Freak Names for F%oundIings.

Freak names for foundlings in this
city ended with the recent anti-negro
riot in the Tenderloin- The DAY after
that event two f~oundlings were k
from h streets. superintendent
Blair, of the Outdoor Poor department,
named one Sarah White n the other
Joseph Black. One was christened as
a Roman Catholic. the other a Protes-
tant. The next day the order against
circumstantial names was issued and
the first name under the new sytem
was bestowed upon Irene Brown. As
a rule, the names given lave been
very conserE~-.~, but occasional atroc-
tiles have been committed. The one
that caused the uproar was the giving
Of the name Virginia Broiler to a baby

Rebecca Wet and Julia Sieet are two

OF the parentage CT the little ones.
With the exception of these three, Su-
perintendent Blair says no child has
n reason to complain. He defends
Wet and Sleet, but he admitted to a
reporter that he had done wrong in
naming Virginia Broiler. He added,
however: Almost every child that is
healthy Is adopted before it's TWO
years residence on Randalr's Island is
competed. Ldttle MISS Broiler is a fine
baby, and will no doubt find a good fos-
ter parent, and her name will be
changed at nee on adoption.
I think h method of naming from
circumstances attending their discovery
is a rood one. 1t has been in practice
for two years Before I adopted II /

little Russell Sage, Cornelius Wander

pody objected to the use of these
names"
