THE SOCIETY CONTEST
Results in Decided Victory for the Par
thenos.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Morgantown, w. Va, June 1O.-The
Inter society contest last night proved
one of the most interesting arguments
which the two University organizations
have yet had, and very few in the
,throng which packed commencement
hall were not partisans. The result
was a splendid victory for the Parthe-
mons and the members of that society
are correspondingly jubliant. Last
night they paraded the streets and
awoke the echoes with their cheers.
The judges were Hon. G. Wesley At
kinson. of Wheeling. Rev. II. c. Bird,
of Uniontown, and Rev. l.. +. Peters,
of Parkersburg. Their decisions gave
general satisfaction. George L. Bam-
brick. representative of the ParthenoT
society, won the debate, and Chauncey
Dewitt Wiley, another Parthenon, took
the defamation. The $40 prize for es-
say was divided between representa-
tives of the two societies. Hunter II.
Moss. Jr.. who won the grafton, was
the only Columbian to gain clear vic
tory. The announcements were made
by Mr.. Atkinson, and were received
with cheers.

Special TO the Register.
Sistersville. w. Va, June 10.-"Cy'
Young, the world renowned pitcher of
the National League team of Cleveland,
o., has won the affections of one o.
Sistersville's most prominent citizens.
1t happened in this way: Mr.. G. B.
Slemaker. accompanied by DR.. G. B.
West. left here week before last for
Philadelphia. where Mr.. Slemaker was
to be treated for heart trouble. On
their way home they visited New York
and put IN at the Broadway Contra.
Hotel While sitting in the rotunda OF
the hotel Mr.. Slemaker took out his
purse to look al some papers, and, for
getting himself got up and left The
purse in the chair. The Cleveland base
ball club was stopping there and Mr..
Young. in passing through, saw the
purse and put it in his pocket on his
way to the ball grounds. After re-
turning TO the hotel he made inquiries
and failed TO learn anything. From
marks in the purse Mr.. Young wrote
Mr.. Mccoy. our postmaster, who gave
him a full account of the accident, This
morning Mr.. SIemaker received the con-
tents of the purse, 500, by express, and
the purse by mail.
To say that Mr.. Slemaker was sur
prised would be unnecessary, as a case
of this kind would not occur again in
a thousand years.
Mr.. Young is very modest, and re-
fused a reward. Mr. Young has been
invited TO be the guest Of Mr.. Slemaker
during the coming winter, when they
will take a trip TO the mountains for a
two weeks hunt.

The Judge Was No Fool.

There are still judges in the world who
are almost as wise as King Solomon and
veritable daniels come to judgment"
Such an one presides over local court in
the Isle of Scio. An action for damages was
brought against local railway company
arising out of a serious collision. A man
had lost an arm in the affair, and a young
married woman had been made a widow.
For the loss of the arm the judge awarded
5000 piasters, and only 1000 for the loss
of the husband. At this there were loud
murmurs, whereupon the judge justified
himself in the following terms: My dear
people, my verdict must remain, for you will
see it is a just one. Poor Nikola has lost
his arm, and nothing on earth can restore
hat priceless limb. But you" turning to
the woman, you are still young and pretty.
You have now some money; you will easily
find another husband, who possibly may be
as good, perhaps better, than your dead
lord" The people cheered and cOngratu-
ated each other on having such judge
