A POINT IN PRE.EMPTIoN.
Bare Occupancy does not give Title
to Public Land.

In the case of the Stockton Building
and Loan Association against Chambers
and others the supreme court decides that
the bare occupancy Of Government land,
no other step in the direction Of pre-emp-
ton having been taken by the occupant
during his life, or by his administrator
or heirs after his death, notwithstanding
that the probate court may have set apart
the land as homestead for the family
Of the deceased, does not stand in the
way to prevent third party from fling
a prc.emption claim for the same land.
The setting apart by the probate court
does not give title, nor dispose Of the
steps requisite to obtain presumption
title. In this case one Alhof entered
upon piece Of un,urv yed Cove nment
land, extending his occupancy over about
twcnty.thrce acres He put on dwell
Ing house, barn and wine cellar, and
planted vineyard, and lived on it till
his death, period ,t twelve years. He
left widow and two sons, the widow
appointed administrative. In the same
year that A!hoff died the probate court
set apart the tract as homestead for the
widow and two sons. This was in 1867.
In May, 1869, the defendant Robert
Chambers was appointed guardian Of the
I sons who were then minors, but fled no
inventory or report. In July, 1869, the
widow married Robert Chalmers, who,
took her and her two sons to live with
him in his house on the opposite side OF
the road which divides his from the
Alhof place. No steps had yet been
taken by the administrators or any one
else toward completing Alhofi's prc-emp-
ton. In July, 1871, the United States
survey was completed. Robert Chalmers
then filed prc-emption claim including
his own residence and also something over
nine acres Of the Alhoff tract, being the
portion upon which the Alhotf dwelling,
barn and wire cellar were situated, and
obtained United States patent therefor.
He aiterward executed to the plaintiff in
this suit, mortgage upon the land foi
which he had obtained patent. tn,
suit was brought to foreclose that mort
gage and the two sons, who in the mean
time had obtained their majority, wcr,
admitted as sintervening defendants The
claimed that the United States pateni
obtained by Chalmers, SO far as it relate
to the Alhof tract, was held by him il
trust for their use. They also relied o.,
the action Of the probate court in settin
the tract apart as n homestead. Til
supreme court decided against them Oh,
both points.

"God pity me-"
Gladys McNnlty, usually so proud anC
composed and who moved about in thC

the stately grace OF a New York Poat editor
ial, sank ON a iauteuil as she uttered these
words and sobbed as II her shoestringl

the entrance to Brierton Villa the robin
| redbreasts were trilling their merriest lays
And yet, lyingt there IN the iauteuil, whose
| yelyety surface is not more soft than bel
cheek, Gladys McNulty Is sobbing away
the hours OF this beautiful Juno morning
and ever and anon there comes from'be
tween her white lips a low, dispairing moan
that Is pitiful in Its cad intensity. But
finally the c%onyulsive sops that arc rackinp
her dress.waist grow fainter and in a little
while she sits up, the pink sutfnsion Of q
blush telling all too plainly which side she
had been lying on
And as she sits there gazing listlessly
into the middle OF next week her mother,
q pleasant faced woman, enters the room,
why are you weeping, Gladys" she
asks.
The girl does not answer, and strive as
she may TO keep down the sobs that are
yelling up from her Heart the effort is in
vain and again the pretty face is bsdewed
with tears. But an instant later she has
conquered her emotions and looks brAvely
up at her mother.
"I will tell you, mamma" abe says, ''the

Education for the Coiored Youth o.
wheeling,

H
The report Of the superintend of the
Public Schools Of the city for the month OF
September places the colored school once
more very low, indeed the lowest, in at.
tendance. In the colored school the
average attendance for the month was
eighty in hundred. The lowest attend.
ance in any white school was eighty.fve
in the hundred in the Webster school, and
from that it 1uns up 10 n~inety-two in the
Richie school. No other white school
reaches higher than eighty.eight, a fact
which shows that the parents of white
children are not doing ali that they ought.
The colored school arrests attention be-
cause It stands lowest in the list and be-
cause the colored race starts behind and
has much ground to cover before it can
oyertake the white in intellectual develop
ment. We do not underrate the difficulties
in the way. We know that many colored
children are kept at school at great sacrifice
t. their parents, and we know that this
sacrifice is often made in enthusiastic de.
yotion to o sense Of duty.
Il is true that there Is but one school for
eolored children, and whatever compare
tive relation that may bear to the colored
population, the embarrassing fact remains
that the one school house is remote from
the homes of many colored children. In
this respect white children are much better
provided for, but that happens because
there arc more Of them, enough TO justify
a school house in each district. But the
colored school ia not 80 far from the home Of
any colored child that it can not be reached,
not 50 far as many white children in West
Virginia have togo to reach their school
house.
The colored schools provided with good
teachers, who have shown good results.
Superintendent Birch is asking for this
school all the appliances furnished to any
white school, and they shouldbe supplied.
The child who attends that school and
takes away all that he a get there will
have a good English education to begin
LIE With, and that Is quite as much as
the average white man or woman has.
Some Of our coIored friends do not like
to be reminded of the duty they owe to
their children, but q good itend will not
hesiateto incur a little displeasure in the
hope Of doing a greater good. Education
is the hope Of the colored race, and where
II has the opportunities it cannot afford to
neglect them.

Whether Mile Christine, the double
headed nightingale" is n person with
two heads, or two persons with q set Of
ORGANS, ia a scientific question which is
bothering the practical mind Of aChicago
landlord.
Board wsB engaged for three persons, and
along came the double-headed with her Tor
tbeir) maid and agent. The landlord
counted four Of them, because there were
twoof "her." The agent insisted that there
were but three in the party, because there
was but one Of 'them." The beli-boy, be-
lug called to the witness stand, testified
that "she ordered twice, anyway"-which
the landlord jumped at as conclusive proof
that there were two Of them.
The agent admitted the double orders,
going so far as to say that she bad two
minds-and a woman land these minds
may call for two meals and all the accom-
pantments, but he pointed triumphantly
TO the Psychological TACT that she had but
n set OF digestive organs. Since nature
has provided each person with one diges-
tive apparatus, be was able to admit that
two from one don't leave two. The land.
lord!@entu under.
But thers was a high-salaried hotel
clerk who heard the case s a court
Of last resort. He brushed away the testi.
mony Of the experts. He would not allow
Justice to be strangled with technicalities.
His opinion was modestly delivered, but it
disposed Of the case and settled forever the
great principle involved: 'seeems to be
she's two. l eat a meal at l2 o'clock and
another at one, for instance. Ihaye n set
Of digestive organs, but l am charged with
two meals" Could Solomon, or Bacon, or
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge beat that?
The Democratic party, which an in
spired writer hes termed IAN organized
appetite" desires to enter into a contract
for board at the public crib. 1t has one
vast copper-lined, double-riveted stomach,
one set Of digestive organs warranted to
make way with anything within reach,
and countless mouths that will demand a
square meal apiece.
The Chicago landlord discovered to his
cost that it is risky business making con-
tracts to board monstrosities. We are en-
couraged to believe that the country, warn.
ed by this awful example, will decline to
enter into any arrangement to board the
Mile Christine Of ~ politics. Our board.
ing house is a big affair, but there might
come q strain that would be more than it
could stand.
