7. NJ. lnasmuch as the seating accom-
modation of the church is entirely in
adequate, il will be necessary that
seats be reserved for the various ma
tional state and local officials, repre-
sentatives Of the organizations with
which Mr.. Hobart was connected. and
intimate personal friends of the family.
1t is therefore impossible to provide.
for the general public until various Of
hcials. representatives and friends have.
been accommodated. Previous to the
public exercises. Saturday afternoon, a
brief service will be held at the Ho-
bart mansion only for the family, the
President and his cabinet and intimate

be at the convenience Of the family at

-Four companies of regulars from
Governors Island will take part in the
funeral ceremony and will probably
act as an escort from the late residence
of the Vice President to the church.
The military will also act as an escort
to President Mckinley and his party.
1t is expected that President McKin-
ley and his cabinet, the supreme court
justices and other officials from Wash

ditis."
Mr.. Hobart was a members of the or
der Of Free and Accepted Masons OF
nigh rank. 32nd degree Scottish Rite
Mason and Knight Templar. In re-
ply to inquiries Of representatives of
various Masonic bodies it has been eX-
planned to them that the family deem
ed it best to not TO have q Masonic fun
eral.
President Mckinley and cabinet will
leave Paterson Immediately after the
interment of the remains of Vice Pres
ident Hobart in Cedar Lawn cemetery.
and the United States senators will re-
turn on the same train with him.
The services in the house will proba-
bly, be conducted by Rev DR.. Magic
of Paterson, Rev. DR.. Hamlin of Wash
ington, and the blind chaplain of the
Senate. Rev. DR.. Milburn. The musi-
cal part will be in charge of the Or

Mr.. IIobart's wealth has been esti-
mated a from s., 900. 900 to 5000 600. 1t
is of a character difficult to estimate
as the major portion consisted of stock
in 60 companies. The life insurance
policies on Mr.. Hobart's life aggregate
about S:5O,000. 1t is understood that
the Vice President made a will and
named as his executors Col. VIM. Bar
bour and l.. T. Bell. both personal
friends, and it is likely that they are
two of the pail bearers selected before
his death.
