'THE ANGEL-FISH.
A Sub-Tropical Fish of Beautiful Color:
‘ and with Wing-Shaped Fine.
The angel fish is so called on account
of its beautiful colOrs and long, wing-
shaped fins. '
in shape the angel fish resembles the
well-known three-tailed porgy, called
also spadefish and triple-tail, of these
waters, though it is not quite so thick.
The angel fish has a small mouth.
Its tail is moderately long. The dorsal
and anal fins are both long, their ends
extending beyond the tail. The eye is
not very large, but beautifully colored.
The greater part of the fish’s body is
of a brownish color, with a shade of
olive green. Each .Seale is tipped with
a. lighter tint of its own color. The top
and bottom edges of the thin head, and
of the body in front of the dorsal and
anal fins,'the tips of the gill covers,
and the bases of the pectoral fins are
of a bright cobalt blue. The tail fin is
of a bright yellow, with a narrow edge
of greenish blue, and all the other fins
are tipped with yellow. ,
The angel fish is found in the waters
of Bermuda and of the West Indies,
and in the Gulf of Mexico. It attains
a weight of about four pounds, and
reaches fifteen inches in length. It
is a market fish in the countries in
whose waters it abounds, and it is so
plentiful that it is sold at a low price.
It is a delicious food fish.
It is everywhere admired for its
beauty. It has a habit of turning on
its side and swimming like a flounder,
' and it comes often to- the top, and it
may become very tame. In Bermuda
' the angel fish is a favorite to keep in
the private ponds which are numerous
on that island. It is there fed on bread.
In nature the angel fish feeds around
rocks that are covered with algae, nib»
bling at the plants, and eating small
barnacles and other small crustaceans
that are found in rocky places. The
scales of the angel fish are very rough,
and it has upon its gill covers and
along the dorsal fin very sharp spines,
so that care is necessary in handling
it, but it does not struggle much, and
with proper precaution it can :be easily
handled—New York Sun.

GOSSIP oF STAGE FOLKS.
The Exemplary Life of Herbert 'Kelcey
the Ideal Stage Lover. ,
Of the various actors who have been
admired by thousands of women as the
ideal stage lover, Herbert Kelcey, who
has one of the leading parts in “The
Coat of Many Colors,” has a foremost
place in that famous coterie of the
select and favored few.
HEnBERT KELCEY.
Mr. Kelcey’s career lias been a pro-
nounced success, and he has success-
fully climbed the ladder which is ever
free and waiting for talent. Born in
Kent, England, of quaker parents, he
scarcely knew what a theater was un-
till he had nearly reached his majority.
_ His boyhood was spent practically in
a boat. Rowing from morning to
night he strove to become the best
oarsman in his county. Finally, how-
ever, when 19 years old, his father,
who was one ofthe queen’s judges,
died. With the money left him he
went to London, plunged into specula-
tion and soon found himself penniless
and compelled to support himself. One
evening while visiting a family, one of
the sons of which was connected with
a theatrical company, he learned that
the London Gayety Company needed a
man to play the second part. It was
a case of necessity. His living had to
be earned, so Mr. ‘Kelcey applied for
the position, was accepted and soon
made his debut on the stage.
Off the stage Mr. Kelcey leads a life
supposed by the general public to be
far removed from the actor’s world.
He is quiet, does not smoke, is not a
' club man, does not drink—in fact, he
passes a very placid, prosaic existence.
Books are a hobby with Mr. Kelcey,
and so are dogs and cats. He revels
in books, and his substantial private
library contains many treasures.
How Sothern Filled the House. "3“-
The average actor is looked upon as
something of a “freak” in the small
towns, and the village merchants and
their clerks never fail to meet the
“show folk” when they arrive at the
station. Many of these people are con-
tent with seeing the actors and act-
resses there, and do not patronize the
theater. A few years, ago, while Mr.
Sothern and his company were travel-
ing in Illinois, they were'compelled to
play for three nights in small towns.
Mr. Sothern, of course, Was met at the
railway stations at two==of the towns
by the usual crowds. The manager of
the third town, however, proved to be
as clever as some of his brother man-
agers in the cities. He had advertised
Mr. Sothern and his company exten-
sively for a week before the actor’s ar-
rival, and when ‘the'hour‘drew near the
entire population was at the station
waiting to see the actor. When the
train’ pulled up only two menalighted,
and these began to haul baggage out
of one of the cars. Upon being ques-
tioned in regard to the absence of the
“troupe” the villagers learned that the
actors and actresses composing“ Mr.
Sothern’s company were transferred to
carriages two miles from the town. it
then dawned upon the townspeople
that the manager had played a trick on
them, and they hurried to the principal
hotel, only to find the last member of
Mr. Sothern’s organization getting out
of one of several carriages which were
drawn up before the hate} entrance.
The manager ofthe theater told a few
of his friends how he had hired every
carriage in town._and «made arrange-
ments with the passenger agent of the
railroad to stop the train within two
miles of the town. There it was met
by the carriages, and the company was
driven to the hotel. 4 The manager’s
scheme worked to perfection, for, al-
though the prices were advanced and
the theater was a large one, he had, for
the first time in his life, been compell-
ed to turn people away an hour before
the rise of the curtain.

Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 14.—Brig.-Gen
A. L. Pearson and Col. A. B. Hay are
two of the five men who organizedthe
Union Veteran Legion about a. dozer-
years ago. Col. Hay drew up the
resolutions, which were passed at a
meeting of the local encampment a
few weeks ago and which took no defi‘
nite action on the pension question

lion and yet who :presumes to call for
a halt in pension frauds, they would
hardly consider such men as Gen
Pearson as not being entitled to talk
on the question.
Gen. Pearson distinguished himseli
during the war. On one occasion, while
ranking as a brigadier-general, yet at
the head of his own regiment as colon-
el, he seized the colors and led, his men
_to a desperate charge.
awarded him a medal. .With char-
acteristic modesty, Gen. Pearson laid
no claim to the medal. and it was only
a few weeks ago that his name was
discovered on the rolls by the War De
partment, and the General got his
medal. I
Gen. Pearson and Col. Hay are law
partners. They both talked freely or;
pension frauds, pension laws, and pen-
sions that are granted by the whole
sale to short-term men. To show that
their right to criticise the pensionsys-
tem cannot be attacked justly and
that the resolutions already spoken 01
were not adopted by men who has
failed at the supreme moment in do-
ing their duty to their country, both
gentlemen explained what the Union
Veteran Legion is.
The following are eligible to mem-
bership: All .Union soldiers, sailors
and marines who volunteered prior to
July 1, 1863, for a term of three years,
and who were honorably discharged
for any cause after a service of at
least two years, or were at any time
discharged by reason of wounds re-
ceived in the line of duty; also those
who volunteered before July 22, 1861_
and served their full term of enlist-
ment, unless discharged for wounds
received in the line of duty.
It will be noticed here that to be
eligible to the Legion a soldier must
have served two years, unless dis-
charged on accoimt of wounds. Should
he have been discharged prior to the
expiration of two years for~slckness,
even though contracted in the line oi
duty, he is not eligible. Among those
who never can join the Legion are
drafted men and substitutes.
The Legion has a. membership of 20,-
000. While there are many _more who
are eligible, they are, of course, scat-
tered, so that usually only a. good-sized
town can provide eligibles numerous
enough to form an encampment.
cording to Co]. Hay, members of the
Grand Army of the Republic not eli-
gible are opposed to the Legion, and
try to‘ prevent, as far as possible, the
establishment of new encampments.
Most of the eligible men belong to the
Grand Army, and Col. Hay says that
it is hard for these to resist the rep-
resentations of their comrades who ask
them not to go back on the “old sol-
dier,” not, to join an organization
that makes “invidious” distinctions be-
tween Union soldiers, forgetting that
the “Grand Army itself, with perfect
propriety, is based on a distinction be-
tween men who enlisted for the Union
and those then living who did not, or
by reason of extreme youth or because
they were not yet born, could not
shoulder a gun. ‘
In discussing the percentage of, pen-
sions as between long~term and short-
term men, Col. Hay said that at the
last national encampment of the Le-
gion the National Commander read
statistics showing" that there were 177,-
000 men who had served three years.
yet drew no pensions, and of these
102,000 had never even applied for one
In the Pittsburg encampment less than
50 per cent. are _pensioned, and of the
majority many are entitled to pensions
under existing laws, but have refused
to apply for them, although frequently
importuned by pension agents.
Yale and the W. C. T. U.
New Haven, Conn, Feb. let—Yale
will take no action on the petition of
Miss Frances Willard and the National
Women’s Christian Temperance Union
regarding the sale of liquor here. This
statement was made on the highest au-
thority. A Yale professor, holding a
position on the faculty entitling him to
speak, said:
“The rules of the college cover all
cases of drinking. ‘W’e feel fully com-
petent to take care of the moral as
well as the physical and mental wel-
fare of any young man sent here to.
college. When we find that we are
not, we will resign in favor of some
of our rivals.”
The faculty will not not officially on
the petition; neither will President
DWight answer it. It was addressed
to him.
Great Britain Sides With Uncle Sam.
London, Feb. 14.—The de Lome inci-
dent has excited little interest in Eng-
land, but the opinions expressed almost
unanimously indorse the position of
the United States. . The daily newspa-
pers, with the exception of the Morn-
ing Post, have adopted the view that
the Administration took the right
course. The Sackville—West incident
naturally has been much quoted,-bu_t it '
must be added that it has always been
in the most friendly terms toward the
United States.
Honesty of a. Pensioner.

missioner Evans recently received from
a pensioner in San Antonio, Texas, an
express order for. $879, returned be—

ing a. pension wrongfully. Mr. Evans

tained that the man, was honestly en—
titled to $12 a month for deafness, and
