A Conspicuous Public Service.

Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts. in
the course of an eloquent eulogy, said:
There was one conspicuous public serv-
ice rendered by Mr. Hobrat which I
think, has not been understood and GER
tainly has not been adequately appreciate
ed. He restored the vice-presidency TO
Its proper position, and lifted IL up before
the people to the dignity and Importance
which II merits. The decline of the vice.
presidency in political weight and popu-
lar estimation has been an unfortunate
development of the last 20 years In our
regard for that office and in our treat
ment OF II, We have departed utterly from
the wise conception of the founders OF
our government. The trainers of the con-
stitution intended that the yice-president
should be, in all respects, in ability, in
reputation, in weight of character and IN
his standing before the people on a plane

meut.

Washington, Jan. 1i.--Then senate
paid eloquent tribute of respect and af-
lection to the memory of the late Vice
President Garrett \. Hobart.
Mr.. FRYE laid before the senate the
report of the Secretary of the I re1sury
Gage as TO the repositories of internal
revenue funds in various national
banks. Ii was referred TO the finance
committee and ordered printed.
Mr.. Sewell called up the resolution
he had previously offered. providing
that the business of the senate be sus-
pended. in order that the distinguished
public services and private character
of Mr.. Hobart might be fittingly com
memorated. Mr.. Sewell addressed the
senate in beautiful tribute 10 the
dead statesmen. He said in part:
senator sewalrs Tribute.
Mr. Hobart was removed from his
earthly career at an age when the magnIfl-
cent status OF his manhood was reaching
its prime; when the grand elements OF his
character were ripening TO their full de-
velopment, when his great usefulness u
the nation was becoming more and more
apparent. His public duties were marked
by zeal and devotion to the interests OF
Z
THE general welfare rather than the
conserving of private interests engaged
his time and attention. The performance
of his duties as president Of the senate
have ever evoked the favorable crits-
cism of the members OF this body. an
the business and fairness of his rulings
have ELECTED their warmest commenda-
ton. The character OF Mr.. Hobart was
as the open day-neither darkness nor
shadow rested upon it His loyalty tc
truth. his feaity TO dGty. his answering
devotion to the interests of his con-
stituents have carved for him in
the hearts Of men an enduring tablet

maligned and forbade the entrance OF
resentment. His course in life indicated

All. Mr.. President, we need no inspira-
ton to show that so noble a soul can not
taste OF humiliation. Mr. Hobart has
passed to the better and higher life that
lies beyond the confines OF mortaiity-a
life. the span of which, unmeasured bv
the flight of years. is filled with immortal
significance and JOY. The lessons of his
life. whose pleasant remembrances rob
even death of sadness. let us treasure
and may they prove a stimulating infu-
ence in the conduct of our own"

PRODUCT OF. SUGAR WAS LARGE.
Reasons Why Farmers Incline to Go
Slow in the Business-Post-
Office in Bad Shape.

Lansing, Mich, Sept. 1S.-A feature
OF the annual report of the state land
commissioner is the section devoted to
the beet sugar industry. The report
says that at the present time Michigan
stands second as beet sugar produc-
ing state. Last year the production
was 100000 pounds of beet sugar,
although the season was q bad one for
the culture Of beets. The light yield
OF beets was due to several causes, one
being that sugar beet culture was de-
parture from the regular course Of ag-
riculture to which Michigan farmers
were accustomed Mistakes were made
in the selection Of soil. In addition to
these handicaps, the weather was very
unfavorable until the middle Of June.
Effect on the New Industry.
This one bad season was unfortunate
for both farmer and manufacturer,
principally because Of its effect on the
future of the industry. The farmer
who lost money hesitated about again
putting in the crop, while the farmer
who made little money did not make
as much as he anticipated and was
likewise dissatisfied. Owing to delays
in completing the factories, farmers
who did secure crop found it neces-
sary to pit their beets, the factories
not being ready to receive them, and
this pitting was quite expensive. When
the factories were ready the ground
was frozen hard and it was hard job
to get at the beets, and owing to the
bad condition of the roads transporta-
ton was made more expensive.
Crop VIII Be Smaller Next Year.
In view of all these unsatisfactory
experiences it is not to be wondered
that when the farmers were approached
last spring by representatives of the
companies they hesitated about con-
tracing to grow beets again this year.
Some absolutely refused to have any
thing more to do with the crop, others
agreed to grow beets on a smallerscale,
while some new contracts were Sc
cured.

Das Neue Blatt, and while the singer

At another time, while one of his
grand intermezzos was being played
with great feeling by his musicians, a
peculiar noise. hardly perceptible by
unframed ears, annoyed the leader for
some little time. At first he thought
it resembled the futter of wings, but
soon he discovered an elegant lady
tanning herself in one of the boxes
close by. Bulow kept on with his ges-
lures. fixing his eyes on the offender
in a manner which meant reproof. The
lady. not needing this, was suddenly
surprised by the leader dropping his
