Wanting Prohibition.

A large majority of the voters of
West Virginia are wanting prohi-
hilton, and are eagerly demanding
che opportunity to vote for such a
law, aud must they be denied this
privilege because it may interfere
with d traffic that is crushing the
hearts and hopes of the people, de-
sEroying their homes and making
paupers and criminals of their
sons?
1t is a false idea, that public
opinion must always go in advance
Of legislation,
In every form of government
chat has ever existed, law has been
recognized as an educator of the
people.
Laws have been enacted sim ply
5mause they were just and right
and good, and we'll calculated to Sc
cure and promote the public we'll
fare; and under the administration
and educational influences of these
so Vt and wholesome laws, the moral
sentiment of the people has been
aeveloped, and they have been, led
forward to the realization of the
highest and best in good and true
citizenship. So VIII it be when
W. get prohibition. Let US have

A Pleasant Episode.
NAMES.

At New Haven, W. Va, July 5,
a dinner was given in honor of
Bishop Dickson, D. d., at the home
of Presiding Elder, S. J. Graham.
There were a goodly number of the
sisters present, both from the coun-
try and town, also several Of the
U. B. ministers. Several valuable
gifts were presented to the Elder
and his family, and most boun-
teous repast was spread before the
company by number of the guests
themselves, presided over by Mrs.
Graham and Mrs. Blagg.
The ladies came, noS only to en-
JOY pleasant day at the home of
their Presiding Elder but to make
themselves useful as we'll. They
put quilt into the frames, and
had an old, fashioned West Virginia
quilting.
The ministerial visitors were
Rev. J. L. Hensley, Rev. A. S.
Blagg, Bishop J. Dickson, D. d.,
and Rev. A, G. Halterman.
Ovations of this kind are rare,
but none the less enjoyable to a
careworn itinerant.
At about 4 o'clock, p. M, address
ses were delivered by Rev. DIR.
Hensley, Bishop Dickson, A. G.
Blagg, Hon. L. Bumgasner, and
Elder Graham.
GAIL Hail the Power of Jesus
Name" was sung with much ear
nestness, after which the Bishop
lead in deeply affecting prayer.
The Doxology was sung, the
benediction was pronounced, and
the good byes were said, and so a
most pleasurable day was ended.
Nav those kind friends all meet
again. AN EYE WITNESS.

$4,000 Woa In a Jack Pot.

Philadelphia, March 2S.-Whcn
fast young clue men tire of the mon
otony OF club parlorS and smoking
rooms, they occasionally seek the
seclusIOn OF "A popular hotel not a
mile away from the Union League
and indulge in a quiet game OF
draw poker, with jack pots and all
the trimmings. \ few nights ago
such a game was in progress, in
winch me Philadelphia Social Art
and Union League clubs were rep
resented. After an nour or 30 of
play, with hardly enough difference
IN fortune To warm up tue players,
a Jack pot was made which was not
broken until four or tive deals had
swallowed 1t to a handsome sum.
Young Thomas a Scott, finding
three queens, threw in a twenty
dollar gold piece with great conf
dence, John Tucker examined his
hand and found Il pair Of Jacks and
lilC lcus lllIIc anu hCNCl Ol uld-
monds, one Of his Jacks being also
OF that suit. With the alternative
Of drawing to his four flush, Mr..
Tucker remarked that it would cost
fifty dollars TO play and he put up
the cash. All the players threw
up their hands excepting NJ. Scott,
who merely saw the raise. MIR.
Scott drew one card and got his
fourth queen. Mr.. Thicker split
his Jacks, and drawing to his four
husn, took in the eight ofdiamonds,
making his hand Il straight flush.
Ar. scott said that his hand va,
worth $1,000, and put that amount
i'll the pot.
My hand is worth 50, 000.'
said Mr.. Tucker, in a nervous tone
causing Mr.. Scott to think tiut per
haps an attempt to blutf was il
progress.
Five thousand more" Mr..
Scott said.

Mr.. SCOTS confidence in his
queens was undiminished, and he
chucklcd to himself to think what
a snap Tucker had got himself into.
There might be some doubt about
Mr.. fuckers ability to pay if he
lost, hut it was worth the risk.
Thirty thousand more" was
the net result of Mr.. SCOTS brief
self consultation.

over his hand to see whether it was

spreading out his hand on the table,
and making r move as though to
