MOTHER OF QUADRUPLETS
California Legislature Asked to Vote
Her
Sacramento, Cal., March 29. —'High
tribute is paid to the Shasta county
woman who a few days ago gave birth
to four children in a resolution pre
sented by Senator Scott, of San Fran
cisco, who further asks that the State
Legislature vote $5,000 for the hum
ble parents of these quadruplets, who
have raised nine other youngsters.
Scott's resolution, which is consid
ered by other Senators as being decid
edly unique, is as follows:
"Whereas. Mis. C. O. McKnight,
wile ot a Shasta county farmer, has
now added to the glory of this State
by giving birjth to four children at
one time, thereby increasing her pro
geny to thirteen and adding four
prospective citizens good and true to
the population of the State; and
"Whereas, the said Mrs. McKnight
has followed out the Scriptural man
date and has been fruitful and multi
plied beyond the wildest dreams of ex
pectation; and
"Whereas, the said Mrs. McKnight
has by deed instead of mere empty
words declared a refutation of the
theory that race suicide prevails in
the State of California; and
"Whereas, the husband of the said
Mrs. McKnight is engaged in the in
dustry of farming and in spite of the
fruitfulness of the soil the acreaige of
his farm is inadequate to support so
numerous progeny; now, therefore,
be it
"Resolved, By the Senate, the As
sembly concurring, that the Finance
committee be instructed to draw up
and report a bill providing for an ap
propriation of $5.00'0 to be presented
to the said Mrs. Mi-Knight in recogni
tion of the great boon which she has
conferred on the State of California."

a depression in the fence corner. Her
clothing and shoes were covered with
mud in a way to indicate that a strug
gle had taken place before she was
overcome.

History of the Family tfame
Mr. Lamberton, in explaining the
origin of the family name, several years
ago wrote the following:
"The name Lamberton, which oc
curred in the middle of the twelfth
century, is derived from the parish
of Lamberton, in Berwickshire, Scot
land. which in turn is derived from
the name of a Saxon, Lambert, w-ho
settled there about the time of the
Norman conquest, giving his name to
the 'tun' or village, whence 'Lam
bert's 'tun' and 'Lamberton.' In its
earliest form the name was 'de Lam
berton.' William de Lamberton, one
of the most famous of the name, who
in the last part of the thirteenth
century was made bishop of St. An
drews, Scotland, and was the tried
friend of Sir William W'allace and
Robert Bruce."
On the side of his mother, who was
the daughter of the late William Bueh
ler, of this city, Mr. Lamberton was
descended from Lieutenant Henry
Buehler, who was an officer in the
French and Indian wars and the War
of the Revolution, and whose father
came in 1737 from the Rhenish Pro
vince of Prussia aud settled at War
wick, now Lititz, Pa., and from Nich
olas Snider, who came to this country,
from Germany, in 1755, and setcied in
Chambersburg, Pa.

"Within the Law"
' The minimum wage question and re-
Cfnt agitation thereupon play an impor
tant part in 'Within the Law," which
will be seen at the Majestic Wednes
day, matinee and evening. The heroine
<Sf Bayard Veiller's melodrama is a
poor shop girl, underpaid and underfed,
who, after serving three years in pris
on for an offense that she did not com
mit, and trying vainly to obtain decent
employment, becomes the head of a
band of "crooks" and with their as
sistance takes her revenge upon society..
As the lender of "Joe Garson," the
forger; "Knglish Eddie Griggs," a
I thief; "Aggie Lynch," an amusing lit
. tie (blackmailer, and ether confeder
ates, "Mary Turner" oibtains enormous
sums of money, but manages always to
keep "Within the Law."
She even hires a lawyer to help her
evade wrongdoing w'hich is punishable.
It is curious to "earn, as one does in
this play, that there are many fornif
of crime which are practically legal.
Another interesting feature ,of the
drpma is the introduction of a Maxim
silencer, which is shown in this pJay
for the first time on any stage. It is
a device by "Much a revolver may be
fired without producing a report of any
kind. How "Joe Garson" makes use
of this formidable gun is a point of
pivotal interest in working out of the
plot. "Within the Law" is in four
acts and there are more thrills to tihe
situations of the act than were ever be
fore written into one drama by any
author. Well-known names of players
will be seen here in Mr. Veiller's ab
sorbing play. Cla>-a Joel, the charm
ing young actress, will assume the role
of Mary Turner, the shop girl heroine.

