NEWSBOYS MAKE TRIP HOME.
(Omaha New*,)
Perched high on a cliff, overlooking
the placid waters of the Bay of Na-
ples. and shrouded in flowers whose
luxuriance are bathed In the light from
the sunny skies of Italy, Is an old
stone castle where dwells an aged
mother, looking with longing eyes to
the coming of a vessel from the Ameri-
can shores,
Houth through the Mediterranean,
through the strait which Is guarded
by the rock of Gibraltar, and up the
English channel to Dublin, Is another
waiting mother, a father and other
loved ones who are also watching for
an Incoming ship from America.
Each mother Is watching for a hoy
whose face she has not seen for fifteen
years, uot since he was a mere lad.
Speeding us fast as an ocean grey-
hound can carry them, Tony Bostonz
and Joe Carroll, two Omaha newsboys,
are on their way to the homes across
the sea to see faces which they have
not seen for fifteen years or more.
Fifteen years is a long time to look
backward for two young men scarcely
past their majority, especially when
the homegoliig means a reunion with
relatives ami loved ones who had
given up all hope of ever seeing their
boys again.
Fifteen years ago there were tears
and lamentations In one of the lending
homes of the little town of Aaml. In
the province of Calabria, Italy. A hus-
band and father was leaving for
America, and accompanying him was
hls 0-year-old son, Tony, the idol of
the household. The mother's health
would not permit of her leaving her
nptlve land.
That boy was Tony Costcnz and the
man was hls father. They landed in
New York and came from there to
Omaha, where Tony was taken In hand
by hls cousin. Joseph M. Calabria, and
sent to school for four years.
After school hours little,Tony sold
papers and helped earn a livelihood
ror himself and father until hls fath-
er's death, when he shifted for himself
under the care of his cousin.
He cried papers on the sire, ts until
he lost hls leg under the whc> ,s of a
tralu in 1892 Together with num-
ber of other lads, he was playing near
the Union Pacific tracks at Nineteenth
street and several of them climbed on
top of a freight car.
One of the boys pushed Tony and
he fell beneath the car. the wheels
i crushing hi* leg to a pulp.
| The limb was amputated and alnce
Jhcn Tony has gone about on crutches
I and was a familiar figure at Four-
teenth and Farnam streets, and In
,8outh Omaha, where he managed the
id's. He was a
hustler and made -honey. hut he also
liked to spend it tor the good things
of life, and hls cousin, Joe Calabria,
always urged him to save hi- money,
which he had been doing for a year
or more before hls departure.
The newsboys, assisted by Mogy and
the Omaha Dally Nows, had a fine ar-
tificial limb manufactured for Tony,
but he was never able to wear it for
any length of time, and finally dis-
carded It altogether and depended en-
jtlrely upon hls crutches. So active
was he with hls “stlckleg” that the
"newsies" often remarked that Tony
could cover more ground than any
other newsseyer on hls earner.
Tony attended night school after hls
accident, and. being exceptionally
quick, learned rapidly. He has ac
quired a good English education and
not only speaks the language correct
ly, hut ready fluently and is a good
penman.
He was the newsboys’ champion on
a! occasions, and many times the little
"newsies" wem to him for protection
when they deemed themselves trodden
upon, and thought they needed ft
friend.
Since February 1st Tony has saved
$2800, besides taking a trip to the
World’s Fair. When he left Omaha he
purchased a round trip ticket to Na-
ples and carried with him a passport
which he had just received from Wash-
ington.
When the boy who has been absent
from home for fifteen years roaches
Calabria, Italy, he will be welcomed by
a mother, grandfather and other rela-
tives. who live in a large bouse in
Calabria
The Calabria- are not poor people,
although they have not as much of
tills world’s goods as they possessed
a few years ago At one time the fam
By was one of the wealthiest In all
Italy, but reverses took from them a
portion of the wealth.
However, a large estate yet, remains,
and It, will be divided among the heirs
when theg ramlfather is called to the
beyond. Tony Coatenz. will get hls
share of this money.
Tony will lie absent on his vacation
for about four months, and when he
returns to Omaha he will resume sell-
ing papers on the streets. In time hls
cousin Joe intends to send him to col-
lege to complete hls education and fit
him for some profession. Ha Is now-
21 years old.
Accompanying Oostenz Is Ills Omaha
chum, Joe Carroll, whose face has
been r ramillar one on the streets of
Omaha for a number of years, wnere
he has cried his papers. Hla history
I* unique.
