Had No Difficulty With the Lock— Opening of Linthicum In- stitute—Other Notes, Another prisoner succeeded in escaping frcm a cell in the seventh precinct sta- tion yesterday afternoon, and has so far managed to keep away from the clutches ot the police. His name was given 4s Howard Moten. He was-an undersized young man, with smooth face, and he gave his age as nineteen. “He was arrested shortly after 10 o'clock. yesterday by De- tective Frank Burrows on a charge of grand larceny, having, {t f3 alleged, stolen the wheel of E. J. Contoy, a private in Battery I, stationed at the Washington barracks. The case against him was work- ed up by J. J. Fister, the bfeycle dealer on 32d street. The prisoner’ was searche and nothing found oA him, and he forthwith incarcerated in cell No. 4, the end of the tier facing the west in the sta- tion. The man was noticed in the cell at 1 o'clock, when the new section went on duty and the first section came to the station house. An bour.end a half later the cell door was found open and the in- mate gone. The esqape is supposed to have occurred about 2 ofclock, and so quict- ly was the e: be effected that no noise of any unusual character reached the ears of those In the office. The prisoner found the lock an easy thing to work. It is a large old-fashioned pad- lock, stronger looking than it really is. He managed to twist and turn the lock until the spring snapped, and the lock came open on its own accord, All that was left to do was to take the lock out, slide the cell bolt from the staple, open the door and walk out. The rear of the station was open, and the prisoner walked out in the station yard, and most likely jumped sev- eral fences and came out on P street, and en proceeded to make himself scarce. e cell in which he was incarcerated was the same one fn which a negro named Bird succeeded In digging his way out through the brick wall and escaping through the station yard, though his attempt was made at night, and was not n o hold as the escape of Moten. George Washington, an- other negro, succeeded in breaking the lock by almost the same means and escap- ing. nthicum Institute. Linthicum Institute began its cond session last evening, with every prospect of an excellent school year. Mr. R. C. Balinger was on hand to wel- come the return of the scholars, and he was kept busy all of the evening. There was no attempt to make a class organiza- tion. There was a large number of pupils present, and a majority were new schol- ars, whose time was occupied in filling out application blanks for the studies to be pursued this year. A regular routine Mon- day evening is devoted to free-hand draw- ing, spelling, English and shorthand. This evening Mr. E. B. Hay will be on hand to extend a welcome to the scholars, he hav- ing charge of the elccution, penmanship and booking departments. Tomorrow even- ing Mr. James H. Taylor will be on hand to attend to the students who desire to take the course in mathematic: The indications this year are that the school will be more largely attended than ever. Judging by the opening night, if the scholars keep up the attendance it will be a banner year for the school, which has done some excellent work during its exist- ence. Regular Meeting. The McKinley and Hobart Club held their regular weekly meeting last evening, which was well attended, and at which consid- erable enthusiasm was displayed. Mr. Wil- liam H. Brown presided, and Mr. Ralph W. Hewlett acted as secretary. Addresses were made by Capt. Charles W. Miller of Frederick county, Md.; Mr. John D. Fas- sett of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mr. James L. Turner. The speakers all reported en- couragingly as to the success of the repub- lican ticket in November. The club adopted a uniform suit, and elected Capt. William H. Neal commander.

From the Chicago Inter-Odean. _ Young bamboo shoofg are eaten by the Chinese and Japanese as we eat asparagus. Dr. Lamounier tried two or three species’ at a right age, and found them excellent. The stalks should be takgn very young dur- ing the first fortnight of‘spring growth, and should not be more than fifteen centimeters thick. The outer envelopes or spathes are taken off, and the soft substance is left, crisp and brittle, and yielding easily to the pressure of the finger. Dr. Lamounier seys they have the general taste and flavor of Brussels sprouts, and that they are whole- some, easily digestible and economical. But all depends on the time of cutting and the preparation. Some canned bamboo, exhib- ited in 1889 by the Japanese at Paris, was found hard and tasteiess, We have these d.fferences, too, in asparagus and all vege- tables, while we judge the quality of the same from their best, not from their worst, CONTINUING THE SESSION Baltimore Conference Affairs—Talks on Interesting Questions Given Yesterday. The annual session of the Woman's Par- scnage and Mission Society of the Balti- more conference, M. E.

The convention listened to the reports of the district secretarles of the work of their different departments. An invitation for all delegates and visitors to lunch, ten- dered by Mrs. Geo. A. Brunner, was ac- cepted. After devotional exercises, led by Mrs. J. T. Williams, and benediction by Rev. C. K. Millican, the convention ad- jeurned for noon. The afternoon session opened with de- votional exercises, conducted by Mrs. J. A. Alexander of Alexandria, prayer by Rev. Rumsey Smithson. Business was resumed, with Mrs. Beehler, presideat, presiding. Considerable discussion took place over the mode of reporting the work of the auxiliary societies by the officers. A lett-r was read from Mrs. R. K. Hargrove, gen- eral secretary, conveying the action cf the general society requesting each auxil- jJary to pay a pro rata share of the ex- pense of printing reports, leaflets, ete., and, on motion of Mrs. Williams, the convention agreed to comply with the request. Atten- tion was calied to the failure of ilstrict secretaries to report promptly and fully to the corresponding secretary, and meis- ures were adopted to remedy the com- plaint. It was voted to prepare blaak form of postal card reports, to be furnisned the sscretaries of auxillary societies. A re lution was adopted expressing ‘he pleas of the convention ‘n hearing from Rev.

Rev. Rumsey Smithson was then inircduced and made up address on missions. He said he found many opposed to fore'gn missions who say they are in favor of home mission work; but he doubted if such persons gave mucii to either. He also spoke of the necessity of proy better homes for the ministers in the western part of our country. At the close of the address the choir sanz “Work, for the Night is Coming.” Rev. D. L.

There is a man in this city who is so much opposed to the gold standard that he repudiates the golden rod as the state flow- er, defies the gold cure, positively declines to live up to the golden rule, and he is in a brown study whether he ought to enter the goiden gate and walk on the gold-paved streets. ——+o+—____.
