SOME P|CEPOCKET TRICKS
Slippery Gentry Reap a Harvest in
Holiday Times.
Shoppers Are Quite Easy - AL
though the Large Stores Are
HOneycombed With Detectives,
Few Of the Adopts Are Ever Con
victed OF Theft.

New York, December 13.-The holi
day season is supposed to bring joy and
gladness to every one, but che detective
force of the City is perhaps the exception
which proves the rule.
Christmas time to them is period Of
ceaseless work, unlimited bother and
oftentimes with not much to show for
their labors. 1t is the harvest time OF
the pickpocket and the sneak thief and
they haunt the shopping district in
drOves. What makes it particularly
aggravating to the police is, that this
class of criminals is the most difficult
to deal with Cowardly and shrewd
and gifted with perverted intelligence
which is constantly employed to create
new schemes by which lit can safely fol-
low the trade and prosper
Men versed in the different types OF
criminals agree that the pickpocket and
sneak thief are hopeless from stand
point of possible reformation. They
represent the lowest strata in criminol-
ogy. because their vocation is carried
on without personal danger. Their ma
lures in time become honeycombed
with evil and there is nothing substan-
tial enough lef. on which to build a
structure of honesty. On the other
hand. the burglar or highway robber
must possess some kind of courage and
where there is courage there is a chance
Of reformation.
THE CRIMINAL POPULATION.
Estimates recently made place the
number of professional criminals in this
country at 100000 and the bulk of the
whole number in the five largest cities.

centres during the holiday season, even

Old Brother John.

One of the most familiar figures
around the Catholic Mission for
almost half century died of old
age yesterday. To every one in
Honolulu with whom he came in
contact outside the mission he was
known only as Brother John"
His name before entering the
Catholic Church as a lay brother
was John Francis Pillet. He was
born In Belgium in 1914 and came
here in 1S4S. Every one who
knew him respected him for his
quiet kindly manners-tO each
question answered or favor done
there was always a cordial thank
you" from him.
He was forced TO retire from his
position IS messenger at the mis-
sion about Q month ago owing to
his advanced age. Since then he
gradually failed in health until he
was called to his last rest after

Prominent Orator 10 Arrive

Edward Blake, one Of the best
orators in the House of Commons,
is expected to pass through here on
the Alameda. Mr.. Blake was born
in Adelaide, Ontario, in 1888, and
graduated at the University of
Toronto, of which institution he
was made chancellor in 1876. He
was a privy councillor under Mr..
Mckenzie in 1S73-1S74. In 1873
he became leader of the Liberal
Opposition in the Dominion House
of Commons.
In 1892 he resigned his seat and
went to Ireland, standing the next
year for the pocket borough of West
Longford. His reputation as an
orator is known throughout Canada
and Great Britain, while as a poll
tician he has not been a wonderful
success. His mission to New Zea-
land is "a arbiter in the case pend
ing between the Government and
the New Zealand Railway Com
pany.
1t is the intention of the Cana
dian colony in Honolulu to request
Mr.. Blake to give an address here
should the steamer remain over
night.

VACUUM OIL. An engineer
of one of the principal plan
tations says of 600 Cylinder Oil
''That one barrel is as good

barrels of other kinds"
Those who are agents for
other oils are forced to get
VACUUM OIL to send to their
own mills.
Hundreds of competitive
tests have been made with the
600 w Cylinder Oil against
other grades, and it has de-
monstrated it's value for eco
nomy and utility beyond all
question.
We also handle this oil in
three other grades known as

Wild Hall Convicted of Swind-

The name of Wild Hall is now
familiar TO great many readers
of the daily papers as the "Big
Sandy swindler." The case has be-
come famous on account OF the un-
Interrupted success with which the
business was carried on for such a
long time.
Hall was tried in the United
States Court at Louisville last week
upon Indictments for swindllng and
for using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. a large number Of wit
nesses were examined and Hall
was found guilty on all the counts.
The jury was out on the case only
five minutes.
G. NJ Cooper's case was next
called and he secured contInu-
anee. The cases against Wayne
Damron and Hall were then taken
up. Strong efforts were made get
their ease continued, but without
avail. ,.Ne

O'Clock Tuesday morning. Two
hours later the jury returned to the
Federal Court room and announced
to Judge Barr that no verdict could
be reached as the jury was hope
lessly hung. The jury was then
discharged. 1t Is reported that
seven Of the jurymen were for find
ing verdict of guilty, and that five
were for unconditional acquittal.

Why Not Grow Fruit.

The question is often asked why
our farmers do not give more at
tentlon TO fruit growing. II has
been shown by practical tests that
this is a fruitcountry, Peach trees
planted on the hills are almost a
sure crop. They do not "bud" as
early as trees situated in the low
lands ard rarely get nipped by the
the frost. There is no crop more
profitable than peaches. In order
10 attain the greatest success il is
necessary to plant some new trees
every year, but the cost Of this is
comparatively Insignificant.
Rich land is not necessary or de-
slrable for orchards, so the most
experienced fruit growers say. II
the land should prove too poor,
however, It isvery cheap and easy
to adjust the matter by the use OF
fertilizers around the trees.
The production OF tho small
fruits would also prove profitable
in this section. Get out OF the ruts
