Lecture of Mr. L. 0. Howard on Inter- esting Facts in Entomology. The lecture by Mr. L. O. Howard, chief of the bureau of entomology in the Agri- cultural Department, Saturday afternoon in the National Museum, on the’ subject of insect mimicry, was intensely interesting to a large audience. The illustrations were many and excellent and the lecturer gave a most fascinating description of how in sounds; form, color and habits, insects affect imitation of other objects animate and inaminate. Irseets along the sea- shore have usually the color of the sand. Those that feed on particular plants take their color, and all worms and bugs ure of the general hue of their surroundings. This law is either for the protection of the insect from enemies or to aid him in the aggressive business of captuing his daily food. An illustration of the “monkey chrysalis” produced a sensation. This is the larva of a butterfly found in South Africa, which so closely resembles an ape that in the illustration it would be hard to distinguish. ——— Wesley Hall’s Murder. The police of the eighth precinct are still carefully looking up any and every clue that miay lead to the unraveling of the mystery of the murder of old Wesley Hall. It will be a week tomorrow since the old cobbler was killed, but so far nothipg has been turned up that would cast the small- est ray of light upcn the mystery. The po- lice point to the case of the old man who was killed on Capitol Hill, three or four years ago, when the murderers were not apprehended for several weeks after the crime was committed. They have by no means given up hope, but confi- dence that sooner or later the person or persons who“killed the old colored man_on Oth street last Tuesday night will be brought to justice. ——— Z Assigned to the Navy Department.

O'GORMAN'S ELEVATION Ceremonies Attending His Consecration as Bishop of Sioux Falls Cardinal Satolli Will Be Assisted by Distinguished Prelates of " the Catholic Church. The consecration of the Right Rev. Dr. O'Gorman as bishop of Sioux Falls, which will be solemnized by Cardinal Satolli Sun- day next at St. Patrick’s Church, is ex- pected to be the last pitlic ceremony at which that eminent divire will officiate be- fore leavirg the United States. The ceremonies will be more than usually impressive and solemn, and the effect will be greatly increased by the beautiful ap- po:ntments of the edifice in which the cere- mony will take place. Cardinal Satolli will be assisted at the consecration of Bishop O'Gorman by Right Rev. Martin Marty, former bishop of Sioux Falls, and Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic University, of the faculty of which the b‘shop-elect has been one of the most distinguished and honored members. The sermcn will be delivered by Arch- bishop Ireland. Description of the Ceremony. ‘The services will c:-mmence with Cardinal Satolli sitting in front of the main altar, when the bishop-elect, wearing his small cap, will be led before him by the assistant bishops. The senior assistant bishop will, after a short pause, say: “Most reverend father, our Holy Mother, the Catholic Church, requires of you to raise this priest ere present to the burdensome office of ‘bishop.” The apostolic commission will then be asked for and read. After the administra- tion of the oath the examination will be pro-ceded with. At its close the assistants will lead the bishop-elect, before Cardinal Satclli, when the former will kneel and kiss the hand of the latter. Mass will then be commenced and con- tinue until after the epistle, when the bishop-elect will again be taken before the cardinal and will prostrate himseif on the floor. The litanies will be chanted and Cardinal Satolli will place the book of the Gospel open on the shoulder of the bishop- elect. Next the consecrator and the assistants will lay their hands upon the head of the jop-elect, each touching his head with beth hands, ‘Receive thou the Holy Ghost.” The head of the elect will then be bound with linens and anoiated with chrism, while the “Veni Creator” will be sung. Af- ter the usual praye-ss the hands of the bishop-celect will be anointed and the cro- sier and ring will be blessed and given him. ‘The kiss of peace will be given and Mass continued, After the offertory che new bishop will present to the cardinal two lighted tapers, iwo loaves and two small barrels of wine. After communion the kiss of peace will again be given. The New Bishop’s First Blessing. Later, the cardinal will be seated and the new bishop, wearing a small cap, will kneel before him, while the fcrmer, rising, will bless the miter and place it on the head of the bishop-elect. The gloves will then be blessed, and the new bishop will be es- corted by the acsistants down the main aisle and back to the chsir previously oc- cupied by the cardinal. The “Te Deum” will be sung, while the bishop will pass through the aisle blessing the congrega- ticn. Once more the cardinal will give him the kiss of peace, when he will retire to his own chapel and read the last gospel, which the cardinal will read at the main aliar. The Musical Program. As the procession of clergy enter the church from Carroll Institute, where they will assemble previously, the orchestra, as- sisted by Miss M. Louise Boone, organist, and with Professor Mariano Maina as di- rector, will render Mendelesohn’s “Grand Processional March.” The “Kyrie” and “Gloria” of Gounod’s “Solennelle” will be sung by a chorus of priests. After the ser- mon the “Credo” from Gounod’s “‘Solen- nelle,” will be given, to be followed by “Ecce Sacerdo Magnus,” which wiil be sung as a baritone solo by Professor Maina. Other parts of the program will be the “Sanctus” by Gounod, the “Agnus Dei,” the ‘Benedictus,” by Gounod, and the “Grand Te Deum” by Rufus G. Garland, and the concluding number will be a 80! emn march by Wagner, which will be per- formed by the orchestra and on the organ. A complete orchestra of twenty perform: ers, including Miss Anita Cluss, harpist, will support the choir on the occasion, ali being under the direction of Professor Maina. Z The solo parts of the program will be sung by Miss Blanche Mattingly, soprano; Mrs. Paulina Maina, alto; Mr. William D. McFarland, tenor, ‘and Mr. Bernard A. Ryan, basso. The chorus will consist of Miss Jennie Mudd, Miss Bessie Hickey, Mrs. Paul F. Cain, Miss Carrie Wood, Miss Adelaide Borbeck, Miss Rosa Cayce, Miss K. C. Cuilen, Mrs. P.

