THE SMALL NEwsBOY.
ae Is the One Person in the Busy World WEo Is Yet Content
 with Little Profits.

h these days of great business trans actions, when thousands and millions and all that sort of thing are common figures, it is gratifying to find some body still engaged in small affairs and content with small gains. Such, for in- stance, are the newsboys, though their business has very greatly changed in recent years. With the great growth of the city, with the greatly increased number of people passing any given point in the business part of the town, there are now plenty of localities where newsboys simply stand in one spot on the sidewalk, the exclusive right to stand there being held by priority of elaim backed by sturdy resolution to hold it against all newcomers. At such points newsboys sell a stack of papers daily, and do a business worth having with many regular customers whom they know by sight and see daily.
 The newsboy who stands for hours at one spot in such busy scenes be- comes of necessity a busineIs man, or business boy, and he looks it; earnest, thoughtful, attentive to details, re- membering his customers and what they want and with an eye always for | new customers or transients. He is looking after pennies, and he wants all he can get of them; but his situation is very different from that of the boy who roams the street with bundle of papers under his arm, calling his pa pers and looking for customers. He is very different still from the new begin her, the very small newsboy with a very thin bundle of papers, who has been sent out perhaps by some bigger news boy; or who, it may be, with a very small capital of his own, has just em- parked in business on his own account. This is the person more particularly re- ferred to as engaged in small affairs and content with small gains.
 You may meet him on the outskirts of some bunch of newsboys in a neigh bofhood where newsboys congregate. and where perhaps papers are received from the delivery wagons, guerrilla sent out by the boy that outftted him.

You see him moment later, as you Loyalty stand and wait, glaneing back at you from where he is, locking to see that you're waiting all right while he is getting that particular paper from another boy or from the sidewalk dealer, who. it may be, has at that moment received his bundle; and then he comes hurrying back with it and hands it over and gets his cent
 He has made another sale and an- other profit, and though he keeps cool, and turns with businesslike prompt ness in search of other customers, yet he cannot altogether conceal his feel. ing of elation; a feeling in which, as you pass on, you find yourself sharing in greater or less degree.-N. |.

not. In fact doubt very much if any one, even the makers, could so explain them as to make them intelligible to the average newspaper reader. The various shades are given peculiar French names which are entirely mean ingless to the average reader These names never describe the shades which they represent, so I will not attempt to give them, but will confne myself to a general statement of what the colors of the coming seasons will be.
 The popularity of silks is to continue, and some beautiful colors are shown, the principal ones of which are blues in almost all shades. several shades of lilac that are really beautiful, very light grays and golden browns The browns, however, while pretty, do not promise to become very popular as it is con- sidered too warm color for anything later than early spring. Some of the prettiest blues are folies amoureseus, a tone on the scarlet order; limoges on the delft order a Fashoda, a robins egg blue. Of the grays there is de Sevigne, which is quite light; Marie Theresa, deeper tone, and Safre, a bluish gray. Azalee, reddish purple, is the best of the lilac series. A few shades of other eolors are shown. as a soft yellow, half dozen different reds, and one or two pinxs. These will be probably the most popular ones. but it will be possible to get almost any color in silks, although the shades are not so numerous excepting in the colors named.
 There will be colors and shades with out number in dress goods, but the most prominent will be grays. Of these the blue gray, mouse gray and dove gray are expected to prove most popular and the expectations oi Paris fashion makers are usually realized Then there are reds, blacks, blues in innumerable shades, tans, castors, white, green, brown and iris. These colors apply principally to woolens. In cotton dress goods the principal col ors will be blue, red and white. When manufacturer gave me those cotton goods colors he put them in the order of red, white and blue at first, and l N~AA0 bOt HUI n1Al41IlS dO NhS SAAhAAN M tween them and the American flag, and wondered if for that reason Paris col CTS would increase in popularity in America this year. The order in which have first named them, however, is the order in which they are expected to sell. Broadeloth will be one of the most popular materials for spring. The colors in this include q dull white, de scribed as pipe clay, rose pink, canary, lavender gray, heliotrope, Nile green, turquoise, vivid reds, silver gray and royal blues.
 While writing of broadeloths want 10 give description of a broadcloth suit which has been popular here this winter. It is a striking costume, and 5ee extremely neat. I saw it at one of sne theaters one evening, early in the season, and it made up for many def- clencies in looks for the woman who wore it. Il was made entirely of white ipaacloth and black velvet.

Disagreement as to Whose Duty 1t

the county detective, the insects on the
West mountain are feeding on the re-
mains of an unknown man who was
discovered there last Monday by wo-
man berrypicker, who reported the case

SOUTH SCRANTON NOTES.
An Attempt Made to Burglarize the
Store of John Keenan-John Gill
lispie Arrested and Charged
with the Crime.

Persons having a strong propensity
for burglarizing buildings in the
Twelfth ward have, as records show,
confined their efforts to the 300 block
on Prospect avenue.
At an early hour yesterday morning
a crowd of young men made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to enter the store
building of John Keenan, at 1903 Pros
pect avenue. A large plate glass win
dow was removed from it's position by
the would-be burglars. But alas; in
lifting it from the porch to the walk
it fell and was smashed into frag-
| ments.
The noise of the crash awakened Mr..
| Keenan,. He dressed hurriedly, and,
| upon reaching the scene, found John
| Fenton lying drunk on the porch.
| Patrolman Schmidt was called and ar
| rested Fenton.
When arraigned before Alderman
| Lentes in police court yesterday he
| pleaded innocence as to having any
| thing to do with the attempted burg
| larry, but stated that Con Donahoe and
John Gillespie were implicated in the
| deal. Warrants were made out for their
arrest.
| The latter was arrested and placed
in the Alder street station house and
will be given a hearing this morning
| DOnahoe is yet at large, but the police
expect to land him in a day or two.
Fenton is still in custody, being held
as a witness. The warrants for the ac-
cused men charge them with being
! drunk and disorderly, breaking win
dows with the intent of committing
| burglary.
Gillespie, after the hearing on thest
charges, will have the pleasure of lis
tening to the reading of a warrant
which alleges that on June q last he
stole property from a delivery wagor
of the Lackawanna Brewing company
William Geiger, agent for the brewery
| will appear as prosecutor.

THAT CONSPIRACY ACT.
District Attorney Jones to Give the
Superior Court an Opportunity of
Passing On twill Take
an Appeal.

District Attorney John r. Jones in
tends to take an appeal to the Superior
court in the case of the commonwealth
against George Clark, who is charged
with conspiracy.
Mr.. Clarke, while acting as fore
man was arrested on charge of hav-
ing discharged certain workmen he
cause they were members of the Plumb
ers' union. He was indicted but when
the case was called for trial a motion
was made to cuash the indictment on
the ground that the act on which it
was founded was unconstitutional.
In an opinion handed down several
weeks ago Judge +. w. Gunster sus-
tanned the motion to quash, holding
that the act is unconstitutional for the
reason that it is special legislation.
The decision has attracted wide
spread attention and for the purpose
of getting an opinion from the higher
court on this important matter an ap-
peal is to be taken.
