PICKPOCKETS' GAINS.
Fairly RemunerRtive Calling
In the Aggregate.

The amount Of money which pick
pockets take in annually is probably
greater than that OF any other special
ISIS in crime. IL would be idle TO say
how large il is, but il is a well-known
fact that thousands Of dollars are stolen
by them AT big public gatherings to
which they have access. II was report
ed, for instance, that at he recent con
federate soldiers reunion ir the south
$3.50. 900 was stolen by ~pickpockets, and
almost every day in the year one reads
in the newspapers Of a big touch"

il is n conservative statement to say
that in a lifetime the expert pickpockct
steals 100000. Multiply this figure by
1900. which ! have given as the number
Of first-class grafters in the country,
and the result reaches high mp into
the millions. Like other professional
thieves, the pickpocket throws away
his money like water and very seldom
