year an effort was made to induce him to
take the craftsmanship of the committee,
but he declined the honor preferringa less
prominent place on the committee. He has,
however, remained continuously member
of the committee from the time OF his first
appointment
A Man of Business.
At the present time Mr.. Hobart Is the
president of the Paterson Railway COM
pany, which controls the valuable electric
lines of Paterson. For many years the
Paterson street railroads were run at a loss,
but under Mr. Hobart's management they
have been made paying, despite the enor-
nous sums expended for up to date I'M
provements and the latest things in rolling
stock. He is president of the Passaic Wa
ter company, which supplies Passaic and
Paterson with water, and is dominant
spirit of the East Jersey Water company,
which supplies Newark, Jersey City and
other places. He is the governor of the
Paterson Society For Establishing Useful
Manufactures, the oldest and one of the
most important organizations 'd the kind
in the country. He is director of the
First National bank of Paterson and OF the
Paterson Savings institution, director and
treasurer of the Cedar Lawn Cemetery
company and interested in numerous man
ufacturing industries in Paterson and VI
cinity.
Mr.. Hobart's greatest personal charm Is
his affability and socability. He is never
too busy to receive any one, and it makes
no difference whether it be a millionaire
or laboring man, president or mes
senger. His business is immense, his Of
| fees covering almost an entire floor OF the
Paterson Savings Institution building
He answers every letter he receives, no
matter how trivial its character, and his
stenographer, Miss Anna Childs, one OF
the fastest typewriters in the country, keeps
her machine rapping away at railroad
speed all the time he is in his office. A
large proportion of the letters MIR. Hobart
receives are appeals for charity. Seldom
are these ignored. Il am sometimes
ashamed of my weakness" said he to tho
writer one day recently, "but l cannot re-
sist these appeals must stop before am
ruined myself. This settles it," He threw
down the six begging letters before him
with q gesture of fatigue, but moment
later he pulled out a checkbook and wrote
out q contribution for each one OF the I'm
pecunious applicants. No one knows how
much Mr.. Hobart gives away every veal
for benevolence and charity, but 1t must b.
fortune. There is a suspicion that hi
good nature has been abused In this re
spect. No matter what is started no mat
ter what project is introduced, the frs
name entered ON the list for prospective
contribution Is Gus Hobart

" as q local party leader than his brilliant
young protege. Living in the same house
as he did, it was only natural that he
should fall in love with Mr.. Tuttle's ac-
complished and amiable daughter, the
Mrs. Hobart of today.
Mr. Hobart was admitted to the bar In
1866 and three years later was licensed as
o full fledged counselor at law He began
In the same manner as all other young
lawyers, taking petty cases before the JUS
tices or wherever else they came, and at
the same time doing considerable office
work. 1t was only natural from his sur
roundings and training that he should be-
come politician, and he began this In
1871, when he became candidate for and
WAS elected the Paterson city counsel LIZ
this capacity he served one year and tner
resigned in consequence OF his being ap'
pointed as counsel for the Passaic county
board of freeholders, taking possession Oh
this office in 1872 He was reappointed the
next year, but Immediately rendered his
resignation because of having been elected
to the assembly in the fall of 1872, he
thinking that no man should hold these
two offices, for fear that they might con-

only reelected In 1878, but was elected
speaker over that body of the legislature.
He is universally conceded to have been one
of the fairest and ablest speakers the assem-
bly, of New Jersey ever had.
Ability as Presiding Officer.
In 1875 Mr. Hobart declined renomi-
nation for the assembly, but in 1876 he was
elected senator from Passaic county, in
which capacity he served with such salts
faction that he was reelected in 1879 by
1880 majority, the largest majority that
| Passaic county had up to that time ever
| given for any candidate. He was elected
president of the senate in 1881 and again
In 1882, and still further proved his con-
summate ability as presiding officer over
n deliberative body. During his term in
the senate he introduced very large num-
Der of bills, the major part of which he
nrepared himself. His knowledge on par
liamentary law, and particularly of legis'
latiye rules and practice, is consummate.
He is frequently referred to as an author
ity on these subjects
Bv this time Mr.. Hobart began to show
an aptitude for business management that
attracted attention outside of his local
home. His ability as financial manager
was widely recognized, and everybody saw
chat the young lawyer was becoming
wealthy. A man who can successfully
manage his own business is regarded as q
s, man to place in charge Of the business
Of others. especially when the others have
not been 40 successful in their manage

