TENNIS AT FARVIEW.
The CnrbOndalc Tennis Club Hold Their
Club Tournament.

Saturday afternoon the annual tour
nament of the Carbondale Tennis cluo
was held at Farview, and it proved one
of the most successful yet held. The
day was perfect, the cooling hretze
which blew across the court making
pleasant what otherwise would nave
been uncomfortable weather. The courts
were in the best of condition, having
been rolled and cleared of any obstacle
until they We're as smooth as asphalt.
The club left for the grounds on the
1.25 train. a number of persons accom-
panying them and making the number
who witnessed the sport quite large.
The games opened with match be-
tween Rutherford and Abbott. on ac-
count of the shortness of the time nut
one set was played in the preliminary
round. Abbott won the set. the score
being to 4. At the same time. on the
other court. Albert Crane and 5. Ret

teresting set. the score being 3 Ia !.
This left all the preliminaries played
with Abbott and Crane 20 play the
finals. They We're evidently about
evenly matched and an exciting game
expected. Three sets We're played.
Crane started out in great form,
winning four straight games. Abbott
then took 4 brace and won five success
sive games. making the score 10 !.
Crane won the next game, the score
standing > to 3. making two successive
games necessary Ia take the set. After
Several deuces Abbott took the games
and the set.
The next set was easily taken by
Crane the score being 6 to |. Then
came the final set which was to decide
who should take the prize. Both con-
testants played hard. making many
brilliant points Abbott finally won,
and the tournament was over.
The finals would have been more ex-
citing If they had been left for another
day, as the players We're both tired from
their previous eNertions. As ii was. the
handica Os were so arranged that the
poorest player had good chance of
winning. The committee in charge of
this showed excellent Judgment.
The tournament was very successful
from all points. and will add much TO
the interest of the game in this city.

Novels Arc Growing shorter.

1t would bo interesting to know how far
tho new plan Of issuing novels at first in
single volumes has answered. If we take
certain we'll bruited and exceptional
books, the sales Of which have been as
periodically and punctually notified as the
railway traffic returns, 1t has answered
very we'll indeed But If we make indie
pendent inquiry of readers and critics we
shall probably find not merely current Of
grumbling-there is always that at any
change-but rather substantial agree
ment on one point, and this is that the
one volume novel, issued as such, must
not be quite SO long as the longest of tho
old three deckers. Critics complain that
it Is too fatigVing and readers that 1t Is
too solid.
That there Is some sense in this may be
seen from tho fact, not often noticed, that
as novels have gradually lessened the mum.
ber of their volumes novelists have always
been obliged to make them shorter in real
ity and not to avail themselves of typo
graphical and other artiflces to keep up
the bulk of matter while reducing the
number of volumes. Mile. de Scudery
and her long winded fellows indulged in
tnelr ~, Unelr IL, III al ietst ono Instance
their "a volumes; from Richardson to
Holcroft was favorite number; Nine
d'Arblay had weakness for 8; 4, as is
well known, was not unknown in either
Scott's time or little later; then had
an unexampled tenure Of popularity, but
was always an exception, though prct-
ty frequent exception, and 1t does not seem
likely that 1t will have any independent
reign. And really novelists must not cut
down the volumes and keep up the words
at the same time.-London World.

wyoming.s Senatorial Twins.

The new senatorial pair from Wyo-
ming have already been christened "The
Heavenly Twins, not that Messrs. War
rem and Clarke are expected to furnish
explosive denouements on the Angelica
Diavolo order, but because Of their good
looks and other personal attributes.
Warren, who is returning senator
after brief rest, was one Of the tallest
and largest men in the upper house
when here before, and always was point
ed out by strangers as handsome man
whom they wanted to know about at
once.
Clarke, who has already put in an ap-
pearance, bids fair to prove good in
vestment for the photographers. Already
there is the usual demand for his picture
that determines the handsomest men in
congress.
He is so good looking that in his own
state he is often called the Apollo Of
Wyoming. This will be the handsom.

The wonderful southern Gross"

The most freakish freak ever assumed
by pearls is exhibited in that extraordi-
nary curiosity known to the gem fanciers
as the Southern Cross" Taken as a
whole 1t is q group of nine pearls grown
together in such manner as to form a
perfect Latin cross. Seven Of the nine go
to form the upright Of the cross or main
shaft, which is exactly IN inches in
length. The arms of the cross, which, 1t
must be admitted, arc hardly long enough
to give the figure good proportions, are
each formed by one pearl SO arranged on
either side that the addition Of the tonth
Of an inch to each would give elegant and
perfect symmetry to the outline of the
whole figure There Is not an Ill shaped or
off colored pearl in the group, and, taken
as whole, 1t Is not only remarkable
freak Of nature, but 1t Is also valuable
collection of gems Of goodly size and fine
luster.
This wonderful freak was discovered
several years ago in the pearl fishing
grounds of Western Australia by a man
named Clark. He is said to have been q
very superstitious man and to have regard
ed the symbol exhibited In his find as an
i'll omen. On this account he dug q hole
and, after carefully wrapping the oddity in
several folds Of silk, buried 1t. About 81
years ago, In 1874, the gem was inferred,
and since that time has changed hands
several times. The last time 1t sold for a
sum equal to $52, ,000.-St. Louis Republic.
