The company guarantees protection
from Spanish interference from New
Orleans to Cuba and when the men ar
rive they will be such
formidable body that Spain
will not dare to interfere in
the peaceful pursuits the immigrants
intend to pursue. If an attempt should
be made to interfere the men will be
Instructed to arm themselves and pro
tect their rights. The cOmpany's agen'
asserts that a vast amount of money
has been lost by American property
owners over there because the Span
iards would not allow them to work
their plantations. They intend to
place man on every few acres and if
he stands up for his rights and works
the property as it can be worked
he will become the absolute
owner Of the plantation in a few years.
The company guarantees to furnish the
settlers with all the necessary ma
chinery and arm them if it becomes
necessary through Spanish interven-
ton. Mr.. Patterson says he has been
very successful in securing men from
the two nakotas, Montana and Mime

100000 MEN FOR CUBA.
Will Go From Northwest and Settle
on Islands Vacant Farms.

Aberdeen, S. D., Feb. 5.-Jim Pit
terson Of Minneapolis, who is we'll
known throughout the northwest, was
here recently on peculiar mission.
He is working quietly but persistenly
upon a scheme to take 100000 men to
Cuba and land them there on the 4th
Of July. He is backed by syndicate
of Americans who have large landed
interests in the island and claims
these Americans are anxious to cut up
their large holdings and dispose of
small plantations to able-bodied men
on long time and at low rate of in
terest. They require no cash down,
and all the money the intended pur-
chaser needs is enough to pay his ex-
penses from here to Cuba.
On account of the large number of
people whom they intend to transport
the travelling expenses will be small.
Mr.. Patterson says excursion rates
have already been arranged for, and
that there will be enough steamers at
New Orleans on July to carry the
100000 excursionists to Havana and
other points on the island where they
intend to land.

DEAF MUTES DIVORCED.
Marriage Bonds of Mr.. and Mrs AL
bert Zuehlke Severed.

Milwaukee, Feb 5.-Tillie Zuehlke. a.
deaf mute, appeared before Judge
Sutherland Friday as the plaintiff in an
action for divorce from Albert Zuehl-
Ike, her deaf mute husband, with his
full consent. After hearing her story
through the medium of an interpreter,
the court granted the decree and Tillie
is again single woman. The story
was the simple and unvarnished tale
of an unsophisticated girl, one so
hampered by her physical infirmity
that she had an inadequate knowledge
of the duties and responsibilities of
married life. She had been flattered
by the attentions of her sutton. He
came from Oshkosh to WOO and to
win. They were married Nov. 6. 1897,
but Immediately separated and have
not lived together The bride Of an
hour told her story on her fingers to
the court, female friend interpreting.
When the ceremony was performed,
she did not we'll understand what such
ceremony meant. Immediately after
ward knowledge was brought to her
regarding the responsibilities it placed
upon her and she at once fed to the
protecting arms of her mother, where
she has since remained.

PROMINENT PREACHER DYING.
Rev. John Schuette Who Figured in
Bennett Law Campaign.

Milwaukee, Feb. 4.-The Rev. John
Scnuette, formerly pastor of the lions
Lutheran church, is dying at the coun-
ty asylum for the insane. He was ad-
nitted to the asylum little more than
two years ago, being afflicted with
softening of the brain. The disease
was at once recognized as of such
nature as to preclude any hope of final
recovery. Several weeks ago the SYM
toms became alarming and his wife
was called from Fort Wayne, Ind, to
attend his bedside. His condition has
become complicated lately with paraly-
SIS. Only at rare intervals does he
seem to grasp an idea. He was promi-
nent in the Bennett Law campaign.
Since the commitment of her husband
to the asylum, Mrs. Schuette has lost
her sight. Two children are dependent
upon her.

pendertly of any virtue or renown
which his father, DR.. Choate, might
have earned. He was sent to Harvard
in the good old days when the eastern
universities were making great men
instead of society leaders. He was o
tall, raw boy, studying side by side
with another tall, raw boy-Phillips
Brooks. He graduated with all the
honors that could be bestowed upon
him. Mr.. Choate has no peer as an
after-dinner speaker. Senator Evarts
has said that no other American ever
said brighter things and more of them.
He has topped his reputation as pro
found and logical lawyer with an
equally brilliant fame as wit.

OF New York being the guest OF the
evening. Fully 800 of the leading at
torne!s of Chicago We're present. Mr.
Choate delivered an eloquent address
upon the subject Our Profession. He
maintained that in no other occupa-
tion to which men can devote their
lives is there nobler intellectual pur-
suit or higher moral standard than
inspires and pervades the ranks of the
legal profession. The American bar.
he said, has far outshone not only it's
brother in England, but in every other
country in shaping public affairs. In
this respect he believes that with one
consent the common judgement of man
kind would point to Hamilton, Web
ster and Lincoln as the three AmerI-
can lawyers, WHO in actual service had
mcst largely contributed to the form
alton and preservation of the cOnstitu-
ton, ON whose continuance the hope of
civil liberty for all coming time de-
pend. Former ambassador to Ger
many, Uhl, spoke to the toast Inter
national Arbitration. Other toasts of
the evening were: Lawyer in Civics,
which was responded to by ex-senator

A SWAGGER DAME.
She Declares That She Wears $25, 5000
Worth OF Diamonds Habitully.

Baltimore, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Isaac Elmer
son, one of the wealthiest women in
Baltimore, was before the appeal tax
court to show cause why her diamonds
reported to be worth S25, 900 should
not be assessed and taxed. The En-
erson mansion was entered by thief
about month ago. He stole some of
Mrs. Emerson's diamonds, but was
captured and the gems recovered. The
statement then made that Mrs. Emer-
son had diamonds valued at $25, 900 led
the tax officials to investigate. When
she appeared before the court her
hands were ablaze with diamonds, and
she wore magnificent diamond brooch
at her throat. Judge Hull stated that
Mrs. Emerson had told the newspaper
reporters that her diamonds were worth
$4,000. The lady denied that she had
placed value on her jewels in telling
the reporters of the robbery. She said
that her husband gave her the dia-
monds and she did not know their
value. She was sworn and testified
that she wore all her jewelry at least
twice a week and half of it every day.
Judge Hull remarked that it did not
seem possible to wear $4,000 worth
of jewels regularly. Then Mrs. En-
erson's eyes filled with tears and she
insisted that she knew a number of
ladies who wore jewels to that value.
Her counsel contended that the law
provided that diamonds and jewelry
habitually worn were exempt from
taxation. Decision was reserved.
