A. Fora, General. Fniaengor Agent, St. Loula, Mo. Are Nearly Hnndroci of Tliom Alone Jelllco Crotk In the Kiwcorn i'lirt of o( tlio 1'iimliy Kentucky's "Angel SetUenior.t" is in the mountains county, 17 milcsi J'rom and the colony composed of an interesting: und singular people.

There are, to be sure, "Anguls" in large numbers in Clay, lliu-inn and other eastern Kentucky counties, the nia-in family, and the seM'lcment which lias beCu famous many years, is the IVhitJey county baiwl. All Angels who do not trace to tihut origiu are spurious. The "Angel settlement," says the New York Tribune, derives its'title from tho family name of its inhabitants, and, singularly enough, the best-known and most influential man in the colony is "Aroh" Angel, or "Old Arch," as he is commonly known. How many Angels are there in the settlement'? Nobody knows. They are scattered -up and down Jellico creek and over the mountains, and a -census has never been tffken.

There are Louis, and Tom, and Arch, and "Old Bill," and Jim, and Nym, and. "Jim's Nym," "Nym's-'Bill," and "Bill's Nym," and 'so on. It. is to be understood from Bill and Jim Angel have sons named Nym, and that their fathers' baptismal names have to be used in connection with theirs in order to prevent confusion. It also be added that Bill's Nym and Jim's Nym ha.ve families, for they are a.

marrying people and prolific. And then there are the "Wright- sea" and "Eainses" who have married female Angels and multiplied and re- pJenished the earth and are numbered with those who go to make up the far- famed Angel settlement. As before said, "Old Arch" is the most interesting Angel in. the band. All of the re-stof the Angels, and some who are not Ange-ls, fear him.

He is seated upon 500 acres of valuable coal and timber land, and a part of his tijJe to the property is a gun. His cabin is a -study. It is thoroughly characteristic. It looks as if it might have beon a century ago, nnd it no Soubt was. There is one room to the mansion, with a shed in the rear.

In this room sleep "Old Arch" and "Little Arch," "Old Arch's 'oman" and "Old Arch's gal." 1'liere are four Keep Cool by Using; THE KELLEY Shower Bath RING Hot Water Proof Hose $2 Express id, 26c.

"Old Arch" once shot brother, "Old Tom." Old Tom's boys aairl Arch's youngsters g-ot into a fight-, and Arch's were getting- the best of it, when Old Tom took.a hand in the engagement and chased his nephews homeward. Arch saw them coming, took in the situation at a. gla-ncc, renched for his gun, and fired. Tom fell with a bullet in h.is breast. Since then there has bcme something of a coolness between the houses of Thomas and Archibald.

The magnitude avid importance of tihe Angel settlement is indicated by the fact that Uncle Sam has established a post office there, nnd considerable mail matter is received at Angel, Whitley county, Ivy. is the postmaster. His residence, which is abo the post office, is on what he caJla "Cap-a-shin crick-." Arch and Tom, nnd other influential Angels, live across the mountain on Itock creek and along the bonks of the picturesque Jell ico and its tributaries to number of "nigh onto 500," as near as Old Tom can calculate. These Kentucky Angels trace their origin from James Angel, who into the mountains of Kentucky from one of the Carolinos many years ago. He was an eccentric man, possessed of great wealth and owned slaves.

Ee up several thousand acres of land, married, and rea.red a family of ten boys. These boys, in turn, roamed and had large -families, and so the mulfi- plication went on, at the rate of ten tiroes ton, until the hillsides and valleys almost swarm with Angels. There are family peculiarities which have been intensified by intermarrying 1 Old Arch, for instance, married h.is fn-st cousin, and his sons 1 this up by espousing his first cforusin. Thus it is'that in Old Arch's household the characteristic fiery red hair and blue eyes- of the Angels arc found in nil their beauty nnd.purity. In the Aligel nnd chureihCK are scarce, and when such structures are cncoinit-e-red they a-rft curiosities.

Pouch Made of the Skin of a Famous Pirate's Heart How Grandfather Forrli, 01U Xsnkeo, Utilized Peculiar Frenetic Story of Glbbn, a Buccaneer. If anyone had dared prophesy to Gibbs the Pirate, whose name struck terror to every seafarer's soul 70 yoars after his death tht suck in which beat brutal heart would be tanned and into a tobacco pooch, Gibbs would probably first have laughed at him for a madman, and then, with ready knife or pistol, would have silenced him forever, as he hnd many another. Yet, strange as it may seem, the pericardium of this last and bloodiest of modern pirates hangs to-doy in the old Ferris house, not for -from Mianus, where a New York Journal reporter, found it and heard its curious history. When Gibbs was hanged, April 22, 1831, on Bedloe's Island, a boat loftO of people went, down from Stamford to pee the execution. Illness prevented Grandfather Ferris frow uniting- one of the parti- and he was 1 bitterly disappointed.

