1 ARMED WOMEN •WHO KNOW THE USE OF PISTOL AND STILETTO. X*diM Who are Credited with Beta* Good Show Before a Target-The Sales of Deadly Wea- . pons to Women—What They say 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 THE ARM OF JUSTICE EXTENDED OVER THE GUILTY GUI* TEAU’S HEAD.

The silence became op 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 nity of its judicial atonement. The prisWTer winced and nervously twisted in his plage, and for several minutes was unable to say anything that in any sense could approach to an interruption. Gradually the prisoner gained his usual as surance and resumed his daily habit of inter- rujiting with contradictions and denial.

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.

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. CONTAGION destroyed.
