SOME years ago twins were born to
Mr.. and Mrs. John Newport, colored,
vi Sodus Point, N. Y. They named
the children George Washington aud
Robert E. Lee. In 1890 triplets were
born. They were christened James
A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, and
Ulysses S. Grant. Two weeks ago
there was another birth, and the re-
suit was bankruptcies. Both father
and mother used to be republicans,
but in 1892 the father adopted the
democratic faith. So when it came
to naming the new arrivals. Brya.'s
three names were utilized, but as a
sop to the mother, who still remains
a republican. the fourth pickanniny
was named William Mckinley.
Mother and babes are doing Well.

Successful Experiments In Taking Pictures
of Electric Lighted Streets.
William A. Eddy of Bayonne, N. j.,
has discovered that photographs Of
houses and streets can be taken at
night. owing to the present extensive
use Of electric lights. The first outdoor
electric light night photograph ON rec
ord was taken by him at 9:45 on Nov.
8 and shows a faint view of the corner
of Avenue d and Fourth street, Bay
onne, followed by a clear view at 8 80
p. H.. of the corner and trees of the
grounds formerly owned by the late DR..
Payne. ~
On Nov. Is, ~ exposures were made
at Bayonne between IL p. IN. and mid
night, and on Nov. 10, between 8 D.
N. and l "a. M, 10 exposures we're taken
in New York, including views of Mad

and Herald square.
The photographs in New York show

FREE HOME LEAGUE.

A league has been organized in Okla

quired by Indian treaty or purchase by
the government PROFESSIONALLY the
settlement and development of Okla
homa is of far more Importance TO the
people and the government than is the
question of the purchase price of the
lands. But aside from that fact the
people of Oklahoma have both prece-
dent and justice on the side of their
claim. Under the free homestead act,
the timber culture act and the pre-
empJion acts the west has been sue
ceSSfully settled, cultivated and de-

policy was adopted. IL is all right that
the general government should pay the
price agreed upon TO the Indians. al
