more apparent, and soon after mid
night Monday night Hobart became
unconscious. He remained in that con-
ditiOn until his death. Hobart's death
was due directly to angina pectOris,
cOmplicating myocarditis.
Funeral Is To BE Quiet.
Owing to the prOStratiOn of Mrs. HO-
bart the funeral arrangements will not
be completed until today. The only
step decided upon is that the services
shall be held in the Church of the Re-
deemer at Paterson, and the interment
in the family plot at Cedar Lawn,
where the only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hobart was buried six years ago.
Rev. DR.. Magee will preach the SER
mon. The church can accommodate not
more than 800 persons, and as thou
sands will be eager to attend the Serv-
ices it was suggested that they be held
i'll the armory, which will accOmmO-
date 10000 persons. 1t is known,
however, that Mrs. Hobart wishes the
funeral to be as quiet as possible, and
there is little likelihood that the pro-
gramme will be changed.
Many Messages of Coincidence.
The mayor and aldermen of Pater
son have suggested that the body lie in
state at the city hall on Friday or Sat-
llrday morning, and this suggestion
will probably be carried out. Nearly
all the representatives of foreign ma
tons in this country have sent mes
SageS of sympathy to Mrs. Hobart.
One of the first to express his sorrow
at the death of the vice president was
President Mckinley, who had been no
titled by telephone by Private Secre-
tary Evans. Attorney General Griggs,
who was in Washington, telegraphed
that he would return to Paterson at
the earliest possible moment, and he is
expected to take charge of all the de-
tails of the funeral. Among others who
sent messages Of coincidence were Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador; Count G. de Litchervelde, Bel
gian minister; Count CasSini, Russian
ambassador; former Vice President
Stevenson; Senator Hanna, of Ohio;
General Russell A. Alger, Senator For
aker and Senator Fairbanks.

ence to the house committee were

The death of Vice President Hobart
naturally recalls the death of Vice
President Hendricks who expired sud-
denly of paralysis of the heart, No. %.
1885. The news of Hendricks death
was received in Washington late on
the afternoon of Nov. %. President
Cleveland was at dinner when the
news was brought to him by Secre-
tary Lamont. Notices were sent at
once to all the members of the cabinet
and a special cabinet meeting was
held that night. President Cleveland S
first act was to dispatch a telegram of
coincidence to Mrs Hendricks, after
which a proclamation was prepared
making an official announcement Of
the vice presidents death to the pub
lie, establishing usage which was fol-
lowed yesterday by President McKin-
ley.
