Marriage by proxy is still permi ted in some countries and is recogni: ed as binding. Holland is one of th few countries where it is permitte still with royal sanction. Thus it i that when in due course Maria J( hanna Liefman, of Amsterdan comes to this country to meet Mose Pimentel, of Boston, she will fe< that she is coming to her husbanc although there is every likelihoo that the immigration authorities wi +/-? ollrt-tv Uor tr? land until thp A^IUOO tv UUV1I UV? vv _ have been married according to th laws of this country. As the parents of the bride did nc wish to have their daughter leav them until she was married to th man of her choice, Moses sen through the Dutch consul of this cit the necessary papers for his mai riage to Maria by proxy, and with th consent of the queen of Holland hi brother Isaac represented him in marriage ceremony performed at th Amsterdam city hall. Then when she arrives at Bostor says the American Hebrew, she wil be again married "according to th laws of Moses and Israel" and at th 6ame time according to the law o this land. It is interesting to not that the brother of the bride-groor was married recently in Amsterdar to the sister of the bride. Miss Bessie Sulich, hailing fror Russia, came to this country tw weeks ago to get married without th formality of a proxy ceremony, bu when she reached Fort Madison, la a marriage license was obtained b Paul Resnick, her lover, who ha preceded her, and they were wedde at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harr Resnaick. If they had wanted tc they could not have been married b proxy, as Russia does not permit till to be done. A peculiar case recently before th courts was that of Mrs. Mae Weil, c 214 West 110th street, who sought divorce from Sigmund Weil on th ground that her husband was "ove age." It is true that he is now 7 years of age. and that she is muc his junior but she was under no com pulsion to marry him three years ag and she was certainly of sufficien age to know whether she should mar ry a man over 75 years old. Whil the husband interposed no objectio to the complaint, Justice Xewberge - dismissed the complaint, saying tha when a woman married a man of 7 years and knows his age when sh mairies him she is not, to his mine entitled to the relief she seeks. One Good Man in Chicago. Diogenes, with his lantern, i search of an honest man. would b an unnecessary person in Chicag< according to members of the board c review, who experienced the greates astonishment of their lives when citizen voluntarily sought them 01 to confess to owning property. Pinckney S. Cohen, a civil ws veteran, of No. 3808 Ellis avenu* appeared in the office of the boar and begged to be assessed. He state that no assessment had ever bee levied on his property. "What's this!" exclaimed Pres den Roy 0. West, when he recovere from his astonishment. "How muc property do you own?" "Only about $20,000 worth," r< plied the honest taxpayer. "Great Scott!" cried Secretai Stephen Griffin. "This simply shou] not happen in Chicago, should it?" In explanation Cohen said: "I recently fell heir to a fortur of $34,000, of which I have investe a little more than $14,000 in re: estate. I helped to save my count] in 1861 and I want to help suppo it now." A stoop-shouldered, white-hair* old man came into the room and in low voice asked that his assessmei of $5,000 be cut to $3,000. Th man was Hubert Mue'hen. No. 4 21 Went worth avenue. "A few yea ago," he explained with a patiei smile, "I paid assessments on mo than $43,000. Two years ago it b gan to dwindle away, and today have practically nothing left. Swi: dlers got most of it?and it cos money to live." His request w; granted. RECORI> VICE RESTRICTION. >r Atlanta Crusaders Results of l'uri Great Change. :e Atlanta, Oct. 4.?One year havi s, passed since Atlanta closed its t r- light district, the whole world is a? ss ing whether or not the experimc o- has been successful, and the qir lr tion of the success or non succ*< it of the movement as it now stan a- was a vital feature in yesterda :o election. Scores of American cities are id vestigating. either by letter or :li sending representatives here, the sr feet the closing of the houses 1: n had 011 moral conditions in the eo to munity. Magazines and social woi 1- ers are seeking information of hi the change was brought about. As the case stands today the : gregated district as an entirety, h been completely wiped off the m< as the result of the crusade wag by the Men and Religion bulletii backed by the active aid of Poli 2_ Chief Beavers. Until a year ago Atlanta had pi ^ sued the common policy of restr . tion and a sort of informal recogi tion and supervision by the police. There had existed, however, f years in Georgia, a state law maki: ^ the operation of these houses a m: J demeanor. The fight to enforce this law t gan when moneyed philanthrope published a series of newspaper bt e letins in advertisement form, sig ed by the Men and Religious Coz ^ mittee, demanding that the law ^ enforced. Many of these bulleti e were of a remarkable and impassio t ed eloquence. Many of them stab ,T facts with such nakedness that the V was a question of whether or n they should pass through the mail The whole movement met the bitt _ and violent opposition of a certa d faction of the politicians; from m< who were financially interested the vice districts; and also from [j few people who honestly believ< e restriction the only sane method e handling the social evil. At t! r risk of losing his political hea e Chief Beavers decided to en for Q the letter of the law, and did e Q force it. The change has been t< recent to draw any general concl n sion as yet. 0 Sought for Murder of Child. e New York, Oct. 4.?Mystery su t rounding the murder of a golae > haired child of three years yesterdi y began to clear away today with tl ^ identification of the body, the arre ^ of the baby's mother and the soun *v ing of a general police alarm for tl b apprehension of the man from who fiat the baby was taken late yeste s day afternoon.
