Garret A. Hobart, Vice President
of the United States, died at 8 o'clock,
last Tuesday mornincr, November 21,
at his home in New Jersey, aged 55
years of a complication of disease?,
caused by an impaired stomach. He
was born in 1844. He received a
liberal education, taught school, read
law, engaged in busineas and when
elected to the Vice Presidency, was
an officer in sixty corporations. He
became a rich man and entertained
lavishly at Washington. He was an
efficient officer and the Senate will
miss him. When the news of his
death was received at this place the
County flag was displayed at half
mast. The funeral will take place on
Saturday afternoon.
A report is afloat that ex-Presiden t
Cleveland is to have a special chair
inPdliticiI Enuomy in Princeton
University. American young men
at school at Princeton will bo hard
to indoctrinate with Mr. Cleveland's
notions of free trade There is some
thing quite ethereal about a profes
sor in a college chair theorizing on
the equality of nations, exchanging
their manufactured articles and agri
cultural products free of duty cr tar
iff, and that may come to pass when
the conditions of all nations are tiio
same. What a nice thing to theorize
on when the whole world is a great
brotherhood of nations, but unfortu
nately that will not be until the ad.
vent of the Millennial Dawn So far
the Millenial Dawn has proven itself
a myth. It will be time enongh to
advocate free trade doctrines once
the Millenial Dawn period has been
ushered in. Till then every nation
must take care of itself according to
its cwn conditions and the conditions
of eurrounJrcg nations. President
Cleveland had his tariff views to ' a
certain degree put into practical op
eration when he was President of the
United States. It is not necessary
to state the effect upon the business
of the country. However the mat
agetnent of the Princeton school
have the right to establish chairs to
suit themselves, and Mr. Cleveland
would make a capable doctor of cer
tain doctrines.
A good many people in New Tork

EXPOSITION SUGGESTS WEALTfl.
A Capitalization of a Half Billion Dollaf
' And an Army of Workmen Repra
- tented by Exhibits. v
Philadelphia --. --' -h!le a great
deal has been said in a genera! way
about the exhibits ia the various build
ings of the National Export exposition,
few persons understand how large
ly they represent the manufacturing
Interests of the United States. Theja
exhibits, covering an Infinite variety
of industries, represent no less than
a half billion of dollars of capital, dis
tributed over almost every section of
the country. There is r.o doubt that but
for the present extraordinary demand
upon the manufacturers of the country
to fill pressing orders, testing their ca
pacity to the utmost, these figures
might have been increased two fold
and the exhibits would have repre
sented a round billion of industrial
capital. It is impossible, of course, to
enter into detail as to all the exhibits
their character and, the extent of the
industries which they represent but
the visitor at the exposition when he
eutei'3 the north pavilion of tue main
building will find a great variety of ex
hibits representing in ep.ch individual
case capital to the amount of from
$5,000 to $1,000,000 and the employment
of persons in the mills or factories
from 50 to 1,500.
In this pavilion the exhibits. 82 in
number, represent a total capital of
nearly $7,000,000 and the employment
of more than 20.000 shop hands, fac
tory men or other employes. These ex
hibits are chemical and pharmaceutical
products, typewriters, musical Instru
ments, pianos, organs, etc.
Passing from the north pavilion to
the cast arcade there will be found
bicycles, sewing machines, steamship
models and petroleum products; these
exhibits representing an aggregate of
capital ot nearly $90,000,000 and the
employment of 60,000 persons. The ex
hibits include those of Cramp & Sons,
ship builders; the International Navi
gation company, several newspapers
and the Union Iron works, of San
Francisco, the builders cf the Tiattle
shlp Oreeon.
In the central pavilion of the main
building are food products, cereals,
tobacco, wine. liquors, spices, etc..
which represent capital amounting to
$12,000,000 or more and the employ
ment of more than 30.000 persons.
By far the most imnortant. interest
ing and valuable exhibits are those in
the main exhibition hall. There are
over 300 of these exhibits, including
iron and steel, electrical machinery,
leather and textiles. In these 300 ex
hibits Is represented a capitalization of
nearly $220,000,000 and the employ
ment of nearly 2O0.0C0 working people.
The exhibits represent nearly th
whole territory of the Union and In
clude two or three from far off Alaska.
In the south pavilion of the main
building, where the hardware, stoves,
ranges. paM!ery. etc., are located, more
than $20.0'.'0.000 of capital and the em
ployment of more than 50.000 men and
women in the various industries ar;
represented.
In the implement and vehicle build
ing there are 85 classes of exhibits, ren
resenting a capitalization cf nearly V
000.000 and the employment of 46.000
industrial workers.
In she transportation building and in
other places where exhibits are to be
seen there i3 represented a further
capitalization of $40,000,000 and the
employment of 1G0.00;) iiersons. Thes
figures give a more correct idea of the
extent cf the exposition and the widi?
range and importmue of the industrial
renters involved than ha3 j'et aup?aret.

