pleasant words and to do kindly acts.
His generosity was unbounded. No one
can tell, no one knows, the number or

constantly doing. He was never too
tired for the cheering word, nor too
busy to do the kindly things himself.
He must be written down as one who
loved his fellow men.
Have Lost a Friend.
And it is true the poor and lowly
feel that they have lost friend. Those
knew him best who knew him in his
home. The load of business cares, the
worry of political life, We're there laid
aside. In his most happy home he
found relief from every care and car
ried from it, day by day, fresh cour-
age and purpose.
Here where he was best known and
loved he came back to die. All that
science and skill and care and love
could do was done in vain.
When on his nomination he received
a ovation from our citizens, irrespec-

with bowed head, leaning on the arm
of John Hay. there was only a mur-

Through long lane of thousands of
uncovered heads the cortege wended
it's way to Cedar Lawn cemetery, where
the body was placed in the receiving

In Sombre Garb.
The city wore it's most sombre garb
to-day in mourning. All the mills, big
business houses and stores were clos
and factories looked gloomy in dra-
peries of black and purple. On every
hand We're signs of grief for the loss
of New jerseys statesman.
Out Of Difference to the wishes of
Mrs Hobart there were no visitors
this morning to Carroll hail. except the
immediate relatives of the family. The
body of the vice president rested in
it's casket of oak on the catafalque in
the library. His right hand rested
lightly on his breast and held a bunch
of violets, placed there by his widow.
On the coffin was a bunch of Gala Ill
les. a sheaf of palm and some smilax
and roses. Around the room were
many tributes, conspicuous among
them being several pieces from the
white house conservatory.
There were never gathered in New
Jersey, and seldom in any part of the
United States, so many mourners of
eminence in the nation. In the throngs
were senators from states that were
territories before the war and for
years afterward. There was Hoar Of
Massachusetts, representing the old,
and Beveridge of Indiana, represent
ing the new in national life. There
were Daniels of Virginia, representing
the confederate soldiers. and Hawley
of Connecticut. standing as type of
the union veteran, each Of them to-
day as senators mourning the loss of
their presiding officer. There were
Jones of Arkansas, arm in arm with
Frye of Maine.
From every state came men of
broad culture and prominence in ma
tional affairs to honor the memory of
the illustrious American whose ac-
l1nowledged ability had won him fore
| most place among the men of the
time. More than three-fifths of the
