MOTHER FINDS HER WALKING WITH PLAT-MATES, BUT SENDS HER TO

A HOSPITAL.Imogene White, the pretty fourteen-year-old

daughter of William White, who lives on the fourthfloor of No. 496 Bergen-ave.. attempted to end herlife last evening by taking a quantity of carbolicacid. The attempt was made in the hallway ofthe six story flathouse, No. 819 Bast One-hundred-and-forty-seventh-st.. in the presence of two school-mates. The child was taken to the Harlem Hospi-

tal and will recover.Since school opened she has been studying hard

for her examination*. One afternoon about a weekago she took home a report from her teacher whichshowed that she was deficient. Her father scoldedher, and yesterday another report showed thai shewas still deficient. She reached home shortly be-fore 6 o'clock and gave the report to her mother.Five minutes later the child went to the hallway.

where she took the poison. There were no out-ward signs when her mother arrived that the childhad attempted to take her life, as she was withtwo other girls, but the mother telephoned for nnambulance. Dr. Mooney. who responded, said thatthe . lid had taken very little of the drug andthai she would recover.

The mother denied that she had scolded or threat-ened the child, and says she knows of no reasonwhy the child should have tried to kill herself.

NEW BUILDING OF WISCONSIN HISTORI-CAL SOCIETY DEDICATED—AD-

DRESS BY C. P. ADAMS.Madison, Wls., Oct. 19.— fine new library build-

! ing: of the State Historical Society, which has beenj under construction for the last three years, was: formally dedicated this afternoon In the presenceiof a large and distinguished assemblage.

The structure Is the most splendidly equipped

J historical library building In America. It Is builtof bun* limestone In the modernized lonic style ofarchitecture, and cost, fullyequipped, about $575,000.

Facing the lower campus of the University of Wis-consin, on a rising plot of ground 264 feet square,the new home of the society stands amid surround-ings that denote culture and Intellectual atmos-phere. The outlook from the main reading roomfrom behind a colonnade affords an attractive roof

I view of the neighborhood, with glimpses of Lakei Mendota. The adjoining streets are State, Langdon: and Park. The principal facade is on the east, fac-I ing the lower campus and the city.

Charles Francis Adams, president of the Massa-j chusetts Historical Society, delivered "greetings

from sister historical societies." He said in part:Ihold that the careful and Intelligent reading of

the historical lessons of the pant Is all important.This institution Iaccordingly regard as the mostprecious of all Wisconsin's endowments of educa-tion. Itshould be the sheet anchor by which, amidthe storms and turbulence of a tempestuous future,the Ship of State will be anchored to the firmholding ground of tradition. Itis to further thisresult that Ito-day make appeal to the historianof the future. His, in this community, is a greatand Important mission— mission which he willnot fulfilunless he to a large extent frees himselffrom the trammels of the past, and rises to anequality with the occasion. He must be a prophetand a poet, as well as an Investigator and ananalyist. He must cut loose from many of themodels and most of the precedents of the Imme-diate past and the educational precepts now socommonly in vogue. He must perplex the moderncollege professor by asserting that soundness is notalways and of necessity dull, and that even in-tellectual sobriety may be carried to an excess.Now only Is It possible for a writer to combinelearning and accuracy with vivacity: but to beread and to be popular should not. In the eyes ofthe judicious, be a species of stigma.

Historical research may on the other hand resultin a mere lumber of learning, and, even In theportrayal of the sequence of events. it is to a man'scredit that he should strive to see things from thepoint of view of an artist, rather than, lookingwith the dull eye of a mechanic, seek to measurethem with the mechanic's twelve Inch rule. Icon-fess myself weary of those reactionary Influencesamid which of late we have lived. Idistinctly lookback with regret to that more .spiritual and moreconfident time when we of the generation

