DIFFERENT FROM WHITMAN.
Fast Tennis of New Jersey Man and
 Hot Sun Too Much for Doherty.

Newport, R. l.. Aug. 27.-For the third time in eight years. English aspirations tor the highest tennis honors in singles have been defeated when they seemed CTS. for today William A. Larned of Sum. init, N. J., successfully defended his title as champion by defeating Reginald F. Doherty of England, three sets to one The scores were 4-6 6-2, 6-4, S-6.
 It was a grand game on both sides, but It sapped the vitality of each player un- til it became question of endurance, and the American proved to be in better condition.
 A scorching sun was no insignificant factor in the result, and at the end Do- herty, unused to such hot rays. almost collapsed. It was generally acknowl- edged that had the day been cool, like these of last week the battle would have been fought longer. harder and perhaps with difficult result. Larned, however, played the game of his life, for Doherty is undoubtedly the strongest player who ever came to America.
 The defeat of the Englishman was not only surprise buta bitter disappoint- ment to the Doherty brothers. The team 5ust missed capturing the Davis trophy and now to be robbed of the American championship when 1t seemed almost theirs, acceutated their disappointment.
 But If the result was disappointing to the English. it set nearly 4,000 layol Americans who watched every stroke almost frantic with joy and the demon stratIon which followed the last play when Doherty sent the ball into the net, will live for many years in the annals of the sport.
 The Englishman was outplayed prob- ably for the first time in his life at every point. Larned was stronger at the net covered court far better, proved a sterling base line player, and when the strain came in the third and fourth sets. showed himself to be in magnificent condition.

A NEW SOUTHERN NOVEL

| The authors descriptive faculty, its
/ fineness, its delicacy and the subdued but
/ real strength behind it, are shown in a
/ little dialogue between the heroine and
/ one of the natives OF Tal!awara, who has
/ lived elsewhere long enough partly to ap-
preciate her attitude and feelings:
"a thin silvery halo gathered about the
sun bringing that sad suggestion of au-
tumn which seems TO dwell forever in the
winters of the South. Helen leaned back
and watched the landscape that spread
before them in a succession of tumbling
hillocks, rough as if some gigantic sleeper
had tossed through ages of unrest below
the tangled. brindled grass.

LITERARY NOTES.
The Mysterious Filipino.

The Filipino is not a pure Malay: he is
so heterogeneous as to defy classification.
Colquhoun in his new book on The Mas
terry Of the Pacific" says that the prin-
cipal elements in the mixture are SPANISH
and Chinese. The Chinese half-breeds
are the most brainy and puzzling mem-
bers of the population, and form a large
proportion Of the insurgents. The Chin
csc character is so involved" says Mr..
Colquhoun, land so impossible to gen.
eraiize. that it is difficult to suggest the
possible notifications il would make in
the Malay; but when we remember inc
strong conservatism of the Chinese. and
their intense superstition, we cannot be
surprised at the prominence of these two
qualities in their Filipino descendants
Some of the traditions current in the
Philippines, for instance the idea that
mines could not be opened without the
applications to the veins of an unguent
composed of old women's eyes. and a re-
port, as late as $780, that children were
to be seized, that their blood might water
the gold and silver mines of Spain-these
are Enthusiastically Chinese"

I think, the Southerner can never con-

The upshot of the whole argument
seems to be that in spite of all that has
been said about harmony, Il common pa
triotism and Il common tradition of the
Republic, the people of the North and
South are still divided on certain impor-
tant social and political questions and
that the NOrtherner living in the South
especially in its smaller towns feels as

II aimed for Mrs. Wright to present the
her side of the shield and write OF
Southern life from the strangers point of
view. as many Southerners have pictured
the North from the same viewpoint. Yet
here and there she hints that this di-
vision is largely a matter of misleading
traditions. She makes a Southern girl
say that while she hates the North she
has never met the Northerner that she
did not like. and this same young girl is
unaffectedly charming, as attractive as
she could be if she had come from the
brain of Mir. Thomas Nelson Page or Mr..
Joel Chandler Harris. Take it however
you may, the book Is an interesting, orig
inal and thoughtful study of social con-
ditions. New York: Charles Scribner's

SOME PSEUDO-FICTION.

1.-THE Leepard's Spots" by Thomas
Dixon, jr., has been heralded as a new
Southern novel Readers will be surprised
and may be disappointed to discover that
It is nothing of the kind. 1t is political
pamphlet of the Red Shirt order.
TIE object of the writer is so plainly
shown that It is hardly necessary to treat
the book as a work of fiction at all. andl
indeed, if il were not for the political
coloring, it would hardly be worth MOTTO
ing, for the Misunderstanding is of small
value, and the plot of less. The author
has seen fit to introduce into the story
the alleged figure of Simon Legree, and
also that of son of George Harris, ap-
parently because he wanted his book to
be considered an answer to Uncle Toms
Cabin" There is no comparison between
the two stories, for the very good reason
that there is considerable human nature
Though not very much conventional novel,
in the work of Mrs. Stowe, and in Mr.
Dixon's there is nothing but lot of lay
figures representing supposititious types.
He makes his alleged Southern gentle
men quarrel like jackals and use the
language of Billingsgate fshwives-and
one Of them is a preacher. This is his
way Of proving the superiority of the
Anglo-Saxon race.
He omits one very natural addition
which might strengthen his book materi-
ally, and which was 10 be found in both
Mrs. Stoves and Tourgee's books-the in
sertion of signed afidavits to support all
his accusations.
The main point in his book, which is re-
iterated again and again. is that political
equality means social equality, which
means. necessarily. intermarriage. This,
again, is a fallacy. There is no power on
earth that can make social equals out Of
people who are not equal. The political
experience of the North proves this. In
cities where the foreign population com
prIses one-hak or even twO-thirds Of the |
The Washington times., 1902-03-23

! whole, as ii does in some of the rn.nufac.
! turing towns Of New England. where all
solute political equality prevails. whore
the children are educated in the same
schools, there is practically no intermar-
rage, especially where difference of re
HSlon or of occupation keeps the peonIo
from having like associations. It is bJ-
man nature to mix with ones equals. and
not with these who will misunderstood
and condemn. The educated negro is
above all clannish. Mr.. Dixon himself
admits in one place that with the educa-
ton OF the Southern negro the separation
OF the races has become more and more
complete. He says on one page that the
negro, however educated, can never be the
white mans equal, and on another page
declares that with political equality he
must be the white mans equal He saws
In one place that there is natural bar
rier between the races, and then AYERS
that all kinds of social and moral bar
riers Will not keep them apart if the negro
is allowed to vote. 1t is just as we'll 10
make an argument that will hang to-
gether, even If one is in earnest.
Along with his Red Shirt ideas, Mr.
Dixon seems TO have soaked in some an
archy, for he uses in one place a lot of
infammatory literature about the cnslave-
ment of the Northern workingmen and
the degradation of working women, most
of which is, TO put it plainly. bosh
The long and short of it. is that Mr..
Dixon's mind is of that type which is un-
able to see anything in the abstract, and
yet is forever trying to. He is intensely
personal, and sees all conditions in the
light of his own violent feeling If the
South were In the hands of his sort of
man, there would be small reason 10 be-
lieve it peopled by the cool, calm, long
headed Anglo-Saxon race. The advances
which 1t has made prove that there are
some other types of men to be found
there besides his. New York: Double
