i the practice taken up and seconded by the prts3 

 generally, in Uns city ot New York the habit of car:, us- 

 concealed weapons of the pistol type is very common. Three years 

 and a had ago, in February, i-7s, the ordinance making the carrying 

 of a pistol without special permission by ihe police, a misdemeanor, 

 became a law. The numbei of permits grunted to clitzeus had 

 reached live thousand, and since the robbery of 110,00-1 irom the 

 brewery clerk three weeks ago, on Lexington Avenue in broad day- 

 liaht, ihe applications have more than trebled, coiidng In at the rate

 supposed to make inquiries into the applicant's history and antece-

 pany and hours he keeps, and to embody the results of his investiga-