\u25a0 nowpassing from the stage drew our Inspiration fromthe prophets and not from laboratories. So to-dayImake bold to maintain that the greatest benefac-tor America could have— far more Immediately in-fluential than any possible President or Senator orperipatetic political practitioner, as well as in-finitely more so in a remote future—would be somehistorical writer, occupying perhaps a chair hereat Madison, who would in speech and book explainan.l expound, as they could be explained and ex-pounded, the lessons of American history and thefundamental principles of American historicalfaith.It was Macaulay who made his boast that, disre-

garding the traditions which constituted what hecontemptuously termed "the dignity of history."he would set forth England's story in so attractivea form that his volumes should displace the lastnovel from the work table of the London societygirl. And he did it. It is but the other day thatan American naval officer suddenly appeared in thefield of historical literature, and by two volumessensibly modified the policy of nations. Here areprecepts and example. To accomplish similar re-sults should, Ihold, be the ambition of the Ameri-can historian. Popularity he should court as anecessary means to an end, and that he should at-tain popularity he must study the art of presenta-tion as much and as thoughtfully as lie delvesamid the original material of history. Becomingmore of an artist, rhetorician and philosopher thanhe now is, he must be less of a pedant and color-less Investigator. In a word, going back to Moses,Thucydides, Herodotus. Tacitus. Gibbon, Voltaire,Niebuhr, Macaulay, Carlyle. Buckle, Green, Momm-gen and Froude, he must study their systems, and,avoiding the mistakes into which they fell, thought-fully accommodating himself to the conditions ofthe present, he must prepare to fulfil the missionbefore him. He will then in time devise what Isso greatly needed for our political life, the distinct-ively American historical methods of the future.Of this we have as yet had hardly the promise, andthat only recently through the pages of Flske and jMahan, and Icannot help surmising that it Is to Isome Eastern seed planted here in the freer en- jvironment of the more fruitful West that we must Ilook for Its ultimate realization.

Governor Scofleld spoke on "The State and the jSociety." Professor Andrew C. McLaughlin made ithe closing address on "The Teaching of History."

This in the last day of registration. Reg-In-ter to-dny any time between 7 a. in. nnd j10 j.. m.

The contrast offered between American finan-cial conditions at the close of the second Cleve-land administration and at the present time is amost remarkable one. Five years ago English

financiers considered America a debtor country,

which could not get on without the aid of Euro-pean investors. The loan which was financed

at high cost in London was regarded here as adesperate device for maintaining: the Resumptionact and preventing the outflow of gold from the

United States Treasury; and when PresidentClove-land's Venezuela message startled sober-minded Englishmen there was an immediate

rush to Pell out American securities of all kinds,

and when prices went to the bottom the com-ment was heard on every side: "How can aNation which is without credit in England pre-tiiirieto flaunt the Monroe Doctrine in our facesand affront us with an Insulting menace InVenezuela!" Times have changed since theflump of the American market in December,16'jr», and the foreign loan for the prevention ofsuspension of gold payments. Itis America that

is now the creditor Nation, lending millions toRussia and Germany, taking up a large portioncf the new tenders of the Chancellor of theExchf-'iuer and supplying capital for metropoli-

tan fc'f^ctric railways.The changes wrought under the McKinley

Administration are now understood in England,

for American prosperity is again the marvel ofthe v.tjrld;but Ican remember how briskly theFree Trade orchestra tuned up during the early

period of the operation of the Dingley tariff,

and trumpeted its complete failure as a revenuefceasure. No allowance was made for the heavyImportations preceding the enactment of thatmeasure, and the fact was emphasized that the

»<:*\u25a0 duties had not at once filled the Treasury

and prevented a partial deficit. How natural*as the Knglish warning that American finan-ciers, by making duties so excessive as to ex-clude or check importations, were exhaustingU»e sources from which revenue was drawn!"Hoiv men in their senses." these censors ex-claimed, "could have imagined that IncreasedReceipts were to be produced by prohibitive andE«ni-prohibitive import duties passes compre-bensionr' The echoes of this Free Trade moral-k*sg are no -.:;» -i heard. America has con-ducted a costly war and regained her position

prestige as the most prosperous countryla the world; and one English industry after an-c*her is exposed to destructive competition fromtJ* United States, and one European nationa*ter another goes to -York and Chicagof°r relays of capital. If the second Cleveland

rendered a temporary service toFree Trade cause by taking up arms against

tte Protective system and breaking up the set-Ge<l couree of American prosperity, the groundUien lost has been regained, and American ex-*»Ple •> once more a greater force than English™*°ry in regulating the tariff practice of the»ortd.

