Carrot Augustus Hobart -presi-

this morning. In him the nation has
lost one of its most illustrious citizens
and one of its most faithful servants
His participations in the business life
and the law making body of his native
state was marked by answering fidel-

attachments, and his too brief career as
vice-president of the United States and
president of the Senate exhibited the
loftiest qualities of upright and saga
cious statemenship.
In the world of affairs he had few
equals among his contemporaries. His
private character was gentle and noble.
He will long be loved by his friends as
a man of singular purity and attrac-
'tiveness whose sweetness of disposition
won all hearts while his elevated pur
poses, his unbending integrity and
whole-hearted devotion to the public

respect and esteem.
In Borrowing testimony of the loss
which has fallen upon the country, l
direct that on the day of the funeral
the executive offices of the United
States shall be closed, that all posts
and stations of the army and navy
shall display the nationtl flag at half
mast, and that the representatives of
the United States in foreign countries
shall pay a tribute to the illustrious
dead for a period of 80 days.
In witness whereof, I have set my
