Gamblers slang, too, j .. h.cii made familiar to every one through , tiewsiiapers. Thieves’ slang, however, < not so gciicrallv understood, for the thief, >ui ii, desires'to be unknown, and his is only effective among his confreres. Vhc old talk of the thieves is not so generally lUd as it used to be. lu fact, slang- among t'ireves of eminence in their profession has <;iw l out almost completely, tor the reason fiat talking slang was soon found to be a jri-.-vis of attracting attention—a very unde niable thing to this gentry. Among the ; fry the use of slang still prevails, but the meaning of terms changes more rapidly tmn it used to. Time was when a member pT the crooked fraternity could rattle off live or six sentences entirely unintelligible, „,,,} detective's conversation was a marvel pf mysterious meaning. Slang originating with the thieves has passed now to the news boys and young roughs, who use it almost constantly. Some of it passes into use among letter informed people, hut not much, and too greater part of the “lingo” in use to-day amo ng thieves is as unintelligible to an hon - est man as if it was so much Hottentot. The detectives, if possible, use more slang than a thief, and they keep up with all the addi t oils to the rogues 1 lexicon, for the reason that it is part of a detective’s pride to un derstand the talk, while the thief uses his slang only to convey his ideas sub rosa to iik partners, and not as a linguistic acquire- ment. The use of slang by a detective was laugha bly illustrated not long ago at the four courts, when one of the local lynxes was. out on the witness spind to testify as to the arrest of the defendant. After de claring that the prisoner had several more or less weird ana incomprehensible aliases and was a bad man, the prosecuting attor | ney asked: ••How did you come to arrest him?’ 1 “Well,” replied the detective, “I was go ing down Broadway, and just in front I spied ‘his nobs.’ I ‘piped’ him awhile, and then he got his ‘lamps’ on me and ‘screwed bis nut' and ‘lammed.’” The foreman of the jury was just on the point of calling for an interpreter when the lawyer translated the detective’s testimony, explaining that “his nobs” was defendant, that “piping” was watching, “lamps” meant eyes, and that when the man “screwed his nut and lammed” he started to run away. The explanation of a case by a detective, if printed in his language, would to the gen eral reader look like a sample of the new language which some crank in Europe has invented for universal use. In the language of the thieves all men who violate the laws of meum and team, whether by force, fraud or ingenuity, are “crooks,” but “crooks” are subdivided into other classes. The liank burglar is a “gopher,” and “dip,” “wire,” “tool," are the names for a pickpocket. A “moll wire” is one who robs women only, and a very slangy crook might in a moment of slang-slinging enthusiasm substitute for the term another, “moll buzzer.” A woman is a “moll,” while a boy is always a “kid.” If the burglar goes by himself he is a “sin glefooter. A “stall” is one who watches while n burglar works or engages the atten tion of victims while pickpockets are at work. A man or an institution selected to he robbed or victimized is a “mark;” a highwayman is a “string-arm man” and the act of highway robliery is “holding up.” “Bloke" is a common term originally mean ing a party to be robbed, but now used as a kind of reproachful term signifying that a party is “no good.” The confidence man is a “eon. man.” If he plays three-card monte be is a “monte spieler,” and, as. the game requires more than one to make it work, the crowd is tennis 1 a “monte mob.” The vic tim of the confidence man is a “mark” or a “guv,” and if he be an old man he is re spectfully alluded to as a “happy guy.” If be falls into the tr ap easily he is “dead sure to lose his stuff,” stuff being the crooks’ term for the root of all evil. Stolen prop erty is “swag.’’ When it is hidden it be romes “plant.” When taken from its hid ing place the act is called “raising the plant.” A smart person Is “fly.” If a thief is smart he receives credit therefor in being termed “a dead fly mug.” The detective would say “he is people he is,” or “he’s smooth people.” When a crook is not doing jiiueh he is having “tough leather,” or tough chewing.” When lie is busily en gaged he is “getting in his graft” or grafting.” 1 he confidence man when at work is "copping off stuff.” If he has much trouble in getting the money it is “hard,” if not • asy money. ’ To a burglar the operation i getting into a safe is “cracking the box.” to the pickpocket a handkerchief is a i.T lpe ’„ a " a “super,” the chain a slang, a gold chain “red,” a silver one "lute,” Gold is or used to bo “ridge.” All unsophisticated man is a “gray.” A liorson "■no knows crooks and their wuys is ‘‘dead un. and his posting possible victims is call ; knocking.” When a thief is captured is ‘pinched” or “collared,” if by a detee i , e ’ n “fly;” >f by a common policeman, .I natty. If iu s victim identifies the tuiot that worthy declares that the “l.loko” npiKsi to him. When in jail he’s in lmck or in the “cooler,” and if lie newts a lawyer he employs a “mouthpiece.” The judge is tile “beak,” and if the crook is convicted ho is “settled,” his term desig nated hs “time,” being divided into ' fetches instead of years and “moons” instead of months. “Daylight” means lib , y nll'T imprisonment, and when lie s|‘aks ol Ins incarceration the crook alludes m,having, “done his bit” “over ihcrond." „ “ stiff” means telling u lie; putting 4, , . iwa on matters is expressed l>y inuking a dead front.” If the thief is I' m 3 then he is afraid, and, if he objects end, ho declares himself, lie makes a “beef.” o |-laci-, where stolen property is kept is a ’'■nee, the proprietor a fencer.

