PICKPOCKETs' RICH HARVEST.
BritOns Suffered at the Coronation
of George Nv.
From the London Chronicle.

! From the London Chronicle.
Although the coronation of George "
is justly described as the most magnifi-
cent of modern times, some of it's fea-
lures did not add to the dignity OF
the ceremony. An officer who was on
guard on the raised and covered plat
form on which the procession passed
to the Abbey has left this curious pic
ture of the crowd:
Little Townsend, the chief police
officer of Bow street, with his faxen
wig and broad-brimmed hat was to be
seen hurrying from one end of the plat
form to the other, assuming immense
! Importance. On the approach of the
cortege you heard this officious person,
| dressed with a little brief authority,
| hallooing with all his might: Gentle
men and ladies, take care of your
pockets, for you are surrounded by
| thieves; and hearty laughter respond
ed to Mr.. Townsend's salutary advice"
| The pickpockets were really there,
and their booty was great. Nor did
the robbed prosper when they COM
planned. One old gentleman from Wales
shouted in an unmistable accent: Mr.
Townsend, Mr.. Townsend, 1 have been
robbed of my gold watch and purse
containing all my money. What am
to do? What am 1 to do to get home /?
l have come 200 miles to see this sight,
and instead of receiving satisfaction or
hospitality I am robbed by those cut
throats.' Whereupon the crowd, who
had listened to this eloquent complaint,
burst into a thousand-voiced ironic
rendering of Home, Sweet Home
Stung by jibes and by actual i'll
treatment. the poor Welshman passed
out of the crowd and out of history.
There were no police in those days, and
how coronations were conducted with
out them may be dimly seen in this
incident.
The gathering of large numbers of
colonial, foreign and provincial visitors
in London for the coronation of King
Edward has acted as a magnet to the
criminal population of other countries
and hundreds of American Crooks
and continental and colonial criminals
are daily arriving in the metropolis.
SO great has the invasion been that
Scotland Yard has set apart a special
staff especially for the benefit of these
undesirable visitors, while elaborate de-
tails regarding each well known indi-
Vidual as his departure for these hos
pltable shores becomes known are be-
ing sent across by the foreign and CO.
lonial police.
Scotland Yards special staff is com
posed of men who can dress in almost
any garb-walking, cycling and riding,
The Savannah morning news., 1902-07-06

morning and evening costumes-and,
what is more, look the parts they are
playing and leave not the slightest
indication of their calling.
AS in the course of their work the
detectives have to lounge in the bars
of well-known West End hostelries,
hover among the sightseeing crowds
on the procession routes, loiter at such
busy points as Piccadilly Circus and
Trafalgar Square, wander along the
| Strand, Haymarket and Pail Mall, keer
observation in the neighborhood OF
Westminster Abbey, houses of Parlia-
ment, ST. PauPs Cathedral, the princi-
pal railway termini and live in the
most aristocratic hotels in the West
End, a frequent change of apparel
is absolutely necessary.
The haunts and recognized meeting
places of these alien importations are
known and a constant watch is kept
on their doings in the metropolis.
Where members of an invading organ
ization show by their too frequent
visits an excessive liking for a partic-
ular public house an official warning
to the landlord results in his sum-
marily refusing to allow the marked
down men to refresh themselves in his
place.
AS a result they have to seek quar-
actively keep them on the move and
drive them from place to place-the
criminals, on the one hand, trying to
discover a spot unknown to the police
and the latter ever endeavoring to cir
cumvent them from forwarding their
schemes.
AS during the early stages of the
war certain swindlers, blackmailers and
thieves adopted khaki in order to
clothe themselves with an ostensible
hallmark of honesty, it is reported by
a well-known detective that the colon
ial clement have attired themselves i'm
itatively to the uniforms of the
colonial contingent niw in this coun-
try for the coronation pageant. Their
object is to inspire confidence in their
victims-found among their own coun-
trymen-which would certainly be less
powerful If they were CARRIED in an
ordinary fashion.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-07-06
There is very little that a LLOYD,

