Havana, Nov. "a. = The workmen's
clubs of Puerto Principe have addressed
a petition to Colonel Moale, the civil gov
ernor, saying that the workmen of Cuba
are accustomed to rely on their own eff
forts, but in the utter absence of work
they are forced to apply to the govern
ment for aid. The working classes rely
on public works for employment, but
these works have recently been curtailed
and many workmen are being discharged.
The petition urges the government to fur
nish work for 1000 men to save them
and their families from starvation, which
would be a bitter end after they have
sacrificed everything for their country.

MR.. HoBART's LIFE.

MR.. HOBART'S LIFE.
In his brief biography, which opens
the Congressional Directory, it is
stated that Mr.. Hobart was born in
Monmouth County, N. j., June 8,
1914. That he entered the Sophomore
Glass of Rutgers College in 1860 and
graduated in 1868 at the age of 49,
1t is modestly related that he taught
school, studied law, was admitted to
the bar in 1869, was clerk for the
Grand Jury in 1866, was City Counsel
of Paterson in 1871, was counsel of
the Board Of Chosen Freeholders in
May, 1879, entered the Legislature of
New Jersey in 1878, was speaker of
the House in 1876, elected to the State
Senate in 1879, elected president of
that body in 1881, and reelected in
1882. He was delegate to the Re-
publican National Convention in 1876
and again in 1880. He was elected
member of the National Committee in
1884 and served continuously until
1896, when he was nominated for
President and duly elected This
is brief summary of Mr.. Hobart's
life, but it does not convey an ade-
quate idea of his achievements in
business, politics, society, or the sue
cess he made of life.
Mr. I0korA xx,ae xNon,11o,,
in his home State, and when called to
national life carried that popularity
into his broader sphere. His name
was first suggested as a Vice -Presi-
Dental possibility soon after the
State election of 1896 at which John
w. Griggs, now Attorney General,
was elected Governor of New Jersey,
and that State landed solidly in the
Republican ranks. The first mention
of his name kindled the fire of en-
thusiasm that spread all over his
home State and led to a concerted,
energetic movement in favor of his
nomination. He was given the credit
for breaking the long line of Demo-
cratic Governors in New Jersey, and
the victory attracted attention all
over the United States, SO that politi-
cal leaders and statesmen everywhere
became acquainted with the ability of
Mr.. Hobart
HOBART'S BUSINESS RECORD.
He was first receiver and afterward
for a brief period president of the
New Jersey Midland Road, which
was reorganized into the New York,
Susquehanna & Western, and was also
receiver of the Montclair Railroad,
the Jersey City & Albany Railroad
and the First National Bank of New
ark. Just a few months before he
was nominated to the Vice Presidency
he was chosen as one of three arbi-
traitors to hear and settle all differ
ences that might arise between the
members of the Joint Traffic Associa-
tion. His business interests were
wide and varied He was president

story familiar to all and while it was
thought for time that he might re-
cover, this hope was not destined to
be realized. Eagerly the public had
watched the daily bulletins as to the
Vice Presidents condition and his
loss is truly mourned by the whole
American people.
Mr.. Hobart's death occurred at half
past eight, and ten minutes later the
sad news appeared on the Chronicle
bulletin board. Throughout the city
flags were f1oated at half mast which
gave the first general intimation here
that the country had lost it's Vice
President. The flags have remained
mp during the time since Tuesday.
Governor Voorhees, issued procla-
nation Tuesday ordering that all
public buildings in the State be
draped and that the flags be displayed
at half mast.
