''juvenile" authors. and Sunday school
orators have said and written much.
But no amount of labor with this
topic has ever solved the problem
whether that evolution was the result
of Unborn qualities or just pure luck.
No attempt will be made to solve it
here. This is only collection of true
stories about the rise of a half dozen
well-known men to positions of promi
nence.
Among the great statesmen of the
past who once were newsboys can be
found such distinguished men as Silas
Wright. Thurlow Weed. Daniel Man
ming and John Kelly. But am deal
ing with the living rather than the
dead in the present article, and in my
opinion the best known of all news
boys now alive are theiex-governor and
present United States senator for New
Ter, of Connecticut, Lieut.. Gov. William
F. Sheehan, aof New York, ex-senator
Michael c. Murphy, of New York, Con-
gresham Timothy J. Campbell, and
last but not least Assemblyman Tim
othy Dry Dollar Sullivan. of the Sec
ond district of New York. A birds
eye view of their newsboy days cannot
but prove interesting.
David 3. Hill, senior senator for New
York. and a determined, persistent
candidate for presidential honors, was
ambitious from the cradle. Left ia
therless when almost an infant, the
youngest of five children, whose moth
er was compelled to exc out subsist-
ence from a heavily mortgaged farm
near Elmira. he easily learned what it
was to hustle" When a boy Of but
eleven years he left his mothers farm
to make his way in life. With eight
dollars in his pocket he came to SYRIA
cuse to see what fortune might have
in store for him. BY good luck he ran
across Dean Richmond, then head of
the famous Albany Regency" and the
president of the New York Central
road He Immediately struck" the
great man for lob"
"Why. my lad, what can you do?"
asked the dean of the Central kindly.
''You are only baby. We need men
to work this road"
81 can sell papers and candy on your
trains if you will let me, responded
the boy briskly.
That practice, now SO common. had
never been dreamed of in those days,
and the dean was considerably i'm
pressed by the boys brightness and
originality of thought. 'Au right my

HARRISON AND THE LEAGUE.
He Will Not Attend the Meeting at Louie


He Will Not Attend the Meeting at Louie
VILE. and Why.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 4.-Ex- president Har-
rison will not attend the meeting of Re-
publican League clubs at Louisville next
week-so a correspondent is informed by
good authority-but it is not because he
has consulted his own wishes in the mat
ter. The fact is that the eX-president is
very anxious to attend the meeting, and
has been reluctant to consider a PROPOSE
ton that he should not be present. 1t is
said there are two elements inside the
party who are trying to force him to a
promise that he will remain at home.
One of these elements of course is the
anti Harrison section, who can see nothing
in his prospective visit but a Harrison
boom for ~, and their opposition to his
presence is being engineered by no less a
parsonage than ex-Chairman Clarkson.
They are saying that it would be bad poll
tics for Harrison to show himself.
The other element comprises the best
friends of the general, who have never lost
the hope that he may duplicate Cleve-
lands career. but they are inclined to favor
a still-hunt for the nomination rather than
a whoop and hurrah campaign. They argue
that his presence would excite the animos-
ity of the anti Harrison element and would
cause an opening of all the old wounds.

SITUATION AT HONOLULU.
Provisional Government Appears To BE
Its Last Legs.

Honolulu. April DC. -sfevia San Franz
cisco, May 1. 1.-The outlook hasn't bright
ened here since the last mail left. There
is a decrease III royalist talk of immediate
restoration of the queen, but no one can
fail to see that the provisional government
is losing ground, and that many of its for
mer adherents are going over to the ranks
of the royalists. The whole thing can be
put in this sentence: There are not enough
offices to go around among the white men,
and those that are left out are determined
that the missionary party, which is now in
control, shall not turn over the country to
Uncle Sam, and thereby have the call for
fat federal positions.
The provisional party is very groggy, to
use n prize ring expression. 1t is paying
out $1,000 monthly to preserve law and
order and it is finding great difficulty in
raising this money. The latest device of
the royalists to discredit the government is
to refuse to pay taxes. This they swear
they viii carry out on July /. When they
become due it viii be interesting to see
how the provisional leaders Will force them

BURIED SEVEN in THE RUINS.
All Severely but None Fatally Hurt-Ac-
cident milwaukee.


MILWAUKEE, May 1.-THE Northwestern
Fuel company's immense sheds at the foot
of Washington street, on the river. fell,
burying in the debris seven workmeD, all
Of whom were severely injured, but none
fatally. The list of injured is as follows:
W. J. Franey, foreman, left foot hurt, not
very seriously; Thomas Nelson, carpenter,
foot hurt, quite seriously; Jerry Zaw bozky,
carpenter, cut about the head; Conrad An
derson, compound fracture of right arm
and severe internal injuries; l.. Nowadow-
ski, carpenter, seriously injured about the
head; Charles kuhnke, scalp wound; Mar
tin Lubrant, badly bruised and Frustrated
by shock.
There is yet 10 accounting for the &C
cident, but it is supposed that the recent
heavy rains weakened The frail roof, caus-
ing it to sag in places, and the constant
rattle and roar OF the coal carts in and out
of it shook the structure and caused it to
collapse from its own weight. The dam
age to the company is estimated at $50, 900,
according to the officers of the company.

WHAT EUGENE OEBS THINKS
About That Decision on the state Co-Em-
ploye Laws.

About That Decision on the State Co-Em-
ploye Laws.
TERRE HACTE, Ind, May 4.-The decis-
ion by the United States supreme court
against the co-employe liability laws is
looked upon by Eugene Debs, president of
the American Railway union, as the most
significant decision affecting labor yet rem
dered by the courts. He is the father of
the idea, which has been incorporated into
laws in Ohio, Indiana, Colorado, Georgia,
and perhaps one or two other states. He
introduced the first measure of the kind
in the Indiana legislature eight years ago,
but it did not become a law until last win
ter and then in amended form, after
the railroad companies had spent the win
ter lobbying against it.
The decision that the question of the liza
bility of a railroad company for damages
where injuries are the result of negligence
of a co-employe is to be settled by the gen.
eral law and not by the local law of the
state wherein the action arises MIR. Debs
thinks is ii declaration that deprives the
employe of any hope of protection and rem
ders nugatory all state laws of this charac-
ter 1t is, he thinks, serious warning of
the purpose of the supreme court of the
United States to encroach upon state au-
thority.
