Big Pistols and Little That Are Carried
by Men and Women Who wheel.
From the New York Sun.
A man went into a gun store the
other day and asked to see a firearm
such as the cyclists were buying. A
wicked little revolver of 32-caliber, rim
fire, with a three-inch barrel, rubber
grip and the metal parts nickel-plated,
was shown first. There was bit of
rust on the rining of the barrel that
would displease man fond OF his
weaDons still that was what the cy-
clists were buying. 1t was sold at 81,
and a holster and belt cost 50 cents
more. 1t would do to kill dog any
where within 10 feet of the wheelmen,
If the shooter knew how to handle it.
When asked TO show the very best
revolver for a wheelmans use. the
clerk brought out a blue-metal work.
black rubber handled, 32-caliber, center
fire. FIVE shot revolver, costing $1,000.
In the hands of a man or woman who
could shoot at all, this weapon would
be deadly to anything from the size OF
a man down. It's effective range would
be up to about 80 yards, while the bull
let, If IL landed. would kill a big cur
dog 300 yards away easily. The charge
of powder is so small that a woman
would not be annoyed by the sound or
kick.
A three-inch, single barreled pistol of
22-caliber, would disable a dog, and
could be carried in a coat or in an up
per vest pocket For an extremely SEN
sitive woman such pistol would not
be a cause of worry in firing, since the
charge of powder is so small as to be
inaudible at 100 or so yards; but.
properly aimed. IL would kill a man.
A weapon which sportsmen cyclists
use good deal on trips into regions
like New Jersey and the Catskill noun
tains is a 22-caliber pistol with 10 or
12-inch barrel All told. this pistol
weighs a pound. 1t is accurate for
range of 100 yards. and will send bull
/ let through four or five inches Of
spruce. A barrel three inches long
may be had for the same stock. 1t is
easily carried in a long pocket inside
/ ones coat. where ii would be out OF
sight, but handy in case of need. A
similar pistol weighing three pounds is
made Deer have been killed with
them, and they are fine for shooting
bothesome ours, If the wheelman is so
disposed They are easily fastened to
handle-bars of wheels or along the up
per tube Of the frame behind the tool
bag.
Some wheelmen prefer heavy weap-
! ons, and get those of 3S-caliber or
larger The recoil and noise are objec-
I tionable, but the size or the bullets, 10
their minds. outweighs these disadvan-
tages. A 41-caliber. single harreled der
ringer has a number of devotees, but 1t
kicks wickedly, and not very good
work can be done with ii, save at the
very shortest range. Gamblers in old
days used such weapons, and the way
they shot men armed with three-pound
revolvers across card-tables was eau
ton. A five-shot revolver, 32-caliber,
weighs but little more, and has con-
siderable backing If the first shot
misses.
There are a good many women who
carry revolvers of one kind or another,
and some know how to use them.

Union went to pay the difference in
Missouri Pacific. They lost millions OF
dollars of their own money also. Gould
turned the tables on them completely
and in a wink he was as rich as he
ever had been.
The finesse of this coup of the Little
Wizard can hardly be understood ex-
cept by Wall street men. The real Sc
cret of the maneuver lay in the weak
ness that Gould perceived when the
syndicate proposed to buy stock from
him. He judged that they had been
selling what they did not possess-and
right rightly at IL turned out-and de-
voted every penny he had TO cornerlng
them on the other stock missouri Pa

rise of course. he would have been
ruined completely. AS 1t was, the syn
dictate went TO the wall TO man.

Miss Russell?" / suggested.
THAT talk about Miss Russell being
fat is not quite accurate" Miss Gard
ncr said. Miss Russell wears only a
medium size No. q Her weight is
about the hips. Below that measure
she has a beautiful figure, especially
from the knee down. Few women have
had lovelier lower limbs.
Miss Russell wears tights under all
her dresses; exquisite ones of either
pale pink, gray or white. Many soci-
ETY. women come to me for tights to
wear with all their dresses. A great
number of society women wear them
with loose, trailing house gowns. They
were very generally worn when the
Empire gown was fashionable. For
both cycling and riding tights are pre-
ferred by such women as young Mrs.
Lorillard. Miss Whitney and Miss DE
Wolfe"
The expert says there is less ripping
and running of tights than formerly,
because they are better made now.
Silk tights made to order, such as Miss
Russell wears, cost $3.50 a pair. They
are exquisitely made, with every bit
of loose mesh narrowed off. They are
woven on hand machinery, and are
very different from the first American
attempts at tight making of 20 years
ago.
