Five of the nurses who are la attendance are all in white, and the only person connected with the apartment who Is not in white is the wet nurse.

This fortunate creature Is gorgeous In a rich edition of the costume of her native town, with an Immense crown of bright-colored ribbons on her bead and streamers of ribbon adorning her gaudy skirt and her corset waist. Corals decorate her ample throat, rings depend from her ears that tickle her shoulders, and there is a variety of silver plia In her hair that reminds one of a Dutch doll.

FOUR MONSTERS TESTED Seven-Mile Track Equipped with a Device for Registering Both Speed and Impact. Special to Tke A'ns York Times. CLAYTON. N. Nov.

13. Steam triumphed over electric power to-day, when In the great race now in progress between rival types of motive force, two mammoth locomotives pitted their strength against ponderous electric engines. One of the snorting giants rounded the sharp curve at Frankllnville at the record-breaking speed of nearly DO miles an hour, winning the contest Ith an ease that was nothing short of astonishing. The huge steam contrivances were brought here this afternoon. No.

10,001 is the smaller of the two electric wonders now at Clayton. It weighs 1M.O0O pounds and develops 1,200 horse power. In two tests to-day It made only C9 miles an hour, while steam locomotive No. 4,017. weighing 158,000 pounds, made 61 and S3 mi lee per hour in two trials.

Another powerful steam locomotive. No. 6,073. was brought to compete with Electric Engine No. 19,003, which made 85 miles an hour yesterday.

Although this is one of the beet locAraotlve In the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad, no one believed she could round the sharp curve at Frankllnville at a speed nearly as great as the electric engine, as the centre of gravity la locomotives is much higher and they are more liable to leave the track on a sharp curve than the electric engine, whose centre of gravity Is much closer to the ground. Engineer Richard Doughty was In charge of the great locomotive. Putting on a pair of automobile goggles, he mounted the cab and when the word was given the locomotive made a leap, and I In an incredibly short time only a streak of steam was visible. As the locomotive struck the Franklinvillo curve, it seemed to balance Itself on the outer wheels and sailed around like a balloon in the air. The time clock la the Frankllnville station registered 88.4 miles per hour, exceeding the best time made by either of the electric engines by nearly five mOes.

The specially constructed seven-mile trial track is equipped with a device tor recording speed as wen as for registering the Impact on the rails. A NEW-F-LYINQ WACHINE- Dr. Alexander Graham Bell Has His Kite Ready for Use. BADDECK. N.

Owing to adverse weather conditions, however, a flight was not attempted. The ship, or kite, hi Itself si section of a tetrahedron, is IS metres long on top.

10 metres along the bottom, by 3 metres deep. It la composed of 3.803 units, or small tetrahedrons, two races of which are covered with silk, this forming a two- I winged celL These cells are arranged to th.l maximum stability with the lightest weight. A hole has been cut through the centre of the contrivance to furnish accommodation for the motor and a navi gator. The ship is also provided with a bow for flying purposes. for flying purposes.

Three floats are used as a part of Its construction to support It while on the lake. A motor with four cylinders of 20 horse power will drive two solid screw propellers on the same shaft, but In opposite directions. With the motor In position the airship weighs 220 ponnds. Prof. Ben says he des not eTaim for the Signet that he has now solved the problem for which It was constructed.

He says the threshold has been merely reached future experiments. A. S. HEWITT WILL DISPUTE. Court Asked to Construe Clause Disposing of $100,000 in Bonds.

Maloney, to Inquire About the Young Woman. Special Cable to Tbs Nw To a Trues. ROME. Nov. 13.MThe excessive liberty granted to young people In America may lead to unpleasant results." This opinion was expressed by Pops Pius X- In conversation with Cardinal Vlncenso Vannuteill about the case of Mrs.

Helen Makmey Osborne, daughter of Martin Maloney of Philadelphla. Because of tho prominence of the Maloneys at the Vatican Court, there has been much interest In the details that have been printed here of the trip to Europe Miss Maloney took with Clarkson and her previous marriage to Osborne. The Pope was deeply pained when the matter came to his attention. In his anxiety to learn the truth he summoned Cardinal Vannuteill, whom) he knew to be a o)ose friend of Mr. Maloney.

He inquired for details, but tho Cardinal had heard nothing from Mr. Maloney and knew nothing outside what 4ie had seen In the press. In tho discussion that followed the Pope then made the remark quoted above about the liberty granted to the youth of America. The friendship of the Pope for the Maloney family has existed for several years. One proof of that friendship was given when the title of Papal Marquis was conferred upon Martin Maloney three years ago.

The Maloneys have been frequent visitors to the Vatican. Rarely a Summer has passed In which some member of the family was not received there. In all the years alnee Martin Maloney began to gather wealth the Church has been a recipient of part of it. When the Church of St John Lattran, favorite of Leo waa badly In need of repairs he paid the bills, although he disclaimed all credit. When France decided to banish the members of certain religious orders and the convents were closed by law, aa American, through his -agents, took title to the convents.

