"A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies. I have not got one who is a fool. They are all men of intellectual power, and
consequently they all appreciate me." Thus Oscar Wilde. The Marquis of Queensberry is not amongst the appreciative. Very few are.

As Mr Oscar Wilde is (in a decidedly unpleasant sense, truly) the personality of the hour, a short study of him as a literary artist,
which appears in another column, is timely. Some of his epigrams and paradoxes are quoted. Was ever an apostle of "sweetness and light" revealed in
circumstances so disgusting as these which at present surround Oscar Wilde!
Oscar Wilde has been arrested, and stands charged with abominable practices. He was to appear before the Bow street Police Court to-day,
and would probably be remanded. He has written a letter to the press saying that he is willing to bear ignominy in order to avoid compelling Lord Alfred
Douglas to give evidence against his father, the Marquis of Queensberry!
