CORNELIUS VANDERBILT's MANSION.
When Remodeled 1t VIII BE the Most
Magnificent House In New York.

When RemodeIed 1t VIII BE the Most
Magnificent House In New York.
The Vanderbilt palaces on Fifth avenue
are among the sights which most strangers
who visit New York city desire to see, and
the home of Cornelius Vanderbilt, though
it is not the most beautiful, has always
been an especial center of attraction, prob
ably because being named for his grand
father, the old commodore, he is in some
respects looked upon as the head of the
family. His house is situated at the north.
west corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty
seventh street, and to the ordinary citizen
has always seemed sufficiently palatial, but
for the past Is months or more its owner
has been having it remodeled, extended
and boautiiied, until now, as the work APP
proaches completion, it is considered the
most magnificent mansion in the metrop-
oils.
AS viewed from the exterior the principal
change noticeable is that the length of the
house on the Fifth avenue side has been
considerably increased and the width OF the
front on Ffty-seventh street has been add
ed to. The two big mahogany doors of the
principal entrance on the latter street have
disappeared, and in their stead are doors OF
bronze, said to have cost 100000 They are
copies of the doors of the episcopal palace
at Milan, which are unrivaled as works of
art in that peculiar line. The rear entrance
of the house, on the Fifty eighth street side,
has been entirely reconstructed, and it also
has beautiful doors of bronze.
A large ballroom and a new conservatory
have been added to that side of the house,

deck vessel, and her greatest strength is in
her hull from the main deck down, the part
below the water line being heaviest and the
upper structure comparatively light. Her
engines are entirely below her main deck,
and can be adequately protected from the
shots of an enemy by means of cofferdams
or by running the coal bunkers to the sides
of the vessel.
AS freighter FL Cid carried 1000 tons
of coal, but by devoting her cargo space to
coal she can easily carry three times that
amount, which will give her an immense
advantage over most of Mello's vessels, none
of which carries near as much fuel An
other advantage she will possess as cruiser
lies in the fact that there are no transverse
bulkheads between her upper decks, which
leaves clear berth deck space sufficient for
1000 men. Then she has five ports on each
side, all of which are available for guns of
some size, and her side plating will proba-
bly, stand fire as well as any of our cruisers
She is being altered and reftted for her
new career as rapidly as possible. Among
the guns purchased for her armament is a
10 inch dynamite torpedo gun, said to be
the finest ever constructed, which will
throw one of its peculiar projectiles nearly
four miles

LEWIS q. STEVENSON educated at the
State Normal university at Bloomington
and partly at Boston college, finishing
her studies in Europe She travelled abroad
for several years and is a proficient lin
guist She was the boyhoods sweetheart
of Mr. Stevenson, and the announcement
of their approaching marriage was not a
great surprise to their friends in Bloom
ington, who have been expecting it for
some years.
Mr.. Stevenson is a little past "a years OF
age and is very energetic young man,
though he has been somewhat of an invalid.
He has had considerable experience in jour
nalism, for which he has a marked taste,
and occupies the position of private secre-
tary to his father. He is of medium height,
with dark eyes and hair and frank, open
corntenance. He is a singularly well in
formed young man, though most of his
knowledge was got by private reading, as
his school days were cut short by an acct
dent. While i'm attendance at the Phillips
academy, Exeter, n. H., he went out on
hunting excursion and had his shoulder so
injured by the recoil of gun that he was
incapacitated for IA long time His entire
recovery from the effects of his unfortunate
shot has in fact only been assured within
the past year.
1t is worthy of note, perhaps, in connec-
ton with the approaching marriage, that
while the groom is the son of the Demo
cratic vice president, the bride is the daugh-
ter of the proprietor of the leading Repub-
lican paper in central Illinois and the grand
daughter of the Hon Jesse w. Fell, one of
the founders of the Republican party and
one of the foremost Republicans of his state
in his day. The fathers of the bride and
groom, though differing radically on polit-
cal questions, have always been warm per
sonal friends, and the union of the young
people has their cordial approval.

street side having been thrown into the
main entrance hall. The garden in the
rear of the house has been considerably ex-
tended by he demolition of the brown stone
houses that formerly abutted Mr.. Wander
bilt's property on the Fifth avenue side
One of these was the old Seventh regiment
clubhouse, for which Mr.. Vanderbilt paid
Sl50O0O only to demolish it for garden
space. 1t gives him the entire block front
on Fifth avenue, however, and adds greatly
to the stateliness of the mansion viewed
from that standpoint.
The interior of the house has been entire
ly redecorated and almost entirely remod-
eled A new grand staircase has been built
of African marble, which is said to be
worth its weight in gold, and at it's foot are
two malachite vases of priceless worth.
The hall is fitted with rare woods of beauti-
full contrasting colors, and the reception
rooms are walled with rosewood and moth
er of pearl But it is useless 10 attempt

faint idea of the rare beauty and value of
the fittings and furnishings of this metro
politan palace, which represents a total ex-
penditure of upward of $l0,O00.000.

Mr.. Henry White, who recently resigned
the secretaryship of the American embassy
in London, held that position so long that
he was known to thousands of American
tourists, and had come to be regarded as a
fixture in the diplomatic circles of the
British capital. He was appointed to the
Office about 10 years ago and served as a
confidential adviser and sort of social men
