WHEN the United States ship Portsmouth
reached Hampton Roads, in the Chesapeake,

in at port the German man-of war Nike, and in
the course of few days a warm friendship was
established between the young officers Of the
two ships. Frequent visits were in order
Among the German officers there was one Young
man who thought-who knew-that he had
mastered the whole English language in his
short month in American waters. He was so
sure of this that he fastened to exhibit his
fuency whenever any of the American officers
were about. This lead to trap which

ACCORDING to the Chicago papers, says the |
Baltimore sun, young business man of Mil |
waukee had a most embarrassing and unusual |
experience while passing through the Windy |
CITY recently on his wedding trip. While in |
Chicago the newly married couple went to the |
races, where they seen by a we'll known
Chicago sporting man who mistook the lady for |
his wife and had them secretly tracked to their |
hotel by a de tective. The indignant husband |
followed, and meeting the bridegroom in the |
hotel rotunda denounced him and demanded |
the return of his wife, whom he insisted he had |
seen at he race course with the Milwaukeean |
The latter protested in vain that the Chicago |
man mistaken, but he said he knew |
his own wife and was not to be fooled in |
that fashion. Finally it agreed that |
a boy IN the employ of the Chicago husband |
should personate a bell boy, and carrying a |
pitcher of water upstairs to the lady's ROOM |
should take good look at her and report. He |
did SO, and returning reported that she was !
undoubtedly the spouse of the Chicago man.
This did not please the bridegrc ON. and the boy |
was sent back to give him more extended OBJ |
portunity for observation. On his return the |
second time he said he had been mistaken: |
that though the face was the same in every
feature and the dress was identical, the voice |
was different. The Chicago man immediately |
said the boy had been brIbed, aud declined to |
accept his verdict IL was then suggested TO /
him that he should go home and see if his wife |
was not there, but he looked upon this as a |
ever, to an arrangement by which he |
the detective should visit his residence. |
The latter presently returned with |
the Information that the counterpart of the |
bride was safe in her own home. and Chicago's |
representative sneaked u feeling very small |
