AMAZON FREE LANCERS.
Emperor Franz Joseph Importuned t
Permit the Enlistment of Women.

Emperor Franz Joseph ImpOrtuned to
Permit the Enlistment of Women.
Emperor Franz Joseph Of Austria has
just narrowly escaped having an amazon
corps showed into his army in spite of
all the objections of his General staff
and the Minister of War. Three Polish
widows from Lemburg applied at
the Ministry Of War in Vienna
for permission to organize volun-
teer amazon corps for the imperial
Austrian and Hungarian army The
petition, containing the arguments Of
the three Polish women, urged that
they should be allowed to enlist all
young girls and married women whose
stature and general health insured to
| them the muscle and endurance of the
average male soldier. 1t was q right,
the petition said, of every female sub
ject of the Austrian throne to do as much
for the fatherland as her brother or
father. The three Polish women gave
proofs OF their ability to handle the new
Mannlicher rifles with the proper skill
and thorough military evolutions. They
offered to mount, uniform and arm the
amizon corps at their own expense.
The Ministry of War received the petit
tion, passed it through the proper off,
cial hands, and pigeonholed it. The
Polish women then appealed personally
to the Emperor for the permission which
the Ministry of War had refused. The
Emperor apparently desired to smash
the whole scheme with q pocket veto,
for he listened to the detailed argument
of the Polish women in silence and has
shown no Sign since the audience of
satisfying their thirst for military glory.
The Kuryer Lwowsky, a Polish daily
published at Lemberg, said recently
that the three amazons had determined,
in case they could get no encourage
ment at Vienna, to organize the corps
under the name of the Amazon Free
Lancers.

GAN RECOVER DAMAGES.

A Photographer Has No Right to Sell
Pictures ~ His Customers.
At St Paul in the Supreme Court re-
Gently e decision was handed down in
/ the case OF Ida Moore, Of Minneapolis,
against Photographer Rugg. Rugg sold
a copy of Mrs. Moore's picture, which
was put on exhibition in improper
places, much to the lady's discredit and
she brought suit for damages. The Su-
preme Court holds that it is case in
which there is ground for recovering
damages; that the photographer has no
right to dispose of pictures, which are
the sole property of the sitter. The
decision is an important one, as similar
cases have arisen previously in other
parts of the country.
