Of the heart, and from this attack Mr..
Hobart never rallied. He had been
sick for long time, and had suffered
frequently from heart failure and his
strength had been undermined. Grad
ually the failure OF the hearts action
became more apparent, and soon after
midnight Monday night Mr.. Hobart
became unconscious He remained in
that condition until his death. His
death was due directly to angina pee
toris complcating myocarditis
Owing to the prostration Of Mrs.
Hobart the funeral arrangements will
not be completed until some time to-
day. The only step decided upon Is
that the services shall be held in the
Church Of the Redeemer at Paterson
and the interment In the family plot at
Cedar Lawn, where the only daugh-
ter of Mr., and Mrs. Hobart was buried
six years ago. The mayor and alder
men Of Paterson have suggested that
the body lie in state at the city hall on
Friday or Saturday morning and this
suggestion will probably be carried out.
The pall-bearers have been selected
but their names will be withheld until

ON INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Commissioner Jones Makes His An

The EDUCATION OF The INDIANS.

tory Arrsigned-Chippewx Oot-
break Of Last Autumn.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The annua
report OF the commissioner Of Indiar
affairs, William A. Jones, besides re
viewing the progress of affairs in al
branches Of the service, urges NOR,
schools, more systematic methods
study Of individual traits and consid
GRAFTON Of subsequent environment Ii
outlining studies in the Indian schools
The entire educational system Of tht
Indian Office, he says, is predicated
upon the final abolishment Of the
anamolous Indian reservation system,
There are now 2O,5ss bows and girls in
attendance on the various Indian
schools out of an enrolment Of ovel
1000.
The Indian population has remained
stationary and there has been such q
steady increase in the number Of In.
dians being educated as to warrant the
opinion that the next quarter century
will witness not a diminution Of the
Indian population, but an extinguish-
ment of Indian tribes. One discourag.
ing factor, however, is disclosed by the
unsatisfactory res ults Of the past nine
years trial of co-education OF the In
dians with the whites in the public
schools. The report says the results
of this co-education are not commen-
surate with the expenditure; that the
idea theoretically is an admirable ex-
pedient for breaking down prejudices
and civilizing the Indian, but the
figures show it is not an unqualified
success. The full-blood. who needs
such contact most. is rarely secured
and the ground work at least Of Indian
education must be laid under the
governments auspices and control.
stronger measures for forcing the at
tendance on Indian schools are urged.
There are 1850 employees in the Indian
service, and the policy is to employ In
dians in every position to which they
are adapted by nature and education.
A thorough and exhaustive investiga-
tion Of the Seminoles in Florida has
resulted in the discontinuance Of the
Offices Of industrial teacher and other
employees and no school will be estab-
lished for them at present, their real
and fancied wrongs have embittered
them against governmental assistance.
Concerning the Indian territory, the
report severely arraigns nepotism, lack
of management, demoralized conditions
and deplorable state Of affairs gener-
ally in administering the schools and
orphan asylums Of the five Indian ma
tions. Out Of 81 boarding schools, not
more than four Of the superintendents
are reported competent to teach the
ordinary English branches, and fnan-
cial mismanagement is especially COM

For many years Chippewas have been arrest

been made solely for the fees which would
