 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Holiday time is the harvest of the ''hister' and the "moll- buzzer."
 Whatp Don't you know what they aref That's because you have never been a thief, n detective or police reporter. If you had been any of these, you would know that "hister' is thieves talk for shoplifter, and ''mollbuzzer" for Q man who picks women's pockets. And it is at holiday time that shoplifters and pick pockets make most money, for it is then that women 6 high and low and middle degree gather in the great stores for holi- day shopping and throng the sidewalks. Any skillful, nervy mister" or "moll- buzzer' can mako enough money in fort night, during which the floors and side walks are crowded with women, to pay living expenses for whole year, and there are some few members of both thsse pro- fessions who ply their calling only the last two or three weeks of December in each year. At least I have been credibly in- formed so by a man who has spent most of his forty odd years of life picking pock- cts and doing time for the same, and by a shoplifter who, when she talked to me, was waiting for the prison van to take her away. Both these interesting individuals were exceedingly expert at their calling, though neither of them seems to have sue ceeded in long remaining out of the clutches of tho hands that protrude from the blue sleeves of policemen's coats.

 This Matter,

Tnlo MRtter,
 People are always seeking clues. and the one which leads straight to the object sought is the strongest and surest. The world is filled with complaints and weak nssses. which. when neglected, lead to the most dangerous diseases. These weak nesses are constantly found among those who think themselves fairly we'll. Such people are careless, and this is just the reason so many persons break down and become mental and phySiosl wrscks. with shattered nerves and broken health. Your curiosity will arouse by reading the follow ing letter from Mir Joseph B. Pierce. of Northhsld. Mass. It is the clue to health.
 'I have been subject to the fever and ague, which had become chronic. I had the dumb ague without the shaking I suffered great pain during the spells. l tried many things for e cure. but without good results.

DEMOCRATIC skies are brighter just now than they have been for year. The much talked about and much hoped for getting together of democrats seems at last to be in a fair way towards be- spmipg an accomplished ract. The sx ample of Senator Hill in going to the white house and resuminG pleasant rela- tons with President Cleveland is being follows ed by lesser leaders of the party in congress. The first result of this getting together of democrats will be the pass3l c by the house of the Carlisle currency re- form bill, which will not be delayed much. if any. beyond the present week. It was noticeable that better and more concllia tory spirit was shown by all the speakers at the democratic caucus held yesterday than has been exhibited at any similar gatht ring for a long time. and conse- quently democrats are looking forward to future party success with more confidence thsu the most sauguine of them have felt since the opening of the present session of congress

Those Rubber tired Conveyances

The substitution of rubber for iron
tires on phaetons and carriages is a
new departure being introduced by
the Rock Island Buggy company,
which is fast meeting the approval
of public ever on the lookout for
comfort and luxury. An invitation
from Messrs. Rose and White to take
a ride in the new carriage of A. NJ.
Blakesley. with the improved attach
ment, was gladly accepted by an
ARGUS representative yesterday after
noon, and the pleasure was enhanced
by the experience. The contrast,
both in comfort and easy running,
between a conveyance with and with
out the rubber tires is not imagined
until tried. The rubber-tired
glides along as smoothly and nois-
lessly as an automatic bicycle, while
the other is not without its racket
and jolting, anything but pleasant
to the rider. The buggy company.
which has experienced a gradual and
prosperous growth, ranks with insti-
tutions of universal reputation in
the manufacture Of superior goods.
and in keeping abreast with the
times, has introduced this new de-
parture in rubber-tiring all classes
of vehicles.
