the people you meet tell you how
bad the st se really is. Stories of
joy rides and after-theater suppers
are told every day. But Miss Ed

things and she thinks that the
stage, like everything else in life,
has its good and bad side, and to
date she hasn't found the bad side
of the stage.
Miss Edmonds appeared in her

CAIRO, Egypt, March 29.-Con-
trary to expectations the nationalist
press did not attack Roosevelt for
yesterdays speech. The nationalist
comment following the Khartoum
speech was very bitter. Today there
was no trace of bitterness.
The absence of severe criticism is
attributed to the heart to heart talk
Roosevelt had Sunday with the ma

must have the courage of their con-
victions, and that they must be len
lent with those who differed in
their views.

church choir to prima donna with
an opera company is far cry, yet

Katherine Edmonds.

conduct herself on the stage as do
the countless other thousands
who earn their living before the
footlights. But the most startling
thing about it all is that Miss Ed
monds says there is little difference
between the stage and the church!

The Pendleton Sisters New Dances.

The Pendleton Sisters, who recuperate
each summer at their mothers home in
Camden, are now preparing to enter
vaudeville with new twenty minute
dancing sketch. During the act they
show ten handsome, costumes designed
particularly for this act by Miss Louise
Pendleton, one of the sisters. The act
comprises nine different styles of dane
ing and features each of the sisters in
speciality Among the dances is
very cute kid dance in which the sisters
wear knee length white lingerie baby
doll dresses trimmed with blue ribbon,
executing difficult steps with skip
rope. Last season the Pendleton Sisters
made an extensive tour of the west
ern and southern States with 1.-The
Girl from Rectors," introducing new
and novel dance which Immediately be-
came known as the Pendeton Sisters
whirlwind and acrobatic speciality. This
speciality is used as a climax to their
dancing sketch.
The sisters will be remembered in
Camden by their freedom from conven-
tionalities, their love for long walks,
mountain climbing and driving. Visitors
to the shore have marvelled at their pro-
ficiency in rowing, sailing and especially
their swimming. Hardly a day passes
during the long summer but what the
sisters can be seen swimming and sport
ing in the cold salt water Camden Her.

JAMES EDWARD KELLEY, ESQ.
A Native of Unity, Now a Successful Bos

National Press Reporter, October, 1901

National Press Reporter, October, 1901
Kelley. James Edward, lawyer, was born at
Unity, Me-, February 2, 1885, son of Benjamin
Franklin and Louisa P. (Adams) Kelley. His
first paternal American ancestor was Aaron
Kelley, who with his brother Joseph came from
Kildare, Ireland, about 1880 and settled at
Boothbay, Maine. Aaron afterward married
and went north with his family and was one
of the first settlers in what was then called
Antioch, but it is now known as Unity, Maine,
following in his northward trek the trail made
by Arnolds army when it marched to take
Quebec. Aaron's wife was Mary Canady, and
their son Samuel married Sarah Vickery, a
niece of John Mitchell, the first settler of the
town, and daughter of David Vickery, who
was revolutionary soldier. Samuel and Sarah
Kelley were the grandparents of the subject
Of this sketch. During the war of 1872 his
grandfather Samuel and his uncle, James Kel-
ley, were members of the home guard which
was called out and stationed at Edgecomb,
Maine, for short time. Benjamin Franklin
Kelley, the father, was writer of some note,
and frequent poetical contributor to the
local papers, He was deeply interested in the
liberal religious movement of the last century,
and pioneer in promoting temperance and
prohibition in Maine when the cause was new.
James Edward Kelley received his early edu-

THE OLD COLOR.

Many newspapers, recounting the incl.
dent of New York veteran whose re-
quest that he might be permitted to
touch the old regimental flag he followed
during the Civil War was granted by the
Adjutant General of the State, comment
upon 1t as If it were an exceptional hap
pening. The picture presented is strik-
ing and pathetic, the old soldier passing
his hands over the frayed, sacred silk,
which by General Verbeck's order was
taken from the glass case to crafty him,
then turning sadly away with the words
that he was near his end but had felt that
ne must see the ''old color" again before
ne died. The scene is rather typical than
novel. Not many years ago Massachu-
sets veteran on his death bed requested
that the ''old color" might be placed
upon his coffin. On the application of
his family the request was granted, the
State authorities seeing that the flag was
returned to its glass case when the fu-
neral was over. There are two bars of
rusty brown on the State color of one
of the Massachusetts regiments, which
woman once was overheard pointing
out to boy at her side as made by
the blood of his father. That father
lived long after the war, and often told
with Justlnable pride how he Rugged the
color to his breast when both of his arms
were shattered. AS much as 500 had
been offered in vain for a piece of the
old color by rich veteran, who hoped
that in the inspection and repairing a
fragment might fall to the ground. A
sign at the State House requests WISH
tors to remove their hats in passing be-
fore the battle flags. At first it seemed
novel, perhaps arbitrary, but it so sort
ed with the general sentiment of devo-
ton to the flag that now the observance
is so general that an individual excep-
ton excites comment. The attachment
of the soldier for the color is one the
civilian recognizes without wholly I'M
derstanding. 1t must be felt to be real
lied in its intensity. The Union veteran
loves the Stars and Strips, but his love
for the regimental or State color is a
twin love. Boston Transcript
