Columbus, Ohio May 5.-The GaT5er-
Finley faction Of the Ohio Democrats
seem to be in control Of the Democratic
state convention, the first session OF
which was held tonight.
However, Mayor Tom L. Johnson. Of
Cleveland disputes the claim and still
declares he will nominate Atlee Pome-
rome. Of Canton. for governor. johnson
also claims the control Of the new State
central committee, although the view
Of impartial observers is that the COM
mittee stands Il to Z against him.
The Cleveland mayor won out on the
committee on rules and order Of business.
which probably means that the conven-
ton tomorrow viii indorse James E.
Campbell for Senator. In the other COM
mittee meetings tonight johnson was
worsted.
Attacks Harmon.
In a card published to-day. Johnson
made bitter attack upon Judson Har-
mon. OF Cincinnati. who is considered the
most likely nominee for governor. He
charges that his nomination. If achieved.
would be dictated by the liquor interests.
He said: "Harmons nomination is a trap
set by Bryan's enemies 10 catch Bryan's
friends. Il is a foolish attempt on the
part of the liquor interests OF Ohio 20
sidetrack all great issues, and plaster
the whisky label al over the Democrat
party.
Says He Is Attorney for Brewers.
The Democracy. Of Ohio cannot 90 before
the people with a candidate for governor
who is an attorney for the brewing IN
terests. and who is known as the legal
representative and railroad receiver in
Ohio OF the Morgan interests in New
York"
There are warm contests for the various
nominations tomorrow.
/ Aside from the contests between the
Finley and johnson factions. there Is
an independent crowd making much head
way They raise the cry that both OF
/ the old factions should be dispossessed.

ODD LOBSTERS.

Curious Specimens OF Three Species Now
on View at the Aquarium.
Just now the Aquarium has an interest
ing lot of queer Holsters.
Among them are three locust Holsters
from Bermuda. The locust lobster Is 30
called because Of its resemblance after a
fashion to the locust. It is also known as
mother lobster and sea roach. The three
specimens here are each about a foot In
length.
The locust lobster Is chunkily built,
and in color brown, but OF different shades
Of brown ut different times. One OF the
three here now Is Of q lighter brown than
the other two. and its brown legs have
around them color bands Of bright car
dinal and white. Very remarkable, these
legs. And there are feoks OF that bright
feelers or antenn@. which are short, are
cardinal red tipped with black.
II Is probable that the other " locust
HOLSTERS will come out with these colors
and markings when next they shed their
shells.
All Holsters are strange moving crea-
lures. the locust lobster perhaps strongest
to mind the gambollines OF q young colt
or a young calf. and then people looking
at 1t are likely to find 1t laughable.
Another odd lobster here 10 a big spiny
lobster, also from Bermuda, the prevail
ing color o. the species being yellow.
This specimen Is about three feet In
length from tip TO tip. its proportionately
half long.
And then there Ia here q bright blue
lobster. which was taken In local waters.

Of tho early Middle Ages as she has on

dene1 with weary knowledge OF human
degeneracy. while then 1t sosred wild and
credulous through the spirit world. In
those old days man had not been long
separated and O not completely
weaned from his heathcn gods. The
Church had only succeeded In tearing
them from their high estate and trans
forming them from adorcd boinss into
malign creatures. The Church either
became or was from the beginning In
dulgent. and she p%rudently allowed what
she could not prevent. that heather
and Christian tradition should here and
there run together.
Simple folk wished to be on the safe
side. and in the popular mythology there
was a strange mixture OF Greek, Teutonic
and Christian personages. There was
even a cult Of Isis still lingering In the
Middle Ages. The devil was as yet a
person Of no importance. His peculiar
function was exercised by the deposed
gods who, hurt and indignant, lost their
sociable character and became dark and
dreadful powers.
As men no longer honore1 them by
their ministry these fallen deities became
evil spirits wandering and towering In

THE RED PARROT FISH.
Its Many Remarkable Color Changes
Produced while You Wait.

Most, II not all, fishes have the power
Of changing their color moro or less,
which they do chiefly for purposes Of
conoealment from their enemies. The
color cells Of the inner skin Of the hsh are
under is control, and II Is thus enabled to
adapt it's own color to that Of its immedi-
ate surroundings in the water and 20 to
escape observation.
Even the most ordinary fishes may do
wonderful things in this way. The com-
mon Aathsh. half burying itself In sand on
the bottom. will change the color OF that
part, Of It's back that To- left exposed TO
make II match the surrounding sand. and
1t makes so good a match Of u that ever
II the observer Il within three or four
feet II Is hard to tell where the sand
leaves OF and the AatAsh begins.
The tropical fishes with their brighter
ooiors make color changes scarcely more
remarkable. but because Of the bright
ness Of their oolors more strikingly won

red parrot fishes perhaps ten. fourteen
and sixteen inches long. that change
color while you look. but they do 10 20
swiftly and softly that though you are
looking at them you don't realize the
change until Il has come 4
When II is nearest what might be called

head and the upper part OF its body are
olive green. while It's under body 10 a
very bright clear light rcd. A peculi-
arity Of this fish is that its scales. which
are rather large. are each surrounded by
a distinct and well defined marking OF
dark brown. which Ia like a frame for q
scale. and as these scale frames connect
and adjoin the effect on the hshis side

small panes.
