DR. MARY WALKER DEAD
End Comes to famous Surgeon of Civil War-had Congress sional permission to appear in Male Attire.

Watertown, N. Y., Feb. 22- Dr. Mary Walker, aged 87 years died at her home on Bun ker Hill near Oswego at eight o'clock last night after a long illness. She was a surgeon Tn the civil war and was awarded congressional medal of honor. She gained considerable fame by being the only woman al- lowed to appear in male attire by act of congress
 Dr. Mary E. Walker led picturesque career. Four years were spent on the battlefelds of the civil war. The remain der of her active life was spent in championing political suf- frage, in which movement she was pioneer. She frequently claimed to have been the first American woman to attempt to cast, a ballot in a legal election. Her livlihood was earned all these years by her private med ical practice and by writing.
 By special authorization by congress Dr. Walker adopted male attire during the civil war and for the half century since she has continued to wear it in civil life-the only woman in the country who ever had her rights in thi respect prescribed by the national legislators. She wore black frock coat, trous- CTS and a high hat and carried a cane.
 Dr. Walker was also distin- guished as the only woman in history who, when held as a. captive in war, was exchanged as prisoner of war for a man of equal rank in the army of the foe. She was also the first woman to be regularly enlisted in an army as surgeon.
