THEY WERE MARRIED.
Miss Huffman and Mr.. Tatge Courted
Mid Gales and Icebergs.
Kansas City Cousins Failed In Efforts
to Prevent Wedding.

New York, March 27.-Fire nc sea, Shrek
ing gales icebergs and cousins from Kan
sas City, Mo, could not sever two fond
hearts that beat rs one on the bounding
main In spite of all opposition the rude
rebuffs of the elements and the well meant
interference of the Kansas City cousins,
Miss Margaret Huffman and Henry Ct.
Tatge are now man and wife, and all Is
peace and happiness
The romance opens on board the German
steamer III. H. Meier, which reached this
port on Thursday, after all kinds OF trouble
at sea, including fire. When the ship left
Bremen, Miss Huffman, "A buXom maid OF
twenty two years was among the passen-
gers. So was Mr.. Tatgc, Il prosperous
butcher of this city, who had been visiting
kinsfolk in Germany. The girl wasN ac-
companied by the brothers kraggc, her
cousins from Kansas City. They, too, had
been visiting in the fatherland and in
duced Miss Huffman to make return
visit.
All being cabin passengesr, Margaret
and Mr.. Tatge soon met. Then they fell
i'm love, violently and irrevocably. though
the Kansas City Cousins never noticed
the symptoms. While the kragge brothers
strolied the deck, watching the steamer
dodge icebergs and battle with fire in the
forward hold the lovers fingered in the
cabin and vowed eternal constancy. Even
when the ship put back in distress the
couple never told their love-to Others.
Shortly before reaching New York Miss
Huffman informed her cousins that she
had changed her mind about going Co
Kansas City. She would stop in New
York she said, and marry Mr.. Iatge
The kragges said no. Rather than allow
the ceremony To take place they would
cross the sea again with the girl, and
leave her with her mother. This threat
did not influence Miss Huffman in the
least Tatge insisted on the marriage,
explaining that he was worth $40, 600 ana
would make u model husband. Then ne
gave the girl 1000 marks and told her to
prepare for the event, which would take
place in two weeks.
Then the Kansas City cousins executed a
| coup. They called on Assistant hnmigra.
| tion Commissioner McSwecney, and had
| their relative detained at Ellis Island,
( with the intention of sending her back to
| Germany. She was kept on the island
| over Thursday night Yesterday Tatge
| interviewed McSweCney The butcher
proved that be had been n citizen OF the
| United States for thirteen years; that the
| girl was of age, and that II she was pre-
| vented from landing he would follow hel
| TO Germany, obtain parental consent, ant
| marry her, anyhow. This ultimatum SO
| cured tho release of Hir. Iatgc's sweet
| heart. The Kansas City cousins rclentet
| and were forgiven, and Pastor schneider
| of No. 109 Second avenue, performed TIT
ceremony yesterday afternoon.

/ tions,
| Therefore, Resolved, That the school
committee hereby calls public attention
| To said statement and pronounces the
same mischievous in character, and mis-
| leading in intent.
