THE AGE OF FISHES.
Centenarian Fishes Not UnoommOn-A
Patriarch.


Patriarch.
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-In these days
when so much is said about civil service
reform, tenure of office and the length Of
time man may have official trust, there
has also arisen a question as to how long
fish usually lives, fills his official duties
and remains a useful member. The
question was asked an official Of the
United States Fish Commission:
Chow old do fish liye?'
lie replied, 81 don't know how long
they will grow, but do know that there
are plenty of cases on record where fish
have obtained an age from 100 to 200 years,
and they are still living. There are in
Baltimore several fish of the goldfish
family, kind Of carp, that are known to
be 60 years old. They have been
owned by one family all of that time
Prof. Bard has been investigating this
question to some extent, but he has not
yet concluded it. He has found that there
are legends connected with some fish kept
in the Royal Aquarium in Russia indi-
eating that they had lived nearly 500
years. In number of aquariums in Eu-
rope there are quantities OF fish that have
records of from 40 to 70 years.
In reply to similar inquiry
some tlme since PrOt. Baird. who is at the
head of the Smithsonian Institute and
United States Commission, and probably
the best living authority on fish, saws:
"There is, l believe, authentic evidence
10 show that carp have attained 100 years.
There is a tradition that within fifty
years pike was living in Russia whose
age dated back to the fifteenth century.
The fish is said to be IS feet long. This
is not, however, considered TO be reliable.
There is nothing, however, to prevent a
fish living almost indefinitely, as it has
no period of maturity, but grows with
each year of life. In each species, like
mammals and birds, where there is a
limit, definite term Of years is generally
the rulev

son, has been absent from all the earlier
openings. The opening presented Mr.
Mackayes work in the shape Of a very
liberal adoption of Sordau's Andrea, "
with the title of I'm Spite of all" in
role of the wife, formely acted by Miss
Agnes Ethel. When we come to speak
of the acting of this play, we have to deal
with the unique qualities which Miss
Madden, for the second time in New
York, presents to us, and which. unfor-
tunately for the stage, are very rare indeed
These qualities are an exquisite sensibility
and the power of presenting wOman!y pa
thOs in way which sciZcs the universal
heart. She manages by tine rarest of all
gifts to seize by some eneXplicable faculty
of her own, upon the sensibility of her
auditors and listeners, and TO do the most
marvclOusly subtle, tender bits of acting
which II has ever been our good fortune
to see. Thus, for example, she last night
conveyed in her own way the heart bro.
ken condition of the wife, the deep abid-
ing love of the woman and the tender.
ness, sweetness and exquisite delicacy of
the lover, without once Overstcpping the
limits of naturalness, or even using sin.
Gle theatrical device so that at the end of
the third act, finding that all her efforts
to reclaim the man she loves were fruit
less, and that he had deserted her in a
moment for another woman, she stood
alone in the middle of the stage, lifted
her eyes and clusped hands, and in one
great paroXysm Of despair that touched
everybody, simply acknowledged that she
had lost everything and fell swooning to
the floor. No amount of theatrical Cul-
ture or stage tradition or academic rule
could have enhanced this scene one iOta.
1t was the outcome of wOman's heart eX-
hibited without any waste of material,
which we deliberately take pains to assert
is not only the economy of ant, but the tri-
umph of genius, Similarly, all through
the elements which caught and held her
audience, where the tenderness, sincerity
and purity, never once yerging upon what

win her husband back by all the earlier

PIRATES IN TIE BAY.-A case of nj

PIRATES IN THE BAY.-A case of piracy
has been developed by the collision of the
large and handsome bugeye Irene, of Girls
field, Md, with United States revenue
cutter. After being towed to Norfolk sey.
eral colored men were discovered endeav.
oring to make sale of the vessel Three
Of the colored crew were arrested, and Two
succeeded in making their escape, and
search disclosed the regular papers Of the
boat missing, but books were found on
board. 1t seems the Irene is owned by
Captain NJ C. Todd, of Hollands Island
Md. 1t is said that Captain Todd went
ashore Sunday to his home on Hollands
Island, and while away the colored crew of
five cnnspired to take the vessel and bring
her to Norfolk, dispose of the cargo and
vessel and then make their escape with the
proceeds. On their way to the city the ves-
sci was dismasted in collision and towed
into port. The cargo was disposed OF, but
the attempt 10 sell the vessel was frustrated
The captured men were locked up and the
two who escaped are being looked for This
is a case of piracy under the United States
statutes, and the men will probably be tried
IN Maryland where the offence was com,
mitted.
