might think glorification and abuse
would be considered by her equally val
uelcss. Man has manifestly held himself
responsible for her, and in the midst Of
his endless palaver she has gone steadily
on with her progress and now stands re-
vealed as his equal in most things, in
some things as his superior. After some
thousands of years she has fairly turned
the tables on him. She is at last sover-
eign, individually autonomous. She has
forced him to think of himself, to look
after his immediate interests, which her
great advancement has imperiled.
From this time henceforth he can take
the medicine he has 80 lavishly and per-
petually prescribed for her She is gen
erous in her triumph. Content with her
magnificent victory, she does not nag
him, criticise him, comment on him in
season and out of season, after his man
ner to her She will return good for evil.
If he cannot provide for himself, she
will see that he does not suffer. She
will not marry him perhaps; she may
do better-she may love him. If he falls
into affection, she will surely pity him,
sustain and relieve him, if possible. He
need not despair. He is safe in her
hands. He can trust her as he has ever
done, despite his denunciations, his
misogyny.
Man should have plenty of leisure
when he ceases to occupy himself with
woman mentally, morally, socially,
transcendentally, alphabetically. He
may discover new industries, make new
inventions, which he can carry ON for
awhile himself until she excels him in
his occupation, as she has so often done.
1t may be of much benefit to him to at
tend wholly to his own affairs and let
women severely alone. 1t will be to him
novelty, an unfamiliar sensation at
/ least.
| What is woman to become? No mat
ter. What is to become of man? Never
mind Are the old customs of the world,
are the habits and instincts of the sexes,
are marriage and domesticity to be swept
away? Let us wait i'll patience and see.
There is no occasion for alarm. There
never has been in cosmic consideration.
We are pompous pygmies, every one OF
us. But we are all alike in the hands OF
nature. We can trust her implicitly
indeed we must This is world of in
cessant change. Let it change as it may.
Man will always be man and woman
always woman.

LILLIAN A. NORTH.
Literary and Dramatic Career of a Bril-
liant Young Woman.
JUNIUs HENRI BROWNE.

Literary and Dramatic Career of Bril-
liant Young Woman.
The subject of this sketch, Miss Lii
liam A. North, is of English parentage,
but has shaped her career on American
soil and chiefly in Philadelphia. She is
tall and graceful, with handsome and
refined face and a voice Of silvery, reso-
nant clearness.
At 10 Miss North was busy newspa-
per correspondent on the great city dali
lies and also popular writer of short
stories. She held successfully editorial
positions on well known woman
weekly, Lippincott's Magazine and the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. But the
continual press of business and literary
work made too great inroads on her
strength, and in the spring of 1894 she
abandoned her more active work for
travel. But it was only comparative rest
that the busy young authoress now al
lowed herself, for it soon became known
that she was studying hard under two
masters of speech and dramatic art. Only
last season she was introduced to the
public as u reader at Sorosis, and since
then the press has had much to say of
her talent.
Miss North is the eldest of three
children. On her fathers side she comes
from an old Oxford family. Her mother

The two strangers who had become
acquainted with each other on an incom-

together for an hour or two fingered a
moment at the corner of State and Mad

red comforter around his neck nodded

have occupied the same roof tree, cult
waited the same meadow lands, chung to
the prime old English virtues-hospitali-
ty and honor-won the respect and love of
the surrounding villagers for ready in

gone to their graves owing no man a

Two among the later branch were clergy
men and favorite pupils of Sturgeon.
Miss North first came into print at
the age of 10 years, and, although her
literary work since that period has been
constant, it has recently been largely
confined to that great newspaper syndi-
cate, the American Press Association.
Miss North has many cultured and
intellectual friends both in the famous
and the quieter walks Of life, who all
believe and proph.sy great things for
her future. Her unsigned literature is
often taken for the work of masculine
mind, yet no personality could be more
pleasingly graceful and womanly than
hers The Philadelphia Times compares
her in an Evolutionary way to Neither
sole. This may be taken only in the
sense of a like deliberateness in her
dramatic situations and similarity of
vocal expression. But Miss North's
voice has the note of music in it. She
has presence Of rare and prepossessing
dignity. o. M. A.

AS EXPECTED.
Absconding Banker Rambusch Kills Himself
The National Cemetery at Freder-

Fredericksburg, Va, Oct. Civ. T.
Rambusch, the absconding banker from
Juneau, Wis, killed himself here last
night Rambusch got here a week ago,
and registered at the hotel as C. r. An
derson. He has been visiting the battle
fields since. He shot himself in the Ma
tional cemetery here. The body was
found in sitting posture, the hand still
grasping the pistol with which he had
shot himself in the right temple He left
a note saying he wished to die among
his comrades One hundred dollars was
found on the body.
1t was evident from papers found on
RambuschS person that he had contem-
plated suicide but was hastened In COM
mitting the deed by the appearance In
yesterday evenings papers OF cut OF
himself and a detailed account of his
crime He addressed letter to the Pres
byterian minister here asking that he
offer prayer over his grave and beg
heavens protection to his wife and
daughter. He requested that his remains
be buried here and that parties named by
him be wired to come here and identify
| his body, in order that his family would
| have no trouble in securing his insurance
| money. He claimed when he came here
| that he was in Ill health and had been or

recreation, and as he had not visited the

he did and went to his death with a de-
