AT Carroll Hall this afternoon9the re-
mains of Vice President Hobart lay in
state, and the public had an opportunity
to view them. Fully 5000 persons weDe
in the streets. Lines were formed by
a squad of police but the force was
entirely too small to maintain any
semblance of order Women were
largely in the majority. They included
all classes and all had the same oppor-
tunity to take a last look at the face
of the dead.
The first person to see the remains
after they had been removed from the
room where the Vice President died was
Attorney General 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 ar
fected, he remarked: He has suffered
much-more than anybody will ever
know
AS the throngs filed into the hall
leading to the library, excitement be-
gan to appear. Women tainted on the
porch, and at one time half a dozen-lay
insensible on the lawn, but were re-
vived. At the coffin there was faint
ing scene. A woman about 20 years
old, after gazing in the face of the dead
Vice President, stood as though trans
fixed Then she screamed and fell for
ward into the arms of a policeman. She
was placed on a chair and revived.
1t was estimated that fully l2UUU
persons saw the remains in the four
hours they were exposed to view. Thou
sands more would have seen them III Inc
time had permitted.
1t was remarked by those who had
known the Vice President that the face
had lost it's pleasant roundness. and
was very thin, showing that he had
so l. oil Q
thinned considerably, and his hair and
mustache were gray. He was sadly
changed from the day he was sworn
into the office of Vice President of the
United States, but there was a peace
full expression, as though he had drop-
ped into a sleep.
OF the thirty-two pall-bearers, eight
represent the United States Senate,
eight the House of Representatives,
eight personal pall-bearers selected by
Mr.. Hobart two months before his
death, and eight of the Senate police,
who will act as quarter bearers.
1t was originally proposed to form a
procession from Carroll Hall to the
Church of the Redeemer, headed by
President Mckinley and the Cabinet,
but Attorney General Griggs reminded
the committee that the President would
be exposed to danger in a large crowd,
so the President and Cabinet will go to
