A Chicago Thieves College.

According to Deputy Jailer John Harper.
the most successful "thieves' college that
ever existed in Chicago was the one presided
over by Paddy Burns. Paddy is now await
ing trial in Missouri town for pocket-pick-
ing. As a professor of the art of nipping .
"wipe." or a sleather" he is among the most
accomplished in the country. In 1876 Paddy
had some rooms over saloon at the corner
of Franklin aud Hill streets. Here he taught
his pupils. Sending out his son to bring in
young boys. the old man soon had \ class
that learned the art of pocket-picking, well,
and to-day his pupils are scattered over the
country, either doing good work in their line
or doing time in some prison.
Deputy Jailer Harper tells of one evening
when he tracked his own brother. who has
since become known as the -'notorious Eddie
Harper" to Paddy's den. When Mr.. Har-
per entered. old man Burns was just instruct
ing the boys in the art of snatching a lady's
pocket book. To accomplish the trick .
small piece of iron was used. One Of the
boys would be told to walk through the
room, holding purse in his hand. Another
boy would carelessly walk past him, strike
him sharp blow on the hand with the iron,
the purse would fall from the first ones hand,
and the trick was done. 1t is so done on the
streets to-day. Other lessons followed and
there is not branch of the business that
the scholars have not picked up.
Afterward Paddy Burns removed his "col-
lege to" saloon at Wells street and Chicago
avenue. His professorship continued, and
he turned out other graduates of his special
art who have become noted in police circles.
His own son, reputed to be the husband Of
Minnie Daley, is an expert pick-p0cket.
Henry Devine, Jimmy Burns, Eddie Dona-
hue. Dave Arado, John Reagan, John
Murphy, Jerry DALEY and John Collins were
some of the boys trained in that school, and
liable to be trained to work in the peniten-
tiary, if they have not already done co.

is erroneous. Such open exposure is a
common condition of fouling. by afforling
an entrance for vermin Of every kind to
