representation of the designs in flowers was
that of tie log cabin in which Mr.. Hen
bricks was born in Ohio. 1t stood at the
head of his cofiined remains and was the
work of ladies of Shelbyvllle, where Mr..
Hendricks had formerly lived. 1t was 6
feet in length and 4 feet in height, its sides
composed of Gala lilies, white hyaclnths,
carnations and roses. The root was
of English ivy and smilaK and the
chimney of red and white carua-

structure in purple immortelles was the in

SAD LEAvE-TAKING.
At O'Clock Mrs. Hendricks entered the
room for erlast leave-taking, accompanied
only by her brother and Mrs. Morgan. The
ordeal was most trying, and the desolate
woman seemed to be utterly FRUSTRATED

of the casket. Before he arrived del
egations from distant cities began
to come and were admitted to
pass through and view the re-
mains while the photographer was en-
gagged at his work. The members OF the
cabinet, the judges of the supreme court
and others from Washington entered, and
were unfortunately detained few minutes
by the process. 1t was II o'clock when the
casket was replaced and the stream
of visitors again passed by and
out through the side door. Shortly
after this the pall-bearers arrived.
The draped hearee and the carriages for
the family and friends were marshaled be-
fore the door and the preparations were
made for the final removal of the 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 cavalcade moved
quietly with it's military escort through
densely lined streets to the Cathedral of St.
Paul

THE HOME OF THE DEAD.
Scenes in and About the Residence of
the Dead Vice-President.

One of the central points OF attraction
for the visiting multitude was the modest
home of the late vice-president on Tennes-
see Street, plain two-story brick struct-
ure facing the late capitol building, now in
process of construction. On the front door
of the home was a black rosette, from
which was pendant a strip of black Grape,
which constituted the only outward en-
blem OF mourning. On the street, in front
of the house, gathered large but respect
full crowd, which grew in numbers as the
forenoon advanced. detail of po-
lice force and soldiery was able,
however, to keep the sidewalk clear
in front of the edifice, to enable the close
friends and relatives OF Mrs Hendricks and
the members of the respective committees
to gain admission to the house and grounds.
The scene presented in the interior of the
house, however, carried with it all the
evidences of death. Emblems of mourning
and memorial floral designs were at hand
everywhere. The oil portraits of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hendricks were almost hidden in
banks of flowers and trailing smilax. On
the mantel in the front parlor was an
elaborate floral piece emblematic of 1.-The

bers of Chinese class OF the Presby-

The Remains of the Dead Vice-President
Laid to Rest Forever.
Shortly before the column entered upon
the final stage OF it's journey, the sleet began
to fall more sharply, accompanied by a
cold wind. The carriages containing the
mourners and notable participants were all
closed against the inclemency of the
weather. The column entered the cemetery
under q splendid stone arch completed yes
terday and was the first TO pass under it..
Winding through thick growth Of beech and
maple trees, the military division came
upon large open view and approaching
the open grave on the Hendricks family lot
which occupied the most commanding
view in the grounds, turned to the
left and then again to the right
finally completely encircling the tract
of which the Hendricks plat forms q
part. 1t constitutes historic grounds for
Indiana. To the east rises the marble
shaft erected to the memory Of Gen. Jeffer-
son G. Davis. Immediately opposite lie the
remains of Oliver P. Morton. A little to
the north is the grave OF Gen. E. r. S. Can
by. To the northeast, another piece of
rising ground is dotted with simple head
stones of 700 Of Indianas soldiers who lost
their lives on the battlefield.
The Hendricks lot is graced with simple
column of polished Maine granite, thirty
1eeG nigh ana seven feet at the base. 1t was
erected three years ago, when Mr.. Hendricks
was deemed to be in failing health. The lot
contains the grave of Morgan Hen
bricks, the only child born to Mr..
and Mrs. Hendricks, who died in
1851 in his third year. This grave
was completely embedded in flowers
by the friends of thesorrowing widow. The
grave opened to deposit all that was NOR.
tai of Thomas A. Hendricks is the counter
part of a mausoleum having been incased
completely in stone. Looking into the open
grave to the view there was only bed OF
evergreens. smilax and cut flowers, the
stone enclosure having been lined with these
beautiful emblems.
When the hearse had halted near the lot
the casket was borne to the grave. The
venerable Bishop Knickerbocker preceded
1T and read the verses for the dead, and
after the lowering of the casket, Rev. DIR.
Jenckes read the committal services, the
Bishop closing with prayer and benediction.
Only the widow and her supporters ap-
preached to the grave, the remaining multi
tude standing off silent spectators.
The head of the funeral column entered
the cemetery at 2:46 o'clock, the hearse
reaching the grave at 2:54 o'clock. The
closing rites at the grave were performed a
few minutes after 3 o'clock. The process.
sion was one hour and five minutes in pass
ing given point, and the rear OF the column
had only left the business portion OF the
city few minutes before the first division
had approached the cemetery.

THE DEAD POETS CREED.
BY VICTOR HUI

My soul drinks in it's futu
Like some green forest thrice cut down,
Whose shoots defy the axmen's strife,
And skyward spread a greater crown.
While sunshine gilds my aged head,
And bOunteous earth supplies my food,
The lamps OF God their soft light shed,
And distant worlds are understood.
Say not my soul is but clod,
Resultant of my body's powers;
She plumes her wings to fly to God,
And will not rest outside His bowers.
The winters SHOWS are on my brow,
But summer suns more brightly glow,
And violets, lilacs, roses now
Seem sWeeter than long years ago.
AS [ approach my earthly end
Much palmer can L hear affair
Immortal symphonies which blend
To welcome me from star to star.
The tomb is not an endless night;
1t is a thoroughfare-a way
That closes i'll soft twilight
And opens in eternal day
Moved by the love of God, find
That / must work as did Voltaire,
Who loved the world and all mankind;
But God is Lovel Let none despair!
Our work on earth is just begun;
Our monuments will later rise
To battle their SUBMITS in the sun
And shine in bright eternal skies.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET.
a summary of the outlook for the
Opening season.

The Boston Advertiscs of May LIST
contains the following, which shows
tendency of the market:
The market has not been so active;
the inquiry from manufacturers has
been fair, but the differences in the
views of buyers and sellers have cur
tailed transactions; many manufac-
turers have also only taken sample
bags. Wool is more than ever bought
OH the shrinkage per secured pound,
and therefore well tested before being
bought. The difference in the views
Of some houses continues somewhat
marked and various prices are asked
for similar grades and descriptions OF
wool. IL is easy to go only to few
leading houses to ascertain this. Some
houses are free sellers, anxious to
close out stock before the advent of
new woods; others are restrict
advances; others want low
prices, in order that new wool shall
open low. The interests are in short
varied, and the reports differ so Ms to
greatly puzzle the market reporter.
who only seeks to report the market
as il is, and not as any or those inter-
Gated may wish it to be. The tone Is
decidedly healthy. Manufacturers
have been securing larger orders for
wooden goods of all kinds, and many
are well supplied ahead. Many ofthe
hosiery mills have started up this
week, and more will follow. Wool is
selling lower than it can be replaced
at. Some of the shrewdest manufac-
turers are aware of this, and having
orders, have been buying more freely
of late. One leading manufacturer
has quietly bought 100000 pounds

The country is not weakening. The
reports of what war is to do in tn,
