The prevailing impression outside the H'''e !,

a CURIOSITY OF POLITICS.

The refusal Of Mr.. II. ID. Flood to accept
certificate Of election TO Congress from the Nth
District of Virginia Is singular and interesting
incident in politics. Mr.. Flood was the Demo
cratic candidate at the recent election, ana MI.
]. Yost was his Republican opponent. The iat-
ter's name was variously printed on the ballots,
and the Election Board. having considered the
facts and the law. determined that, though on
the face Of the returns he had majority OF
147. the certificate should be awarded to Mr..
Flood jnasmuch as the exclusion of ballots on
which Mr.. Yosts name was enormously printed
left him without plurality. Mr.. Flood asserts
incidentally his belief that he himself received
a majority of the votes legally cast in the dis
trict. eScn assuming that the misprinted ballots
should be counted for his opponent; but In de-
Gliding the question which the formal awarding
of the certificate to him raises he Ignores his
unestabljshcd charges of fraud, and declines to
accept an election on technicality
Various complications may result from this de-
c;s,on tho most probable consequence perhaps
being that the seat will be given to Mr. YOst by
the House after an investigation. Mr.. Flood Will
almost certainly not oppose that course. FOR he
expresses the wish that the Election Board could
legally give Mr.. YOst the certificate. Whether
his supporters at the recent election share his
sentiments or would prefer to incur the trouble
and expense of a special election has not been
clearly Indicated The situation Is peculiar, and
involves some curious questions OF ethics Mr.
Flood thinks that the Board was legally bound
to award the certificate to him, and he must
think, consequently, that he would have been
legally warranted In accepting it. Moreover. 1t
Ia probable that he has considered whether he
might not fairly offset his belief that he was the
victim Of deliberate fraud against his disinclina-
tion to be the beneficiary Of an accident in the
printing Of the ballots. But his conclusion Is
that he cannot accept a reversal OF a prma-facie
majority on a mere technicality. In his mind
1t 10 apparently not so much question OF morals
M of gentlemanly conduct: though in fact moral
conduct and gentlemanly conduct are essentially
the same He realizes, to put the case in another
way. that he would be uncomfortable II he took
the seat from the candidate 10 whom 1t would
have been given except for mishap. and not
wishing to be uncomfortable. he declines 1t.
There may be other elements In the case with
which we are not familiar. but the first infer
cnce Is that Mr. Flood chooses to behave 10 an
affair of politics as he would behave In prl-
yate matter In business transaction with a
neIghbor he would not accept an advantage
arising out Of some accidental departure from
the stipulations, and he will not do so where
seat in Congress 10 at stake We do not say that
man Of honor could not have taken an oppo
site course, but we venture to congratulate Mr.

A Pretty Wedding in the Country.

Mt. Wesley NJ. E. Church at Sny-
der's Mills was the scene last evening
at 6 o'clock of an unusually pretty
wedding, when Nj Harry Whiting
and Miss Irene S. Miller, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Miller, were
united in matrimOny. A large num-
Der of friends and relatives of the hap
Ply young couple witnessed the ceremo-
ny, which was performed by Rev. W.
Mex. Hammack, pastor of the church.
As Prof D. Gold Miller skillfully
played the wedding march the bridal
party entered the church in the fol-
lowing order: The ushers, Messrs.
James William Marshall and Charles
Billmyer; Mr.. Archie Billmyer and
Miss Lee Miller and Mr. Charles Whit
ing and Miss Salhe Graham the little
flower girl, Miss Bessie Folk; the fair
bride and the handsome groom came
last, and, standing under floral bell
suspended from an evergreen arch,
were made man and wife in accordance
with the form of the church. The
bride and her bridesmaids were pref
tily dressed in white organdie, and
they all looked charming. The we'd
ding was, in every respect, beautiful
and impressive ceremony. A recep-
ton was held later at the home of the
brides parents, where large number
of persons rendered their congratula-
tions and enjoyed bountiful hospital
ity. We tender them our best wishes
for their future happiness.

Literary Entertainment.

The Parthenian and Ciceronian lit
erary societies of Shepherd College
gave a most creditable entertainment
in the college hall last night. 1t was
a contest for literary honors between
the two societies which had put the
members of each on their mettle and
for which earnest preparation had been
made The first contest was two reel
tations by Miss Margaret Welshans and
Miss Lalla Reynolds. Both were Of
the highest excellence, but after
lengthy consideration the judges de-
cided in favor of Miss Welshans. An
grafton by W. Gregory Narten on
The Higher Citizenship, and one by
A. W. Porterfeld on What is Our
Palladium, were carefully prepared
and well delivered efforts that merlted
the applause they received. Mr., Mar
ten received first honors, but Mr.. Por-
terfeld deserved high praise also. An
grafton on Lafayette, by George Hill,
was pitted against recitation by Miss
jamie Strider, and the former won. 1t
was an excellent address and delivered
effectively. Miss Strider's rendition
of "Nydia, the Blind Girl Of Pompeii,
was such as to reflect the highest credit
upon the fair reciter.
The Judges were Rev. c. H. Hockey
and Messrs. J. S. Bragonier and d. l..
Snyder. Their decision gave the VIC
tory to the Parthenians, who were, Of
course, highly delighted at the success
of their contestants. Enjoyable vocal
music was rendered by the school, Miss
Nellie Butler playing with much abili-
ty the piano and Miss Maud Gatrell
and Mr.. Leroy Hendricks accompany
ing on the violin. The entertainment
was in every respect an enjoyable one
and showed considerable progress in
elocution and literary ability among
It's participants.

Mayor Fleming Resigns.

At special meeting Of the town
council on Monday night Mayor j. S.
Fleming rendered his resignation as
mayor of ShepherdstOwn, and the cOun-
ell accepted the resignation. Mr..
Jennings reason for resigning was
that, although the council had ordered
the law against shooting frecrackers,
ETC., to be enforced during the holidays,
at the same time couple of members
of the council sold these articles. He
didn't exactly feel like taking upon
himself the opprobrium Of enforcing
law the means for violating which were
furnished by members Of the council.
Recorder Vim. 4. Chapline will act as
mayor until new official is appointed.
We think the state of affairs in our
town demands serious considerations
The drunkenness and disorderly con-
duet that has been allowed upon our
streets ought to be stopped, and the
only way to stop it is by stern en-
forcement of the laws. Our town
ought to pay salary to mayor which
would Justify him in giving attention
to the duties of the Office and be a rec
ompense for the unpleasant features
connected with it. If the mayor is
paid decent salary he can then be
held accountable and we have no doubt
there would be far less disorder upon
our streets. Prompt action ought to
be taken by our people in this matter.

A Word TO the Wise.

We would advise our farmer friends
to reflect little before they have their
sale bills printed the coming season.
Do not be cajoled into having your
advertising done where it will do you
little good, simply because it is offered
to you cheap. If you have it done for
so cents or a dollar, you can be sure
you get no more than your money s
worth. We know it is annoying to be
importuned and bored half to death
for the Job, and we know some give
the work where they do not wish it
simply to get rid of those who bore
them. They have been sorry for it
afterward when they have found the
returns did not foot up much. The
REGISTER will do the work at fair and
reasonable prices. 1t Will not charge
one man 90 cents, another dollar and
someone else all it can get out of him
all for the same work. The REGIS
TER has circulation among the solid,
substantial people, the people among
whom it pays to advertise, and fair
treatment is assured all who deal with
it.
Don't be tempted with low prices,
or no prices at all. Either you will
get no more than you pay for, or else
you ,ciH pay rey dear for it in some
other 1cay.
