Oscar Wilde.
The warrant for the arrest of Oscar Wiide was issued at the in* stance of the Treasury. Although Wilde's name has been removed from the playbills, companies continue to play his pieces for the present. Wilde, in his letter to the press explaining his reason for abandoning the case, states that he is willing to bear ignominy in order to avoid calling Lord Alfred Douglas to give evidence against his father, but says the son was eager and quite willing to enter the box. Wilde has been remanded till Thursday, bail not being allowed. Parisian society is petrified at the Wilde exposure.