When the thief gets Ills “bit,” that is, his share of tin* “swag," stolen property, he generally puts it, in “sparks;" if he doesn’t get his “bit” he is “done our of it," or “put in tho hole.” When he has his “bit” he is “flying high," hut his soaring may put the detec tives “on to him,” and they promptly “hip” or “pinch" him, und lu then enjoys a “fall.” Then he condemns himself for a “sucker.” or worse still, a “chump,” and kicks himself when he remembers the crooks’ motto that “There’s a sucker born everyday in the year,” and he’s one of them. Honest people are “straight,” but the thief Ivelieves that every body wants to make money, and that every one is “out of the stuff.” This being the case, he’s out for it, too, and lie is an “easy money man.” Detectives, lie declares, don’t hesitate to “shake down" a thief who has any money, and “give him hours” to "skip” out of town that he may not tell of it. Money is either “gix!,”' or “queer,” or “coney.” A counterfeiter is a “coney man” or “koniacker;" he has men who sell it, and they are “dealers;” those who circulate it “shove the queer.” A “headworker” plans criminal operations, the “rappel” encour ages the “sucker” (victim) to put his money into fraudtilent schemes, and the “steerer" picks up men on the street and leads them to places where they can get “skinned.” The victim’s pocketbook is his “leather,” and though the crook who “nicks” the “sucker's” “leather” steals but trash, he who would steal his “monekas” steals that which is dearer to him than life itself. This is a crook’s paraphrase of a famous Shak sperean passage. When the victim loses his money he is generally very much excited, and tries to get it back, which operation is indicated by declaring that he came “belly aching” after it. The chief person of any assemblage is the “main guy,” or perhaps the “head finger.” The “office" is a warning of anv kind to look out,. It used to be a kind of clearing of the throat to spit, but that was worn out. It would attract a thief’s attention almost any time. A cough will do as well. When the “office” is given and answered, then the one giving' it, knows that the other is “tumbled, and that someone is “onto them." If he doesn’t tumble he is liable to get “sloughed up"—i. e., put in prison “Cheese” means stop. “Cheese patter,” stop talking. “Cheese weeden” or “nixey weeden” stop talking slang. “Patter flash” was the old time for talking slang, but it has died out. The burglars’ tools are “nip jiers,” or “tongs,” or “outsiders” for open ing doors from the outside, the “jimmy,” a kind of bar when long or chisel when short, to pry open “jiggers." doors or “glazes," windows, or a “peter” trunk. The officer who goes with crooks to get their secrete is a “pigeon,” but doesn’t generally “front up” until long after the “gang has been pinched” and they are brought up to “tully” (trial). Under the circumstances the best defense is to claim that the defective is “jobbing” them, that is swearing their liberty or life away. The warden of the penitentiary is a “head screw,” and the others are subordinate “screws.” Most thieves believe that they wouldn’t have been caught if they had been alone in jobs or if they hadn’t been associat ing with some unlucky “Jonah,” an appli cation of a biblical incident in a rather un expected place, for thieves don’t often at tend the “gospel mills,” where the Bible is expounded by the “patter coves” or “steeple guys." It is written that all men shall die, hut the “crook” does not. He “croaks” or gets “crooked” (killed), and after his “stiff” has been duly waked he is taken out and “planted” by his “pals," who afterward speak of hini, if regretfully, as engaged in the cheerful and beneficial occupation of “pushing clouds,” or, if he was unpopular, as “doing his long time.” Others have a worse fate still. They become “buggy” and are sent to the “bug house” (insane asylum). Others “double up” (get married) and “square it” (reform), but they are only about 4 per cent. The samples above are but a few. A large book, indeed, would be a complete slang dictionary. Several of these have been published at various times, and those who desire to learn how to talk “under cover” can pursue these studies further by perusing one of those valuable volumes.
