that Princess Angellne lived and Sill
lives. Her hut is as unpretentious as
any In that section, and she lived there
In the worst days Of the wicksdness IN
disturbed and as safe as she Is to-day.
Her hut has two rooms and she shares
its hospitality with an adopted son,
half-breed. It is common saying that
when she'dies she will have the biggest
funeral that Seattle ever saw.
Last winter the Princess was seriously
IN. 1t was several days before the eitl-
zens found IL out. One OF the society
women missed her and made inquiries
about her. She had an attack OF pneu-
mOnia, and soon there was string OF
carriages driving up TO her door. one
OF her admirers brought an enormous
basket Of supplies and placed it near
the old woman. Returning fewinours
later, she found that the contents OF the
basket had disappeared entirely. In
Quiry revealed the fact that the princess
had eaten the entire contents, and then
the Wnrd was quickly passed around
that the Princess appetite was all
rightand that she would recover. Such
a meal would probably have killer AL
most any other person, but it seemed 70
be exactly what the Princess Ueeded,
for she soon appeared on the streets
again, hoDbliuz along with her staff and
mumbling 90 herself.
Whenever the Princess needs any
money there are about half dozen Of
the older residents to WHOM she always
goes. One OF these Is Col. Stone, the
president OF the electric light company
of the town. BE has known her for
manv years. Whenever she comes
feeling her way into his Office, the
clerks always know the nature Of her
errand and they always slip fifty cents
into her hand, anu OF she goes mum
bling. She dOesn't come for money
often, and hence is not burden.
Her needs ia the way OF food
and clothing are also so few that
the merchants seem to think
her patronage is desirable rather than
otherwise. Some Of 3them display her
picture ip oil, rather Crudely done, OF
course, To their shop windows, as II to
say "PurVeyoIs 10 her highness, Prin-
cess Angelina" In the hope OF securing
trade.
Itfsafact that most o, the residents
Of she place can tell no more about An
Rsline than that she is old Seattles
daughter. They know that in some way
that fact has been authenticated, but
who Chief Seattle was they do not know.
They have heard that be was the great
est Indian chief Of all that region and
that be died many years ago. That Is
about all they know and the rest they
take on trust.

OF Seattle, a fact, however, that the
citizens Of Seattle no longer admit,
adopted George Francis Train as a
mascot. They wanted to get some ad-
vertising out Of him and they sent him
around she world TO make the shortest
trip on record. He did beat the record,
and Tacoma made the most Of il. When
the Worlds Fair Seattle thought she
must make splurge. Accord
ingly she suggested that George
Francis Train and Princess An
geline should 60 20 the Worlds Fair
together aud represent the hustling
cities Of Puget sound. Tbs scheme
seemed a beautiful one from an adver-
Using standpoint, and all went we'll IN
til Princess Angeine was consulted.
She put an end TO 10 by rsmarking thai
IN Train wanted to make ? fool OF him
self be was welcome 20 do so, but they
must not count her in. All the persua-
sion her friends could bring to bear was
OF no avail, and Angelina remained at
home and the Worlds Fair went on
without her.
Although Angeline's face is positively
ugly, 10 Is one that the artists are some
times inclined to rave over as "a strong
one" iu its outlines. The Princess has,
therefore, come TO be admired because
Of her ugIiness. She is Sdid 10 be some
what used 70 il, for In her youth she is
said 70 have been very comely, and in
her old age she takes admiration as
matter Of course. Contrary TO most
Indians, she is not superstitiOns about
having her pictures taken and that &C
counts for the great plenty Of photo
graphs Of herself TO be had in Seattle.
1t is said that there are two unusual
things worth seeing 10 Seattle. One is
to see the society bellies out in their
boats in the early morning in the fish
ing season with barred arms pulling in
the salmon for the sport Of it. The
girls are rugged, hearty, full Of snap.
After 4 catch that has sOrely tried their
muscles, but has, yut color into their
cheeks, they will row ashore and soon
appear in smart street gowns, and then
they make up the second unusual
sight. Half az hour later they will be
driving or walking about the town, and
&c is a very ordinary thing TO see them
in conversation with Princess Angelina
or driving 70 her hut 10 leave some OF
their morning catch as a testimonial Of
their interest 10 the pet of the place.

NANCY ROSE.
TEE STURDY KEEPER AT STONY POINT
LIGHTHOUSE.
A Life Sa7sr-Fiys Women Havs Stations in New
York Watsrs-All Have Splendid
Records.

OF all women who gain livings in IN
common occupations few, If any, can
match the sturdy women employed oy
the Lighthouse Department OF the
United States. Their dauntless courage,
as we'll as their answering devotion 10
duty, have at last led the seemingly
tardy department to take steps TO In
crease the force Of women. This action
appears tardy because nearly one-haI
of the twenty women who look after
lighthouses have been in service upward
OF twenty years. Then. too, 1t is said
in their favor that their natural tender
ness tends to make them more alert
than men.
Scattered from the Gulf States to the
Great Lakes and along the coasts OF
Washington and California, their places
are so few that thew are hardly discern
ible among the raft OF man-Ruarded
lights which besprinkle the charts. Yet
in bravery and answering attention to
duty they are abreast OF the men. Not
one of these feminine tenders OF lights
but has had adventures that would
make most women quake. But these
intrepid creatures know no fear, many
of them having coupled the duties OF
life saving to their regular work.
Probably the most noted of this little
band of unfiiRching women is Ida Will
son, who has charge Of the Lime Rock
Light, Newport, r. l., but Ida is not
far ahead OF some others in the matter
OF life saving. Ida has rescued eleven
persons FROM the deep, and her bravery
has been the subject Of reports submit

proud to take money, Ida could not

FIVE WOMEN LIGHT NEW YORK WATERS.
Five Of the female keepers OF lights
are on duty in New York waters. Mrs.
Blake, who has been on duty at Robins
Reef Light, has during her sixteen
years service rescued five persons be-
longing to abandoned vessels. And
there isn't a sailorman that has sailed
the Hudson river in thirty years who
doesn't know Nancy Rose, keeper OF the
light on Stony Point This brave wo-
man has cared for Stony Point Light
for thirty-sii years, and it seems to
have agreed with her, for ruddier,
cheerier woman would be hard to find
In a weeks sail. Her lighthouse crowns
the small, rocky peninsula which was
fortified by the Americans early in the
Revolution. In 1853 her husband was
appointed keeper OF the light. He was
appointed by President Pierce. Mr..
Rose died in 1858, and then she got
the Job. The lighthouse stands on the
site of the old fort. That there has
never been a mishsp Of any other sort
