ATRIBUTE FROM THE oHINEsE.
The Chinese residents of indianapolis, who
nearly all attend of the Second Presbyte-
rian Church, yesterday sent to the residence of
the dead Vice-president a magnificent floral
tribute, about four feet in height, and sur
mounted by a dove. 1t was the rep
resentation of a gateway. the columns
and entablature being of lilies. the plinth of
crysanthemums, and the gate ajar" of roses.
In design and execution it was one of the most
striking of the many tributes offered. The piece
was exhibited at the Second Church Sunday
school yesterday afternoon before being taken to
It's destination, and the pastor of the church, DR..
Mcleod, took occasion to refer to the lecture
recently delivered in this city by Rev. Myron
w. Reed, which, he said, if correctly reported,
did not do much credit either to his hoad or his
heart.
TO IRIsH-AMERICAN CITIZENS.
The following address is issued by order of the
officers of several of the Irish societies:
No formal call is needed to bring together the men
OF our race to do honor to the man who has left us.
Less than one short week since we were happy in the
thought that we were to meet this fearless advocate
of our cause" and express to himself the love and
reverence we had for him. Instead of this looked-for
joyous meeting, We find ourselves mournfully gath
cred together endeavoring to give expressions to feel
ings that have no expression in words. Words cannot
say what we burn to say, and each mans heart must
be left to silently voice what tongue nor pen of man
can say for us. ERIN.
A PERSONAL TRIBUTE.
Hon John W.. Kern. on account of i'll health,
finds it impossible to be at Governor Hendricks
funeral. Although progressing finely. his physi-
clans deem it upwise for him to suspend treat
ment at this time. In a letter to a friend he
speaks OF Mr.. Hendricks as follows:
Your telegram communicating the Vice-president's
death was the first intimation we had Of the sad event,
and you may imagine L was thoroughly shocked. 1
loved him as a father, for he was always nv friend.
The Democratic party of Indiana will mourn in sack
cloth and ashes, for he is the man who has given it
life, vitality and victory through all theselong years. "
