Literary and Dramatic Career or a Bril-
liant Young Woman.

Literary and Dramatic Career OF a 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 voice Of silvery, reso-
nant clearness
AT 10 Miss North was a busy newspa-
per correspondent On the great city dali
lies and also a popular writer Of short
stories She held successfully editorial
positions Oh well known woman u
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 III the spring Of 1894 she
abandoned her more active work for
travel, But twas 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 a reader at Sorosis, and since
then the press has had much to say q
her talent
Miss North is the eldest of thre
children. On her fathers side she come
from an old Oxford family. Her motht

is a direct descendant of a proud old
Shropshire family, who for generations
have occupied the same roof tree, culti-
waited the same meadow lands, clung to
the prime old English virtues-hospitali-
ty and honor-won the respect and love Of
the surrounding villagers for ready in
terest and assistance i'll time Of need and
gone to their graves owing no man a
penny, but leaving something behind,
Two among the later branch were clergy
men and favorite pupils Of Spurgeon.
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 10 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 prophesy great things for
her future Her unsigned literature is
often taken for the work of a masculine
mind, yet no personality could be more
pleasingly graceful and womanly than
hers. The Philadelphia Times compares
her in an elocutionary way to Neither
sole This may be taken only i'll the
sense Of q like deiberateness il her
dramatic situations and q similarity Of
vocal expression. But Miss North 5
voice has the note of music in it. She
has a presence Of rare and prepossessing

DREAMS or DRESS.

For dress occasions the tiny toy bonnet
continues in undisturbed reign.
Mohair is one of the most fashionable
dress fabrics, if not quite the most fashion
able
White liberty satin il a Partisan fancy
for Innings for tan, gray, brown and black
coats.
The very elegant Louis coats are lined
with Persian satin or brocade, but the
cloth jackets. as rule, have plain silk or
satin Innings.
Although reduced somewhat in size, the
new round hats are nearly all picturesque
IN effect. although greatly overburdened
with trimming
Fancy braids are still fashionably used
ON many styles of dress. Galloons both
wide and narrow are made great use Of
and are I'd be found in all the dark and
some Of the neutral tones.
Among the fashionable small wraps for
spring and summer are sleeveless Eton or
jacket bodices, with cape pieces that come
from the shoulder of the jacket and fall in
rounded or pointed capes we'll over the
dress sleeve.
The blouse and the shirt waist are tri-
umphant. They are appearing almost
hourly in new bewitching forms in every
domain of fashion in the city, and word
comes from over the sea that their reign
abroad for the next two seasons is to be
universal
The preferred garnitures for summer

FAvORS FUSION
Chairman Manley of the Democratic
state executive committee has replied
to the letter of Senator Butler regarding
fusion. Senator Butler proposed that
the Populists have five electors and the
Democrats six. anu division of all
state officers. The Democrats had only
proposed fusion on the electoral ticket.
Mr.. Manley in his :eply said he regard
ed the memorandum from Senator But
Ter as private and did not submit it to his
committee. He says:
In further answer to your commune
cationy Iwould respectfully say that the
executive committee of the Democratic
party made this proposition for electoral
fusion in perfect good faith and we still
express the hope that our inability to
come to any satisfactory arrangements
to the extent and in the manner you
propose, will not be allowed to stand in
the way of some just arrangement by
which Mr.. Bryan, the nominee of the
Democratic, Populist and Silver parties.
shall receive the united support of these
organizations. Failure to have one
electoral ticket for Mr. Bryan may result
in Mr.. Mckinley's receiving the entire
electoral vote of North Carolina, al
though he receive many thousands less
of the popular vote at the polls than
may be received by Mr. Bryan. 1t may
be that the loss OF the electoral vote of
North Carolina will result in the cleo
ton of Mr.. Mckinley and the fixing of
the gold standard upon the people for
four years more. 1t was to avoid the
possibility of such q result that the
Democratic executive committee made
its proposition for July 81 for electoral
fusion, presenting it in a more definite
shape at its meeting of the 10th of Au-
gust and now again presses its accept
ance upon you. There is also a warm and
sincere desire on the part of the Demo-
cratic party that the prospect Of the
in the Chicago platform and reiterated
in the national platform of the Peoples
party in the event of the election of
Bryan shall not fail because of the want
of a majority for silver in the national
house OF representatives, ard to that
end effort on the part of all parties be-
lieving In silver should be directed to
defeat the gold standard candidates in
every congressional district in the state.
and if at any time before election in
any congressional district there should
be running for congress two silver cam
didates, the representatives of our re-
spective parties and the division of the
silver vote thus brought about would
make probable the election of a gold
standard candidate. l believe 1t would
become our duty in some honorable way
to meet the situation so as to prevent
this result"

GORMAN DECLINES
Because Chicago Is to Be Chosen for Head
quarters

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, left tonight for Washing
ton, without appointing either his exec
utive committee or the campaign COM
mittee. The conferences during the day
have been lengthy and evidently of i'm
portance. The story runs that German
had said that he would head the cam
paign committee, provided he had ex-
ecutive management of affairs. The
silver men did not believe that such
power should be given to German and
they urged the name of Governor Stone.
In addition to this there is said to be
decided friction in the committee over
the plans proposed to discipline the
gold standard state committeeman who
have not attended the meeting of the
national committee. Chairman Jones
and Senator German urge that some
radical departure, such as removal,
should be the method employed, while
others are of the opinion that radical
action of that sort would hurt the cam
didate.
At midnight it was announced that
Senator German has refused to accept
the craftsmanship of the campaign COM
mittee. The national headquarters, it
is announced, will be at Chicago. The
selection of Chicago is out of Difference
to the wishes of Mr.. Bryan, and Mr..
German declines the Craftsmanship be-
cause of the selection.
Chairman Jones, it is said on good
authority, has decided upon those who
will compose the campaign committee,
and they will probably be appointed to-
morrow. They are: John r. Mclean
of Ohio, Governor Stone of Ohio Clark
Howell. jr, of Georgia; c. A. Walsh
of Iowa, J. r. Shanklin of Indiana, j. j.
Dwyer of California, d. J. Campau of
Michigan, and j. b. Johnson of Kansas
Governor Altgeld may also be appointed
