THE MODEST HOME
OF the late vice president, a plain two-story
brick structure. On the front door was
black roseIte, from which was pendant q
strip of black Grape, which constituted the
only outward emblem of mourning. On
the street in front of the house gathered a
large but respectful crowd which grew in
numbers as the forenoon advanced. A de
tail Of the police and soldiery were able,
however, to keep the sidewalk clear in front
of the edifice to enable the close friends and
relations of Mrs. Hendricks, and the mem
bers of the respective committees, to gain
admission. The scene inside the house.
however, carried with it all the evidences of
death. Emblems of mourning and memorial
floral designs were at hand everywhere. On
mantel in one parlor was an elaborate
floral piece, emblernatic of sThe Gates Ajar, :"
sent in by the members Of Chinese class
of the Presbyterian Sunday school The
most notable representation Of the design in
flowers was that of the log cabin in which
Mr.. Hendricks was born in Ohio. It stood at
the head of his coffined remains, and was
the work Of ladies of Shelbyville where Mr.
Hendricks had formerly lived. It was six feet
in length and four feet in height Its
sides were composed of Gala lilies, white
hyacinths, carnations and roses The roof
was of English ivy and smilax, and the
chimney Of red and white carnations
THE FINAL FAREWELL
At o'clock Mrs Hendricks entered the
room for her last leave taking, accompanied
only by her brother and Mrs. Morgan. The
ordeal was most trying, and the desolate-
woman seemed to be utterly FRUSTRATED,
clinging to the last to the clay SO soon to be
hidden forever from her view, and i'm
pressed with the placid and lifelike appear
ance Of the dead She desired to preserve
this last scene, and late as it was she sent
for photographer to take picture of the
casket Before he arrived delegations from
distant cities began to come and were ad-
mitted to pass through and view the re-
mains While the photographer was en-
gagged at his work the members of the cabi-
net, the judges of the supreme court and
others from Washington entered and were
unfortunately detained few minutes by
the process 1t was IL o'clock when the
casket was replaced, and the stream of
visitors again passed by. Shortly after
this the pail bearers arrived The
draped hearse 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
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
casket was borne into the church at IL IA

been seated, with the exception OF the i'm
mediate relatives and the church vestry.
