HOLDS THE CUP.
Whitman Defeated Paret for the
Tennis Championship.
Court at the Newport Casino In Fine Con-
ditIon for The Match.

The last match in the great national
lawn tennis tournaments started on the
Casino courts at Newport. There is no
doubt that the New York expert j.
Parmy Paret, has made many friends
by his wonderful showing against
Dwight +. Davis in the final round Of
the all-comers yesterday. The cham
plonshp court was put in fine condi-
tfon in spite of the rain last night. The
heavy steam roller went over the
ground all through the early morning
hours and squeezed every drop of wa
ter from Ii until IL was as hard as a
rock. There is no doubt but that Mall
colin ID. Whitman will defend his title
as national champion and the challenge
cup in his usual brilliapt style.
Paret, when the game started was
outplayed at every point by the Ma
tional Champion Malcolm d. Whitman
in the defense of his challenge cup and
title. Whitman was most accurate and
steady and by his wonderful passes
pulled otrt the first set at 81. In the
second set Paret steadied himself but
il was evident that he was outcfassed
and the second set also fell to the
champion. Whitman at 6-l
Paret led In the third set up to 90
and played brilliantly. At this point
whitman was successful in pulling out
three games by close margins although
Paret was several times within one
stroke of the set. The New Yorker A.
nalIy won at 6-3.

BETRAYED HER LOVER.

The Old Man Shot Watson as He Was
Keeping the TNst Agreed On.

Greenville. S. c.. Aug. 22.-Lsm Wat
son. a young farmer who had been at
tentive To the B-year-old daughter of
George Sloan, neighbor. says that be-
fore leaving the house one night recent
~ he was invited by her TO return af-
ter the family retired, signal being
agreed upon to let him know when the
coast was clear. Then the girl so he al
leges. Uniformed her father OF her ap-
pointment. and the old man got his
shotgun and lay i'm wait in the hallway
outside his daughters door. In due time
he declares. the prearranged signal was
given and Watson appeared at the Win
dow. He was astride the sill when
Sloan fired, the charge entering his
breast. He made his way home and the
doctors pronounced his injuries fatal.
A magistrate took his deposition which
embraced the facts above related. rD
the surprise of the physicians, he inn
proved and Is now on the road TO re-
covery. The girl explained her conduct
by saying that she was Jealous of her
lovers attention TO another woman.
Yesterday the members of the Mount
Lebanon Baptist church. where Sloan
is a deacon. held a meeting and after
discussing the shooting adopted resolu-
tons commencing his act. They declare
that on account Of his desire 20 avoid
the shedding OF human blood. Brother
Sloan endured the imposition OF the
shameless fellow much longer than he
ought TO have done and that had his
shot proved fatal. more good would
have been done for the cause Of Justice
and the good order Of society in this
neighborhood than has been done by
the courts i'm several years"

and daughter.
