elist, and writer Of great ability. Bour-
get visited America some time ago,

Americans. which is interesting reading
A writer says that at twenty years of
age Bourget was a contributor 10 the
Revue des Deux Mondes. In 1874 he pub
lished a collection Of his poems, la
Vie Inquiete," the title Of which was
faithfully descriptive. In 1878 he publish
ed "Edel," and in 1852 "Aveux." poems
wherein dilettanteism. graceful tender
ness. regrets for lost faith and purity,
and all the Ills attributed to olsen

which evoked the impression Of a new
feminine figure In French poetry, a pre-
Raphaelite figure culiing mystic flowers
In a fresh. dreamy landscape.

EDITORIAL MENIS.

Senator Walthall. of Mississippi, has
published letter in that State, in reply
to a request for his views, strongly
deprecating any such distinction as "Ad-
ministration" and "Anu-Admlnistraton"
among Democrats. He says there is no
principle 10 justify ii, and its manifest
inexpediency should forbid the drawing
OF such a line" lie declares that he and
other Mississippi Democrats differ from
the President on the silver question, thtre-
in standing by their convictions as he
does by his. but 1t does not prevent them
from supporting the administration. lie
thinks there IS no occasion for weakening
the party by dividing ii on financial is
sues, and no ground for trying 10 array
IL against the National Administration.
In this respect the Senator shows sound
political sense, but IL is a great pity
that he and other party leaders in the
South should not be strong enough TO
grasp and TO inculcate among their fol-
lowers sound sense on financial questions
such as invariably comes from real
study of human experience and the prin-
ciples evolved from it,
New York Sun: In the country the
churches provide long sheds in which the
people who drive to the Sunday services
hitch their horses. Now that the bicycle
has come into use so extensively as a
means of transportation. the pastor OF the
Jersey City tabernacle advocates the cree
going wheelmen.
The New Jersey roads near New York
are remarkably well adapted TO wheeling,
and consequently they are crowded with
BICYCLES on every fair Sunday. The en-
thusiasts IN the sport include both men
and women, visitors and inhabitants of
the region. Every ferry boat crossing
the North river on such Sunday carries
a number of wheelmen; and in New Jer-
sey itself proficiency in the use OF the
bicycle has become a necessary accom-
nlishment for large numbers OF people In
the pursuit of their ordinary industry.

imperative reasons to justify them they
are never approved by the people.

He Didn't Advertise.

Several weeks ago Martinsburg
man purchased a pair Of socks which
contained a note saying the writer had
knit them and wanted good husband.
She gave her name, and requested
the purchaser, if an unmarried man,
to write with a view to matrimony.
The latest story is that the young
man who got the letter, after consider
ing the matter in all its phases, de-
cided to write to the girl. He did.
Awaiting the answer with considerable
anxiety, he at last received curt let
ter stating that the girl was now
the mother of two children, and had
been married four years, and that the
letter he had answered had been writ
ten ever so long ago. The young man
hunted hard for solution. He found
1t. The merchant of whom he bought
the socks didn't advertise.

For Good Roads.

Capt. James w. Glenn, of Shenan-
doah Junction, in a recent letter to
the REGISTER, gives his ideas con-
corning the improvement Of our coun-
ty roads. He recommends the follow
ing plan: Take $4,000 of the $40, 900
annually appropriated for repairing
roads, and apply one-half of it to the
interest on $4,000 worth of six per
cent bonds; the other $4,000 apply
as sinking fund This would leave
$4,000 to be applied to the roads
that were not being piked. The
most important roads could be built
within two years. The fund would
then go back to repairing pixies.
Under the present system we are an
nually sinking one-half of the road
fund in throwing up dirt in the mid
die of the road to be made almost i'm
passable during the winter months.
Under the system suggested we would
save annually some 1000 or $4,000,
whereas now the money is being sunk
in the mud. The people of our glo-
rious old county have a right to throw
up their hands in holy horror at the
very mention of bonds, for the simple
reason that they were robbed when
our railroad bonds were issued and
taken possession of by a lot of adven-
turers. Is this any reason why we
should throw up the sponge and bury
ourselves in the mud? Now the sys-
tenn suggested will be owned and
controlled by our own people, not by
any foreign corporation.
Parties say the times are so depress-
lng-tOr that very reason we should
build permanent roads, and thereby
enhance the value of our lands, instead
of almost burying some $4,000 or
$4,000 each year with the prospect of
having permanent roads in the year
2O5O Capt. Glenn suggests that
about fifty miles of roads in the county
be piked, naming those over which
there is the most travel. He suggests
pike ten or twelve feet wide, with a
low grade at the side.

