Long Career and His Final Sickness.
Universal Sorrow Felt.
PATTERSON, N. j., Nov. 21.-Vice
President Hobart died at $50 o'clock
Tuesday morning.
The Vice President had been fail
ing since late Monday afternoon, all
though the reports given out at the
house we're that he was holding his
own. AT midnight be became un
conscious, and at 7 o'clock Tuesday
morning he had an attack of angina
pectoris, from which he never rallied.
His death followed at $50 o'clock.
The flags on the city and other
public buildings were half-masted
ghen the news OF the Vice Presi-
cents death became known Flags
On many private buildings and
wellings were also hung at half
last. i'he bell on the city hall was
oiled at intervals. The Passaic
ounty court adjourned in token of
aspect to the death OF the Vice Pres
dent.
Although the Vice Presidents
leath had been expected at any time,
here was still faint hope up to the
asst among his personal friends in
'atterson that he would survive for
some time to come. These persons
who had been neighbors and life
ong friends of the Vice President
we're deeply affected over his death
Mr.. Hobart's illness first attracted
public attention when he went to
Long Branch last summer. He spent
portion of the summer there and
during that time had number of
weak spells. 1t was not admitted
shen by his physicians or family
that he was seriously i'll. Although
ne continued in failing health he
was able to drive out and attend the
Long Branch horse show Near the
end of the Long Branch season Mr.
Hobart went to his Patterson home
in company Mrs. Hobart, his son
and secretary.
About month ago Mr.. Hobart's
illness took decided change for the
worse and shortly after that no
tice was issued by Mr.. Hobart's
family to the public admitting that
the Vice Presidents condition was
very critical and that little hope of
his recovery was entertained. The
was also made that
he certainly would never again APP
pear in public life. Mr. Hobart's
family, his personal and intimate
friends and political associates have
since resigned to the inevitable, al
though there were times in the last
few days of the Vice Presidents i'll
ness that he was brighter and APP
peared to be growing stronger This
was especially the case during the
last ten days. His appetite improved
and he was reported to have passed
several comfortable nights On Sun
day there was decidedly unfayora-
BILE change in his condition and he
continued to grow weaker until the
end came oday.
The city council met to-day, and |
as mark of respect to the late Vice
President adjourned, after passing
resolutions expressing regret for the
death of a distinguished fellow citi- !
zen and faithful public servant, and (
