    SEASON OF SHOPLIFTERS.
they make most of the holiday
SHOPPING PERIOD.
TFUh Thousands of Dollars’ Worth of
Goods Lying Loose at This Time of
the Year Great Will Be the Work
of the Thief—Discriminating Between
the Vulgar Woman Thief and the
Poor Woman Tempted the Store
Detective Has on Hand a Very
Delicate Task.
From the -Veto York Herald.
Slowly the woman went through the store
for an hour or more. She priced this and
that: she sat down and chatted with friends;
she 'bought trifling articles. There was a
great holiday throng in the big place; there
was noise and confusion; the sharp, metallic
cries of the cash girls resounded above the
din.
By and by the woman asked the price of
feathers.
The busy and obliging clerk told all about
the styles that obtaiued in feathers for
women’s hats. The woman who bad inquired
sat there listening intently. She was
stylishly olad. Now and again people pass
ing in the store looked at her with admira
tion.
Finally the woman sitting there so quietly,
toying with the splendid diamonds on her
jeweled hands, concluded she would buy.
I ,Sbe took out her pooket book and piaoed it
on the counter.
“Show me that!”
As she said this she pointed to some beauti
ful tips in a case bebiud the shop girl.
That worthy turned to comply.
Look at that!
Vuiok as a flash the grand lady nipped up
a number of feathers out of the heap in front
other, and with a trained, deft motion,
shuffled tnern out of sight, somewhere, In
the direction of the floor.
It was all done so suddenly that the eye
oould not follow the flight of her Angers.
The shop girl turned around again and
continued to talk of feathers.
With a show of displeasure the woman
Anally picked up'her purse and went away.
She moved quickly toward the door.
Sho passed to the street.
At the corner she was confronted by a man.
"Alailam. come with me!”
As the man said this, in a low tone, he
beckoned toward the store.
The womsn turned with an air of Injured
innocence, pouted, stamped her pretty foot
and made a feint to move off.
A crowd collected.
She was led away.
Well, what of it! O, nothing. She was
mersly taken to the examination rooms,
where SSUO worth of silks, laces and feathers
were taken from her by the store detective
and his woman aids.
That man who bad followed and had ac
costed her was a famous store deteotive of
Gotham.
He Is one of a large and influential class.
His duties are peculiarly delicate.
Think of a man who is paid to see that
the darling ladies do not steal!
Yes, paid; and paid well.
He must have an eye that never sleeps,
for women are the shrewdest of the shrewd,
aid at this season there are thousands of
dollars’ worth of property lying withiu
reach of their slender fingers.
THICKS OF TUB TRADE.
There are some mighty queer looking fel
lows following the ladies about in these days
in the dry goods houses. There is no need
of begging the question or of getting behind
the door in speaking of this matter, for it’s a
solemn truth about the woman shoplifter—
a:.d the sensible girl will be ready to ac
knowledge, no doubt, before this season’s
shopping is over that even she, upright and
honest to the lest degree, noticed a horrid
looking man glaring at her the day her An
gers dallied too long over those tidbits of
jewelry in the splendid bazar.
It was ihe store detective, and you should
look out for him.
The genuine shoplifter is a woman who
brings art in aid of her trade. She has the
iuside of her skirt armed with a huge
pocket.
She does her work by slight of hand.
She will sit down like the lady who was
stuff after feathers and, when she has a lot
of’>pread out in front of her, she will
deliberately brush some of it into the big
pocket of her skirt.
Sitting very close to the counter, there is
but little fear of detection, especially siuoe
she usually manages to distract the atten
tion of the salesman.
Then she goes to another part of the store
and plies her trade over again.
The store detective divides his time equally
between watching the lady’s hands and her
walk. She wobbles when she walks. This
is the way the shoplifter is usually deteoted.
After she has loaded down her bag with
silks and small articles the stuff is likely nine
times out of ten to ‘’cant” over to one side,
causing her drees to hang lopsidod and react
ing upon her walk in such a fashion as to
make her gait unsteady and wobbly.
