MR.. HOBART's CONDITION.

The Paterson Gail recently received a
letter from the west asking 'sWhat is the
apparent mystery about the condition of
Vice-President Hobart ?" The Gail gives
long interview with the Vice. President
whom all will be glad to know is rapidly
convalescing, and prints the following
Editorial Comment:
All sorts of sensational reports have
been current lately concerning the con-
dition of Vice-President Hobart. That
he has been very sick man was we'll
known, but the stories about his con-
valescence were not only conflicting, but
alarming The editor of the Gail wrote
directly to Mr.. Hobart for facts, and in
the answer was included an invitation
to "come down and see." The receipt
of several letters of inquiry, notably one
from the West which rather reflected
on the Cats enterprise, convinced us
that 1t was good matter to follow mp
as no paper in the country had yet held
an interview with the vice president on
the subject. The interview, as may be
seen by the report in another column,
was very satisfactory in so far as the
health of the vice-president is concerned,
and it ought to be sufficient to put an end
to all the alarming and sensational rumors
that have been in circulation since he
left Washington. The Call representa-
tive came away with the impression that
Mr. Hobart was very promising con-
valescent and that he would soon be as
sound and strong as ever if his friends
will only permit him to secure all the
rest possible during the summer.

ROOSEVELT FOR MCKINLEY.

Governor Roosevelt is, as might have
been expected, thoroughly loyal to
President Mckinley.
At Galesburg, Illinois, after touch
ing reference to General Grants patri-
otism, the gallant leader of the Rough
Riders said
Just at present president from the
West is trying to solve with dignity and
honor the problem of the Philippines
Last year at Santiago my regiment lay
alongside the First Illinois, and side by
side we faced the fever and the dangers
of war. This year the men of Mime
sofa, of Dakota Nebraska, Kansas, Colo
RADIO, and Oregon are side by side facing
these dangers in another war. Woe to
US if we do not uphold them When
face to face with an armed foe we must
know no cleavage Of parties. When
you get down to the water-line the presi
dent stands for all men and no party"
AT Albany Governor Roosevelt spoke
definitely regarding the Republican
nomination next year. AS reported by
the Associated Press he said:
]NSA HOAs III OllC w tSV 10 lOI me-
Kinley's denomination, and l am most
emphatically for his denomination, of
course. | feel that both the extreme
rapidity with which the country has
gone up the path of prosperity under
President McKinley's administration
and the conduct of the war in the Philip
pines, makes it the duty of every man
to stand with it, and renders President
McKinley's denomination a necessity.
We must smash out this instruction
there by force of arms and then we
can make terms of peace"
The bold and magnanimous course
pursued by the Chief Executive of the
Empire State, in refusing to yield to the
suggestions of those who are endeavor-
ing to persuade him to make contest
for the presidential nomination next
year, with undoubtedly view to divid-
ing the Republican party, is sure to
give him a still stronger hold on the af-
fections of the American people.

THE FOURTH IN PORTO RICO.

The Fourth was celebrated at San
Juan de Porto Rico on Tuesday with
great enthusiasm, the events being a
military and civic parade, barbecue.
athletic sports, fireworks and patriotic
speeches. Governor General Davis gave
reception, which was attended by all
the prominent residents.
The Republican party in Porto Rico,
in convention adopted platform and
passed resolution to support the Gov
eminent in every measure tending to
Americanize the island. The conven-
ton also commended the work done in
behalf of the island by Drs. Henna and
Zeno, now in New York.
The celebration of independence Day
and the holding Of the convention
brought to San Juan de Porto Rico from
outside towns about 40, 900 visitors.
What contrast to the Fourth of a
year ago, when the Porto Ricans knew
or cared not what significance this day
had from an American standpoint. War
brings disaster and suffering, but it has
bright side which eventually becomes
manifest. The hitherto ignorant Porto
Rican will live in an era of enlighten-
ment such as he in his strangest dreams
never conjectured, and shall not his con-
dition be improved in this new life? Yet
war was necessary to the attainment of
this end.

THIS ORATOR DID NOT DODGE

Everything had been beautifully plan
ned for Tammany's Fourth of July
celebration.
An Alabama orator had been imported
to launch Presidential boom for Mayor
Van Wyck's brother, Augustus. All the
orators turned their heavy artillery loose
on the trusts"
But when Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas
got up to make speech he remembered
that the Democratic party ran campaign
in 1896 and he spoke right out for free
silver coinage and the nomination of
William J.. Bryan. His remarks were
received with such wild applause as made
the attacks on the trusts and the pane
gyric upon Brother Van Wyck seem weak,
ineffective appeals to the meeting.

