Carrie Nation Arrested.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation was arrested here tonight and put
up $40 collateral for her appearance in the
Police Court tomorrow morning.
Tonight about o'clock Mrs. Nation,
who has been in Washington for several
months delivering temperance lectures, in
vaded the border of the ''red light dis
trict, stopping in front of saloon near
Twelfth and ID streets, just hundred feet
Or so east Of the city postoffice. She
mounted the steps of the saloon, and her
shrill voice, sounding out imprecations
against the liquor traffic, soon gathered a
crowd which filled the street.
The first Precinct Station house is but
half block away, and the sound of her
voice reached there along with the ap-
plause which her impassioned remarks oc-
casioned. Precinct Detective Vermillion
ran to the corner and recognized Mrs. Ma
! ton. He ordered her to move on, and she
refused. He then placed her under arrest,
and it looked for awhile as if the detective
would have to use violent means to get the
old lady to the station, as she pulled back
and protested vigorously that she would not
be arrested However, she finally went
along with the officer, and put up $50 for
her appearance tomorrow.
