VAN DORM WINS HIS CASE.
Court Gives Aged AfrO-Amsfiean clear
Title 20 His Property.

ANAAN - ~
Justice Asphalt Of the Queens coun-
" supreme court, New York, has de
cided that Primus Van Dorm. an aged
Afro-American. is entitled to his home,
which he has owned for forty-four
years In Jamaica, n. Y.
The land In question consists OF four
and a quarter acres and Is valued at
$4,000. Mr.. Van Dorm paid $50 for IL
IN 1896. He Is now IN the eighty
eighth year Of his age. BE is the son
Of a slave who was set free BY his
master In New Jersey and who after
ward moved out on Long Island.
The family settled In the Springfield
section, which was then almost in the
heart Of q wilderness. midway be
tween Jamaica and Far Rockaway.
The family continued to reside on
the place, and in 1856 young Van
Dorm, then Of age, married and pur-
chased a plot from John Conselyea.
The deed conveyed one and a quarter
acres, more or less. The boundary
was a little stream which has since
dried up.
As the years went by and the small
water barrier was removed Van Dorm.
who was engaging in farming pur-
suits, was a little careless Of the
amount Of land be cultivated. No one
told him to stop, and he worked sec
ton containing nearly five acres. he
testified that he has held adverse pos
session ever since. and IN this be was
corroborated by others.
No one paid attention to him, be
cause the land was not considered
worth while bothering about Recent
", however, all the section around has
been developed. and the value OF the
land rose.
Then some Of the heirs Of the former
John Conselyea decided to evlct Mr..
Van Dorm and gain possession Of the
land; but. having held it so long, he
fought back.
In the case that was submitted to
the court all the facts were agreed
upon. and It left but a question Of law
for the court to decide to whom the
property belonged.

THERE rs NO GIFT IN THE RE-

REPUBLIC.
From a Speech Of Hon. William Sui
ger, Of New York, In the House
Of Representatives.

Recently, Congressman William
Sulzer Of New York, eloQuently spoke
in part as follows, while introducing
mis- measure, in behalf Of the old SOL
diers who saved the union during the
slave holders rebellion in 1851 and
1865.
Mr.. Sulzer said:
introduced this bill because / am
a friend Of the soldiers who saved
the Union, and I want to reward them
while they live. Nobody here can
ever say, and nobody outside Of these
halls viii ever be able to say, that
during the sixteen years I have been
a Member of this House ever voted
against a bill in the interests Of the
soldiers and sailors who saved the
Union. This is a rich country; this
is a great country; this is the grand
Republic; and it is all 50 to q very
large extent on account Of what the
brave and gallant men who marched
from the North did in the great strug-
gle for the Union. We owe them a
debt Of gratitude We never can pay,
and gratitude, my friends, is the fair
est flower that sheds its perfume in
the human heart We should be CRATE

great war TO a successful end. 1
