cnade on Broadway i'll her wonted male attire there
is usually sensation. Yesterday there was no ex-
ception to the rule when she appeared in black pana
looms vest and felt hat The passers-by stopped
and all to watch her, and such as had nothing 10
occupy them fell into line behind and followed
her through the street. This array of sight
scers, recruited from every corner, gradually
swclicd in numbers and enthusiasm till they
throngcd the sidewalk and filed the air with chorus
OF jecrs. Near GInd street Roundsman Lester
Lewis, of the Broadway squad, saw the commoton
and marked out the doctors eccentric figure as the
cause OF it. To Patrolman Flanncry he assigned the
delicate task of arresting DR.. Mary Walker pub
lie nuisance and IA collector of noisy throngs. SO
to the Central Office she was escorted, and
there Superintendent Walng appraised OF the
cause OF her appearance He inquired of the officer
il her actions disordery. but that the
people was at loss for anything in her conduct tina:
savored of breach of the peace. Her wearing of
male of the species arrays himsef--was al the
formally discharged. Her first act then was to ap-
peal to the superintendent for protection against
further moesation at the hands OF the police. She
citizen, she said, and Ind served as u United
States Army surgeon during the war; the least she
could ask was the right OF passing through the street
without annoyance at the hands of officials. The ag-
greyed lady then evinced the warmth OF her ndign-
ton by making complaints against ltoundsnan Lewis
and Officer FlaEnery.
