the hotel colony but little, the present lo- cation of the plant being remote from tke hotel district. Great preparations are under way for the reception of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of New Jersey, who will hold their state encamp- ment here June 9, 10 and 11. Fully 10,000 visitors are expected. A delegation of prom- inent citizens, headed by State Commander Stahl and Mayor “Franklin P. Stoy, will journey to Washington on Wednesday next, 12th instant, for the purpose of formally in- viting President McKinley to participate in the exercises. They feel confident of his acceptance. Bicycle Path to Pleasantville. Private enterprise is building a new bi- cycle path from this city to Pleasantville, six miles distant. The route is a delight- ful one across the salt meadows. On reach- ing Pleasantville splendid roads are found skirting the shore for a distance of twenty miles. The locality is a paradise for cyclers. A new county road has just been completed, reducing the distance between Camden and Atlantic City from seventy- four to fifty-nine miles, and bicycle runs between the two cities are of daily occur- rence. A Woman's Sabbath Alliance, auxiliary to the National Sabbath Alliance, has been formed, its primary vubject. being the clos- ing of amusement places and saloons Sun- Gay. The better element heartily favors the movement. A branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association is also con- templated. Longport, Atlantic City’s beautiful sub- urb, is rapidly coming to the front as a cottage settlement. A number of new cot- tages have recently been erected, and the piace is waking up generally. It is reached by trolley cars, which run at short inter- vals, in twenty-five minutes. G. Frank Cope, late of the Kenilworth Inn and the Grand Atlantic Hotel, has purchased the Berkshire Inn, on South Virginia avenue. He will open the house May 13. z Editor Henry Watterson of the Louts- ville Courier-Journal is at the Brighton, in company with Mrs. Watterson, for a stay of several weeks. He visited Washington during the week. Admiral Stembel, U. 8. N., accompanied by Mrs. Stembel, came here from Wash- irgton Wednesday evening to enjoy the sunshine and salt breezes. They are guests at Haddon Hall. Gov. Daniel H. Hastings and Attorney General Henry C. McCormick of Pennsyl- vania were among the distinguished visit- ors of the week. They came and departed quietly, seeking a day of rest, and very few people knew of their visit until after they had gone home. Col. H. Clay Wood, assistant adjutant general, U. S. A., retired, was a guest at Haddon Hall during the wek. Mrs. Wood accompanied him. : Col. I. H. Janeway was another military visitor during the week. Col. Frank Supplee and family of Baltt- more are enjoying a sojourn by the sea. They are at Haddon Hall. Miss Esther,L. Danforth and Miss Dasie M.

A Once Wealthy Resid: Ends His Days in the Almshouse. J. Seaton Donoho, a one-time wealthy resident of this city, died yesterday in the District alms house, aged seventy-eight years. Donoho's father was among the most prominent residents of Washington in his day, and the son was educated and possessed of unusual talent. He and a brother inherited considerable Property from their grandfather, Judge Seaton, and once lived at their ease, but unfortunate speculations stripped them of everything, and after becoming for a time the beneficiary of the bounty of friends, the subject of this notice four years ago became an inmate of the alms house, where he remained until he died. The authorities advertised for his rela- tives, but, none coming forward to claim the remains, a fund was raised for their proper interment, and they will tomorrow be buried in Rock Creek cemetery by those who knew and admired him.

An entrance was effected by boring a hole through the door and sliding the bolt. They managed to get away with 40 cents, some cakes, apples and a small quantity of sausage. Mr. Tolson was not aware that his ‘place had been. visited in this manner until he went to open the store Friday morning. He has reported the loss to the police, and an investigation is being made. ‘Miss Carne M. Cotterill, who lives at No. 1705 Corcoran si was robbed Saturday of a chatelaine watch, attached knob pin.

Jose; Fe He Faced the Court. Fagitt’ rn Aspect as Of all the individuals, battered and bruised, banged and bloody, who have ap- peared in the dock of the Police Court within the recollection of the oldest official, Joseph Fugitt today easily broke the rec- ord. Vagrancy was the charge, and, rais- ing several bandages sufficiently to permit of articulation, Joe mumbled “not guilty.” The substance of the testimony of sever- al policemen was that for months past Fugitt has not drawn a sober breath. He has a sort of an ark at the foot of 2d street, where small boys congregate to drink. When attempts have been made to arrest him he has made it a practice to enter a row boat and push out into the river. “I appeal to you for justice,” said Joe, when given a chance to speak. “I haven't been staggering drunk for six months. “I cannot @oubt the statements of all these policemen,” said the judge. “You'll have to go to the workhouse for fifteen days.” “If you send me down, judge,” appealed the prisoner, “they'll burn my ark. “And if you continue drinking whisky,” added the court, “you are very likely to burn.
