GIBSON GIRL WEDDED.
MRS. NANNIE SHAW, SISTER-IN-
LAW OF ARTIST, BRIDE OF
WALDORF ASTOR.
)ne of the Five Virginia Beauties.-A
Daring Horse Woman and Fond oi
Exercise.-Five Million Dollar Eng»
■ ish Estate a Wedding Present.
A “Gibson Girl” is the talk of all
England, for she has married a young
man of that country who Is heir to an
estate of more than 3400,006,000.
The bride is none other than Mrs.
Waldorf Astor, and a sister-in-law of
Charles Dana Gibson, the celebrated
American artist.
Mrs. Astor is one of five sisters, all
natives of Virginia and belonging to
a family numbered among the F.F.V’s.,
standing high in the aristocracy of the
South. She was a Miss Nannie Lang
horne and later the wife of Bobby
Shaw, from whom she was divorced.
All of the Langhorne sisters are re
markable beauties, paying particular
attention to every detail of face and
figure. A Virginia lady who knew
them in their girlhood days stated that
their rules of living were something
like this: “Breakfast early and exercise
briskly for an hour or two. Have a
luncheon and exercise again, this time
riding. Luncheon again and then a
long, vigorous tramp or a cross country
ride to hounds, just for the pleasure
of It, then a hearty supper, then a long
walk in the southern twilight, and then
bed.”
SPLENDID WOMAN RIDER.
With a strong horse beneath her, and
the pack in full cry, to see Nannie
Langhorne riding to hounds was a
sight for men and gods. In the days
of her girlhood, at the Deep Run, in
Virginia, she was Diana stirruped, and
it is no stretching of facts when
one avows that men came from far
afield just to see her, with her pink
cheeks aglow and her fair hair loos
ened to the breeze, pound the sod in
a madcap abandon for tbe brush.
Nothing daunted this young Virginian
in the way of ditch or fence, hill or
hollow, and at 16 she was famed as
the most Intrepid and brilliant horse
woman in her native State.
Two things won for Mrs. Langhorne
Shaw the heir of William Waldorf
Astor: the beauty of her being, when
on horseback, and her bubbling ir
repressible Americanism. Young As

Charles the Bold, the Duke of Bur
gundy, and fetched 3100,000 at the sale
of the Demidoff collection in 1865.
It was secured by Mr. Astor some
years ago from a millionaire parsee,
Sir C. Jeejeebhay, for 3170,000. Mr.
Astor also gave one of the finest tiaras
in London, (which cost more than
3100,000), as well as the title deeds to
Cliveden mansion and estates, with
the many treasures he has added
thereto, Including a magnificent suite
of old Chipperne furniture, and some
wonderful French china, originally
from Versailles, and once the property
of Empress Eugenie. The value of
this latter gift probably, exceeds 35,-

OFFENDED THE POPULACE.
After acquiring It, Astor had an
opportunity to show himself more ex
clusive than the Duke of Westminster.
That potentate and all previous owners
of the estate had allowed tbe common
Rear Admiral "Fighting Bob” Evans
were found to be in the way. Dls-
patches from the metropolis say that
the supervisor of the harbor of New
York called on Admiral Evans and
served a formal notice on him that
the ships were taking up too much
room in the river, and were seriously
interfering with navigation. While It
was admitted on the United States
vessels that they were well out in the
usual channel taken by steamers, they
could not anchor further inshore on
account of the shallowness of the
water.
There Is probably no place In the
world where the great white and buff
ships of the American navy show off
to better advantage than in the North
River. The dozen warriors strung a-
long at anchor at intervals of aliout
400 yards stretching from the foot of
Riverside Drive at 72nd Street to
Grant’s Tomb at 125th Street and ’ -
yond. When Prince Louis of Batten
burg had his British armored flyers In
the New York port they were given
Is-rths In the North River and only a
few weeks ago the Paul Jones 1 reach
fleet was in the stream. The New
York people could not be inhospitable
to these fleets on account of the inter
national aspects of things, but when
the American ships arrived, waiting
their turn to go to tbe repair docks,
they were ordered to move away and
give the tug boats and scows engaged
in the Hudson River trade a chance to
pass.

the Standard Oil Company had been

New York City through it every day
for years. When the Illinois fouled the
pipe line the officers on l»oard the ship
could not imagine what the anchor

the river became a shining mass,
bright with the hues of petroleum.

Each Machine Runs Independently by
Its Own Motor.
The craze of autoists to build pal
ace touring cars for pleasure trips
has caused railroad corporations to
dabble in the novelty of motor vehicle
transportation. Some of the unique
cars that patents have Iteen applied for
are certainly freak products.
A car that resembles a huge steel
battering ram has been completed at
the shops of the Union Pacific rail
road, at Omaha, Neb. It is a big
steel structure especially designed
for climbing grades and run by Its
own gasolene motor, over standard
gauge rails. On its trial trip it de
veloped a speed of forty miles an hour,
climbing, it Is said, a grade of 20 per
cent
RACED TnE STEAM CARS.
It was given its first long-distance
trial on April 14th, when it left Omaha
as the second section of train No. 1,
known as the Overland Limited.
The motor car gained on N'o. 1 to such
extent that at Fremont, 46 miles from
Omaha, the motor car was held on the
block six minutes.
Owing to a
heavy wind and meeting trains from
this time on, No. l’s schedule was not
maintained; however, tbe total time
of the motor car from Omaha to
Grand Island, 153.6 miles, was 5
hours and 12 minutes, with delays
amounting tc 40 minutes on account
of orders, meeting trains, etc. The
actual running time for the 153.6
miles was 4 hours 32 minutes, or 34
miles per hour. There was no delay
whatever on account of the motor car,
and the machinery was in almost con
stant motion from Omaha to Grand
Island. On the return trip April 15
the actual running time whs 4 hours
10 minutes, or 86.3 miles per hour.
From Elkhorn to South Omaha, a
distance of 24.3 miles was covered In
36 minutes, or 42 miles per hour,
A maximum speed of 53 miles per
hour was attained on this trip.
Railroad officials witnessing the
machine’s trial trip expressed much
gratification. Some of the officials
go even so far as to predict that the
gasolene motor will ultimately revo-
lutlonlze interurban rallroad trans-
piortatlon.
SCHEME OF VENTILATION.
This machine has several new ar
rangements, the most conspicuous of
which is the ventilation of the cars.
The windows are round, similar to
port holes on steamships, and are air,
water and dust proof. The cars hnve
entrance in the middle Instead of at
the end.
The new method of ventilation fair
ly well avoids the close and sometimes
foul atmospheric conditions so often
encountered In electric and other trans
portation cars, sufficiently so as to
predict complete success In this di
rection. Tiler vibration and noise of
the engine were largely eliminated
and mechanism of the car worked
splendidly on this trial run.