HANGED HIMSELF IN THE BARN.
A WeII-known Young Man Commits Suicide
Near Shepherdstown.

John H. Bowers, a-young man who
passed his nineteenth birthday last
August, committed suicide by hanging
himself in the barn at his home about
three miles below Shepherdstown last
Friday afternoon. Mr.. Bowers was
the youngest son of Mrs. Alice Bowers,
his father, Mr.. G. D. Bowers, having
died several years ago. The farm
upon which they lived lies along the
Potomac river. The young man
managed it for his mother, those two
and sister composing the family.
Last Friday the young man spoke
to his mother concerning his marriage
to a young lady to whom he was en-
gaged-a Miss Beavers, of this county.
His mother advised him to wait a
year, as he was so young, and told
him that she would then give him the
farm. Bowers had very quick tenn
per, and at once flew into passion.
He left the house, and his mother
thought no more of the incident. The
conversation took place about noon.
The young man then went to the barn
and prepared to kill himself, He
took piece of new wire and fastened
one end around rafter in the barn.
With the other end he made loop
around his neck as he stood on beam
some distance from the floor Then
he jumped to his death. His neck
was broken, and the wire cut deep
into the flesh. About three hours
later his mother went to the barn to
gather eggs. She noticed his hat
lying upon the floor, and casting her
eyes upward saw the dead body of her
son hanging from the rafters. The
neighbors were at once sent for, and
in short time Messrs. Geo. W. Os-
bourn, D. Frank Koontz and Benz
Hoffman arrived and took the body
down. Sunday he was buried in the
Reformed Cemetery in this place, the
funeral service being conducted by
Rev G. G. Everhart.
The only cause that can be assigned
for the suicide is the fit Of passion to
which the unfortunate young man
yielded His temper was very
quick one, and he could not bear to
be crossed. His mother, to whom the
trouble comes with crushing effect,
and his sisters have the sympathy of
the people of the community.

Masonic Reunion.


The Masons had a big time in Shep-
herdstown last Monday night, the oc-
casion being the initiation into the
mysteries of the craft of Walter R.
Hill. About forty members from Bob
White and Equality lodges of Martins
burg were present, and a number of
brethren from Dufields, Shenandoah
Junction and Sharpsburg. Capt.
Colston, who was one of the Martins
burg visitors, writes about it as follows
in the World:
The work was exemplifed by W.
NJ. Trammell, of Bob White, in the
East, S. W; Geo. F. Evans, of Equal
ity, in the West, ]. W; P R. Harri-
son, of the same lodge, in the South,
while brothers w. A. Gard and Phil
H. Sayles acted as Senior and Junior
Deacons, W. NJ Manning Lemen, of
Mt. Nebo, having requested W. NJ.
Trammell to confer the degree. The
work was well done according to the
ancient customs of Masonry. After
the lecture was delivered to the can
didate, in response to the question of
the W. NJ. whether anyone had any
thing to offer for the good of Masonry, "
Capt. D. w. Shafer was called for
and he made an address in which the
duties and beauties of Masonry were
depicted in a very eloquent manner.
Capt. Shaffer was followed by several
other brothers in short and appropri-
ate encomiums upon the order, and
the proceedings concluded with the
singing, in fine style, of "Auld Lang
Syne" by brother Aud, of Mt. Nebo.
The craft was then called from labor
to refreshment, in the dining room of
the Trussell House, where a bountiful
repast was spread, and none went
away dissatisfied" Our brothers of
Shepherdstown received us most cor
daily, and treated us with unbounded
hospitality. 1t was most enjoyable
visit and all brought away the most
pleasant recollections of the trip and
their reception.

Newspaper Subscription Laws.

Few readers of papers fully and
clearly understand the laws governing
subscriptions. The decisions of the
United States courts on this subject
are:
|. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scrlptions.
2. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the
postofice to which they are directed,
they are responsible until they have
settled their bills and ordered them
discontinued.
8. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, they are held responsible.
4. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish
to continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it,
and the subscriber will be responsible
until an express notice, with payment
of all arrearages, is sent to the pub
Usher
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription
to run along for some time unpaid,
and then orders it discontinued, or
orders the postmaster to mark 1t
refused" and have postal card
sent notifying the publisher, leaves
himself liable TO arrest and fine, the
same as for theft.
