THE PICKPOCKETS FLOCKED TO THE MACE-COBURN FIGHT. tt W a a he a a ering of in A is on S me of he A in I of an E a "The greatest gathering of pickpock ets that I ever saw, and, I daresay, the greatest bunch that ever assembled, was at the Mace-Coburn fight at Long Point, Canada, on May 11, 1871," said a detective who has been in the busi ness since 1855. '*The big fight was held in the vicinity of the old light house on Long Point, and the only way to get to the ground was by boat from Erie or Buffalo or by walking a good many miles through Canada. The boat that left Buffalo carried in the neigh borhood of 1,000 persons. The fact that there were a large number of thieves on the vessel was noised about, and the pamest persons kept their hands on their valuables all the time. Strange to gay, not a touch was made on the way over. "Two vessels, both loaded to their fullest capacity, left Erie, Pa., and each of these carried a number of pickpock ets. There were about a dozen detect ives in the crowd, among them being Detective Patrick V. Cusack of Buffalo, Captain Rogers and Detective Snllivan of Rochester and a few detectives from Erie, Pa., and Toronto, Ont. They knew that there was no nse in trying to put a check on the work of the crooks, because there were at least 300 profes sional pickpockets in the crowd. Just after the spectators began taking their places about the ringside the sheriff got in the ring and made a speech like this: 'I wish to warn every one against pickpockets. There are hundreds of them here.' "The sheriff stepped out of the ring and several men grouped about bim. The central figure of the group was a crook known as Papes. When the sher iff got out cf the mi bis diamond stud, his roll of bills and his watch were missing. He made known his loss to one of the detectives, and the detective volunteered tc recover the property. The detective was Captain Rogers. He sought Papes, explained the situation to him, and Papes immediately turned over the sheriff's property, saying that he had taken it just for a joke. "I can't begin to tell you how many pockets were picked this day. The fight waxed warm and every one was excit ed, so the crooks had a fine field to work in. Pocketbooks were actually flying in the air. Men were accusing honest men who sat beside them of touching them. Scores of diamond studs were unscrew ed and nipped. The most humorous in cident of the day was the theft of $200 in bills from a thief who hailed from St. Louis and was unknown to the New York delegation. A Ne York man named O'Donohue bad got the St. Louis thief's roll, and he returned it when he learned bis mistake. Some men were stripped of everything they had and were unable to buy a meal or a drink. In such cases the crooks helped them along with a small loan, as they termed it. The referee of the match was re lieved of his diamond. His bills were in an inside pocket and were not touched. "Business lagged with the thieves after the fight was over. There were but few pockets left to pick. Several men who had been robbed insisted that the honest men should band together and attack the thieves for the purpose of recovering the stolen property. The detectives opposed this on the ground that the honest men and the pickpockets were mingled eo closely as not to be dis tinguishable, and, moreover, the thieves coald fight and would fight. "All the thieves returned to Buffalo after the fight, and word of their com ing was sent to police headquarters from the first landing place. When the boat tied np at the foot of Main street, a hundred policemen and all the detect ive force were there to meet it. About 3C0 or 850 thieves were marched out two abreast and lined up on the wharf. They were told that they were to be escorted out of town, and they, made no protest. With the policemen and de tectives as herders and drivers, the crooks were marched to the central sta tion and corralled there under close guard. When a train for New York was made up, the thieves were escorted aboard it and were watched till it reached the city line. "A few years later a big gang of pickpockets went to another fight at Long Point, but in size and expertness it did not approach the gang that went to the Mace-Ccburn fight. A the Han lan-Courtney rowing match at Chau tauqua lake was another big gathering of pickpockets. They had things their own way and reaped a big harvest. For instance, a detective's pocket was pick ed, but the thief who did the job was induced to return the property. Five minutes later the detective's pocket waa picked a second time, and he was so chagrined that he did not endeavor to \ecover the plunder. But, as I said, the greatest gathering was at the Mace Coburn fight. twas the last great rally of the topnotch crooks, and if you ask any old time crook he will tell you how he longs for another such expedition: It will never be.