London, October 3.The equanimity with which Londoners regard

the operations of American electric railway syn-

dicates hi easily explained. They are weary of

the sluggishness and Inertia of their own transitcorporations, and welcome an outburst of Amer-ican energy and enterprise. When they readthe announcement that in Berlin electric carshave been everywhere substituted for the horsetrams, and that a workineman can be carriedten miles by rapid transit for a little more thana penny, they are wellnlgh prepared to sur-render all the projected underground undertak-ing? in the metropolis to Mr. Yerkes and hi*American backers. They are convinced that theLondon County Council will never be able tosolve the problem of metropolitan transit on thelines of municipal ownership, and that the Eng-

lish private companies will take their own timeand exhaust the patience of the public. They

have faith in American enerpy and engineeringskill, and are not disposed to resent the invasionof the metropolis by foreign capitalists.

The two old underground companies in Lon-don, the District and the Metropolitan, did notconsider the expediency of substituting electrlotraction for steam until trolleys were trundlingeverywhere in the United States and Germany.

They began about a year ago to experiment ina leisurely way with electric motors and to cal-culate the expense of a change of traction by

which the tunnels would be cleared of smokeand the fumes of carbon and the train servicegreatly accelerated. In the course of two orthree years this Improvement will probably bebrought about, but every stage of the processwill be deliberate and sluggish. All the otherelectric enterprises are in a backward state. Itis ten years since the City and South LondonCompany opened its electric line from Stockwellto the city, and the extensions in one directionto Clapham and Brixton. and In the other toIslington, are not yet completed. The under-ground electric line from Waterloo Station tothe city has been in successful operation abouteighteen months, and the central undergroundtube, following Holborn, Oxford-st. and thenorthern line of Hyde Park to Shepherd's Bush,

has been opened for traffic about three months.Itwill be two or three years before the Water-loo and Baker-st. line, with its connections atone *nd with the Elephant and Castle, and withPaddir.gton in the north, Is finished, and Itwillbe fullyeighteen months before the Great North-ern's electric railway between Flnsbury and theCity is in workingorder. The other projects areschemes on paper with Parliamentary powersalready acquired, but without the requisite cap-ital for imparting momentum to them.

Among these projects is the five mile under-ground electric line between Hampsteed andCharing Cross, which the Yerkes combinationhas taken up and is promising to carry outwith American enterprise and skill. Another isthe Brompton and Piccadilly Line, which Is aprcjtct of the District Company, and will vir-tually be a spur of the proposed deep level ex-press line between Earl's Court and the Man-sion House. This line Is beyond the reach ofAmerican capitalists, since It will be con-structed by the District Company, if anything:

be done with it;and there are no signs that theprojectors are deeply interested In undertaking;

the work. There are, however, eight or ten otherprojects, mainly feeders for trunk lines, which

are open for American competition; and if every

tcbetne tor which legislative authority has beensecured were carried out, there would still be afresh series of metropolitan transit problems

to be solved. There is, Indeed, no other treatcentre of population where the dafly movementof traffic is so constantly obstructed and re-tarded. Millions can be expended during thenext ten years on electric lines, and practical

measures on a large scale for the relief of thesuburban districts and the congested centres oftraffic will still be requisite.

Forrest Goodwin, a prominent lawyer and Repub-lican of Skowhe ™. Me., is taking part In the

