I have come from Washington to Pater- son to give you some information about the new Vice President of the United States. the home of Garret A. Hobart.

Now I want to know whether you think your college education had much to do with your success.” “I don't know whether it had or not,” replied the Vice President. “I have no abt it had something to do with it, but the trouble with my education was’ that I entered class when I was fifteen at eighteen.

As it is 1.0w it seems to me that I have forgotten all of my studies and I think it would be much better if I had been held back.” “At what age should a young man enter college?" “I don't think he should be allowed to begin his college course uniil he is seven- teen. This would allow him to graduate at twenty-one or twenty-two, which is quite soon enough.” “But, Mr. Hobart, is twenty-two not too late to begin business? Ought not some of Mrs. Garret A. Hobart. that time be taken for business training? Do not college boys start life behind their fellows who have gone into business?” “I think not.” repliel the Vice President. “A college life fits a man for business. It shows him how to concentrate his ener- gies and though he may lag behind at tie start if he has any good stuff in him he is sure to come to the front. In my business I want the best educated man every time. I find [ can get more out of such men.” “What did you do after you left college, Mr. Hobar “My first work was school teaching, was the reply. The little country school where I taught was a mile and a half frem my father’s house, and I rode there and back every day on one of my father’s horses. “How did you like teaching “Very much, but I did not stick at it long. I taught’ only three months and then came here to Paterson ‘o study law.” “Yes, it seemed to me that it paid very well. I got $110 for my three months’ teach'ng. The scholars each paid me $1 a month, and I had to collect my salary. When I counted up my money at the close I remember I had $110 and it seemed a lot of money at the time.” y Hobart Became a Lawycr. “What made you choose the law asa pro- n, Mr. Hobart?” ere is quite a romantic story connect- ed with that,” replied the Vice President. “I studied law with Socrates Tuttle, who was one of the well-known lawyers of New Jersey. Mr. Tuttle and my father were boy frien They sat on the same bench when they went to school together in New Hampshire, and after they had finished their schooling they both taught school. My father came to New Jersey to take charge of a school here, and he liked so well that he sent back for his old friend to come down and teach also. Mr. Tuttle came and taught school for a while. He then gave up teaching, studied law, and settled down here in Paterson to practice. His friendship with my father, however, continued, and he was elrecdy a lawyer of quite a large practice at the time I was about to be born. Just about this time he isiting my father, and the two in dis ing the coiminz event of my birth #ereed that if 1 should be a boy I shoud fo into his office as a law student as soon as I finisaed school and should eventually perhaps become his partner. Well, this was what actually happened, and it was on ac- count of this ante-natal contract that I left my school teaching for the law.” “Do you remember your first law case, Mr. Hobart?” “I can't say that Ido,” was the reply. “T studied law three years before I was ad- mitted to the bar, and in my connection Vice President at the Age of Twelve. with Mr. Tuttle I was given work to do al- most from the start. During my first year I made about $1,800, the second year I did much better, and my business Increased as long as I practiced.” ; I have so much other busines to do that I cannot. I am interested in many in- stitutions and corporations, and I devote my time to them.” What do you think of the law as a field for young men?” “I think it is a good one. There vrill al- ways be courts and always be law busi- ness.”” “But is it as good as it was twenty years 2go0?” “No, not in many respects. The law business of today, like all other businesses, ‘a divided up into branches and sp: cialties. There are real estate lawyers, criminal lawyers, corporation lawyers, &c. A man becomes noted for one thing and he gets his business along that line. The chances for the general practiiioner. are not nearly so good as they were in the past. “Your work has been largely that of a corporation lawyer?" “Yes, very largely so.” “I suppose that the pay in such cases comes largely trom the stock given in the ations organized?” it is a legitimate business. are direct.” Advice to Young Men. “Mr. Hobart,” said I, “you are a success- ful man. You have made what is consid- ered a large fortune, and you have attain- ed to what is next to the highest position in the United States. Can't you give me some advice for the young men of today, What should a young man do to succeed?” “I have often thought of that,” replied the Vice President. “Success is not hard to attain. I believe that any young man can succeed if he will rigidly observe two rules. One is to be at all times stretly honest and the other is to be Industrioue and economical.” “But after all, Mr. Hobart, are not great meney makers born rather than made?” “Yes, that is to séme extent so,” was the reply. “Still it Is easy to see how many men fail. They