Rain prevented the completion yesterday
| afternoon Of the championship tennis game be-
tween Mr.. McCawley and Mr.. Wright Two
sets had been played and three games in the
third set, when the rain fell so heavily that the
play was stopped. 1t was disappointment to
the small group Of tennis enthusiasts who wit
messed the contest that the play could not 20
on, as the exhibition Of expert tennis was one
of the best that has been witnessed here for
| some time. 1t is true that Mr.. McCawley did
not keep quite up to his usual standard of ex-
celence. He was lacking in accuracy.
Many Of his strokes counted points
against him. as they sent the ball either beyond
the lines or in the net. His opponent, Mr..
Wright, played surer game, and in this par
ticuar, which Is an important one, lay the diff
ference between the game OF the two men.
Mr.. Wrights swift strokes to the left-hand cor
ner Of his opponents court and his quckness
in taking advantage Of an ung1arded place in
the court were the noticeable features of his
game Mr. McCawley played a similar game,
but his strokes failed to land the ball with ac-
curacy. There were pretty volleys in the
course of the game and Mr.. Wright used the
lobe with brilliant effect The service of the
two men was excellent. and while Mr.. Wright
sustained the reputation which he has ac-
quired in the leading tennis tournaments of
the country, yet Mr.. McCawiey showed that he

Law and Poetry.

At the New York centennial celebra-
ton of the founding Of the United States
supreme court a distinguished doctor of
laws made speech on the ''Origin of the
Supreme Court of the United States and
Its Place in the Constitution. The
speech was a learned and eloquent one
The gentleman who delivered the
grafton was as legal of aspect as one of
his own leather bound volumes. His
dome of thought was smooth as bill
lard ball, and the lower part of his face
was hidden by bushy gray whiskers.
He was keen of eye and sharp of nose.
He was William Allen Butler, belonging
to New York law firm whose earnings
foot up 81 10000 year.
There is nothing so very remarkable in
that, except the large law fees. No.
But this William Allen Butler was the
most famous man in America for a
while, when the present middle aged
generation was young. For he it was
who wrote the world famous poem,
Nothing to Wear" detailing the sad
plight of Miss Flora McFlimsey, of Madi-
son square. All the world knew the
verses by heart in those days, and it was
expected Mr.. Butler would become a
great American poet. But he never did.
He wisely dropped, not into poetry like
Mr.. Wegg, but out of it, and became a
partner in a law firm that nets million

The Afro-Americans.

Perry Carson, who called the Afro
American convention to order in Wash
ington, is q noted character and the most
influential colored man in the city. He
keeps a lodging house and restaurant,
and in city where there was any voting
Perry Carson would carry the colored
ballot in his pocket. In his opening
speech he alluded, as though he believed
in it, to the remarkable progress the col
ored people had made under the most
discouraging circumstances. He told
his brethren that they must stand to.
gether as one man, lay aside all personal
ambitions and work faithfully for the
uplifting of their people.
Things worth having were worth
struggling for, he said, which was a
great truth tersely put. The first thing
they should struggle for was an educa,
ton. They ought to work for the Blair
educational bill so that the south could
have more than one months school in
the year. The next thing to struggle fo1
was the right to vote and an honest elec.
ton.
The secretary of the Afro-American
league is T. Thomas Fortune, thor.
oughly able colored man. One object OF
the league will be to bind the colored
voters fast together i'm states where ne.
gro suffrage is allowed, and cast the vote
as one mans for the party that will help
the negro most. In states like Ohio and
Indiana the negro might hold the bal.
ance of power in closely contested elec.
tiOns.
Morris tribune., 1890-02-19

The practical joker who put torpedo
into a cuspidor in the rotunda of the
Capitol at Washington might have been
pardoned if it had exploded and blown
all the spittoons in the rotunda into dust.
The magnificent marble rotunda, with
its glorious dome, is one of the most i'm
posing halls anywhere on the globe
The visitor raises his eyes to the top with
a feeling not far removed from awe.
Then he casts them reverentially down
to the beautiful floor to think over it
moment in silence. What does he see?
The perfect outer circle is dotted with
Americas national emblem-the spit
toon-the marble walls and floors sur
rounding the articles giving evidence
that they are used continually. Wher-
ever the American flag goes, with it
marches the cuspidor.
Morris tribune., 1890-02-19

Here is one way to waste time in a
parliamentary manner: Move to adj
iourn. Then demand call of the yeas
and nays on that motion. If it is lost,
move to adjourn to fixed time. Call
for the yeas and nays again. That takes
considerable time once more. If that mo-
ton is also lost, you can then make the
plea that "other business has intervened
since your other motion to adjourn, and
make another move for adjournment,
with another call for the yeas and nays.
This can be repeated, as, in the old Ara
bian story, 'and another crow brought
another grain of corn, and another crow
brought another grain of corn," and SC
on all day and night.
Morris tribune., 1890-02-19

Sir Henry Ackland, NJ. D., has come
to conclusion that is not reassuring. It
is that the great cities of ancient times
Nineveh, for instance-went to decay
and ceased to be inhabited because the
soil on which they were built became SO
permeated with filth that it bred plague
and pestilence, and people could no longer
dwell therein. It is fact that there
were great cities of the ancient time that
for some unknown reason ceased at length
to be inhabited, and all their beauty and
glory perished. Will the great cities of
modern times, London, Paris, New York.
Chicago, share the same fate? Will they
continue to grow for some centuries yet,
and then plague suddenly arise that
shall sweep away their population and
leave them empty? Sewer gas and bad
sanitation will in time get the better of
the strongest and wisest race on the
globe.
Morris tribune., 1890-02-19
Pan-American Temperance.

Are we competent to teach the Pan
Americans manners and temperance?
Not much, says S. E. H. in The Wash
ington Post. S. E. Fl. discusses the
anxiety of some good people of the
United States about our South American
visitors, and the general desire to show
them correct manners and morals. The
writer lived in the Argentine Republic a
number of years, associated with the
South Americans freely, and dined with
them often. Wine was on every table,
rich and poor. The writer knew all
classes of South Americans, from laun-
dresses to statesmen, and never saw a
native intoxicated. In city of 10000
inhabitants there were only two habitual
drunkards. One of these was an English
physician, the other an American sci
enlist.
Spanish-American ladies might well
give instruction to their North American
sisters in the matter of high bred man
ners and gracious and dignifed courtesy,
we are told. Parents treat their children
with politeness, and children honor their
parents universally.
Finally the writer says:
For temperance in eating and drinking, and the
beautiful manners that are deemed the flower of
civilization the Pan-Americans have equals
on this hemisphere, and the japanese are their
only rivals in the world
