MRS. BONES IN WAR PAINT.
She Calls Miss Anthony a Trickster and
is Coming to Washington.

Mrs. Marietta NJ. Bones Of South Dakota an
erratic and eccentric but well-known worker
of the Womans Christian Temperance union,
and for ten years vice president of the National
woman's suffrage association, was at the Palmer
house in Chicago yesterday on her way to the
woman's suffrage convention in session here
Mrs. Bones has been informed that Miss An
thony is about to merge the national associa-
ton into another organization without confer
ring with the vice presidents. As soon as Mrs.
Bones heard of this movement she picked I'D
her buds and started for the battlefield.
''Susan B. Anthony is trying to emulate
Frances Willard" Mrs. Bones said "If am
not mistaken the brainy women Of our party
will rally around me, and We will show Miss An
thony what we folks from Dakota are made of.
Then there are other things against Miss An
thony. She issued an appeal TO the people of
South Dakota for funds. Every time think of
that / almost forget that l am lady, and I
want to cali Susan b. a trickster. There have
said it and that's just what she is. So, now"
Mrs. Bones was SO afraid she would miss the
first train to Washington that she held her
watch in one hand and a time table in the
other.
Mrs. Bones is somewhat famous as the author
OF the Sioux uprising on the Sisseton reserva-
ton in 1882 Two squaws and a half breed
walked past her house one day and she thought
they wanted TO massacre herself and baby, and
raised great commotion that did not stop until
President Arthur, the War and Interior depart
ments were considerably aroused. Her husband
was formerly Treasury clerk, and she lived
several years in Washington while her father,
Judge Kidder, was a delegate in Congress.

He Stopped the Herdic.

The passengers on a herdic. which left the
stables and moved westward at about s
o'clock yesterday afternoon, had quite an
exciting time. When the vehicle reached
the foot of the Capitol grounds the
driver demanded more fares than he
had received and, finding that his appeal
for additional contributions fell on deaf cara
he determined TO test the patience Of the
alleged evaders by coming TO a full stop. The
prolonged halt failed to make anyone disgorgs,
although it was intensely uncomfortable in the
very much overcrowded box Then the driver
adopted more emphatic means and started TO
unhitch his horses He did not complete the
operation, however, but decided TO 60 ahead
without further delay. The passengers were
unanimously of the opinion that the drivers
judgment was at fault The incident caused .
delay of about fifteen minutes and was re-
sponsible for not little profanity.
