ROBBERY AT The
COLEMAN MARKET

Another robbery, the sixth in the
history of the store, was perpetrated
at the a. J. Coleman meat market.
1913 Second avenue, early this morn
to the store by climbing through an
open tTansom at the front entrance
and Tansacked desks, drawers and
the cash register. \ check for $50,
dated four years back, and made pay
able TO the head Office of the Knights
of Columbus by the local council,
was secured, together with about 500
pennies. The police were notified
but as yet have no clew as to the
identity Of the robbers.
RANSACK PLACE.
a scene of disorder greeted the
eyes of Thomas Smiley, when upon
opening up the place for busintss at
$50 this morning he found the cash
register drawer open and papers
scattered all over the counter There
were about - pennies left in the
register and these were taken by the
office of the proprietor. and drawing
the curtain and closing the door,
searched every drawer and pigeon
hole in the desk. About 80 pennies
were taken here, but a pasteboard
box containing several hundred more
was overlooked. No attempt was
made at the safe.
ROBBERY BOLD ONE.
That the robbers climbed in the
front transom and worked behind
the counter with the curtains up,
speaks well for their audacity. The
robbery of last night is the sixth
which has been attempted at the
Coleman meat market in a short per-
iod Of time. 1t is thought that an
organized band OF robbers are oper-
ating in this vicinity. az a similar
attempt was made at the Brewer res
idence on Twenty-second street but
"a hours previous.

MEANING OF AAT HALF MAST
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that when.
ever a prominent person dies, espe-
cially If he is connected with the gov
eminent, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the way
Up, REMARKS the Toronto Mail and Ex-
press. Thfs~is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death OF a great man?
Ever since fsigs were used in war It
has been the custom to have the flag
OF the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above it On the same
pole. sThis was token not only Of
submission, but of respect.
In those days when q famous so.-'
der died flags, were lowered out of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely MILL
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being
sign that the dead man was worthy
of universal respect. The spasc left
above 1t is for the flag of the great
conqueror of all-the angel of death.

Rousseau, whose bicentenary cele-

he visited England in 1865. Rousseau

crowds when he first arrived in Lon

admiration lasted he was contented
and happy. Garrick not only gave a
supper in his honor, but played two
characters specially to please him.
Rousseau was highly gratified, but
Mrs. Garrick declared that she had

Under seemingly generous offer

stroke Of business for himself. In a
Hanover paper recently appeared
an advertisement that from fifteen to
twenty women and girls (not under

lodging on country estate, But in
exchange they would be required to
pick peas FROM eight to ten hours
