OUR VTCE-PRESIDENr DEAD.

The WORLD performs the somewhat la
borious task of giving to its readers a
lengthy editorial article on the death OF
Thomas A. Hendricks, the illustrious
vice-president of the United States, which
occurred very suddenly, at his residence,
in indianapolis. at AS p. M. on Wednes-
day-probably of paralysis. Mr.. Hen
bricks had perhaps not been well for sew
eral years, but he was able to be about
most of the time, and aside from fear,
peculiar to himself and Mrs. Hendricks,
that he might be taken off suddenly, it
was supposed that many years of useful
labor were before him. AS it was, Mr..
Hendricks had been complaining at times
for day or two of not feeling very well.
He and his wife attended public recep-
ton at the home OF the state treasurer
Tuesday night, and they did not return
to their home until midnight. Mr.. Hen
bricks had changed his heavy suit of
clothes that evening for lighter one. On
the way home he complained of feeling
chilly, but thought of no serious conse-
quences. During Wednesday, he kept
his bed the greater portion Of the day.
After he had succeeded for some time in
preventing the family physician from be-
ing summoned, he was sent for. Mr..
Hendricks's acute abdominal pain was re-
ieved. The physician went home, and,
through the carelessness of the walters,
he was not summoned until the patient
was in the last throes of death. Mrs.
Hendricks, who had been absent from her
husband short time, was beside herself
with grief at this unlooked-for turn in her
bucband's condition

 watch were taken. The watch was valu-
 able one, and especially 30 to him, it hay ing been carried by all only son whom he

 Hill is president and superintendent of the Creamery Co.,, and had some money paid
 him that afternoon for some creamers. It
 had always been his custom on retiring to put his wallet in some safe place, but that night, being very weary, he forgot it. Awakening about two in the morning, he remembered about it and reached for his pants, and not finding them began to feel little uneasy, and got up. After light ing lamp he began the search, being led by articles dropped on the way, to his ood-house, where he found his pants with his pocket book and that of his wife, (which had been taken from bureau brawer) lying on them. Fortunately for him part of the amount due for cream CTS was paid by check, and this was left A few nights before the store of Chauncey Chapman was entered and goods to the amount of fifteen dollars were taken. A town meeting is called for Friday of this week, to see about offering reward for the detection of the guilty ones.
