Quite confidentially, our j vanity was muchly tickled when Ave j "were asked to write other aritcles! about tennis. We promised to furnish an authori tative account of a deep conspiracy en- j tered into by Bipinnate Bud Bowers and Decussate Douglas Weeks. Although we run great risk of personal violence at the hands of the above named conspirators,?we deem it a sacred duty to carry out our promise j and also to show to what extent some j people will go to gain an advantage, j Sir Douglas, finding that the brilli- j ance of his playing did not dazzle 'his ' opponents,?proceeded to remove his , cap. That settled it! The game was up! For the sun did shine down upon i the worthy head of Sir Douglas,?and j then, (according to the laws of phys- ! ics, we believe) the brilliance of the | sun, greatly magnified,?and aided by#j the brilliance of the play,?was re-! I fleeted directly into the eyes of his j opponents, or opponent, as the case j mig'it be. Sir Jackson Bowers, not to j be outdone conceived the idea of having his head put in the same condition as the head of Dr. Weeks. Nothing could keep him from carrying out his idea. (We have mentioned berorp that Sir Jack used his head.) So what should greet us the next after afternoon hut Bouncing Bud sfaorn of his locks and (his pate highly polished. We were at first afraid that Sir Jack had fallen into the hands of some fair Delilah,?but were glad to know that such was not the case. But there is always a remedy for self-inflctied shining pates. Hilarious Herman came right across with the suggestion that Sir Jack have 'has head gilded,?and we thought treat then it might resemible the roof of the Con gressionai .UDrary m wasmrgton. t Exuberant Ernest Anderson wrought up by the insinuations against hiin, in our last article, did hie himself over to the Boundary street court a few afternoons ago?and while we did not ; see his playing, we are reliably in formed that 'he put up a good, stiff game. In fact, we believe he told us, himself! Others verified fc-us statement,?that he played a good game. AVe once more insist that .'be not deny us the pleasure of his company. Barely Conscious Monroe joined in some doubles the other day, and notwithstanding the fact thai: he had on A 11 ATI AAC?

We seriously advised him to try a sprinkling of i Cayenne pepper immediately be'.'ore i each set. The result, we guarantee, i will be noticeable. Prof Monroe, though as a good fellow, and can develop a ; good game if he tries. ' Jaunty Jess MoFall's foot has kept; him out of the game for several weeks,' hut he has come back with plenty of stored up energy and silent contempt for his opponents. Sift Dick has a s'.iort, quick serve that baffles any attempt to return it. In one game, it required only four of these to win the game,?wiich is almost a record for these Darts. McFall is a eood sport, and loves a clean game. Hilarious Herman Wright continues . to improve and is now one of the best; in town. We advise him to try out at singles, and when his singles get to be as good as his game of doubles, hft will sivp "anv of lis trouble alone that line. ; Allen and Bowers say that they are ! ready to play any team at doubles, and will try to make things interesting. Also, either of these gents will play anybody at singles. Miss Bess- Kibler and Miss Sadie Bowers are real enthusiasts, and both ! o? them play good tennis. And it is none of fc'nas "foolishness" either. They get over the court and keep up a clean, fast, game all the time. It happens that these young ladies are the only ones we have seen play,? since school opened,?but as our knowledge increases we will write more aDout it. One o:' the most amusing perfor- I i mances we have seen and heard in j many a day was the other afternoon at the college court, when Wright andAllen were playing Weeks and E. B. Setzler. We have aforetime remark ed that Setzler made one stick to his interpretation of the rales. It seems ! to be an obsession with him, also to vigorously insirt on his partner play- . ing the way he (Setzler) wants him to play,?and just where ho wants him 1 to play. Well, it so 'happened that ?5ir UOUgias,? v\ UU a vcwiaii c:, ?had ideas of his own, (and good ones) about where to stand when his partner serves.

Wright and Allen say j that they had to intervene, at times, i in order to let the game proceed with- j out intermissions of more than 30 min- J utes. These intermissions were to j afford Setzler and Weeks time to settle j their differences. And the most amus- ; ing part of it was that Setzler did all ; the talking,?barring the few minutes j that both* of them talked at the same time. The next time these gents playtogether,"Sir Douglas says that in order to avo^d all dispute and delay,? he is going to take over a chip, give : it to the Uoctor and tell him to place it ? ? ? 1 ? .1-. ?

Think on the Future. "We who now are legislating, if we do not bear in mind toe possibilities of hundreds of years from now and t'he inevitable conflict, commercial or otherwise, which will meet in the far East, have forgotten the principles which ought to actuate us. "It is as certain as that the sun will arise tomorrow that a conflict will' nnmp between file far East and the far West. All which has taken place in tine world during the 'history of the American race up to now teaches us that the avoidance of the conflict is impossible. I hope war may not come; that there be no conflict of arms. I have little faith that in this world of ours people and races are able to meet in competition for a lone neriod of time with'out an armed conflict. A fight for commercial supremacy in the end leads to a fight with arms, beoause t&at is the final arbiter between nations. Command of Pacific. "We command tihe Pacific ocean today with the land that we have on this side, with the islands which we possess in the sea and with the Philippines on the other side.
