A PRIVATE DETECTIVE AGENCY
ITltm Who Hits Taken to the Spy Sys
tem of learning About Thetr Hnabawb.
[New York Oor. Chicago Journal.}
The opening of a private detective
agency in the midst of the fashionable re
tail trade, where the throngs have ten
women to one man. caused comment a
year ago. Now there are three such con
cerns in the same neighborhood, and each
covers the front of a building with big.
bright lettering. It is clear from the
multiplication of them. and their
occupancy of costly premises on the streets
crowded with shoppers, that their busi
ness is chietiy with women. The fact is
that wives have taken to the spy system
of learning about their husbands, and it
is not at all unusual for maidens to use
the proffered facilities for acquainting
themselves with the actual characters of
their sweethearts. In order to get at the
subject, I asked a bright girl to call upon
one of the agencies with the ostensible er
rand of wishing to have a man shad
owed -"he assented This was _her ex
perience: A boy met her at the entrance—
and ushered her into a small room, where
a man politely gave her a chair and in
quired what he could do for her. She
replied that, for personal reasons, she de
sired to know where and how a certain
geutleman spent hi» time outside of busi
ness hours
“ That is in our Hd« of work, " was the
'' .able reply. “Give us a description of
Ac person and tell us where he can be
Seen* for we have to first get a spot cn
him—that is, identify him—so as to know
whom to follow. If he is in an office or
store. 1 will send a detective on some sort
of pretended errand, and then this man
will point him oat, as he quits his bus! -
ness, to a second, who will shadow him
as long as ordered. Our charge is $8 a
day and expenses—such es car fares, ad
mission to places of amusement, drinks
in a bar-room, or whatever mav be re
quisite in order to keep him under sur
▼eiilence without exciting supicion. It is
safer to employ two men. for that guards
•gainst his sli, ping out of view—a thing
that will sometimes happen, in case he
goes into some house by one door and
comes out by another in that case, the
charge is double, of course. For $lO a
day we will cover the gentleman with two
faithtul detectives from the moment he
leaves home in the morning until he re
turns at night, reporting to you iu writing
every movement of his, and notifying you
by telegraph or messenger, if desired, on
locating him in any place where you
might care to get proof positive by oon
fronting him. *
The manager farther informed her
that, in order to prevent the use of hat
detectives for Mack mailing purposes, his
necessary rule was to be told who she
was and why she wished the spying done
He added that, if she disliked to
explain to him, he would send a woman
in to hear the facta There would seem
to he no insurmountable barrier to the
da..ctives themselves turning blackmail
era The impression of the regular po
lice. however, is that these agencies—or
at least the conspicuous ones—are con
ductou legitimately, If each a word can

Senator avarts has given a law of eti

“if stamped and addressed envelopes and

2 cents in poetage. If one Is obliged to go
to the trouble of writing both autograph

inclosure of loose stamps

me that his autograph request* supplied
him with stamps for corresnondenVe.

loose stamps were appropriated without

Pocket picking in one of the prindpnl
arts in tiuevedom. Occasionally it it
done single handed, but only the cleverest
thieves can thus work alone. For pocket
picking they nearly always go two to
gether—often three occasions'!y four.
Wbaievw the number may be, whether
three or four, the person who really does
the work is called the wire. Suppose
three, one is the wire aud the other twe
are the front aud back stalls. Stalls in
almost always practiced in pocket pick
ing. The stall arts as though he did not
beiorg to the thief, aud vet does all he
can to assist the wire The stalls walk
before or behind -any way so that they
can divert the victim s attention from the
wire and cover his work from any one
who happens to pass by. The wire will
not keep the treasure in his hands long,
but passes it into the hands of one of the
Stalls, who thus becomes the swagsmau or
banker
I’ocaetbookv wheu emptied of their
contents, are thrown sway the tint op
portunity. to avoid identification. in
picking pockets they are guided to their
victim by bis general appearance and
manner Thieves become very expert in
ludging what position persons hold in
life, amt whether they are likely to have
any money about them. Moreover, they
watch people in public places paying or
receiving money, and they will follow
them very long' dislan ea If the victim
wears a gold watch then the thieves are
reconciled to the risk at once, money or
m> money they make sure of a watch.
Ahaencn of miml make* manr a victim
for the pickpocket. And wbeu the per
sou is not preoccupied and absorbed in
his owu thoughts the stalls alway s divert
the victim's attention from the wire by
running against the i ictim. as if by acet
dent, asking him the way to »otuewh<m
or the hour of the day. or by creating
some disturbance.
both malt* and ft*male thieves art* very
cl**v er at wbat they call “fanning poek
eta. " which u done by suddenly. an if by
accident, parsing one hand quickly and
lightly over the pocket and thus (hey can
teTi in a moment which pocket c. utataa

