 CHICAGO. Sept. 2a-A duel was fought at Cheltenham beach, I5 miles south of Chi cago, the combatants being William Flick len of 5l Oakwood boulevard and Phila- delphia man. TlIe latter received an ugly wound in the left shoulder, while Ficklen escaped uuhurt. The trouble was caused by woman. Her name k withheld by Ficklen, who admits fighting the duel Eicklen also refuses tO tell the name of the man with whom he fought. but says he was cousin of the lady.
 A friend of Ficklen from Philadelphia, whom he declares is not Frank keefe, came to Chicago q month ago to see the Worlds fair. He was accompanied bv a party of relatives, among whom was the pretty girl cousin about whom the trouble arose. She was engaged to be married toa man in Philadelphia, 1t k said. but the aC- cepted lover unfortunately stayed behind Mir Ficklen met her, and according to the idea of her male cousin became too atten- tive.
 He demonstrated with the Chicago man, but il appears was not satisfied with the latter's conduct even after his approaches had been made. The Philadelphia man finally brought things to a climax by chal- lcnSiug Ficklcn to fight a duel
 Ficklen accepted the challenge. and, be ing the challenged party, chose swords. Accompanied by their seconds. both men went to a secluded spot at Cheltenham beach and prepared to settle the matter by the light of the moon. The cousin of the girl was excited, but determined. Flcklen was the mOre adept of the two with the sa- bers and contcnted himself with parrying his foes thrUStS and blows until assured by the lattcr's determined onSlaughts that he meant to draw blood before he was sat isfied. Then Ficklen slipped his saber h.. e l. z, -H the point into his shoulder. Tha; ended the affair.
 The Philadelphia man lowered his saber and drew back, the blood flowing from the wound in his shoulder His second came up and asked both parties if they were sat istied. They were. Ficklen. before leaving for the city. assured his adversary that he was entirely mistaken in the idea that he Ficklenl was trying to steal away the heart of another mans promised bride.

PECULIAR thing about the bomhar,l- m mt of Rio Janeiro is the absence of re- ports of any great destruction. So far there appears to have been but one woman killed. The lack of greater casualties is r 'rhaps due to the fact that modern meth odS of war have not been tested by actual engagements Improved guns, throwing lrger projectileS than the older styles oc- cupy d great deal of space, and while when a shot strikes it does great damage

In the name Of the devil. How does that
start?" he asked the auditor.
But the auditor did not know how the
riot act commenced.
Lets go for them" he said.
The governor seized a stout cane
which stood near the door and with a
whoop like the yell of an Indion he
started for the array of rats, which at
this time had almost filed the room.
The auditor followed a close second,
carrying heavy ruler.
The rodents lodged their efforts to
strike them and succeeded in evading
the blows which were showered at
them. The big gray rat seemed to guide
his followers by squeakS and they
marched and cOuntermarched in regular
military style while number Of
skirmishers played with their sharp
teeth on gubernatorial legs. Then
they all made rush for the dis
turbers Of their dinner and swarmed
up trouser legs, sprang from chairs
and desks and finally routed the valiant
two. Hundreds of sharp needles, which
burned like fire, seemed to have pierced
the limbs of the governor. and the au-
ditor was dancing around trying to hoid
both feet in his hands at the same time.
The rats followed them out of the gov
errors room, lnlO the dnI6-fOOHl anu
chased them into the hall. Just then a
man who desired a pardon for man in
prison entered the building followed by
an immense bull terrier. The dog
looked at the rats and then at his mas
ter. He had evidently been trained to
obey orders.
"Sick the dog on the rats" yelled the
governor.
81 will if you will grant pardon for
my friend" was the reply. The gov
ernor was at first uncertain, but feeling
couple of sharp nipS on the calves of
his legs he promised. Then the rats re-
treated in good form while the dog
grabbed at stragglers.
The governor rubbed his eyes.
stretched his limbs and slowly got out
of his chair. A large gray rat was nib
bling piece of cheese on the desk, but
at the movements of the sleeper he
scampered away.
my goodnesS-I must get to work,
there goes the l o'clock whistle" said
the governor. II must have slept almost
an hour"
