Embraces the Catholic Faith.
Consistent to the last, DUrrant died
protesting religion. But he died, &C:
cepting at the last. moment, the COM,
forts of the CATHOLIC church instead of
those of the Baptist faith in which he
was reared. Rev. RAIDER, Protestant
minister, had arranged to ascend the
scaffold with Durrant, but the minister
would not say that he thought Durrant
innocent, and the condemned man de-
clined to accept his services unless
RAIDER professed belief in his innocence.
Then it was that the once ardent Bap-
list turned to the Catholic church for
consolation, and called upon Father
Lagan, priest who had frequently Wis
ited him in prison, to attend him.

; ANOTHER SApPEAL.%
5ccrctnry, ShermanssAgnin Asks for
Aid for the Cnb2nS.


Washington, Jan. lO.-The following
proclamation was issued Saturday:
Department of State. Washington, Jan.
S, 1S9S.-To the Public: The undersigned,
secretary" of state of the United States had
the honor on the oath of December to make
known to all chartably disposed people in
this country the appeal of the president for
aid in. the form of money or supplies toward
the speedy relief of the distressing desti-
tuition and suffering which exists among
the people in Cuba.
1.-The gratifying interest which his coun-
trymen have shown in all parts of our land
in that humane appeal has led the president
to recognize the need of orderly and con-
certed effort, under Well-directed control.
if timely assistance is to be given by the
public to the sick and needy of Cuba. He
has, therefore, appointed, with the coopera-
ton of, the American Red Cross, the New
York chamber Of commerce and one of the
leading representatives OF the religious
community, a central Cuban relief COM
mittee with headquarters in New York city,
composed Of the following members:
Stephen E. Barton, chairman, second vice
president of the American National Red
Gross; Charles A. Schieren, treasurer, a
member of the New York chamber of COM
merce; and Louis Klopsch. proprietor Of
the Christian Herald.
1T will be the office of the committee or
ganized not only to receive and forward to
the United States consul general at Havana
such money and necessary supplies as may
be contributed by the people of the United
States, but to invoke in it's own name and
through the three great interests: it fifty
represents the concurrent effort of local
relief boards throughout the United States
and to invite the kindly aid Of the transport
tation agencies Of the country for the
prompt conveyance Of contributed supplies
to the seaboard and their shipment thence
to Cuba.
1.-THE consul general at Havana is in
turn assured of the effective cooperation of
every available agency in the island of
Cuba, in order that life may be saved and
suffering spared. The Spanish government,
welcoming the aid thus rendered, will ia
cilitate the work, and to that end will ad-
nit to Cuba free of duties and charges ali
articles otherwise liable to tax when duly
consigned to the consul general.
by direction of the president, the under
signed appeals to the people in every city
and town, to municipal authorities thereof,
to the local boards of trade and transporta-
ton, to corporations and others producing
the necessaries of life, and to all whose
hearts are open to the cry of distress and
atfliction, to second the generous effort now
being made, and by well-drected endeavor
make its success truly responsive to the
sentiments of charity that have ever char
acterized the American people.

ERRORS OF INSTINCT.
Strange Mistakes OF Insects Which
Deny the Power of Selection.

The opinion is still very generally
entertained that with animals, especial
ly those of the lower order, instinct is
the determining guide that incites to
the proper performance of action or
function, and that as such it is far less
liable to err than the reasoning of in
telligence. Few scientific prejudices
have been more difficult to@oVercome
than that which removes from animals
their reasoning faculty, and probably
many years will yet elapse before it
will be recognized that all animals
which come under ordinary observa
ton are endowed with the same kind of
faculty, although developed in various
degrees of a descending scale, which
distinguishes man and the so-called
higher organisms. The bee and ant
have been Frequently held up as the best
opponents of the Exceptional" animals
which developed reasoning powers;
and it was rude shock, not only to the
laymen, but as well to the scientist,
when Sir John Lubbock, as the result
Of an almost endless series of expert
ments, announced few years ago that
these ano1als were ''sadly wanting"
both in their instructive and intellectu-
al traits. In other words, there were
many times when both instinct and in
telligence erred for them. -
Some most remarkable instances Of
the erring of instinct among insects
have recently been noted by natural
lists, and they add an interesting chap
ter to the physiology of sense. One Of
these was the case of butterfly, which
persisted in visiting the artificial flow
ers on a lady's bonnet, installing them
for the natural product. Another and
perhaps more striking, instance of fault
is noted by the distinguished French
entomologist, NJ. R. Blanchard, and
concerns a species of sphynx moth,
which entered hotel room in the half
obscurity of the early morning, and twas
found to fit with direct intent to def
mite parts of the ceiling. These were
decorated with paintings of leaves and
flowers, and to the latter approached
in repeated attacks, thrusting forward
it's proboscis as though intent upon in
truding it into the opened cups of the
beguiling flowers. After repeated fail
ures and the resulting encouragement,
the effort was given up, and the sphynx
escaped by the window. This case of
self-deception is interesting in another
way, inasmuch as it proves that it is
not always the sense>of smell, but at
times that of sight, which directs in
sects to the foWers.-Louisville Cour-

DURRANT,S CRIME.
AtrOcious Murders of Two Young
Women in n Baptist Church.

Women in a Baptist Church.
William Henry Theodore Durrant, who
was hanged at the state prison at San
Quentin Friday, gave his life in exchange
for the lives Of two young women, who
were members Of the church to which he
belonged. While Durrant was convicted
of but one murder under the law, he was
held responsible by public opinion for the
murder Of both Blanche Lamont and Min
ME williams, and it is felt that his death
expates one crime as much as the other.
Blanche Lamont disappeared on April
g. 1895, and was never seen alive afterwards.
She left the home Of her aunt, Mrs. c. G.
Noble, on that day to go to school, and for
.ten days no trace of her could be found.
