mate of President Mckinley in the next
campaign. The disease from which Mr.
Hobart suffers is kidney trouble, not
acute, but of form requiring absolute
rest for long time. The fact has been
known to his friends, but this is the
first announcement that his illness is so
serious as to threaten an actual with
drawal from the duties of his public po-
sition. This illness began with an at
tack of the grippe in Georgia last
spring. He returned thence to Wash
ington, where he suffered relapse, be-
ing confined to his house for several
weeks. Then he went to Long Branch
and recovered sufficiently to rejoin his
friends and the president during a part
of his outing at Lake Champlain. Since
his return last Tuesday to his home in
Paterson, Carroll hall, the vice presi.
dent has not visited his Office in the
Savings Bank building. It is said that
he can make no effort without ex.
haustion. His private secretary says:
1.-THE trouble with Mr.. Hobart is that
as soon as he feels strong enough tc
work he pitches in so hard that he
makes himself ill again." It is now
nearly six months since the vice presi.
dent, despite long periods of rest, has
been able to devote his time continu.
ously to business.
