Greatly Admired.

The HERALD job rooms to-day turned out
another installment of those artistic blotters
which were 50 favorably received and COM
mented upon by business men last month.
This is an entirely new design, and the work.
manship and good taste displayed is very
creditable to our job department, which has
gained an enviable reputation in commercial
and other channels. Being well equipped
with the latest styles of types and employing
the men who know how to manipulate them,
we are fully equipped to compete with the
offices in the large cities. These bletters,
printed in colors and bearing the calendar for
the month, have become quite popular with
our business men, all of whom pronounce the
work the finest, from an artistic point Of
view, they have ever seen. The HERALI
leads in every department.

a finger chewed of. When the case was heard
before Justice Green at VIM. Penn the
nephew pulled the decapitated ear from his

he was seized with a weak SPELL He had
battled through several similar attack
and II was thought for time he would
come out of this one. He did, but he was
very weak and it was plain to be seen that
he was sinking. He rallied again, how
ever, and tried to be cheerful, but toward
midnight his condition was beyond hope.
Or. Newton called Mrs. Hobart and the
vice-presidents son and Mrs. Newton and,
with the nurse, they gathered closer to the
bedside of the dying man. Now and again
the patient rallied and in these moments
spoke to his wife and son. What he said
is known only to them.
Shortly before 12 o'clock the vice-presi-
dent was again stricken with an attack of
angina pectoris and following this he re-
iapsed into state of inconsistencies from
which he never again emerged. The vice.
presidents death was a great shock to the
poor of all New Jersey and New York and
expressions of profound sympathy were
heard when the sad news was reported.

The Funeral Arrangements
Owing to the prostration of Mrs. Hobart
the funeral arrangements will not be COM
pleted until tomorrow. The only step de-
cided 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. Rev. DR.. Magee will preach the
sermon.
The church can accommodate not more
500 persons and as thousands will be eager
TO attend the services 1t will be suggested
that they be held in the armory which Will
accommodate 10000. 1t is known, however,
that Mrs. Hobart wishes the funeral to be
as quiet as possible and there is little like
nhood that the programme will be changed
The mayor and aldermen of Paterson
have suggested that the body lie In state at
the city hall on Friday or Saturday MORN
ing. and this suggestion will probably be
carried out.
The pallbearers have been selected but
their names will be withheld until they
have been notified and have accepted
Foreign Representatives Express Sorrow
Nearly all the representatives of foreign
nations in this country have sent messages
of sympathy to Mrs Hobart. One of the
first to express his sorrow at the death Of
the yice-president was President Mckinley,
who had been notified by telephone by
Private Secretary Evans. Attorney-General
Griggs, who was in Washington, tele-
graphed he would return to Paterson at the
earliest possible moment and he is expected
to take charge of all the details of the
funeral.
Among others who sent messages of con-
dolence were Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador: Count G. de LIGHTER
weld, envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary Of Belgium; Count Cassini,
Russian ambassador; former Vice-President

New York, November 21.-Garrett A. Ho-
bart, wee. presi ient of the United States,
died at his home in Paterson, N. j. at $3.50
o'clock this morning. At his bedside were
Mrs. Hobart and his son, Garrett A. Ho-
bart, Jr., together with DR.. William New
ton and his wife and Private Secretary
Evans.
Mr.. Hobart's death had been expected for
some hours. The beginning of the end came
yesterday evening when there was sud
den failure of the heart and from this at
tack Mr. Hobart never rallied. He had
been sick for a long time, and had suffer-
ed frequently from heart failure, and his
strength and been undermined. Gradu-
ally the failure of the hearts action be-
came more apparent and soon after mid
night last night, Mr.. Hobart became un-
conscious He remained in that condition
until his death.
Mr.. Hobart's death was due directly to
