DR.. Mary Walkers Case.
DIR. Mary Walker is still hunting an Office.
Her classic Bloomer costume is no unfamiliar sight
at Washington, and the officials in that city are
getting tired of looking at it. 1t has been pro.
posed there to give her an appointment in Alaska,
and, it is said, prominent members of the Women s
Rights League are in favor of this proposition.
They think it important for the success of their
cause that DR.. Mary should be sent as far away as

road at $22 or II per cent discount, its par value
being 1925. By this arrangement, which is likely
to be effected, one share of the c. & A. R. R. will
be worth four and half shares of the Columbia
l. Augusta Railroad.
