MAKIUAGE BY PROXY.
Immigrants Who (Jo Through Cei'<
mony Before Sailing.
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.
