Vice President Hobart died at his
home at Patterson, N. j., Tuesday,
after long illness. He was man
very highly esteemed both for his
ability and his personal qualities. He
and President Mckinley and their
families were on intimate relations.
His death is generally deplored. The
following dispatch from Washington
shows how his death affects the presi-
Dental succession:
By the death of Hobart, the Office of
vice president of the United States be
comes vacant for the rest of McKinley's
term as the law provides no succession.
A president pro-tempore of the senate
will be elected by that body when
congress assemblies, who will hold the
Office until March, 1901, by the law of
the succession to the presidency of the
United States in the event of the
vacancy. falls upon the vice president,
and, in the event of the latter's death,
to the secretary of state. Next in line
being the secretary of the treasury,
then the secretary of war, and down
through the list of cabinet officers in
order of precedence fixed by the act of
congress, when the death of Wee Presi-
dent Hendricks disclosed the necessity
of such provision Senator William
p. Frye, of Maine, is now president
pro-tempore of the senate. He will
call that body to order, when it as
sembles on December 4th. and preside
until q successor is chosen. That he
will succeed himself is generally con-
coded.

population of Audubon county is not so
opposed to imperialism and trusts as
one would naturally suppose. The
several hundred majority in that

cry of Imperialism, which they hoped
would carry them to victory through

Ninth Annual Exhibition to
Be Given in April.

Mr.. Miller. the New President of the

Portrait OF Daniel ~ cbstcr-A Pop
uIar Pupil of UenIcy and Gibson.

At the last monthly meeting of the So
ciety of Washington Artists it was decided
to hold the ninth annual exhibition in the
Connecticut Avenue galleries of the So
ciety in April. The exhibition will open
on the first Monday and continue through
out the month. This is the allimportant
art event of the year, the one exhibition
upon which the art status of Washington
rests. Some of the previous exhibitions
have met with immense success, notably
that given at the Woodward & Lothrop
gallery, which opened with a magnificent
reception. 1t was one Of the most widely
talked-of social events of that year. and
nearly five thousand dollars was paid for
the work of local painters. 1t is expected
that the coming exhibition will be better
than ever and that the full measure of
patronage will be extended to this band
of earnest workers, who are industriously
striving to make Washington art worthy
of this progressive metropolitan city.
The New President.
BY electing E. II. Miller president of
"the society" the Washington artists paid
fitting tribute to one of the most genial
and popular OF their number and at the
same time conferred the highest honor in
their gift upon the dean Of the Washing
ton guild. Mr.. Miller has been painting
in this city for half century. His able
portraits in crayon. water color and oil
are conspicuous in the art collections
which adorn the houses of old Washing
