COMMITTEE.
An Apron Worth $50, 900.

There has recently come to light
an apron-probably the most ex-
quisite example of needlework extant
that busted the fingers of the hap
less Mary, Queen of Scots, during
her long imprisonment, and served
TO divert her mind from her impend-
ing doom at the block. The fallen
sovereign--all hope gone--centered
her interest upon it during the lat
ter part of her long confinement,
and created the masterpiece Of
a4eedlework. Just before her execu-
tion she secreted her priced apron
under the lining of one of her robes
which kept her treasure g safe until
recently the garment was ripped
apart. It's history has since been
fully authenticated through letters
by the ill-starred Queen TO a friendly
ambassador at Paris who smuggled
the materials out of which it was
wrought into her du ngeon. By
strange chance the apron came into
the possession of an Am merican, who
has refused $50, 600 for it, and has
also declined $4,000 for the privilege
of unraveling asingle stitch to learn
It's secret, which is N ystery to all
the experts. It's owner has consent
ed, however, to its reproduction in
large size in the June Ladies Home
journal. - -

Exodus to Big Horn Basin.

The proposed colonization of q
section of the Big Horn Basin
country in Wyoming, concerning
which there has been SO much talk
an the last few months, has crystal
szed into a scheme Of considerable
magnitude, and there are now hun
dreds of people enroute to that sec
ton Of Wyoming. The colonlsts
principally come from Woodruff,
Randolph, Bear Lake valley, Coke
vile, Morgan City, Davis county,
and other places in and near Utah.
Every day Of the present week
wagon trains of these colonists have
passed through Diamondville and
kemmerer bound for the point of
concentration on HAMS Fork, in
the vicinity Of what is is known as
Wnght's bridge, and in a few days
there Will start from that point per-
haps the largest and most hopeful
train of emigrants taat has crossed
the rivers and mountains of Wyo-
ming formany years. Their destin-
alton is fully SEQ miles by wagon
road, on account of the tortuous
routes to reach fords and mountain
passes, but is only aboas $50 miles
as the crow would fly. The trip is
y rough one as it leads the traveller
through the wild mountains of Ere
mont county and the no less diff
ficult roads III the Big Horn county.
The colony will be formed in the
northeastern portion of the county
in what is known as the Dry creek
lands, lying between Grey Bull and

BALTIMORE, June 2s.-At a conference

here yesterday, at which former Senator
German and Governor John w. Smith were
present, the course OF the Maryland dele
CATION to the convention at Kansas City
was discussed and to some extent mapped
out. 1t was determined to make every
proper effort to prevent the passage of
l6-to-1 resolutions and TO incorporate into
the platform the plank the currency
question adopted by the late Democratic
state convention in Maryland. No effort
will be made to oppose the nomination Of
Bryan. Senator German will not attend
the convention and his place on the ma
tional committee will be filled during the
preliminary arrangements by Col L. Vic
tor Baughman. There is some talk among
the delegates Of placing In nomination the
name of Governor John Walter Smith for
the vice presidency, but this has as yet as
sumed no definite shape. The delegation
will leave here on Sunday afternoon by
way of Chicago over the Pennsylvania and
