Senator Hoar had been in i'll health
since last winter and even when at
tending the sessions of the senate he
was obliged to exercise extreme care
lest his exertions should overcome
him. He had suffered from malaria AT
times while in Washington, and he
occasionally remarked to his friends

vised him last winter to keep as quiet
as possible, to refrain from making
long speeches, and not to attend public
functions.
