Important Homestead Ruling.

Denver.-A ruling affecting home

the statute, entrymen must take up
residence on their claims within six
months from the date of entry. Some
title on proof of residence for a period
OF the six months to build and take
up actual residence. It has been the
practice in the land offices to give
these entrymen the credit for the
whole six months just as though they
had begun their residence fight after
date OF entry. AS the statute pro.

OF five years.
The acting secretary says this prac'
tice Is erroneous and notifies land Of.
flee registers and receivers that the
period of five years required before
patent is secured must date from the
day actual residence Is taken up on
the claim. not from the day entry was
made.

Charleston, S. C.-Reports from.
Charleston and surrounding country
bring the list of dead as a result of
the terrific storm up to fifteen. Thi;
list is expected to be enlarged when
reports are received from the more re-
mote islands.
Conservative estimates continue to
place the property damage in the
neighborhood of $1,OOO,OOO, despite the
interests continue to roll in.
Charleston rests tranquil under clear
skies. The streets are strewn with
wreckage and uprooted trees. The wa
ter front is in many places dismantled,
many wharves being ruined.
No reports have come in as yet to
throw light on the damage to crops
in the region between Charleston and
Savannah and on the sea islands. 1t
is feared. however. that the cotton and
rice crops have been dealt stagger-
ing blow.

battles fought with the sea as the re-

coast. Only one ship in the Savannah
coast territory suffered injury, howev-

How This Great System Swallows Up
the Litter Of the Streets.
The Paris sewer system Is said to be
the finest in the world. The observant
visitor In the French capital soon
notices that Its people have somewhat
different ideas from ours as to the use
of sewers, for he will see porters throw
big bundles of paper down large open
ings left In the curb. and even rags
and garbage.
On Shrove Tuesday there Is car
nival along the Paris boulevards.
From noon to midnight the crowd
throws paper confetti in such guam
titles that the broad streets are COW
cred with many tinted paper snow
when the last revelers leave for home
The visitor wonders how this mess Is
to be cleared up. In the morning, how
ever every scrap Is gone. IL he had
stayed out late enough he would have
seen the litter swept and washed right
into the sewers.
Perhaps that takes him underground
to visit them, one Of the sights OF
Paris. There are nearly 1000 separate
channels, some great aqueducts nayi-
gated in boat. with walks on either
side. They carry the telephone and
telegraph cables, electric light wires,

been the accepted law that parties to

within six months after the DEGREES
have been made, but it appears from
the decision Of Justice Bean that this

According to Justice Bean it is a
well accepted principle of law, that

where the issue goes by detault--there
can be no appeal The law reads
that marriage is barred during The
