He rushed to that side, reaching there just
in time TO catch Cunningham as heslid down
a hose to the ground. Bill Taylor was half
way down aud when he saw Cunningham
was caught he cried to the night watchma n
that he would give up and for him not to
shoot.
He told Shelton that George was still on
the roof. Shelton believed him, aud stood
guard there to catch him as he came do wn:
A search was made, and II was discover
ed that George had gone. Bill had eyide ntly
told the watchman that George was still
up stairs in order to give him chance to
get away. An examination of the jail re-
vealed the fact that bolt had been cut n
the back of one of the cells. This gave the
prisoners access to the corridor.
Next they went up on top of the cage
through the garrett out through the scutte
onto the roof. They took a fifty-foot hose
with them, fastened it on top of the roof.
and George Taylor must have been the
first TO go down. as no opportunity was
given him to get down after the night
watchman discovered their attempt to
escape. AS soon as 1t was found that
George was gone, a pair of hounds were
secured, and they were put on the trail.
They followed 1t TO the back gate, but
made no progress beyond TO amount to
anything. Young Leonard, of Norborn,
a brother-in-law of one of the Taylors, has
been here today.

MIMICRY OF INSECTS.
Instructive Lecture In the Saturday y
Scientific Course.


"The Mimicry of Insects was very in
terestingly and ins tructively described
yesterday afternoon by Prof. Leland o.
Howard, chief of the Bureau of Entomology
In the Agricultural Department, in the
lecture room of Smithsonian Institute.
The lecture was made doubly interesting,
especially to the Juvenile part OF the large
audience, by the numerous excellent Illus
trations of specimens OF the insect king
dom.
The title of the subject, Insect Mimic
Ty,' does not refer as one might suppose,
entirely TO the actions and habits OF the
insect world, but also to the form and color
of the insects themselves. This, said the
lecturer, was as much the result of the
necessities of preservation as
the environment in which the insect is.
In this connection it may be noticed that
all insects, worms, caterpiilers and bugs
are nearly of the same color as their sur
roundings. For example, bugs, insects
and caterpillers will generally be of the
same color as the leaves, either top or
bottom, they feed upon, and, again, it will
be noticed that the insects along the sea
shore are generally of light sandy shade.
In this way the colors of insects are
what may be known as either protective
or aggressive, the similarity of color be
tween the insect and its surrounding being
a means of keeping them hidden and so
protected from their natural enemies, and
in the other case this color warns the
weaker of the destructive presence.
The last picture shown was that of the
"monkey chrysaiis,' q butterfly found
on the south coast of Africa. The head
had so close resemblance to that of a
chimpanzee that to the casual observer
it would be difficult to discern the Diff
ference.
The lecture next Saturday viii he the
last of the present course, after which the
course on anthropology viii begin.

BERMUDA MEN RETICENT.
Nothing to Tell of the Seizure at
Honduras.

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE steamer
Bermuda, which arrived here last night
with cargo of bananas fromP Puerto C Cortes,
Honduras, and which recently engaged in
a filibustering expedition from New 7 ork
10 Cuba, was not docked till late this
afternoon. .t.t.s..
All attempts at gaining information re-
garding the filibustering eXpe dition or the
reported seizure OF the vessel by the
Honduras authroities met with the same
rebuff that attended last nights efforts.
John d. Hart, TO whom the vessel is con-
signed, stated that she was docked this
afternoon, but beyond this he would not
kan attempt to learn the reason OF Capt
O'Brien for leaving the vessel before the
arrival at this port was met with a frow,
from Mr.. Hart, who turned on his heel
and walked into his office.
From what he did say, however, 1T was
evident that Mr.. Hart does not anticipate
any legal trouble as an outcome of the
cruise. OF late there have been intina-
tions that arrests would follow the arrival
of the Bermuda at this port.
Assistant District Attorney Raiston to-
day said that it was hardly likely that
any arrests will be made. DR.. Congosto,
the Spanish consul, declared that nothing
has been done looking to any arrests or
any investigation up to the present time."
The Bermuda will remain here for several
days. 9. :.