"FONETIC."

The superintendent of the Chicago
Public Schools is doing everything in
his power to compel the adoption of his
gibberish in his schools. The following
is fair example of what is being in
fiicted upon the rising generation of the
windy city

will have to endure the reproach of
ignorance. They will be untitled for

FISHY AS WELL AS SNAKY.

About the strangest papers of the
many filed in the Office of the Secretary
OF State for Incorporation is that of "The
Jersey Snake. Frog, Bee and Fur Com
mercial Company" The certificate of
incorporation of the company, capital
stock 1900, is of exceptional interest.
The objects for which the company is
formed are to manufacture from the
raw material certain remedies, and to
sell the same; to gather, harvest, capture
and raise rattlesnakes blacksnakes, cop
perheads and watersnakes, and to raise,
capture and harvest frogs and bees, and
to prepare the same for an article of food
and medicinal remedies, and to raise
gather and harvest cats ndto prepare
the same as an article of food, and to
manufacture the same into medicinal
remedies and to tan the hides and manu-
facture the fur of cats into articles of
apparel, and to raise, capture and propa-
gate turtles, and to manufacture the
same into articles of food, and to prepare
the shells and to sell the same.
AS to snakes President Raub said "The
dry weather is driving the snakes from
their rocky retreats to water, and rich
crop is being harvested. There is a mar
ket for live rattlers, and the firm intends
to conduct experiments to discover cure
for their bites Snakes will be trained
until they become partly domesticated,
and then Sold"
Bees, he said, could be used in scores
of remedies and for other purposes, and
it is expected that once the business is
fairly under way the company will be
enabled to supply frogs legs in oil and
frogs legs steamed and put up in tins,
ready for picnic parties. AS to the use
of turtles President Raub concluded:
The Hunterdon county terrapin is al
ready famous, and Jersey canned terrapin
is to be one of the household dishes when
the Jersey Snake, Frog, Bee & Fur Com
mercial Company gets down to business.

FITTING REWARD FOR A STONE
THROWER.

SUMMING up the reasons which lead
him to ask for the resignation of Game
Protector Charles A. Shriner of Pater-
son, Governor Voorhees, says:
Mr.. Shriner took occasion to abuse
me in every way imaginable, but that
was his privilege. The straw that broke
the camel's back was the slurring COM
ments he made regarding the members
of the State Tax Board, whose duty re-
quired them to act in his own bailiwick
up in Passaic county. 1t seemed to me
that it ill-became State officer to make
such personal comments about the mem
bers of State board, some of whom, at
least, Mr., Shriner could not hold can
die to- wrote to Mr.. rockingham, of
the Fish and Game Commission, inform
ing him that Mr. Shriner must be re-
lieved from duty 1t made no diff
ference to me how it was accom-
plished, and it might be done in a way
to affect Mr.. Shriner's dignity as little as
possible but it must be done. The res
ignation is the result. Mr.. Shriner is
the last man to cast stones at the peo-
ple,'

A MHRITORIOUs WORK.

The publication of "Harper's Pictorial
History of the Civil War" met with I'M
precedented success; and yet, notwith-
standing the stupendous sale of that
work, it is even more highly priced to-
day by subscribers than when it was
first issued, more than thirty years ago.
The permanent value Of vivid pen and
pencil sketches, made on the field by
special artists and war correspondents,
cannot be over-estimated.
AS soon as war with Spain was de-
clared, special artists and correspondents
were engaged to go to the front with
each division Of the army and each
squadron Of the navy, to record and IL
lustrate tragic events Of the war. The
high character of these artists and cor

respondents, the long voyages they were
compelled to make, and the privation
and danger to which they were exposed,
enabled them to command enormous sal
aries. However, this expense was cheer
fully borne, in the firm belief that the
reading public would fully appreciate
the value of an accurate and authentic
history of the war, in which every Incl
dent of note has been faithfully illus
trated by distinguished artists.
"Harper's Pictorial History of the
War with Spain" is work which will
doubtless attain an early and decided
popularity, and which will be result of
an accurate and artistic reproduction of
everything concerning the subject.

TRUE AMERICAN in ERROR.

