The cabled accounts of the sensational London libel case and its even more sensational termination and sequel render the following
information concerning Oscar Wilde of timely interest:—Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin in 1856. After obtaining the Berkeley gold medal for Greek at
Trinity College, Dublin, he went in 1874 to Oxford, where in 1878 he gained the Newdigate prize for English poetry. He went to London in 1879, and was
prominent in the Æsthetic movement. In 1880 he published a volume of poems, and in 1881 lectured for several months in America. His drama "Vera" was
produced in New York in 1882; "The Happy Prince and other Fairy Tales," was published in 1888; "The Picture of Dorian Gray," was published in Lippincott's
Magazine in July, 1890, and republished later in book form; "The Duchess of Padua," a blank verse tragedy in five acts, was produced at the Star Theatre,
New York, in January, 1891; "Lady Windermere's Fan," a comedy, was successfully staged at St. Jame's Theatre, London, in February, 1892; "Salome," a play
written for Sarah Bernhardt, was published in French in Paris in February, 1993; "A Woman of no importance," a comedy, was produced at the Haymarket,
London, in April, 1893. In 1884 Mr Wilde married Constance, daughter of Horace Lloyd, Esq., Q C., and has two children, who are remarkable for their
personal beauty. Wilde's mother, the late Lady Wilde, was a famous poetess in the fifties, her writings under the nom de plume of Speranza, being very
popular.
