PICKPOCKETS ON The CARS
Two Visitors to the City Lose
Money and Cheeks.
Mr.. Won Hasseln, of South Carolina,
and Mr.. Cox, of Cincinnati Robbed
En- Route to Chevy Chase.

Professional pickpockets made two rich
hauls by plying their trade yesterday aft
ernoon on the Chevy Chase electric cars,
between here and that resort.
John H. Won IIasseln, one Of the victims,
suffered the loss Of draft ON an express
company for 50, besides a railroad
ticket and SUM OF money. Mr.. Won
HasSeln is a visitor from Anderson, S. c.,
and Will On his way to New York stopped
over Sunday in Washington He regis
tered as the Howard House. and, having
nothing to engage his attention yesterday
afternoon, boarded a Fourteen Ca-street
cable car TO so for ride. Upon reach
ing street he received transfer and
decided to go on to Chevy Chase. The
cars Were crowded with passengers, and
Mr.. Yor Hasseln did not observe the ad-
yances of two young men who sat near
him.
In his inside coat pocket he carried ared
morocco purse containing the articles
mentioned The pocketbook rested easily
in his pocket. but made quite d good sized
bulge. so that its outlines could be seen
from the outside.
A few moments after he had left the
car Mr. Won Hasseln discovered his loss.
He Mastered to police headquarters and re-
ported the matter to Detective Weldon and
at once telegraphed to New York to hold
the express package. He could give no
description OF the pickpockets, and no
clew could be found u their identity.
The other victim of the thieves was Mr..
". L. Cox, of Cincinnati, who suffered
the loss of about $40 in money, draft on
the Third National Bank, of New York, for
$3.50. and number Of valuable papers.
Mr.. Cox har been stopping at the st.
James since Friday, and is transacting
some business in Washington. Yesterday
afternoon, accompanied by his wife and
child, he rode out to Chevy Chase on the
electric cars, On the return trip Mr..
Cox got mixed up on the car in crowd
and standing near him were two young
men, whom Mr.. Cox noticed afterw ards
were foremost in iostling and pushing in
the throng. They left the electric car
at Fourteenth and U streets, and did not
transfer to the cable line.
After Mr.. Cox had boarded down -towr
train he became aware of his loss, and
upon reaching the ST. James Immediately
telephoned to police headquarters for al
officer, and Detective Weedon went to the
hotel and learned the particulars of tbs
robbery.
Shortly before leaving Cincinnati Mr.
Cox met with a somewhat greater LOST
than that which he sustained yester day
While stopping at o hotel in that city 9
sneak thief entered his room and sue
ceeded il getting away with money ant
jewelry belonging to Mrs. Cox to the ex
tent of over $500.
The police believe that the pickpocketl
have been hanging about the down towr
hotels and spotted Mr.. Won Hasseln and
Mr.. Cox and follow ed them.

BROUGHT BACK.FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at Deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

COMMA BACILLUS.

In consumption beware OF cough mix
lures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus good
chance to destroy the lungs. 1t IS
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain trace of any opiate, but stimu-
lates the nerves with new life and power,
DESTROYS the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which no other
remedy has ever been known to accom-
plish.
