New York, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Carrie Ma

the great gathering on the evils of
overdress, attempted to break bottle
of champagne and finally was elected
from the building by the police.
Mrs. Nation entered the garden quiz
city and took a seat in the tier. She
had been there only a few minutes
when her gaze rested on the box where
some members of the Vanderbilt fam
lily We're sitting. She studied her pro-
gram, and then descended to the prom
enade. Stationing herself in front of
the Vanderbilt box she delivered a
TRADE on overdress. In the box We're
seated Mrs. Alfred G.. Vanderbilt Regi-
Maid Vanderbilt and Miss Nicholson.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt was leaning
against the rail of the prominade, and
old rot see Mrs. Nation approach.
you ought to be ashamed of your
Selves" the woman screamed at them.
"You ought to be ashamed to wear such
disgraceful clothes. Take them off, take
them off at once and attire yourselves
more modestly."
Alfred G.. Vanderbilt hastily left his
position at the rail and came over to
where Mrs. Nation was standing and
wiping her forehead with a handker-
chief. He whispered something in her
ear and pushed her away.
The outburst of the woman attracted
great crowd of people, and the occu-
pants Of the Vanderbilt box were evil
IDENTIFY very much embarrassed.
Mrs. Nation then turned her attention
to other boxes. Finally she started FOR
the cafe, where she bore down on a
rarty of men who We're drinking wine.
Mrs. Nation seized the bottle, and, giar-
ing at the men. shouted: Young men,
don't drink such filthy stuff! You are
going straight to hell. Where is the man
who sells this stuff? Show him to me
and / will tell him what l think OF
him"
Mrs. Nations request was speedily
granted by the sudden appearance OF
M. Vile Pique, the caterer at the gar
den. :.
Get out of this horrible business,
she shouted at him, you are also going
to hell and running the bodies and souls
of men! You are dragging them down
with you. Shame on you, shame on
you!"
The Frenchman, however, ran TO Mrs.
Nation and rescued the bottle winch
she repeatedly brandished in the air
to emphasize her remarks. Then he
pushed her out of the door. Here the
police took hold of the Kansas refor-
mer and forced her out of the build
ing.
