THE STATE or OKLAHOMA.
The Claims Made by the Territory'z Go
ernor and Likelihood of Its Admission.

The Claims Made by the Territory'z Gov
ernor and Likelihood of lis Admission.
The Oklahoma statehood convention
assem- bled in Kingfsher will appeal to
congress at the opening of the session
for the admission of the territory into
the Union as a state The governor of
the territory furnished the convention
with statistics to justify the claim for
statehood. He estimates the population
of the territory, including the Chero-
kee strip, at 251, 600, and he sustains
this estimate in way which is not
wholly unsatisfactory. The value of the
taxable property of the territory is Civ
en- as $14, 600, 900, and the territorial
government is free from debt. There
are several hundred churches in the ter
ritory; there are 80 banks; there are
public schools, and there have been
2,372, 900 acres of farming land taken
up. The various kinds of grain grow
there and the ordinary kinds of fruit.
Cotton also can be grown. Oklahoma, "
says Governor Renfrow, possesses vast
resources, and, with its genuine Ameri-
can inhabitants, it will make a state
equal f. any other in the Union"
If tlS governor S estimate of the pop
ulation of the territory is correct. Okla
homa is entitled to admission into the
Union as a state. In his estimate, hsw-
ever, the people who settled upon the
Cherokee strip few months ago are in
cluded, and the strip is not part of
the territory of Oklahoma. 1t belongs
properly to the territory, and it must be
united Herewith before the bill for the
admission of Oklahoma can be passed
through congress.
We observe that Secretary Smith Of
the interior department makes no refer
ence to this fact in his report, when ex-
pressing the hope that "OklahOma may
speedily assume the responsibilities of
statehood" 1t will undoubtedly, how
ever, be brought to the notice Of con-
gress. New York Sun.

WILLING TO HOLD THE BABY.
Mr.. Gilbert Obliged a Smiling Young wom-
an, Who at Once Left the Train

an, Who at Once Left the Train.
Abraham Gilbert is a worthy citizen
of the neighboring village of Branch
vile. He is married and the father of a
small family On Thursday, while re-
turning in the train from Danbury, he
noticed among his fellow passengers a
young and rather attractive woman, ap-
parently widow, who held in her arms
a handsomely dressed infant about 5
months old.
As the train slowed up for the stop at
Bethel the woman asked Mr.. Gilbert if
ne would be so kind as TO hold her baby
while she spoke TO friend who was to
be at the station. Mr.. Gilbert Jumped
at the chance, for he is very fond of
pretty babies, and while the train waited
he dandled the youngster on his knee,
called it little tootsy wootsy and sad
ly disarranged its fine apparel.
The train started. and Mr. Gilbert pre-
pared to surrender his charge, but the
mother did not appear. Mr.. Gilbert was
certain that she had missed the train by
accident and that she was at that min
ute fretting herself almost TO death about
the cLlIu, DuI the O1lleI anu more expert
enced travellers smiled grimly and con-
cluded that Mr. Gilbert was the victim
of an old trick. When the train reached
Branchville, Mr.. Gilbert tried to get the
train hands to assume the custody of the
child, but they asserted that there was
nothing in the rules and regulations Of
the road that compelled them to so,
and nothing remained fOr Mr.. Gilbert
but TO take the baby home and place it
among his own. He did so, and the lit
tie stranger is in excellent hands.
The child is a boy. The woman was
handsomely dressed and wore a veil
which almost completely hid her fea-
lures. No effort has been made to find
her.-Norwalk Conn., Dispatch.
