LEITCHFIELD, KY. Nov. 22.-Hum-
ming happily, Porter Lashley, 45-year-
old Kentucky farmer, rose as usual at
$50 am. on Sunday, February %, OF
this year, rounded up six Of his we'll
washed children and brought them to
mass in Leitchfeld.
He felt simply great.
Only two days before. he had made
the last payment on the mortgage OF
his 13l-acre farm.
He was out of debt for the FIRST time
in % years, and had cash In the bank
besides.
At home, he had left . 3-year-old
daughter, 4 l0-year- old daughter with
a broken arm and his 43-year- old wife,
Beulah, who was expecting . baby in
five weeks.
At $50 am, while Mr.. Lashley was
still at his devotions, q girl was born
to Mrs. Lashley.
With the assistance of her 10-year-
old Ruth, she performed the post-natal
necessities for her newly-born infant
and lay down to rest.
The girl summoned DR.. John c. Tucker
OF Leitchfield because the Lashley fam
lily physician, DR.. w. L. Ozment, had
gone to Louisville for the day. and by
1890 pm, to her complete astonish-
ment, Mrs Lashley had given birth to
two more daughters and a son, a daugh-
ter at 10:30 am, and q boy and q girl
in rapid succession at noon.
The Lashley quadruplets had been
born. Beulah, Mildred, John and Mar
tine.
Now, between 100 and $50 people view
the quads every Sunday, and more than
1,40O paying visitors have signed the
register since they were brought back
from Louisville hospital on Labor Day

ment, which probably did more in its
time toward depicting the supply of
bivalves than any other place In the city.
On the first floor its oyster counter
was always well patronized and its bar
keepers were kept busy serving drinks
to the public, while at night the popping
of corks in the main dining room would
remind one OF miniature Fourth of
July celebration.
At the time of the death of George
W. Harvey. May 5, 1909, The Star said:
1T was in 1868 that Harvey,s steamed
oysters received their official recognition
from the Government. This recognition
came in the shape of request from
Mrs. Seward, wife of the Secretary Of
State, who asked the Harvey brothers to
prepare steamed oyster supper for
President and Mrs Lincoln. A private
room was decorated for the occasion.
President and Mrs Lincoln and Secretary
and Mrs. Seward sat down to private
steamed oyster feast
Col. Harvey. with his brother, Thomas
M. Harvey, established the restaurant
in 1856. 1t was opened first as an oyster
house. and later enlarged, until 1t became
one of the leading first-class dining
rooms of Washington. 1t attained great
success during the Civil War period and
has been successful ever since
Thomas Mast was patron of Harveys.
While at the restaurant he drew the
famous AIS Well That Ends Well'
cartoon. Several clubs have for years
made it an annual practice to meet at
Harveys. Among them are the Canvas
back Club, formed there in 1886. and the
TapeWorm Club. comprising the New
York delegation in Congress. which has
had many distinguished guests. including
Speakers Reed Henderson and Cannon.
Death of Col. Harvey
Henry Watterson. when in Washing
ton, could always be found at Harvey's.
He never dined there without insisting
that Col. Harvey sit with him For hours
the two men would discuss the old DAYS
and their superiority to those of the
present.
Col Harvey retired from business in
1906. Since that time he had been living
quietly with his family at 923 Massa-
chusetts avenue. His death removed from
Washington one of its most picturesque
characters, a man who was known by
many and liked by all who came in con-
tact with him. He was prominent in
Catholic circles, and was for years a
member of st. Patricks Church, con-
tributing generously to all its charitable
undertakings. He leaves an estate valued
at quarter of a million dollars"

Jumbo was the children's idol, and
when the news Of his unfortunate death
reached the city there were many sad
hearts and moistened eyes. Indeed. not

was exhibited. but even more so by the
children of London. thousands of whom

vailed here for some time-but The Star
thought in this respect it was about time
rQll n c ND aIi
torially to express itself, saying:
Mr.. Bsrnum is doubtless a reliable
temperance man and q most capable
Snowman, but for all that no good reason
is perceived why a platoon of mounted
policemen should be detailed to pilot
and escort his parade procession through
as safe territory as our principal streets
generally are In broad daylight. With
fair map of the city before him the
gentleman who so proudly leads the
motley column might be able to find his
way. and it is safe to suppose, also, that
tho lions, tigers, elephants, etc, could
take care of themselves in the event Of
a sudden raid by the multitudinous small
boy who helps swell the pageant 1t is
on such occasions that burglars and
sneak thieves ply their trade in other
parts of the city and it Is precisely at
such times that the police force should
be strengthened instead of weakened on
its regular beats. It is notorious that the
number Of policemen in Washington is
far too small for legitimate service, but
it is quite time to stop the dangerous
folly of detailing them for ornamental
appendages to street parades and for
special duty at the front doors OF Gov
ernment officials"
