HOBART BURIED.
Laid away with the last Honors
on Saturday Afternoon.

Saturday afternoon the funeral of
the late Garrett A. Hobart, vice
president of the United States took
place in Paterson, New jersey. He
was buried at o'clock. From two
until four while the funeral was in
progress all governmental affairs
over the country were suspended
and this suspension affected US To-
cally through the postoffice. This
was done as mark of respect to his
memory.
The funeral was very imposing
one and was attended by marks OF
esteem rarely shown. Funeral trains
were run from Washington and the
President, members of the cabinet
and many other officials of the gov
eminent attended the last rites over
the departed.
By the death of Mr. Hobart the
office of vice president of the United
States becomes vacant for the rest of
President McKinley's term, as the
law provides no succession. A pres
ident pro tempore of the senate may
be elected by that body when con-
gres ASSEMBLIES who will hold Office
until March, 1901.
Vice President Hendricks expired
suddenly, of paralysis of the heart,
Nov. 25, 1885. At the time the ques
ton of the succession to the presi
dency had not been settled by law,
although Senator Hoar's bill provi
ding for the presidential succession
through the cabinet had been sub
mitted on Dec. 4, 1883, and had re-
NAMED Enacted on.
The law was enacted Jan. l9, 1886,
by the 49th congress, first session.
The main features are as follows:
''Be it enacted, etc, that in case
of removal, death, resignation or in
ability of both the president and
vice president of the United STATES,
the secretary of state or --
secretary of the treasury,or --
secretary of war, or -- attor
ney general, or -- postmaster
general, or secretary of the
navy, or - secretary of the
interior shall act as president until
the disability of ehe president or
vice president is removed, or pres
ident shall be elected
The law further provides that
when one of the above cabinet off
GERS succeeds to the presidency, he
shall call a special session of con-
gress 4 proviso limits the success
sion to those who would be eligible
to the presidency under the terms
of the constitution, and who have
been appointed with the advice
and consent of the senate.
The effect of the law is not to pro-
vide a succession to the vice presi
dencv, but merely to ensure a sue
cession to the presidency.
By the death of Mr.. Hobart, Sen
ator William p Frye, of Maine, be
comes president pro tempore of the
senate and will discharge the duties
of the vice president as tpresid-
ing officer of that body. The senate
rules specifically provide that no
election is necessary at the begin
ming of the session. Senator Frye
accordingly will continue as pre-
siding officer till the end of Presi-
dent McKinley's administration, UNI
less he chooses to resign or the SEN
ate wishes to elect another senator

An Australian Riding Outfit.

The Australians outfit is an adapta-
ton of the Briton's. The colonial
saddle grows a peaky pummel and a
high protecting cantle; the mild Eng
lish knee-roll becomes in Australia a
firm, deep, six-inch pad, and even the
back of the thigh is held in place by a
solid flange sewed upon the saddle-fiap.
AS with his saddle, so with the rest of
the stockholders equipment-it is as
the Englishman's, but moulded and
strengthened to sterner usage. The
midland mostly ornamental-hunt-
ing-cap becomes a ten-foot-and ter
ribly effective-stockw whip. The chain,
the curb, the double rein, and all the
more or less fancy attachments are
stripped from the bride in favor of
the simple snaffie, and a head-piece
and single rein of leather so substan-
tial as to defy the roguery or terror OF
any ordinary horse to break them.
Crupper, breastplate, martingale-
these are used or left aside, according
to the build, tricks, and temper of the
mount, with a single eye to usefulness,

Chicago Preacher Sees in kissing Bug" the.
Locust Swallowed in Book of
Revelations

A new and terrible significance is
attached to the advent of the kissing
bug" by Professor A. NJ. Leonard, the
apostle of the Mission of the Messen-
ger of Truth, in Chicago. In a recent
discourse before a large audience the
speaker pronounced the mysterious
picipes to be the veritable locust which
the book of Revelation says shall come
from the bottomless pit, attack men
with the sting of the scorpion, from
the effects of whose bite the victim
shall linger five months, and which
fastens itself upon those whose fore
heads do not bear the seal of the Lord.
He read extensively from the book
of Revelation, applying each verse to
several recent calamities, such as the
cyclone at St Louis, the sinking of La
Bourgogne, and the tornado in Wis
,consin. Professor Leonard referred to
the historic dark day" of 1898 and the
falling of the stars in 1888 as modern
evidences that prophecies Of the Bible
are fulfilled. In rapid sentences the
speaker then delivered his theory Of
the mission of the kissing bug" You
have all read of this latest mysterious
visitation which has come to the
.earth,' said Professor Leonard-"the
,so-called kissing bug, which stings
men on the lips, and leaves them in
terrible agony. Here is what | take
to be the Biblical prophecy of their
mo ha int oho he
book of Revelation:
And there came out Of the smoke
locusts upon the earth; and unto them
was given power, as the scorpions of
the earth have power
And it was commanded them that
they should not hurt the grass Of the
earth, neither any green thing, neither
any tree, but only those men which
have not the seal of God upon their
fOreheads'
d" And to them it was given that they
should not kill them, but that they
should be tormented five months; and
stheir torment was as the torment of
a scorpion when he striketh man.
This is what is said of the coming
'of the so-called kissing bug in the
Bible. This insect which has stung
men all over the country, and which is
unknown to the scientists
Professor Choate of the Field mu-
scum has said that there has never
tbeen known an instance of the real
kissing bug or picipes, which lives
| lin the South, biting a man. What,
| then, is this mysterious insect but the
| visitation of one of the last of those
torments which the Bible has declared
shall come, and which precedes the
final destruction"
| Professor Leonard then went on to
describe the kissing bug as he has been
described by the several victims, and
read more extracts from the book OF
Revelation showing that the new bug
| corresponded with the fearsome scor-
| spions seen by the apostle John in his
| wonderful vision. Several women in
the audience gave evidence that their

near at hand if a netting prevents
personal caress, just to show there is
no hard feeling, and he keeps up
lengthy mOnologue that were he a dog
would cause the sleepless martyr to
declare that his bark was worse than
his bite. The dog, however, is not to
be left out Of the midsummer nights
reality. He is generally one that sleeps
all day long and bays the moon, wheth-
er there is one or not, from bedtime to
daybreak. An asinine rooster, who
mistakenly regards midnight as morn
ing, adds his note to the voices of the
night, and when poor, tired humanity
thinks at last there is a respite the in
dustriOus running fly begs to differ
with him, thus finishing what Is a
truthful picture of what a midsummer
night is in reality, with apologies to
Shakespeare that there cannot be more

who wrestle with the nightmare

What is the meaning of this gath
ering of nations in the East?" contin-
ued Professor Leonard. 1T means the
time of that last terrible battle is near,
after which the scriptures say that
200,O00,000 angels shall appear and de-
stroy a third of mankind. All the
events which l have related to you
have appeared in exactly the order
they are named in the Bible. If there
had been one lapse in the chain there
would have been room for you to
doubt that the scriptures were being
fulfilled. If the mysterious bug or
reptile had appeared years ago it
would not have had the effect that its
present appearance has when the
forces Of the world are gathering for a
terrible war;
1--WE know from the Bible itself that
the heavens are above us and that the
destroying angel was cast out into the
bottomless pit,which is upon this earth
itself. From this pit shall rise the
source OF destruction of all mankind
Everything has been growing worse
steadily upon this earth until we are
wondering what will come next Chill
