While we have French, Italian,
Chinese and Spanish restaurants, and
one or two chop houses which would
be quite English were it not for their
German walters, It would be difficult
to name a single kitchen in the town
that excels in the preparation of our
homely American dishes in the very
best fashion, says the New York Her
aid Sad as it is to tell it, not one of
our famous bonifaees makes a serious
effort to preserve the noble traditions
of native cookery that are embodied in
corned beef hash, pork and beans with
a little molasses, fish cakes made from
fresh cod, Indian pudding and chicken
gumbo, not to mention such costly del
icacies as terrapin and canvasback.

The French eXecutioner, the famous
NJ. Diebler, figured in an exalted capao-
ity the other week when he lectured
and gave demonstrations on the fine
art Of head-chopping to a Japanese
mission which is making inquiries in
Europe and America into the easiest
and most humane method of executing
criminals. M. Diebler escorted tho
mission to the shed In Paris, where
the Red Widow" waits, and after
long description OF each detail OF the
grim machine, gave a performance Of
an execution, cutting of the head OF
a dummy figure for the instruction Of
the visitors They were most in
terested, and before leaving asked NJ.
Diebler to make an estimate of the
price Of a guillotine complete with all
its fittings, and to include in his esti-
mate his charge for a dozen lessons
to a Japanese to be appointed for the
purpose.

For Representative.

The BANNER takes more than
the usual pleasure in calling the
attention of its readers to the fact
that Hon. George T. Veeder is
again a candidate 70. re-ele> ion
to the House of Representatis es.
Mr.. Veeder's record in the last
General Assembly is above criti-
cism or rep.oach and that he will
be returned is foregone conclu-
sion. MI. Veeder is engaged in
the mercantile business in Charen-
ion. He has shown he is sctive
and energetic aud his record of
success in his own business is an
assurance of his successful hand
ling of any public business affairs
entrusted to him. Being identiti-
ed with the business interests of
the parish, he is thoroughly en-
lightened to the wants of the peo-
pie in the halls of legislation and
possesses every moral and intel
lectual attribute which goes to
make an ideal representative. It
is needless to say that the BANNER
is supporting his candidacy as
zealously as it is within its power
and ability SO to do. He deserves
and ought to receive an unanimous
election.
