 STATE FISH HATCHER1ES.
What is Being Done at Windsor Locks
 Plant.

What is Being Done at Windsor Locks
 Plant.
 During a recent visit to the state l fish hatchery at Windsor Locks a Hartford Courant reporter gleaned the l following:
 | Gilbert Sterling showed and explain 1 ed the manner in which a first class | fish hatchery is conducted. He said that the most trouble experienced was when the fish became large enough to eat solid food. which con- sisted principally of liver chopped fine. Fungous disease frequently attacked the fish at this stage, sometimes only one being afflicted. If not discovered soon after the disease developed, the whole pool of fish would fall prey to the disease inside of twenty-foul hours as it is very contagious. At the present time there are fifty pools, av- eraging from twenty to thirty feet in length and eight to ten feet in breadth, into which a constant stream of pure spring water is running at all times,
 Shipments at one time were made of fry trout, but this experiment not prov ing a success the fish arc now raised to fingerlings, so called, averaging six inches in length. They are better able to take care of themselves at this size and the percentage that is lost is very small.
 MT. Sterling said he believed that there was no other place in the state that had as many natural advantages for the successful raising of young fish. This Hatchery is situated in . ra- vine between two hills which are thick ly wooded which form ample protec- tion against the chilling blasts of win ter, and which abound with springs of the purest water. The first shipment of the season was made last Saturday. Cans are used which have a capacity of ten gallons and not more than 250 fish are shipped in can at one time.
 There are at present ready for ship ment, brock trout 75.000. lake trout 40,- GOO, rainbow trout 5000, Lock Leeven trout 20O0 steel head trout l5,000 At lantic salmon 50,0OO, land-loclsed sal mon 15,00O

LETTER FROM KLONDIKE.
Will Ansley Writes of the Poor Luck OF
Birmingham Men in Gold Field.

A letter has just been received from VIII
Ansley, of this city, who for over a year
past has been in Klondyke, as one of the
representatives of the Bessie Cox Gold
Mining company. He says that all the rep
resentatives of his party, as well as those
of the Bddle party, are in excellent health
Ansey says that he has had poor luck
with his claims, having dug down to bed
rock in one of them without finding gold,
and in another one, some complication has
arisen and the government officials have
forbidden him from working It, Ansley
says that the other members of his party
intend coming home this fall and he him
self will come unless there is a decided
change In his luck.
At the time Ansley wrote, February q,
he said the thermometer registered As de-
grees below zero. The coolest weather that
has been recorded this year was 40 degrees.
He says that the restitution among the
gold seekers who have found no gold and
whose provisions have run out, is very
great, and that there are about a thousand
of them now in Dawson waiting to be re-
turned to the states by the government
Ansley in complaining of the irregularity
of the malls, said that he had just received
a copy of The Age-Herald dated July IA,
last telling of the death of Engineer Stur-
divant near Warrior Some times, however,
the mails are delivered very promptly.

SECOND KINDERGARTEN
Will be Opened in Mercy Home Build
ing on Next Monday.

The Birmingham kindergarten associa
ton, after short but most successful ex-
istence of three months, will on next Mon
day open up its second kindergarten in the
city of Birmingham. 1t will be in the
Mercy Home building in Eleventh avenue
and Twenty-first street, North.
The association will have charge of this
kindergarten and will operate it just as the
kindergarten in the Paul Hayne school
building has been run since the LIST of jan
uary. Miss Celia Smith, a graduate of the
Armour Institute in Chicago, who has here
tofore been assistant to Miss Woodruff in
tho Paul Hayne kindergarten, will have
charge of the new kindergarten in the
Mercy Home. She will be assisted by three
of the young ladies who are at present
taking courses in the training school.
The opening of this second free kinder
garten in Birmingham has been made posi-
BILE through the ladies of the Jewish Coun-
Gil. A month or so ago they discussed
plan for having free kindergarten for
the Northside, which they proposed to be
held in the parlors of the Temple. After
due consideration, however, they decided
that this plan was impracticable, but they
nevertheless determined that there should
NC q on Lne NOrtnSlue, and
they began to solicit subscriptions from the
public for this purpose. The only under
standing was that it was to be non-sec-
tarian and was to be located somewhere on
the Northside under the auspices of the
birmingham Kindergarten association.
The Jewish ladies deserve great credit for
the part they have taken in this work
There will be about ten children from the
Mercy Home in this kindergarten, and it
is expected to get about twenty-five more
children from the outside. The new Mercy
Home building is splendidly fitted out, and
is fine place for the new kindergarten.
Both the Northside and the Southside
kindergartens will be kept open this year
until June 16. which will be several weeks
after the public schools adjourn for the
summer holidays. The schools of the city
run only eight months, but the officers OF
the kindergarten association desire to keep
the kindergartens open for nine months of
the year.

~THE PLAY@

Advices from those who are in a position
that the patrons of OBrien's opera house
on Thursday night will have an opportunity
of enjoying one of the most delightful en-
tertainments that has ever been presented
at this house. This privilege is afforded by
the Black Patti Troubadors, which are to
play on that evening.
This organization holds commanding ana
unapproachabe position in theatrical cir
Giles. 1t is universally recognized as the
greatest colored show that has ever been
conceived or organized In this or any other
country
Its success has been the wonder of the
age and the most substantial evidence OF
its unparalleled popularity is shown in the
enormous profits which Messrs. Voelokel
and Nolan have divided during the past
season.
The Black Patti Troubadors created the
present coon songs and cake walk craze
that have invariable imtators, who make
feeble attempts to approach the excellent
standard of their entertainment. The COM
pany is said to be greater this year than
ever before.
In addition to Black Patti and Ernest Ho-
gan, who are respectively the greatest
singer and the funniest coon performer OF
their race-there is Geo. l. Holt phenome-
nal tenor, who makes his first appearance
here with the Black Patti company.
This singer is said to be gifted with a
marvellous vocal organ and sings with the
consummate grace of the true artist.
i ose who have heard Holt sing at private
hearings declare that his voice Is not I'M
like Campanais when that great tenor was
in his prime.

committee to decide on a peaceable ter
minaton of the trouble.
After nearly two hours of waiting Sheriff
O'Brien appeared with the mysterious box
and arrangements were Immediately made
to begin the count.
1t was proposed that a subcommittee
be appointed to count the ballots, and that
the managers and clerks act with them
Before the motion was carried John J.
Moore arose and stated that Mr.. Downey,
one of the managers, refused to have any
thing more to do with the box. Mr..
Downey then addressed the committee in
person and said that as there were ballots
in the box which had never been cast by
the voters he did not wish to assist in the
count.
The motion was finally adopted and L. j.
Haley was instructed to take charge of the
box. This he refused to do until it was
sealed.
The chair then appointed the sub-com-
mittee and after declaring the aldermen
and beat committeeman in the unquestiona-
Bile wards elected an adjournment was had
until today and the counting of the vote
by the subcommittee began.
The Count Begins
The ballots were all taken out of the box
and counted and it was found that the box
contained 1888 votes. This was then COM
pared with the polling list and it was seen
that only 704 had been cast. By some
means thirtyfour extra votes had gotten
in the box. Three of these were thrown
out on account of Irregularities and a
memorandum of the remaining thirty-one
kept to be presented to the committee for
investigation. A careful count of the vote
for all the candidates was then taken, the
work being finished at IL O'Clock last
night.
The following is a complete list of the
vote cast in this ward:
