ONE WAITS WORK
What J. E. Nissley Has Done
For the Newsboys.
Spends Hundreds of Dollars a
- Year For Them.
HIS VEI1Y HAPPY IDEA.
It Came to Him on Thanks
giving Day.
He Has Sot Failed to Give
Them a Dinner.
Will Probably Add Summer
Outing This Year.
The -work for the newsboys of Topeka
ia assuming large proportion?. Begin
ning nearly four years ago, when J. K.
Nissley first conceived the idea of work
ing with and for the newsboys, they be
came more ambitous.
In some cities the work of uplifting
the boys is further developed, and the
boys have a better realization of the life
which is before them, and what it is
necessary for them to do to become good
citizens.
The newsboys as a rule appreciate
anything that is dome for them. There
are of course imposters anions-' them.
As. an instance of the resiect and
esteem in which Mr. Nissley is held by
the Topeka newsboy may be noted in
a conversation which Robert McCabe
had with a youngster who came to him
to get tickets to. sell for the Thanks
giving newsboys rally.
" A NISSLEY INCIDENT.
Mr. "McCabe was using an un.Kcupied
room in the office of the commissioner
of elections in the Auditorium, and
there wre quite a number of men. poli
ticians and others, together with a lot
of newsboys in the room one morning
when a little fellow came in. He ap
peared ill at ease at being in the crowd.
"What is vour name, my little man,"
said McCabe.
"Phil." he answered.
'Phil what'.'" he was questioned.
"Phil Lane."
'Well, what may I do for you?" he
was asked.
"I want to sell some tickets for the
newsboys' rally."
"All right, I 11 fix you out," said Mc
Cabe. and he continued in a lighter
strain: "What are you going to be when
jfiu grow up. Phil? Be president of the
t'nited States, or something of that
sort ?"
"I don't know." the little fellow said.
"What are you. a Dtmocrai or a Re
publican? Are you for McKinley?"
"Yes, sir. I'm for McKinley."
"And why?" he was asked.
"Why, because Mr. Nissley is for. him.
and Mr. Nissley knows what is right."
the little fellow answered, much to the
amusement of the crowd which had col
lected around him to hear what he had
to say.
Mr. Nissley has been able to da R
great deal for the betterment of th
conditions which surround the newsboy
here. About 70 per cent, of the news
boys of this city belong to Sunday
schools among the various churches of
the city. Mr. Nissley himself teaches a
class "of twenty in the First M. E.
church.
ORGANIZED FOR GOOD.
Mr. Nissley has spared no expense in
doing all that is within his power to
organize the boys in this city and help
spur them on 'o continued efforts to be
gixid and make good men of themselves.
Mr. Nissley has started out in his
work on the theory that the newsboys
are a part and parcel of the commercial
world: that they are a necessity, and
that we could not get along without
them, and that finding this to be a fact
tne best thing that is to be done is t.j
stimulate and encourage them in their
wotk ari do for them all that is pos
sible. He said: " First of all the boys seem
more manly for a little training and are
a ereat deal more appreciative of the
things done for them after being helped
fur a whil-. My theory is that a boy
should be made to feel that the wortn
end value of their work is recognized as
an important adjunct in our daily life,
and mat we appreciate them. And
mors than that, that we place a higher
vaiue on the life of the average news
boy than he might be inclined to think
we do.
"In other -words my theory is that the
hny should be made to know he is some
body and is as much a factor in a com
munity as many other individuals of
w horn we give publicity and note.
"Mv first impulse when I go to Kan
sas City in stepping off the train and
ROBERT M'COLLOFGH,
no &oia iJX tickets.
when I go into the street, is to look tip
and down for a newsboy. I want the lat
est paper. I usually see him in a mo
ment and eet what I want. What Is true
of myself is doubtless true of the trav
eling public generally, hence by common
instinct we look for him as we would for
a hackman or a policeman or anyone
else who serves us in the capacities in
Which we want to be served,
Their calling is a peculiar one. It is
fraught with many novel experiences
and gives the boy a training that in a
way gives him quite an insight into bus
iness matters and character reading, of
course he romes into contact with many
cbjectlonab'eelementsand environments.
