Jews, Turks, Swedes, Negroes, Ger
mans, Poles, Russians. Americans, all
mix together Unfortunately. They
will eat together, sleep together, shoot
''craps" together and fight together,
but when it comes to selling papers
they ''go it alone" In business every
boy is for himself. The weak are soon
pushed to the wall. The strong and the
aggressive come to the front, and the
old story of life is enacted and reen-
acted again and again.
"What do think of the newsboys?''

charge of them. Say, they're tough
propositions. They could teach some
of the old criminals lessons. There are

The prevailing trait among the news
boys is independence. AS soon as they
are able to walk they are thrust out
on the street and, under the charge OF
an elder boy, given their training. The

easy.
To one who is not familiar with the
habits of the newsboys their language
is almost unintelligible. They speak a
jargon of their own that is mixture
of thieves jargon and modern slang
with dash of gypsy talk and foreign
phrases brought among them by the
Russians, Turks and Poles. In the
downtown district there are about one
thousand boys. The others are scat
tered in various parts of the city, the
papers being brought to them in wag
ons. Scarcely one of the boys who
come down town is known by his real
name, as all are called by some nick
name. And in selecting these names
the boys evince great deal of original
ity and wit. In every case there is some
characteristic that gives lad his nick

CHICAGO'S NEWSBOYS
They Are Hard and Depraved, But
Bright and Brainy.
Many of Them Make Lots of Money
Which They Usually Lose at the
Gaming Table-AristOcFats
of the Trade.
Especial Chicago letter.

Those who are DESTROYS of studying
human nature in embryo in all it's
phases should spend one day in News
boys alley. The noblest and the lowest
traits of man may be found there.
There are probably not less than 5000
newsboys in Chicago, and among this
number every variety of the genus
homo may be encountered. Nearly
every nationality on earth is represent
ed. From before daylight till after
dark they swarm like bees, waiting for
the different editions of the papers.
They fight, and play, and trade, and
swear, and gamble. Their ages will
range from five years to 3o-for no mat
ter how old one may be, he is a "boy''

POLICE ACT VIGOROUSLY.
Cars Are Run at Cleveland Under
Strong Guard-NO Crowds Al
lowed to Gather.

Cleveland, O., June 14.-The officials
of the big consolidated railroad COM
pany were evidently surprised Tuesday
by the success which attended the eff
fort to move their cars. While every
car on Monday was surrounded by a
bowling mob there was no disturbance
of any kind Tuesday. While this was
due in part to the vigilance of the po-
lice, who prevented the assembling of
crowds, it was mainly attributable to
the fact that the strikers made no ef-
fort to induce nonunion men to quit.
In fact the strikers remained away
from the cars, and they were operated
on one line at intervals of about 80
minutes, carrying a few passengers
during the latter part of the day.

The New Capitol.

Despite the increased cost of some
materials the new state capitol can be
completed without expanding more
than the appropriated $2,0o0,0 600. This
was definitely ascertalned at a recent
meeting of the capitol commission.
The board voted to sell $4,000 in
certificates of Indebtedness in order to
raise funds to carry on the work of
constructing the new state house.
The board had on hand $69, 1000, but
bills were ordered paid which reduced
the funds on hand to $751; 1897. With
the $15O,000 to be raised the commits
sion will have enough money on hand
to carry on the work until October, or
possibly November. Cass Gilbert,
architect of the capitol, estimates that
the expense of construction will not
average less than $35, 900 per month
for the next few months The certif-
Gates are to bear rate of interest not
to exceed 81 per cent, and will be is
sued under provisions of the new law.
Of the sum, $50, 900 will mature in 1908
and the remaining 500, 900 in 1904.

Concentrate the Fire.
The fire of all seven warships was
concentrated on this point shortly
after noon, when the upper bay pre-
sented the appearance of being the
scene of great naval battle. The in
surgents were eventually forced to
abandon their guns after holding out
for about four hours, only to be con-
fronted by Gen. Lawton's force on land
and in the rear, where there was heavy
fighting.
Beyond the destruction of several
buildings along the water front, the
effect of the bombardment is not
known.
Furious Fighting.
When the battle was resumed at one
o'clock with the reenforcements, our
our battery having silenced the ene-
my's guns, the Americans, wading waist
deep in the mud of the salt flats and
pouring steady volleys of musketry at
the rebels, slowly drove their opponents
beyond the river. Then the two armies
lay facing each other across the deep
stream, the enemy practically out of
sight, while the men in blue and khaki
lay in the main bushes, many of them
without any shelter, for three hours,
without moments cessation in the
firing, pouring bullets at the enemy as
fast as they could load. The thousand

tent skirmishlike rattle of most of the
