AND STILETTO.

Before a Target-The Sales of Deadly Wea-

and What They Book Bike.
New York Sun.
“I don't know where the women get the
practice," the superintendent of a rifle and
pistol gallery said, ( "but I tell you I’ve been
surprised many a lime at seeing what good
pistol shots some are. There are at least a
dozen whom I know by sight, but of course 1
don't know their names, that I’m sure of see
ing in front of my targets often every season.
Where they practice during the winter I’ve
no idea I’ve asked some of the men who
keep galleries in the city if any of them ever
catch on to that trade, but they say ‘Xo.’ Xo
ladies come to them, they say. It must be they
whang away in their own houses, up in the
garret, maybe, or down in the basement, may
hap plugging a strange cat in the back yard
now ami then. Anyway, however they do it,
they come out in good form for the summer,
and make bull’s eyes and inners like an ex
pert. Only a few of them regularly usu my
dueling pistols. They’re a lovely pairof pops,
but a little too heavy for ladies’ hands. Gen
erally they bring their own pistols, pretty lit
tle weapons, pearl-handled, gilt, or silver-
plated, and all that sort of thing. As a rule,
that sort of pistol doesn't amount to much,
hut there arc some of them which will shoot
like a clmrm. There was, however, one wo
man wlio came to my range lost summer and
wanted to practice with a ‘swamp angel’—a
howitzer of a weapon of forty-one caliber.
I was afraid to let her, for fear slic’d break
the plate; but I rigged a soft target against a
sand bank, and let her blaze away at that.
Ami she could shoot. Her line shooting was
a good deal better than most men make, even
on the word. She was the only woman I ever
saw fire on the word—duelist fashion. She
was a tall brunette, Spanish or Mexican
should say, and dressed like a queen. A chap
who hadn't anything to say came with her.
He didn’t shoot. In fact, he seemed to be
afraid of the pistol, and he’d have good reason
to lie if she ever got after him.”
A pistol dealer said: "I sell some revolvers
to women, but not many, probably not more
than twelve or fifteen a year. Those who
buy them are always well dressed ladies,
sometimes coming in their carriages and witii
liveried drivers. They buy small revolvers,
costing from $5 to $10 each. You must not
suppose that the latter price only buys a poor
revolver. Pistols are down now. You can
buy n splendid revolver for $12 or $14, a
weupon such as a king might not be ashamed
to carry. And ten dollars will get a charm
ing one, ivory or pearl handled, nickel plated
and engraved handsomely; one that will
shout straight. You see there arc a great
many more women carry pistols than those
who buy them for themselves. Husbands,
lovers and brothers buy them as presents.
Men who have to be away from home a great
deal, commercial travelers and others,
as a prudential measure in these
times of bold burglars and impudent tramps,
often deem it advisable to leave their wives
in jHjssession of means of self protection. Of
.course I cannot tell when a pistol', is taught •
for that purpose, but the inference is that
such is the intent in the mind of the pur
chaser when he buys at once two good pistols,
and that is very frequently done. It would be
a very good thing if women generally could
be taught how to handle pistols. They are
the weaker sex, and it would be only fair to
arm them so os to give them a little more even
chance against lawless members of society.
The only trouble and danger about women’s
handling of pistols is their ignorance of
tho weapon. Let them be taught how to
handle the revolver properly, and to know
what deadly work it is capable of, and they
will, I think, be even more judicious than
men are in its use. Men, as a rule, only use
the revolver ill advisedly, when they are un
der the influence of liquor, and women, la
dies at least, are not liable to that evil influ
ence. It would have been an excellent thing
that time when Mrs. Dc Harry’s ear-ringswere
torn out by a rufliunly thief, on a fashionable
street and in broad daylight, if she had pos
sessed a revolver and been expert enough in
using it to bring him down with a bullet.”
As the reporter was leaving, the dealer
called after him: "One moment more, if ydu
please. If you are going to write anything
ataut the pistol business, do say something
against the curse of selling revolvers to boys.
Nobody outside my business has any idea "of
the extent and danger of that evil. There
ought to be a law against selling a pistol to a
minor. Not a week, hardly even a day passes,
in which I do not have to refuse to sell a re
volver to a boy. Less than six months ago
a couple of boys came in here together
wanting an outflt of big pis
tols, cartridges and bowie-knives. I had
the good idea of sending out quietly for a
policeman while amusing them with pre
tended sales to them of all the deadly weapons
they wanted. When they were arrested, it
turned out that they had stolen the money
for their armament and intended to go off to
the west to fight Indians, incited, of course,
by these pernicious, flash weekly papers. I
will not sell a pistol to a boy, but lots of small
stores scattered about town do so. And the
pawn shops will sell them all they want. I
tell you this thing is a very great evil and
should be stopped."
A large down-town dealer, who sells both
by wholesale and at retail, said: “We sell
some pistols to women, but nof. a great many,
and those who come to us to buy appear to
be generally Spaniards or Cubans or South
Americans. They generally get small, fancy
weapons—things that look pretty, but don’t
cost much and are little good. "The fact is
that not one woman in forty thousand knows
any more about a pistol than about ordering
a dinner. They buy revolvers on the same
general system that they buy bonnets—by
the looks. I have heard say "that there are
some ladies in society who are very good pis
tol shots, but I don’t know any of them, and
would not feel justified in mentioning their
names if I did. I don’t think we have ever
sold a dirk or stiletto to a woman.”
The mention of that other class of weapon
suggested another inquiry of the pistol dealer,
who said: “Yes, I have frequently sold small
stilettos to ladies, but always as they said for
purposes of dress ornament, and exceedingly
pret y things, like this"—showing one with
an exquisitely moulded bronze handle—"for
instance. They poke them into their bonnets,
or jab them through their hair, or something
of the sort. I don’t believe any of my stiletto
purchasers have had any sanguinary pur-
Bowery, nearly all of which sell small,
cheap ’ and "fancy revolvers, and the
pawnbrokers’ shops. These establishments
buy them from us oy the case, and whoever
their customers may be—women or boys, for
all we know—ccr a’nly they get rid of a great
many. I should imagine that there are vast
numbers of revolvers owned by women in this
country; not habitually carried by them, cf
course, but kept for purposes of home protec
tion. A woman is liable to have an abiding
faith that the sight of a pistol will scare any