TIE Trenton True american contends
that good roads do not help the farmers
of New Jersey. What parcel of fools
the True american is making the farm
ers out. In every farming county in
this State Morris, Somerset, Monmouth,
Burlington and all the rest-the farmers,
through their boards of freeholders, are
laying out hundreds of miles of good
roads and imploring the State for the
statutory aid which it has promised
them. The farmers are, in fact, half a
million dollars ahead of the State road
appropriation, and are clamoring for
good roads fromsSussex to Cape May.
Now these farmers have to pay their
share Of the cost of these roads, over and
above what the State pays, and If good
roads do not help them they must be
very foolish to want to pay out good
money for nothing. The facts are that
the True american is altogether wrong.
Good roads are about the best general
Investment the farmers can make. They
save time, expense, wagon wear, harness
and horsehesh in carting farm products
10 market They save taxes in abolish
ing the old system of working the roads
year after year with no permanent re-
suits and no decent roads. They adj

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS
SALARIES.

THE Jersey City Teachers Club has
submitted to the mayor and finance
board schedule of salaries with the re-
quest that it be permanently adopted,
and perhaps it may be of interest to the
public school teachers of this city. The
lowest sum which the Teachers Club
thinks should be paid to any teacher is
$500, and it would make this the mini
mum salary for the first five years.
From five to ten years it thinks the min
imum should be $500, from ten to fifteen
years 800, and from fifteen to twenty
years $500. The lowest for grammar
vice-principals and head assistants is
fixed at $1,000, and for iee-principaIs in
primary department. 5000. These are
suggested as the minimum rates. No
objection will be offered to anything
more than these salariesl Paterson Call,

CONCERNING COUNTY AsYLuMs

Commenting on the care of the insane

county asyIums do not receive the same
care and attention that they do in the
State institutions"

SPAIN learned many things in her
futile war with the United States and
recent events in the former country indi-
cate that she will profit by some of the
wisdom thus acquired. A step in this
direction is noted in the announcement
that the new Spanish war budget pro-
poses to reduce the army from 107 900
to $4,000 men, This, it would seem, is
in the line of sound policy, for it dis
misses nearly 10000 able-bodied men to
peaceful vocations, to help in the indus
trial regeneration of the kingdom. Spain
has no need Of big army now, with the
sloughing off of her foreign possessions
and the natural death to which the Cars
lists seem to have been doomed.

FISH CATCH in CUMBERLAND.

Fish Warden Nichols, of Cumberland
county, has submitted very interesting
report of the shad and sturgeon fisheries
of the county. The report states that
10000 shad were caught at Bay Side.
The number of shad caught in the Co
hansey was about 1000. The sturgeon
fisheries at Bay Side, the report shows,
have had remarkable growth, this in
dustry of late years being of much more
Importance than the shad fisheries. The
Sturgeon Fishermen's Protective Asso-
citation Of New Jersey has invested at
Bridgeton in nets, boats. ETC., capital
amounting to $750,000. During the sea
son 2,161 sturgeon were shipped from
Greenwich Pier and Bay Side, and 900
kegs of caviar were sent away. The
catch of sturgeon has fallen off consider
ably. In 1890 the catch averaged sixty
per net, while in 1898 it was thirteen
and this season it has been only eight to
the net.

COLONIAL DAYS.

Some time ago an interesting discov-
cry was made in the State Library of a
record of claims, presented by residents
of Morris county, for losses sustained by
the Continental army. All patriotic
Americans are interested IN everything
connected with the Revolution, and as
the CHRONICLE has had most to do with
this find, it determined that its readers
should have the benefit of the discovery.
The old, musty papers has been deci-
phered with some difficulty, but they
have fully repaid for all the labor be-
slowed. They are the records of more
than hundred years ago. Apart from
their historic value, they are instructive
as giving glimpses of the mode of life of
those who preceded us by many gene
rations in the march of life; they afford
ideas of the values of articles used in
every day life. The names of those who
are now with us enjoying our respect
and confidence, will be found here, and
among them will be recognized some
who are remembered with respect and
generation.

the records and other extracts will APP

all knowledge of domestic details. They
realize that food is necessary for growth,
repair and energy, and that in order to
insure sound mind in sound body the
proper food must be selected.
People are waking up to a realization
of these facts, and the science of cooking
is now receiving much attention among
intelligent people. Courses in domestic
science are being introduced into girls
