The yigilant doorkeeper, Mr.. Poole, sta
toned himself near her, and she showed
no disposition to interrupt the proceed

ment, she proceeded down the aisle, and
standing in the middle of the area, poured
forth yoluble, but not incoherent, ha-
rangue, chiefly directed against insane
hospitals, which she characterized as
prison-houses of death" She INQUIRED
if the House had yet passed the bill for
rebuilding the Worcester Lunatic Hospi-

expressed much qualification, and be-
sought the members present not to vote
for It. She closed her speech with this

rose and began to speak again, violently
denouncing the Maine liquor law.
