The drive over the second stage from
Alden Lair Lodge to North Creek was
almost without a precedent The dis
lance, sixteen miles, was made in one
hour and fOrty-twO minutes, and that,
too, in the darkness and over bad roads.
He was met at North Creek by his
secretary, Mr.. Loeb. and Mr.. 9. d.
Hammond, superintendent of the Della
ware and Hudson railroad. The first
bars of daylight We're just then appear

Mr.. Loeb held a folded paper in his

way station. From there he had to ride
thirty five miles in the dark to North
Greek, relays Of horses being used. The
remainder Of the journey was made by
rail.
The long journey began at nat rock
on the top Of Mount Marcy, and that
rock is likely to become notable. for Mr..
Roosevelt was standing ON it in the APP
preaching sunset that when the
guide from the Tahawus Club informed
him that President Mckinley had SUI
fered a dangerous relapse.
He was leaning then upon his gun,
and in his hunters garb. standing like
silhouette against the red glow of the
sunset, he might have passed for a new
Daniel Boone.
The Tahawus Club has two houses
and he did not arrive at the lower
lodge, which lies nearest the railroad,
until past midnight.
1t was absolutely necessary to take a
little rest and refreshment there and 1t

At the conclusion of Mr.. Schwabber-

weird than this.
The ride was made mostly In silence.
The vice president. who before the first
stag of his journey was completed had
become the presidnt. was thoughtful and
sumbre. He drew his coat closely around
him to shield himself from the keen air.
and he and his drivers went on, scarcely
able to see the heads of the horses and

draw them in the safe path.

The Afghan Ruler, Whose Death IL

and Interesting Career-Fought In
Many Battles and Was . Party to
Many Political Intrigues.
'Abdurrahman Khan, ameer of Az
ghanistan, whose death has Just been
reported, was one Of the most interest
ing and active of all the Asiatic rul-
ers. He was born in 1S45 and was the
eldest son Of Mahomet Afzul Khan,
who was the eldest son of Dost Ma

and legal heir of the recognized head
Of the Barukzar clan. Until he was
twenty years old he declined to learn
either to read or to write, but devoted
himself to the manufacturing Of rifed
gun barrels.
In 1864, the year following the death
of the dost, the grandson first appeared
In public. 1t was then that Afzul
Khan, who was then governor Of At

governor of Takht-i-pul, In his own

AT BREAKNECK SPEED.
Germany to Run Military Train One
Hundred and Fifty Miles an Hour.

Hundred and Fifty Miles an Hour.
Frank II. Mason. United States con-
sui at Berlin, sends the following to
the state department at Washington:
"rhe preparations for the high speed
electrical traction tests on the military
line between Berlin and Zossen are
now practically complete, and 1t is ex-
pected that the trials will begin about
the middle of September. AS the time
approaches both popular and scientific
attention becomes more closely center
ed upon these experiments. the result
of which will have such an important
meaning not only for Germany, but for
all civilized countries. and among these
probably first of all the United States.
If an electric motor car, taking its cur
rent from overhead wires and running
upon an ordinary standard gauge rail
way track, can carry with safety fifty
or sixty passengers at speed of from
80 to $50 miles an hour, then 1t is evil
dent that the first ten years Of the
twentieth century will see the means
Of travel between populous cities and
districts in America and Europe prac-
tically revolutionized.
1.-THE scene Of the experiments Is a
stretch twenty-three kilometers Q4.29
miles) in length from Marienfelde to
Zossen, on the military railway line
which runs southwark from Berlin to
the place last named. Along this line
have been set at intervals Of 100 feet
stout poles twenty feet in height, at
the top of which Is set in a vertical po-
sition and fastened by bolts a bow Or
arch Of angle iron ten feet in length,
the chord Of which supports the three
brackets fer iiA.llators from which the
three lines of conductors are hung The
conductors are ordinary copper wires
about three-eighths of an inch in thick
ness so hung that the trolley can make
full contact from beneath.
1.-THE measure Of speed to be attempt
ed is 200 to 300 kilometers 024 to 1876
miles, approximately per hour, and the
electrical apparatus must be sufficient
ly strong and heavy so that run Of
$50 kilometers Q55 miles, can be made
at extreme speed without danger Of
overheating.

THE Geo lAR0S' GAY IRE.


kota Divorce Court.
A Sioux Falls Is. d. dispatch stat
ing that Fred Gerhard Of New York
city, who took up his residence at that
place last April. has filed in the cir
cult court Of South LEkota suit for
an absolute divorce on the ground Of
desertion reviyes public interest In the
exploits Of that unique figure In New
York society.
Freddy Gerhard, says the New York
Press, has always been prominent in
club life and was we'll known in rae
ing circles a few years ago. He mar
ried the beautiful young woman whom
he has now sued for divorce several
years ago.
She was Miss Louise Morris. the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John B.
Morris of Baltimore. She is noted
beauty both in New York and in the
south. Gerhard met her while he was
travelling with Lily Langtry, the "Jer-
sey Lily"
1t was his acquaintance with Mrs.
Langtry that brought Freddy more
notoriety than his ownership of good
race horses. He was her faithful at
tendant for years. He not only gave
her horses and dogs, but presented one
of the finest ranches In California to
her. which she still owns.
He parted from her and immediate
ly began paying attention to Miss Nor
ris. 1t was. reciprocated, and their
wedding followed a couple of years
later. 1t was brilliant social affair,
and many costly presents were given
to them. Their life was always
thought to he one continual round of
bliss.
Gerhard always had plenty Of money
and was always looked on as jolly
good fellow.
Mrs. Gerhard, besides being noted
society belle and beauty, has figured In
what society termed many escapades.
Most remarkable Of these was her
wading in fountain In spirit Of fun.
She was visiting her parents In Balti-
more in the summer of 1896. She was
chaperoning party Of girl friends and
their escorts of which Harry Lehr was
a member. to the local Music hall, and
en- their return they passed fountain.
Lehr dared Mrs. Gebhard to wade in
the basin. She replied she would If he
and the other men would. They as
sured her thy would, and, much to
their surprise, she stepped into the
basin without hesitating moment and
waded around. The young fellows fol-
lowed, and the other girls followed
them.
The water was about six inches deep,
and, all wet, they returned home. and
one even caught cold as the result of
the nocturnal prank.
When Lily Langtry came to this
country, she and Gerhard became great
friends and were travelling companions
on many trips. They appeared to like
each other much. But something or
other happened. and Gebhard lost inter-
est in the famous beauty.
He was the owner Of several noted
race horses and is member of the Ma
tional Hunt and Steeplechase associa-
ton. His most famous horse was Eole.
He paid $4,000 for the thoroughbred
| FLY Experiment. After she came into
| his possession he renamed her Louise
in honor of his wife. He also owned
Volunteer II. and the famous jumper
| Olinda. Although still identified with
the turf, he has not taken prominent
part in it for the last few years.