is something fascinating about these

afford the spectators moments of

so kaleidoscopic as to make it ever

Visiting Day For Jersey Residents.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7. Nov. 10 has
been decided upon as "Trenton day" at
the exposition. Reports from New Jer
sey's capital received yesterday Indi
cate that great interest is being taken
there and that the state as well as the
city will be handsomely represented in
the number of visitors. At the exercises
which it is proposed to hold in the au
ditorium music and speeches by promi
nent men will be leading features. Hon.
James Buchanan, of Trenton, has been
invited to be the orator of the day.
Prominent state and cicy officials are
expected to take part, among them be
ing Governor Voorhees, William S.
Hancock, secretary of state. General N.
A. Donnelly and others. Frank S. Katz
enbach, president of the councils at
Trenton, has issued an invitation to
the members of that body to attend.
Special Exposition Days.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7. Railroad day,
on Nov. 21, is expected to be one of the
red letter days of the exposition. Many
railroad officials have taken up the
matter of arranging for special trains
from several of the principal cities.
Next Thursday will be New York
day. Ex-Mayor Strong and a half hun
dred of leading merchants of that city
are arranging to have a large delega
tion of Gotham's representatives accom
pany them to Philadelphia's great
show. The interest manifested by
prominent trades people all over the
country is a strong attestation of the
popularity of the exposition.

Archie Rogers, son of A. R. Rogers, the
owner of Jim Key. Little Archie la
scarcely 5 years old, and whenever he
Is permitted to appear in front of Jim
Key's exhibition hall he takes great de
lignt in swinging his arms and calling
to the crowd: "Come In and see Jim
Key only ten cents knows more than
any horse In the world." When Archie
was but a toddling tot his most en
joyable pastime was to "play Jim
Key." He would hang up toe cards
with the different letters, and then go
and take them off with his mouth, and
bring them to his mother, who turned
his play to the good purpose of teach
ing him the alphabet. Whenever the
little fellow gets his chance at the
crowd he seems to captivate it by hit
winsome ways and "barker" antics, an 4

TALK WITH ANIMAL TRAINERS.
Who Enter Cans of WiM Beasts

the Most Treacherous of All. -
Philadelphia, w-rt a- Louis J. Beck. ,
of the Hagenback Trained Wild Anl- (
mai snow, wnicn is ex miming at me
National Export exposition, says that
when an animal trainer is performing
with ferocious beasts one may be quite
right vlf ' he imagines the man Is a
fearless master of them, "but If you
think," he continued, "for an instant
that there is no danger you are wholly
wrong. A. trainer never confronts the
beasta and compels them to do his bid
ding without literally taking his life
in his hands.
"He is so used to the danger that he
does not think of it each time, but he
holds his niaatery over them by a sort
of power that becomes habit, second

nature, as it were, Just as he eats his
meals or performs other common em
ployments. Or to make the case more
plain, he forgets the danger that sur
rounds him. Just as other men in other
dangerous callings do; a painter, for
instance, who stands on a narrow plat
form hundreds of feet from the
ground. Nevertheless, the danger is
ever present, and all the more ter
rible because of the uncertainty of the
situation.
A trainer must inspire constant
fear in the brutes. What a power for
rharm there is in the elephant, for in
stance; one awing of that powerful
trunk, and he could crush the life out
of a man. but he Is possessed with an
ungovernable fear.
"Some animal trainers live to a good
age and never have an accident. They
are absolutely fearless In their work
and yet they may be no braver than
you or I when other animals aie in
question.
i iv;re was one trainer who gave
a wonderful performance with a num
ber of a.ilnial in one rage. He would
take all manner of liberties with the
ferocious beasts, compelling them to do
his bidding, making them form pyra
mids and lying down on them. When
you consider how a cat or dog will
sometimes turn oh you if not handled
just so. you must realize what a tre
mendous power the trainer must ex
ert over such huge savage beasts."
Of all animals, Mr. Beck says, the
tiger is the worst and most treacher
ous. It is necessary to keep the eye
fixed pretty constantly upon It, or it
may revolt at any moment.
THRILLING SNAKE FIGHT.
Big Tussle Between Clown Bobby Mack
and Big Constrictor at the
Hagenback Show.
Philadelphia, Oct. 24. This is a most
extraordinary story of a fight between
a man and a 19 foot boa constrictor:
"nbbjMack.arfi3pectabreand trust
worthy -eHrpioye, holding the position
of clown and animal instructor witn the
Hagenback wild animal aggregation,
weighs 180 pounds, is as strong as a