She steers left footed or right footed.
That is the signal for the deteotivs, and
be loses no time in folio wingAhe woman and
in demanding when he stops her that she
submit to examination.
Of course she always protests that this is
an outrage.
It is a serious matter, too, to halt a woman
those days and tell her that sh 9 must submit
to being searched. Mistakes do happen, no
doubt; but then the store detective is a man
who understands bis business. After all,
he takes very few chances. He usually
sees the woman in the act of stealing, or
maybe the clerk will miss something and
toll him just in time—if he is iucky enough
to be passing.
Another way of catching the shoplifter is
by the telltale silk or cloth wrapper left
the empty on the counter where theft hasn
take plaoe.
All ladies who patronize the dry goods
*ti res know that cloth and silk are usually
put up with an outer covering for protection.
'lbis paper wrapper Is unfolded as the clerk
show the goods. When a piece of silk oroloth
is sold the wrapper is retained by the clerk,
as there are certain private marks on it.
1 base are used In checking up the sales.
Jiow, then, when a shoplifter nips apiece of
silk or cloth she invariably leaves the wrap
per on the counter She cannot make away
with it, as it would expose her. ft would
take too long to publioly wrap it about the
silk. Lying half in the silk and half out of
It, the easiest way for the shoplifter to do Is
tug away at the doth, and, securing the
prize, leave the paper shell behind on the
counter.
As soon as the clerk sees the empty paper
before him, perhaps partly ooncealed in a
mass of odds and ends, he says:
‘Helloo, wbat’s this? Is it a sale or a
theft?”
It does not take him long to discover the
true state of affairs. The alarm is given;
the woman is shadowed, perhaps spotted,
detained and searched.
The goods are recovered and the woman
Is arrested.
THE POCKETBOOK TRICK.
There is a little game that the store detect
ives will tie looking out for these days,
known prr fessionally among thieves as nip
lung pocket bnoks--and a very clever thing it
to. In same respects it is better than
shoplifting. It Is easier to work, the profits
are usually large, and all in all, it is a good
game to try.
A woman goes into a big bazar and begins
pricing articles. She lavs her purse down
on the counter. Thousands and thousands
of women do this. It is very careless, but
there is no remedy for it; it is one of the
peculiarities of the shopper, this laying
down of pocket books.
Tho woman next to the owner of the
Purse is a thief.
As soon as the real owner's bead in turned
"nip,” and the poeketbook is gone! The
other woman—the thief, the one on the
"mnke”--simply picks up the pocket book
and walks off. There is not one chance in a
dozen that she will be caught.
Tha crowdala big storeaara very
large. A step or two and she is
lost to view. Then the other woman turns
around.
“Where Is my purse*” she says.
Not know ing exactly where she placed it
—her mind is abstracted by the show of
Dretty things ou the counters and on the
shelves—she is undecided for a moment or
two. She fumbles through her pockets, in
her wrap, in her skirt. She, good, honest
soul, never dreams that she has teen
robbed. Then she looks the under heaps of
articles jumbled together on the counters
near where she was standing. Or, perhaps,
she has taken two, and realy dosen't
recall where she placed the book, when it
finally dawns on her that she did put it on
the counter.
The search lasts several minutes.
In the meantime the thief has escaped.
WEST INDIA FISHERMAN.
Wonderful Skill Shown Ey the Na
tives In Their Dug Out Boats.
From the New York Time*.
One of the few interesting exhibitions of
skill that one sees In knocking about among
the West India islands is the catching of
fish by the natives.
The Caribs are the personification of idle
ness when seen ashore atiout their huts and
in the streets of the towns. They never
seem to have anything at ail to do and al
ways appear to be perfectly contented to
snooze about in the made in utter disregard
of what the morrow may bring forth. Put
them, however, in one of their little dug
out canoes, with a paddle in their hands,
and they are all movement and grace as
they send their frail oraft spinning along
over the beautiful blue waves or guide them
with surprising agility in through the
foaming, white-crested breakers that, to
the uninitiated, look as though they were
savage enough to swallow up the cookle
shell boats and their too venturesome occu
pants.