As his friends, departed, he is said to have en-lied after them: "Bring rne back the -hell hound's heart, HO long as I can't g-o myself to see the devil get him. Don't forget, niow; it's heart 1 want!" "All came the answer- mg voices; "we'irtry to get it for There was a.physician in party, ami, after the life was strangled out of the pirate's huge frame, and be was given over to the doctors for dissection, Mr. Ferris' medical frienr! appro- printed the heart of the dead sea robber. Its unusual siize made him decide to keep it himself, und then- it occurred to him that its sack in which it better servo Grandfather Ferris a.9 a memento, rmd he gave it to him. Mr.

Copt. Kidd and Morgan the Buccaneer are more familiar names- than the" other members of the crew that there was $50,000 on board. Gibbs joined in the plot to steal it.

The captain and mate were murdered and cast into the sea, and when oft the Long Island coast the money'was brought up on deck and divided. Four of the robbers were drowned trying to reach shore with the plunder, Cibbsand his companions reached Pelican island, they buried most of the money they had secured. There it is said to remain to this day. For this crime Gibbs and the' negro were arrested, tried and hanged. ANOTHER NEW SENATOR.

Jndce McEnerr, of LonlilMu, Will III. Seat Next Ex-Gov, Samuel Douglas McEnery, elected senator from Louisiana, is the best known man in that state, and by long- odds the most prominent in political life." Mr. McEnery is just 50 years of age. The family is of Irish extraction. Senator ifcEnery was bom at Monroe; educated at the Annapolis naval academy, at the University of Virginia, Spring Hill college' (Ala.) and the New York State- law sehool at Pough- kecpsie, N.

Y. He served as a lieutenant in the confederate armv during the civil-war. The election of his brother, John McEnery, as governor in 187S threw him into politics. Nominated as lieutenant governor in 1879, he -succeeded to the 'governorship in, 16S1 by the death of Gov. Wiltx, In 1SS4 he waa elected to succeed himself by a large THE UNCANNY RELJC.

Kidd and Morgan have Hud their biog- by the dozen, but, strangely enough, little ia knowri nowadays of Gibbs' frightful career, If ever a man was a degenerate, Gibbs was. His right name was James and his parentage is said to-have been neither particularly bad nor good. At 12 he robbed his'father oi all his cash and fled-to New Orleans. ar Test, ho shipped, on vessenaun'd to Hearing sailor yarns of the soft delights of thje islands the so.utbmi sells, he decided to turn pirate. Ho shipped on Island of Margaret-la, and enlisted in the Colombian mivy, joining, the a trim built schooner with, a privateer's commission in that service.

He was'made second mate. For two months they cruised the Gulf -of Mexico and the Cuban coast, and captured several rich prizes. Butthe crew's share of the tak ings wore left unpaid, an led by Gibbs, they mutinied and marooned their former'officers near Pensacola. They ecuised under the pennantof a privateer; but, having the black flag was presently hoisted, and Gibbs' bloody career earzfest: His last voyage was in 1S30, from.

CMtlns ofltiltlnd Ever Inroad Out In America. The largest cast steel propeller ever made is one recently made at Chester, for the new iron steamship John Eng-lis. This giant among the propellers has lour of the mightiest blades that ever churned old ocean into foam and sent a ship speeding through-' the waves From tip to tip of blade this propeller measures 10 feet, hub fits on'the shaft is.2G inches in diameter The thickness of the- metal at the hub is six inches. The casting weighed 15, COO pounds. A remarkable fact in.

connection witl this propeller is that' it is just- abou twice the the propeller of Jar-rest of nil ships, Great Eastern which has not only a screw, wheels as well, to aid in, forcing 1 her in lier unwieldy the ocean. Some idea of the strength and pow er of this huge screw may be gathered LARGEST PROPELLER EVER CAST from the fact that the tensile strength, of the steel is 71,000 pounds, with elongation of 27 per cent, nnd a rcduc tlon of 33. per. cent. When castinf was taken from the mold there was no single check or flaw to be found in it, arid the edges tapered as smooth na even as gray iron.

The wheel was molded from the pal tern of one blade and a quarter sectioi of the hub, and ten days and nights constant care and watchfulness required to complete the molding. Th propeJIer Is made of whflt is known open, hearth steel, and is, for t.hat rca son. and aside from it-s size, a novelty. "When placed in position on the steam ship -Tobn Englis, and driven at th full speed of 4.000 horsopowe triple expansion engines, this propelle will make 90 revolutions n. minute With, this propeller it.