scatter their ener- gies and their investments. Because a thing dees not turn out as well as they thought {t would, within two or three months, they give it up. ‘They have not faith in their own judgment. They don’t keep at it and make their licks tell. As for me success has not been difficult. I have never known what it was to be hard up for money, nor have I tried to make money by any cheese-paring economy. There is one principle, however, that I have stuck to, and that is to spend less thar. I made. I did this when I began my work and I do it today.” “Do you keep close accounts of such mat- ters?” “Yes, I have always done so. I mean of what I hav apg ee careful accosts of what spend. have still the books of my first receipts as a lawyer.” your work, Mr. Hobart? The fees “How about You manage large institutions, you have not worry think is a good one. I will not do boys’ work. I never copy nor mat! my own let- ters; I use a stenographer whenever I can, and I save my strength for the things which I have to do.” “How about the chances for fortune making today? Are they as good as they were when you started life?” “I think they are,” replied the Vice President. “We are on the edge of great changes in many lines. Look at the elec- trical possibilities of today. What a field there is in electricity for fortune making in the future. There is no telling what it will not accomplish or what changes it may not muake.”” “But how about corporations and aggre- gations of capital, Mr. Hobart? Don't they make it impossible for a poor man to climb up?” “No,” was the answer. “The rich man of today is the poor man of tomorrow. Fortunes are accumulating and disinte- grating all the time. There are thousands of men making fortunes today. There are thousands who will lose them tomorrow. It is brains and work that tell. It has al- Ways been so and it will always be so.” “Then you don’t think we will ever have @ party of the rich and a party of the poor in this country?” . “No, I do not. Amarchy and the Anarchists. “How about Paterson? This is a great manufacturing place. You must have Many poor people here.” ‘We have some.” ‘Have you any anarchists?” ¥es, we have some of them, too. They are to be found among the French dyers employed in the silk mills. You see this town is the Lyons of America. We make here, I venture, fifty million dollars’ worth of silk a year. The raw silk is imported from China and Japan, and these men dye it to increase its weight and color. It may surprise you that a good deal of the weight of silk comes from the dye. The finest of the black silks are more than half dy Weil, these dyers are in a certain sense skilled laborers, but not those poss the highest skill. There are some 3 chists among them, but the proportion in comparison with the number of laborers we have is not large.” “Do you apprehend any troubie in the fu- ture from anarchists?’ “There may be trouble, but I think the sober sense of the American people will always predominate. Only the smallest proportion of our great wealth Is beld by Garret A. Hobart, jr., Aged Twelve. millionaires. Our people are all zapitalists in a small way. The moment a man has a little money ahead he becomes a capitalist, and the number ia men increases Ses I suppose you have some evidence of that in your savings bark here?’ “Our de- posits here amounz to more than five mil- lion dollars, and we have more than nine- teen thousand depositors. It is among such men that a great par. of the capital of this country is held, and the nard times which we have been having have largely come from these people withd-awing their money frem circulation on account ef the uncer- tainty as to the money standard. Our withdrawals began here just after the con- ventions. The people got the idea that sav- ings banks were not safe, and they quietiy began to take away their moncy. They pretended it was only for their expenses, but it was really bee: they were afraid. Why, we had withdrawals here at the rate of five thousand dollars a day rizht aleng from the time of the convention up to the election. It was only after McKinley was elected that they began to bring the money lack, and now our deposits are just about equul to our drafts.” The Times Improving. “How about the times; are they really getting better?” “Yes, they are undoubtedly improving,” replied the Vice President. “Money is coming back into the New York banks at the rate of $10,000,000 a week. Within the past eleven weeks $110,000,000 have been Geposited. You could never borrow money as cheaply as you can now, provided you have good security. Why, you can get it in New York now for two and one-half per cent a year. It is true the bankers will not lend it at that to the west, for they fear the danger of repudiation. New York capital is now very distrustful of the west.” improvement continue?’ I “win asked. “I think so, without a doubt,” replied Mr. Hobart. “With the inauguration of a new tariff lew which will be passed and with the making of the duties on goods specific and not ad valorem the times will grow much better, and I believe that we are about to enter upon an era of great prosperity.” “How do you look upon your work at Washington, Mr. Hobart? Do you appre- hend any trouble in fulfilling the duties of a Vice President?” “I see no reason to fear,” replied the Vice President-elect. I don’t think the position is a difficult one to fill. You see, I haye had some experience. I was speaker of the New Jersey legislature for two terms and after that president of the senate. I apprehend that the work of presiding over the United States Senate will not be much more difficult than that of presiding over the New Jersey legislature.” “You have been in politics more or less all your life, have you not, Mr. Hobart?” “Yes,” was the reply, “but not in the sense of being in it as a business. Politics has always been a side issue with me. My partner, Mr. Tuttle, was an old politician and was close in the counsels of the party, and this threw me in politics as a young man, and I have never gotten out. I was elected prosecuting attorney when I was quite young. I was the youngest member of the legislature at tne time of my first election, and I have had more or less to do with alding in the management of the party for years. I have long been a member of the ‘national committee and have always done my part in politics.” Politics for Young Men. “Do you think a young man ought to take part in politics?” “E believe that every American citizen should do so. The salvation of our country, in fact, rests upon our young men, They should take part in all elections and es- pecially should they attend the primaries. it is there that the chief chances for fraud are, and the more we pay attention to the ars elections the purer will our politics “Aside from the duty of every man to take part in politics, Mr. Hobart, do you think it pays?” “Yes, I do,” replied the Vice President- elact. “It gives a man new acquaintances and brings him into contact with business men and with those upon whom he has to depend for his living. It identifies him with the community in which he lives and it ts in all ways @ good thing.” ‘The.Troubles of a Vice President. the want money to sen€'them to sctiool, and a New Orleans girl writes to the extent of thirty pages, asking that she be sent $10,- 000 to be used in completing her musical education, and requgsting that Mrs. Hobart telegraph her at oyee how soon she can have the money. en there are. letters from widows who heed support. There are letters from veters who have mort- gages which they wet lifted and, queerest of all, there came t @ pathetic appeal from a girl in the cohtry for $8, to be used. to buy her a set of"false teeth. She writes that she has three &tsters, and that they all have false teeth, and that she needs the same in order that'ehe may appear as well as her sisters. ThéR ‘there are from seven to eight letters ever# day announcing the births of the finest. babies of the United States, each of whith has been named Gar- ret A. Hobart, and the owners of which each expect a present by return mall. One of the funniest of these has just been re- ceived. It is signed@ by the man and his wife, and states that they afe so poor that they can hardly support themselves. Never- theless a few days ago the Lord added to their responsibilities by sending them twins. One of these they have named Wil- lam McKinley and the other Garret A. Hobart. The couple request that a twin baby carriage be sent them at once, and they close their letter with the pathetic postscript: “We ask this especially as we did not expect twins.” The Vice President’s Home. During my stay here I have spent some time with the Vice President-elect at his home. He lives in an unpretentious-look- ing frame house of three stories on the corner of Carroll and Eilison streets. The house is surrounded by a large lawn, and great elm trees hang over it. Upon en- tering it you are surprised at its size. It has about twenty rooms, all of which are large and well lignted. A wide hail runs through the center. At the right and left there are parlors, and at the back of the right-hand parlor there ts a large library with a picture gallery more than thirty feet long in its rear. The wails of all the rooms are hung with fine paintings, and everywhere about you you see the memen- toes of travel. There are bits of fine art from the different countries of Europe. ‘There are wonderful mosaic pictures from Ita:ry and carvings from the great mas- ters of Japan. There are bits of fine china, a statue or statuette shines out here and there, and the whole house is, in fact, a museum embracing the collections of the Vice President and his family dur- ing their Eurepean travels. Still, with all this, everything is so tastefully arranged that the house is a comfortable home, and, unlike many rich men’s houses, it does not seem too nice to live In. This is chiefly due to Mrs. Hobart, who, by the way, will be an important part of the vice presiden- tial family during the next four years. She was, you know, the daughter of Socra- tes Tuttle, the man with whom Mr. Hobart studied law, and with whom he afterward went into partnership. Mrs. Hobart and her husband were acquainted with each other before they reached their teens. They have been married for a score of years, and their relations are as close to- day 4s they were during their honey- moon. They are both fond of society, and Mrs. Hobart is well fitted to take the place which, owing to the delicate health of Mrs. McKinley, she will probably have of being the leading lady of the coming ad- ministration. Garret A. Hobart, Jr. There is only cne other