How many of them fail to return there
are no means of ascertaining, but it is quite
safe to say that an occasional accident must
happen where so many and such great risks
are run. There is usually but one occupant
to a canoe, but in spite of this fact and in
defiance of the burning rays of the tropical
sun, he frequently manages to cover miles
and ndles before the v. ork Is over and a
proper mess has been oaptured.
Where the fish run close to the surface a
spear supplements the hook and line, but as
a general thing the tackle is the sole reliance.
Small fish oaught close in shore or the soft
Dart of shellfish form the bait. The hook Is
baited and allowed to trail considerably
astern, the end of the line being secured to
a pin on the gunwale or to the spare seat,
and then a round turn is taken over one of
the big toes of the fisherman.
The paddle Is handled to perfection ad is
dipped into the water so quietly that not a
splash Is seen nor a sound heard, while the
boat is sent ahead at a moderate speed, with
only a minimum disturbance to the water.
The slightest nibble and down goes the
paddle into tbe boat, and with both hands
the line is hauled In. All of these move
ments are so perfectly made that the 2-foot
wide oraft remains without a semblance of
rocking, and, indeed, when the fish is close
alongside it is hard to see that any ad
ditional motion is given the boat.
This is all the more remarkable when
one considers that the Spanish mackerel,
barraoouta, or whatever the fish may be
are often very large. Some of the latter
are over seven feet end weigh about thirty
pounds. These are exceptions, to be sure,
but one frequeutly sees fish hauled in as
large as our good-sized blue fish and quite
as active, and this, too, with the utmost
ease and entire freedom from excitement.
The flesh of this fish is firm and sweet, and
when cooked within an hour or two of the
time they are caught compare very favor
ably with tbe best found in our own waters.
ft?ln the place* where flying fish are plenti
ful a larger craft is taken, cue that is capa
ble of holding several people and can carry
a mast and sail. These boats are taken at
night time to spots which are uoted as favor
ite feeding or breeding places and there
anchored. The sail is kept set,as itjis a very
prominent feature of the undertaking. The
generally calm nights of the tropics admit
of this being done without running any risk
of capsizing the boat.
A fire is built in the middle of the boat so
that the glare will strike directly against
the white sail, which can be seen at a con
siderable distance. After everything has
quieted down, a little splash is heard in the
water, followed almost immediately by a
sound of something striking against the sail
cloths and a thud as something falls into tbe
bottom of the boat.
All this is occasioned by a flying fish
which, attracted by the light and the white
sail and impelled by curiosity and his mo
tive power, has sprung from the water only
to find himself a prisoner and one of a large
number who follow in quick succession to
contribute their share toward decorating
the fishmongers’ stand in the morning.
One would naturally thing that, having
such long pectoral fins, or wings, as they
are generally termed, in addition to the
large number of bones allowed the ordinary
fish. It would be pretty hard to And a plans
to put much meat. But such is by no means
the case, as they are very nice “eating,”
and are as nice pan fish as one would oare to
have for breakfast.

Aberdeen, 0.. July SI, 1891.
Messrs. Lippman Hr- s.. Savannah , Ga.:
Dear Si as—l bought a bottle of your V. P. P,
at Hot Springs, Ark . and It has done me more
good than three months’treatment at the Hot
Springs.
Have you no agents in this part of the coun
try, or let me know how much it will cost to get
three or six bottles from your city by express.
Respectfully yours. Jambs M. Newton.
Aberdeen, Brown County, O.
Newnansvidle, Fla., Junes, 1891.
Messrs. Lippman Bros., Savannah. Ga.:
Pear Sirs—l wish to give my testimonial in
regard to your valuable medicine, p. P. P., for
the cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia,
biliousness, etc. In 1861 1 was attacked with
bilious muscular rheumatism, and have been a
martyr to it ever since. I tried all medicines I
ever heard of. and all the doctors in reach, but
I found only temporary relief; the pains were
so bad at times that 1 did not care whether I
lived or died. My digestion became bo un
paired that ever) thing i ate disagreed with me.
