publicity in connection with Grants illness
turns up. He is Dr. Frank Abbott, New

Case OF Gen. Grant" to appear soon in the

Not Attend the Funeral.
There was some doubt yesterday about the

Cleveland. Later in the afternoon United States

A TALK WITH MIR. WOOLLEN.

friend of the late Vicepresident, brought out the
following anecdotes. which wilillustrate num-

He received the suggestion with considerable
disfavor. He said he had always been impressed

for a candidate for either the presidential or
vice presidential Office to enter into the canvass
in such a way. We urged him strongly He

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-There has been but
one subject of general comment and attraction
here to-day. That subject was the probability
and adyisability of President Cleveland attend
ing the funeral Of the late Vice president Hen
bricks. The Journal editorial, printed this
morning, on the subject, and published
in the Associated Press dispatches here
and elsewhere in the East, to-day,
came early to the Presidents notice. He said it
was an argument he could not ignore, since it
reminded him of duty he owed to the country.
which was above that of his own feelings and de-
sires. Senator Edmunds called at the White
House and almost commanded the President not
to go. He said it was running entirely
too much risk, and that every
cool headed, far seeing, patriotic man
in the country would advise against it. Tele-
grams letters and verbal messages poured into
the White House on the subject A majority

The Dead Vice-President.

The Dead Vice-President.
A noble man, ordained and broadly planned
By rarest gifts his brethren to command
Obedient to Gods silent beckoning hand,
Yields up his breath
Upon his lips the smile serene and bland,
Which welcomed death.
A tongue anointed with the grace of speech,
mind well trained its highest aims to reach
A heart attuned its strongest thoughts to teach
In words most wise,
Like strong waves whispering deep thoughts to the
beach
In gentlest guise.
A helpful hand held out to those who weep;
genial word hopes flame alive to keep,
With strong God speeds to those who climb fames
In early youth
And on his counsel stamped, clean marked and Deep
The seal of truth.
A faithful friend, keen but kindly foe,
With smiles he coaxed esteem from strife to grow,
Within his soul in deep and ceaseless flow
Convictions strong,
Which sought the right; and knowing sin was woe,
Condemned the wrong.
His home life peaceful as an evening psalm,
His trust in God heights where dwells the calm.
In public life erect some tall palm
Which clouds enfold,
In tropic lands with atmospheres of balm
And skies of gold.
An earnest worker in the ways of peace,
Whose trumphs grew in swift and rich increases
A ruler blessed by death with swift release
From cares of state;
Zen foes and critics now their cavls cease
And call him great
The land he served his memory shall enthrone
His virtues through the coming years be known,
And Indiana shrine because her own
His honored DUST
He was her son. and unto her alone
Belongs this trust.
So on the shafts of high and lasting fame
Shall glow in living light this rulers name,
Who from the humblest ranks won with acclaim
"A kings demesne.
God keep for aye his noblest thoughts afame,
His memory green!

THE DAY AT THE RESIDENCE.


The Remains of the Dead Statesman Placed
in the Burial Casket.
1t was bright November day, as if the warm
sunshine and the brisk air had come to foretel
its likeness when the remains of Vice-president
Hendricks are to be laid away in the marble
tomb in Crown Hill. The streets were crowded
with pedestrians and shoppers, and often the
forms and features of strangers, sngly and in
groups, could be discerned in the
rapidly passing throng. They were the first
of the great crowds that will come Monday and
Tuesday from all directions, to do honor to the
memory of the great Democratic leader, the en-
inent citizen and valued friend But two SQUARES
away was the house of mourning, with its sad
home incidents of waiting, watching and pre-.
pairing for the grand pomp of funeral
circumstance that is to begin to-
day. The mournful story at the house
has been so well told in the slightest particular
ity of detail that little is left to gather. In the
afternoon, orders admitting no one except the
family and those of closest intimacy thereto
were given to the guard. but in the morning the
full preparations for the lying in state of the re-
mains had been made, after which Mrs. Hen
bricks, attended only by her brother Mr. Nor
gan, and his wife, looked long and tenderly
upon the features of the one they
loved SO dearly while living, and
for whom she mourned so heart touchingly when
dead She pronounced all that had been done as
perfect. This was after the sculptor, Parks. had
taken perfect mask, one that he will use in
making bust of the dead Vice-president. He
said that the features were remarkably we'll pre-
served He regarded Mr.. Hendricks as one of
physical perfection in all parts of body and limb
Mrs Hendricks arose in the morning refreshed
by an undisturbed sleep, and received very few
intimate friends About 10 o'clock family relig-
ious services were held, the service being read
by S. w. Morgan, but in the meantime the Rev.
DR.. Jenckes and DR.. Horace Stringfellow, of
Montgomery, Ala, the first rector of ST. Paul's,
came in. The customary duties Of the house
went on by faithful servants and the ladies who
have been with the bereaved wife throughout
her af1iction.
In the afternoon at o'clock the remains were
placed in the casket and carried down to the
front drawing room, where they will rest until
removed at noon to-day to the courthouse ro-
tunda. The casket has been partially described
1t is six feet three inches long, twenty six inches
wide made of red CEDAR with Diagonal shaped ends
and covered with fine black broad cloth. The
extension bar handles and the two end handles
are covered with black silk and tipped with sill

While it is not positively settled, it is pretty
well understood that Secretaries Bayard, Whit
ney and Endicott, and Postmaster general Villas
will attend the funeral. Attorney general Gar
land expected to be detained at Washington by
important business before the United State Su-
preme Court. but as that tribunal has adjourned
over, and as his annual report is almost com.
pleted, it is now thought he can also arrange to
attend. It is not at all likely, however, that
will be able to be present. They are both at
work on their annual reports, and the former
has several important matters before him, which
it is essential should be settled before the meet
ing of Congress; Secretary Manning is very
much behind with his report, and will have to
work on it night and day in order to complete it
in time.
