Fat Men Easy to Rob.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Fat men of easy Temperament are the fav-
orite prey of the professional pickpockets,
according to no less an authority than
Molly Matches, who in his day served
time in many prisons in the process of
learning to let thin, nervous individuals
alone when plying his lawless trade. Like
all good dips" this particular pickpocket
was a respectable looking fellow, who
would pass unnoticed in a crowd. He had
lots OF experience and knew his business
thoroughly. His reasons. as given by HIM
SELF were these:
Experience has taught me that nervous
ness and fdgetiveness are usual character
istics OF thin people whens in a crowd
Therefore. they are more apt to turn
around suddenly, and take quicker notice
of any push or jostling they may receive.
I have invariably found that such people
are constantly on the alert, SO that they
are not SO easily got at as more corpulent
and consequently easier going people. It
Is a deuced sight more difficult to take any
thing from them without detection than it
Is from the individuals Of more extended
corporosity who fall into passive attitudes
and reveries that render them quite uncon-
scious Of the sly. stealthy hand OF the pick
pocket" This theory Is known to all ex-
pert police, and they govern themselves in
accordance with the rule to always watch
the tat ones when looking for dip"

BILL ANTHoNY's GRAVE.
Maine Hero Rests in Path Used by
British at Battle of Long Island.

BLUSH at baLClc OF Long 4S1duO.
From the New York Times.
Visitors during the past week to the
cemetery of the Evergreens, in Brooklyn,
who are students Of American history and
who have given particular study to the in
cidents and details Of the battle Of Long
Island, in the days Of the revolution. have
made the interesting discovery that the
last resting place Of Brave Bill Anthony
Is in historic ground This hero Of the
tragedy in Havana harbor, which FASTENED
the conflict between the United States and
Spain lies in the very path followed by
the British under Lord Howe when they
stole around to the rear Of the American
forces in the battle Of Long Island. and,
surprising the patriots effected their de-
feat.
The grave Of Anthony is on gentle slope
dipping down into a valley near that part
of the cemetery called Beacon Hill. In the
days of the revolution this vale was known
as jamaica Pass From the Jamaica road,
as 1t was then known. at a point which is
now Jamaica avenue and Fulton street,
East New York, this pass, today given over
to resting places of the dead, wound through
the hills to the northwestward. twisting
and turning until 1t became a lane, which
was known as Rockaway Path. and which
led into the Jamaica road, some distance
to the westward.
When Lord Howe, with his redcoats and
Hessians, crossed from the British camp on
Staten Island to Long Island, and pre-
pared to move from the shore Of New
York bay upon the Americans intrenched
in Brooklyn, he found that there were four
routes by which the important positions
established by the patriots could be ap-
preached in force. These We're the Coast
road. Flatbush pass, Bedford pass and. in
the rear Of the Americans. Jamaica pass
Leaving half of his force to engage the
Americans on the south, Howe, with Sir
Henry Clinton commanding his advance
guard made a wide detour through Flat
lands and what is now East New York
| with the idea Of taking the Americans in
| the rear. The British commander found
| that all of the passes mentioned, with the
exception of Jamaica pass, were strongly
guarded against attack. The patriots. ap-
parently expecting no move from that quar-
ter, had neglected to properly guard and
patrol Jamaica pass, to which Howe
marched stealthily in the night. When
way tavern, which stood near the entrance
to the pass at what Is now the junction OF
Jamaica avenue, Broadway and Fulton
street. East New York, he compelled the
young son of Major Howard, the innkeeper,
to guide him and his men through the pass
and along the Rockaway Path. The British
came out again upon the Jamaica road,
near what is now the Bedford district Of
Brooklyn, taking the Americans by sur
prise in the morning and compelling them
to retreat from New York.
In this historic ground, where on that
night in the days that were making for
the creation Of the great republic, the long,
through the hills to deal heavy blow to
the patriot cause, sleeps Brave Bill'
Anthony, hero Of another conspicuous day
in American history.

That the action of the Savannah
marksmen in deciding to enter the

means certain that all of these gem
