DIR. MARY WALKER.
Ingenious Plan Adopted by House Employees
in Dealing with Her.

ingenious ran Adopted Dy HOUSE EmpiOyes
in Dealing with Her.
Washington Special
When the House isn't in session ladies at the
Capitol like to wander in and try the members
arm chairs. They sit down, wheel on the pivots,
and get up. They look toward the Speakers
desk, and then let their vision sweep round the
great amphitheater as if imagining how it must
feel to be a congressman and make speech.
There were several well-dressed women engaged
in this pastime, when DR.. Mary Walker, silk hat,
frock coat, boots etc, stepped in from the lobby,
walked launtily to a desk, and, putting down her
tile. commenced to draw off her kidgloves.
What her errand was will never be known,
for an attache of the House stepped up to one
of the visitors, and, with jerk of the head and
the elbow, said in an undertone, There's DIR.
Mary Walker"
Where, where?" was eagerly calculated, and
within thirty seconds every woman in petticoats
had her eyes focused on the woman in trousers.
That wasn't the worst of;it The door-keeper's
staff never like to NEEDLE with DR.. Mary. On
one occasion, so they say, she became somewhat
demonstrative in the gallery, and when deputy
door-keeper went up TO quiet her she drew
knife on him. Seemingly the staff understand
better now how to deal with her.
These visiting women hadn't looked long be-
fore they felt that curiosity required nearer
inspection. They began to close in on the carl
GUS oDlecU walking Slowly toward hef as IL EaS-
cinated, but with mingled looks of amusement
and contempt. The Doctor stood it until they
were within ten feet of her, and still staring.
Then she grabbed up her hat and drawing out q
large cambria handkerchief, held it to her nose
with an expression of disgust and started for the
door. The ether women actually followed her
until she passed out, made two or three tours of
the halls and shook them off, while the wicked
attaches of the House winked at each other and
congratulated themselves on the working of the
new plan of getting rid of DR.. Mary. 1t takes a
woman to deal with her sex.

slayer said to the Journal correspondent tonight
that in all probability he would succeed in hav
ing the House go into committee of the whole
again on Saturday for consideration of bills for
public buildings He thought all measures on
that subject could be considered in one day. The
action of Mr.. Randall, in flibustering, this af-
ternoon, to defeat consideration of those bills
Mr.. Stockslager considered unfair and he added
that the charge that there is combination on
public buildings is untrue; that, since these bills,
are not grouped, and one is in no way dependent
upon the fate of another, there could be nothing
like combination, such as is made ON the river
and harbor bill. where everything is put to-
gether.