And it ia for that reason that he should
be thought of and trained, and directed
and encouraged, that is in the right
channels.
"The dinners, the outings and the suiis
that I have given the boys from time to
time are not so much a dispensation rf
charity as it is for their encouragement.
I want the boya to feel that I, as one,
place a high value on them.
erienca has taught that the
h. . I
- . ' J M t 5
hi II I if tf
smaller boys from 12 and 13 years old
and younger are the most easily led and
influenced. That they do not have, so
many habits to break as the boys who
are older than this.
"In training the boys a great deal has
to be undone and this fs much easier ac
complished in the younger ones than in
the older. So il may be seen how im
portant is the work of continually work
ing for the boys. To keep the ones who
have been started right in the right wav
and to influence the younger ones who
are continually coming into the arena
into the right way."
HOW HE BECAME INTERESTED.
Mr. Nissley became interested in the
work he is now engaged in, in behalf of
the newsboy in a peculiar manner. In
November. 18S7. he was quarantined for
scarlet fever. It was a few days before
Thanksgiving day when Mr. Nissley was
sitting alone and feeling quite lonesome
that his glance fell upon some newsboys
playing in the street.
The query occurred to him, "I wonder
how many of those bovs will have boun
teous dinners to' go home to on Thanks
giving day."
The more he pondered on the question
the more he became interested with the
idea of treating the newsboys to a real
good dinner and be with them on
Thanksgiving day. He thought that he
would enjoy the scene very much.
Accordingly Mr. Nissley set about
making preparations for a feast for the
boys. On Thanksgiving day about 75
boys were gathered into a restaurant
where they ate turkey and talked about
the good things they had to eat.
Mr. Nissley enjoyed the experience so
much that he decided to repeat the ex
periment again the following vear. The
idea was a novel one in Topeka and Mr.
Nissley began to love the pleasure de
rived from giving to the boys and watch
ing the unmistakable signs of apprecia
tion in their words and manner.

J. E. Nissley, the Topeka Newsboys' Friend.
In ls9S he gave another Thanksgiving
dinner. At this time he gave each of the
boys a suit of clothes. From each of the
boys he secured a pledge to bring a pa
per to his office for two weeks.
FURNISHED SUITS OF CLOTHES
The object of this was not to receive,
a remuneration for the suit of clothes
but to give the boys a chance to do
something to make them have a sense
of having earned something. It was also
done to give them a little responsibility
and was the beginning in teaching them
to keep their word.
The boys were quite prompt in taking
up their pledges. They entered into the
work with a xest, and showed their
hearty appreciation of Mr. Nissley's
kindness in their acts.
From this time dates the real begin
ning of the work. Soon after a regular
organization of the newsboys was form
ed and meetings were held periodically
several times during the year. This work
began early in 1SS9. The programmes
for the meetings were arranged with
especial care to make them such as
would interest the newsboys. Short
snappy talks by prominent men of the
city- with music made up the evening's
entertainment as a rule.
In the summer of lSy9 an outing waa
arranged for the boys by Mr. Nissley. It
was in the month of July that the first
one was given and the boys were taken
by train to Lawrence where they were
entertained at the park.
The afternoon was pleasantly spent in
games, races and various other ways;.
One of the attractions was a balloon as
cension. The Lawrence band was en
gaged for the afternoon and the mayor
and other prominent men made short
talks.
Again In as Thanksgiving drew
near preparations were made for an
other dinner for the boys, and they were
also fitted out with new suits again this
year.
It was at this time that some of the
boys began imposing on Mr. Nissley, and
a great many undeserving ones claimed
a share of his hospitality.
