Mrs. Hay and Drs. Scudder and
Murphey Were at at the secretary's
bedside when the end came. The sec
retary bade good night to his wife and
to his attending physicians about 10
O'Clock last night, at the close Of one
of the best days he had since his i'll
ness. The local trouble was clearing
up satisfactorily, according to DR..
Scudder. The secretary suffered none
of the old pains in his chest which
characterized his earlier Ill ness. He
had been perfectly comfortable all
day, and happy in the anticipation of
leaving his bed for the greater free
dom and comfort of a couch. At IL
o'clock he was sleeping quietly. A
few minutes after IL o'clock he called
the nurse, who at once summoned DR..
Scudder. Both DR.. Scudder and DR..

secretary was breathing with difficult
ty, and expired almost Immediately
after, at 1925.
Newbury, N. H., July 1.-The body
of Secretary of State John Hay.
whose unexpected death early today
caused sorrow throughout the land,
and evoked expressions of sympathy
an regret the world over, lies tonight
in room Of "The Fells," the quaint
gambrel-roofed mansion which for Ia
years has been the summer home OF
the Hay family.
Just one week ago tonight, the Sec
retary arrived in this village from
Washington, wearied with the cares
of state and anticipating "a long sum
mer's rest" Tonight the same launch
in which Mr.. Hay made the short triI
from Newbury to the landing at The
Fells" conveyed relatives Of Mr.. Hay
to the cottage where they brought
sympathy and help to the stricken
woman and her only son.
The only members of the secretary's
family at THE Fells' when the END
came We're Mrs. Hay and Clarence
Il, ..ef
NJ y, q daughter, has been i'll recent
ly, and had not been to Lake Sunapee
this season. Mrs. Payne Whitney, am
other daughter. is on her way to
Europe.
The brief announcement was made
III the afternoon that the body would
probably be taken to Cleveland, on
Sunday, and the request was issued
that the family be permitted to re-
main in uninterrupted quiet until late
in the afternoon, when details OF the
funeral would be announced These
wishes We're strictly observed. Only
undertakers and messengers carrying
kilograms entered the grounds until
toy.Srd evening, when Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Mather arrived from Glouces-
ter, Mass. Mrs. Mather is a sister of
Mrs. Hay.
From early afternoon until late to-
night the arrival of messages was al
most continuous. They came from all
parts of the world, but In accordance
with the wishes of Mrs. Hay. the
names of the senders and the texts of
the messages were for the most part
withheld.
