ARTHUR ROPES. General nditor.
The vice President is Dead.

Vice President Hobart, after a stout
fight for life, has passed away. En-
couragement had been given the coun-
try, in the public dispatches from
Paterson, that Mr.. Hobart was better
and that the recovery of d measure of
health was assured, though a full re-
turn to the activities of his busy life
was not promised. So the announce
ment of his death produces something
of q shock.
Mr.. Hobart has been prominent
figure in public life since his nomina-
ton and election as Vice President.
He was highly respected for positive
good qualities and popular because he
was man whose abilities, experience
in affairs, and high character command
ed esteem. His was the popularity OF
real worth. The country will deeply
mourn the stroke that undermined his
physical health and has taken him of
in the high-noon of useful existence

NATIONAL GRANGE.
Delegates and Officers are Receiving
Distinguished Attention from
the City of Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Nov. q. - AL
though the National Grange has nomi-
nally been in session since last Thurs
day the distinguished attention that has
Teen shown the officers and delegates
has interfered somewhat with the regu-
lar routine work.
Governor Asa II. Bushnell extended
to the National Grange warm welcome
for the State. He said that in setting
forth the reasons why the Grange should
be convened here this year the citizens
had not mentioned the fact that they
had Governor of the State here. In
part the speaker said:
"Ohio is a great State. 1t has the
largest number of farms of any State,
consequently the largest number of
farmers. We are not only living in
marvellous State, but in a marvellous
age. Living in a country of self-gov
eminent, of self-education, and it is all
our own. We have much to be thank
full for because of our government. 1t
has endured every strain, overcome
every obstacle, is marvel and will 60
forward to the great destiny that awaits
it,"
He paid a beautiful tribute to the
farmers of the land, and his welcome
was heartily received.
The response to the address of well
come was delivered by Aaron Jones of
Indiana, master Of the National
| Grange. Mr.. Jones said tina. Spring
field ia city renowned far and wide
for it's manufacturing establishments,
enterprise, push and vim of its citizens.
He spoke at length of the farmers
needs, and his remarks were of such a
nature as to evoke laughter from every
one present. He told of the cry that
went up when the farmers asked for a
representative in the cabinet, and how
as soon as the politician saw it was
bound to come, the farmer was told
that he was just right, and he said or
every hand wae heard the words
"Send me to Congress and l will die in
my tracks or get you representative
in the cabinet"
Turning to the Governor, he said ht
desired the audience to understand that
the Governor was not a politician, but
a manufacturer, and that he was Gov
ernor by accident. This brought
laughter, and the Governor stated thai
he was pleased to have the gentleman
state his position SO clearly. Mr.. Jonel
also agitated the delivery of rural mai
free, and stated that he thought it wal
what the farmer deserved. His speech
found ready favor with the audience
and showed plainly that he is the pride
of the Changers.
The State Grange has also been il
) session in Springfield for several days
The State body rendered the Nationa
organization a reception in city hal
Saturday evening, which proved mos
enjoyable occasion. On Monday even
ing the National Grange was rendered
another reception in Armory hall b.
, the Commercial club of Springfield.

CITY COURT SEES.

None of the people concerned in the
raids of the Hotel Imperial and the
London house were in court yesterday
morning when the cases were called, for
lawyer had previously arranged for a
settlement with the city attorney, by
! which Hattie Goodman was to pay a
fine of 500 and costs, and fines of S. and
! costs in the other three cases. When 1t
came for Judge Dow to approve of the
| recommendations he declined to accept
| them. The court declared that the at
| tempt to punish the offenders was get
| ting to be much like a farce, and de-
clared that the situation was at the
stage where patience had ceased to be
a virtue.
Judge Dow seemed more aggravated
when 1T was announced that none OF the
prisoners was in court. He ordered that
they be summoned into court to plead
Messengers We're sent out, and the ac-
cused We're arraigned in court. With
warning that the next offense would re-
suit in imprisonment in Jail, the court
imposed fine of $500 in Miss Good
mans case and approved of the recon-
mendatons made in the other cases,
NIcolSt MCNdllllS VI anu
Georgia Allen, who We're arrested in
the Hotel Imperial, We're each fined IS
and costs.
Henry Linstead, a teamster employed
by the Smedley company, was arraigned
in court, charged with obtaining
money under false pretensee. II was
alleged that Linstead had repeated
on an order that was given him upon
which to collect $1.50. Linstead denied
that he had repeated. Judge Dow ask
ed If there was any one to dispute the
accused's statement. TWO clerks of
the Smedley company said that the
mans testimony was true. Linstead
was ordered discharged. No one in
court knew what caused Linstead's ar
rest.
Patrick M. Spaine the foreman in
the polishing room at Reynolds fac
tory on East street, and Thomas F.
Boland who worked under him, We're
on trial for assault, The row occurred
on October 2 at the shop and resulted
from a dispute between the foreman
and Boland. Spaine was struck on the
top of the head with a hammer and
his escape from a fracture of the skull
was a miracle The testimony of the
witnesses showed that Boland used
more violence than was necessary and
Judge Dow made the fine $40 in his
case. Spane was found guilty of as
saulting Boland also and in his case
fine of IS and costs was imposed.

