New York, November 2l.-Garrett A
Hobart, Vice President Of the United
States, died today at his home In P"ter-
son, N. J. The end came at $50 In the
morning and at the bedside were. Mrs
Hobart and Carrot A. Hobart, Jr., to-
ssther with DIR. william h. Newton and
his wife and private secretary, Evaus.
Mr.. Hobsrt's death mad bssn expected
for some hours. The beginning of the end
was yesterday afternoon when there was
O sudden failure of the heart and from
this attack, Mr.. Hobart never rallied.
he has been sick for q long time and had
suffered frequently from heart failure
and his strength had been undermined.
Gradually the failure of the hearts action
became more apparent and 5000 after
midnight last night, Mr.. Hobart became
uncou scious. He remained In that oon-
dition until his death.
Mr.. Hobart's death was due directly to
angina peotoris, oomplioating myocar-
ditis.
Owing to the prostration Of Mrs. Ho-
bart the funeral arrangements will not be
completed until tomorrow. The only step
decided upon is that the service will be
held in the Ch uroh of the Redeemer at
Paterson, and the interment In the
family lot at Cedar lawn. where the only
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Hobart was
buried six years ago.
The Rev. DR.. Magee will preach the
funeral sermon.
The church can accommodate not more
than eight hundred persons, and as
thousands will be eager to attend the SER
vices 1t was suggested that they be held
In the armory. which will accommodate
ten thousand persons 1t ia known. how
ever, that Mrs. Hobart wishes the funeral
to be as quiet as possible and there is
little likelihood that the programme will
be changed. The Mayor and aldermen OF
Paterson have suggested that the body
lie in stats at the City hall on Friday or
Saturday morning and this suggestion
will probably be carried out.
The pail bearers have been selected, but
their names will be withheld until after
they have bsen notified and have ac-
oepted.
Nearly all the representatives of foreign
nations In this country Rave already sent
messages Of sympathy to Mrs. Hobart.
One of the first 10 express his sorrow at
the death Of the Vice President was
President Mckinley who had bssn noti-
lied by telephone by Private Secretary
Evans. Attorney General Griggs, who
-. In washinoton telesraphed that he
would return to Paterson at the earliest
possibls moment and hs Is expsoted to
take charge of all the details OF the
funeral,

In all about i've hundred messages Of
sympathy were received by Mrs. Hobart.
Although many regarded Mr.. Hobart's
illness In the early and latter part Of the
summer as serious, II was not until late
in October that his family and friends
began to despair of his life. Mr.. Hobart
was then In formed OF the fatal character
of his malady-dilated right heart, due to
myocarditis-And he remarked: "Wen.
II 1t must be that am to go. I may as
we'll be resigned to my fate"
On the mornin of October 3ist 1t was
thought that the end had come, but the
patient rallied and more than q week CON-
tiuusd to improve and to eat solid food
with relish.
Three days ago, however, his appetite
failed and he gradually grew weaker and
weaker. He realized few hours before
he became unconscious that he was near
to death aud he sail to those about the
bedside: "I know that my time Is near
iy up, but death Is welcome to me-"
Mrs. Hobart remained In the room to
the end and after her husbands death
until she and her son, who was with her.
were taken away by friends.
The last change for this worse In the
vics Presidents illness was observed
yesterday afternoon when he was visited
with weak spell. He had battled
through several similar attacks and it
was thought for a time that he would
oome out Of this ono He did but he was
very weak and It was plain to be seen
that he was sinking. He rallied again,
however, tried to be cheerful, but toward
midnight his condition was beyond hops.
Dr. Newton called Mrs. Hobart and the
Vice Presidents son and Mr.. Newton
and with the nurse they gathered closer
to the bedside Of tine dying man. NOW
and again the patient rallied and in these
moments spoke to his wife and son. What
he said is known only to them. Shortly
bsfore twelve O'Clock the Vios President
was again stricken with an attack Of
angina peotoris and following this he
lapsei into a state OF uneonsoiousness
from which he never again emerged.
During the early hours this morning
Mr.. Hobart seemed to suffer. but during
what appeared to be bright moments Mrs.
Hobart spoke to him. de did not recog-
nizs her, however, nor any one else In the
sick room.
The Vice Presidents death was great
shock to the people of all New Jersey and
New York. and expressions Of profound
regret were heard when the sad news was
reported. Flass were lowered TO half mast

announcement from Durham that COM

seems to confirm the belief that Boer
commando has established itself at Will
low Grange or near the Mooi river and
has cut the telegraph wires. 1t is certain
that, owing to the heavy work OF debark-
alton and entrnining at Durham, the
preparation for the advance Of the relief
force are In no wise 20 advanced as had
been supposed. On the other hand the
oelsrity with which troops are being
pushed forward from Cape Town equally
tends to show that all such preparation
regarding forage sad provisions were
well advanced before the troops arrived In
