In stubbornly contested game the
Morristown A. A. defeated Wharton
on Cutters field Saturday afternoon
by the score of to O. Had there
been less talking and more football
the match would have probably been
more interesting to the several hun

them four downs, when the Interool-
legiate rules state but three, as every
follower of the game knows and also
to allow their quarter back to ad-
vance the oval. Foote made the
locals touchdown in the first half by
consistent line bucking. An attempt
to kick the goal by Howell was
missed by wide margin. Line up:

UNANIMOUSLY, upon the last Thursday
in April, but decided that no particu-

authorized TO appoint an executive

GIFT FROM FRANCE.
Portrait of Mrs. Roosevelt to Be
Hung in White House.
Ambassador Cambon, on Behalf of
the French Government. VIII Pre-
sent work Of VI. Cbartran to
United States Government.

NJ. Cambon. the French ambassador,
on behalf Of the French government,
viii present to the United States the
Chartran portrait Of Mrs. Roosevelt,
to be hung in the white house with the
portraits Of former presidents and
their wives. M. Chartran's portrait Of
Miss Roosevelt, which was also or
dered by the French government, has
been presented to the family Of the
president.
Both pictures are now at the French
embassy and packed ready for ship
ping to Europe, and will reach Paris
in time for the summer Salon. After
that is over they will be returned to
America and formally presented to
their respective recipients. The por-
trait of the president by NJ. Makovsky
is still at the white house, having been
painted with the object of presenting
it to this government, but so far no
definite presentation has been made
1t was rumored at the time of the
reception to NJ. Chartran at the French
embassy, when the pictures were for
the first time shown to the public, that
they were to be bought either by Sem
ator Lodge or j. Pierpont Morgan,
that of Mrs. Roosevelt to be presented
to the white house and that Of Miss
Roosevelt to her family. Not until
the other day, when it was announced
at the embassy, was it known that
the French government had given the
order for the portraits, Apparently
there is a pretty little diplomatic cpl
sode behind these portraits. Germany
sent over Prince Henry, England ex-
pected to entertain Miss Roosevelt,
and SO, to take hand in this game of
showing attention to Uncle Sam,
France ordered these pictures as a
present to the American people.
When Russia sends an ermine rug or
portiere of sables for the white
house the great powers will be on an
Nqual footing once more.

PRIZES FOR ALCOHOL MOTORS.
Germany Invites Competition for
Construction of Vehicles for
Use by the Army

In the issue of the Berlin Reichsan-
zeiger the ministries of war and ag-
riculture publish an offer for first.
second and third prizes of 10 900 marks.
5000 marks and 2 800 marks respective
ly, for the best alcohol motors for mil
itary usages. These motors must be
made in Germany. They are to weigh
less than eight tons and must be ca
pablo of drawing tons on good roads.
The motor of itself must be able to
cross meadows, plowed lands and wa
ter 1Sinches deep. The tires NAV be
20inches wide. According to the terms
of the offer, these machines must be
ready to be tested by February, 1903.
The above offer is the result of the
initiative Of Emperor William. who has
long been interested in alcohol motors
and engines. Tie is convinced of the
possible economical use of such mo-
tors for the transportation of mill
tary supplies and the moving of artil-
lery
German farmers are interested in the
idea because alcohol is made from po-
tatoes.

be placed in some important foreign
mission, rather than in the navy de-
partment, but he preferred to stay
at home.
The biographical notice of the new
secretary, contained in the Congress
sional Record, is very meager, show
ing his political career in it's barest
outlines. But it appears that he is a
man of affairs, and it is particularly
gratifying for people interested in
the navy to know that he brings to
his new post mind of experience in
governmental affairs, acquired
through his work for several years
on the appropriations committee of
the house. Mr.. Moody is a compare
lively young man, being in his forty
ninth year. He is a lawyer by pro-
fession, being a graduate of Phillips
academy, Andoyer, Mass, and Har-
ward university. He has been district
attorney for the eastern district of
Massachusetts ana has served in the
Fifty-fourth. Fifty-ffth, Fifty-sixth
and Fifty-seventh congresses, being
elected as a republican. He was born
in Newbury. Conn, but now resides
at 1nverhill, Mass.
u. Moody is on the District of CO.
lumbia committee of the house APP
preparations committee, and is in
that capacity well known and liked
in Washington.
( statement has been published in
effect that Representative Moody,
nominated to be secretary of the
navy, is relative of Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts. The fact is that
Representative Moody is not in the
remotest way connected with Senator
Lodge by either marriage or blood
The two have been friends for very
many years, both being graduates of
Harvard university, where they were
well acquainted as students.
