At Carroll hall this afternoon the re-
mains of Vice President Hobart lay in
state. and the public had an opportu-
nifty to view them. Fully 5000 persons
We're in the streets. Lines were form
ed by squad of police, but the force
was entirely too small to maintain any
semblance of order. Women We're
largely in the majority. They included
all classes. and all had the same op-
portunity to take a last look at tie
face of the dead. The first person to
see the remains after they had been re-
moved from the room where Vice Pres
ident Hobart died was Attorney Cen
eral Griggs. He shook his head as
he noticed the change in the face of
the dead, and as he stepped aside from
the room, very much affected, he re.
marked: He has suffered much more
than anyone will know
AS the throngs filed into the hall lead
ing to the library excitement began to
appear. Women tainted on the porch,
and at one time half a dozen lay insen-
sible on the lawn, but We're revived.
AT the coffin there was a fainting scene.
A woman about 20 years old, after gaz-
ing in the face of the dead vice presi-
dent, stood as though transfixed Then
she screamed and fell forward into the
arms of a. policeman. She was placed
on chair and revived 1t was esti-
mated that fully $1,000 persons saw the
remains in the four hours they were
exposed to view Thousands more
would have seen them if the time had
permitted.
1t was remarked by those who had
known the vice president that the face
had lost its pleasant roundness and
was very thin, showing that he had
suffered much. His neck had also thin
ned considerably, and his hair and mus
tache were gray. He was sadly chang
ed from the day he was sworn into the
office of vice president of the United
States, but there was a peaceful ex-
preston. as though he had dropped
into a sleep.
1t was originally proposed to form
procession from Carroll hall to the
church. headed by President Mckinley
and the cabinet, but Attorney General
Griggs reminded the committee that