New-York c;.nvass. When seenEAGER TO yesterday at the Fifth Avenue Ho-HEAR tel Mr. Goodwin said: "I haveTHE TRUTH, never se*n such meetings as have

uniformly greeted the speakers inNew-York in this campaign. They have not onlybeen very largely attended, but the audiences havebeen invariably enthusiastic and appreciative. Thepeople follow the arguments with keen interest andintelligence, and applaud to the echo any welltaken point. This shows that the voters are tak-ing a personal Interest In the campaign, and arethemselves thinking out the right and the wrongof the various issues before them. Instead of ac-cepting at second hand the opinions of their partyleaders and favorite news-papers, as they have donearoretlmes. There can be no doubt how New-Yorkwill go. It will be overwhelmingly Republicanwhen its vote comes to be counted on November «>.All the signs point that way. Last night IspokeIn Jamaica, in a hall that would hold perhapstwelve hundred people. It was crowded to suffoca-tion. They all stayed throughout the meeting, an.lmanifested the keenest interest in th* speeches.The same thing occurred the night before at PortWashington, and. in fact, has occurred at everymeeting at which Ihave- spoken. The other speak-ers who are canvassing the State report the samething at their meetings. Ihave never seen a cam-paign where the voters seemed so alive to the exi-gencies of the occasion. It will he a politicalavalanche that will strike Bryan In November, andit willbury him and his theories for all time."

General George Manney. of Nashville. Term., wasformerly a Democrat, but In ISS4 he cast in his lot

with the Republican party. WhenA SOUTH- seen at No. 1 Madlson-ave. yes-ERNER terday General Manney said:ON THE "We have no politics In theOUTLOOK. South, as there is no question

which way the Southern States willgo. Often, in Tennessee. Ihave been asked howthis election was to go. My invariable reply hasbeen that McKinley would carry all the Stateswhere they hold a real election. Perhaps this Isa little too strong, because Ihardly expect thatwe will carry Missouri, but. as a whole, it prettynearly sums up my'opinion of the Republicanchances. Barring Missouri. Ido not know of aSouthern State that holds a fair election, that is.when the entire population is allowed to go tothe polls and vote."Itlooks to me now like a McKinleylandslide, and

the Democratic campaign shows signs of disin-tegrating. Croker went into this thing with ahurrah, and Ifor one believe that he had somereal hope that Bryan could be elected. The re-sponse to -his appeals, and under his leadership,must be extremely disappointing to him. and thenumber cf voters that he will be able to get outwill be far below his expectations. Ido not re-gard Croker as nearly as strong politically as hewas in 1592, when, in the second Harrison cam-paign, he succeeded In throwing New-York's elec-toral vote to Cleveland."It looks to me as though New-York would go

by almost any majority for McKinley. It is goingso strongly for McKinley that the number of thosewho "will vote for him will keep on Increasing fromnow to Election Day. Idon't know that it Is somuch that McKinley grows stronger from day t<»day as it Is that Bryan Is growing weaker. Hisarguments are poor, and betray the desperate con-dition of his chances. Strong as the Republicansare in New-York, from what Ihear theirstrength is not greater in the Empire State thanit Is in other sections of the Union. In the North-west, on the Pacific seaboard and In the West theRepublicans gain steadily and without let or hin-drance. The vote that the Republican ticket willsecure in the Electoral College should be verylarge."

Surrogate Thomas yesterday reserved his de-cision on an application made on behalf of Sarahand Esther W.

The con-dition was that they take up their residence in herhouse, No. 38 East Thlrd-st., sublet no part of itand keep the portraits of her husband, Richard H.,and her two sons in proper condition. Both niecestestified that they came here from Chicago soonafter their aunt's death and had lived In the Triird-et. house and complied with all the conditions ofthe will. They dusted the pictures every day.

The Misses Hart have been receiving the in-come of th»- 1200.000, but think they should pet theprincipal. Mrs. Martha Hart, a Bister-in-law of Mrs.Woods, and her daughter. Eupf-nie Guion, who areto have the residuary estate in case the Misees Hartdeclined to comply with the conditions, opposed themotion, holding that the present occupants of thehouse were not entitled to the principal, as if theyshould move before they died and did not continueto care for the pictures they would forf.i' the re-siduary estate. Then Mrs. Hart and her daughterasserted It would revert to them under similar r on-dltions.

LOSES REASON FROM OTERSTUDT.

JURY GIVES HER A VERDICT FOR $467 35AGAINST THE PLAYWRIGHT.

