The Calls exclusive story which ap-
peared last Friday telling of prospect
i've wedding with Charles f. Dwyer, the
noted plunger, and Nal Weber, the
fascinating brunette of this city, as the
contracting parties, which had It's cul-
nlnation in Milwaukee on Saturday, mas
caused a small sized sensation among the
numerous friends of the now happy cou-
pie. There were many doubling Thomases
who. after reading the story in these col
umns, predicted that the marriage would
never take place, but when the kilograms
came announcing that Mai and Charles
had been made one the dubious 1ndlVld-
uals were compelled to admit that they
were woefully wrong in their conclu-
sions. The wedding was the universal
topic of conversation yesterday and con-
gratulatory kilograms have been Speeu-
ing across the continent in unlimited
numbers to the young couple.
Among the friends of Mr.. Dwyer In this
city the opinion was expressed that the
young turfman, for he is only % years
of age, had in all probability found his
affinity in the young lady, but they ap-
peared to be amused at his impetuous
step. They believe him to be sincere,
however, and see no reason why the mar
riage should not turn out a happy one.
The bride and groom are young and In
telligent, and money will not be lacking
to purchase all the required comforts in
addition to many luXuries.

Dwyer, during her residence in San Fran

sired to shine as a star before the amuse-
was Mai Weber. and with that idea IN

formerly manager Of the Columbia Thea

pearance on the legitimate stage, put l9r
some reason or other the matter fcll
through Now that the talented young
lady has plenty of money at her command
it is possible that should she still enter
tain the same ambition to go before the
footlights, her indulgent husband may
encourage the whim, and musical eouca-
ton in Europe is not remote posi-
bility. Mr.. Friedlander, when seen last