There is very little that a Lloyd's
underwater will not bet upon. If, for
instance, you are uncertain about the
permanence of your gold tooth, upon
which you have expended capital and
the dentist some skill, communicate
with Lloyd's, London. Somebody there
will insure it for you. The thing has
been done before.
In the South African war; when the
life companies were chary of battle
field risks, there was always Lloyd's to
run to, and the underwriters there did
heavy business in such risks. 1t
came out at the same time that gate
money for cricket and football matches
had been insured.
The underwriters were willing, in the
case of popular games, to do this for
comparatively small premiums, though
their ability to calculate chances in
this kind of speculation might seem to
be uncertain when the British climate
is taken into consideration.
That doesn't cut so much ice with the
Lloyd's underwater If he loses on one
kind of bookmaking, he equalizes the
loss on another.
Many of them will insure against
twins. One well-known underwater
has made public announcement that he
is always ready to lay a thousand to
one against any such blessing falling
upon a happy father.
Once he insured against twins, and
triplets arrived. But he considered
that covered by the policy and paid
cheerfully, content with the advertis-
ing the publicity given to the fact con-
ferred upon him gratis and not even
insisting on deducting from the bene-
fit the amount of the Queens bounty,
95, which is always bestowed in such
a contingency.
OF course, marine risks compose the
greater part of the business under
taken at Lloyds, but that has it's out
of-the-way features. The presence of
bullion on a ship increases the in
surance rates in proportion to the
amount involved.
When the steamship st. Paul ran on
the New Jersey beach off Long Beach
in a fog six years ago, in her strong
room was a million and a quarter in
gold bars consigned to firm of bank
the underwriters that this gold should
be taken off the ship at the earliest
possible moment for if she should
break UP their loss would have been
enormous.
A special steamer was chartered to
get the gold and a special guard was
provided for it. A sagging chute was
rugged from the st. Paul to the other
steamer and down this the gold was
sent II men, armed with revolvers
keeping watch over the operation.
They kept guard till the gold was
landed and transferred by truck to a
vault in Wall street, and the under
writer's fears were set at rest.

The BIackbirds and the Kitten.


The blackbirds have no confidence in
the kitten; they regard neither her
youth nor the season of the year. "A
cat" they say. lis a cat, whether
young or old, whether we have our
batlings to keep out of her clutches
or whether we have only our own
skins to protect" Therefore they
curse her at sight. Up hill and down
dale they curse her, pursuing her with
maledictions wherever she goes. You
may know at any moment exactly
where she is, because blackbird pere
and mere follow her up: and this
spoils her stalking game, for natural
ly her surprises do not come off while
two spiteful. sharp tongued persons
are forever sitting or fitting over her
head scolding, Gliding cursing, pill
lorying the poor thing until she must
be sick to death of their voices.
What a nuisance they must be! They
will not even allow her to sleep peace
fully in some sunny spot she has found
and occupied, but plant themselves
close by to keep her awake with their
maledictions. No wonder she rises
presently, glares in their direction
for a moment with a cold eye, opens
her mouth as though to say some
thing, shakes herself and goes home
in disgust.

THE PANAMA HAT.
Truths About It's Origin and Manu-
facture.
From Mems Wear.

