CLEAEING UP DEBEIS. A large gang of laborers at work with pick and shovel, loading carts with debris from recent fire on Lexington Avenue, New York City.

Very exciting. Sharp and clear. POLICE CALL ANSWEEED. The same patrol wagon and squad returning with prisoner, going by the point at which camera was placed at great speed.

Showing a little girl tickling her papa with a straw, who is endeavoring to read a newspaper.

Very sharp and fin e for coloring. NATIONAL DANCE. By Babe Johnson. BOSEBUD DANCE. By Babe Johnson. TOUGH DANCE. By Babe Johnson.

This scene shows President McKinley pulling the cord unveiling the monument, and presents a fine view of same as the three large American flags used in the ceremony slowly fall to the ground. Sharp and clear. Mc KIM.KY AT PHILADELPHIA. This subject shows the President and the trustees of the statue crossing from the monument to the oration stand after the unveiling ceremonies. S. S.