thumb and two forefingers generally of
the right hantL When they get their vic
tim to rights the pocket ta picked i a **io
ment and the gang at once diaper If
the wire gets into trouble by being de
tected or suspected. theu the stalls come
forward, and. acting as if they did not
know the thief, du their uttenuoat to get
him out of the * rape, and clear off.
When money is loose in the pocket the
thieves call it “weeding;* people occa
sionally think that they have Uht or mi*
laid their loose money in going from store
to store; it may be ad. but ofteu the wire
haa been “ weeding. * When ladles pock
eu are so long that the wire s lingers

band to the bottom of the pocket outside
the lad* s drvaa and eery dexterously ami
almost imperceptibly,, lifts the pocket up
lowanl the right hand, and this is called
"punching it up *
The only instrument* used in pocket
picking arc a sharp penknife or a pair of
scissors amt a pair of pliera— the former
for ripping pockets and ladies dresses
the latter for rutting watch guarda
Watches are lakeu from the pocket much
the same as pocket books or purses. A.
thief will a ways make a venture or throw
a chance away, a* he calls it. when he
sees a gold cha a No matter where the
watch of the lady or gentleman is worn,
the thief runs his linger along the guard,
which at once guides him to the watch
If he duds it to Iw a silver watch, he wdi
frequently put it bsckkln disgust, but ho
will run risks for a gold watch If

from the difficulty of the circumstances,
wrench it from the guard; and when n

Laylas la Meat for aa Arctic Winter.
[Lk-ut. Scfa«afl s in New York Timas.}
In the Esquimaus struggle for exist
enoe with a niggardly nature the reindeer
of the north forms uo immaterial part of
the supplies for his well being. Could
we transfer the wool of our sheep, from
which we make our winter clothes, to our
i cattle, from which we obtain our greatest
supply of m -at, we might have an animal
equally as useful as the reindeer is to tbe
Esquimaux, for to them it ts both cloth
ing and food
My party reached the northern shores
of Hudson's hey early in Aifgust, 1(178,
and at once found themselves among the
Esquimaux of that country, who were
eager to offer their servhoe for such com
pensation in the wav of trading material
as the white ueu offered 1 hired directly
and indirectly large numbers of the men
aa reindeer hunters in order to"procure
skins for bedding acd clothing and an
ample supply of the meet, as the idea of
using the flesh of tbe walrus or seal was
very distateful at tint, a distaste, I might
add, that was slowly overcome as we be
came accustomed to Arctic diet
Before the natives, whoa 1 liberally
supplied with arms and ammunition, had
been driven from their intend hunting
grounds by the extreme cold of approach
sn< winder in order to exchange their seal
skin tents for the more comfortable
houses of snow and ioe, fully 500 reindeer
t had been secured, and our minds were re
lieved of all anxiety regarding meat,
clothing and (tedding for the winter.
I Nearly as many more a 4 the animals
[ were secured during the winter before our
main sledge journey was oommenced.
In the follovring spring 522 were added
to the steady large score of about l.OUtt,
so my opportunities for studying the
Arctic deer were certainly ample.