My wife also suffered so intensely with dys
pepsia that her life was a burden to her; she
would tie confined to her bed for weeks at a
time; she also suffered greatly from giddiness
and loss of sleep. Some time in March I was
advised to lake I*. P. R, and before we (my
wife and Ii bad linished the second bottle of P.
P. P our digestion began to improve. My paius
subsided so much that I have been able to w ork
an i am feeling like doing wha. I haven't done
before in a number of years. We will continue
taking P. P. D. until we ore entirely cured, and
will cheerfully recommend it to all suffering
humanity. Yours very respectfully.

ENOCH WITH VARIATIONS.
Finds Hla Wife True After 20 Years,
Gets Drunk a id Goes to Prison.
From the Philadelphia Timet.
A case embodying some of the features of
an Enoch Arden romance, but ending rather
differently, came before Magist ate Don
nelly yesterday, when Walter B. Snee was
arraigned ou a charge of non-support pre
ferred by his wife, Mary Elizabeth Snee of
Somerville.
Mrs. Snee had not seen her husband for
twenty years until two months ago, when
he entered her home and surprised her as
greatly as if be had returned from the tomb.
When he departed ha was a resident of
Jenkintown. aud for ten waarv years his
faithful wife lived in expectation that he
would return, if not for her sake, for the
happiness of a twin boy and girl he left
fatherless and in almost destitute circum
stance*. After waiting for years for his
return Mrs Mies mourned her truant hus
band as dead and resigned herself to his
absence, while she worked at best she oould
for the support of tbe children and herself.
The boy and girl have now grown to man
hood and womanhood, and all are living
together in peace aud comfort.
“Before he left home,” said Mrs. Snee, in
testifying against her husband, "he was
profitably employed by the Heading rail
road as locomotive engineer on the North
Penn branch. There was no trouble iu our
domestio circle, and while we were not
boarding money our home was cue of peace
and happiness. Five years after our mar
riage two children were born, and the
Christmas following their birth their father
left one morning and was praotically dead
to them for twenty years. When he re
turned, the o lldren, of course, did not
know that he was tha father who bad left
them in their infancy, and I hardly recog
nized him, because he did not look like his
former seif. 1 gave him as warm a wel
come as I could under such unusual cir
cumstances, and told him be was welcome
to ihe privilegssof my home. Toe ohildren,
too, were delighted to see him.
“But while every IP erty was accorded
him I decided unless he lived as a man
ought to that he oould not remain. I have
a nicely furnished home, the profits of my
own hard labor, aud what I have said for
twenty years has be n law. My husbaud
failed to pay me the compliment of remain
ing sober, and he refused to contribute a
penny of money be had earned since he
came baok, and I decided to compel him to
do it or go to prison
When Mrs. Knoe finished her evidence
she sobbed so loudly that she was heard
over the court room.
Snee was prompt to acknowledge that he
had failed to provide for his wife and family
during those twenty years. “When I wan
dered off,” he said, "I joined the United
States army, and for five years I was in
service in Texas, Idaho and the Dakotas.
My period of enlistment ended while I was
on Governor’s Islaud, and I bad S3OO to my
credit. After receiving my money I crossed
to New York city, where 1 was robbed. I
expected to return borne and present my
wife with the money, but I was so grieved
over the disappointment that I sailed on a
whaler, and furtive years I was thus em
ployed, chiefly on tbe southern coast of
Africa.
“1 then returned to San Franoiseo.and five
years more was sjient on a seal catching
vessel. 1 made money and lost it in specula
tion, and was as poor as when I started.
The remaining five years was spent pros
pecting in Colorado, but I made nothing
more than a day’s pay. I finally ooncluded
to come east, and when I arrived the wife
of twenty years before pretended she didn’t
know me, and ordered me off. I remained,
and since then she has made it uupleasant
for me in every possible way.”
“Have you any money left after all those
years!” asked the magistrate.
Snee answered “No.”
