An Athletic woman.

An athletic woman is at once the de-

GOLD COIN

An Omaha dispatch Of the 18th in
slant says: The question Of the legal
ity of what are known as "gold coin
contracts" was raised for the first time
in this county to-day. II came up in
the case of Chase against Wren, an
action to collect payment Of $1,000
mortgage note, on which default in
interest had occurred. The attorney
for the defense raised the point in the
District Court as to the effect of insert
ing in the note or contract the words
to pay in gold coin," or the words
"to pay in gold coin or its equivalent, !"
and argued that in either form the note
would be illegal, being in violation Of
the legal tender law and contrary to
public policy. During argument the
Court said that it would not enforce
that part OF the note contracting to pay
in gold and that if it came to a ques'
ton of holding that note was pay
able in gold coin or that the contract
was illegal and void the Court would
hold that it was illegal and void.

The custom Of flying flag half-mast
high as a mark OF mourning and res
pect arose out of the old naval and mil
itary practice Of lowering the flag in
time OF war as a sign OF submission.
The vanquished always lowered his
flag, while the victo. futtered his own
flag above it from the same staff. To
lower a flag. therefore, is a token oi
respect to ones superior and a signal
