WOMEN BUYING RIFLES.
Large Increase In the Number who
Go Hunting with Their
Husbands.

Inquiries of some of the chief dealers
in sporting guns show that their sea
sons trade has been especially active
this month. Shotguns are brisllly sold,
gut there is very lively demand for
sporting rifles, for which women Gus
toners are partly responsible.
You would be surprised,'' said TIN
head of one large establishment, ito
know how the number of women who
go shooting with their husbands or
brothers has increased in the last six
or eight weeks. No, don't think the
change is wholly due to the athletic
woman. 1t seems to me that most Of
the women who go in for shooting do
so because, when the husband goes Off
on shooting trip, he wants to take his
wife with him and let her have q share
in the fun.
The women come in here with their
menfolk sometimes, and they pick up
gun with no mere idea how to hold it
than if it was lasso. 1 don't think
there has been more than one woman
in this store who took up a gun as if
she knew how to handle it. No, they
are no more difficult customers than
men. If a man isn't an expert himself,
he goes to some friend who thinks he
is an expert, and asks his advice. The
man who has been shooting for several
years thinks he knows it all, and that
we don't know anything. So the new
hand comes in here, full Of infallible
advice, and it's hard work to suit him.
We've got everything, but he can't de-
eide.
THE women know they don't know
and we can suit them quickly. We sell
them very light rifle, 30-caliber, with
smokeless powder and long bullets, like
those of the navy rifle.
Eyes; they say that they can shoot,
and kill deer, too. But the way they
handle guns here doesn't look much
like tn. Y. Post.

CHATS WITH THE PLAYERS.

Washington spent its leisure of the past
week in making the acquaintance of Annie
Russell. an American young woman who
took only two months to fight her way in
London, but failed to accomplish as much
in her fatherland in twice as many years.
The trouble has been very likely that Miss
Russell did too well the work with which
she hogan her stage career. so that local
audiences have ever since been unwilling
to see her in characters unlike those in
which they first grew to know her As the
world is full of comedians tragicaliy in
clined and legitimate actors who long to
appear in opera, il is not remarkable that
this should have been the case. The IN
usual thing about Miss Russell is that she
hit upon d very business-like mode OF
transit from her old roles to those which
she hopes to make her new ones, and that
this effort bears all the earmarks of ulti-
mate success.
In the first place. Miss Russell waited for
an opportunity until her career was fairly
well beguu-until her name was reasonably
well known and Coterie OF admire.s
formed of 10 small proportions. But she
did not wait until all the theatrical world
had accustomed itself 10 thinking Of her
as it thinks. of Kate Claxton or Lewis Nor
rison. and just at that period when her of
sition as an actress generally acknowl-
edged, she hired a theatre in New York
presented her associates on the stage with
tickets. and babe them all come and criti-
else while she essayed a part dangerously
near the melodramatic. This was early
last spring. when the metropolis had grown
tired OF Way Down East" had refused to
accept The Koreans" and sought some
thing more dyerting to talk about than
Henry Miller in The Master" So the
actorfolk went willingly 10 Miss Russelrs
matinee, marveled at her courage in sur
herself with a company of excep-
tional strength even for Gotham, and came
away convinced that she deserved some
better fate than a life spent In iDgenue
roles. bus still prepared TO sympathize with
her because she could never attain il. Then
she gave out an interview announcing that
Mr.. Frohman meant TO take her to London.

much to make popular THE Widow
Jones'" Both are we'll known for their
merit, and should do great deal toward
keeping the Grand well filled during their
engagement. They are to present a new
sketch OF which many good things have
been said.
Mile. Titenia, who is certainly an accom-
plished and marvellous dancer, heads the
support to be given Mr.. Rice, and will
make her return engagement memorable
by showing her audiences some entirely
new toe work. Florence Henri King, a
local girl of great talent as a yioiniste
will also be heard in a number of popular
and classic favorites. Miss King is de-
clared TO be a musician of extraordinary
talent, and has been made some very fiat

she has played. The Kleist Brothers are
