She Is a Walking Arsenal.

Exchange.
A Paris judge d'instruction has just
had to deal with a most dangerous
woman, Nine. Lechevin by name.s This
virago walks about armed to the teeth,
and her husband, poor Nj. Lechevin,
has, consequently, been in continual
danger of his life. The couple are,
luckily, about to be divorced, but be-
fore the law had time to Slacken the
wedlOck bonds of the ill-assorted pair
Nine. Lechevin clipped out of a news
paper selection of small letters and
used them for the purpose of sending
an extraordinary and anonymous epistle
containing ISLANDERS against her husband
to the president of the divorce court.
M. Lechevin, as well as the president,
came to the conclusion that the SLAM
derer was the wife, and it was discov7
cred that the accusations made by her
were altogether unfounded. Nine.
Lechevin, however, summoned her
husband for having struck her
in consequence of the ac-
cusation; but this the long
suffering man denied, assuring the mag
istrate that it was he who went in daily
dread of his wife, for she carried revoi-
verS in her pocket and stuck daggerS all
over her cOrSage. She was, in fact, a
tremely dangerous for anybody to
thwart her or to veX her, for her first
impulse was to shed human gore.
The judge turned the tables on the
blOodthirsty virago by asking her to
spell two words which were in the letter
sent by her to the divorce court. She
did so and spelled them wrongly, just as
she had done in the epistle, and this was
at once taken in proof of her general
culpability. The judge finally dismissed
lady to reduce or do away with her
bloated armament, and she is still, ac-
cordingly, going about as a peripatetc
armOry, to the dread of her neighbors
and the terror of her husband.

Ine1r CGrulai Meeting Has a
Deeper Meaning Than CONT
mental Opinion Has Given to 1t.
Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, July 21.-If the political i'm
portance of the imperial meeting at st.
Petersburg has been belittled pre-
viOusly 1t is now realized that the
friendly visit of Emperor William to the
car has deeper meaning than CONT
mental opinion has given to it. The
cZar's concessions to the press and the
people indicate that he desires to
give the greatest weight and the
widest publicity to the meeting, the
Russian newspapers being permitted
to publish even the smallest details re-
garding the affair, and foreign CORE
spondents are accorded every courtesy
in pursuing this work. The car at
tended the dinner given at the German
embassy to-day. The reception to the
diplomatic corps, however. has been
abandoned, as most of the diplomats
are absent from the capital. Emperor
William received the German deputa-
ton before the dinner to-day, and was
exceedingly gracious. He has post
poned his departure until Monday in
order to attend the celebration of the
''name-day" of the queen of Greece.

COERCION CONDEMNED.
The Veteran John Morley Opens
the Ewes of MOrDeth Miners.

the Eyes Oh HiOfpctH NEiUefS.
LONDON, July 21.-John Morley to-
day addressed the miners at Morpeth
and afterwards spoke at a banquet
Oh the occasion of the opening of a
Liberal club at that place. In
the course of his remarks, in which
he denounced coercion in Ireland, he
said that the Parnell investigating COM
mittee would have good years steady
work before it. He wondered if the
public realized that fact He did not
believe that the country desired
that the charges against Mr.. Parnell
should be mixed up with those against
thirty or forty other persons were pres
ent. If the commission bill was passed,
as it now stood, there was a possibility
of opening the way for accusations
against any number of persons in Ire
land, through the disclosures that
might be made. The commission
would cause more confusion, ill
will and anarchy than he cared to con-
template. Whatever was the result, it
ought not to alter their determination
to do Justice to Ireland. Even if
it should be proved that the Ma
tional league was in some respects
criminal organization, they had the ter
rible damning fact that such an organi-
zation was needed to open the eyes of
England to the wrongs Of Ireland and
to force parliament to rescue tenants
from the grasp of the rack-renter and
the oppreSSOr.

Drained him on the spot, for every
woman on the floor stopped buying to
look at the man who had the nerve to
buy hustle. With his ears tingling
and a burning face poor Adolphus
walked as bravely as he could across
what seemed to him mile of floor space,
gaZed at by hundreds of eyes, to where
a pretty girl with mahogany red dress
and her hair done up in a SapphO knot
stood with smile waiting for him.
With look in her eye that Adolphus

said:

clear, distinct voice, glancing about her
as she spoke. ''Well, what sort of a

a counter piled with strange. wiry
with the most tantalizing looks, said
they didn't keep that kind, and she
looked as if she was glad of it. By this
time four other clerks had sauntered up
as if they had just happened along,
although AdOlphus could have sworn
that the chief of the inquisition had sig
nailed them to approach. They whis-
pered to each other and giggled little,
never taking their eyes off his face as
he paved over the wonderful additions
to the female frame, seeking for SUBJ
stitute for the design MarceIla had de-
scribed. At length he shut his eyes, put
out his hand and selected the one he
touched.
'Gimme that quick" he said, chok-
ingly. The girl, smiling most abomin-
ably, had the internal machine wrapped
up for him, gave him his change, and
allowed him to hurry away, with a rip
pie of laughter sounding in his REDEEM
ing ears. He was On the street before
he noticed that his fearful purchase was
wrapped in paper almost transparent
and nearly as fragile as tissue. He
saw with alarm, too, that the
BUSTLE WAS
so compressed that it occupied only
about One-siXth of its natural space. He
thought it the safest to take the thing
straight home, so he started for the
train. At every step he could feel the
steel springs and wires pressing against
the tender paper and thread-like strings
which confined them, and he FASTENED
