THE LAST SCENE.

| to die during his term of Office, were con-
veyed to the tomb yesterday. The event was
made memorable, in many respects, by the
presence of tremendous eoncourse of peo-
pie from all parts of the Nation to witness
The simple rites which preceded their inter-
ment The business life of the city was
entirely suspended. The clergy, without
respect to sect, joined in the obsequies, and
the bells of all the churches tolled reoniem.
The early morning trains on all the rail-
ways brought delegations from the National
capital and all the leading cities of the
Union, together with an influx of people
from all the interior cities and hamlets of
Eastern Indiana and Illinois.
The Cabinet was represented by Secre-
tary of State Bayard, Secretary of the In
terror Lamar, Secretary of the Navy Whit
ney, Secretary of War Endicott and Post
master-General Villas The Supreme bench
| of the United States was represented by
| Associate Justices Matthews and Batch
| ford. The United States Senate was repre-
sented by Senators Edmunds, Allison,
| Pugh, Harris. Conger, Blair, Dolph, Vest
Beck, Camden, Vance, Jones, Voorhees,,
Payne, Palmer and Harrison. The com
| mittee representing the House of Repre-
| sentatives was composed OF w. r. Nor
rison, j. Blount, II. A Herbert, w. S. HOl-
man, William M. Springer, w. p Hepburn,
| S. B. Ward, W. w. Phelps, j. j. Klemer,
| Thomas Ryan and P. Dunn. The number
of active and ex-members of the lower
| House present in addition to those named
was very large. The Governors of Indiana,
| Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky were present
| attended by their stats and numerous State
officers. Major General Schofield was the
chief representative of the United States
army present. Ex-President Rutherford B.
| Hayes and General William T. Sherman,
| were distinguished guests, the latter accom-
| panying delegation FROM St. Louis.
| One of the central points of attraction
| for the visiting multitude was the modest
| home of the late Vice-President on Ten
neSSee street, plain two-story brick struct
ure, facing the State Capitol building now
| in process of construction. On the front
| door of the homo was black rOSette, from
| which was pendant strip of black crepe,
| which constituted the only outward emblem
of mourning. On the street in front of the
house gathered large but respectful crowd.
| which grew in numbers as the forenoon adj
vanced. A detail of the police force and
sOldiery was able, however, to keep the
! sidewalk clear in front of the edifice, to en-
able the close friends and relatives of Mrs.
| Hendricks, and the members of the respect
| i've committees, to gain admission to the
house and grounds. The scene presented
in the interior of the house, however, car
ried with it all the evidences of death.
EmDlems of mourning and memorial floral
designs were at hand everywhere. The
! most notable representation of the designs
| in flowers was that of the log-cabin in
which Mr.. Hendricks was born in ohio.
| 1t stood at the head of his coffined re-
| mains, and was the work. of ladies OF
Shelbyville, where Mr.. Hendricks former
| ly lived. 1t was six feet in length and
| four in height its sides composed of
Gala lilies, hyacinthS, carnations and roses
The roof was of English ivy and smilax,
and the chimney of red and white carna-
tons. On one side of the miniature struc-
| ture in purple immortelles was the inscrip-
ton, 1.-THE Home of My Boyhood," and be-
meath 'Shelbyville." On the end of the
cabin was pendant black satin banner
bearing in letters OF gold, Goods finger
touched him and he slept" and
the second inscription under
meath 'Shelbyville mourns her
distinguished and gifted son." Perhaps
the most thoughtful and touching tribute
| was the simple Wreath from the little viii
lage of FuItonham. o., where MIR. Hen
bricks was born. 1t was placed on the
casket and alongside were cast the more
rare and brilliant products of the White
House Conservatives, received from Miss
| Cleveland.
At nine o'clock Mrs. Hendricks entered
| the room for her last leave-taking, accom-
/ io1 Ixy hui or a,,A MOr-
gan. The ordeal was most trying and the
| desolate woman seemed to be utterly pros.
trated. Clinging TO the last to the clay so
soon to be hidden forever from her view,
| and impressed with the placid and life-like
appearance of the dead, she desired to pre-.
I serve this last scene, and so late
! as it was, she sent for photographer
| to take picture of the casket.
Before he arrived delegations from dis
tant cities began to come, and were admit
ted to pass through and view the remains.
While the photographer was engaged at his
work the members of the Cabinet the
Judges of the Supreme Court, and others
| from Washington entered, and were de-
tanned few minutes by the process. Short
~ after this preparations were made for the
final removal of tho body. This was done
without further leave-taking.
The police and military kept the curious
but always respectful mass of people out OF
the way, and the little calvacade moved
quietly with its military escort through
densely-lined streets to the Cathedral of st.
Paul The casket was borne into the
church at IL: IA o'clock, the vast congrega-
ton having already been seated, with the
exception Of the immediate relatives
and the church vestry. The Off.

resurrection and the life." followed by Rev
Drs. StriDgfellow and Fulton in their recita
ton of the other verses used for the servict
until the casket had been carried aDC
placed outside the chancel. The great au
dieDce stood while the impressive scene was
enacted. Following the bier came TIN
widow leaning on the arm of her brother
Mr.. S. w. Morgan. followed by the othe
relatives all in deep mourning. Thirteen
pews to the right of the center aisle were
reserved for the family. The pew occupied
by the dead Vice-P President in his lifetime
was distinguished by its complete envelop
ment in black cloth, and the fact that i
was unoccupied.

of the chancel rail the choir sang the an
