New York, Feb. 2.-William Collins
Whitney, former Secretary Of the
Navy, died few minutes after 4
o'clock this afternoon at his home,
871 5th avenue. He died while under
the influence Of either administered
preparatory to second operation for
appendicitis. By his bedside were his
son, Harry Payne Whitney, and his
daughter, Dorothy Whitney, as well
as Dr.. William T. Bull, the chief sur
geon in attendance.
Mr.. Whitney was in his "a year.
He was taken i'll on Friday night at
the performance of "Rigoletto,'' at
the Metropolitan Opera House, and
had to leave before the opera ended.
DR.. Walter B. James, the Whitney
family physician, was summoned and
found that the condition of the patient
was such that after consultation, an
operation was decided upon and was
performed by DR.. Bull The patient

HISTORY OF THE COACH.
The First OF These Vehicles Was
Built In 140T.

The First OF These Vehicles Was
Built In 1857.
AS popular as coaching is in some
parts Of the country, but little reliable
information has ever appeared in the
public press respecting its history and
development. At the town Of kotze, in
Hungary, in 1857. the first coach was
constructed. This was soon afterward
presented TO Charles VII. at Paris. The
first authentic record Of stagecoach
in England shows that six Of such
vehicles were in use there in 1862. So
popular did they become in that coun-
try that few years later they We're in
general use on all the principal roads
of the kingdom.
Steam railways have to a large ex-
tent done away with the use OF the
coach as link in the commercial chain.
but as q means Of furnishing the high
est type Of recreation the coach and
four is as popular today in the British
empire and in France as it was when
this was practically the only means Of
locomotion in those countries.
Stagecoachfng in America was al
most coeXtensiye with the settlement
of the colonies, and in the early history
Of the country there were few if any
places OF any Importance that did not
welcome the sound Of the coachman's
horn as one Of the fascinating incidents
Of pioneer life As civilization pushed
itself westward the stagecoach was
ever in the lead Of those agencies which
blazed it's pathway. These vehicles, as
we'll as their equipments, were COM
paratiyely crude in their construction
and unpretentious in their appoint
ments.. but they admirably served the
purpose for which they were intended
and laid the foundation for the popu
larity of coaching rs pleasurable pas
time developed in later years.
Coaching parties had been popular in
England and France fer several gener-
ations before they were introduced in
this country, yet the sport is so whole
some and enjoyable that it cannot be
doubted that in time it will become as
popular here as it is across the Allan
dc.-Illustrated Sporting News.

WASTED INDUSTRY.
A Mouse Task That Failed Because
of 9 Lack OF Ingenuity.

a number Of white footed mice
which I had in captivity, says a writer
in Country Life In America, ESCAPED
from their cage to a cupboard in the
kitchen, and thence through hole in
the plaster and between the laths to the
walls Of the house. Every night they
came out fer food. One evening saw
mouse come out of the cupboard.
He found hickory nut on the floor
and attempted to carry it up the wall
twelve inches to the hole in the plaster,
but, alas, the crack between the laths
was too marrow, and after fumbling
with his burden for a minute OR two
he dropped it to the floor. Next he
tried to push it in ahead Of him, and,
failing in that, he went in himself,
turned round and attempted to pull it
in after him. Occasionally it would
slip out Of his paws and roll upon the
kitchen floor, and then gut he would
some and repeat the whole perform
auce. He tried it again and again, but
with no better success. He kept at it
until far into the night, and when l
awoke at { o'clock the next morning
the first thing that I heard was that
mouse or another one fumbling and
dropping the hickory nut.
Since then I have kept them well
supplied with nuts, and, although they
still spend hours in carrying them to
the crack in the laths and letting them
fall, they are always forced in the end
TO eat them in the cupboard. There is
plainly lack Of ingenuity, because ten
minutes gnawing would have solved
the problem. Had the aperture in
either case been too narrow to admit
themselves they would have quickly
widened it with their teeth, but to ap-
ply the same principle to get the nut
through seemed to be piece of rea-
soning entirely beyond them.

THEY LOVED CHILDREN.
Great Writer'S Who Won the Hearts
OF the Youngsters.

Great Writer'S Who Won the Hearts
OF the Youngsters.
1t is one of the most kyable traits
in many Of our greatest men that they
are as skillful in winning the hearts Of
little children as in captivating the
minds of their parents.
Was there ever great man who did
not love children? If there was, and
we have never heard or read OF him, his
greatness was by so much the less.
Even Sam Johnson relaxed his grim
ness into smiles of pleasure when Bos-
wells baby daughter held out her arms
to him and pulled his hair when he
was not sufficiently attentive to her.
Byron, whose own child life had been
so saddened and imbittered by love-
less mother, worshiped his little daugh-
ter Ada with all his passionate soul.
and history has no sweeter picture than
that Of Southey singing his child to
sleep as he paced the floor with his Cit
tie burden Of love- in his arms.
Lambs great heart had many warm
corner for his child friends-all the
heart, in fact, that his sister Mary did
not fill-and when he took his daily
walk through Edmonton it was the Sig
nal for all the little children to. flock to
him for kiss, a kind word, or, better
than all, to take his hands or coat tails
and accompany him on his rambles.
It is little wonder that Charles Dick
ems, "the great hearted one,'' was idol
lied by the little ones; for there never
was a more entertaining companion or
one who could better make himself q
child again for their delight. There
are many staid men and women of to-
day who recall with pleasure and re-
gret the romps they used to have with

grave, however, on Sunday and Mon
day, and at consultation held this
afternoon, the conclusion was reached
that the only hope for the patient lay
in a second operation.
Mr.. Whitney was placed under the
influence of ether, but whether the
operation was proceeded with or not
is unknown.
When the physicians perceived that
the patient was in danger of death.
Harry Payne Whitney and Miss
Dorothy Whitney were Immediately
notified. They hastened to the side
of their father and in few minutes
he had breathed his last. Oxygen was
used and ali the skill of the physicians
and surgeons brought into play to saye
the life of the distinguished patient,
but to no avail:
It was o'clock before the simple
fact of his death was made public.
Later the following statement was
made:
"Mr. Whitney died at 4 O'Clock OF
peritonitis and blood poisoning follow
ing an operation for appendicitis.
"The interment will be at Wood
lawn at date to be hereafter fixed, in
the family plot, where are the remains
of Mrs. Flora Payne Whitney, Olive
Whitney and Mr.. Whitney's grand
child, Flora Payne Paget
"The funeral services will be held
at Grace Church, where Mr.. Whitney
was a pew -holder.''
