POCKET-PICKING AS AN AUT
A DIETKCTIVE 8 ACCOTJITT Or
PICKPOCKET'S PURSUIT.
THE
The Klnir ot IMo 'pr hrt nml ISIn
i:p'i Trnlniiiff Hoys In the
Srlinid of Abt.lrnttiiir.
" Pickpockets nro a rlnss of thieves
who must be epnnrinlly fitted for the
business," said a headquarters detective
to a Chirngo -Aw reporter. "They go
through ii eour?o of instniction ns n
general thing, nnd learn it ns a child learns
to rend. But no instructors will accept
ns a pupil nny one with short, stumpy
fingers. It requires for pickpockets, just
ns it docs for playing the violin, long,
lean, flexible, nnd even sensitive fingers."
" Do you mean to say that there nrc
regular instructors in tlie nrt of digital
appropriation?"
"Oh, yes; old experts who have re
duced it to a sc ience. Some of them
who nro advanced in years, or otherwise
incapacitated for nciive work on their
own hook, devote all their time to in
structing thieves nnd putting up jobs for
them. It is a peculiar profession, nnd
requires peculiar talents, as well ns pecu
liar surrounding' nnd circumstances to
make it n success. The pickpocket, out
of a largo city, ceases to be a ' great
artist,' nnd in a poor -r town or a village
would degenerate into a mere burglar, or
even become honest or prosperous.
The pickpocket never commits violence,
as the footpad, the burglar or the gar
rotcr does. lie performs his work un
ostentatiously, unobtrusively I might
say delicately. He is a judge of character,
too. Ho is a sort of detective
in his way, knowing nt a glance
tho kind of a man whoso watch
is likely to be 6olid nud valuable, and
not belonging to tho order of flash
jewelry. Long experience has made him
about as good a judge of the value of a
thing as a jeweler or a pawnbroker.
There is a daily dauger in his mode of
life which, no doubt, has attractions for
the venturous. He iroes forth with his
liberty in his hand. He lives in the face
of danger. Ho sees companions nnd
friends perpetually struck oil the roll of
gentlemen-at-large. lie knows not when
bis own day of doom may nrrive."
"Does his business pa, generally
speaking ?"
"Hardly. That is to say, there are
very few rich thieves of any description.
They nearly all die paupers, or in prison,
or in their boots; many at the hands of
their comrades. Fear and guilt nro the
passions that sway them. There is no
such thing as h .or among thieves.
Some have amnssed wealth, but to how
many of them has it been of use? You
remember Joe Parrish, who was arrested
hero in Chicago last February by De
tective Elliott, and taken to Syracuse,
N. Y., where he was wanted for picking
a man's pocket of $500? He was one of
tho most adroit nicknockcts in the
country, nnd his similar operations of the
few months preceding his arrest would
reach an aggregate of several thousand
dollars, l'arrish has grown rich from
his multitudinous'robberies, and owns
valuable real estate in Chicago, New
York, nnd many other largo cities. He
is widely known among the crooks of
every city in the country, by whom ho
was given the title of the "King of Pick
pockets." His career of crime has been
a long one, and he i3 supposed to have
stolen about $1,000,000. He is not over
forty-five years of age, yet he has com
mitted more robberies and escaped scot
free oftener than nny man in America.
Then there was Dan Noble, another
famous pickpocket, w ho recently died in
a London prison. He was about the age
of Parrish, and was quite as well known
nt one time on this side of the Atlantic,
but he graduated into a bank-sneak be
fore his final arrest."
" Do professional pickpockets usually
operate singly or in gangs?"
" Some of them prefer to go it alone,
but ns a general thing they travel in or
ganized mobs of three. It takes three
men to do a neat and safe job, except in
dense crowds, where the usual precau
tions are not necessary; but, even then,
they nearly always work in gangs. In
the parlance of the craft these three indi
viduals are known respectively as the
'wire,' the 'stall,' nnd the 'cover.' The
'wire' is the pickpocket himself; the
'stall' does duty by attracting the man's
or woman's attention while the operator's
fingers are in the pocket; tho 1 cover
places himself in a position so that the
movements of the ' wiro cannot he oh
served. It is very often the case that
the 'wire' is a boy, while the other two
are men. For the mere business of re
lieving pockets of their contents boys
are the ablest adept u. Many a street arab
has been driven to the work by want nnd
bad company at a very early age, becom
ing a professional long before he has at
tained his growth."