Carroll wa* born In Dublin, Ireland,
about twenty-five years ago. He was a
very active lad and bis parents had al-
ways a difficult time to keep little Joe
at home. He wa# delighted when he
could wander away and make hls
mother search for him.
This roving rllsiioslUon. developed so
early in life, grew with the healthy
boy. even outstripping him. When he
was about 5 y»uri of age he stole
down to the ducks and crawled,on
board an ocean lined.
The big oceau liner was tar out to
sea before the iml*stowaway was dis-
covered. and it was then too late to
think of turning >>#«* with him. The
vessel plowed it* way la New York
City, the little Irish lad having
worked himself into the good will of
all on board.
He became a thorough American
from the first minute of his existence
in Gotham and was soon selling pa-
pers amidst the hurrying mass of hu-
manity on the crowded thoroughfares
of America’s metropolis. He drifted to
Omaha and got a job as paper carrier.
After a few years spent in Otnaha
the love of a rover’s life got the best
of Joe. and went to England and en-
listed In the British navy. He was a
jolly tar for a full term of service and
then enlisted in the American navy at
the time of the Spanish-American war.
He was wounded In battle and sent
fiome, and holds an honorable dis-
charge.
When he was able, Carroll again
took up his work of selling papers in
Omaha, which city Beamed to best suit
him, and where he formed many
companionships. *
Carroll was always M fighter for
newsboys' rights and an insult was
quickly followed by a blow from the
Irish fist. He was often heard to re-
mark that “the deuce was to pay when
lie got his Irish up.’

HOW WIRELESS WORKS.
(Washington Star.)
“On the steamer which took
over to Southampton early in
gust, there was some high gambling
on a horse race," said a Washington-
ian who recently returned from a trip
abroad. "That, may sound peculiar,
especially when I add that it wasn’t
future betting—it was betting on the
outcome of a race that had already
occurred. There were larger wagers
made on tb)3 peculiar proposition
than 1 ever saw made on a bteamer's
was to be a certain favorite for the
noted stake race had imperative busi-
ness in England and he had been com-
pelled, much to hls chagrin, to take
passage on a steamer that left New
York on the morning of the day when
his cold wag due to run the race of
his life. That was the steamer upon
which I took passage.
‘The steamer pulled away from her
dock at 10 o'clock In the morning. Be-
fore boarding the steamer, however,
the young millionaire turfman had
made arrangements with hls trainer
to send him the result, as soon as the
race was over, by wireless telegraphy.
And so. when the steamer started
down toward the Hook, all of ns on
board were glad to find out that we
would get the result of the big race
along toward 5 o'clock that afternoon,
well out to sea, for the race was due
to be run at 4 o'clock.
“Don’t Jump to the conclusion that
betting began thero and then on the
result. Not a dollar was wagered
among the passengers on the proposi-
tion before the wireless apparatus be-,
gan to announce the result. The bet-
ting came afterward.
“The wireless telegraph on board
the ship was working nearly all the
time from the hour we passed the
Hook up to the hour when the result
of the big race was due, and the oper-
ator had told some of us that the Wire-
less paraphernalia worked splendidly
that day. So we did not anticipate
any hitch In that direction, t
*'All of the male passengers who
could crowd Into the wireless room
and Into the passageway outside that
room were there an hour before the
result of the race was due from the
track. The young millionaire turfman,
confident looking, but a bit nervous, at
that, sat alongside the operator, watt-
ing for the word from his trainer.
“A bit after 5 o’clock the operator
looked up with a smile.
“ 'Here It comes,’ he said, and the
whole gang in the room and outside
in the passageway became as still as
mice.
“The sounder cicked away merrily
for a half a minute or so, while the
operator Wrote, and then the clicking
suddenly br&ke off.
"The operator looked puzzled. He
dropped hls pen and did a lot of fumb-
llpg around and readjusting. But
something was wrong. The wireless
apparatus had broken down some-
where. The operator couldn’t get any
response from the land, try as hard as
he would, and he finally looked up
with a most chagrined expression,
“ ‘1 call that devilish,’ he said to the
young millionaire turfman. ‘Just look
at the point where the current was
hashed.’
