FLORAL DESIGNS.
The scene presented by the interior
OF the house carried with it all the evil
dences Of death: Emblems of mourn
ing, memorial floral designs, were at
hand everywhere. The oil portraits of
Mr.. and Mrs, Hendricks were almost
hidden In banks of flowers and smilax.
On the marble in front of the parlor
was an elaborate floral parterre, the
.Gates Ajar." sent by the members of
the Chimes eclass Of the Presbyterian
Sunday school. The most notable re-
presented designs of flowers were that
of the log cabin, in which Mr.. Hen
bricks was born, In Ohio, which stood
at the head of tho coffin containing the
remains. It was the work of the ladies
Of Shelbyville where Mr.. Hendricks
formerly lived. It was six feet in
length, four in height; its sides were
composed Of Gala lillies, hyacinths, car
nations and roses. The roof was of
English Ivy and smilax, and the Chin
ney Of red and white carnations. Over
a painting of the dead Vice President
in the back parlor Of the mansion was
flung drapery of soft Chinese silk.
Near 1t stood the splendid banner, pre-
sented during the past campaign, con-
tanning the faces Of president Cleveland
and the deceased.
INTO THE CHURCH.
The casket was borne into the church
at 1914 p. m, the vast congregation
having already been seated with the ex-
ception of the immediate relatives and
the church vestry. The officiating cler-
gy were four in number, Bishop Knick-
erbocker of this diocese, Rev. DIR.
Stringfellow, of Montgomery, Ala, the
first rector of the st. Pauls, and under
whose ministration Mr.. Hendricks Join
ed the chuach; Rev. DR.. Fulton of st.
Louis, a former rector of st. Pauls, and
Rev. DIR. jerks the present rector. In
their robes Of Office they met the re-
mains at the main entrance on Illinois
street and preceded by guard of the
Indianapolis Light Infantry, the body
was borne up the cathedral isle.
At the close of the service the casket
was borne from the church. During
the progress of the funeral column
from the house to the church there was
q slight sleet in the air, which contin-
ued throughout the entire services in
the cathedral. In the church edifice
the place Of honor was accorded to ex-
President Hayes, his full beard and
hair showing the wniteness of adyanc-
ing years.
THE CEMETERY.
Shortly after the column entered
upon the final stage of its journey the
sleet began to fall more sharply, accom-
panied by cold wind. The column
entered the cemetery winding through
the thick growth Of beech ant
maple.
