TIIE LUMP CITY MINER: LUMP CITY, MONTANA. N.\ FeRE'S (HARD. FRANCE IS CAREFUL OF HER PRESIDENT. rztraordinary Precautions Takes with a View of Saving iiim trots the Fate that Overtook the Late Sad' quarnet— Watchful Body -Guards. VER since the as- sassination of Pres- ident Carnot great precautions have been taken In France regarding the safety of its chief executive whenever that gen- tleman appears in public, or while in a triumphal tour. Such a tour Presi- dent Faure has just eempleted, and for his safety a most elaborate guard ac- companied him from the moment he stepped into his carriage at the gates of the Elysee. en route, until he stepped out of it upon his return home. Had such careful policing been done a few short months ago, it is quite pro' able that Jean Francois Marie Sadi Cameo would have been spared to the public. During his journey President Faure's guard consisted, first, of the special brigade of the Elysee palace, a carefully picked body of men composed of four- teen inspectors, and commande' i by a brigadier -general: second, of what Is now known throughout Paris c the \New Brigade,\ consisting of twenty detectives carefully chosen from aut of the ranks of the entire Parisian police force: third, the commissaires of police in each city that he visited dun t ,g his tour, each backed by a careft y se- lected platoon. This latter force did not, of ceurse, accompany the president on the train, but was simply drawn up at each depot, and formed an outer guard during his stay in that particular city. In regard to the special brigade of the Elysee palace mentioned above, It is interesting to note that the brigadier in command is a man of considerable ImPtillildince in the French state, and draws a salary of 3,000 francs per year ca large sum in Paris), besides getting 26 francs a day when the president is on one of his journeys. He is also given the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor when he retires tram office. The special policing of the rulers of France has been a subject that the gov- ernment has for the most part paid a good deal of attention to. During the days of the last empire the guard that protected the person of Napoleon III was kept on duty in the palace day and night. At functions within, and when- ever the emperor went without, a hand- ful of men in plain clothes cohtinually surrounded him. The commandant of this guard was the famous Chief Hyr- voix, who was wont to travel directly before the imperial conveyance in a lit- tle ‘oupe drawn by a swift and tireless PRESIDENT FAURE. trotter, while his subordinates followed on horseback or in carriages. On jour- neys this accomplished detective occu- pied a compartment in the imperial train, and whenever the train drew up at a station he used to jump out and o r o into the telegraph office to glean whatever information he could over the wires Tillers had also his trained body of special policemen, headed by one of the -cleverest French \sleuth hounds\ of the day. During one of his tours an amus- ing incident occurred at Havre. One of the inspectors, while prowling through the cafes heard a man say in a low tone that was full of meaning . \Do you know M. Thiers? Very well! He is done for. It is a sure thing that he will never return alive to Paris.\ Upon hearing this the inspector at once detailed one of the most vigilant men of the corps to shadow the fellow who had thus spoken. This the men himself soon perceived, and, going ; up to the detective with an air of bland unconsciousness, he told him that he knew exactly why he (the detective) was following him up in this way, and that he proposed tó afford him eJery facility in his task. He invited the ehadower to walk by his side instead of behind him; to come to the house he was staying at and dine with him; to sleep in his bed: to be constantly with- in nnitler touch et hint until President Thiers should have quitted Havre. This proposition te detective accepted. and did net find the slightest thing to arOulie his suspicions. It was never found out whether it was a joke played upon the po li ce force or simply an unthinking mistake based on mere rumor on the part of the suspected citizen. Marehel MerMahon, when he was preeldent, had a force of sixteen men constantly surrounding him, under the lommand of the distinguished M. Ria» - ler. Whenever It was possible, Blavier accompanied the old marshal on foot, but as Macidahon used most frequently to ride. it became a necessity for the chief of the Elysee pollee to be mounted also Pleader was exceedingly corpuent, and It was only with the greatest dif- ficulty that he could stick en the back ot a horse. Nevertheless, rather than FIGHTS i A FINISH. lose the excellent position that fate had 'granted him, he put himself Leto the saddle many days of the week. \LIL\ TIRED OF PRISON. The Ex -Queen Fropo4os to Appeal te Ilawaltan (curt, fur Rebela Accot ding to mail adviceri from Hono- lulu the ex -queen has become tired of prison confinement and will soon make an effort to gain hei freedom. Her friends have been busy in her behalf and a writ of habeas corpus was to have been sworn out when the steamer left. Paul Neumann, her attorney, is pre- paring his argument. It had been a complete surprise to the government that no attempt had been made to test the validity of the military court that recently dealt with the rebels. It was generally understood that a test case would be made as soon as It adjourned, but for some reason no action was tak- en. Rumors of a rupture in the Hawai- ian cabinet were current when the steamer sailed. The disagreement was said to be over the disposition of the rebel prisoners. Ministers Damon and King being in favor of liberating all prisoners but the ringleaders and being opposed by Minister Hatch and Attor- ney -General Smith. It was said that President Dole favored the release of the men. As the outcome of the affair it was said that Damon and King would resign. The statement was denied. PAUL BOURGET. A Distinguished French Writer and 11. lustrator Coming. Paul Bourget, the French novelist, is to come to this country in August for PAUL BOUROCT the purpose of gathering material for a story. M. Bourget claims that the French people, having grown tired of native stories demand foreign char- acters and far -away scenes—American in both cases being preferred. Bourget Is a vivid writer of the latest French school and illustrates his own stories, being an artist by natural gift. For the Woman Tra•eler. The best advice to give the woman who is traveling is that she must not be in a hurry. Hurrying will tire her out before she starts, will make her face red, and upset her nerves. Let her ar- range as to time, know exactly how much she has, and study the art of reaching her train punctually, which does not mean an hour too soon or three minutes too late, but just ahead of the hour set. It is her duty to look well, but not to be overdressed. It is her duty to have with her the belong- ings she play require, but she should not have so many unnecessary thing in the way of bundles and bags that the public feel that she is an unpleasant care upon them. It is her duty to pre- serve her temper, to look for all agree- able things, to Ignore the disagreeable ones, and then. Indeed, will she find pleasure as she goes abroad \strange countries for to see.\ SUSAN B. ANTHONY. The origieei Woman auffraglat at Re- cent Convention. The portrait is the latest one of Susan B.