It was this fact that led to the idea
which Mr. Nissley adopted this year, that
of allowing the boys to sell -tickets to the
Thai'kgiving rallv. and all those who
sold a required number would be entitled
to a suit.
This plan has proven a happy one.
While a forenoon's entertainment was
provided for them they sold the tickets
to get an audience. It gave the. boys
something to do. It kept those who were
undeserving from claiming a suit of
clothes, and gave the boys who did earn
a suit a sense of responsibility.
TAUGHT TO SAVE.
The newsboys' second outing was given
them dunng the summer just past. They
were taken, two ear-loads of them, to
Horton. In all there were 20 boys,. An
all-day's entertainment was provided for
them. -
The boys are encouraged to save
and the work in ; this directions
is astonishing; " Tt" was only a year
ago when Mr, Nissley . first offered
prizes to the: " boys who ' saved the most
money. Arrangements were made with
one of the banks-in--the city to handle
the savings and little bank books were
provided for the boys. The boys who carry
these bank books are as proud of the fact
as the richest man in the city is of his.
Herbert Adams won the prize of $3u for a
year's saving. He saved
While there were only about forty bovs
who were banking their earnings last
year Mr. Nissley thinks that this number
will be doubled during the coming vear.
Prizes will again be given by Mr. Nissley
next Thanksgiving to the boys who save
the mosr money.
Thi? feature of the work will eventuallv
prove one of the roost beneficial which
has ever been done for the boys. They
will gradually come to see for themselves
the gooi to be gamed by saving their
money and the habit of saving may be
come fastened cnto them and be carried
through the remainder of their lives.
Whn the sales of tickets for the
Thanksgivine" rally were counted over it
was found that some of the boys bad not
sold enough to entitle them to suits of
clothing. tThey were, however, deserving
and Mr. Nissley agreed to give them suits
along with the rest of the boys if they
would give him their pledge to bring him
a paper for two weeks, 'into thev cheer
fully did and are just as cheerfully car
rying out.

A SUMMER OI'TING.
Mr. Nissley has a plan in mind which
will undoubtedly be put into operatic-.
during the coming summer. In many of
the larger cities the newsboys are taken
in groups of from seventy-live to one
hundred to some farm in the country and
are given a two weeks' outing. They are
then taken back to the city and another
group takes the place of the first and so
on.
Now the thought has sugeested itself
to Mr. Nisslev, "Why would it not be
a good plan to follow out some similar
action to this in Topeka only on a smaller
scale?"
"The boys could be taken in groups of
about twenty-five to some place about fif
teen or twenty miles in the country where
they could romp and run for three or four
uavs or a week and enjoy themselves to
their heart's content, and return to the
city, and their places be filled in the country-
with another group," said he.
CUT DEAD MAN'S THIiOAT.
Request of a New Yorker Who Feared
Being Buried Alive.
New York, Dec. S. Dr. Benjamin F.
Morrow, a reputable physician on Second
avenue and Twelfth street, agreed to cut
the throat of his old friend, Henry
Moore, of H. B. Kirk & Co.. after ha
(Moore) was dead. For this service he
was to receive $!-).
William G. Moore, son of the old man
he was ninetv-two to earn a fee of $5)
agreed to see to it that his father's body
was cremated.
The old gentleman not only made these
requests in his lifetime, but repeated them
in his will to make them more binding.
Old Henry Moore, splendidly educated,
widely traveled, a man of broad culture
and rich experience, had but one fear in
his long life, that of being buried alive.
Hs was subject to attacks of heart fail
ure. Many times he laid for hours as if
dead.
His great dread was that he might be
adjudged dead and placed in a grave, only
to revive and experience tortures that no
mind can picture. He took elaborate pre
cautions to guard against the horror that
haunted hirn.
He arranged with his physician. Dr.
Morrow, to cut his throat after he had
regularly' been declared dead, and to Wiake
it doubiy sure that he would not be bur
ied alive he pledged his son to see that
his body or supposed body was cremated.
