out to buy dis last paper-I want to go home
and da'ssent till I'm sold out" They have no
use for the little fellows who sit on the curb
stones and pretend to be asleep, with a few
crumpled papers in their hands. Dem kids"
said Cheeky" Wilitz, "is disgrace. Dey stand
in wild fellers dat give 'em de papers, and den
dey do de cry act de lost penny act and de sick

can see 'em sneakin' into de open air places.
beer gardens, and all over where dere's people.
and some Of 'em works de poor dodge so slick
dat five papers III last I'm all night"
One Of the best types of the New-York news
boy is Dave" Simons, the ex-prerident OF the
union. He was born in Ludlow-st. twenty-one
years ago, and, according to his own statement,
has sold papers since he was eight years old.
But | graduated from the Norfolk-st. school,"
he said, Just well as the other boys" For
twelve years he has had his station in City
Hall Park, where he now employs several boys
TO help him. After business hours he puts on
the gloves with young men who have aspira-
tions for prize ring honor and has appeared on
several occasions at the various athletic clubs
and demonstrated that he could use his fists
When asked what he would do If some one at
tempted 10 sell papers on his territory he said:
'If de man kin lick me, he kin have de place.
and dats de case all over. De newsboy has got
TO look out for himself, and If he's no good he'd
better quit SOON"
While Simons inspires others with confidence,
his fellow members seem to believe that he Is
untrustwor,hy, and when the strike was at Its
height they deposed him and elected Morris
Cohen in his place He was chosen for no stated
New-York tribune., 1899-07-30

where. In the hotel district and IN the resi-
dence part OF town he Is fairly well dressed,
with a dash OF tough" always conspicuous. but
his garb grows poorer and his general makeup
tougher his field Of labor brings him further
downtown. To see him at his best must
be in Park Row between and o'clock in the
afternoon, The boys crowd and crush and fight
to get at the distributing places and then, cry
ing their wares in all keys from high falsetto
to deep basso, they rush for their respective
routes In many instances meeting customers
into whose hands they thrust the papers which
they know are desired, stopping for pay,
but knowing that the man will pay them in
lump certain day.
These are the newsboys OF the ordinary,
everyday class. But there others who have
outgrown the barking time, who stand at their
self selected posts and hand the papers out to
their customers, while their helpers, sometimes
four or five in number. hustle in the CROWDS
near by and come to repenish their stocks
when they are exhausted from the "boss's' pile.
These helpers get from 10 cents day to So
week.
AS soon as boy has bought fought or found
his way into the profession. his associates size
him up. study his traits and pecuarities and II
he has the elements of popularity he soon re-
a
no small part in newsboys circles have their
nicknames, and Mrs Shea, whose portly form
takes up valuable space in Park Row, near the
Bridge is often addressed by name which is
powerful IN financial circles. because she is said
to be awful rich'; Mrs. Cochran Is addressed
as "Aunty," Mrs. Myers is Beauty" and old
Hannah Klef is meant when the boys call
Flight" But Hannah's all right. and so is
Annie Kelly" said striking newsboy "Dey
is union men for fair. but some OF de udders has
got money TO burn but scabs just de same"
There is one class OF newsboys that makes its
appearance only at rare intervals. and then only
for a short time. This class is composed Of the
deep throateG men who travel in pairs in the
residence parts OF the city. where they make
night hideous with cries that sound like Tx
tral uxtrai All about the uXtra!
People buy the papers at an advance price,
are always sorry for it, and the next time the
hawkers appear their street they buy again
The regular newsboy looks down upon these
fakirs, as he does upon the boys who stand
around the theatres and beg people who come

all dey has to do is to keep up wild DER own
class If dey do de baby act an mix beggn
wild sellin' papers. dey don't have no show wid
de gang an dey has to move on
Taken as a class. the boys are keen and
sharp quick to an advantage. and as full OF
fun as the are Of fight During business hours
they give close attention to work, and it mat
tiers little what the weather conditions are, the
boy with an established place or route Is on
hand, with his papers He needs prompting
as to when to buy an extra supply for he knows
news, and can gauge the public demand on that
point In the dull hours he watches the base
ball bulletins the returns from the racetracks
and plays craps and other gamblng games; for,
no matter how small he is. the up 10 date news
boy is deeply interested in all sporting events,
with decided leaning toward prize fighting.
Only a few years ago nine-tenths Of the news
boys were of Irish parentage. but other ele-
ments have come into the business. and. ac-
cordinc to the figures given by Dave" Slmons.
the cx- president of the Newsboys' Union, two
ffths are now Jews, one-ffth Irish, On e-fifth
Italian, and one-nfth "nlggers, COILS cripples,

amount Of the credit which they have with them
for returned papers and they are looked upon
by the fraternity as the big bugs OF the Dusi-
ness.
The profts which are realized by the boys VINO
sell papers find their way to the savings banks
and TO the household purse TO a great extent
and although the average newsboy gamoles ana
cu,tivates the habits of miniature spor ne
is thrifty. and many families in the CROWDED
district escape misery and want because OF the
naner profts which brought nome oy 'he
children and many bank accounts would never
have been possible If the foundaticns nao not
been laid by the boys whose stock IN trade a'
the start was pluck and good pair OF lungs.

Another class in the newsboy business IS com

to sell them at full price. These SPECTATORS

No census has ever been taken OF the news
bows in New York, and all figures as to the
number in the business are based on specula-
tion but it is estimated by the leaders of the
rncn that there are no less than fifteen thou
sand in the city and this number Is exceeded
during the vacation months. The boy who be-
gins to sell papers at the tender age of six or
seven stands a much better chance Of success
at the start and runs less risk as far as oppo-
sit.on Is concerned, than the boy who has al
