FOUR LITTLE DE GROoTEs.
The Quartette of Little Yankees Who
Came to Spend Christmas.


From the Netc York Sun.
MILBURY. MASS, Dec 23-This ordina-
rily sleepy New England village is just
now on tip-toe of excitement over the sud-
den and unexpected arrival of four strang-
ers who made their appearance in town a
few days ago. The strangers are four girl
babies who were born to the wife of Frank
De Groote at single sitting. The mother
is German woman who was born in New
York, and already had five children before
she so unexpectedly drew four queens.
Mrs. De Groote was spending the day
with her mother, Mrs. Nudick. few
blocks away from her own home, when she
was taken ILL., A doctor was called, but be
fore he arrived five-pound girl baby was
born, 1t was a pretty little thing with
brown hair and big blue eyes that looked
out wonderingly upon the small dark room
where 1t was born.
Another GIRL" said Mrs. Nudick.
When the doctor raped at the door a
second girl was born. 1t weighed 4s4
sounds, and looked as much like its prede.
ceSsor as one twin looks like another.
ut is twins, DOCTOR" remarked Mrs.
Nudick, as she helped him to take Off his
overcoat,
why, bless me, she is doing nicely" was
the doctors reply.
When they again entered the room an
other girl the third of the series, had been
born. 1t weighed Al pounds and belonged
to the same family as those who had come
before
"Triplets," said the doctor
"Oh, dear, what will Anna do, and what
will Frank sayp was Mrs. Nudicks obser-
walton. Before these questions were settled
the fourth and last chapter in this romance
of girls was given to the world, and then
even the cool and experienced doctor grew
excited.
BLESS my SOUL" said he, 81 wonder if
there are any more7"
But no more came. 1t was the last and
least of the lot, and, on the whole, was one
Of the smallest babies that ever visited this
earth. The length of its body from heel to
crown was 1112 inches. The weight was
just three pounds. Its head was about a,
big as good-sized orange, and its fingers
were no bigger than the claws of an English
sparrow. They hastily wrapped it in some
soft. warm goods. and placed it on pillow
for fear it would get lost in the creased
foldings of the bed.
Anna, you have got four nice little
girls, said her mother.
"And four and five make nine. Oh.
dearp answered Mrs. De Groote with q
worried look.
Not expecting SO much company, Mrs.
De Groote had not made sufficient prepare.
tons for entertaining her guests, but kind
neighbors and deft fingers soon supplied
the lack, and on the arrival of the proud
father they were all dressed in nice white
clothing and holding reception in the rig
front room.

GREAT FIRE In BALTIMORE.

Baltimore was visited early Sun
day morning by probably the worst
lire it ever saw. Nearly whole
block, bounded by Lombard and
Pratt, Sharp and Hanover streets,
was swept away. A large number
OF big business houses were destroy.
ed with all their stock, and the to.
tai loss will foot up over a million OF
dollars. Worst OF all, seven fire.
men met their death by being
caught under falling walls. They
were thus hemmed in, and when
their burned and blackened bodies
were taken from the ruins they were
almost unacceptable. They were
all members of No. 7 Engine Com.
pany or No.. 2 Truck. Five of the
bodies were recovered.
The walls we're blown down by
the explosion OF powder and cart
ridges in hardware store. The
firemen we're crushed in the ruins
and some had their limbs burned of.
Men worked night and day to get
to their bodies. Their sufferings
must have been terrible. They
leave families, and several of them
infant children and sick and desti-
tute wives. 1t is noble work to
aid them.

been fortunate in her choice of a
husband, for Jacobs proved to be
excessively lazy and shittless, doing
almost nothing for the support of
his wife and the round-faced little
children.
Several years after her marriage
