Wester, who was in the full uniform of a captain on the general staff und wearing his decora- tions, disturbed the seance of a mind reader. Casper, who is the manager of the establishment, remonstrated with the captain and demanded an apology. This Wester refused and Casper said the officer's conduct was ungentlemanly and disgraceful. The captain then challenged the Ameri- can, who accepted and repaired to the meeting place at 5 o'clock this morning, With his seconds, including the secretary of the United States legation, Joseph Muir, Wester, who wasa war correspondent in Cuba and South Africa, failed to appear, and as a consequence will undoubtedly be forced to retire from the army. Cas- per has been the recipient of many congratulations. Captain Wester of the Swedish army was the military attache to the legation of Sweden and Norway at Washington at the time of the outbreak of the war between the United States and Spain. He went through that war and thejjwar be- tween Turkey and Greece. He was attached to General Shafter’s head- quarters as a foreign guest.

WOULD WED ON THE «LOOP. Indiana Swain Ready to Make the Perilous Trip Rather Than Fall to Get His Girl, To be married while “looping the loop” at Chicago is the ambition of William Darrow, of Liberty, Ind. Mr. Darrow aspires to a loop wedding be- cause he fears his intended will not consent to any other sort of nuptials. He has sent the following letter to the manager of the Chicago chutes. and loops: é Dear Sir: A young lady living near Liberty has told me she won’t marry me unless I will go to Chicago with her and marry in one of your loops. Now, she laughed when she said this like it was a joke, but she thinks a whole lot of me and she will keep her word. I don’t know what the loops is, but she has rode in it and she says I wouldn't dare to goin one. If you will fix it for me I'll pay you well and fool her. IfT couldn’t get her any other way I am willing to go in the loops. Inclosed is | a stamp foran answer. Please let me hear from you right away. Yours truly, WILLIAM DARROW, The answer was a consent. If the couple wish to marry on the loop the management is willing to arrange for the ceremony to take place at the ex- act moment the car arrives upside down at the top of the loop. If neces- sary a special bridal train of two cars will be provided.