One of the features of the lecture tomor- row afternoon at Metzeroit Music Hall by W. Hudson Shaw, on “Florence, From Dante to Michael Angeloy’ of the university extension course, will be the exhibition of three tapestries of the “Diana Series,” which will be used to decorate the back-_ ground and sides of the stage. These tepestries, which wére secured by Dr. Wesley Reid Davis through the courtesy of their owner, Mr. Charles M. Ffoulke, were Presented by the most Christian King Louis XIII of France to Cardinal Bar- terini, legate to France in 1625. Dr. Davis has arranged to have the exhibition of the finest. examples of Mr. Ffoulke’s collec- tion changed with each lecture, thus giv- ing a rare chance to art lovers in Washing- ton to see a few of the most celebrated fabrics of the world. The lecture tomor- row afternoon, which takes place at 4:15, is “Dante” and the condition of Florence during his time. The distinguished char- acter of the lecturer, the pre-eminent em- phasis given by the patronesses and the feature of tapestry charm will surely sum- mon a large and representative audience. As a number of the members of the or- ganization in this city are interested in the continuance of religious services in the Latin and American quarters in Paris, it has been arranged that all proceeds over and above expenses will be devoted to that object. The lectures will be illustrated with instructive and handsome lantern slides, the remainder of the series taking place each succeeding Tuesday afternoon at the same time and place. — Death of Capt. E. R. McKean. Capt. Edwin R. McKean died yesterday at Eustis, Fla. He was well known in this city and for some time made his home in Hyattsville, Md. He died from the effects of the wounds rectived during his army service in the late war. The funeral will take place tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., at the residence of J. W.

What the Eckington-Belt Manage- ments Wants to Secure. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: If Senate bill 2801, introduced on Friday last by Senator McMillan, to amend the charters of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home and Belt Line railway companies, em- bodies the legislation which the Senate Dis- trict committee has determined to recom- mend concerning the companies named, it is far from being satisfactory to the patrons of these lines, and is not what they have looked for and been given to expect at the hands of the Senate committee. In the face of the numerous remon- strances that have been poured in upon the District committees of both houses during the past several weeks, against giving these companies any additional privileges until they properly operate what they already have, this bill proposes to give them a num- ber of extensions, and leaves it entirely to their pleasure to modernize their existing lr es within the city limits whenever they get good and ready. Among theextensions which it is proposed to grant the Eckington company is the one from North Capitol street to 4th street on Michigan avenue, against which the Commissioners have re- peatedly and earnestly protested, stating that they do not deem it necessary nor de- sirable that such extension should be grant- ed; that there is not a house nor a gate to the Soldiers’ Home on Michigan avenue from North Capitol street to Bunker Hill read; that the existing 4th street line of this cempary reaches the gate of the home near Bunker Hill road; that the chartered North Capitol street line of the same company will reach the Ist street gate near the end of that route, and that this avenue is a drive- way aan ot 2 traffic street. e provides that the d ex- tensions shall be commenced sso Comysotell on such cf the streets and avenues named therein as are now opened within two years frcm the date of approval of the act, and on the remaining streets and avenues not now opened within onegyear after they are opened, but it contains no penalty for fail- ure to comply with this or any other pro- vision of the bill, not even the usual for- feiture clause for non-compliance with its requirements. The only penalty clause in the whole bill is one providing for forfeiture proceedings if the companies neglect or re- fuse to make an annual report of their re- ceipts and expenditures, together with the names of their shareholders and the num- ber of shares held by each. Although the act of July 5, 1892, author- izing the construction of the North p- itel street line of the Eckington company south of New York avenue, speciti required that the work on this exte should be commenced and comple cars run thereon wiihin a stated time, car has never been run over these trac yet, in the face of this experience, and the evident necessity for such a p: ion, this bill contains no requirement that cars shall be run vfpon the proposed extensions after the tracks are laid. If the mB ton compaiy will flagrantly disregard an express provision of law requring them to run cars on their North Capitol street line within a