hideous ugliness was held up to tlie detesta

pressive. and the presence of avenging justice
in the near future was suggested with the
force of conviction that swept from the court
room every vestige of that levity which has so
long danced attendance upon every utterance
of the prisoner, and like a veil obscured from
the consciousness of the spectators the horrors
of the crime and what should be the solem

of schools, colleges and associations.
Under the programme two days will be
devoted to each subject. The "discussion
was opened by Mr. George H. Cook, of New
York, who read a paper entitled “Agricultu
ral education.” At the conclusion of the
reading, which occupied some time, a lively
discussion upon it ensued, which was partief-
pared in by Messrs. E. S. Gold of Connecti
cut, J. A. Femald, president of Maine agri
cultural college, Mr. Alvorrd of New York,
A. A. Sargent of California, Hon. D. Wyatt
Aiken’of South Carolina. Profs. Caldwell "and
Koberts of Cornell university, New York,
Commissioner Loring and many other gentle
men. Among other questions raised in the
discussion of the paper was whether means
could be devised to luduce the graduates of
agricultural societies to return to their farm
work instead of drifting into other occupations.
The belief seemed to be general amongst the
delegates that there were far brighter pros
pects for the young graduate who courageous
ly takes up his farm work and carries it out
in an intelligent manner than in any other
career open to him.
At the conchtsion of the debate Dr. Loring
delivered an eloquent address, in the course
of which he remarked that it had never be
fore been his fortune to listen to so able and
thorough a discussion of agricultural matters
and he predicted a grand future for all
branches of science, as he said agriculture
should be called.

Enuna Abbott, the songstress, spent to-day
in St. Louis, much against her will, and re

hours. Two weeks ago Miss Abbott appeared
in Chicago, and became so alarmed at the
E resence of small-pox that she determined to

a prima donna with a plebcan scab would
simply be outrageous, and the public would
not for an instance tolerate it. The next

the serious point, and the problem required
several days' discussion, but finally Miss Ab

Slavery In the Far Wert.
St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
Paul Boynton, in his trip down the Missouri, has
run across a curious matrimonial custom that the
government should look into. One night he was
entertained by a rancher named George Mince,
comely squaw presided over bis household, and
three pretty half-breed children called him father.
To his guest he confessed the fact that he had
bought this woman at Standing Rock agency for a
horse, he purchased her as a substitute for his In
dian wife whom he had bought several years ago,
married, overworked and maltreated until she rati
away. The squaw is kept hard at work, and the
husband or master does not allow her to sit at the
same table with him, and beats her whenever he
pleases. What Mince had done is a common
tiling among the neighbors. “This system of fe
male slavery,” says Boynton, “is much more ex
tensive than the public"generally supposes. Scores
of white men are accumulating wealth from the
physical labor of these poor women and their chil
dren.” Boynton says that a few years ago a white
wood-cutter bought a twelve-year-old Indian girl
for $150 at the Berthold agency, and it was regarded
there as an ordinary business transaction. As all
the half-breed children are entitled to rations aud
clothing from Indian agencies, the importance of
this immoral slavery as to mere matter of govern
ment economy is self-evident. This.is a phase of
the Indian question that is kept in the background,
but it is a fruitful source of evil and misery which
demands immediate attention.

The People Taking a Lively Interest In the Mntter.
Macon, January 11.—A large and enthusi
astic meeting of representative citizens was
held in this city to-day to discuss plans for
the grand national art exhibition. The orig
inal intention of tlie projectors was to have
the exhibition in May, but the enterprise hits
met with such encouragement and assumed
such proportions as will necessitate more
time and extensive preparations.
The meeting was presided over by Rev. Dr.
A. J. Battle, president of Mercer university,
who addressed the meeting.
He was followed by Colonel Thomas Har
deman and others. .
Committees were appointed and will report
plans and a programme at an early date. The
exhibition will probably be held in October
next, and the projectors expect to make it
superior to anything of the kind ever before
attempted in America.