But though he was willing to carry out
his part of the gruesome programme. Dr.
Morrow did not perform the operation, as
old Mr. Moore died unexpectedly- in Lon
don on October last. Whether Mr.
Moore, knowing that he was going to die.
hired some one else to perform the ser
vice that Dr. Morrow was to render is not
known yet on this side of the water.
The Strenuous Ufa,
It has been the possible misfortune of
the cause of the strenuous life that its
most persistent advocate in this coun
try has been identified with the mili
taristic idea, which really has little to
do with the question in its larger aspect.
Now that its advocate has ceased for
the time being to be regarded as one of
the standatd-bearers of a single party
in a political conflict the fundamental
principles of the particular kind of life
he urges upon us may reveal them
selves more clearly to those who on the
political questions of the day regard
him with disfavor. Even in the prcse
poem to which we have referred, and
which we wish every one might read,
one of the guide-posts on the foot-path
to peace is the injunction that we
should be satisfied with our possessions,
but not contented with ourselves until
we have made the best of them. It is
unquestionably true that even those of
us who have opposed the aspirations of
Mr- Bryan to the presidential office
have stood in admiration of the manly
vigor with which he has pursued his
quest, and if all the vitality and all the
energy that the rest of us possess may
be as strenuously exerted for ihe better
ment of ourselves and our fellows, and
therefore of our country, we need have
very little apprehension as to the future.

HER PUG NOSE.
Ettie Humphreys Sues Doctor Who
Tried to Make It Roman.
New Y'ork, Dec. g, Miss Ettie
Humphreys, a blond young woman, liv
ing at Xo. 825 Broadway, had aspira
tions for the operatic stage, but there
was one fatal drawback, and that was
her nose.
Miss Humphreys came into the su
preme court yesterday- and told Justice
Beekman and a jury that she had final
ly accepted the offer of John H. Wood
bury, who for $60 had promised to give
her a Roman nose ia place of what was
described in court as a "tip-tilted nose,"
that she had worn from her birth.
Miss Humphreys said that not only
did Mr. Woodbury fail to provide her
with an "aristocratic Roman nose fit
for any stage production," but that the
nose he had given her "marred her per
sonal beauty and moreover left a scar
in the place where the tip of her turn-ed-up
nose once posed." Therefore she
wanted $10,000 damages.
Miss Humphreys took off her big- pic
ture hat and passed around to the jury
pictures of herseif before and after tak
ing the nose treatment. Then the jury
men one by one gravely examined her
nose.
Miss Humphreys testified that
after submitting to the operation and
carrying her nose around in a sling for
more than six weeks, when it was
finally unbandaged, it was twice its for
mer size and had a distinct tendency to
curl from left to right.
Mr. Woodbury put Dr. Andrew I
Nelden, Dr. Leonard F. Pitkin and other
experts on the stand, who swore that
the operation was properly performed
and that Miss Humphrey's had a bul
bous growth on her nose and had been
fully and duly- warned that the opera
tion might result in leaving a scar.
Whereupon Miss Humphreys looked sad
and blushed.
It took the Jury more than an hour to
arrive at a verdict. They awarded the
girl $100 damages.
COLORADO DEEP MINING.
Kesults of Much General Interest at
Cripple Creek.
Colorado Springs, Col., Dec. 8. The
Elkton company has begun the Decem
ber dividend record, with a disbursement
of 3 cents a share, or $75,000. payable De
cember 20, to stockholders of record De
cember It. This will give that company
a dividend total of $979,460.69. Several
companies will pay .quarterly dividends
this month, thus swelling the total to a
large sum. December. 1899, was a ban
ner month, with an excess of $1,000,000
disbursed.
Mr. John Hays Hammond, who has
been given a free hand on Rtratton's In
dependence mine, will sink the works 50ft
feet They are now 900 feet. He will
also run levels into the granite on ths
80 acres of the company's 110 that have
never been touched. His deep-mining ex
periment is second or.ly to that of Mr.
