Saturday night royal banquet
vas given in the parlors of the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance office in
the Empire building. Covers were
laid for fourteen and supper served
in twelve courses. 1t would waste
Tine and space 10 comment upon its
excellence. It is sufficient to say
that 1t was prepared and served by
j. T. swager but the Telegram must
say that the blue points on half
shell, royal cheese and waters, sal
ads and ices deserve special mem
ton.
The banquet was rendered by
Messrs. billiard and Thornton, as
sistant superintendent of the Met
ropolitan at Fairmont, as a result of
contest between them and their
stan of men, against Messrs. George
Herring and F. D. Williams, assist
ant superintendent, and their staff
here, for the best writings for the
past three months. There was ex-
cellent work done at both places and
the contest was close, but when It
was made known that Clarksburg
had won the victory, the Fairmont
gentlemen at once placed the neces-
sary funds in the hands OF supt. j.
H. Stephenson. with a request that
he manage the affair and to do moth
ing by halves. Consequently, 1t
goes without saying that it was in
every way grand success.
Those present were Superintendent
]. H. Stephenson, who rendered the
principal toast; Assistant superin-
tendent Geo. Herring and stan, viz:
J. P. Reynolds, E. A. Rider, ]. N.
Flanagan and o. j. Morrison; Assist.
ant Superintendent F. D. Williams
and staff, viz: A. C. Hanson. f. G,
Walch. L. 2. Lottig and L. B. Hef-
ner; DR.. ]. P. Mcclure, examining
physician. The invited guests were
agent R. Rost, representative from
Fairmont, and L. B. Ray. Of this
city.
Fatrmont Yields to defeat in this
contest. but bravely sends another
challenge, which clarksburg has ac-
cepted. Much good work will be ac-
complished in the next three months,
and should Fairmont be successful
that city will find Clarksburg ready
with the forfeit.

A bill that will attract more at
tention than any other is House Bill
No. so, introduced by Mr.. Smith, Of
cabell. 1t provides for the abolish
ment OF all fees in county offices and
gives graduated salaries to all coun.
ty officers, based at so many dollars
on the 1000 population or fraction
thereof. This bill was submitted
after consulting many attorneys who
hold that it is not necessary to have
a constitutional amendment in order
to place county officers on a salary.
If the bill passes 1t will not take eff
feet until Jan. l, 1909.
A provision of this bin makes the
tax commissioner its virtual head,
as all fees. ETC., must be reported to
him.

NJ Hart tells one of the best Jokes
Of the dark Wednesday yet made
public When he awaked wednes.
day morning in his room at the
Kanawha hotel, the water supply
was OF and he had to take his bath
in the contents of half gallon bot
tie of lithia water which was in his
room for drinking purposes. Not
withstanding the meager bath Mr..
Hart looked as neat as If he had had
the use Of his bathroom attachment,
when water was plentiful, and was
one of the most cheerful members
who sought the heatless state house.
The statement of State Geologist
White that $4,000, 900 worth of
natural gas is annually wasted in
West Virginia, will likely result in
legislation putting an end to this
criminal waste. Millions have been
wasted, gone out in the air to re-
turn no more, and If the present
legislature does not stop the waste
by an act at this session, before the
next legislature meets twenty mil
lion more dollars will be gone never
to be recovered.
Col. stillings. of Tucker, is now
at work on a measure to this end
and in 1t he will have the hearty
support of Senator Thorn, the dele
gates from Harrison, and for that
matter, the senators and delegates
from all over the state.
An effort will be made to pass an
act whereby gas cannot be taken out
of the State, but as the Interstate
Commerce law stands so prominent
as carrier that the best legal minds
in the legislature doubt if consti-
tutional measure of this kind can be
framed.

JOHN DIS GOOD WORK
Would Teach Mothers How
 to Care For Babies.
NURSES TO GIVE DEMONSTRATIONS
Open Air Treatment and Principle of "CleanIiness Next to GOdliness" to Be Great Factors In Aid
 of Little Ones.

NEW YORK. June 29.-John D. Rock efeller has undertaken the novel and gigantic task of teaching New York mothers, young and old alike, how to care for their babies. Out of the vari- ous forms of cut and dried charities In which he is interested he has evolv- ed this plan as a practical step of beneficence and summer diversion and will shortly enthrone himself as the domestic head of the poor families in the thickly populated districts.
 Instead of giving lot of time and care to one individual child, why not teach the mother how it should be done, so that she can take care of her entire flock"
 It is on this basis that MT. Rocke- feller has mapped out his maternal education campaign, according to Fred erick D. Greene of the New York As sociation For Improving the Condition of the Poor. This organization is to act in the capacity of agent for MT. Rockefeller and on next Monday will open his school of instruction on the grounds of the Rockefeller Institute For Medical Research, Sixty-sixth street and the East river.
 MT. Rockefellers plan, according to MT. Greene, is to employ twenty nurses at his own expense, ten of them to be stationed at the open air camp on the grounds of the institute and ten to visit mothers in their homes and dis pense instruction with regard to the care of children. Each nurse, skilled in the treatment of the young, will be provided with a set of rules which have been worked out with extreme care, so as to be perfectly ineligible to the average mother.
 Open air treatment and the principle of cleanliness being next to godli- ness" are the two factors in the bring ing up of children that MT. Rockefeller has especial confidence in and will ac- cordingly be vigorously urged by his health dispensing emissaries. On the theory that actual demonstration Is the best method of teaching, the fine distinction between a washed and an unwashed child will be drawn for the edification of the mothers.
 Not only will the nmses give these instructions in the homes of the poor, but similar demonstrations will be made at the camp on the institute grounds and on recreation piers, which will also be used as schools.

