those whom they initiated into the mys-

was made on the sleeping places of their
victims aud the candidates captured, They

their backs. Then each man was stripped
entirely naked and marched into the street.
AT q certain point the eleven were brought
together and tied in line like chain gang.
Tney we're then solemnly walked through
the strsets, receiving chastisement from
switches which their drivers held. There
are several small streams In the neighbor-
hood Of the college and one or two pretty
bad bogs. Through these the naked boys
were urged and then they we're brought TO
the bank Of the river and walked over the
sharp stones till their feet bled, aud
through briars and unherbrush until their
bodies were lacsrated. Esen this did
not satisfy the thirst for excite

DR.. Mary Walker, the lady who has be-

inmate OF cheap lodging house IN Wash

diiion Is piiiable. Ths press associations
have briefly chronicled the fact, but the
dark side of her present condition il vet
untold. She suffered for the necessaries
OF life uItil Ler condition became known.
Charitable people hive since contributed
10 her support, aud this stlange woman,
even at her present age, and in want, Is
yet proud. and ii Is said to have been a
hard matter TO get hr TO accept
ANYTHING. IL seems that she Suffered a
serioAs II jury some months ago. one of
her limba was broken or bruised, or some
thing of that sort. She persisted in keep.
ing her trouble 10 herself, aud was her own
hysieian. The injury to her limb has
grown worse gradually, an ! II is now known
that she can never be cured. This woman's
career has been uniqae. She has been
arrested several times for masquerading
In what can be called nothing more nor
less than mans attire. She has lost
several department positions because Of
thts, and inally became aged and poor.
She has some claims before congress that
she has been looking after in late years,
bat so far has succeeded la getting
nothing. The 6rst prospect Of her
success I'm that direction rests uYon the re-
port OF tho appropriations committee OF
iha house in favor or allowing her
$4,000 on her claim Of $1,000. She
80 far forgot her womanhool few years
ago that shs exhibited herself in dime

had true friends Ia the past, bat they we're
forced to give up all efforts to reform herr
she has never been considered anything
worse than crank on dress, hui Ii has
brought heF 10 poverty Ia her last days,
There Is brighter side 10 this woman's
life, however, for she was one OF
the best field nurses In the army
during fhe rebellion. She smooshed
the pillow Of many q dying soldier
daring that period. and made their
last moments endnrable; many more re-
member her as m angel who nnFsad them
back 70 life. The army record Of DIR.
Mary Walker Is an honorable one. People
who are cognizant of II have nothing but
good words for the poor woman now. To
these il the credit due Cor what support
u given bar since her condition became
known. There IL some talk Of suauga-
rating movement 10 set q bill through
congress granting her an immediate pen
sion. If this movement weFe brought
before congress Ia sbe right way there
would ba no doubt of It's passage.
