CLUB HOUSE FOR WOMEN.
Chicago Women to Have an Athletic
Club Just Like Men.

Chicago, Nov. 28-Chicago women
have in hand the organization Of a
women's athletic club. 1t is to offer
all the advantages Of a club with gym
nastic features, with the Chicago Ath-
letic club as a model.
The project was preached at a meet
ing of more than 800 society women
and enthusiasts in athletic matters,
which was held at the athletic club. 1t
was the regular monthly woman
day rendered by the club to the fami-
lies of members, and the discussion had
been announced by a circular outlining
the plans, which was mailed to more
than 500 persons.
While more than a score Of the wo-
men prominent as society's leaders are
taking a leading part in the OrganiZa-
ton of the new club, they prefer at
this time not to have their names dis
closed. 1t is said this reticence will
disappear as soon as the permanent
committees are chosen.
Mrs. Susie COcrOft, secretary of the
Extension society. is credited with first
proposing that a club be founded by
women after the pattern of the Chi
cagO Athletic club. once suggested
the idea spread among the women who
frequent the athletic club at its gen
eral receptions. It is said, indeed, that
most of those concerned in getting up
this WOman'S project are the wives and
daughters of the members of the Chi
cagO Athletic association
Mrs. Cocroft spoke Of the project re-

Story of the Only American
Ever In SaghaIien.
1t Is the Most Dreaded Of Rus
sian Prisons.
OLSEN AT LAST FREE.
Japanese Captain Packs Him In
a Cask Amongst Salmon.
Slows Away and Tramps to His
American Home.

San Francisco. Nov 2S.-John Ellis
Olsen, who says he was the only Amer
lean prisoner ever confined at that
most dreaded of Russian prisons, Sagh-
alien island, off the Siberian coast, and
who made his escape from that place
of confinement about a year ago, after
encountering many adventures and
vicissitudes, is once more back in his
home in this city. which he left in
1891
Olsen is a son OF August olsen who
in early days kept a hotel here. He
was born IN Detroit, Mich, about thirty
years ago, and when boy one year
old came to this city with his parents.
Being of a rowing disposition, he ship
ped out of this port on a sealing schoo-
ner in 1891, and made two or three trips
from Yokohama with the seal hunters.
He finally Joined an expedition to Cop
per island, but at NladlVOStOck got
drunk and upon recovering from the
effects Of his debauch found himself in
prison under suspicion of being a spy
or an anarchist.
He was detained in this prison and
during that time was unable to make
known his identity, he says for the
reason that none Of the officers Of the
prison could speak English. At the
end of five days he was placed on a
steamer and sent to Saghaien. There
he was put to work with the other
prisoners building a fort. The prison
ers worked in squads of ten, each squad
being IN charge OF a soldier guard, ana
from the size and appearance OF the
fort, it was intended simply as an OBJ
ject to keep the prisoners at work. He
was subsequently allowed the freedom
of the city on parole, but each of his
efforts to smuggle letters to his friends
was frustrated
He ultimately arranged with the
captain of a Japanese fishing junk to
transport him and was packed in a
cask among q cargo of salmon and
reached HakOdate in safety. Thence
he went to Yokohama as a stOwaway
in a steamer From Yokohama he says
he went to Port Said, and from there
to Gibraltar. He next made Liver
pool and from there shipped as a sailor
on a vessel bound for Newport. r. /.
The captain Ofthe vessel interested him
self in the young sailor and procured
him half rate railway ticket to St
Louis. From that city he tramped and
rode on brake beams to San Francisco,
arriving at that point two weeks ago,
