This onso-ls an abnormal, one, for not one person in ten thousand conld act finch a part without being detected. [What conld have iudnoed this woman to'take Bach a fonrse? ' What is there in thlelile of New York that makes women wuh to be men ? Perhaps it was a dare devil spirit whioh started her on that career, and once having embarked in it., she found it awkward to retrace her steps. Her feelings must have been much like a person living in two worlds—tile world of humanity is divided into two parts, one masculine and the other feminine. Host women, having had a glimpse of the masculine world, would wish to re tire from it as qniokly as possible, bnt this one had an abnormal disposition. The causes whioh produce the inoreas ing instanoes of manishness among women might make an interesting study. In the meantime Providence continues to furnish the world with male and female inhabitants in abont eq lal nnm. bers, and when by reason of war the ranks of the males are thinned, nature by a mysterious method which nobody understands, slowly restores the equili brium of the sexes. This case and others like the pettiooat war in Kansas are enough to make the country thoughtful. Things so abnor mal indicate an unhealthy sentiment among certain olaaies of the female pop ulation. It is tote hoped that the sen timents whioh lead to inch freaks will not beooiae more prevalent.'t “ ‘ UT'* ~ NOT SO FAST ARB THB FIUPIN0S TURNIN0 TO PRO* TESTANTISM, Mrs. Nation's Work Takes Up by Olbsr Waste* Faar Saloons Wrecked la Ae- thaay Yesterday-A gotten Waada Tried ll a ad Laaded la Jail.