He was playing the part of Achmet, a particularly villainous character, who after a long career of crime is, to the general satisfaction of the audience, captured by two British soldiers and promptly hanged. "One night, while struggling with my captors, the rope slipped from my Bhoulders and knotted itself around my neck jbst as I was being hauled upl" says Mr. Hicks. "Never shall I forget that awful moment. Directly I felt the tug at my neck I gave a convulsive kick and tried to shout 'Stop I' but the word I could not escape from my twitching lips. I could only make a gurgling noise! Frantically I kicked and strug gled. Pain there was none, strangely enough, beyond a choking, suffocating sensation, and I could hear the tumul tuous applause of the audience, who were hugely entertained with what they imagined was my realistic acting. "Then a terrible sensation, like mol ten lead rushing down my spine, per vaded my whole body, and I thought my legs were bursting. I gave another mighty struggle and strove—ah I how I strove—to scream. I seemed to behold a mighty rush of green water, and my ears were filled with the roar of a cata ract. I have a dim recollection of see ing a great crimson sun shining dimly from behind the waterfall, and I can remember falling indefinitely through space! 'Two days afterward I recovered con sciousness, and then I suffered inde scribable agony. The suffocating sen sation still remained, but it was ac companied by an unquenchable thirst, not to mention fearful pains in my body and limbs. CONJURED A TREATY. in he a a A a a I to S is During the French conquest of Al geria (1830-1833) negotiations for peace were entered upon with the sheiks of certain Arab tribes, and a meeting for the settlement of terms was arranged to take place at the French headquarters. The French officers received their guests with great hospitality, and after the banquet given in their honor, at which the utmost splendor was employed, in order to dazzle their eyes and captivate their simple minds, an adjournment was made to a large hall, where M. Houdin, the celebrated conjurer, who had accompanied the French forces, gave an exhibition of his skill. They stared in open mouthed wonder at all the tricks that were performed, and'a feeling of awe crept over them as they witnessed the mysterious appear ance and disappearance of various ob jects. But what appeared to them most marvelous was the apparent manufac ture of cannon balls. M. Houdin passed round among them a high hat, which they examined very carefully, but with out suspecting anything unusual in ei ther its make or its appearance, the hat was returned to him the con jurer placed it on the floor in the mid dle of the stage in full view of his an dience. He then proceeded to take from the hat cannon balls apparently with out number, and rolled them across the floor into the wings. With this the per formance terminated. The chiefs then consulted among themselves and came to the conclusion that it was useless to offer any opposi tion to an army that could turn out its ammunition in so easy a manner. They therefore signed the required treaty and departed to tell their- friends in the desert of the wonderful power of the invaders.—Cincinnati Enquirer. A W a W a A young Austrian nobleman, who had the reputation of being a brilliant talker, made a wager with a club friend that during the first year of his mar riage with the daughter of a certain count he would preserve a rigid silence when in her presence, and, in fact, would not speak a single word to her. This resolution he faithfully kept but, owing to the fact that the wager was not made public, some very curious con sequences ensued. His wife, believing him to be insane, privately sent a brain specialist to ex amine the taciturn gentleman. was on the point of being conveyed to a sanatarinm when he disclosed the rea son of his behavior. When the year was up, he claimed his wager, which was duly paid.

There is a certain Chicago bride who recently decided that her husband waa an unfeeling brute and went home to mother for a peculiar and unusual rea son. The mother was awakened just be fore dawn one morning last week by a sound of sobbing and weeping outside her own sleeping room door. Her hor ror and astonishment at discovering her only daughter in the depths of apparent desolation and despair can well be im agined. "Charlie was cru-u-n-el to me, wailed the bride of a month or there abouts mournfully, "and so I came home." "But what did Charlie do—-the wretch 1" inquired the mother, ready to blame the husband on general prin ciples. To this question, however, the bride returned no answer save bitter weeping. Then the mother, feeling that the case was beyond her, administered a nerve restorative and awoke the bride's father. "Now, my child," began this indi vidual, speaking with the authority of one who had settled all her difficulties from the time she could walk, "tell me immediately what that wretch of a husband of yours has done and he shall suffer for it whatever it is." The bride's ardor cooled perceptibly. Her voice was almost steady as she be gan her story. "Well," she commenced bitterly, her eyes flashing at the remembrance of her wrongs, "Charlie was ont very late last night, and I thought I'd get np and—and—say something to him— when he came home. I had thought that so long as Charlie was gcing to be so late home I'd—I'd fix up my com plexion a little. So, when Charlie got into bed in the spare room, I just for got everything but him and went in there. And—and"—bitter sobbing again—"I forgot all about the beauty mask I had en and went right in with it upon me. And"—a perfect paroxysm of tears half drowned her words at this point—"Charlie must have thought I was a ghost, and he threw a pillow at me."—Chicago Inter Ocean. FIGURES WITH FINGERS.

One of the most notable perhaps was that of an engineer in the fire de partment of Louisville. His age was 65, and he was on duty during a tre mendous fire, for 15 consecutive hours. The spray was constantly flying from the hose, and he became, in consequence of the lowness of temperature of the atmosphere, covered from head to foot with ice. wore a skullcap and a helmet on the top of that, so that his head was the warmest part of his body and not at all exposed, though his eye brows and whiskers became wet and were frozen stiff.