"I have heard also that women nrc
very smooth, at the business;''
" So they are. They frequently travel
with male pals, and always do the deli
cate and risky part of the work. You
seldom hear of one being caught. This
is not so much ow-ing to their superior
cunning as the fact that they are care
fully covered and protected by their malo
confreies. I have noticed that w hen
female pickpocket travels alone she
prevs ution her sex almost exclusively
VVben pickpockets are working in a great
crowd, as 1 said before, they go in gangs
lhe chief manipulator goes ahead. He s
leets a victim, 'fans' his pockets to see if
there is anything in it, then slips his
Land daintily into it and takes out the
purse of money, which he passes back to
one of Ins comrades. boinetmies
changes hands three or four times in as
many seconds, and even if tho operator
is nabbed immediately after the work is
done, nothing is found on his person to
convict him of the theft."
"What do you mean by 'fanning' a
man's pocket ?"
" That is simply the slang for feeling
it in the light, cautious manner which is
learned by training. A sharp thief never
puts his hand into a man's pocket at
random, but goes through the 'fanning'
process at tir.it, and l jcatcs the object he
desires to 'pinch.' A clever boy, gaining
a character for a light and successful
hand, is well cared for by his older pals.
With such i lad it is well worth their
w hile to behave fairly and give him u
liberal share of the spoils. I heard of a
ra.-e not long ago where a boy, being
detected by one of his victims, was got
uway by two of his torsades, one of
ihuiii Was am-ated, tned ati'J convicted,
nnd sentenced to six months' imprison
ment. During tho circus season swarms
of pickpockets follow the traveling shows
about tho country, plying their trade in
tho vast crowds of people that nro at
tracted by tho exhibition. In tho pas
few years, however, the proprietors of
some of tho lending circuses havo abated
this nuisance to a considerable extent by
mploying nn efficient corps of special
d.-tcctives to accompany tho show and
protect its patrons."
lllnck Flags nnd Yellow Flags.
The London Timrt thus explains tho
history nnd significance of tho two
pliTases, "Hlack Flags" and "Yellow
Flags," which have occurred constantly
in the cable news from Tonquin:
The Tncping rebellion broke out in
the province of Kwangsi, nnd nfter ex
tending ncross China to within sight of
the capital it was finally overcome by tho
joint efforts of the imperial commanders
and of General Gordon. In ISO.1 thoso
of the rebels who had cither remained in
Kwangsi or who had had the good fort
une to escape there were expelled tho
provinco by the emperor's lieutenants
and driven across the border into Ton
quin. They found a secure place of
refuge in the mountains on cither side of
tho Songooi valley, but far from wishing
to exasperate the Chinese authorities
they manifested a disposition to
act in obedience to their be
hest and to carry out their pro
jects. In numbers their fighting men
were nt this period computed at live
thousand. At first YVatsong, said to have
been one of the principals of Taeping
Wang's followers, was the recognized
chief of this band of exiles, who were
accompanied W their wives nnd families.
Tho Anamese troops were repeatedly sent
against these troublesome nnd self-invited
guests, but only to experience de
feat; and in liWS these Chinese rebels
were in unquestioned possession of tho
right bank of the Songooi above tho
capital. The assistance of tho Chinese
viceroy of the Two Kwang was invoked
and accorded with such good results
that these assailants were expelled
from tho low-lying country nnd con
fined to the upper course of tho river. A
division in the chiefship of the band
came almost at the same moment, to give
increased effect to the interference of tho
Chinese authorities. Watson died, and
two chiefs were elected in his stead, one
by tho original followers of the Tacp
inirs, the other by those who had joined
"Wat song in the hope of plunder or from
the desiro to elude the pursuit of justice.
The breaking up of tho association was
made the more complete by tho adoption
of different ensigns; and while those in
favor of nn adventurous life retained tho
"black flag," the rest, anxious for the
safety of their families, nnd willing to
come to terms with the authorities both
of Anam nnd China, adopted tho " yel
low flag" as their token.
Venice and Her Glass-Bead Indnstry.
