Minions Of the United States Senate
They Fait to Suppress Her Emotions.
Washington Special (May 19) to Chicago
Times.
ALI unhaflowed attempt upon the part of
four confederate brigadiers to abridge the
rights of 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 a seat
in the ladies' gallery of the Senate this after
noon. DR.. Mary was attired in a full suit Of
black broadcloth, cut man-fashion through
out. She carried in her hand huge UNI
brella, weighing several pounds. She sat
silent through the Blaine debate, for adj
vergity 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 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 at
her feet. This last was too much. Anthony
beckoned to 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 that
she would have to leave the gallery.
81 shan't do any such thing. If you touch
me I'll scream and kicks
'sBut you must go. Such are my ORDERS -
sect out, you nasty thing. You touch me
if you dare"
This conversation created commotion,
The confederate messenger, when he saw Dr.
Mary's hand crooked for scratching, called
two assistants, and then the three able-bodied
confederates marched down upon DR.. Mary
One of them remembered that it had taken
five men to get Dr. Mary out of the treasury
last summer, and that three of the men were
badly scratched and bitten. An appeal was
made again to the doctor.
$50 away said she, "You touch your
little finger upon my person and you will die
the death of dogs.'
The messengers fell back, consulted, and
then called in a capitol policeman
who added his gorgeous uniform te
the demoralized group. At the sight
of this uniformed minion of the Law
DR.. Mary shook with rage. ut will TAKE
, about five minutes to settle your hash if you
come near me, Mister Man." said she; 81
would just enjoy ripping that white vest o.
yours into rags and scratching open your fa
!, cheeks. Come on, all of you, and vii
kick and bite my way through you all.
guess | know my rights"
The men closed about her, each mentally
, calculating where he should grip. Two eyed
her chaste ankles and two sought to encom
pass her shrinking waist, but glance from
the doctors eyes made them all recoil. Al
this time the galleries were in such state o.
. amusement that the officers we're very much
embarrassed. Finally matters were com
promised by Bourbon break down. Th,
! capitol policeman was left to mount guart
over the doctor, and he did not leave her IN
til Vance's speech was ended. Then DR.
Mary went out and for ten minutes blocked
up the State Hobbies by relating in yer,
loud voice the indignity offered her. Sh'
had crowd of 200 people about her for
time, until she hsd fully vented her wrati
! and had consented to move on.
