THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Washington and Baltimore Divide the
Honors Evenly.


Honors Evenly.
The past week has been one of great impor-
tance to the tennis men. The contests which
began in Baltimore last Tuesday and concluded
on Thursday were of most interesting charac-
ter. The showing made by our local players
clearly proves that we have excellent material
here, material which in another year will be
on par with that in our sister city. At no
previous tournament have our players carried
off so many prizes, nor have the Washington
men maintained prestige equal to that held
this year. In the singles Mr.. McCawley took
first prize and Mr.. Woodward second. In the
doubles these two players will undoubtedly de-
feat j. NJ. Borden and Wooten for second prize.
This match will be played off during the COM
ing week. Baltimore took the first double and
the consolation prize. The latter Davidson GER
tanly should have won, but he lost nerve after
carrying both sets to 5-3 and Steele took the
match. Mr.. Post secured the championship, as
was expected. There is no one in Washington,
in fact this side of New York, who can ap-
proach his game. He is born tennis player,
and is besides graceful and finished one. Mr..
Woodward disappointed his admirers in losing
to Mr. McCawley so early in the contest but
partially redeemed his failure by capturing
second place. The match between Spofford
and I. z. Borden was very close one, result
ing in the latters favor after an hour and
thirty minutes continuous play, by score Of
6-3, 6-S, 6-4. j. NJ. Borden surprised the Wash
ington men by securing place in the finals,
yielding, however, to McCawley. 1t is only
proper to add that the days of the tournament
were intensely hot, and that our players were
heavily handicapped by the turf courts, to
which they are unaccustomed. So intense
was the heat that some of the Washington men
defaulted. The Baltimore men showed their
visitors every attention, and were most cordial
in their hospitality Among the visitors from
a distance was Mr.. II. \. Ditson, of Boston, an
pIth on ,ic vIn sntI hat fhn WaGh
ington players had each improved their game
by at least half-fifteen since last year. 1t is
gratifying to note the return to Washington of
Mr.. John Pope, who held the Cranberry plaque
in 1888. Mr.. Pope is one of our best players,
and as soon as he gets into trim will give us
tennis ''as she is played"

JUMPED INTO THE RIVER.
Mr. James "A. Charlton Attempts to End
His Woes by Suicide.

"
Mr. James A. Charlton, of South Washing
ton, is we'll known about this city. By occupa-
ton he is bookkeeper, and has filed important
positions in many business houses. He was
looked upon as a reliable young man up to
about two years ago, when he commenced to
imbibe too freely from the flowing bowl, caus-
ing him to lose his positions. His habits caused
many unpleasant scenes at home For the past
month he has been going it pretty lively.
Yesterday he went home in his usual state, and
his sister. Mrs. Harrison, demonstrated with him
on his bad conduct. The lecture was of no avail,
and he proceeded TO give his sister a pretty
stiff tonguelashing, ending up by leaving the
house in high dudgeon. As be went out the
door he yelled back, You'll never see me
again; goodbye. AS this had been said often
The next seen of Mr.. Charlton was about $50
o'clock, on the wharf of the Inland and Sea-
board Coasting Company, where his dejecte d
state attracted the attention of the passengers
of the steamer Lady of the Lake, then filling up
for the usual trip to Norfolk. His movements
were watched and just before the boat was to
pull out he was seen TO hastily dotf his coat and
hat and plunge headlong into the river. An
alarm was at once given and an attempt made
to rescue the man, life preservers and boards
being thrown to him from the steamer. All
these he refused, but luckily the police boat
Joe Blackburn, under command of Harbor
| Master Sutton, came along and pulled the m an
! out. Mr. Sutton did not get much thanks from
| the would-be suicide, as he remarked "Iou
think you are id smart, but you amt by 9

THE CLERICAL FUNDS BILL.

Rejected in the Lower House of the Prus-
sian Diet.
BERLIN, June THE lower house of the
Prussian Diet to-day rejected the clerical funds
bill Minister Won Gossler sought to weaken
the Centrist opposition by declaring that DR..
Windthorst was inaccurate in asserting that
the Catholic bishops disapproved of the
measure. On the contrary the Minister
said, the Pope had informed the Govern
ment through the same clerical channels that
were chosen in the negotiations for the abroga-
ton of the May laws that the Church approved
of the bill. This statement did not affect the
issue, the Centrists voting solidly and num-
Der of Conservatives and National Liberals
joining them in rejecting the measure.

Mrs. Matte W. Parrady was arrested yester-
day by Officer Heller on the charge of petit lar
ceny brought by Mr., Frank P. Gross, of 1927
Q street. who is employed as an adjuster in the

owned a valuable Yorkshire dog, which he
valued at $50, and lately it was stolen from
him. He saw Mrs. Parrady with it and claimed
it as his property, but she refused to surrender
it, saying it was hers, having been given her
by a friend. Collateral was left, and the case
will be ventilated in the Police Court on Mon
day.
