that same year he married the daugh-

way rapidly at the bar of his native
state and his bent led him early into
politics.
In 1871 he was made city counsel of
Paterson and in 70 was elected to the
state assembly, of which body he was
chosen speaker in the following year.
Even during these early years he dis
played that accurate knowledge Of men

ability which were the key of his later
success, both in business and politics.
At the end of his second year in the as
sembly ne retired to devote himself to
the law and to the numerous business
interests with which he had become
identified. But the demands of his
party would not admit of his remaining
long in private life and in 1876. he was
elected to the state senate OF which
body he was chosen president III 1881.
During his service in the senate he
was chairman of the judiciary commit

Gres of Importance which are now on
the statute books of the state of New
Jersey. His party became more and
more exacting in its demands upon him.
He was recognized as a safe and guild

a the head of the state Republican or
ganization of New Jersey and as such
planned some of the most brilliant cam

H Nudge Who VIII Become Manager of the Santa Fe Railroad

nearer together Mr. Nudge is a Santa
Fe man. During the q years Of his
railroad experience he has never work
ed on another road. He has passed
through all the various stages of the
operating department from the insig-
nificant position OF water boy to gang
of section men, and he knows exactly
what the men of the various depart
nentS have TO contend with. This per
sOnaI knowledge is what made him an
excellent division superintendent and
remarkably popular general superin-
tendent.
The term .'self-nade man. is almost
too antiquated and steretoyped for
modern use, but it is q term that is
wholly appropriate in relation to the
Santa Fe general superintendent. It
was H. Z. Nudge, who by sheer perSe-
verance, raised the water boy to one of
the most prominent positions in the
railroad world In may have been
necessity, or it may have been anaturaI
inclination to take up that kind OF
work, which was the deciding influence
in securing for Mr.. Nudge the position
of water carrier to a section gang of
wOrkmen engaged in the construction
of the Santa Fe west of EmpOria That
was in 1872 and he was then Is years of
age. For an entire summer he admin
istered to the thirst of the labOrerS but
as a natural consequence found himself
out of employment At that time there
was a man named E r. Bartlett acting
as agent and operator for the Santa Fe
at CarbOndale. He took liking to young
Nudge, and when he quit his job as
water carrier. expired by limitation, he
gave him work at Carbonate. What
Bartlett did not care to do in his posi-
ton as agent and operator Nudge did.
and the agent and his assistant proved
such good friends that for over three
years the future general superintend-
ent remained at Carbondale.
During the three years at the small
Santa F'e station young Nudge was not
idle in his spare moments and with
the assistance of Bartlett picked up the
art of telegraphy. When he left there

a BUSY LIFE.
The Vice President Was Successful in
Business and in Politics.

New York. Nov. 21-Garret A Hobart
was eminently successful both in busi-
ness and politics His reputation as a
man of affairs and one of the
Shrewdest business men in the country
was perhaps greater than his reputa-
tiOn as political leader and statesman

three years ago
Mr.. Hobart was born in 1874 at Long
Branch. \. J. His ancestors on MS
fathers side were English and on his
mothers side Dutch. Thirty-three
years ago he was graduated from Rut-

he left to take a position as operator
at a small station. From that time on
his railroad career represents gradual
rise.
At the end of two years he resigned
his position as operator 10 become a
brakeman and baggageman. He stuck
to this for a year only, for at that time
efficient help was in demand on the
Santa Fe and Mr.. Nudge proved him
self so capable in the train service that
he was made a. conductor. His first
service was in freight and later he was
given a passenger train, continuing as
a conductor for seven years.
Mr.. Mudge's next service was train
dispatcher. From this position he was
promoted to be roadmaster, and later
was made trainmaSter. Then he became
assistant division superintendent. and
in 1898 was made superintendent of the
Rio Grande division Later he became
superintendent of the western division
At that time the Santa Fe road proper
was divided in two grand divisions the
eastern and western, and for a year,
up to June 10. 1894 Mr.. Nudge was sup
erintendent of the western grand di-
vision. On that day he assumed the
position of general superintendent OF
the eastern grand division with head
quarters in Topeka. and continued in
the position up to February, 1896, when
the grand divisions were abolished and
he was made general superintendent OF
the Santa Fe road proper.
Probably no general manager in the
country started at as low q round OF
the ladder as Mr.. Nudge.
A Santa Fe official who is intimately
acquainted with Mr.. Nudge writes OF
him as follows:
Mr.. Nudge is a man whose gauge
cannot be taken in a curSOry survey
While he impresSeS a stranger at once
as being a man of superior intelligence,
he grows as the measuring process pro
ceedS. AS he has worked his way step
by step through the intricacies of rail
road advancement. he has familiarfzed
himself with the many vicissitudeS the
various phases of railrOading present,
hence his fellow feeling for the men
who struggle with the environments
surrounding them. Employees cherish
his goodwill and fear his displeasure-
Mr.. Nudge is happily possessed of the
qualities which command not only the
respect but the better impulses of all
the men on the line. He meets them on
equality, but with only one maxim, duty
to the company "
Mr.. Nudge is courteous and accom-
modating. His popularity among the
employees and the officials of the Santa
F'e is deserved. His choice as general
manager is an excellent one, and the
Santa Fe anagemenu may feel sure of
general approval in making it.
Who will succeed Mr.. Nudge as gen
eral superintendent is a question. In
natural succession, the place would fall
to Mr.. Avery Turner, now assistant
general superintendent. Mr.. Charles
Dyer formerly general superintendent
of the western grand division and now
superintendent of the western division

NV YORK, May "a Through a de-

from the Orinoco river to the Itimaca

The company, believing that the con-

mining operations.
English iron manufacturers were
looking for iron ore deposits and they
were attracted to the region of the
Orinoco. The Raleighsyndicate sought
to gain possession of the land claimed

M1NNEAPoL1s. May o2.-Dr. A. T. Nc
Gitfert. Of the Union Theological SEM
mary. by letter presented his compli-
ments to the Presbyterian General As
sembly. and refused to comply with its
request of last year. The request was
that he should modify his attitude on
doctrinal matters expressed in his
christian Church in the Apostolic
Age" or else withdraw from the church.
Instead of modifying his views he de-
clares that he is in accord with Presby-
terrain doctrine on all vital points and,
far from withdrawing. he declares that
he cannot withdraw. The language of
the letter is SO courteous that many Of
the conservatives in the assembly joined
the liberals III applauding it when the
stated clerk had read it. not understand
ing that Dr.. McGitfert had refused the
most courteous bidding of the church.
The letter was a surprise because it was
believed that it would be satisfactory.

declared DR.. Wallace Radcliffe. chair
man, Will pass upon the letter. An in
duential member of the committee adj
units that the letter is

except for its courtesy. But in spite OF
the spirit, the committee and the whole
assembly is satisfied that it is hard to
say what will be done. Everybody is
tired Of heresy quarrels and factional
troubles. There will be a careful con-
sideration by the committee and a heat
ed debate. in the assembly whatever the
report. DR.. George W. F. Birch of
New York, who instisated the proceed
ings against DR.. Briggs and tried 70
keep DR.. McGitfert out Of the New
York presbytery, will take up the cud-
gels against DR.. McGiffert. In the end
the assembly will either reassert its po-
,itlon Of last year and let the matter
drop or else recommend the New York
presbytery to take up the question of
expulsion of DR.. McGitfert, which means
a heresy trial.
Most Of the morning was devoted to a
discussion OF the report of the commit
tee on ministerial relief. At present
Presbyterians give only CD cents per
capita annually for this purpose, which
was shown TO be far % little.
