ONE OF A GIRL CARGO HERE.
MISS SCHEILPLAND IS GOING TO IDA-
HO FOR A HUSBAND.
He Sent a Tag With His Name and Ad-
dress for Her to Use in Travel-
ing -- She Can Talk
Only Dutch.
At least one of a cargo of "marriageable girls" brought to the United States by the White Star Steamship company last month has found a husband. She is Cornelia Scheilpland, a Hollander, and she was at the Union depot this morning on her way to Lewiston, Idaho, where she is to be married to William Kay, a member of a milling firm.
"I speak Holland Dutch and I am going to Lewiston, Idaho," was written in English on a shipping tag with her prospective husband's firm name printed on it.
"He sent me that to New York," she said to George Jenkins, the Union depot interpreter. "He wishes that I should not get lost, I think."
HER LINEN UMBRELLA.
It would have been difficult to distinguish Miss Scheilpland from any other traveler as she sat in the chair car of the Burlington's Northwest Flyer this morning. She was dressed in a neat suit of gray with a hat that corresponded in every particular. An ostrich plume was the only trimming. She wore heavy traveling boots and the only indications of foreign birth was a linen umbrella. Securely tied to that umbrella was a silk sunshade with a silver handle.
WITH THE DEPOT INTERPRETER.
Miss Scheipland arrived in Kansas City last night from New York and because her train was late she was compelled to stay over night. George Jenkins, the Union depot interpreter, found her in the depot and after a few moments' conversation learned her story. Then he took her to his home at 214 South Mill street, Kansas City, Kas. Mrs. Jenkins talks excellent Dutch and they had a long visit.
"I have friends in New York," she told Mrs. Jenkins. "I came from Holland with many other girls and we all were looking for husbands. My friends in New York had friends a-way out there and wrote a letter. Then I got a letter which said I should come there and marry. I am going now, and I want to like everything and my husband, too."
A thou sand and two marriageable girls arrived in New York, September 27, on the White Star steamship Baltic looking for good husbands. A few days later the company announced that several hundred more were coming.
