NEWSBOY SCHEME NOT new.
There We're DOys with badges on
II oadvay Cars in 1860.

Considerable interest has been aroused
by the proposition to place uniformed
newsboys on the cable cars. who will
supply passengers with newspapers and
periodicals and guarantee the Company
against suits for damages as the result
of possible accidents.
This scheme Is by no means a new
one. AS far back as 1866 n similar plan
was successfully operated by Frank
Wood. then a newsletter in Broadway,
between Fortieth and Forty-tirst streets.
Mr.. Wood made an agreement with John
Kerr, who was then President of the
Broadway line, by which boys with
Woods badges had the exclusive privi-
lege on the cars of that Company.
REPORTER toda a' that m the PIa worked
very satisfactorily, and that he only
abandoned it to engage IN other bust
ness. He thinks II Is still feasible If
properly conducted, and that 1t would
eventually embrace every street-car line
in the city.

John Ducess Poured Whiskey Into
Children's Soda Glasses.
He Had En,iced Them TO Central
Park from the Bowery.
In Court To-Day He Was Held for
Carrying Revolver.

John Ducess, sixty years old, who has
given his residence as Flatbush avenue.
Brooklyn, and also at a Bowery lodging
house, was a prisoner in Yorkville Po-
lice Court this morning as the result Of
an impromptu picnic he gave yesterday
afternoon to some youngsters from the
Bowery.
The charges entered against him by
Policeman Anderson. of the East Sixty
seventh street station, were drunk and
disorderly. violation of corporation
ordinance and abduction.
Ducess was drunk yesterday afternoon,
and wound up about 6 o'clock at the
corner of Bayard street and the Bow
cry. There ne saw some children play
ing pussy in the corner" and he sat
down to watch the game.
When the game had progressed about
half an hour Ducess suggested that a
ride to Central Park would be a good
scheme. Twelve-year-old Max Epstein,
of Bayard street, said he would go. He
went to the house and got his three-year-
old sister, Molle, Bernard Yetter, twelve
years old, and Louis Gerber, aged ten

train and they rode to Flftyninth street.

the prospect for Ducess had promised
them soda water when they arrived
thee on the way over DucesS dropped
in at several saloons, while the children
waited outside till he Joined them.
The first soda water stand they struck
was at the Fifty. ninth street entrance
to the Park. and there Ducess ordered
drinks for all. when the glasses were
filled he took a bottle from his pocket
and poured a little of the liquor 1t
contained into each glass. Young Ep-
stein smelled 1t, and being Bowery
boy, knew II was whskey. He refused
to drink and told the others to forego
their soda.
Then, according to young Epstein.
Ducess whispered in his ear: -.
IF you CONT dvnk, ! will shoot you. y
AS he sal" thR,' he showed his pistol
pocket to the lad, and there Epstein
saw the hullle of u big revolver.
One glaTce at II was sufficient, and
the youngster ran The others followed
him.
Ducess chased the crowd through Six
tieth street towards Park avenue, and
there Policeman Anderson stopped him.
After hearing the story told by young
Epstein. he arrested Ducess.
In the Torkville Police Court this
morning DuCess wore a very detected
cir. Justice Meade thought that he
meant no harm to the children, and
therefore paid no attention to the
charge of abduction. He fined him So
for being drunk. and held him in 500
bail for carrying revolver without d
license.

cacique. and the Indians there loved
him much
When 1 was a lad, perhaps 9 years
old, troubles arose in the country. 1
never quite understood them, or per-
haps L have forgotten the circum-
stances, for such things were always
going on, but 1 think they were about
some tax which the government at Mex
leo had imposed upon US unjustly.
Anyhow, my father, a tall man with
fiery eyes, refused TO pay the tax, and,
after while a body of soldiers ar
rived mounted upon horses, who shot
down a great number of people and
took away some of the women and
children.
OF my father they made a prisoner,
and next day they took him out and
sat him on the edge of hole they had
dug, holding guns to his head and
threatening to shoot him, while my
mother and I looked on, unless he
would tell them some secret they were
anxious to learn. All he said, how
ever, was that he wished that they
would kill him at once, and so free him
from the torment of the mosquitoes
which buzzed about his head.
But they did not kill him then, and
