GAVE HER A CROCK.
Preachers Text Seemed Like Home
 Thrust to Choir Singer.

To the inhabitants of the little town of Princeton, Me, the subject of mat rimony is serious one. there being very few eligible men in the place, while old maids are legion. The little church in the town being without a pastor was receiving a candidate every Sunday from some theological semi nary. and the maiden ladies were anx. iously awaiting for the parish to de- eide which of the candidates should permanently fill the pulpit.
 At last the decision was made.
 Now. the choir was composed almost wholly of ambitious maidens. so 1t is needless to say that on the morning of the first sermon by the new min ister every member of the choir was arrayed in the brightest ribbons and gayest smiles. Perhaps the foremost one in the chase for admirers was a Miss Duplicy. and she had chosen the seat in the choir where she could not fail to be seen by the minister.
 That morning the minister chose for his sermon this subject:
 Keep thine eve single" and the first words of his sermon were these: Beware of duplicity." All eyes turned to Miss Duplicy. The next Sunday she gave up her seat in the choir.

BIG CHINESE LOSS.
Trading Quarters in Siam Destroyed
 by Fire.

Bangkok, Siam, Jan T.-The Chin ese trading quarters of Bangkok has been devastated by fire It is esti- mated that the loss will amount to about $3,000. .000.
 Bangkok. the capital of Siam. is situated twenty miles from the mouth of the Menam river, which flows into the head of the Gulf of Siam. Many of the houses are built upon rafts. a single raft frequently supporting eight or ten houses. Part of the city. however, is of modern construction. having electric illumi- nation and electric cars, while lines of steam railway run in various di- rections. The business of Bangkok is largely in the hands of the Chinese, who are about as numerous as the native Siamese. The estimates of the population vary between 250, 900 and 600. 900.
 The city is situated on both sides of the river. On the left bank of the Menam is the city proper, en- closed partly by a wall. in which are situated the royal palaces and the government offices. The consulates, ths residences of fernignArs sud the principal mills are on the main street of the city. The right bank is prin- cipally occupied by the Sianese, Chi nese and Mohammedan residents. The principal trade of Bangkok. and the foundation on which its existence rests in the main. Is rise, which is drawn in immense quantities not only from the innumerable fields which line the fertile valleys of the Menam. but from the adjacent rivers which flow into the Gulf of Siam.

sEwELL FOR POLITICS.
Report Says He Expects to Be Mayor
 of Waterbury.

Report Says He Expects to Be Mayor
 of Waterbury.
 General Manager Sewell of the trolley company said to-day that so far as he knows no plans are under way for a double track in Baldwin street. Such thing he considered almost out of the question, and be- sides there is no need of it. Mir Sew ell will soon step aside and take a vacation of about three months, after which he will return to Waterbury. and. so some of his close friends say, try his hand at politics, beginning by being a candidate for the mayoralty nomination next fall. When asked about this matter this afternoon he refused to affirm or deny the rumor. but judging by the way he took 1t there is something to it. Whatever. if any. political future there may be for Mir Sewell, it is quite likely that he will always be associated in some way or other with the trolley road. so that although he will soon disappear for a time he is bound to turn up again. If not as chief magistrate of the city. in some capacity for the rail- road folks. Wouldn't it be quite a hit for the railroad folks if Mir Sewell should be mayor of Waterbury while all these proposed changes are hang ing in the balance. There are many who claim that notwithstanding his connection with the biz corporation. sewell could be depended upon to do the right thing by the city This may be true. but it should be an uphill job to convert a majority of the cleo tors of this town to that sort of thing.
