SHOPLIFTERS' HARVEST
Expert Store Pilferers are Now as
Scarce as Bank Burglars--.Ways
to Prevent Theft.

While our big stores at this season Of
the year are thronged by a hurrying,
pushing, but happy lot of Christmas
shoppers, the harvest time for the nim-
ble-fngered shoplifter has arrived.
The almost careless display of glitter
ing anu costly wares, the jostling crowd,
and the excitement of the occasion aid
the pilferer from shop counters. The
proprietors of the hives of trade know
by past experience the wiles of the class
of store thieves, and haye thrown about
their wares all the safeguards that are
possible to protect them.
A few private detectives mingle with
the crowds that gather from early morn
ing until late at night in the asles of the
stores, and already few women have
been caught in the act of yielding to
temptation or committing deliberate
theft. But few of these have been
brought before Magistrates, for the pro-
prletors of the stores in which they were
technically arrested temper justice with
mercy.
The expert shoplifter, very much like
the expert bank robber, is becoming a
thing of the past, for the proprietors of
the stores have taken, like the banks,
precautions to save their property from
the deft fingers of thieves. But bank
can secure it's funds in burglar-proof
vaults, guarded by time locks and other
modern devices that battle even the skill
of cracksman.
The merchant must display his wares,
and, to great extent, depend upon the
honesty of his patrons. TO guard against
dishonesty on the part of patrons and
the pilferings of the professional shop
litter, the merchant can only rely upon
the watchfulness Of his employees and the
keenness OF detectives.
These precautions have driven the pro-
fessional shoplifter to other lines of
thieving, and rarely is it that one of that
ilk who is known to the police is gath
cred in.
The last of this ilk arrested in this city
was during December of last year, when
Mary Gonazelli, an expert Italian shop
litter, was caught in one of the large
stores here.
Two weeks prior to this five profess
sionals from Philadelphia came here and
succeeded in pilfering right and left from
nearly every prominent merchant in the
city and then escaped to the Quaker
City.
Among this gang was supposed to be
"Queen Liz Reilly. who was subse-
quently captured in that city, and is
now dong time for robberies perpetrated
there.
Since then the city has been practi-
cally free from shoplifters, but Chief of
Police Dolaa and his efficient force ex-
pect a visit from some of them during
the present shopping season and are
keeping sharp watch for all feminine
characters who act in any way in sus-
piciouS manner.

Youthful Pair Welded.

BRIDGEvILLE, DEL, Dec. lO.-Alex.
Jewell, son of Mrs. Mary Jewell, was re-
Gently married to Emma Smith, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ezekiel Smith. The
groom is l6 years OF age and the bride
three years younger.
The children have been lovers for
many years, and nearly iuseparable.
They have lived on adjoining farms, and
each dav would go to and return from
school in each others company. The
school teacher, knowing Of their devo-
ton, allowed them to sit together.
During the past two years the chill
dren wanted to be married, but the par
ents would not give their consent, owing
to their extreme youth. But they were
determined, and few days ago the par.
ents consented. Both are small for their
age, and when they stood before the
officiating clergyman, the bride in short
skirts, their appearance excited COM
ments from the spectators.

and the United States. The French Am
bassador recently applied to the Chinese
Foreign Office for reversion of the deci
sion Of the Viceroy of Nankin, refusing
to grant an extension of the French
settlement at Shanghai by conceding Pc
Tung, q suburb.
The Foreign Office, however, instead
OF reversing the Viceroy's decision, con.
frmed it.
Conger, the American Minister, coop.
Grated with the British and Japanese
Ambassadors in urging that the conces-
sion be not granted, Po Tung being
chiefly occupied by American and Brit
ish wharves and warehouses.
The French are making this an oppor-
tunity to seize the arsenal and pagoda,
which has a good anchorage near Foo
chow, which they have long hankered
after.
The presence of French war ships at
Nankin is meant to coerce the Viceroy,
who remains firm in refusing the coveted
concessions. British and Japanese war
ships have also gone to Nankin to assist
in stiffening the viceroy's resistance.
M
And yet, after all, are we not reckon
ing little ahead of the game. 1t is a
fact that the Peace Treaty at Paris has
been practically adopted by the Ameri-
can and Spanish Commissioners, but it
has yet to run the gauntlet of the United
States Senate.
There is already decided opposition
manifested to its ratification and some
talk Of amending it (which may be legal
ly done) by striking out the 500, 100000
appropriation. Again the House Of Rep
resentatives may refuse to vote the nee.
essary appropriation to make the finan-
cial feature Of the message effective.
Some of the members claim that the
President has exceeded his authority in
offering to pay $40, 600, 900 to Spain, and
some warm discussion is promised in
both Houses before the subject is finally
disposed Of.
Nv
One of the early and direct results OF
the imperialistic policy of the Admins
tration in pulling us to the front in Euro
pean and Asiatic affairs is the necessity
which the President finds for stronger
army and navy as indicated in his re-
cent message to Congress. Besides ex.
pending about $32, 900, 900 on new war
ships and nearly as much more for
armor and guns the Presidant wants
100000 men in the army to garrison our
Colonies the estimated cost of maintain
ing which is about 100000 a year.

suffrage For women In ireland.

Another great gain has been mado
for woman suffrage in the passage Of
the Irish local self government bill by
the parliament of Great Britain. MI.
nioipal woman suffrage conferred on
English women in 1869, proved 20 satis-
factory that it was extended to the
women Of Scotland in 1881. Now, after
the experience of generation (29 years.,
it is extended to the women Of Ireland
also. Under the new bill single women
and widows in Ireland will vote for all
officers except members of parliament
OH substantially the same terms as men.
Before this municipal suffrage for WON.
en- in Ireland was limited to Belfast,
where they obtained it some years ago
through the efforts of Miss Isabella
Todd and other Irish women On the oc-
casion of the granting of new city
charter.
We congratulate the friends of equal
suffrage on this emphatic evidence Of
the value Of municipal woman suffrage.
Now, will our friends of the Boston
Pilot tell us why women in Dublin and
Cork should exercise a right denied to
Irish women in Boston? Let us hope
that the spectacle of self respecting,
public spirited women voting in Ireland
may create change of feeling among
their countrymen and oountrywomen

his education and cannot be passed over
with scant attention as they are usual.
ly by the average college boy. The pro.
fessor of these branches in law school
consequently must have a high stand
ing and unusual ability before being
able to secure the appointment.
Her success, however, was not SUR
prise to her intimates, for as child she
was generally regarded as q prodigy.
She was born at Francisville, aud at the
tender age Of years she could read
fluently. She early showed a decided
talent for dramatic art, and at 10 years,
as an impersonator, she was the wonder
and admiration of her friends. When
only 10, she was a graduate in elocution
from the Northern Indiana Normal col
lege at Valparaiso. At IA she completed
the scientific course of the same college,
taking the degree of b. S. She has since
studied oratory ana dramatic art.
When only II, she had completed her
studies and accepted the chair of elocu-
tion and rhetoric at the normal college,
where her rare qualities aud exceptional
ability attracted the attention of the
management of the law school and Sc