W. S. Stratton, who is sinking his John
A. Logan and American Eagles on Bull
Hill to 2,000 feet. Most of the big pro
ducers are equipped for 2.000 feet depth.
These deep-mininsr experiments are of
much importance to Cripple Creek.
The Last Dollar mine is coming to th"
front. During November the company
paid $30,000 dividend. The September
output was 602 tons of ore, from whicn
returns aggregated $25,00. of which $17,
000 were net profits, October and No
vember returns are not y-et in full. For
ten days in October, however, the profits
were $S.WK). The company's holdinss are

city.
PITTS BUKG'S FERRY MAID.
From Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
Young in years, but full of vigor and
buoyancy of youth, pretty Bertha Walz,
a girl of 16, has a career as a ferrv maid
on the Ohio river that for the novelty
of its features is rarely surpassed.
For months the young girl has been
the sole support of her mother, younger
sister and brother. Week in and week
out, unaided and alone, she has plied
her big ferry skiff back and forth
across the Ohio to secure means for pro
viding for her helpless mother and
sister.
Bertha lives with her mother in an old
but neat appearing house boat on the
banks of the Ohio river, near the
Pressed Steel Car company's works, in
lower Allegheny'. This boat has been
her home for the past six years.
The idea of running a regular ferry
came to her through the suggestions of
mill men who cross the river at this
point to the McKee's Rocks side to and
from their work in the big mills.
Partly through the efforts of generous
contributors a skiff was procured and
the girl entered upon a new career. She
found her task rather arduous at first,
and her fair young hands were covered
with many a blister at the end of a day's
toil. But soon the muscles of her arms
bade fair to rival those of the crack
oarsmen of a 'varsity crew. Now she
thinks nothing of rowing six or eight
stalwart men over the river on a single
trip. Some days she makes as much as
forty trips, and has been known to take
in as much as $3 a day as a result of
her toil.
The widespread popularity of her
ferry, however, aroused the ire of less
favored ferrymen living in shanty boats
rear by. First, her best skiff was
stolen, and later a new one was turned
loose on the river. Finally, she was not
permitted to land her skiff on the Mc
Kee's Rocks shore at the large landing,
but was made to run her boat in at
some obscure point. Considerable
trouble arose over the ownership and
use of a pair of wooden steps leading
down the river embankment to the
shore. The climax was reached one
night last week.
Richard firiffeths, a ferryman, tried
to lay violent hands on her. Only the
timely appearance of a mill man and
the presence of her faithful dog, which
usually accompanies her for protection,
saved her from serious injury at his
hands. As a result, suit was promptly
entered aganist Oriffeths on a charge
of disorderly conduct before Alderman
Lynch. At the hearing Oriffeths waa
fined $10 and costs or twenty days in
jail. The steps claimed by Oriffeths ag
personal property were declared, to be
government property, and it was de
creed that the fair prosecutor was fully
entitled to their use.
Settlement of the Coal Strike.
The settlement of the coal strike and.
the more promising condition in the
great "basic industries" of iron and
steel have somewhat helped the stock
market. Through the favorable effect
upon railroad prospects. At all events,
there have been more activity and a
general upward tendency in prices.
With few exceptions traffic reports still
compare favorably with those of a year
ago. Statements are made of shifting
control in some of the great lines in the
direction of unifying the trans-continental
systems. For instance, it is re
ported that the powers which control
the NTew York Central and its western
connections, including the Union Pa
cific, are acquiring a dominant interest
in the Southern Pacific and forming alli
ances with the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern and with the Pacific
Mail Steamship company, with a vi?w
not only to the trans-continental traffic,
but to the trans-Pacific commerce of
the future. Certainly there is a drift
toward a unified control, or at least a
harmonious management, of all great
lines ot transportation which ve in
