View of Washington Is Taken From
Congress Heights.
The view OF Washington on the new
Treasury note is taken from Wilson Park,
Congress Heights, which is said to be the
finest view that can be had of Washing ton.
Congress Heights gets everything in the
gift of the governmental wants. The streets
are now being lighted at the government
expense. The District is looking after its
streets and building the handsonest school
in the District of Columbia at cost Of
$21 900.

vention crowds is the watch which must
be kept OIL the women. The female thief
is equally as skillful as the man and far
less liable to detection. Her especial field
is the ladies' waiting rooms OF railway sta
tions and similar places, where men are
not allowed. Her work Is usually far
easieE than that OF the male pickpocket,
for the reason that the majority of women
carry their money in hand satchels or
small bags suspended from belt which
thief can easily open without detection

Many women thieves carry small shawl
over their arm, and when working at a
pocket or satchel use 1T as screen to
protect their hands.

is the street car, thief, and the man who
makes speciality of taking other persons

is called by the profession. A gang of
street car thieves visited Washington last

and their days work netted them be-

unspea kably painful in the description oil
the brutishness and the cailousness of the
masses Of besotted muiiks, who, Tor the

THE INAuGURATIoNH HARVEST.
At the last inauguration over a hundred
thieves of all classes were gathered in by
the police. A majority of them were cap
tured at the stations. These were the Ole
professionals whose faces the police knew.
They were held on that elastic charge

had departed and slsen II they were not
wanted in other cities, were escorted to the
station and told to take the first train.
The younger memAers of the profession
squeezed through the lines and were only
caught when found working the crowds.
Pickpockets always work in pairs and
to the experienced eye they are easily
discernible in a crowd. One man is the
jostler, the other the real thief. They push
