MARY WALKER
 WOMAN SURGEON
 PASSES AWAY
She Was the Only Woman Allowed Male Attire by Congress, and Was a
 Noted Character.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Feb. 22 pr. Mary Walker, aged S7 years, a surgeon of the Civil War, and the only woman allowed male attire by Congress, died during the night.
 Dr. Mary E. Walker led a pie turesque career Four years were spent on the battlefields of the Civil War. The remainder of her active life was spent in fighting for the feminine dress reform and wo- mans right to political suffrage, in which movement she was plo- neer. She frequently claimed to have been the first American woman to attempt to cast a ballot in a le- gal election. Her livelihood was earned during all these years by her private medical practice and by writing.
 Dr. Walker also was distinguished as the only woman in history who, when a captive in war, was ex- changed as a 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.
 Born in Oswego, N. Y, Novem- Der 26, 1892, Miss Walker was a graduate doctor with the degree of MD. at the age of 23.
 Dr. Walker never married. Her proudest possession was the bronze medal she wore at the bosom of her frock coat. On the back was engraved this legend: Presented by Congress of the United States to Mary E. Maker, A. A. Surgeon, U. s. Army"
 She became celebrated in the United States and England as lec- turer during the half century fol- lowing the Civil War
 Do I ever have unkind things said to mel" she once said, echoing
