DRIVING OUT THE CROOKS.

The Secret Service Soaring the lad Mo,
Away from the Fair.
| The very small number of arrests o.
crooks at the fair has been frequently
! commented on, and some people have
wondered whether Chief Bonfield'.
force of astute detectives has been
earning its pay. The truth of the mat
| ter is, the crooks are keeping away
from Jackson park. Now and then
one more bold than the rest enters the
Bonfield's men. AS a result, no co1E-
plants of persons beng robbed at the
fair are being made.
Talking of crooks in general and the
possible figure they may cut at the
worlds fair, Chief Is onfield said:
$50 far as the fair grounds are con-
cerned we have seen very few profes.
SIGNALS around, and those whom our
men have spotted are usually men who
have served time for their offenses and
against whom there is nothing except
suspicion on account of previous rec
ords. We have men who have had op-
portunities to become familiar with
nearly all the prominent crooks of the
country, and when any of these crooks
come around the grounds they find they
are recognized at once and usually do
not stay long. Even if they had any
idea of going into the crooked. bust
ness again they would not be likely to
carry on operations al Jne grounds as
they are shrewd enough to know that
they would be the first upon whom sus-
picion would fall.
There was a man in the grounds the
other day who five years ago had an in
ternational reputation as a crook, but
he has served time for his offcnse and
now claims to have reformed and to be
engaged in legitimate business. It
would, of course, be an injustice to such
a man to order him off the grounds or
even to give his name to the press. All
we can do under the circumstances is to
let such men understand that they are
known, and that precautionary interest
is being taken in their behalf. This
usually has the desired effect of getting
rid of them if they come with the intent
of doing mischief.
my men outside the grounds advise
me that they have noticed a good many
foreign crooks about the city-con-
fidence and bunlxo men-but as vet we
have had no intimation that they have
commenced operation. They are being
shadowed, and if they make any moves
in the wrong direction they will quickly
be taken in. ~
''Most of the complaints which have
reached us SO far are of the loss of tools
and other articles belonging to the
workmen about the grounds, and in the
majority of cases these losses have
turned out to be cases of misplacing the
articles in question, and they have gen
orally been recovered. 1t is rather
early, anyhow, to expect much trouble
from professional crooks inside the

When there is a daily attendance of

seasons work is done and they can

the necessary application of their per-

Columbian Exposition.
The Number OF visitors Daily lncreasina
"A Aaistake That Some People Are
Making-Beauties OF the
State Exhlblt0.
Especial Chicago Correspondence

The beautiful weather of the past
few days has done much for the great
fair. People have been able to get out
without umbrellas and wraps, and a
trip to jackson park has become some
thing more like a pleasure than it has
been heretofore since the opening. The
effect upon the receipts at the fair gates
has been to nearly double the daily ad-
missions, a fact which affords the hnan-
ciers of the great enterprise much salts
faction.
The tide of traffic may now be said to
have fairly set in, and should the
weather continue favorable the daily
on something like a paying footing.
To judge from the number of persons
who are to be seen on the grounds each
day casual observer would suppose
the gate receipts to be much larger
than they really are, but there is .
force of several thousands of workmen,
and a population of several thousands
more who are domiciled permanently
within the inclosure, SO the size of
the crowd is no guide in estimat ting the
number of paid admissions. Besides
there are the press representatives and
favored individuals in other professions
who have passes Altogether there are
a great many non-paying visitors who,
while they help to swell the crowd, do
not contribute very materially to the
financial success of the enterprise.
There is some danger that people at q
distance who have been influenced by
the newspaper reports of the incom-
pleteness of the fair may make mis-
take in deferring too long their con-
wise to remain away until all the ex-
hibits are installed and everything put
to rights but there will be some dis
comfort consequent upon such course.

The poor little Esquimau children at
the fair have suffered from too much
Kindness. In Iceland, where the Esqui-
maux live, there are no sugar at ali or
any sweet things. And until they were
brought to Chicago the children had
never seen a piece of candy nor as much
as heard of a peanut. But everybody
who visits the Esquimau village is sure
to give the funny little snub-nosed tod
dlers stick of candy or something else
that is sweet And, not long ago, there
was not well baby at the fair, just on
account of the things which the Wis.
itors gave them to eat If people keer
on feeding the children candy out OF
their handbags and cakes from their
unch-baslSets, a woman is to stand
near by and tell every one that candy
makes the children sick and please not
to give them any.

THE COLUMBIAN COINS,

Not Sumctcn mt Demand for Them to Make
1t Pay to Counterfeit Them.
Although such a loud outcrv was
raised just after the Columbian half
dollars were issued about the POSSIBLE
ty of countcrfeiting them, no word has
reached the treasury department of
even an attempt at counterfeiting. OF
course it counterfeiter could work
undisturbed he could make a handsome
profit reproducing the coins just as they
are made at the mint. They contain
thirty-nine cents worth of silver and
they sell for one dollar. But, accord
ing to the Washington Star, the worlds
fair people have had such a hard time
trying to get rid of them at the market
rate, that possibly the counterfciters
feel discouraged. AS none have been
sold at less than one dollar, they could
not put limitations into the market at a
cut rate without exciting suspicion.
And the public does not seem to be
hankering very much for Columbian
half dollars at one dollar each.
Only one attempt has been made to
initiate the new silver coins, so far as is
known in the secret service Office, and
that one was hardly worth considering.
A very poor imitation of the new quar-
ter dollar has been received. 1t is evil

the office door, the electric alarm was
started, frightening the burglars, and
while they remained in the store some
little time after the ringing had COM
uenced, they made their escape safely.
There were several hundreds of dol
lars worth of goods packed and would
have been carried off had it not been
for the ringing of the alarm. The
store was all cluttered up and nuis
ance had been committed back of the
counter.
Mrs. 8. M. Ogden who lives nearby,
heard the noise of entering the store,
aud the ringing of the alarm but paid
no attention to it, thinking it came
from the livery stables nearby.
Night Watchman johnson says he
was at the store about half-past twelve
O'Clock, and says there was nothing
wrong then.
Bert Ham and Barry Grosscup say
they were standing on Williams res
taurant steps at fifteen minutes after
twelve, and heard the alarm, and 60
ing over in front of the store saw the
fellows going out of the back door.
One of the fellows must have been
good sized, for two or three coats
were found which showed that they
had been tried on, and the coats were
numbers 40 and AZ.
There seems to be no clue now to
the robbers, and 1t would seem as If
they had made their escape for good.
One of the most remarkable things
about the entire affair, is the fact that
these two burglars remained In the
store fully ten minutes after the alarm
had sounded.
