EW YORK, Nov. 21.-Garret A.
Hobart, Vice President of the United

AT EW YORK, Nov. H--Garret A
nj Hobart, Vice President of the United
States, died at his home in Paterson.
y. j., at $50 o'clock this morning
At his bedside were Mrs. Hobart and his
son, Garret a. Hobart Jr., together with
DR.. William X. Newton and his wife and
Private Secretary Evans.
Mr.. Hobart's death had been expected
for some hours. Yesterday afternoon
there was a sudden failure of the heart.
and from this attack Mr. Hobart never
rallied. He had been sick for a long time
and had suffered frequently from heart
failure and his strength had heen under
mined. Gradually the failure OF the
hearts action became more apparent, and
soon after midnight last night Mr.. Hobart
became unconscious. He remained in that
condition until his death.
Mr.. Hobart's death was due directly to
angina pectoris, complicating myocarditis.
Owing 10 the prostration of Mrs. Hobart
the funeral arrangements will not be con-
cluded until tomorrow. The only step
decided upon is that the services shall be
held in the Church of the Redeemer at
Paterson and the interment in the family
plat at Cedar Lawn, where the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hobart was
buried six years ago. Rev. DR.. Magee will
preach the sermon.

than 500 persons and as thousands will be

ANOTHER CRITICISM.

Sir:-In looking over the preamble
at the head of the names Of the petit
ton in Fridays Register against the
playing OF base ball on the Sabbath,
one cannot but be forcibly reminded
that we are living in a remarkable age,
an age of commissions both high and
lOw-an age in which commissions are
supposed to supersede or supplant the
judiciary in all its functions. In this
connection we have an attempt to rel
egate public officials to the rear and
our private citizens taken upon them
selves the obligation to prosecute all
violations of the law. The object may
be commemorate from a moral stand
point and the right to petition e2nnot
be denied, but the threat or pledge to
become public prosecutors, thereby
proclaiming that our public officials,
who are sworn to uphold and enforce
our laws, are incompetent, is reprehen-
sible, to say the least.
A great many people would refuse
to sign a petition that made public
prosecutors of them, though they might
be in favor of the movement that the
petition calls for. Let US have less
of this kind of enactments and give
to our officials the proper recognition,
and insist on them performing their
sworn duty, and the appreciation of all
law-abiding citizens will be secured.
But, for heavens sake. don't let US
publish to the country that it requires
the energetic efforts of over four hum
dred of our prominent citizens-an or
ganized commission of over 400-to Sc
cure the enforcement of one little stat
utorv law. F. T. NJ.

spring FERN Opened with Largely
Increased Attendanco-A Good Ontloox
Special to the Register.
MorgantoWn, W. Va, April 3-The
spring quarter has opened at the Uni
versity with a large increase of stu
dents. There are now nearly IT'S names
on the roll, counting those who were
here last summer, and the indications
are that the attendance will run close
on to the eight hundred mark before the
enrolment is complete. DR.. Reynolds,
chaplain of the University, is taking a
six months vacation, beginning the
first of the month, and he will not re-
sumo his duties until October first. He
will travel a great deal this summer
and for part of the time will occupy
the pulpit of the Baptist Church at AL
dersOn, this State. He will take trip
to the Pacific coast and will enter sew
eral of the summer schools of the large
colleges for short courses on several
subjects. Prof. T. c. Miller, who has
been unable to attend to his duties on
account of illness, is back at his post
and hopes to be able to continue there
this term. Prof. S. B. Brown, who has
been out for several months on account
of an attack of fever, is also meeting
his classes.

What Aiis Many Men,

There is no need to describe the pc
culiar weakness with which so many
men are affiicted-you all know what
it is-it may have been caused by over
work, indiscretion or inheritance. How
to cure it is what interests you. You
may have taken many kinds of medi-
cine and found no relief-that proves
nothing except that you have been
working on wrong lines. A regular
physician who has seen thousands of
similar cases ought to understand
yours. Such a physician is DR.. Greene,
the leading specialist in nervous and
chronic diseases, the discoverer of DR..
Greene's Nervura. You can consult DR..
Greene without cost, personally or by
letter at his office. 50 West 14th ST.,
New York City. If it is not conven-
lent for you to call, write DR.. Greene
a letter-you will receive prompt an
swer explaining your case. Remember
that consultation and advice are free.
