MODERN JACK SHEPPARDS.
Pair on Street Car Whose Appearancs
Was Deceptive to the
Passengers.

II was on a north-bound Broadway
trolley car. The hour was noon. and
30 bored passengers were wearily
studying the signs bidding them eat
predigested soup, relates the New York
World.
Suddenly the monotony OF rumbling
wheels and demands of Fare, pleased"
was broken by a stout man who had
lust entered the car. Glancing about
he said In a gruff, commanding sort OF
voice:
Ladies and gentlemen. it's only far
to let you know there are two profes-
sional pickpockets aboard this car.
Look out for your valuables."
Everybody looked at everybody else
In a highly uncomplimentary and sus-
picious manner The first passenger
to break the amazed silence was a
pink-and-white old gentleman near the
door.
This is an outrage" he spluttered.
"Ill-I'n write to the papers about it.
II the police cannot protect citizens, it's
time we had a new police department.
Conductor, let me out Of this-this den
of thieves!"
Scarce had he stamped out of the car
when a timid-looking little lady with a
rustic air and a rusty black dress. hut.
tered to her feet.
Conductor" she said palpitatingly
please stop this car at once and lei
me get out. My son told me 'twan'i
safe for me to come to New YorR
alone, and now / see he was right. Let
me off right away!"
"You folks needn't worry any longer
about those two pickpockets. They've
: got off," said the sleuth.

With reproach in every flap Of the

London, Nov 25.-The annual
Thanksgiving banquet Of the Ameri-
can society at the Hotel Cecil last
night was marked by the presentation
to Ambassador Choate Of a portrait Of
himself painted by Hubert Herkomer
and paid for by subscriptions by men,
bers Of the society. An unusual note
for such a gathering was introduced
by Sir Edward Clarke. who, proposing
Mr.. Choate's health, sarcastically de-
rided the title American" ambassa-
dor, declaring that the word American
implied domination over the whole OF
the western hemisphere, which the
United States does not possess and is
not entitled to, as Great Britain is
territorially a larger power on the
American continent than the United
States. Sir Edward suggested that a
more suitable title would be Usona,
signifying United States Of North
America
Ambassador Choate. replying, said
that Americans were quite satisfied
with their name.
