The Newsboys' Entertainment.

THEY ENJOY TWO SPEECHES, A BANJO SOLO
AND A STEREOPTICoN EXHIBITION.
No stereopticon exhibitor ever had more en-
thusiastic audience than was assembled last
night at the entertainment for the newsboys
and bootbacks, given by the Newsboys' Aid
society. About tour hundred youngsters as
sembled in the hall and were first put through
vocal drill by Mr. Bradford, who undertook
to get them to sing Hold the Fort" Mr.. B. II.
Warner. who presided, made a brief address to
the boys. pointing out examples of men who
had started as newsboys and become rich and
influential Mrs: ID. r. James, president of the
the society intended TO help the boys who
wanted to get an education or step up to a
higher place in every way it could. Miss Minnie
Crawford played a banjo solo, which created
even more enthusiasm among the boys than
the speeches. They would not be satisfied till
she had given another performance on the
lights turned down, saying to the boys
fthere is any noise we will have the lights
turned up and sing the doxology." This notice
had the effect of keeping the boys very quiet.
Mr.. B. z. Murray then gave a stereOptfcOn ex-
hibitiOn, which delighted the youthful audi
ence. Now. and then when a particularly at
tractive picture was shown on the canvas boys
here and there whispered "Ain't that daisy?"
and other remarks of a similar character, indf-
eating their great pleasure. When one picture
OF young man and girl in swing in q very
affectionate attitude was shown one boy, un-
aple to restrain himself longer, shouted: "Lem-
onade for two" During the entertainment the
boys preserved, as rule, the best Of order, and
it was not found necessary to sing the threat
cned doXology. At the close of the exhibition
"The Newsboys Debt" and the gathering dis
persed. member of the society told STAR
reporter that the society was looking into the
home surroundings OF the boys. In some cases
they found that their people were very COM
fortably situated. In other homes, however
they found the greatest destitution. and i'm such
cases they were aiding them SO far they
could by obtaining employment for members
of the destitute family.

A Demoralized Southern City.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. l9.- Chicago Times
Special. THE demoralized condition of the
police force of this city has resulted in a very
bad outbreak of hoodlumism of late and in
many Outrages and exccsses. The mayor has
frequently called the attention of the police
board to the inefficiency of the force, and has
made many efforts to improve it. The chief
of police is now under suspension and on
trial forviolaton of the law and neglect of
duty, and the force seems incapable of keep
ing order. There have been number of
rlfiianly outbreaks, and two last night were
particularly conspicuous, and have aroused a
great deal of indignation.
At a ball given at Spanish Fort by the
Young Sons of Louisiana, an organization of
boys, and where the ball room was crowded
with women and children, party of hood
lumS became involved in u quarrel with one
of the officers In charge, and opened lire on
him and on the crowd, discharging over 4
dozen shots, slightly wOunding the officer,
shooting Edward Rooney, a spectator, in the
leg and fatally wOunding Robert Diamond.
another spectator. The officer was chased
from the grounds and the hOOdlums arrested
with great difficulty.
At the same time up town William Reagan
and Chris lIyland, getting into trouble with
him and the family, cleaned out the estab.
lishment and held possession of the neigh
bOrhoOd for some hours, firing right and left
on the streets, and rendering il dangerous
for people OF the neighbOrhood to leave their
residences.
In both instances the hoodlums were
drunk. These and other eXcesscs have

The announcement is published to-day that
the Burlington will soon make an important
extension OF its system west of the Missouri
river. The proposed line will start from
Omaha, rln northwesterly to Custer county,
connecting with the Grand Island and Cen
tral line. Articles of incorporation have
een.iled at Lincoln. General Manager Hol-
dreSc, of the Burlington and Missouri, says
in regard to ii, "we have secured our articles
OF Incorporation, and We propose to submit
the scheme to our directors in Boston, who
have not as yet approved Of il. If we can Sc
cure their consent the road will soon be an
assured fact"
Inquiry ut the general Office of the Bur
lingt0n at this point bears out the accuracy of
the above. The Burlington people consider
the section mentioned as good territory to
build into and believe the road will be con
structed as marked out. Elsewhere the move
is interpreted as u double drive at the North
western and Missouri Pacinc, both of which
are going into Lincoln. which Is Burlington

Tribune Special. The Associated press re-
Gently contained dispatches from the City of
Mexico stating that negotiations are in pro-
greSs designed TO establish free trade between
the United States and Mexico. Careful in
quiry both at the Mexican legation and at the

he knew nothing whatever Of any such
negotiations, and that he attached no import
ancc TO the story and ccrtlinly did not credit
i. lie did not know, he said what the
United States minister in Mexico mi ght have
done or suggested, but he did not for a mo-
ment think that such a proposition had ever
been entertained ~ either government, and

such negotiations? The reciprocal treaty be-
tween the two governments was ratned BY
the United States senate, hut congress has
tailed u put IL into effect, although il had q
very long time 10 do il in. Free traders and