David Belasco, the playwright, was the defendantin a suit tried before Justice Schuchman and aJury in the City Court yesterday, in which Dr.Ar.na L.. "White, of No. 151 West Forty-sixth-st.,peeks to recover $4(57 35 for professional services ren-dered to Frederick Lyster. According to Dr. Whitethe playwright promised to foot the bill when shewa« called in to treat Mr. Lyster.

Mr. Belasco denies that he ever told Dr. Whiteor authorized anybody else to tell her that he wouldbe responsible for her bill against Mr. Lyster. Hoadmits that he offered to stand the expense for anynecessities that the sick man might require, andfurther that he offered to per.d his own physicianto consult with Dr. White over the case if necessityrequired it. Further than this the playwright de-nies any responsibility in the matter.

A number of letters exchanged between Mr. Be-lasco and Dr. White were put in evidence. In oneof these, written in September, 1808, Dr. Whitesays that she wants her bill settled. She nays thatshe doesn't care to go into the courts about thematter, but will do so unless she is paid. She saysthat an exposure of the Bclasco-Lyster-Ginty com-bination in the newspapers would makf sensationalreading:. Dr. White admitted that the letter was Inher handwriting.

"Who is Miss Ginty?" was asked.**Sh© la a very intimate friend of Mr. Belnsco.

She helped him in writinghis plays. She used tocoma to his apartment? constantly," said the wit-ness. Dr. White said that she had also attendedMr. Belasco on several occasions.

In one of the letters placed in evidence Mr.Belasco tells Dr. White that he is not responsiblefor her bill.

Mr. Belaoeo then took the stand in his own be-half. He flatly denied that he had ever told Dr.White that he would be responsible for her billaralnst Mr. Lyster.

Mr. Belasco admitted that he had called at Lys-ter's house the night he became 111. He snid hetold Dr. White he would send any necessities thatthe patient might need, and would be responsiblefor medicines. He denied that he naid hi- wouldbe responsible for her entire bill. Mr. Bolasco saidthat he also offered to eend his personal physiciandown, but Dr. White said she could handle the casehereelf.

Mr. Belasco denied that Miss Ginty was in thehabit of calling at his apnrtment? daily.

The jury returned a verdict in favor of Dr. Whitefor $467 85. the full amount sued fcr and interest. lMr. Belasco said that he would appeal from the :verdict.

DUSTED PICTURES TO EARX ESTATE.

weighting a comparatively Bmall class whichwas already heavily burdened. A penny apound on sugar would have yielded a laager rev-enue than the combined Increments of all hisfreßh taxes; but the Chancellor of the Ex-chequer declined to have recourse to Indirecttaxation or to open up any new source of rev-enue. The same limited body of taxpayers whohad borne the burdens of war preparations ona large scale durins a period of peace Is pay-Ing the cost of the campaign In South Africa,and will provide the money for garrisoning theconquered provinces for an indefinite term.The death duties created by Sir William Har-court have pieced out direct taxation, and thedeficit has been borrowed in the United King-dom and In America.

Thore are not a few Englishmen who wouldwelcome the transfer of Mr. Chamberlain fromthe Colonial Office to the Treasury. They areconvinced that the United Kingdom and theEmpire would profit by his presence In a de-partment where original genius is requiredrather than a talent for. simple sums in addi-tion in income taxes and tobacco nnd wineduties. They believe that as a great Imperialisthe would not hesitate to impose sugar dutiesfor the benefit of the East and "West Indies andas a means for retaliating against Continentalsugar bounties: that he would relieve incometaxpayers by widening the scope of indirect tax-ation for the welfare of the Empire, and thathe would bring to the problems of nationalfinance the same practical intelligence andbusinesslike shrewdness which he displayed atBirmingham as the creator of the municipalpolicies of the provincial cities. Possibly theyunderrate the resistance which he would en-counter from the great financiers of the cityand from the mercantile community; but theydo not, Iam convinced, overestimate the im-portance of the work which he would be likelyto undertake in the Treasury. Ifthat appoint-ment be one of the surprises in reserve for thepublic after the general elections— and some ofthe Cabinet rumors seem to indicate it—lt willhe a dull observer of English politics who can-not forecast what will be the issues before the icountry when the next appeal is made to the Ielectorate. ] jj_p
