ELECTRICITY OUTDOES STEAM IN LOCOMOTIVE TUG OF WAR The latest words in electric and steam railway locomotives in a test of power. Electricity won a decisive victory over steam as a means of transportation in a demonstration held at Erie, Pa., by the builders of the most powerful electric locomotive so far constructed. The engine was matched with a steam locomotive of the same weight in a tug of war. Power was applied to both at exactly the same time. The electric engine slowly but surely pulled its straining, groaning opponent backward. The electric locomotive was built for the Mexican Railway. WHERE G. O. P.

LOCK, SUIT NEW YORK, Dec. 17.--When the will of Louis T. Lehmeyer, 92, and a charity patient, was filed here recently a bequest of $150,000 was made to Miss Elizabeth Rosalie Wurthmann, attractive young school teacher—and thereby hangs a tale of a blasted romance three-quarters of a century old. Seventy-five years ago in Mainz, Germany, two young men were deeply devoted to a very lovely girl. They were boon companions, and because it was inevitable that one must lose should the other win, their friendship was unstrained when Lehmeyer was best man, and he wished them godsped on their matrimonial voyage. Lehmeyer's friend and his wife emigrated to America. A year later Lehmeyer came also. His friend had settled in New Jersey. Louis Lehmeyer chose Manhattan. As the years passed Lehmeyer acquired one parcel of property after another. He built teements and apartment houses. He was known as the man who always had money. On late Summer afternoons of recent years Lehmeyer would gift in the garden of the home where dwelt the daughter of the woman he had loved in his youth. Elizabeth Rosalie, the granddaughter of her whose image was graved on his heart, would knit in the shadow of the vines. Lehmeyer, with a shawl thrown around his shoulders, turned his thoughts to the Mainz of yesteryear and murmured: "My dear, I wish you could have seen your grandmother in her youth. Ah! but she was one of God's noblewomen." The simple and girlish frock shown at the left has biscuit colored background embroidery of gay blue, green and yellow.
