a PlCKPOCKET IN CHURCH.

An Unexpected Incident at tho Service of
the New York Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference.
New York, April 1O.-Duling the
session Of the New York Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
III Calvary Church, at One Hundred
and Thirtyninth street and Seventh
avenue, there have been several Occa-
SiOnS when the members Of the Con-
ference and others who attended the
meetings. had occasion to complain
that either attempts had been made
lost money while entering or leaving
to pick their pockets or that they had
the church.
On two occasions the acts of the
plcltpockct were so deliberate as to
leave uo doubt that the criminal was
a professional The Rev. DR.. Day.
pastor of the church, called the atten-
ton of the police to the incidents,
and Captain Hooker detailed several
men i'll civilians clothing to watch
for the Ollrndcrat the service on Sun
day morning. The announcement
that Bishop Goodscll was to preach
brought together Il very large
audience, and among the attendants
was Mrs. Reed, one of the most active
OF the ladies connected with the
church. When the services were
concluded Mrs. Reed walked with
some of her friends toward the CEN
tral exit Of the church, where there
are placed contribution boxes to
receive money for the assistance of
missionaries. Mrs. Reed placed
some money IN one of these, and was
about TO put her hand IN her pocket
III order to get her handkerchief
when she found hand there.
She turned quickly and discovered
II neatly dressed woman, about forty
years Old, wearing shawl Of Paisley
manufacture and II very jaunty hat.
Mrs. Reed followed the arm of the
intruding hand and graspcd the wo-
mans shawl, cXclaiming:
"Iou thief, take your hand from
my pockets!
The woman mnttcrcd something
and tried to take her hand away, but
IN her hurry it became tangled in the
dress and she could not cxtricatc it
without tearing Mrs Reeds costume.
She did not hesitate at this, however.
She ripped the dress down the side,
and would have escaped at once had
not Mrs. Reed taken firmcr clutch
upon the pickpockct's shawl and
cIung with all her might, calling for
assistance, her necessity being ap-
parent to those who We're leaving the
church. The thief, seeing that it was
likely shcwould be captured, scratch
eel and tore Mrs. Reeds hands TO
such degree that from very pain
she WAS obliged to rclinQulsh her
hold.
The woman i'll her struggle to get
away lost her shawl and hat. While
the confusion continued she succeed,
ed III rcgaining these and made her
escape, without any of Captain
HookerS men appearing or making
any attempt topursue the woman and
arrest her Several members of the
Conference chased the thief n little
way, but they lost hcr in the rapidly
moving crowd in Seventh avenue.
Mrs. Reed saved her pocketkook, but
ut the expense of badly scratched
hands. The pickpocket can be identi-
fed by Mrs. Reed and those who saw
the occurrence should the police sue
coed in finding her.
