Bangkok, Siam, seem very much
satisfied with their representative,
and have sent petition to Presi.
dent KcKinley to have him retained
through the administration. The
proceeding is very extraordinary,
but, from the recapitulation, the
American colony has not had a
brilliant set of representatives in
the past, and, having got hold of a
good one, they want to keep him
no matter what his stripe of politics
may be.
The recapitulation of the virtues
of John Barrett are very gravely set
forth-they are as follows: He is
a leading member of the Bangkok
United Club, and saved it from
splitting in twain he is Commo-
dore of the Sailing Club, President
of the Rifle Association, committee
man Of the Lawn Tennis Club,
member of the Golf and Gym
kama Clubs, and warden of the
Bangkok church. He has also kept
the legation grounds clean and tidy,
and is an excellent host. Incl
dentally, he has looked after the
interests of his country and country
men, and kept regular office
hours"
The beautiful simplicity OF the
petition, which is quite lengthy
affair, is delicious, and one car
imagine the patronage distributor
of party having the document
framed and glazed as a specimen Of
pure, unadulterated cheek and the
beauty of it is, that the signers dc
not realize how funny it is. The
Americans of Siam have evidently
been a long time away from theil
native land. To be a lawn tennis
committeeman must, indeed, be q
recommendation for a minister.
resident, and, when added to that
he has the legation grounds put in
order, why he must be retained
forever-and-ever. The suggestion
is thrown out for the benefit O.
Minister Sewall. He does KEEP
the legation-gr grounds clean but
alas he belongs to no tennis club
and he has joined no Golf and Gym
kama clubs. The minister must
get a move on and qualify, if he
wants to be up with his brother o
Siam.

A carpenter is known by the
tools he keeps. Many car
penters can do good work with
inferior tools, but it stands to
reason that better ones will do
better and quicker work. 1t
is our wish that every carpen-
ter in town call at our stores
this week and see our stock of
carpenters tools; we have
everything he wants. We are
always on the lookout for
novelties and necessities that
will expedite and simplify the
labor of the mechanics, and we
are confident that the good
things spoken Of below will
do so.
Balsley's patentscrew driver
and holder is the most unique
tool ever placed on the mar
ket. By a simple arrange
ment the screw is held in posi-
ton as firmly as though it
were a portion of the driver
itself. The tool can be ad-
justed to fit any size of head in
fraction of a second.
Oil stones are used constant
ly, and should be kept free
from grit or dust. The handy
oil stone, set in a wooden
frame with wooden cover, is a
gem.
We have an immense stock

THE FORT-sTREET PROPERTY.

Henry Holmes and other defend
ants today filed a demurrer in the
Circuit Court in the suit brought
against them by S. Ahui, who is seon-
ing to gain possession of valuable
property on Beretania and Fort
streets. The contention in the de-
murrer is that the description of the
property is vague and insufficient
and the Marshal would not be able
to deliver it in the event of a decision
in Ahui's favor.

The First American Flag.

A well-known authority on American
curios says: '"The first resemblance
to a flag was the work of Benjamin
Franklin and Messrs. Harrison and
Lynch. They were chosen as a COM
mittee to create a national flag, and
adopted the Kings colors as a union,
reunited with thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; showing that, although
the colonies united for defense against
England's tyranny, they still acknowl-
edged her sovereignty" On Tuesday.
Jan. 9, 1776, this flag was hoisted in
camp at Cambridge, Mass, now Somer-
vile, receiving a salute Of thirteen
guns and thirteen cheers. The first
American-made flag was hoisted yer
the capitol at Washington Feb. "a,
1866, all previous flags having been
manufactured from English bunting.

Overwhelmed by an Avalanche.

An extraordinary escape from deaf
was lately recorded by a newspaper OF,
Mountain Home, Idaho, q mining town,
high up among the mountains, where
avalanches of the most fearful descrip-
ton are not infrequent. On the first
day of last December a citizen OF
Mountain Home. Frank Andreas by
name, started at an early hour in the,
morning to go from a mine to a black.
smith shop, some distance away on The
side of the mountain. With him weret
his two big dogs, which are in part Of
st. Bernard blood.
The dogs were %gamboling about in;
the snow some distance from their
master, when a great snowslide, whichl
the warmth of the sun had dislodgPdl
some two hundred feet up the moun-I
tain, descended upon Andreas with
such velocity that there was no escap-I
ing from it.
He was borne along with and un6er
the snow, and lodged against the side
of the gulch much farther down. Aboye5
him the snow was packed hard. AM
tASd AAN hON AAN" w ~ - "Ao
in reality it was about four feet above
his head-but he did know that it was
so hard that he could scarcely move 81
muscle.
Andreas quickly began to experience
difficulty in breathing. Luckily he had
been carried along by the avalanche IN,
an upright position; he had thrown mp
his hands in an effort to ave HIMSELF
and his left arm had remained in that
position-thrust upward. By working
it from side to side in the hard-packe6
snow, he made a small opening up int
looser snow in which there seemed to-
be some air; at any rate, he could
breathe enough to save himself from
~suffOcation at present.
He knew, however, that he could not
live in such a place long. He struggled
and pushed, and tried to enlarge the
opening made by his left arm. picking
pieces of snow from about his body
with his right hand and working them
into the opening.
But he would certainly have grown
discouraged. after he had worked vain
ly thus far half an hour or more. if he
had not heard a scratching and bur
rowing sound above his head. He
knew by this that his faithful dogs had
escaped the avalanche, had found the
place where he IA overwhelmed, and
were digging him out.
This gave him strength for new ef>
forts. Now he bent all his w en-
deavors, not to getting out-he eft the
dogs to uncover him-but to getting air
enough to keep him alive until the dogs
should succeed in digging down
through the hard snow. He worked his
left hand upward and about, and as the
dogs dug downward, he soon succeed
ed in getting a little hole through to
the air.
For an hour and a half he and he
dogs were at work, and at the end OF
that time he succeeded in dragging
himself out upon the side of the exca
walton the dogs had made. There,
more dead than alive, he took deep
draughts of the mountain air till these
revived him, and he was able to go on
his way.

Want No Immiyraut Teachers.

The school teachers of England fear
that the educational department will
admit TO employment in the elementary
schools of Great Britain teachers hold
ing the certificates issued by the Irish
education board. They argue that this
would lower the standard of the schools
and increase the opportunities Tor theo-
logical discussions. The ordinary sal
airy of teachers in Ireland is about 5000
less than that of the English teacher
of corresponding grade, and this leads
many to believe that a considerable i'm
