PICKP0CKETS UP TO DATE

Cincinnati, Owen the pickpockets

they stage their performances as care

ing the competition of the new pick
pocket most distressing.
oh" a quietly dressed, pleasantly
plump, motherly looking woman will
cry out, I've been robbed Some one

The little colloquy has arrested the
attention of the prospective victim. To
him the man of the team will turn.

was so neatly performed that | have

part that | played in it. A stranger
got into conversation with me, lurch-

felt for my pocket my money was
gone"
AS he touches the victim lightly he
'nips the leather" and moment

thief, but the manner in which the lit

something approaching genius.

they are serving their terms of life

spectivsly. is the prison de luxe of the
United States. If not of the world. BY
some it is called the Criminals para

resort or country residence than a
prison.
In this prison de luxe the inmates
are confined in the cells but eleven
hours day. The rest of the time
they are either making jute bags In
the factory that is part of the prison
or playing baseball. swimming, read
ing under shade trees, while at the
same time enjoying smoke, or else
roaming about the island and enjoy
ing the view of passing steamships.
In the evenings they are allowed to
nave candle with which to read In
their cells, and If they desire can cook
rarebit for themselves.
Hard work is unknown. The pris-
oners, numbering 1900, including. the
McNamaras, are obliged to mas SEA
many jute bags between the hours OF
in the morning and S o'clock in the
evening. II they make the required
number in less time they are allowed
to spend the time they save in enjoy
ing themselves on the prison grounds
Dozens of those imprisoned there, In

ers there, but pays the state of Cali

prison is situated at San Quentin,
which projects out into San Francisco
bay. 1t is reached by boat in an
hours ride from San Francisco.
Comedians and tragedians among
the prisoners weekly give a theatrical
performance; the prison band, consist
ing of sixty pieces and composed of
the inmates, gives concerts; the base
ball teams play for the championship
of the prison league; the handball ex-
perts battle for the championship in
that line; the athletes Of the cinder

MARRIAGE LAWS IN EUROPE
obstacles Some Countries Put in the
Way of Those Who Are
Anxious to Wed.

London.-A blue book issued by
the foreign Office tells the British sub
Ject residing outside British territory
now he may get married without re-
turning to British SOIL The book is
intended primarily to point out the
lntricacies of marriage laws in for.
eiGn countries when one of the par
ties is an alien.
In Norway no clergyman may per.
form marriage ceremony unless
both parties prove that they have
been vaccinated or have had small
pox. In the same country a guardian
may retain his wards goods and chat
tells If she should marry without HIS
consent. Marriages between one of
orthodox faith and a non-C Christian
are forbidden.
Parental consent is necessary to
marriage in Russia, and II the pros
pective bridegroom has insulted HIS
parents or grandparents or the
brides parents or grandparents their
pardon must be obtained to make the
marriage legal
This rule OF obtaining parental con-
sent when the parties are minors OBJ
tains in nearly every country and In
some OF them the consent of grand
parents is necessary. Divorce does
not dissolve the matrimonial bond in
most Latin countries.
Marriage laws sanctioned by the
Byzantine emperors are still in force
In Greece. There are many condi-
tons that prohibit marriage there.
Practically any reason that would
justify the belief that the marriage
would be unhappy, such as riotous or
immoral conduct on the part of one
of the applicants for a license, is a
bar to marriage In Peru, where mark
ed disparity in class and social con-
dttion is recognized as an impedi-
ment.
Proved immortality and lack of suf-
ficient means to support a wife serve
as bar in Austria While mar
riage between a Christian and non
Christian is illegal in Austria, a
change of faith after marriage in
such cases does not validate the
union