with one u.
) Mack, with a hasi'-'
ball bat, was unable to finloh the
snake. The serpent not only showed
remarkable agility, but showed that It
had genuine courage, and could fight
like a cornered panther. It gave Mr.
Mack the prettiest tussle for points
history has probably ever recorded. It
is to be added that after two rounds
the fight ended In a draw, with both
contestants thoroughly winded.
Mack had occasion to go into the
show early this morning, when he
heard a terrific threshing. Recognizing
at once that one of the snakes had es
caped from its box, he advanced, and
saw the 19 toot boa constrictor rear its
ugly head over the top of one of the
animal cages. Mack looked around for
some weapon of defense, but finding
none turned and fled into the Es
planade, where he secured a bat and
scurried back to the show. He thought
It would be fun to cut the snake into
mince meat with the club.
The snake had not escaped upon the
return of Mack, but had opinions of its
own in relation to the impending com
bat. It coiled itself into a huge mass
and assumed a defensive position. Up
went the club through tbe air and
caught the snake on the head. For an
instant the snake wavered; then like
a hissing rocket it shot forward and
made a )inge ct Mack. Before the
snake recovered Mack had again given
it a terrific blow with the club.
The clown rained blow after blow
upon the crsized creature, and once was
Bent sprawling to the ground. Hefore
he co:i:d get 011 his fpet the snake had
seir.cd liii.i around the waist and was
endoiivoring to crush him. Mack
wriggled loose with the assistance of
Mathew Johnson End others. At the
first opport tinityNha reversed his bat
rnd gave the reptile an awful blow in
the neck with the butt end.
Down in & heap went the snake, and
Mack was certain he had knocked It
completely out. but he was mistaken.
The snake was up and after Mack, who
leaped aside, feinted with his bat, and
the snake, carried with the force of
the redhot lunge, landed out into the

The loon, or great northern diver, la
a powerful bird. The following in
stance of one of them conquering a
man happened a few rears ago:
A vonnir MIcinac Indian, living at
0" Ijke- 8- "ted to get the
skin of one of these Itcautlful birds to
present to his mistress on her birth
day. ' .
One day the youth, who was an adept
at imitating the peculiar sobbing cry of
Uie loon, succeeded In calling a bird
within shooting distance. Ills shot,
however, failed to kill outright, and
the bird.' although so severely wound
ed. that It could neither swim nor dive,
yet retained sufficient life and strength
to remain upright In the water. .
The boy, thinking that his game did
not need another shot, swam out to re
trieve It, but when he approached near
enough to seize the bird It suddenly
made a dash at him, sending its head
and neck out with a spring like an ar
row from a bow. It was only by a
quick duck of his head that the Indian
succeeded In evading the blow. He
swam aliout the loon several times, at
tempting to dash in and seize him by
the neck, but the wary bird succeeded
In foiling each effort by continually
faring him and lunging out with his
powerful neck.
The Indian then swam up to within a
few feet of the bird and, diving under
hlin with considerable skill, caught
hiui by the legs. He carried him un
der, and, although the bird struggled
fiercely, managed to retain his hold.
But when they loth rose to the sur
face agalu a battle royal began, the
Indian seeking to carry his prize
ashore and the -bird attempting to re
gain his freedom. The bird, however,
was too much for his foe and before
the Indian had covered a yard on his
shore bound course disabled Iiiiu with
a vicious blow from his beak full on
the linked c hest. S
The effect of the blow was almost In
stantaneously fatal for the beak pene
trated close to the Indian's heart.

STORY OF NOSES.
Why Rrnon-ncd Grnrrala Had a X

The' features are developed by the
mind. A child that is reared amid
pleasant Riirrnuiidlngs and whose mind
Is tilled with pleasant thoughts, will
have a pleasing face. The slmpe tif
the nose and chin will deHnd entirely
upon the strength and character of the
mental faculties.
At l' a boy's nose mny be small ami
turned up at the end. at 15 It may have
grown larger and le straight and at 'Si
it may lc pronounced Roman. It all de
pends upon his mind.
The Romans had big noses with high
bridges because they were a steady
and determined race of people. Sturdl
ness ami determination will give a man
a Roman nose, no matter how little or
how sntibby his proboscis may have
been when be was born. The Greeks
had straight, delicate, finely chiseled
noses Ini-ause their tastes are artistic
aud poetic. You never saw a poet or
an artist with a Roman or snub nose,
did you?
On the other hand, It would be hard
to find a great general who had not a
Roman nose. Get pictures of Alexan
der the Great, Napoleon, Wellington,
Washington or Grant and see if they
have not all got Mg, strong noses of
the Romanesque type. Yet it Is quite
safe to wiy that If we could have por
traits of nil these personages, taken In
infancy, we would find their olfactory
organs little pudgy nfTalrs, like those
ofthc common run of babies. These
men were not great generals because
they had Roman noses; they "bad Ro
man noses liecause they were great
generals. San Francisco Bulletin.

METEORS DROP.
A meteor here and there dropped
hist week. If they bed struck ' a

and the fact that they came down in
