Biographical Sketch.

Mrs. benjamin Harrison, whose maiden
name was Caroline Lavini Scott, daughter
of Professor John w. Scott, was born in
Oxford, O., Oct. /, 1882. She was sixteen
when her parents removed to College Hill,
near Cincinnati, where her father had &C.
cepted chair in Farmers college. In
1S48 Benjamin Harrison left the paternal
farm near North Bend to attend school at
the university. He fell in love with the
professors daughter, who was a remark
ably handsome young woman, with
brown hair, brown eyes and beautiful
form and complexion.
Professor Scott did not at first favor the
rather awkward young mans advances,
but Caroline had faith in him, and they
became engaged. Professor Scott accepted
the presidency of Miami university at
Oxford, and moved back there. Benja-
min Harrison was suddenly impressed
with the superiority OF that institution
and left Farmers college to finish his
studies there. Carrie attended the female
seminary, and the lovers were much to-
gether.
About that time young Harrison's
mother died, and soon after, in compliance
with her last request, he Joined the Pres
byterian church, which act advanced him
greatly in the estimation Of the SCOTS. 1t
was Carrie who suggested to him as the
topic of his graduating oration: "The
Poor in England" and she it was who
threw the only bouquet that fell at his
feet, for he wasn't a vastly popular
student.
Benjamin returned home to the farm
e. In 4 l,aax To Ia,
with Slower & Gwynne IN Cincinnati. It's
matter of family tradition that the
young couple never had a lovers quarrel.
Oct /, 1S53,, they We're married at Ok
ford During the winter ,of 1S53-54 they
livedwith his parents five miles below
North Bend.
Pursuant to their program, they went to
indianapolis in the spring and went to
housekeeping in three-room house, still
standing at the corner of Alabama and
North.streets, then Oh the outskirts of the
city Whil 4 the yo1Ing lawyer was house

had was $500, which Mr.. Harrison's aunt
Mrs. FiDdlay, had left him, and much Of
that had to go to pay dehsf-
| They lBaid 80 month house rent. The
| young lawyer had an uphill time for a
considerable period, but hehas been heard

Funeral services were held in the east
room, sermon being preached by the
Rev. 0. 81. Tiffany, D. d.
The Hawaiian Minister.
The last previous death within the
portals of the executive mansion was
the most dramatic of all. It occurred at
the New Years reception being held BY
President Arthur Jan. /, 1888, and
threw a pail over the festivities of the
occasion which were at once brought to
a close by the unbidden and unexpected
entrance of the grim messenger. Mr..
Elisha A. Allen, minister TO the United
States from Hawaii and dean of the
diplomatic corps, was at the head of his
associates making his way to the presi-
dent to present the members of the lega-
tions with their compliments when he
was smitten with heart disease. Falling
to the floor he was hurTiedly borne into
one of the parlors but never recovered
consciousness and expired before medi-
cal aid could reach him.
Other Sad Scenes.
|, Besides these deaths, the White House
has been the theater Of other scenes of
sorrow and suffering. When President
Garfield fell with the assassin's bullet in
his back, he was conveyed to the room
in which Mrs. Harrison died, and re-
mained there until carried forth to die
at Elberon.
Colonel. Ellsworth, the hero of the
early war days, lay in state in the blue

that parlor. The services were con.

The third death was that of President
Zachary Taylor, who entered the White
House March 4, 1849. He lived only
until July 8, 1850. His death was the
result of exposure on the Fourth of July
just previous, when he took part in the
dedication of Washingtons monument.
The weather was exceedingly hot and
the president drank freely of ice water
and partook Of large quantity Of fruit.
Immediately upon his return to the
White House he was seized with an in
disposition from which he never recov-
cred, but which was not believed to be
of a fatal or even serious nature until
the morning of his death.