member of the Hobart family, and he is by all odds tvo important a member for me to leave out of this letter. I refer,to the little boy wh the only child that Mr. Hobart now kas. His daughter, a beautiful girl of twenty, died in Italy about two years a boy’s name is Garret «A. -Hobart, his father and mother, call him short. Junior is just twelve years old. He is a bright little felléw, with a decided taste for mechanics, ‘and what might be called almost a crazeifor electrical work. He has a little jglectrical laboratory in the top of the hovse, and with a boy friend, he has esjablished a partnership for the putting up and repairing of electric bells, electric light id matters of that kind. I don’t thin) 3 father much likes his doing any such work outside of the family, but the box, you know, is an on! child, and ;that es a difference. H really does wonderful work in clectricity. He has put up many pf the elevivic bells in his father’s house, and during my stay he took me up-te bis laboratory and show- ed me the diferent electrical machines which ke ha@ there. He has a half horse power electric motor whieh runs his m: chinery, and he has a. large lathe, by means of which he carries’on bis boyish experiments. There are five different lights in the room which he put up him- self, and these range in size from a Little incandescent globe of two-candle power up to a large one of fifty-candle power. After I had admired these he induced me to take hoid of the two handles of his clectric battery and set every nerve in my body to quivering until I persuaded him to turn off the current. He showed me some tra: parencies which he made to be lignted in honor of McKinley's election, 4d upon leaving handed me a couple of his Lusiness ecards for my friends. FRANK G. CARPENTER. ——>- You Can Have Your Eye Tattooed. From Answers. The latest discovery of scientific medical men is that the human eye may be tattooed any color. It {!s now quite within the bounds of possibility for doctors to tattoo @ man’s eye bright scarlet or green. Of course, eyes are only tattooed in cases where one of them is blind, and has as- sumed in consequence a peculiar dead and ghastly appearance. An eye in this condi- tion will entirely disfigure a face; but a modern oculist may color one of these “dead” eyes, and restore it to its natural appearance, so that nothing but the clos- est scrutiny can detect the difference be- tween it and its fellow. The operation of. tattooing is performed by first treating the eye with cocaine, until it becomes absolutely senseless to pain. When all is ready, the part to be operated upon is covered thickly with Indla ink of the required color. The tattooing is then performed by means of a little electrical machine which operates a specially made needle. i: ———_+e Written for The Evening Star.

From the Louisville Post, It is not necessary to-go to Timbuctoo ar Chimborazo to see queer sights. They may be seen right here In Louisville, and two of them were scen this morning. At about 9 o'clock people passing alorg Jefferson street stopped and gazed at a spectacle that has not been seen in these parts for some time, certainly. A small, stout man, harnessed to a cazt like a lowly beast of burden, passed down the street. He was oblivious of the attention he wes attracting, and kept his eyes di- rected to the ground, that he might avoid rough places. In the cart sat a woman. She was also unconscious of the attention of the passers, but it was the unconsciousness of self- possession. At times she would look at her husband, for such he was, and then at the crowd, with an air that said ‘That's the way to have 'em trained.” Scattered about the cart and perched in all available places were six small chil- dren. They romped and enjoyed them- selves in the consistent’ style of bappy childhood. The family’s household effects were also himg in and onto the cart. This was the Hawes family, from Onio. Harmon Hawes, the head of the family, was the man in the shafts; Mrs. Hawes, the better half, was the woman who rode: and the six children were six little Hawes They continued down Jefferson street to the city hall. Then Hawes drew around to central station and proceeded ‘o unharness himself. Having done £o, he stretched himself several times, while some of the crowd that had collected listened closely to hear him bray. One fresh party offered him a handful of hay. After he had drawn a few breaths, Hawes told his story to Stationkeeper Basler. He said that two months ago his home in Ohio was destroyed by fire. He had no place to stay and no way to get a fresh start. So he decided to make his way to Nasaville, to be there for the exposition and the revival it is expected to bring. Having no money for transportation and no horse, he determined to act as horse himself. He has drawn this family of seven every bit of the way from Hurly county, travel- ing at the rate of four miles a day. Some one asked him how he made a living for them. In answer Hawes took off his hat and passed it around. He collected 6 cents. The family have been sleeping at nights wherever they could. Sometimes they have been compelled to sleep in the cart. When they reach Nashville they expect to get an engagement with a side show. After a good rest Hawes took his position in harness again, and pro way south, via the 7th street road.
