SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.

Garrett A Hobart was eninentiy sue
csssful both IN business and politics. His
reputation as man of affairs and as one
OF the shrewdest business men in the
country was perhaps greater than his rep
utatiou as a political leader and statesman
until his election to the yice-presidency
three years ago.
Mr.. Hobart was born in 1874 at Long
Branch, y. J. His ancestors on his
fathers side were English and on his
mothers side Dutch. Thirty-three years
ago he was graduated from Rutgers
college and began teaching school. Three
months later he entered upon the study OF
law with Socrates Tu1tle. a prominent
lawyer. in Passaic county. and who was
al that time mayor OF Paterson
Young Hobart il said TO have arrived al
Paterson with but q dollar and fifty cents
in his pocket and from this small begin
ming he made his way unaided 10 wealth
and prominence In 1853 he was admitted
TO the bar and the same year he married
the daughter Of Mr.. Tutte- MI Hobart
made his way rapidly al the bar OF his
native State. and his bent led him early
into politics.
In Isl ne was made city counsel OF
Paterson ard in 1S72 was elected 10 the
State Assembly, OF which body he was
chosen speaker in the following year
Even during these early years he displayed
that accurate knowledge OF men ard ex-
hibited that wonderful executive ability
which were the key Of his later success
both in business and politics. At the end
Of his second year IN the Assembly he re-
tired 70 devote himself 10 the law and 10
numerous business Interests with which
he had becoue identified But the de-
naands OF his party would not admit Of
his remaining long in private life and in
1876 ne was elected TO The STATE Senate.
OF which body he was chosen president in

was chairman OF the judiciary committee

son Mr.. Hobart went to his Paterson
home in company with Mrs. Hobart,
his son and secretary.
About month ago Mr.. Hobart's i'll
ness took decided change for the
worse and shortly after that notice
was issued by Mr.. Hobart's family to
the public admitting that the Vice
Presidents condition was very critical
and that little hope Of his recovery was
entertained. The announcement was
also made that he certainly would
never again appear in public life. Mr..
Hobart's family, his personal and init
mate friends and political associates
have since been resigned to the newt
able, although there were times in the
last. few days of the Vice Presidents i'll
ness that he was brighter and appeared
to be growing stronger. This was es-
pecially the case during the last ten
days. His appetite improved and he
was reported to have passed several
comfortable nights. On Sunday there
was decided unfavorable change in
his condition and ne continued to grow
weaker until the end came to-day.
The city council met to-day, and as
a mark of respect to the late Vice Pres
idenr adjourned, after passing resolu-
tons expressing regret for the death
of distinguished fellow citizen and
faithful public servant, and expressing
sympathy with the family of the dead
Vice President and the citizens of the
State of New Jersey in their irrepara-
BILE loss.
Similar resolutions were also adopt

Although the Vice Presidents death
had been expected at any time, there
was still faint hope up to the last
among his personal friends in Paterson

come. These persons who had been
neighbors and lifelong friends of the
Vice President were deeply affected
over his death.

ON GERMAN SUGAR
Methods for Increasing
Home Production
Beet Sugar as a Ration for Soldiers
and Steady Diet
for Hogs.

beet sugar will be of interest 1t is
copied from Consular Reports of the
United States Government for August.
1899:
1T seems TO be generally admitted
that German beet sugar, when once it
comes into competition with the Cuban
product, must go to the wall. In cast
ing about for some way of saving the
industry from utter destruction. many
most available seems to be to increase
home consumption To this end, it is
proposed to issue sugar as a ration to
the soldiers and to encourage farmers
to feed it to stock, especially to hogs.
OF course, this will necessitate the
cheapening of the article, and the only
way this can be effectually accomp-
lished is to abolish the. taxes now paid
on sugar consumed in Germany, and
reduce or entirely discontinue sugar
bounties.
THE following statistics of the con-
sumption of sugar in Europe and
America, taken from the last monthly
report of Herr LIGHT, sta tistician of the
beet-sugar industry of the German En-
pire, show cOnclusive1y that there is
ample room for large increase of it's
use in Germany:
