"VII H.
GARRETT A. HOBART.
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 complicating 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
after they have been notified and have
accepted, Nearly all the representa-
tives of foreign nations in this country
have sent messages of sympathy to
Mrs Hobart. One of the first to eX-
press his sorrow at the death of the
| vina t,rasiIaut was President Mo i'm =
