%It would hardly seem that Portland people
needed to be told again to look out for the
crowd that follows the circus. There are trav-
oilers in its wake who live on the congregation
of honest folk. The police warn people es-
Decially against rushing forth from their houses
today, leaving doors open and windows up,
while the procession goes by the door or by the
next corner. Last year the thieves who lie in
wait for such chances, made number of sue
cessful Eaids, and escaped richer by silver
watches and family knick knscks.

cane racks, baby racks, ring boards and striking
machines which are all swindling. request you to
refuse them license; also all nickel scrapers side

and anything can do for you while in your city
Will cheerfully do. Respectfully,
JOHN COOPER
Detective of Barnum, Bailey Il Hutchinson's
Show, Pinkerton's Agency.
A circular of Pinkerton's defines some of
them as follows:
"Tramps, pick-pockets. sneak thieves, three-card
monte men, dice throwers, manipulators of ring
and patent medicine vendors, pocket-book sellers
confidence men, striking machines, the noise of
which fTlghtens horses; also what is known as the
baby rack throwing base balls, and toy balloon
vendors, etc."
The management of the show maintains
full organization of detectives, and does every
thing possible to protect the people.