Beads are largely mado in Venice,
where gliissmidking has always been a
principle indvfflry. It is said that the in
vention of beads dates from the thir
teenth century, nnd is due to two Vene
tians Miotti and Imbriani who wcro
urged to make experiments by tho cele
brated Venetian traveler, Marco Polo.
Under the enetiau republic, and for
some years after its fall, says our consul
at Venice, the exportation of beads had
not reached the importance it has now
attained. This was, perhaps, owing to
the smallness of the furnaces and to tho
difficulty nnd length of the technical pro
cesses required for the composition of tho
paste. The Morelli, however, who in
1070 were the principal bead manufac
turers, had four ships nt sea carrying
beads to lhe East on their own account,
and they became so rich that they entered
the rank of tho Venetian nobility on pay
ment of a sum of 100,000 ducats to the
republic. Since 1815 this industry has
become so important as to give at the
present time employment to about 15,
000 persons. The traffic is carried on
with all the world, but the principal ex
portation of beads is to the ports of
Asia nnd Africa. An extraordinary
stimulus was given to this industry a few
years aao by the prevailing taste for
beads for trimming ladies dresses. A
great extension of the manufacture took
place nnd the labor was paid sohignthat
all who could do so gave up their usual
trades for beadmakiug. Hut when the
demand for beads declined most of tho
workmen who had been allured by fancy
wages to the bead manufacture were
thrown out of work and compelled to re
turn to their former occupations. V hat
ever bo the case, beadmaking has always
been the special privilege of Venice, in
spite of all foreign attempts to manulac
ture this article elsewhere. The wages
in glass works are for a first master about
$1.00 a day, for a second master ninety
cents a day, and for the ordinary work
men from forty cents to $1 a day.
Dining the last live years the average an
nual exportation of beads has been 25,
000 quintals, of the approximate value
of $1,100,000.

How to Avoid Getting Fat.
A new book on "Corpulence audits
Treatment'' has lately been published in
Germany by Professor Ebstein, of (lott
kigen. He is ndt, like the English " sa
vior of the stout," full of overflowing
thankfulness for relief from disease;
probably he has not even suffered from
it, for corpulent men are rarely stern and
strict. His method also differs from that
of Hunting. According to Ebstein the
primary cause of corpulency is the want
of sufficient energy to renounce the so
called attractions of life. He firmly
maintains that fat is produced merely by
overeating and drinking. Water and
drinking cures are altogether condemned
by Professor Ebstein; and while the
Panting system teaches that " fat makes
fat," this doctrine is directly opposed by
Professor Ebstein, in whose ideal of fare
for thoso suffering from corpulency fat
forms a great feature. "The 250
grammes of bacon," says Professor Eb
stein, " which our emperor ordered to bo
delivered daily to all soldiers taking
part in the French campaign of 1870, are,
so to speak, an official acknowledgment
of the importance of fat in the rational
nourishment of a hard-working man."
The annexed bill of fare is that pro
posed by Professor Ebstein for an aver
age case of corpulency, the invalid being
supposed to be forty-ono years of nge,
and having suffered from 'i;cro.asing
stoutness for twenty-five years. Th-3 dis
ease is supposed to be eontracUtl by in
sufficient bodily exercise, a diet consist
ing of such things as are hurtful, among
which are named all sweet dishes and
those containing much albumen nnd
those devoid of a sufficient quantity of
fat.
Prcakfast A large cup of black tea
without milk or sugar; fifty grammes of
white bread, or toasted brown bread w ith
plenty of butter.
Dinner Mwn (frequently and wnu
bono marrow), 120 to 180 grammes meat,
boiled or roasted with fat gravy fat
meat; being preferable; a small quantity
of vegetables, particularly ligiiminous,
but ulso all kinds of cabbage. Turnips
nrc excluded because of the sugar con
tained in them; potatoes are altogether
excluded. After dinner some fresh fruit,
when in season, as dessert ; a salad or
leaked fruit without sugar. Soon nfter
dinner a large cup of black tea, without
milk or sugar.
Supper In winter regularly, in sum
mer occasionally, a large cup of black
tea without milk or sugar. An egg or
some fat roast beef, or both, sometimes
fat ham, smoked or fresh fish, about
thirty grammes of white bread, with
plenty of butter, and occasionally a
small quantity of cheese and some fresh
fruit. Pall M-tU O'azctte.
