Surprises Gallery.
Wilson surprised not only NewelIs sup
/ porters but also his own personal friends
! by the manner in which he played the
game In winning his championship and
the trophies. He was out to win that cham
pionship' and never before had the lanky
| 'Y" athlete played such a brilliant smash
ing game on the tennis courts. Newell
has always defeated Wilson in practice
matches on the association courts and ex-
pected victory Saturday, although he
knew that his opponent was playing the
game better in this tournament than he
ever had formerly.
Wilson's game was varied both in the
attack and defense plan He played the
net and back in the court equally we'll
although his great height gave him an
advantage over his smaller opponent when
in net play. His long arms reached with
ease to cover both sides from the SPOT
in which Re stood. High lobs he easily
returned and killed many a one with
deadly accuracy for the far corners OF the
court.
The first set Newell bid fair to win his
cutting stroke proving hard of solution for
| wilson, but the champion pulled out by a
| narrow margin in ga The second set
Newell was even closer on the heels of
the other man and a deuce set resulted,
! Wilson proving himself the better man in
pinch and winning by rs.
The real battle of the match came in the
last set which Wilson finally won in So.
Both men were on their mettle and played
cautiously, Newell placing the ball with
more care than Wilson because he recog-
nized the fact that he had few points to
| lose When the set had reached deuce
the gallery sat breathless while the pair
fought point after point and the game
waxed the hotter all the time. The pace
proved too much for Newell and Wilson
went out in q whirlwind finish of the last
two games.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE MAINE

y cool MANY suggestions have been
made as 20 what ought to DC done
With the ragments OF the Maine. Some
OF the peanut financiors in Congress
hsvc suggested that il would be a
good thing 10 put them on exhibition
and charge the public for a sight of
them; make 4 sort Of vaudeville show
Of the wrecksge. as II we're. Another
proposition has been TO distribute rel.
les OF the Maine to various cities
throughout the country as memcntoes.
The original suggestion was, TO take
the wrecksCc out in the deep sea and
sink II. Any OF these suggestions. ex-
cept the one for the vaudeville, would
he at least respectable.
There is, however. a further susges.
tiou which we wish TO make, which goes
10 the verities OF history and TO the
perpctuation of evidence The suggcs,
tion that we make is, that the portion
Of the wreck which demonstrates the
fact Of the explosion from the outside
as being the original cause OF the
wrockage, be transferred to our most
important navy ward and kept there
as perpetual evidence of the fact that
the Maine was DESTROYED by an explo-
sion from without. There have been
many who doubted the outside explo.
sion As the cause of the destruction
of tho ship. Our own Admiral Melville
has constantly secuted the idea aud has
written articles to show that such
abominable treachery was impossible
with the high.minded SpanIarls, But
there are plenty of Spapisrds. rs there
are plenty of men Of other nationalltles,
who are not high-minded; and the
wreck itself is the best evidence OF
the fact of the outside explosion, 1t
is true. further, that Spain Will always
deny the outside explosion if there is
any opportunity left for that denial,
But the evidence of the wreckage 1T.
self. the framework 1cnted within car
rriug its own proof, would set at
naucht any possible denials by Spain.
We think that the United States
owes IL 10 itself 10 preserve this ire
racable proof that the Maine was de-
strovei by an explosion from the out
side: the framework showing the proof
Of this would be the best possible evi.
dcucc, and that evidence ought 10 he
proluceablc at any time that the truth
were seriously challenged Let that
portion OF the wreckage he taken to
tho Brooklyn navy yard, or 10 the new

Never proposes on the south New Eng

mortal and proof that the correctness

with the initiative and all the trim
mincs. Under this initiative privilege,
the fremeu of that city have applied
for an increase in pay, and started a
petition asking for it. This petition has
been signed bv more than twenty-five
per cent OF the voters Of the city;
but the charter provides that when a
petition is signed by at least one-fourth
OF the voting population, 1t shall be
favorably considered by the Board Of
Aldermen within twenty days of its
presentations; or. If the matter peti-
toned for is not adopted by the alder
men within that period, the matter
shall be referred to the voters at a

have the matter going pretty much

either have TO grant the increased pay

presentation of the petition or call an
election on the proposition, which
would probably cost as much as the
increased pay would amount 10. II is

THE RUSSIAN ATROCITIES.

The reports Of Russian atrocities at
Tabrz in Persia are so shocking as TO
he almost beyond belief in this day and
age. The Vice Governor of Tabriz
wires to the world: ''l swear before
God that innocent women anil children
arc being butchercd in coll blood. y
This is an appeal 10 the humanity Of
all people, AMI also horror TO human
nature Those who are acquainted
with the habitual aud callous atrocities
Of the Cossacks Will. however. find lit
tie difficulty in accepting the state
ment OF the Vice Governor AS true; in
fact the threats and official declara
tions Of the Russian authorities arc
coufirmatorv Of the devastating blood
letting Of the Russian bear.
In spite Of the fact that Persia has
practically laid down It's arms and has
submitted TO overy demand Of Russia,
AMI is imporing mercy, the Russian
authorities have shown, as related in
dispatch from ST Petersburg. that they
are ruthless and implacable. Their
blood-thirstiug savagcrv is well indi.