The sisters axe still residents therein, hut -they 4o not know whose bounty gives them shelter. It haa been reported many times that this man Is Martin Maloney. These and many other charities led the Pope to ennoble Mr. Maloney. DISAPPROVE OF MODERNISM.

I ROOSEVELT DROPPED UN GOD WE TRUST President Says Such a Motto on Coin Is Irreverence, Close -to Sacrilege. NO LAW COMMANDS ITS USE Ht Trusts Congress Will Not Direct Him to Replace the Exalted Phrase That Invited Constant Levity. WASHINGTON. Nov.

answer to one of the numerous protests which hava been received at the White House against the new gold coin which have been coined without the words In God We Trust. President Roosevvtt has written a letter, which he to-day made public The letter follows: When the Question of the new coinage came up we looked Into the law and found there was no warrant therein for putting In God We Trust en the coins. Aa the custom, although without legal warrant, had grown up, however, I might hava felt at liberty to keep the Inscription had I approved of Its being on the coinage. as I did not approve of it 1 did not direct that, It should again be put on. Of course the matter of the law Is absolutely tn the 7 hands of Congress, and any direction of Congress In the matter will be Immediate-ly obeyed.

At present as I have said, there is no warrant in law for the lnscrtp-. tton. "My own feeling In the matter Is due to my very firm conviction that to put such a motto on coins, or to use tt In any kindred manner, not only does no good, but docs positive harm, and Is In effect Irreverence, which comes dangerously close to sacrilege. A beautiful ami solemn sentence such as the one in question slfould be treated and uttered only with that fine reverence which' necessarily Implies a certain exaltation of spirit. "Any use wbieh tends to cheapen It, and, above all.

any use which tends to secure Its being treated In a spirit of levity, is from every standpoint profoundly to be regretted. It is a motto which It la, indeed, well to have Inscribed on our great National monuments, in our temples of Justice, In our legislative halls, and In buildings such as those at West Point and Annapolis in short, wherever It will tend to arouse and Inspire a lofty emotion to those who look thereon. But It seems to me eminently unwise to cheapen such a motto by use on colas, just as It would be to cheapen It by use on postage stamps or In advertisements. As regards Its use on the coinage, we have actual experience by which te go. In all my life have never heard any human being speak reverently of this motto on the coins or show any signs of lu having appealed to any high emotion in but have literally, hundreds of times, heard it need as aa occasion of and Incitement to the sneering ridicule which It Is.

above an things, undesirable that so beautiful and exalted a phrase should excite. For example, throughout the long contest extending over several decades on the free coinage question, the existenoe of this motto on the. coins waa a constant source of lest and ridicule, and thla was unavoidable. Every one must remember tlie Innumerable cartoons and articles based on phrases like 'In God we trust for the 8 In God we trust for the short weight, 'In God we trust for the 87 cents we do not and so forth and so forth. Surely.

am well within bounds when I. say that a use of the phrase which invites constant levity of this type is must undesirable. If Congress alters the law and directs me to replace on the coins the sentence In question, the direction will be Immediately put Into effort, but I very earnestly trust that the religious sentiment of tho country, the spirit of reverence In the country, will prevent any such action hetng taken. THEODORE ROOSEVELT." DENOUNCE COIN MOTTO ORDER. Episcopal Convention Votes, 131 to 8x, to Retain In Ood We Trust.

After a red-hot debate tho Episcopal Diocesan Convention, meeting in the Synod House of the Cathedral of St. John -the Divine, on Mornlngside Heights, yesterday, by a vote of 131 to 81, passed resolutions protesting against the elimination of the motto, In God We Trust," from the new ten-dollar gold pieces. The debate on the question lasted an hour and a half. 1 and for a part of that time the convention was In some disorder. The motto question came up directly after a motion by John Brooks Leavltt.

calling for the printing of certain Biblical selections to be used In church pews, had been tabled. The Rev. W. M. Grosvenor of the Church of the Incarnation offered tne following: Whereas, haa feces etaua-ed that tn tha coining of eraln ptcs of the mooer of the United States there haa hem omitted the words VMd fraa the foundatiea of tbe Republic.

J.ka BraoTaa Bhsmtesl Dtws, There waa an instant's silence and thea half a dosen men lumped up to second tho motion. Mr. Leavltt also arose and wha be could make himself heard said: I wish to move that this resoluOoa bo laid on tho table, inasmuch aa this con- -vention has seen fit to lay on the table a resolution restoring tbe Bible ta the pews. Which is the more important? This motion, was slmnfy shouted down, and then the Rev. J.

W. Boekmaster of Mount Vernon declar vi that the motto had been en the coins only sinoa tho civil war net since the founding of the Repuu- lie Dr. Grosvenor accepted the amendment, but Dr. Lorlng W. Batten and others triad to sidetrack the laeua by calling for the order of tho day, which was Bishop Greer's speech.

Gustav Carsten-sen of Klverdaie. opposing the motion, said: think this effort is a mistake and misleading in the Inference that wo ro as a cation back Into apostasy.