“ Then you can go to the house of correc
tion for the period of one year.”
Mrs. Snee passed out the door weeping,
while her daughter looked very queerlv at
her father, who had ju6t been taken in
charge by the constable.
TWO GREAT PABTURKB.
One at the Eastern End of Long Island
and One on Chlncoteague.
From the iietv York Sun.
Perhaps the largest pasture field In the
eastern states lies on Long Island, scarcely
more than 100 miles from New York, yet
fifteen miles from a railway station, and
not easily approachable on horseback. The
Do Id occupies the southeastern corner of the
island out to Montauk Point. It was onoe
part of the old Sbiuneoock Indian rsseira*
tion, but when tbore ceased to ba any In
dians to reserve the state sold the reserva
tion to a rich New Yorker named Benson,
and he undertook to put the region to use us
a sort of ranch. He got tired or disoouraged,
however, and he now rents it for pasture to
Long Island farmers at sl3 a year per head
of horses or cattle, and as some thousands
of stock roam the pasture he gets a very
pretty sum out of it, pending the time when
his friend Austin Corbin shall run a rail
road down through the pasture field to fetch
up to New York passeugers who come from
Europe by those long promised four-day
ships.
Amagansett is the last Long Island vil
lage before you oorne to the pasture. From
hire Island to Amagansett the southern
shore of Long Island is in a large part
made up of a low, flat, sandy beach, with
sand dunes just a few hundred yards in
land, and a rough growth of stunted timber.
A mile beyond Amagaußett the Island rises
into hills, olad with sorubby forests, and a
few miles fuither east the southernsnore i. a
precipitous bluff from 100 to Slid feat high.
Here begins the great pasture field. A fenoe
is built across the narrow neck from the
ooaau (bluff to Gardiner’s bay, and the
whole stretoh to Momauk Point, 5 miles
long and from 1% to 4 miles wide, is a
single great field. There are two houses of
entertainment between the fence and the
Montauk Point light. These are patronized
chiefly by sportsmen. At another point
near the light there is a duster of summer
villas. The rest of the area Is dotted with
cattle, sheep, and horses running wild for
most of the j ear. The only other enclos
ures are corrals of a few acres, into which
the cattle are driven when the owners wish
to niok out their own and drive them home.
The brand and the lariat are not employed
in the great pasture field of Long Island,
but the cattle are driven into the corral by
mounted farmers and are known by ear
marks, peculiar notches in the ears. Several
thousand cattle are thus corralled at one
time, and tbe farmers ride in to identify
their own by the ear marks. Fresh w ater
ponds, big and little, afford drink and in
ordiuary seas ms, when drought has not ut
terly parched the land, there are small
streams running among the bills. The
grass is coarse and somewhat scant, but the
large area of tbe pasture enables the cattle
to find an abundance of food. Late in the
autumn the farmers ride down in small
cavalcades from the region about Amagan
sett to pick out their stock and have the
beasts driven home for tbe winter.
Not so large as the great pasture of Long
Island is the ,unfenced plain at the south
ern end of Chlncoteague Island, off the
Virginia coast, where a few hun
dred wild ponies, small cattle,
sheep and geese roam over about
3,000 aores of grass. The climate of Chln
coteague and on the neighboring islands
is mild enough to admit of pasturing horses
and cattle all winter without shelter and
without care. Many islands fringing the
Maryland coast have long been used for
pasturing cattle, sheep and hogs, the creat
ures being left unbended a. and visited perhaps
not above twice in a season. A pioturesque
sight at Chlncoteague is the arrival of a
soow from one cf tbe neighboring islands
with a load of wild cattle. The creatures,
perhaps a score or so together, are driven
on board an open-decked soow with a peril
ous railing about the bulwarks. The scow,
once laden, is attached by a line to a
schooner, and the latter gets up sail to tow
its unwieldly convoy. As the schooner
tacks, tbe scow swings awkwardly into her
wake, and all those wretched beasts stagger
back and forth upon their uncertain sea
legs, and every moment threaten to tumble
off into the waves.