At the Orpheum
The extraordinary engagement of
Henrietta Crosman in vaudeville will
undoubtedly be appreciated by Harris
burg theatregoers, who on every hand
seem to be highly pleased at the fact
that she will be at the Orpheum this
week. Miss_Crosman and her excellent
company will present here splendid
playlet, "Thou Shalt Not Kill," which
liaß received so much praise in all the
metropolitan vaudeville theatres. In
cidentally Miss Crosman's engagement
at the Orpheum this week will give
Harrisburg amusement seekers their
first opportunity to see this distin
guished player at popular prices. Her
vaudeville vehiisle is declared by critics
to be wonderful. They even say it
would be an unusual uehievement with
out the delightful personality of Miss
Crosman, which makes it additionally
attractive. A screeching comedy hit
of the bill will be the black face come
dy turn to be offered by Swor and
Mack, two of the most clever and most
popular artists in the realm of black
cork. Mr. and Mrs. .Tack McGreevy,
the celebrated "rural" character art
ists, will likely give Swor and Mack a
race for comedy honors. Milo, the
great surprise artist; Diamond and
Grant, the aged dancers, in a wonderful
exhibition of ball room dances; Will
and Kemp, and Berger and Berger will
contribute two other interesting fea
tures to the week 'g new bill. Adv.*
At the Colonial
Arthur Lavine and company, pre
senting "From Coney Island to the
North Pole," by all odds the most gi
gantic musical comedy yet seen at the
Busy Corner, will appear there as the
bright particular feature of the bill for
the first half of the week. Two sets
of special scenery, a bevy of beautiful
girls and many changes of attractive
wardrobe make this tuneful comedy
playlet a rare vaudeville treat. Three
other Keith acts of the usual Colonial
standard will appear in support of this
mammoth attraction. Interesting fea
ures in moving pictures will also be
included in the performance. Adv.*

"The Ghost Broa'ker" is truly re

I ordinarily associated with the Romantic

I it is so localized that it contrives to
lb® convincing in spite of the most ex

of 't'he play travels from Old World of

Movies at the Victoria Under the Most

With the added attractions which
the country's best and most up-to-date
motion picture theatres, among them
the Victoria of this city, are offering
the public is bound to come a wonder
ful increase in .the number of persons
who seek this form of entertainment.
The recent installation of a new Hope-
Jones Unit Pipe Organ Orchestra for
the Victoria at a cost of $25,000 is the
latest feature of the motion picture
business to be introduced in Harris
burg. Few cities in the country can
boast of such a wonderful instrument,
where one can enjoy its sweet and
ever pleasing musical strains, at such
low prices. Mr. Albert Hay Mayott(»,
a player of marked ability, who op
erates the Victoria's great pipe organ
has been receiving bnthusiastic ap
plause at every performance. His man
ner of handling this wonderful instru
ment makes "seeing the movies" at

RACE CULTIVATION
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
By Samuel <>. Dixon, M. D., li.
D., Commissioner of Health
>————•———
To maintain the highest decree of
physical health, it must be accompan
ied by a healthy brain. One that can
work out its own problems in early
intercourse with the rest of mankind,
a:nd co-operate for the preservation of
its own species. This is a law of na
ture.
The Teutonic writers would have us
believe that war is necessary to keep
up the prosperity of a healthy nation,
claiming that the whole scheme of na
ture is to live on itself. This, however,
in a mistake. Cannibalism is rare and
! unnatural.
The self-preservation of species
means the united effort of individuals
to that end. When one begins to live
on one's self, death follows.
To modify a common but true say
ing, dog cannot eat dog. War kills (ill
the healthy and breeds death.
In these days of advanced health
measures, children should be taught
to take plenty of out-door physical
| exercise, but it should not he brutal
in character. Their sports should tend
to cultivate control, temperate
thoughts and kindness.
As war brings pestilence the high
er education should not teach the
Teutonic interpretation of the laws .of
mature, but that it will lead to the
self-destruction of the species.
Wars must cease as man overcomes
(he brute side of his nature, although
he may be trained in tho science of
war without becoming brutal. In this
twentieth century all questions be
tween natioins will have to be settled
by international courts. The prtxent
war is counteracting the results of
great health laws that have been en
forced by spreading communicable dis
ease and killing off the able bodied
members of the belligerent nations.
To attain the highest degree of
health, militarism must be crushed.
