in Boston, the bootblacks and newsboys
are licensed. Each bootblack has his stand,
which is located in a place where it will not in
terfere with the convenience OF the public. The
issuing of licenses is done in the most syste-
matte manner. No license is issued to any boy
who does not attend school during some portion
of the day, and those who do not attend the
public schools are required to attend the news
boys school at least two hours each day. A
very large portion, nearly all, in fact, of tho
boys who apply for licenses are members OF the
public schools of the city. Each boy receives
leather badge to be worn on his hat or cap
while pursuing his occupation. This badge
contains the word Licensed" and also the
number Of his license in polished letters. The
bootblacks also have the letter ''B" upon their
badges. The boys are not required to pay
anything for their licenses. but for their badges
they pay 81 25, which will be refunded when
required, if properly used. Arecord is kept OF
all the boys licensed, with their age, the school
they attend, and the officer who has charge Of
their district. The applications for newsboys'
licenses are very numerous, and it is thought
that probably three hundred will be issued be-
fore all are supplied.

beautiful daughters Of our wealthiest families

lains and carried away. This morning Inez de

nat;c. Her hair had been shaven, her breasts
cut open, and her person violated, and reason
dethroned through her suferings. She was
nearly naked. On her was found letter from
Chavez, saying that unless SOC. 900 in gold was
sent to his camp in the mountains west OF
Guadalajara, al OF the other five ladies' would
be similarly treated. The money was sent,
and after Chavez received it-and it had TO be
carried to him on mule With single ser-
yant-he and his companion fends tel upon
the ladies and outraged them. They then led
them on to mules and left them in charge OF
the servant who brought them the money.
