He has made a good start and to prove this he has been place on the appointment committee, a very important com mitte in the legislature. Mr. Rees er's nomination and election to this committee is the second Sul livan county representative to be placed on the appointment com mittee in the history of the county, -as far as is known.

Every whaler and sealer that sailed the seas ID the days of wooden ships tarried a Are bag. This was a tarpau lin bag about a foot long and sis Inches wide lined with waterproof material, with interlinlngs of oilcloth and thick flannel. Into this was placed the flint and tinder box for kindling Ore, and the bag was then securely fastened with double flaps and tied to keep Its contents dry. It was the special duty of tbe second mate to look after the fire bag and In case of shipwreck to at tack It at once to his person by means of stout straps provided for the pur pose. Thus if officers and crew were • ust away on some deserted shore In the desolate arctic circle the means of obtaining a fire to warm themselves by and to heat food and drink would not be wanting as long as the precious fire bag was safe. The steam whalers and sealers of the present day still carry a flre bag stowed In the lifeboat with the bread and wa ter. but now it Is of rubber and con tains half a dozen tin boxes of matches. —New York Press.

The application of Rear Admiral Barry for etirement has been approved by President Tal't, and he has been transferred to the retired list of the navy. The navy department has received a telegram from Hear Admiral Thom as, who was appointed to succeed Ad miral Barry, that he had assumed tho command of the Pacific fleet. The navy department issued the order re tiring Admiral Barry on Saturday, and advised him of that fact by telegraph. This action was taken before the publication of the allegations that of ficers of the flagship West Virginia contemplated charges against the ad miral reflecting upon his moral char acter. Secretary of the Navy Meyer tele graphed to the Pacific coast for a full report on the allegation that the re tirement of Admiral Barry was caused by the demands for his resignation by officers of the flagship West Virginia. The navy department declined to say to whom the telegram asking for a re port had been sent, but it is assumed that it was directed to Rear Admiral Thomas, the new commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet.
