REMAINS WITH MOTHER.
Judge Halls Decision in Case of Lit
tic Gertrude I'oOte.

Judge Hall Thursday afternoon in
Chittenden county court issued a modified
order as to the care and custody of
Gertrude May FOOto and also an order
for the child's support. The child in
question is the little daughter of John r.
Foote of Lowell, Mass. and Mrs. Stella
Kirby FoOte of Winuosk. The mother
gently went to Lowell and taking the
child from school there, brought her back
to Nnooski. Father and mother have
since been in contention as to whom
should have the custody of the daughter.
Mrs Foote filed a petition last October
for a divorce from her husband.
The daughter. Gertrude May, was
brought to Judge Hall and from exam
nation he found that she desired to live
with her mother. He therefore gave Mrs.
Foote the care and custody of the child
during the pcndency Of the petition or
until further order OF the court. The
mother or her family are not to, pre-
tudce the daughter against her father
or to speak i'll of him in her presence
and ho is TO have the privilege of seeing
her under reasonable circumstances He
Is also to pay Mrs FOote s. toward
clothing the child and SO per month for
her support. He Is entofned from inter
fering in any way with the care and
custody of the child by the mother.

STEAM OR ELECTRICITY.

Steam or electricity. which? This is the
| problem facing every railroad in the
| United States from the shortest branch
| line to the great trunk routes.
The problem is wholly financial. II has
been thoroughly demonstrated that there
| are no mechanical or electrical dif1lcult!cs
in the way. No one looks forward to a
sudden change hut the electrical engi-
| neers say the change will be made on al,
| tho principal lines within the next decade
Those sections Of road which carry the
| heaviest traffic and the greatest
number of trains are already
| being electrified. tunnels and
| mountain grade divisions are following
| and the extension Of this plan is newt
able All the electrical inventors arc work
ing on the problem and the managers
are hopeful for several important dis
| coveries which will work revolution in
electric traction science.
The electric LOCOMOTIVES made possible
| the large tunnel systems in New York.
Washington. Detroit. Chicago and other
large cities, by aboishing the smoke ana
| fire nuisance. IT has been demonstrated
that electricity is the very best power for
handling heavy passenger traffic and
nearly all the interurban roads about the
large cities arc now run ny electricity.
| The New York Central, New Haven &;
Hartford, the Erie and other roads have
! adopted the electric locomotive for haul
| ing their fast express trains. These and
other roads use the motor car system for
| local service. Inc fI'ctrlc roads are
reaching out into tho country about the
cities where tho clumsy steam engines dc
| not go.
| Among the best arguments for the cleo
! trio locomotive are the abOlishing Of all
smoke, cindcrs and ashes. Tho cars ART
cool, clean and can be runmore frequently
than the steam cars. Stops can be made
as almost every Convinent place. The
speed is higher and more stops can he
made without increasing the running
time. Nearly all the towns and villages
about cities are now connected by electric
lines and country people can go to the
city for n days shopping or pleasure ant
return the same day. Tho electric lines
