Is OUR Geographic columns this
morning will be found an extended ae-
count OF the banquet TO the World 5
Fair commissioners ut Charleston last
evening. The affair was a splendid one
and must have Impressed the visitors at
the very start with the fact that West
N.rginians, at least. know how TO enter
tain. The speeches. Of which an extended
report is given, were noble efforts and
presented West Virginia's magnificent
resources I'm manner betting
their grandeur and extent. The
pictures thus drawn and the valuable
information given must impress the
Legislature with the desirability Of
making proper display of the state ;
products and immense undeyeloped re-
sources az the great Fair. In this re-
respect at least il can confidently be
said that the banquet was a success and
accomplished, as far as possible the
object for which 10 was chiefly designed.
The Legislature doubtless will make an
appropriation sufficiently liberal TO give
the managers Of the exhibit ample
scope. The remainder Of the work will
then dcvolye upon these commissioners
and their task will be FAR from easy.

A Communication
WITNESS & HEARsAY.

EDITORS WORLD: It is some times
necessary to defend ones self by publish
ing few facts. So will say few words
through our home paper. AS l hear it is
being reported around that Mr.. Mapes
had brought the diphtheria from the
mountains, and will say there is no truth
in the report. Mr.. Mapes had the diph-
liberia in York State, years ago, and he has
not sore throat of any kind, but came
home helpless, with the Inhanmatory
rheumatism, nearly eight weeks ago. Two
days later our little boy took down with
the throat disease. I was the next to
follow. Within three days the other three
children came down with it. We sum-
moned DR.. Kidd from Ellis.
In attendance, DR.. Kidd will assert
that Mr.. Mapes had no throat disease.
Mr.. Cowden will do the same as he was
here through all our sickness, in fact has
been father to me in time OF need and
he knows we did every thing possible
that no one should spread the disease.
While here 1 asked the DR.. in regards to
it and he said it would be as well for the
children to stay away, and so told their
schoolmates when they called to stay
away for a while, as their parents can
certify. Now how is it that it can be car
ried from my house easier than it can from
the school house, is what I cannot under
stand, as the teacher had it two weeks
after we took down, and be commenced
school two weeks before my children were
out of the house and him staying in the
house with the disease all the while. Now
I do not accuse others of spreading this
disease as tits a treacherous thing. I
have washed, cleaned and fumigated
the house with sulphur, Mr.. J. Harrison
was a brother to us, He helped take care
Of Mr.. Mapes and did not carry it to his
little ones. In fact all the neighbors were
just as good and kind as they could be
anywhere, and thank them all, from the
dearest throbs of my heart, for helping
me care for my loved ones. With the kind
est of feeling for ALL 1 remain Respectfully
Mrs. Benz. MAPEs.

paper will come off or tear ut the most
critical time.
On any journey which will extend
through IN entire day or night, certain
articles are indispensable for comfort,
and they should be carried in u good
substantial travcling-bag, which can be
purchased for small sum and will last
for years. In it should be placed tow
els, soap, toothbrush, comb and brush,
and pair of slippers; if for night
journey, loose wrapper or dressing
sack in addition.
The soap supplied at hotels and In
the tollct-rooms Of sleeping cars is
often not such as u person would wish
to use, and even if it were. the thought
of all who have used it before is very
unpleasant A simple soap-casc Gig.
~ can be crochctcd out of white knit
ting-cotton; No. 10 is good size. 1t is
worked in single crochet stitch with n
medium sized steel crochet needle. 1t is
made in two picces-casc and cover
to fit over it. They are joined with
cord made by twisting several strands
of the cotton tightly together. a piece
of narrow linen tape ten inches long is
fastened to the center of the cover to be
wrapped around the case and tied.
When it is to be placed in the bag
chain about an inch and n half long is
first made; this Is worked round and
round, widening for several rows. The
case is about three inches long, an inch
deep and the same wide. The cover
is made in exactly the same manner,
only the sides are worked n little more
loosely, to admit of it's slipping over. A
piece of soap is cut to fit and put in the
case. The material used to make this
little case allows of its being washed
when soilcd, and the stitch used makes
it SO thick that there is no danger of
the damp soap soiling any other of the
contents of the bag.

years if properly vanished each season
with any good siccativc.

How to Cook VEGETABLES.

From u new cook book by Mrs. Rorcr,
we take some ideas on the subject. Few
things show the difference between
comfortable and slovcnly housekeeping
moro quickly than the dressing of vegc-
tables. Potatoes, one of the most i'm
portant vegetables (servcd in nearly
every household once n day., IRE rarely
cooked i'll n wholesome or even palata-
BILE manner; out OF every ten plates
that come TO the table but one will be
found perfect. All green vegetables
should be freshly gaAhcrcd, washed in
cold water, and cooked in freshly boiled
water until tender, not n moment
longer. After water hos boiled for O
time 1t parts with it's gases and be-
comes. hard, and most vegetables are
better cooked In soft water.