From Mems Wear.
With Panama hats in such unprece-
denied demand as they are this season,
it is not surprising that much has been
written concerning them.
The plant from which is obtained the
material of which the hats are made
is commonly called the Panama hat
it under the head of palms. classifying
it under the name cyclanthacecoe. The
botanical name of the particular spe-
cies with which we are concerned is
Carludovica palmata. The South Amer
lean natives call it Palma de Pima. 1t
is Indigenous to parts of Ecuador, Co
lombia, Peru, Brazil and Central Amer
lea.
Right here it may be we'll to define
certain terms that have been used by
writer's in connection with this sub
ject, and which have appeared in ad-
Vertisements in the daily papers, with
out their meaning being clear.
The word Jipijapa is really the name
Of an interior town in Ecuador and
the natives in that part of the country
commonly speak of the Panama hat as
the Jipijapa hat. Another word that
has been frequently used in Manabi
This is the name of a province in
Ecuador, and Manabi hat is also syn
onYmous with Panama hat. In Manabi
province is the city of Monte Cristi,
where some exceedingly fine hats come
from.
ToquilIa Straw.
The expression paja toquilla has
been enormously used by some writ
ers as being the name of the plant,
but it is the name of the straw OBJ
tanned from the plant, as any one who
knows Spanish might readily have I'M
derstood since the word paja means
straw.
Many of our readers will be sur
prised to know that this straw is
made from the fiat leaf, and not from
the stalk of the plant, for casual
glance at the exterior surface of a
Panama hat would give the impress
sion that the hat was woven from a
fiber of cylindrical form. However,
close scrutiny of the inner surface
of the hat will disclose the fact that
the fiber is not a cylinder.
The method of preparing the straw
is as follows: Young plants, not over
four or five feet in hight, are used for
this purpose. Only the leaves that
are young, stiff and in prime condi-
ton can be used. These are split into
narrow strips by the native, who for
this purpose uses his finger nails. But
the strips are not separated at the
stalk end Up to this point you still
have the fiat straw, but what we shall
The Savannah morning news., 1902-07-06

call the rounding, for want of a bet
ter name, is accomplished by the deft-
fingered native. aided by the natural
tendency of the strip to curl. The
strip is rolled from each of it's two
edges toward its middle, and thus is
formed, ready for plating into a hat
body, that excellent straw with no
raw edges, and which is deceptively
like a cylinder.
The Candle Light story.
The French Panamas are made of
this same material, which is exported
to Macy, Saar Union and other places
in Europe where the French Panama
hats are made.
The statements that Panama hats
are made under water and that the
very fine ones are woven only by can
die light are characterized as incor-
rect by a man who has all his life
been engaged as a first hand in the
Panama hat trade, and who has not
only seen the hats made, but has made
Panama hats himself.
1t is true that the hats are woven in
the early morning hours, when the at
mosphere is damp, as the heat of the
sun makes the fiber brittle and unfit
for manipulation. At night the hat is
hung out in the open air. where it alb
serbs the dew. and is the next day
again in condition to be worked. This
accounts for the great length of time
required in the hat making, one of the
very fine grades requiring upward of
three and a half months to produce.
The hat is woven on a block which is
held between the knees of the operator,
although some of the very coarse hats
are woven on the knee of the native
too poor to own a hat block. Men,
women and children among the native
Indians are engaged in the weaving of
the hats. To the children is intrusted
only the making of the coarser grades,
and the youngsters become more skill
full from year to year, and in time some
OF them become experts, capable of
making the exceedingly fine hats.
Those who have long been engaged in
the handling of the Panama hats know
from a glance at the button from what
locality the hat comes. The button
is the little central portion of the crown
of the hat, at which point the weaving
begins and extends outward toward
the edge.
While a great deal has been written
about 800 and $3.50 hats, it must be
remembered that these are few in
number. When one takes into consid-
Grafton that a broken straw or a straw
not matching in color the rest of the
hat. or a knot showing, makes the hat
defective, it will be realized that there
cannot be many of these extremely fine
hats produced. The finishing of the
hat is an operation requiring much
skill, because each of the overlapping
fibers has to be nicely turned back
into the edge of the crown and trimmed
off.
Of course, most people in the trade
are by this time aware that the Pana-
ma hats are not made in Panama at
all. The great majority of the hats
made in Peru and Ecuador find their
way to Guayaquil, whence they are
shipped to Panama. and. after cross
ing the isthmus, are shipped from Co.
lon. This is not true of the hats made
in Colombia, many of which are ship
ped from Cartagena or Savanilla.
