tween the States. who lay Ill In bed
at his home at Highland Park.
A glass case of curios and souvenirs
which belongs to Waterman Burgess

prit taking only those articles which
could be disposed of easily and ieav-
Ing things of little value. showing
much care in the selection of his loot.
Until Mr. Burgess is able to leave
the bed and make an inventory OF his
stock the value of the stolen property
cannot be learned but it is believed
that the loot will net the thief about
500. This estimate is based on an
examination made by Mrs. Burgess
Friday morning shortly after the dis
cory of the theft.
watchman Burgess in addition to
his official duties vends curios and
souvenirs in the reference room on
the top floor of the library building.
His customers are visitors and sight
seers and among his stock are some
of the oldest curfos in the State. He
keeps his wares In two glass cases
which are so fragile as to tempt a
person of dishonest inclinations.
About week ago Mr.. Burgess
was forced to go to his home because
OF illness and since then his goods
have not been on sale except for the
brief periods each day when Mrs.
Burgess was able TO be present at
the stand.
About 7 o'clock Friday morning

was passing through the reference
room and discovered that one of the
glass cases had been broken. She

The lock had been pried from the case
and thrown on the floor. There was
no clue to the identity of the thief.

her home for the library at once. She
was unable to ascertain what had been
stolen beyond the fact that half OF

coins. She notified the police and an
investigate nwas instituted.
1t was learned that the robbery
was committed some time between
o'clock Thursday afternoon and I
O'Clock Friday morning. but at what
hour is not yet known.
Among the articles displayed in

coins and bills. ancient stamps issued
by various naions. buttons wern on

So rules City Councilman George
w. Rogers of Marshall ward.
Armed with an ordinance passed In
August. 1910, Mr.. Rogers called on
Market Clerk Johnston Thursday and
told him to see that the florists who
have been accustomed these many
years To hack up their carts along
side the market do not ply their
trade any longer In that manner In
stead they should either occupy a
sail in the market or vamoose.
That made the florists get busy.
They hail mostly from Henrico coun-
~ and so they called in Legislator
G.. w. Throckmorton as legal adviser,
Mr.. Throckmorton got busy with his
law books. and while he was deciding
that florists are farmers and truck
ers. the flower sellers got busy with
a petition.
Friday morning Mr., Throck morton
called on Clerk Alfred Mcdowell, of
the council committees. in company
with several OF his chents.

off in the meantime. The market
committee will give the matter spe-

1t is reported that some of the
