Eight Escape From Penitentiary.

TACOMA, July 4.-Eight desperate
~convicts escaped from the %penitentiary
on McNeill's island shortly before l
o'clock this morning. The men left
the island in two rowboat i which puts
the United States marshal at q great
disadvantage in a search for them.
Before starting away the cosvicts dis.
abled the governments launch by de.
stroying the dynamo. The alarm was
not given until 4 o'clock this morning.
The desperadoes occupied the third
or upper tier Of cells, and tunneled
their way through the brick walls and
a heavy roof. It is presumed they
had assistance in getting out of the
penitentiary. The two rowboats taken
belonged to the prison.
All of the escaped men were in
stripes. Telephone messages were
sent to all points on Puget sound.
In the vicinity OF Tacoms dozens Of
launches, which had been chartered
by fishing parties, were seized by the
federal authorities, who do not pro.
pose that the men shall get far from
the water. Ed. Stickney is one of the
most desperate of the escaped men and
is the leader.
There have been many escapes from
McNeill's island, but this ia the first
time that a party of convicts has sue
ceeded in getting away from the island,
which is surrounded by water which is
too cold for swimmers.

Advice About Egg.

A writer in the Delineator gives some
sensible advice about eggs. There is a
general impression that eggs acknowl-
edged to be a complete food, may be
safely eaten on all occasions. On the
contrary, as the writer alluded to
points out, invalids and young children
should never be given eggs unless they
are very fresh. Persons suffering from
biliousness, gastritis and several other
troubles find difficulty in digesting even
fresh eggs. Some physicians declare
that the slightest tendency toward
rheumatism makes eggs undesirable.
The white of eggs whipped to froth
with a little water Is good thing to
give fever patients, as a rule, but the
physician should be consulted before
even this is given to sick person.
