THE ARMY OF PlCkPoCkETs.
An Observant Policeman Describes
Their Ranks and Methods.

Some men operate on the single

the profits. There are a few well-known
successful pickpockets of this order
and they are rated high among their fell
lows, but the more general Gus ON Is for
what is called mob" of men to travel
together, one known as the tool doing
the actual picking and the others at
tending to the "stalling."
A stall is the confederate of the pick
pocket who bumps up against people or
arranges them in such way that the
pickpoCket can get at their pockets.
Practically any one who viii take a
short course of instruction can learn
how to stall. but there are naturally
some who are more expert than others.

OF tirst-class tools, men who are
known to be successful. there are prob

States. Practically every professional
offender has go" at pocketpicking

comparatively few who make a success
of it as actual pickpoCkets; the stalls
are numberless. Among the 1000 there
are some women and a fair proportion
of young boys. but the majority are

The free schools do not turn out more
desirable citizens than they did when
the curriculum was simplicity itself.
The general tone of society has not
been elevated by stuffing children with
moral philosophy and international
law, geology, the higher mathematics,
chemistry, astronomy and all the rest
of 1t. So far as we can see, In fact, the
most conspicuous result of the ar
rangement has been and is to food the
country annually with thousands Of
young people of both sexes who know
nothing which they can turn to prac-
teal account and who have learned
just enough to make them disconnected
with their station in life. The real
question is whether the state should in
struct the children of the individuals
beyond the point at which they are en-
abled to read and study for themselves
whether 1t should confer an elegant
and liberal education upon millions of
young people who have no sort of use
for 1t. We think not. We state, with
out fear of successful contradiction,
that every man or woman In the world
to-day who knows anything out OF
which fortune or repute can be made
learned ninety nine-hundredths of 1t
after leaving school.

LADY SALISBURY.
Her Death Removes an Influential Fac
tor in British Politics.

The death of Lady Salisbury. wife OF
the British premier, has removed a
woman of high social prominence and
one who exercised a great influence on
the political life of England. Lord Sails.
bury placed unlimited confidence in his
wife's sagacity and judgment and in
consequence she was power in the
councils of the Conservative party. and
when that party was in Office, in the
councils of the nation.
Lady Salisbury was the daughter of
Sir George Hall Anderson and was mar
ried to Lord Salisbury-then Lord Rob
ert Cecil-in 1857. Her husband was
then ~ years old while she was some
years his senior.
Four years before. her husband had
been elected a Fellow of All Souls Col
lege. oxford. and had been returned to
Parliament for Stamford. The early
years of their married life were passed
In comparative obscurity. They had
little money, and lived in lodgings off
the Strand The future prime minister
added to his slender income by writing
for magazines and newspapers, his wife
acting as amanuensis. In 1865 Lord
Robert Cecil became Viscount Gran
borne. and heir to the Marquisate
through the death of his eldest brother.
1t was then that his political career
really began. AS her husband advanced
IN rank and station Lady Salisbury
filled every place with grace and tact.
With advancing years she grew 10 care

HERES A sRAND.NEw STATE
Republic of the Acre, the Latest Gov.
ermeut in South America.

Republic of the Acre, the Latest Gov.
erment in South America.
Probably there are not many people
who have heard of the republic of the
Acre. 1t is a brand-new state which
has arisen in South America In the last
few weeks. 1t owes its origin to the
fact that large part of the interior OF
South America is a norman s-land, soma
parts claimed by two and even three OF
the republics, which have no clearly
defined limits.
A certain Rodriguez Aries happ med
along and determined to take advantage
of this state of affairs. He was an ad.
venturer who had seen much of thu
world, having been successfully bank
employe in Spain. theatrical manager
in the United States II clerk of works
i'll Paris. and broker in the Argentine
Republic. While in Ruenos Ayres he
made the acquaintance of the gentle
men who are now his Ministers of
state.
Rodriguez Aries proclaimed a vast
territory bordering on Brazil and
Bolivia as the Republic of the Acre, so
called from the river of that name, a
tributary of the Amazon, which flows
through it. The territory has an extent
OF some 100000 square miles and an
estimated population of $4,000. 1t was
claimed by both Brazil and Bolivia, but
that did not matter to Rodriguez Aries
Hp pgtq hIiShpH his initial
village called Antimdiri, appointed his
Ministers, and was ready for business
He calculates on raising revenue from
royalty OIL the rubber gathered In bis
territory which depends principally
on that staple for Its commerce.
Rodriguez Aries is an intelligent,
wldeawake man, apparently about so
years of age. His face Is of decided
Spanish cast with kindly looking eyes
which beam on you through a pair OF
gold-rimmed spectacles. From his ap-
pearance one might take him for pro-
fessional mana lawyer or a doctor.
Whether the new Republic of Acre
Will take permanent place among the
family of nations remains to be seen.
1t may be noted that there are prosper
Gus states In existence today which
have arizen in the same manner as the
Republic of Acre, among these may be
mentioned the Transvaal and the Or
ange Free State in South Africa, which
were also established by adventures
in a norman STAND, and are now OF
sufficient Importance to make no small
noise in the world.
The region OF the Acre Is one of the
hottest and most b athful in South
America. 1t is also one OF the richest
In rubber. which grows wild in the
woods in great abunda nee, and those
engaged In the rubber trade can gen
orally calculate on aking their for
tunes in fOur0r five years if they escape
the malarlal fevers and other diseases
which dog the steps of the white man
in these ATTITUDES.
The territory of the Acre. or a portion
Of it, was granted not long ago to an
American syndicate by the government
OF Bolivia, which had very doubtful
title to 1t. The syndicate was to build
a railway and make other improve
ments, but the project never came to
anything, owing partly to the disputed
ownership of the land. which led to
litigation. and finally resulted In the
proclamation of independence already
referred to-