part of their representation and will
place the control of the Grand lodge in
the hands of the larger lodges who now
have the advantage from the fact that
past grand chancellors have right to
vote and small lodges do not often get
a chance to have a past grand chan
cellor on their roster.
Another proposition is to abolish
the grand tribune and leave the du-
ties that We're supposed to have de-
volved upon that officer to the COM
mittee on judiciary. The grand tri-
bune in this domain has been only a
name. At the last session Of the Grand
lodge it was reported that nothing had
been done in the way of adjudicating
questions that had been raised and
there is no earthly reason for continu-
ing the farce.
Besides these there is the matter OF
reducing the per capita tax from twen-
ty-five cents to twenty, and the propo-
sition that the Grand lodge mileage be
reduced from four to two cents. All
representatives have heretofore RECEIVE
ed mileage at the rate Of four cents
circular in attending Grand lodge SEES
sions. They also receive their expenses
from their lodges and in some cases are
paid per diem.

GREAT ATTRd CTTONS yEyT WEEK,
Chris and the Wonderful Lamp ut the
Hyperion.

| AAy PeHhOb
| Chris and the Wonderful Lamp
VIII be presented at the Hyperion for
one week commencing on Monday next.
Otcober 70. There will be matinee Sat-
urday.
IL VIII be gratifying news that Klaw
o. Eflanger and B. ID. Stevens are to
make another big production in this
city SO soon. The attractions they
have presented to us have always borne
out the promise of merit. In this in
stance, the occasion of pleasurable in
terest is added to by the fact that we
are assured that Chris and the Won
derful Lamp will be the most sump-
tuous spectacle they have ever yet Of
fered. The story of the performance
was suggested by the book of this name,
| The chapters of which first appeared
| serially in st. Nicholas The entertain
| Ing idea of that young limb turning the
| natural laws of life upside down to- fit
| his appetite for excitement and salty
| pleasure has been caught up, 1t is
claimed, and turned to delightful
stage account by Glen MeDonough. The
| music for this racy fiction was COM
posed by John Philip Sousa, the we'll
known bandmaster. Mr.. Sousa, it is
known, has always had craving desire
to write the light anud airy music for
an up-to-date extravaganza. The OPP
portunity came to him with this story
OF Chris, and one who knows him well
says, that nothing Mr.. Sousa has ever
done In the way of musical writing, has
ever more temptingly enlisted his SYM
pathetic nature. The music is rioting
scheme of tune, the swinging quality of
which throbs galy through every scene
and produces delightful sensation of
pleasure in the veins of every bearer.
The oriental surroundings of Chris with
all their sensuous splendor of color and
form make an inspiring cause for mu-
sic, the sound of which should ring
with fetching melody. In view of this
situation, there is every reason to be- |
lieve that the music of the perform |
ance will have the dancing life which |
goes to the real spot of enjoyment with |
the average theater-goer. 1t Is claimed |
for the scenery, that 1t will be the most |
gorgeous prepared for any spectacle in
recent years. Klaw & Erlanger and B.
ID. Stevens have the resources and the
enterprise to make this promise good, /
and with Chris and His Wonderful
Lamp" as the subject for scene paint
er's art, the result should be critically
important as well as dazzlingly beauti
full. Seats now on sale. Prices, $150,

A Curious Thing About Tobacco.

For half century the old Germans OF
Pennsylvania have been removing the
bitter taste from their native tobacco
by sweating it in a hot lair room. 1t
never occurred to any of them to try Il
on Sumatra until about two years ago,
when Celestino Costello e. Co. made a
brand of cigars called the "Barfister.'
They used a filler of pure Vuelta Ha-
vana, a binder of old Connecticut seed
and Sumatra wrapper resweated just
enough to take out the bitter taste. 1t
is said to be one of the most superior
cigars made.