G. Brennan Pollock for the most original
costume; Master Johnnie Mace for the
pret ttiest boys costume and Mr.. Paul

century girl.
Three other attractive costumes were
those OF Mr.. Lee Pitchlynn. as a flower
girl; Mr.. D. Macdonald, as an English
peasant girl, and Mr.. w. R. Cox, as q
Chinese mandarin.
The Judges were Messrs. Fred Bugher,
G. W. Baltzey. and W. s. Towers

from 2:3S to $50 Id.
The handicap race was for two miles
and a half. the entries against Douoghue

Inglefretz, who made the distance in $40,
Donoghue losing by one second.
, One OF the incidents of the evening was
the unfurling of the Cuban flag with the
United States flag, the former bearing
the legend. "yiva Cuba Libre.' The
display was greeted with enthusiastic
cheers.
Mr.. Ed P Hewes and his assistant, Mr..
Harry Mace, who have had charge of the
skates department, did u lot OF hard work
~all season in the most courteous and
agreeable manner.

BRYANT's POEMS ILLUSTRATED.
Mr.. LIE Breton's Lecture at the Car

roll Institute.
The history of the life and work of
William Cullen Bryant wa stold in a most
interesting manner last evening at Carroll
Institute Hall by Mr.. lbert j. LIE Breton,
of the Capital Camera Club.
During the evening Mr.. LIE Breton re-
cited several Of the most beautiful poems
OF the poet, each sentiment of which was
interestingly Illustrated with excellent
stereopticon views
Among the poems illustrated were the
Love Song "A Forest Hymn" "Green
River 1.-The Tide" and "Thonatopsis.'
OF the last, the lecturer said it was the
general impression that the poet wrote
this most beautiful poem when only seven
teen years of age. This, in a measure, he
said, is true, but not wholly SO; for, the
fact is, that both the introductory lines and
the great part of the conclusive were
written in after years.
In connection with his remarks on the
life of Bryant, pictures Of his old home,
places he frequented and his room were
shown,

gates after an exciting conference this
morning decided not to bolt. There was
no vote but the sentiment was strongly
against it. Perry Belmont was in favor
of Immediate withdrawal as was Con-
gresham George B. Mcclellan.
There was a rumor that New York
had decided to remain in the convention
but not vote for candidates. Governor

was taken. believe that the senti-
ment is conservative and tends toward
our staying in. It is possible we may

The gold men were angry this morn
ing and held conferences in various
leaders rooms. They claim that the
silver men are unseating delegations
with no apparent cause than to simply
aid them in pushing their plans through
and that they have thrown Demo-
cratic precedent to the winds.
It is pretty safe to assume that the
leaders will not go out, no matter what
their future action may be, but some Of
their followers may.
On the other hand the silver leaders

claim that the gold men have put them
in this position. The meeting of the
gold standard men which did not break
up until an early hour this morning, is
quoted as an example.
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky said
this morning: You will notice that
the men who made incendiary speeches
advocating boiling the ticket and plat
form are men whose states have no
gold representation and who are not
delegates. I am told that Mr.. John P.
Irish of California, made a brilliant and
pointed effort in that direction and that
General Bragg and Franklin McVeagh
also were for a bolt I should like to
know by what right they interfere with
the work of the delegates sent here by
the people. Even Mr.. Whitney of New
York is an interloper, not having been
sent as a delegate to this convention.
What right have such people to as
sumo to run this convention"
It is only right to say that there was
no mention of boiling the convention
made at the gold mems meeting last
night, except when Mr.. Irish of Cali
fornia, said in closing his speech: well
if something happens, 1 know what 1
shall do
Mr.. Coudert, Governor Russell of
Massac husetts and Mr.. Whitney were
very cautions in their remarks and
We're averse to hasty or i'll tempered
action, no matter what occurred.
General Bragg made the statement
that he would not support a silver plat
form or ticket, and Messrs Cultivate
and Holden of Ohio, both claim that
such a ticket and platform would take
600 votes from the Democracy in
their state. There was some talk of an
Independent ticket, the whole matter
finally resulted in the adoption of a
resolution for a committee of one from
each state to feel the pulse of the peO-
pie on the subject and report back in
August to Senator Gray of Delaware.
When New York met after midnight
there was some more bitter feeling
when the action of the silver men, on
the Michigan contest had become
known. The meeting lasted until 8
o'clock.
Mr.. Coudert, Henry Purroy and Con-
gresham Sulzer deprecated bolt and
Perry Belmont, Roswell P. Flower and
a few others said that it was the only
recourse left for good Democrats.
