C VICE PRESE HOBART'S :.RIENDS ARE UNEASY His Condition Is Such as to Cause Grave Fears. A CHANGE FOR THE WORSE Ret!cence is Observ 1 by "Members of the Distinguished Patient's Family With Respect to Alarmlug Reports Now Current. PATTERSON, N. J., Oct. S0.-There was considerable anxiety among the in timate friends and neighbors of Vice President Hobart over a report that Mr. Hobart, who has been in poor health, had taken a change for the worse in the last 24 hours. It was said that the vice president passed a tad night and was quite weak today. At the Hobart residence the usual re ticence was observed by Mr. Hobart's secretary and the servants. The only information that could be obtained there was that there had been no alarming change in the vice president's condition in the last day or two. The representative of the family who answered the calls of newspaper men at the house, speaking in a guarded way, said that he did not consider there had been any material change in Mr. Ho bart's condition and that he was quite comfortable today. Brigadier General Congdon of the National guard of New Jersey and an intimate friend of the vice president said today that Mr. Hobart's condition was such as to cause grave fears in the family. At 2 p. m. Mr. Hobart, though still conscious, was believed to be sinking. Dr. William Newton, the family physi cian, Mrs. Hobart and the nurses are constantly at the vice president's bed side. INSURANCE AS COMMODITY. Supreme Court Fixes the Negotiable Status of Life Polices. ATLANTA, Oct. 30.-The commercial value and negotiability of life insurance policies were the subjects Saturday of decisions in the supreme court of the state. In one case it was decided that, "while a valid contract of insurance cannot lawfully be taken on the life of another by one who has no insurable interest therein, yet, as one has an insurable in terest in his own life, he may lawfully procure insurance thereon for the bene fit of any other person whose interest he desires to promote. A contract so en tered into is in no sense a speculative one." In another case in which the assign ment of an insurance policy was at stake, the supreme court held that a creditor of a person having his life in sured, who takes an assignment of the policy to secure his debt, is only enti tled to retain, after collecting the policy, such an amount as is sufficient to pay the debt, together with all advances the creditor has made to keep the policy in force."

They Obtain Control of the Walker County, ANa., Mines. Bl.MINGHAm, Ala., Oct. 28. - The Knights of Labor have scored a signal victory over the United Mine Workers and have practically obtained control of the Walker county coal mines, among the most important in the district. The fight was in reality a contest for recog nition at the hands of the big operators and proved a battle royal, in that its loss to the United Mine Workers meant a slau in the face for that organization. which heretofore practically controlled all the coal mines in the state. The test was made at the mines of the Galloway Coal company, which by reason of its capacity fixes the scale for the smaller operatives. Demands for recognition were made on the company by the officers of both orders and after a conference with the officers President Galloway addressed a communication to Uaster Workman A. J. O'Keefe of the Knights of Labor recognizing his men. The Walker county mines employ be tween 1,200 to 2,000 miners and is an important factor to the labor situation. UNIVERSITY FACULTY MET.

The lleaviest Thing in tliC World. The heaviest thing in the world is the metal osmium, the bluish white metal with violet luster which Mr. Smithson Tennant discovered 90 years ago in the residue from dissolved platinum ores. This metal has a specific gravity of k2. 477; that of gold being 19.265; lead, 11.367; iron, 7.79, and lithium, the lightest, only 0.594. The French chemist, Joly, determined that osmium is likewise the most in fusible of metals. It coud never be made to yield to the oxyhydrogen flame which makes platinum and irridium run like water, but Joly has been sub jecting osmium to the exclusively high temperature of the electric arc which Moissan has of late employed successful ly in the manufacture of diamonds. Under this fierce heat the rare metal, ruthenium, which used to be deemed all but infusible, readily melts, but osmium remains refractory, there being ajoarent ly only the faintest traces of fusion. On this account osmium cannot be prepared in sufficient quantities to make it very useful in the arts, but its alloy with ir ridium, which defies the acids, is of some value, nothing better having been found wherewith to tip gold pens. Be ing nonmagnetic, its employment for the bearings of the mariner's compass has been advocated.-Popular Science Monthly. A Shower of Hats and Shoes. Charles F. W. Mieglatz contributes "A Boy's Recollections of the Great Chicago Fire" to St. Nicholas. Mr. Mieglatz says: Once, for a few minutes, I thought it was all over with me. The flames sprang from the middle of the block, on the east side of Wells street between Washington and Randolph, to the mid dle of the block between Randolph and Lake streets. Here a remarkable thing happened. At the northwest corner of Wells and Lake streets I stopped for a moment to catch my breath and to look back. At the southeast corner there was a boot and shoe shop, which had a glass front on the rear alley, similar to that on the street front, but not so elab orate. The fire struck this alley front with a force that swept the boots and shoes through the shop and into the street in a flash. A tongue of flame shot out, rolled across the street and kindled a tar kettle and a barrel, such as pavers use, bringing with it a shower of boots and shoes. Almost at the same instant the fire threw itself against a hat fac tory, a few doors east of the boot and shoe shop. It hit the rear of the build ing with the same impelling force, and the bats flew up into the air like spray. Our Immense Railway System. The railway system in the United States employs 36,000 locomotives, 26, 000 passenger cars and 8,000 mail and baggage cars. These figures seem large till the number of freight cars is stated, which is 1,250,000. A passenger train consisting of locomotive, tender, bag gage and six passenger cars, with their contents, is estimatd to weigh about 184 tons. Freight trains sometimes reach a weight of 550 tons. An ordinary passenger car costs from $4,000 to $5, 000 and a sleeping car anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000. The system, with its gigantic equipment, is practically tho growth of a single generation. With the additions of another quarter or half a century posterity ought to stand and gaze at its stupendous proportions. But it will probably be gradually educated out of all its capacities of wonder, as we have been out of many of our own. New York Tribune. The Overruling of a Judge. A judge the other day awoke in the night to find his room in the possession of two armed burglars. Covered by the pistol of one of the marauders, the judge watched the proceedings with his usual judicial calm. One of the depredators found a watch. "Don't take that, " the judge said, "it has little value and is a keepsake." "The motion is overruled, " replied the burglar. "1 appeal," rejoined the judge. The two burglars consulted, and the spokesman then replied: "The appeal is allowed. The case coming on before a full tribunal of the supreme court, that body is of the unanimous opinion that the decree of the lower court should be snestained, and it is accordingly so ordered." Pock eting the watch, court adjourned. Houehold Words. Looking Forward. Diggs-Do you know whether Alder man Blank still has his office on the second floor of the Cloudland building or not?
