There was a banquet given at the
Carter House last Friday evening in
honor of the West Virginia Board of
Immigration an.I Development. We
have no doubt it was an elegant af
fair, since it was under the manage
ment of Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Baker,
but owing loa previous engagement
we were not present, but neverthe- i
less have the extreme pleasure of
knowing what we missed by glan
cing over the following menu:
Steak, fish, boiled roek, egg sauce.
(•«*/</ Jhxtn Ix»in of beet, mutton and
lamb, veal, beef tongne,
Kutrees. Chicken salad, lobster salad,
deviled crabs.
Vegetables.- Sliced tomatoes, lettuce. ,
Iie)i*Ke*. - Worcester sam e, cncumlier
pickles, mixed pickles, chow chow, cold |
slaw.
Ire Creams uutl lees.—Vanilla cream, i
pm*- apple cream, lenten lee.
Fruits.—Strawberries, oranges, bann- 1
lias, mixed nuts, cakes, coffee, tea, iced
tea.
Wines.—Sherry,claret, eatawba,chain- i
pagne.
We take the following account,
from the Free Press:
It developed the capacity -of Mr.
Baker of the Carter House to ele
gantly and sumptuously entertain,
and on the par t of guests an indom
itable “industry” in the direction of
•‘internal improvement.” The deli
cacies of the season were deliciously
served. The tables were tastefully
garnished—embellished with flow
ers and dtcorated dishes, spotless
linen, Ac. Ac.—the whole attesting
that deft fingers and (esthetic tastes
of fair women were l#id utider con
tribntion.
Hon Win. 11. Travers presided.
Sentimeute were briefly responded
to by Hon. B. S. Morgan, State Su
perintendent of Schools. Hon. P. H.
Duffy, State Auditor, and State Sen
ator Oxley—guests from abroad; al
so by Hons. D. II. Lucas and W. H.
Tiavers. Col. R. P. ( hew. Mayor
elect Gustav Brown, Joseph Trap
nell, B. C. Washington. J. O. Aglion
by, B. 1). Gibson, W A. Sbewalter,
G. W. Haines, I)r. J. V. Simmons, J.
F. Fugle. It was. indeed, a “feast j
of leason and a flow of soul.” The
participants were at table about two
hours, and were regaled bv excellent
music by llieCornet. Band underthe
leadership of Mr C. L Osburn.
It was a matter of regret to all
that the gentlemen from the State of
the State Board of Development
could not remain to be present at
the banquet.
Miss Mary Ingel, while standing
on a bridge over Fishing Cieek, W.
Va., playfully dropped a small stone,
intending it to splash the water over

was bending over, washing his hands
in the stream; but the 9tone striking
him on the head, caused instant
death.

Avery pretty white and gold lunch
was given by the Misses Gibson
on Friday last to their guests, Misses
Lewis and Shepherd. There were
twelve covers. Down the centre of
the white table cloth was a scarf of

and bordered with snow balls. In :
the center of the scarf was placed a
huge bowl of snow balls and old
fashion yellow lilies. At opposite !
ends were handsome candelabra
whose waxen lights blending with
those from the mantel and buffet
shed a soft radiance over the whole,
making the table with its burden of ,
fine French porcelain and silver or

sure you get the genuine. Because !
he can make more profit he may tell i

Another Sw indle,—Sharpers are
traveling through the country with
a new confidence game with which
they are fleecing farmers. The
game is to take orders for groceries
at ruinously low prices. The goods j
are delivered by the carload, each j
man’s purchase wrapped up in sepa ;
rate packages marked with name.
Collections are made at once. The
victim on opening his first package J
finds adulterated goods, and in some ;
instances almost worthless stuff’. It ,
is estimated that the swindlers clear
from $600 to $800 on each carload
that they sell. Of course it is to
those farmers who cannot afford to
take a newspaper and who are so
full of wisdom they think strangers
are ready to give them better bar
gains than their home dealers, who
are the victims of these swindlers,
and they are deserving of no sym
pathy. •

Inherited Diseases.
No fact of nature la more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact of lha
inheritance of disease.
Modern science, which has Illuminated
so many dark corners of nature,has shed
a new light on the ominous words of the
Bcriptures, “The sins of the fathers,
shall be visited upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation."
Fifty per oeut. of cases of consumption,
cancer and scrofula, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity is bored
' itary in a marked degree, but, fortu
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin
guished scientist truly says: “No organ
or texture of the body is exempt from
the chance of being the subject of
hereditary disease." Probably more
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions of
the body, are more or less liable to be in
herited. The Important and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts—
are obvious to reflecting minds, and the
beet means for preventing or curing
these diseases is a subject of Intense in
terest to alL Fortunately nature has
CTided a remedy, which experience
attested as infallible, and the reme