Only those who personally know him
can fully appreciate the justice and appro-
priateness of nominating Hon. Garrett
Augustus Hobart of Paterson, N. j., for
the vice presidency Of the United States.
Although he was not himself an aspirant
for the nomination, because his political
ambitions involved an entirely different
programme, yet he at last reluctantly
yielded to an almost universal demand on
the part of the Republicans of the state
when he consented to be considered can
didate There were other reasons why he
did not want nomination that most men
would have worked hard to secure, which
would be appreciated were they fully
known, so that to those cognizant with
the circumstances he has made q bigger
sacrifice than most people would imagine.
The imam from Texas" who wanted to
know who "this man Hobart" was simply
showed his own limited acquaintance, for
there Is hardly man in the country who
knows more really great men of the United
States intimately than Mr.. Hobart. Even
his most intimate friends at the conven-
ton were astonished at the extent of this
acquaintanceship And there is no doubt
In the world that when he becomes better
known among the people generally he will
be fully as popular with them as he is now
with those who have the honor Of his gen.
ial personal acquaintance.
As a Young Law Student.
Garrett A. Hobart was born at Long
Branch on June 8, 1874 After attending
some preparatory schools he entered Rut-
gers college, from which institution he
graduated with honors in 1868. In the
same year he entered the law office Of ex-
Mayor Socrates Tuttle at Paterson as q
student. Mr. futile was at the time one
Of the leading citizens of the city of Pater-
son, If not of the state. He was stalwart
Republican and brilliant orator, whose
eloquent voice was frequently heard from
the platform during the exciting days
around the organization of the Republican
party Schooled by such tutor, Mr.. Ho-
bart had instilled in him the principles of
Republicanism of the most stalwart char
acter, and not infrequently the young man
was himself pushed forward by his friend
and adviser, so that before long Mr.. Tut
ties name was known not more extensive

AN IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Large Federal Reservoir to Be Built
 Near Denver.

Captain Hiram M. Chittenden, of the corps of engineers of the United States army is in Denver looking over the typographical maps of Colorado, with view to se- lecting the most desirable site for a great water storage reservoir.
 Captain Chittenden's mission is one of extraordinary importance to the agricultural interests of Colorado, and marks the commencement of federal interest in western irrigation projects. The idea is to establish a government storage reservoir or lake in the noun tain on the eastern side of the divide, which will save huge volumes of water, which now run to waste in the spring. The project will, when com pleted, open up vast areas of now arid region to cultivation.
 A start was made last spring, when congress passed the bill authorizing the construction of great federal res ervoirs, one in Wyoming and one in Colorado. The bill carried with it an appropriation of $20O, ,OOO to defray the expenses of the surveys and other preliminary work.
 q have about decided that the proper place to locate the reservoir would be at the headwaters of the Platte," stated Captain Chittenden. 'The Platte is the great distributor of water in Colorado, and northwest ern Nebraska. I will start out in a few days and look over the South Park region, but active work cannot be com menced until heavy SHOWS disappear

MEXICAN CATTLE.
Imports of October and Novembe
 Compared at Ports of Entry.

Reports made to Albert Dean, live stock agent of the bureau of animal industry, in charge at Kansas City, show the importations of Mexican cat tie in November to have been 14,858, against 14,253 in October. The cattle were admitted at these ports:
 November-El Paso, Texas, 5,611; Eagle Pass, Texas, 914; Brownsville, Texas, 662; Nogales, Arizona, 6,9S6; San Diego, Cal, 6S5. October-El Paso, 4,S16; Laredo, Texas, S9; No gales, Arizona, 9,152; San Diego, Cal, 196.
 The above shows plainly where the bulk of the cattle imported from Mex ico crossed the border and the Mexi- can states which contributed the sup ply. Fl Paso, Texas, and Nogales, Ariz, are the ports through which the bulk of the cattle admitted from Mex ico have passed, therefore they came from the states of Chihuahua and So- nora.
 Advices from the Mexican border are to the effect that the importations of cattle from Mexico during the win ter months will hold up to October and November figures. The Corralitos Cattle company, Britton Davis, man. ager, and Fanchler Bros. have been the principal importers at Ell Paso, and the indications are their importa- tions will continue for some time. The Corralitos company's cattle have been taken to the old Kentucky Cat tie company's pasture in Crosby coun- ty, Texas, and which is located in the northwestern part of the state.-Kan- sas City Times.
