OF the Contest for the
House SpeakerShip.
TO SUPPORT HENDERSON
A Conference of the Republican Con-
greSSmen From Illinois Decide to
Throw the Vote Of That State to
the Iowa Man.

Chicago, June mime of the IA con-
gressmen in the Ininoi delegation were
present at the general roundup meet
ing held in the Grand Pacific hotel this
afternoon. After four hours discussion
behind closed doors it was decided to
withdraw Mr.. Hopkins lame and sup
port Colonel Henderson. The conference
was perfectly harmonious. Mr.. Hopkins
made the following statement:
II nave had a full conference with the
Illinois republican delegation in congress
today, and the situation of the speaker
ship contest was fully discussed, includ-
ing the action of our ~neighboring states,
in declaring for Colonel Henderson of
Iowa. My colleagues and I recognize the
great responsibilities devolving upon the
Fifty-sixth congress, and the necessity
for perfect harmony in the republican
party. To further prolong my candi-
dacy, whether successful or Unsuccessful
it is thought might result in embarrass-
ment to the successful candidate in the
proper administration of his great office.
Believing, as I do. that my retirement
from the speakership race at this time
will simplify the situation and conduce
to harmony in the party, with conse-
quent best results to the whole country,
! have, with the approval of the entire
delegation, decided to withdraw from the
speakership contest. After my with
drawal and further conference by the
delegation, it was decided to supper
Colonel Henderson's candidacy for the
speakership, in which action 1 fully con-

PROFIT IN EGGS.

a sparrow's egg seems of little or no
value, and yet there is a man in Paris who
can transform it into a prize really worth
having. Indeed, this ingenious gentleman
makes a very handsome income through his
Skill in colCring birds eggs.
"A lew years ago this wide & waxe Partisan
was an assistant in u provincial museum of
natural history, and while there he learned
and saw Il great deal which has since been
of much use to him.
So much, indeed, did he learn that when
he lost his position he went to Paris and
determined to start in business for him
self. His apprenticeship at the museum had
shown him the value of BIRDS eggs, and
he decided to make Il living by dealing in
rare eggs.
AS a rule he used the shell of some COM
mon egg. his sole care being TO see that it
corresponded in size with the desired egg.
The eggs of the common iy catcher are
very cheap, and by coloring them properly
they can be made to resemDi much c~ostlicr
g Again, Il ducks egg costs very !'t,le,
and vet our ingenious French gentleman
could easily transform it into an egg worth
from SO to SIS.
Pigeons eggs are also very useful for a
similar purpose, since they are of exactly
the same size as many very rare eggs. ANY
one with a knowledge of chemistry could
change them so that the pigeons themselves
would not recognize them.
Almost every collector of birds eggs de-
Sires to have one or two finely marked
~nightingale's eggs, and is willing to pay a
high price for them. The Partisan dealer
was well aware of this little weakness, and,
larks being more abundant than nightin-
gales, he found no difficulty in getting
larks' eggs and coloring them so that they
were exactly like the genuine article.
But they have sent this clever gentleman
to Jail.

Woman Makes Her Escape
From the Island.
CHANGED HER CLOTHES
For Those of Another and Boldly
Walked Out--It Was Some Time
Before the Guards Learned of Her
Escape.

New York, June SIT has been re-
served for a woman to disprove the
boast of the officials in charge of the in
situations on Blackwelrs Island that it
was impossible for a prisoner to escape.
The heroine of this exploit is a young
womaned named Annie Ryan. She is
now at large, and apparently in no par
ticular peril of recapture.
She recently had served a sentence of
six months in the w~orkhouse, and was
rearrested and sent back to serve an
other term of three months. A similar
misfortune had befallen her a times
before. She was a 'trusty." Her post
was in the hospital, and a part of her
duties consisted in taking charge of the
clothing Of newly arrived patients. Yes
terday afternoon she attired herself in
the garb of a female prisoner just in,
and repaired to the Metropolitan hos
pital, a quarter of a mile from the work.
house.
She told a straightforward story to the
officer that she vas a patient from the
city and was looking for the entrance
for patients. DR.. Carmichael was sent
for, and, as the woman apparently was
Ill, he decided to admit her, although she
had no pass from the Department of
Charities. To this, however, the woman
demurred. saying that she had made no
arrangements to remain and would go to
her home in New York and return on
Monday. She gave her right name, but,
as the news of the escape had not reach
ed the hospital, this aroused no sus-
picions. With the understanding that she
woulr return on Monday a pass was
given to her and she left the island on
the launch that crosses the river.

"OVER THE RANGE"

There is an expression signifying death
used commonly all over the west. Its
origin is beyond the recollection of all
but a very few now living, and the story
they tell is indeed a sad one. According
to these old-timers in the mountains the
expression originated soon after Bakers
expedition into the southwestern part of
Colorado, nearly forty years ago. At
that time gold excitement was rife in
Colorado. The UNEMPLOYED condition of
the Rocky mountains only added to the
miners dreams, and every report of new
strikes became exaggerated manifold.
The finding Of a single nugget Of yellow
metal in some distant gulch frequently
caused a general stampede of pros
pectors.
During these fevered and visionary
times it became whispered throughout
the mining camps on the eastern slope Of
the mountains that cover the range
were stored away fabulous fortunes of
virgin gold. No n knew the exact spot
where these strong boxes of nature were
stored, but the keys by which they were
to be unlocked each miner confidently
believed to be in his own possession. The
whisperings multiplied and every word
from the new Ell Dorado famed the minds
of the eager fortune hunters.
An exodus began. Whole caravans
were soon travelling through the noun
tain passes toward the west. In their
eagerness men raveled night inc day,
each pursuing his own reckoning will-o'-
the-wisp that his dreams told him would
lead to the treasured ore. The paths be-
came widely separated. Few were pre-
pared to weather the mountain hardships
of the new country, but still they jour-
neyed on. Hunger at last overlook
many, and these faced about in the hope
of again reaching the camps on the east
ern slope. The way was long and hard,
for many had lost their bearings. These
became an cas- prey to hunger and the
relentless Utes. The suffering which en-
sued is one of the distressing pages in
the history of the Rocky mountains.
Thousands of prospectors had passed
lover the range never to return. A
few, emaciated, came back, but the ma
jority Of the eager searchers for gold had
disappeared forever.

strapped about his person and secreted
in his clothes.
There was no one but him and the
driver in charge Of the coach, n for
days they proceeded along their Lone
some journey without seeing a human
face. When yet man. miles from Santa
Fe they were overtaken by a bowling
band of Indians, and a fierce battle was
fought. Bridgens and his companion
exhausted their ammunition. and cOntin-
ued the fight with their knives. Finally.
they succeeded in unloosing their horses
from the stage, and, quickly mounting
them, fled through the timber. The saw
ages gave chase and succeeded in sepa-
rating the two men, but did not capture
either of them. Mr.. Bridgens still re-
tanned his treasure, but he lost his way
among the crags and canyons, and it was
more han two weeks before he found his
way to to the house of a white man.
During all this time he subsisted entirely
upon berries and herbs.
His long absence caused his employers
to believe that he had been robbed and
killed by the Indians, and before his re-
turn they had made good the money they
had given up as lost. When Mr.. Bridgens
returned with his precious burden still
intact they were amazed, and SO CRATE
full were they that they presented their
youthful agent with a handsome token
of their appreciation"