The Hague Peace Conference Hear
 Eloquent Speech on Exemptions.
 THE HAGUE. June 29.-The sitting of the first committee of the peace con- ference afforded an opportunity for Joseph H. Choate, the American dele gate, to deliver long and eloquent speech upholding the principle of the exemption of all private property ex- cept contraband from capture on the high sea. The success obtained by this speech left the impression that the American proposition, which in the conference of 1899 was only taken in for consideration, this time will be unanimously approved. The following questions were considered:
 First.-Do practice and legislation admit of belligerent states transform ing merchantmen into warships?
 Second.-In the case of merchantmen being transformed into warships. what are the legal conditions which belliger- eDts will have to observe?

WILCOX CHAIRMAN.
Hughes Names Two Public
 Utilities Boards.
STEVENS FOR STATE COMMISSION.
New York Legislature Has Given Members Most Extraordinary and Sweeping Powers to Cafry
 Out Governors Ideas.


 Out Governor's Ideas. l ALBANY, N. Y., June Ex-Governor Hughes announced at the executive chamber the names of the members of the New York city and state utilities commissions Postmaster William K. I Wilcox is the chairman of the New York city commission, and Frank W. Stevens of Jamestown. Chautauqua | county, is the chairman of the state commission. Mir. Stevens Is an attor- ney of western New York. He led the fight 10 secure the unseating by the legislature of Supreme Court Justice l Warren B. Hooker.
 The members of the two commis- slons are:
 First District (New York City).-Wil- liam R. Wilcox, chairman, New York; William McCarroll, Brooklyn; Edward M. Bassett, Brooklyn; Milo Roy Malt bic, New York, and John E. Eustis, New York.
 Second District Up State).-Frank 1 w. Stevens, Jamestown, chairman; Thomas Mott Osborne, Auburn; Charles Hallam Keep, Buffalo; James E. Sague, i New Hamburg, and Martin s. Decker, 1 New Paltz.
 l When Governor Hughes formally makes the above appointments on Monday he will announce the terms l for which each of his first appointees are to serve, the longest term being | five years. The idea is to have one member of each commission to go out each year. The salary of each commis- sioner is $15,000. | Powers of the most extraordinary and sweeping character have been given the public utilities commission appointed by Governor Hughes. The bill creating the commissions, which was earnestly advocated by Governor 1 Hughes, marked what was probably one of the most important steps for ward in the present demand, which extends throughout the country, for more strict and more detailed supervi- ] sion of corporations. The commissions will have complete and free handed control and will be held to enforce the regulations provided for in the meas ure for gas and electric lighting trac- tion and other railways and other pub i lie service plants except the telephone and the telegraph.
 It will be for them to compel all cor porations to give safe and adequate service at just and reasonable rates; to prevent all rebates and discriminations in rates between different classes of shippers or passengers or kinds of traf- fic; to compel all common carriers to have sufficient cars and motive power to meet all requirements for the trans portation of passengers and property which may be reasonably anticipated and to see that every common carrier be held specifically liable for loss or damage due to delay in transit occa- stoned by negligence.
 The bill prohibits the giving of free passes except in a few limited in stances. It provides also that no fran chise shall be capitalized in excess of the amount actually paid to the state as consideration for the grant of the franchise.

 a treble on the first treble of the next star, and continue. working all round !the end and along the other side of the stars.
 3rd Long Row: Commence from where the loops of the edging will be joined to the heading (see illustra tion). Work 2 double crochets under each of the two spaces between the trebles, 12 chain back on the first double crochet. 9 double crochets un. ,der the loop just made. chain, g more double crochets under the same loop, :, 2 double crochets in each of the next two spaces between the itrebles in the previous row, chain back into the fourth stitch from the picot in the previous loop, 3 double crochets under the chain just made, chain, 9 more double crochets under same chain, and repeat from until there are 12 loops round the scallop. double crochets between each of the other spaces to the join, and each of the first of the next scallop, 5 chain, catch to the fourth stitch from the last made picot, g double crochets under this chain. and proceed as before along the lower edge of the trimming. loops to each scallop, except the end ones, and working double crochets only along the upper side.
 For the Heading.-Work a row of chain, joining 1t to the scallops with longer or shorter stitches as required to make the work level (see illustra- tion); for the stitch which connects the scallops put the cotton times over the hook, catch to the scallop. work off loops. cotton twice over again, catch to the next scallop and work on all the loops in the usual way. Upon this chain work two rows of double trebles in every other stitch. with 1 chain between each.
 As colored lace Is much in favor as a trimming this season, this design worked with cotton to match would make a very pretty up-todate finish for colored linen dresses; it would have the advantage of washing with the dress itself. and would. moreover. be very durable. Another practical use to which this lace may be put is an edging for toilet covers. A piece of rather coarse linen hemstitched at the edge and finished with this pat tern, makes an extremely nice cover.

Satin Duchesse,

Although much is heard of satin duchesse as a trimming that gives weight to thin skirts. this material ap- pears this season fin a suppleness un- known to fabrics of which our grand mothers were so proud. It is also used fer separate coats and entire cos tunes. sharing honors with chiffon taffetas. liberty satin. faille. etc. Nat. urally 1t Is combined with quantities of lace and embroidery and the luster of the material makes it specially suit able to the fashionable shades of brown. blue, gray. green and layen- der.
