Death of John Hay

John Hay, Secretary of State under Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, died at his summer home, Newbury, N. H., on the morning of July 1. He had been in poor health for some time, but was regarded as on the road to recovery when the announcement of his death was received. Secretary Hay was one of the most widely known and most favorably known diplomats of the world, and a most exemplary man. The feeling is universal in American Protestant circles that in the death of John Hay America has suffered an incalculable loss.