stated time after the pas age of the act. as a condition to the granting of the privilege, what may they be ex- pected to do if the act granting these ad4i- tional extensions contains no such re- quirement? With respect to modernizing the service on these lines within the city limits the bill is not mandatory. It simply ‘“em- powers” these companies to use any motive Power that the Commissioners may ap- Prove, except horses ard overhead wires on their existing lines within the city limits, but it does not “require” them to do so. Neither does it specify any time within which horses shall be dispensed with on these lines, nor fix a penalty for failure to change their motive power. Introduced by the chairman of the Sen- ate District committee, as his promised solution of this whole vexatious railroad question, the bill is a disappointment, and the most loosely constructed of any of the several bills bearing on this question now before the committee, and should not be reported in its present shape. No such latitude as is proposed by this bill should be given any street railway corperation, much less a company whose record in this city is one of broken promises and dis- regard of law. T. P. KANE. ——.__ FIVE. HUNDRED FROM KENTUCKY. Louisville Wants the C. tion In 1898. Dr. William P. Banta, state excursion manager of the Kentucky delegation to the Christian Endeavor corvention in July, has been in the city for several days make ing arrangements for. hotel accommoda- tions for a part of Kentucky’s delegation. Dr. Banta is confident that 500 from the blue grass state will come to Washington to attend the convention, and he has se- cured the St. James Hotel as the head- quarters of the delegation. The Kentuck- fans have been assigned for church head- quarters to the Ryland M. E. Church, in South Washington, not inconvenient to their hotel. Louisville is in the field making an ac- tive campaign for the convention of 18i8, and Dr. Banta is the chairman of the pre- liminary committee which is urging the claims of the southern city. He has ex- amined carefully into the plans adopted by the preliminary committee from this city when Washington's invitation for the fif- teenth international convention was ex- tended, and has had several conferences with the members of the committee of "#6, from whom he has received many valuable suggestions. Dr. Banta expresses hiinself as highly gratified at the arrangements made for July’s big meeting here, as well as charmed with the city itself. A visitor whose early coming is eagerly looked forward to at Christian Endeavor headquarters is Secretary Baer of the United Society of Boston. It is expected that he will come on to confer with the committee of '96 some day this week. a COMPRESSED AIR CARS. E. Convene They Are to Be Tried on the Ecking- ton Line. The management of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railway has determined to introduce rapid transit on a portion of the system in the shape ‘of compressed air mo- tors, and an order for ten cars of this de- scription has been placed with H. K. But- ler & Company of Pittsburg. Work upon the contract has been commenced and the cars are expected here in the latter part of the summer. The cars will be run from the Power house at Eckington to 15th and @ streets and to the Center Market, alternate cars going to each terminus. It is under- stood that the new departure of the Eck- ington people is in the nature of an experi- ment, although it is claimed that com- pressed-air cars have been operated for a number of years with success, notably in Berne, Switzerland, where they surmount steep grades with ease. If the. new care prove the success which is anticipated it is sald to be the intention of President Newbold and his associates to equip the entire system owned by them and com- prising the Belt line in addition to the Eck» ington with the same system. —_——__ ‘Is It 80, d if So, Why? To the Editor of The. Evening Star: Accordirg to Saturday’s Star, Mr. Aiken, Supervising Architect, prefers the roof they are now putting on the new post office building to any other, because, as he says, it is “not so cold in winter nor so warm in summer” as the others that have been sug- gested. Is this really s0? Has Mr. Aiken any data, based on either experiments or experience, that shows the advantage of the existing roof over other ‘kinds in this re- spect, or is it only a dictum.of his own? In other wovds, what ground is his statement based on? And, if the cther styles of roofs are actually warmer in summer, as he al-, leges, will he please.explain how or why they can also be colder in winter? Fur- thermore, does any style of roof affect the temperature of any part of a buiiding lower than the attic floor or space immediately under the rocf? If so, how can it? These questions are not asked in a cap- tious spirit, but for the purpose of obtain- ing light on the subject; and if the facts are as stated by Mr. Aiken the public is in- terested in qe eee likewise the unds upon which they rest. .
