STUDIES OF NEW ENGLAND.
Lecture of James Phinney Baxter Before
National Geographic Society.
Washington Post, Feb. 15.)

Washington Post, Feb. 15.)
The second lecture of the afternoon sc.
REG. under the auspices of the National
Geographic Society, was given at the CO.
lumbia Theatre yesterday by Hon. James
Pbinney Baxter. MIR. Baxter is u his
torian and geographer of high reputation,
and has devoted his studies most particu-
larly to New England. He has also been
prominent in political life, and served
several terms as Mayor of Portland, Me.
He was chosen by the committee i'll
charge as the one best fitted to treat of
New England.
| The object of these lectures is to show
the development of the influence exerted
by geographical environment upon the
character of the people inhabiting certain
sections. AT the first lecture, Prof. Gill
bert described the geographical features
of New England and their causes. At
yesterdays lecture MIR. Baxter described
the character of those conditions and
their effect upon the people who have in
habited that country.
Mr.. Baxter showed how the soil and
other geographical characteristics of New
England had prevented her people from
becoming an agricultural race, and had
made them rather a commercial and
manufacturing class. To the latter they
were impelled by the abundance of water
courses in their country which supplied
the power for factories. The lecture was
historical. and from the spinning wheel
of two hundred years ago to the thous-
ands of looms now at work the history of
the industries of New England was re-
viewed.
Last evening Mr.. Baxter was the guest
of Prof. Alexander Graham Bell at din
ner.

! laid down her book. OF course he had
come to talk to her "about that silly
young Mr.. Belknap.''
Daughter, :" said the colonel taking
a chair near hers, "you asked me a
question when we were out riding this
morning that could not answer.
81 have asked you SO many ques-
tions,' she said eagerly.
''This was about your Aunt Ellen. -
"Oh, and'-
''She is dead. Just dead"
Jessica's brow contracted in frown
of perplexity.
"Where, father, and how? Why is
she not with you here in her own home?
Everything seems to be so mysterious,
and do so hate mystery"
~"I have come to you tonight to solve
one"
s'Then you admit that there are 9TH
ers.
Colonel Bascom plunged into his story
with suspicious haste. He had rather
not attempted answering any question
Jessica might choose to put to him with
those lovely honest eyes of hers search
ing his soul.
fMy sister Ellen was the one perfect
| ly beautiful woman I ever saw, and l
worshiped her as only boy can worship
an older sister. There were no other
children, and when Ellen was sent off
to Staunton, Va, and I to Harvard to
complete our educations, the world
seemed very empty to me.
"Our mother, one of the most impe-
rious women that ever lived, having
been left a widow when we children
were quite young, had ruled us and her
estate like potentate. l was not even
permitted to return home until my
| three years course was complete. And
then it was to darkened home.
ST found my darling sister i'll, so i'll
that I was not allowed to see her. | had
been at home but a week when my
mother dispatched me to Mexico to look
after some mining interests of hers in
that section. I found the matter III
something of a tangle and remained
there for nearly year and came back to
| find that Ellen had been sent away to
be under the care Of brain specialist,
her illness, my mother told me, hav-
ing left her in very nervous condition.
returned to Mexico more through rest
less discomfort than anything else
"And then married my mammal" said
Jessica, fastening burning gaze on
him.
He halted, looked into her sweet,
pleading face and answered steadily:
'And then married your mother But
tonight am telling you about Ellen.
never saw her but once after we parted
to go to school. I knew that my friend
DR.. Hillary Northcote had entire charge
Of her. I went once to his home to see
my sister, I was informed by Northcote
that she refused to see me. 1 came away
baff1ed and wretched. I never made a
second attempt.
ga few days before you reached home
Northcote reported to me that she had
disappeared from his house. We searched
the entire country separately and to-
gether. Our search was ended by note,
received by him through the mail, tell
ing him she was with friend and
would return in few days. Yesterday
her bonnet and parasol were found on
the edge Of pond on plantation adj
joining the Northcotes' home. ~.
"There is no reasonable room to doubt
that my beautiful sister Ellen has ended
her own life.''
And then that happened which eye OF
man had never seen-Merriman Bascom
bowed his head and wept.
