For the past several weeks hardly a day has passed but some person has appeared at the Police Station and reported that he has been made the victim of an expert pickpocket. No less than a score of such cases have been reported, and invariably the robberies were committed in street crowds, many of them at places where fakirs had attracted gatherings by their spieling.

Until yesterday the police had not the slightest clew to the identity of the thief who was making from $5 to $20 per day by these robberies, but yesterday they got their first lead. The pickpocket who has been committing all of these thefts is a woman. Ha) S'parks, whose home is at No. 426 Fremont avenue, was standing near the corner of Fourth and Main streets yesterday afternoon, listening to the cries of a man who was selling his wares from a wagon. He felt some person Jostle him, and, turning, saw a well-dressed and handsome blonde woman, who smilingly begged his pardon and said she was sorry.

He was rather pleased than offended at being Jostled by such a handsome creature, and was tickling himself that he had had an opportunity to speak to iwr. Then he felt for his watch, but It was missing. Of course the woman got It; but as a result of this robbery the police have secured a good description of the woman, as Sparks took a good look at her. His watch was worth nearly $100. WSSr 3fT -AS VST member the dignified and gracious manner in which Mrs.

A. C. Dodds. chief probation officer of the Los Angeles Juvenile Court, in Addressing the members of the Friday Morning Club yesterday, stated that his subject, "The Reclamation of Criminals," is a far cry from the subjects the women ore accustomed to listen to, but in giving his lively and interesting account of his long experience in this traced in almost every case the Origin of the criminal to the lack of a proper home, or home training in early years and thus brought the subject to a.

plane where mothers and women are nearly and vitally concerned. Lack of obedience to constituted auihority, lie thinks, is the beginning of trouble, always, and this great principle of obedience should be taught in the home. "No man is hopeless, no matter what his record." is the view which this successful reclaimr of criminals takes, nd ha related touching instances which had come under his observation as illustrations. The maudlin sentiment of Idiotic men and the gush of filly women over the most hardened criminals, he showed up in the true aspect, and also told how the recipients despise such. Mr.

Lodcis closed with an appeal to the members of the club to hold up his hands and the hands of Judge Wilbur In saving the children so that there may be no criminals In Los Angeles to reclaim. CUSTOMS IN BORNEO. Mrs. E. K.

Foster, who presided in the absence of Mrs. Jones, the president, introduced Alexander Dunlop, resident Governor of Borneo, who gave a humorous and interesting account of the social customs of the natives of that island. The practice of head hunting, which he dwelt upon as their most striking and revolting characteristic, has been almost stamped out by determined English rule. One could but feel in listening to Gov. Dunlop, that the quiet forcefulness of this man before them probably had not a little to do with the Improved condition of affairs.

Formerly a coy maiden, wooed by a persistent lover, inquired of him if he had ever taken a head, and if he had never done this worthy deed, he immediately set forth and deprived some man, woman or child generally child of his or her head, performing his errand in the most cowardly and un-hero-like manner. Upon his return to his own village a great feast was made and this eating and drinking and dancing, said Gov. Dunlop, always figured as the chief social function. According to the Governor, Borneo must. In some-ways, be a good place for women, for, though a wife is bought by her husband, she still remains the property of her father and mother, and the father-in-law may One a delinquent husband for mistreating this valuable effect.

With few clothes to worry about, a frill and some beads at the most; food growing almost without cultivation, no native religion or bother about the hereafter; with a Jolly disposition and a rooted distaste to labor of any sort, the native of Borneo eems to be in a pretty comfortable state, especially since the practice of head hunting has almost ceased. That genial diversion had depopulated whole districts up to the advent of the British. Many questions were asked Gov. Dunlop, and a familiarity with the' state of being of the Borneo Inhabitant was more closely arrived at by the Friday Morning Club, than its members had probably ever dreamed of. Especially Interesting were the personal experiences of the speaker la this far-off country.

Mrs. Foster announced that at the next meeting Charles F. Lummls will speak briefly on the true end and aim the Camino Real project. The official list of the delegates of the Friday Morning Club to the Federation meeting In' Sacramento is as follows: Mrs. T.