"The millionaire turfman picked up
the sheet on which tho operator had
written. He tossed It down with an
imprecation. We’ll call hls colt Crab-
meat, because that is far from being
the animal’s name. Here is what the
operator had got down when the wire-
less apparatus failed to work:
“ ’Crabmeat finished——’
“It was disgusting. If the wireless
contraption had juft kept sober and
straight for about three second longer,
we'd have had the result of the race
to a certainty. As It was. we were
(loomed to wait for it until we reached
England.
"But the significance of that ‘Crab-
■meat finished-' as a new kind of a
steamship betting proposition was In-
stantly perceived by the seasoned
voyagers among the male passengers.
” 'What are you laying me that
Crabmeat won?’ a half dozen of them
broke out at once, addressing their
friends on hoard, and that was the be-
ginning.
"From the very outset it was 2 to 1
that Crabmeat had lost the race.
“And that presumption was reason-
able enough to make a legitimate 2 to
1 shot.
“Those who were willing to lay 2 to
1 that Crabmeat had lost argued that
If Crabmeat had won the victory, the
trainer, in sending the news to his em-
ployer on board our ship, would simply
have written It: ‘Crabmeat won.’ It
didn’t seem sensible to suppose that a
trainer would multiply words for wire-
less transmission by writing ‘Crab-
meat finished first.’ He would, so it
was argued, go the shortest way about
It, by sending the simple word that
the colt had won.
“The fact, however, that he had
written. ‘Crabmeat finished-' was
Ubon to mean that the colt had fin-
ished second or third, or fourth, or
even way back in the ruck, and the
fellowsw ho took this view of the mat-
ter were perfectly willing to give the
2 to 1 odds on it that they were right
in their calculation.
“But thousands of dollars of that 2
to 1 were snapped up, all the same.
There were plenty of men on board
who thought that the fact that the
trainer had started off with 'Crabmeat
finished——' didn't necessarily mean
that the colt had been trounced in his
race, and the odds were enticing to
them, too, for the additional reason
that, according to all common sense
and horse knowledge. Crabmeat so far
outclassed his field that he really had
no business racing with them at all.
Moreover, they all knew, before leav-
ing New York that morning, that
Crabmeat was due to go to the post
an overwhelming favorite at 2 to 1.
‘I suppose that no crowd of men on
a steamer ever wasted so much good
breath discussing the pros and cons of
that unfinished wireless message as
we did during the run over to South-
ampton, The purser’s safe was lit-
erally stuffed with the currency wa-
gered on the result that we could only
heir when we got Into port.
“When we reached Southampton, I
was glad that 1 had taken a little

Kansas City. Mo.. Nov. 30.—This
week has been another one of good
cattle receipts—43,000 head in three
days., The market was steady to 15
cents lower up to last night, but prices
today are steady to strong. A strong
deal of the stuff has been range cows
and stockers and feeders, and a good
share of these have been thin and
trashy, clean ups of ranches. Drv
weather over a large territory in the
southwest has forced in quite a num-
ber of cattle. Next week will proba-
bly see a reduction in the supnly and
receipts wili pribably get down to nor-
mal December runs, around 40,000 a
week.
There is no good c-:rn cattle com-
ing now, top this week $5,80 on Mon-
day, top yesterday $5.05, but most of
’he corn fed steers sell at *4.500.5.25.
Market on them is called steady this
week. Good grass steers are also
steady at $3.50 0 4.50, but cows and
heifers are 10@16c lower than the
close of last week, at. $2.2503.75, a
few corn fed heifers at. $4.25 05, best
veals $500. Demand from the coun-
try for stockers and feeders has been
good for two or three weeks, and the
prices are holding up well at $303.75
for feeders, $2.7503.75 for stockers
and stock calves, $1.90 0 2.60 for stock
she stuff and feeding bulls. Of course
tall ends sell below these figures.
Hcgs are coming liberally—40,000
here in three days. Market is 15 cents
lower than Saturday, including a kiss
at 5 cents today. Top today of $4.65,
bulk of sales *4.3004.00, and light,
hogs and pigs at. $3.7504.45. More
heavy hogs are coining than hereto-
fore, but average weight of all the
hogs here last week was less than 200
pounds. Packers made a strong effort
to get prices here down on a level
with other markets yesterday and to-
day. but were only partly successful.
Sheep receipts are also heavy tills
week, at 20,00, head for three days
Market is steady, with some grades of
fat sheep, possibly 10 cents lower.
Best native lambs bring $6, fed year-
