Washington, Oct. 12. Land
CoiiimiiSMonur Grot! lias rendered
a decision in the cawe of Mrs. Har
ris, formerly a resident of Mitchell,
Dakota, land district.
It appears from the testimony
that iff -July, .ItfSo. ...Mrs. Harris,
then a resident of the state ol Ohio,
went to Dakota to yieit, and while
there took up eighty acres adjoin
ing a tract recently entered by
Michael Barr. she purchased a
house and had it moved on her
claim, broke un acre of mm! mid
made other improvements. At
that time, she says in her testi
mony, she had no intention of mar
rying Mr. Barris. But later they
were married, when they moved
their houses upon the ground to
gether, on the line, like one house.
They tu .1 married, and Barris put
his bed, stove, table, etc., in his
house, and she put her bed, stove,
table, etc. in hei s. There was no
meetings between them when in
separate parts of tfie house except
by goirg outside, each having an
outside door. She testified that
she was acting on fact in filing the
entry, not knowing much about
aw at the time, and having no
understanding about the Barris
family. That she complied with
the same law fully.
Mrs. Barns' claim is rejected o:i
the ground that husband and wife
cannot maintain separate residence
at the same time and in the same
house so that each by view of said
residence may iierfect an entry
under the the homestead law. It
is said that there are a number of
cases reported in the geneial oflice
similar in particulars to that ol
Mrs. Barris.

How a I.ittle;irl Crossed the Conti
nent A Strang. St.ry.
New Beinswkk (N. J.), Ot 10
The Oversr.er of Poor of this place
bas in his charge- a yr-hng girl w ith
history thai would do credit to a pio-
tssional tramp, consisting as it does
of a long series of hardships in her
life on the load, the girl, who says
her name is Mary Keper, is barely 12
years old. She was found crying on
the street yesterday and she presented
a very pitiable appearance. She wai
clad in a thin giagham dress and
wore no hat, sh.es or stockings. Her
complexion, naturally dark, was
bronzed by exposure to the hue of an
Indian, The tears cursing down her
cheeks plowed little inrr.ws in tbe
grim, of her face.
A w.nan, toucheuby the child s
gri.f, questioned her, and, amid sobs,
the girl told her she was from Cali
fornia and for two years had been
tramping east, eating and sleeping as
f.itune directed, She was fed and
warm clothing and a bath given liar,
which effected quite a transformation
in her appearance, and sh would be
considered passably good looking
were is not for her gaunt appearance
At the police station Mary said that
her father, John Keper, had died hre
years ago in California. Her mother,
who, who was a c.usumptive, did not
lotg survive the shock and she too
died leaving Mary to the care ef her
aunt. Within the year the aunt oied
also aal for the following two years
Mary was cared for by neighbors, for
whoai she did such work as her youth
would permit and which at times was
far in excess ot her strength
She had just passed her tenth birth
day when it occured to her to run
away and come East, with no definite
object in view. Oue fine day she
hopped ou a freight train and bejau
her long journey. She said that the
brakemen, as a rule, were very Lind
tu her, aud gave her fool and a place
to sleep in the cars, but there were
s-tnie who c'.iasvl her from the cars,
and many a weary mile she trampd
until another traiu would happen
alone: During these tramps she
begged food, sometimes sleeping at
night in a haystack or a barn, and at
other times in a good, warm bed,
when some hospitable farmer would
take her iu. At many places she
stopped for weeks at a time, helping
a farmer s wife in housework and re
ceiving instructions in cooking, so
that now bhe is qui'e a housekeeper,
and boasts of her skid iu making bis
cuits. After teveral weeks of quiet
farm life the old desire for travel
would come upon her, and she would
depart and resume her journey.
It was nearly two years after leav
ing her California frieads that she
cctered the quite Jersey ton a of
North Branch. There she remained
several days, subsisting on charity.
On Saturday she boarded a coal train
at Elizabeth, and fr.m that place to
New Brunswick she r.de and walked,
arriring here in a c.ndition of desti
tution. Although thin, the child has
a wonderful constitution, else the
hardships and privations she has en
dured would have caused her d.ath
long ago.

UNITED AMERICA.
The Probable Benefits of the Con
gress of Western Nations.
ITS AVOKLl-WIIK ATTENTION
Even tb Je. I ms British Press Admits That
It Will H-vj Important Results
Nsts? of the Confers.
Tbe people of other nations than
the Uoited States have taken &
deep iiterest in the congress of
American nations, which is now on
a tour through this country. The
London Times says touching this
Pau-Amcrican congress.
That the delegates will derivo
pieasur.'aud instruction from the
visit is certain. They will be
treated with lavish hospitality.
They will be taken in a hotel upea
wheels about the country. They
will see its industrial wonders, its
natural beauties and universities,
charitable institutions, and a
thousand other objects that pro
claim the wealth - and rigorous
enterprise of tbe United States.
Should the delegates return home
eo soon as they have completed
their round of hospitality, without
an hour's discussion or passing a
single resolution, the International
Congress will not have been held in
vain.
It is agreed that purely political
questions will be avoided; ne':
that there is any danger or dread
of trouble. There may be harm
less unexciting talk about arbitra
tion, a common silver coin and the
extradition ol criminals; we shall
bear much of the Panama and
Nicaragua canal routes, but the dis
cussions must turn chiefly on fiscal
matters. Indeed, the only clearly
expressed hope aoout the congress
is that it will promote trade b -tween
these countries. How
strange, it is said, that countries
geographically near should have
comparatively little intercouise.
What might "not be done by a few
subsidized lines of steamers plying
between New York and Rio,
Buenos At res, and Valparaiso
Above all what might not be s .
complished by an American
zollverein or the establishment of a
system of reciprocity among Amer
ican nations.
This last is the chief hepe ex
pressed by Mr. Blaine's friends. If
the congress has any definite object
it is to establish reciprocity. The
bject is a ciptivating one etcn
questions of reciprecity in the a"
stract but giving effect to it ii
encompassed with difficulties. We
shall be curious to see bow they
arc deaitjwith by the protectionist
members.! of General Harrison's
Cabinet. Tbe manufacturers who
have been talking of capturing
South American trade wi:l say:
"Why go to Europe for manu
factured joods? We can supply
you as cheaply at all events if Con
gress will subsidize a few lines to
compete witL the ubiquitous Eng
lish steamers."
The representatives from Buenos
Ayres and Valparaiso who know
their own interests and are able to
take care of themselves will reply :
"You must in return concede to us
the only thing worth conceding,
oar.wool must enter your ports
freely. The present ad valoiem
duty most be abated." This raises
sharply the whole question of the
policy of protection.
We admit that even it no com
mercial reciprocity is established
the congress may have important
consequences extending beyond the
present horizon. It bas been the
dream of not a few American states
men thtt their country might
possess a ser of hegemony over the
. .
whole continent
lo a famous
the influence exeicised by the
United States upon the birth of the
young states of the South. They
had copied ber institutions; they
bad consulted her experience, an;?,
as he said in his large and fervid
way, tbey "had looked in every
emergency to the great northern
light."
American statesmen have been
prone to believe that this morai
ascendancy might be continued,
and none among them in recent
