1Iini0ns of the United States Senate
They Fail to Suppress Her Emotions.
Washington Special (May l9) to Chicago
Times.
All unhallowed attempt upon the part of
four confederate brigadiers to abridge the
rights of a citizen was set at naught this
afternoon by the cool pluck of determined
woman, who, dressed in male attire, routed
the brigadiers in the most triumphant
fashion. The heroine of this exciting at
tempt upon the part of the brigadiers by
national authorities to abridge the State
rights of DR.. Mary Walker occupied seat
in the ladies' gallery of the Senate this after
noon. DIR. Mary was attired in a full suit of
black broadcloth, cut manifestation through
out. She carried in her hand huge UNI
brella, weighing several pounds She sat
silent through the Blaine debate, for ad-
versity and the contumely of man have con-
spired to make her Bourbon. She did
not admire anything Blaine said,
but confined her sentiments to a
few indignant shifts that dis
turbed no one. But it was not until Vance,
of North Carolina, got to going that she
recognized kindred soul. Then she boiled
over with enthusiasm that her girlish nature
could not restrain. She began to pound
with her umbrella upon the floor of the gal
lery, making a rumble like falling crockery.
Anthony, who was in the chair, turned his
head at the racket and it ceased, but mo-
ment later DR.. Mary again gave way to her
emotions, and began diligent and earnest
effort to pound hole through the floor al
her feet. This last was too much. Anthony
beckoned to a messenger and sent him aloft
The messenger was gray-headed confeder
ate, who had seen years of active service
He advanced to DR.. Mary and told her thai
she would have to leave the gallery.
~ shan't do any such thing If you touch
me I'll scream and kick.''
'But you must go. Such are my orders. ,
"Get OUT you nasty thing. You touch mi
if you dare.''
This conversation created commotion
The confederate messenger, when he saw DR.
Mary's hand crooked for scratching, callet
two assistants, and then the three able bodice
confederates marched down upon DR.. Mary
One of them remembered that it had takel
five men to get DR.. Mary out of the treasury
last summer, and that three of the men wer
badly scratched and bitten. An appeal wa
made again to the doctor.
"Go away said she. ''You touch you
little finger upon my person and you will di
the death of dogs.''
The messengers fell back, consulted, an
then called in a capitol policeman
| who added his gorgeous uniform t
the demoralized group. At the sigh
T of this uniformed minion of the la
DR.. Mary shook with rage. "It will tax
about five minutes to settle your hash if 20
! come near me, Mister Man." said she; g
would just enjoy ripping that white vest {
yours into rags and scratching open your fl
cheeks. Come on, all of you, and wi
kick aud bite my way through you all.
J guess know my rights"

calculating where he should grip. Two eye

! this time the galleries we're in such a state

: capitol policeman was left to mount guar
over the doctor, and he did not leave her III
til Vance's speech was ended. Then D
Mary went out and for ten minutes blocke
up the State Hobbies by relating in vel
loud voice the indignity offered her. ST
: had crowd of 200 people about her for
? time, until she had fully vented her wrat
q and had consented to move on.
