BURIAL.

A bill has been introduced into the
New York Legislature looking to the
prevention Of premature burial, and 10
has brought before the public an old dis
c~ussion aud not q few new facts. An
estimate Of the number Of people who
are buried alive every year lie somewhat
startling. A doctor Of long experience
who has given particular attention to
this subject is Of the opinion that 5 per
cent of ell the persons who are supposed
10 be the victims of sudden death are
buried before consciousness has quite
left the body. Especial attention is call.
ed to the unseemly haste which attends
most funerals in common life, and it is
pointed out again that there are no hu-
man means Of determining the entire alb.
n of consciousness in . seemingly
dead body except the beginning of decay,
for which the surviving friends as q rule
will not wait. Ii is now proposed to
furnish storage receptacles at the ceme-
teries, where all bodies may be kept
under supervision uatil decay sets in.
This practice is followed in several Eu.
ropean countries.

THE GAMBLERS IN THE ALLEY.

"Squint," and Monkey" and ''Limpy,"
the origin of which is too obvious to re-
quire any explanation. A boy never
thinks of taking offense at nickname,
no matter how ridiculous it may make
him appear. For instance, there is a
boy called "Block-Head," but he takes
no exception to it and responds readily
when it is applied to him. It is doubtful
if he would answer if addressed by his
own name. Another boy, who is tall
and lanky, is known as ''Lamp-Post." A
MISUNDERSTANDING lad goes by the
appellation of Saint Man," for the rea-
son that he attends the different mis-
sions in the city in order to get clothes
and other benefits.
The average newsboy is as bright as
4 button. He is industrious and bust
ness-like and quick to make money
I spent some time among them recently
and found that smart boy-and they
are nearly all smart-can earn all the
way from so cents to four or five dollars
day. During the worlds fair some OF
the older boys made as high as So and
$40 day. If they had the same fac.
ulty of saving money that they have OF
earning it they would soon have the
means to 60 into business for them
selves and become independent. As a
matter of fact some of the prosperous
business men of Chicago have risen
from the ranks of newsboys. One Of
the most notable examples is Mr.. Isaac
Wolf, successful clothing merchant
who shows his appreciation of the lit
tie fellows who are in his old calling by
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1899-06-21

older boys have been all over the United
States, and many of them abroad. So,
when one comes to think of the numer-
Gus ways in which the boys spend their
money, it is not to be wondered at that
few of them gain much in the matter
of wealth from year to year.
These newsboys whom I have just
been describing make their living
down town-that is, in the business
districts of the city. There are proba-
bly, 1900 boys outside of this circle who
sell papers in the outlying districts-in
the resident streets on the west, north
and south sides. They are far diff
ferent class than those who go down
town. Nearly all of them belong to
respectable families-many of them to
very good families. They attend school
and are free from the vicious habits of
the street Arab proper. These respect
able lads would stand little show with
the trained "hustlers" who haunt the
alleys back of the newspaper offices.
Philanthropic people of Chicago have
done a great deal to better the condi-
ton of the newsboy. The city has es-
tablished a school in Madison street,
where all who desire may attend nights.
At first the attendance was rather
small, but it has been increasing until
now the room is filed each evening and
there is talk of starting another branch.
There is an evident desire on the part
of the boys to learn, and they have
proved themselves very apt scholars.
The Newsboys' home in Wabash ave-
nue., near Fourteenth street, has been
in existence ever since the big fire.
To the weaker boys who are homeless
Little fellows who are not capable, on
account of mental or physical disabil-
tiles, to contend with the rough masses,
are protected there. For nominal
charge of five or ten cents they are
given a breakfast of good bread and
butter, coffee, cakes and doughnuts, a
supper of meat or baked beans, bread
and butter, cakes and tea, and good,
clean bed. If it happens that the youth
full boarder does not have the five
cents, which is frequently the case, his
wants are provided for just the same.
On Sundays there is some kind of serv-
ice in the parlors, and every effort is
made to make home for the boys and
help them to obtain positions of USE
fulness.
I have tried to give a fair idea OF
the newsboys of Chicago, just as they
are, without gloss or glamour. That
they are hard and depraved there is no
question. That they are brainy, en-
ergetic, INDUSTRIOUS and have it in
them to make fine citizens, no ore can
deny.

giving them bounteous dinner every

Then there is Charles w. Curry,
well-known stationer, who began life
as a newsboy and who worked up the
ladder of life step by step all by his
own exertions. There are many others
who have become honored and useful
citizens. The large jobbing houses
have given employment to many a boy
who sold papers on the streets, and
some of the most trusted employees
| came from the ranks of the newsboys.
Tommy Burns, newsboy selling
papers on the street to-day, owns two
good houses, and Patsy Murphy. an
other lad still in the business, is pos
sessed of considerable real estate.
| Nose Solnya, better known as "Mose
the Miser," is reputed to be worth $685.
900 which, it is said, he has accumulate
ed entirely from the sale of papers.
Another newsboy, Jack Shehan,
whose tendencies are all of sporting
trend, is the owner of five race horses.
But it is this same love of sport that
keeps most of the newsboys on the
street. The majority of them would
rather gamble than eat, and they like
to do that well enough, too. AS soon
as the morning editions are out of the
way one may see them pitching pen
MES in the alleys. The smallest tod

''Extra!" learns how to gamble. But
the bigger boys play for higher stakes
than pennies and nickels.
| John 'Hopps''-that isn't his name,
but he is called that because he
is lame-who has reached the dignity
of assistant circulator of an afternoon
paper, has, in the language of the big
policeman, made and lost three or
four fortunes-all by gambling"
When Hankins' gambling house was
running wide open on Clark street John
used to be habitual player there.
Another high roller was ABE the Jew, ~
whom John Hoops" says he has seen

Maj. Rabbit sometimes known aa
"Good Rabbit is called the king of the
crap shooters" because his equal in
that line of gambling has not yet been
found. There are many others who
are classed among the greater sports
of the newsboys, all of whom have OBJ
tanned more or less distinction.
In addition to gambling, however,
the newsboys have acquired extrava-
giant habits. It is feast or famine with
them. On the days that they are flush
they eat at the better class of restaur.
ants, and nothing is too good for them
while their money lasts. They attend
the theater regularly, and during sea
sons of unusual prosperity travel from
one large city to another. 1t will
doubtless be a matter of surprise tc
many, but it is nevertheless true, that
the newsboys are among the Creates
travellers in the country. Most of The
