slaughter.

The tents along the line of march were
richly draped with habiliments of war.
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 the
densely lined streets to the cathedral of
st. Paul. The casket was borne into the
cathedral at TIA o'clock, the vast congre-
CATION h aving already been seated, with
the exception of the immediate relatives
and the church vestry. The officiating
clergy, four i'll number, Bishop Knicker-
booker, of this diocese, Rev. Dr. String
fellow, of Montgo merry, Alabama, first
rector Of st. Paul and under whose minis
tration Mr.. Hendricks joined the church,
Rev. DR.. Fulton of St. Louis, a former rec
tor Of st. Paul and Rev. DR.. Jenckes, the
present rector, in their robes of office, met
the remains at the main entrance of the
cathedral. Preceded by a guard of In
dianapolis light infantry, the body was
borne up the central isle, the clergy and
members of the yestry going in advance.
Bishop KnickerbOcker opened the service
and rector and Rev. DR.. Jenckes delivered
touching funeral address after which the
casket was borne from the church and
THE PROCESSION FORMED.
The column was preceded by a mounted
police escort, who We're followed by the
Columbus barracks band and the Richard
son zouaves, who Immediately preceded
the hearse. The latter was drawn by six
black horses, wearing the black paraphcr-
MALTA worn by the animals attached to the
funeral car, which bore the remains of
General Grant to the tomb. On either side
Of the hearse was guard from the Indian
apolis light infantry, carrying their guns at
the position Of reverse arms" The fu-
neral car occupied a central position in the
second of the four grand divisions. Then
followed the divisions in their order, and
marched to Crown Hill and to the Hen
bricks plat.
1t constitutes historic ground for In
diana. TO the east rises the marble shaft
erected to the memory of Gen. Jefferson c.
Davis. Immediately opposite lies the re-
mains of Oliver P. Morton. 4 little to the
north is the grave of E. R. Conley. To the
northeast another piece of rising ground is
dotted with the simple headstones of sew
eral hundred of Indianas soldiers, who
lost their lives on the battlefield.
THE HENDRICKS LOT
is graced with simple column of polished
marble granite, thirty feet high and 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 Hendricks,
the only child born to Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
bricks, who died in 1851, in his third year.
This grave was completely imbedded in
flowers by the friends Of the sorrowing
widow. The grave opened to deposit all
that was mortal of Thomas A. Hendricks,
was the counterpart of a nlausoeunl, hay
ing been lncased completely in stone.
The scenes at the grave were impressive
There was no special restraint upon ad-
mittance to the cemetery and several hum
dred persons had gathered around the
grave before the funeral party arrived.
The body OF the procession had disbandcd
after passing beyond the city limits, and
entered the cemetery. The space reserved
about the grave had only been defined by
placing line of plants and evergreen
Iwigs, which was quite sufficient to protect
it from intrusion. Just before the head of

back still farther, to give ample room for
friends who were assigned to the side of
the grave whence the column approached.
This order was cheerfully obeyed. When
Mrs. Hendricks, leaning upon the arm of
Mr.. Morgan, stepped upon the mating
placed along the side of the grave, and be-
fore the, casket was removed from the
hearse, she paused to look down into the
last resting place of her dead, only to see
picture o5 l9veliness in in its its lining OF green
the grave of her child, which had been
made glorious with a covering of smilax
and flowers, and read in letters of white
his baby name of "Marge," and on top of
the grave, on a field of white, in purple
letters, the sentence, "And threefold cord
shall not be broke" The tender love which
she discerned in this treatment OF her treas
ure by sympathetic friends seemed to give
her courage for the last ordeal Her glance
then caught the monument, with its drapery
of the national flag, enveloping life like
and she turned with the bravery
z of heroism to witness the last
rites. There had been a rainfall for
brief period but the sky was lowering.