GUSSIE FREEMAN, BROOKLYN'S WOMAN PUGILIST. fihe Grew Up l'otutorett and Took to Doling as a Dock Takes to Water— Han Finally Drifted Into the Saloon Hueneme Brooklyn Correspondence.) HE fin de blecle woman is making such rapid strides into the realm of man that it begins to look as though the weaker sex will become the strong- er and man have to step aside in all vo- cations that have been exclusively his own, leaving to the heretofore lord and master little more than the drudgery of the kitchen or the nursery. One woman of Brooklyn has stepped so completely into man's place that those who trémble at the success of woman's conquests against man in trades and vocations need only know her to give up the struggle and grace- fully accept second place. This woman is Gussie Freeman. She has been known as a handler of bales of hemp at Waterbury's cordage fac- tory, at the head of Newton creek, and as a pugilist. Now Mies Freeman has added to her fame, and after having Worked as a brick handler on the docks has become a successful saloonkeeper. the owner of fighting dogs that she handles, and of fighting cocks that she trains. The higher education of woman has had nothing to do with the progress Gussie Freeman has made in lines SS work that are believed to have been monopolized by man. The lack of educa- tion is the principal one of the circum- stanees to which she attributes her unique position. She blames rath- er than credits the circum - stances that have made her what she is, the strongest and most masculine waernan in the city, if not in the world. \I never had any education,\ she said, in her saloon In Cook street recently. \My mother was too poor to send me to school, and when I was 12 years old she sent me to the rope walk to work. I didn't like the work the girls did there, and whenever I could get out of the shop I would go to the yard and help load the trucks, and before I was 14 I could do as much work as any man. I was larger and heavier than any' wom- an in the shop.\ Miss Freeman sighed as she looked down at the blue jumper and apron of the same material she wore. No one ever saw a tear in her eye, but there was a suggestion of tears in her voice as she went on \1 wish I was more like a w.)man. I don't like to be 80 much like a man, but 1 can't help it. I must make a liv- ing and I am not tit for anything but the kind of work I do. I have a flat up- stairs. It is the first home I ever had and the best thing I ever had.\ Gussie Freeman was born near Ridge- wood thirty-one years ago. Her earliest recollection is that she had to work from morning until night. As her moth - IN FIGHTING COSTUME. er was very poor Gussie had to search for wood and cinders for family fuel as soon as she was able to do anything. She first knew that she could fight when she was 13 years old. A big boy in the rope walk was a terror to the girls and frequently chased them and pulled their hair until Gossip became their champion and punehed his head. She did not scratch or slap him, but stood up and hit out from the shoulder. So manfully' did she whip the bully that her fame spread and she was called upon by mrny girls to protect them from boys at whose hands they suffered Injustice. She was always ready to fight for a girl or a woman when the enemy was a man. Three years ago she went to her girder Lena, who was a dressmaker, and said she was tired of the work she had been doing and wanted to do woman's work.

Battle Leslie a woman pugilist, ap peered In the rtnioue theater in Grand street, and offered to meet all comer; men or women, for a purse. A foteman In the rope walk Induced Gueste to meet the woman. The house was crowded, and as soon as Gusale showed, which she did in the tired rourid, that she could win the purse, the applause was tremendous. Police Captain Short stopped the fight at the end of the third round, and It was declared a draw. Gus - sie defeated Hattie Leslie three nights later, and was then engaged by Hattie's humbarni, alio was manager of the dra- matic eembination, to travel and box ith Hattie. Gussie had never been off Long Island until she went on the road. Her Ignorance of the ways of the world resulted in her being cheated out of her salary at the end of the season, but she had then seen much ot the world end had been as far west ari\ Chicago.

But she was thoroughly tired of the rope walk, and worked during the win- ter of 1893 on the shore of Newton creek as a brick handler with a gang of men, and did as much work as any of the gang. She bought the Cook street saloon last June, and the few men who thought they could take advantage of there be- ing no man behind the bar found that they had made a mistake. One of the men who made this mistake is Walter Hanigan, a local boxer.

I have been among them all my life and under meny circum- stances, but no man has ever kissed me. Those who thought of doing so learned long ago that it was dangerous to at- tempt it. I tell you I am not like other women.
