A Pleasant Reception.

TIedSdW hecepU0n.
On Wednesday, the 9th instant, a num-
ber of the friends and relatives of Capt
Stiles N. Hughs and his bride gathered
at Richland and greeted the happy cou-
pie with warmest congratulations and
best wishes for their future success and
happiness. Here the groom was on his
native heath, and the bride was by no
means q stranger. An elegant dinner
was served the guests by Mrs. E. T.
Hughs, the mother of the groom, in
honor of the occasion. The day was a
most pleasant one, and greatly enjoyed
by all. After few hours in social en-
Joyment the guests departed, bidding
the happy couple bon voyage.

The cox-Hughs Wedding
An event of widespread interest was
the marriage of Mr.. S. N Hughs and
Miss Blanche Cox, which took place at
Bolton on February 4th. The guests as
sembled at the hospitable and prettily
decorated home of the bride, where q
dainty. and tempting luncheon was
served about IL O'Clock. During the
interval between this and tho wedding
hour sweet strains of music, dispensed
from the piano by Mrs. Parker, hoated
through the rooms, delighting all hear
ers. AT O'Clock all gathered in the
parlor, and then the .ever-inspiring notes
of Mendelssohn's wedding march an
nounced the approach of the wedding
party. Misses Idel Rice and Carrie Nc
Gee first entered the room and arranged
themselves on either side of the floral
arch prepared for the bride and groom.
Then came the sweet and graceful bride
leaning on the arm of the handsome
and portly groom. The brief, but
pretty and impressive ceremony of the
Presbyterian church, was then performed
by Rev. r. j.. Rogers. During tho ccre-
mony Call Me Thine Own was softly
and sweetly rendered, this changing to
Nearer My God to Thee" for tho
prayer. The bride was attired in i.
handsome travelling costume of castor
broadcloth, with hat and gloves to
match. The large number of pretty
presents were strong proof of the popu.
larity of tho young couple. Those who
attended the wedding from Oconce were

Proposed Improvement of the
Capitol Building.
ROTUNDA'S CHAN GE
REPORT OF ELLIOTT WOODS, sU-
PERINTENDENT, SUBMITTED.
Estimates of the Remodeling of Both
Aggregate Nearly $4,000, 600
Plans of Walter Carried Out.

Congress is to begin at once the serious
consideration of extending the east front
OF the Capitol, and remodeling and deco
rating the interior of the rotunda- The es-
ttmated cost of the extension is S25eO.0O0,
and of the rOtunda improvement, S2I5,OO0.
A report, submitting estimates and pre-
senting designs, was submitted to the House
today by Elliott Woods, superintendent of
the Capitol and was referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations, of which Mr.. Can
non is chairman.
The report is made in accordance with a
provision in the sundry civil appropriation
bill of last year. 1t is but a partial re-
port as the clause referred to also provides
that plans shall be submitted for the con-
struction of an office building for the use
of members of the House. 1t is understood
this matter will be made the subject of
supplemental report by Mr. Woods
The idea of extending the east front of
the central portion of the Capitol building
is not a new one. 1t was considered as far
back 1859. and the plans submitted to-
day are those of Architect Thomas L.
Walter. who built the north and south
wings
AS will be seen from the illustration, the
renovation of the rotunda will make most
decided change in the appearance of that
noble room This sketch of the rotunda Is
the work of the late August Schoenborn
who was Mr.. Walters chief architectural
draughtSman- These plans are submitted
as illustrative of the general scope of the
improvement. and. as Mr.. Woods says may
Be modified in working them out
The report gives some interesting history

= The renovation of the rotunda presents
some exceptional difficulties After a full
consultation with some of the leading
artists and visiting architects, the conclu-
sion is reached that two things are possible
Either to decorate ii as it Is and let it
alone. or to remodel all work below the
cOrnice
Mr.. Walter proposed to increase the ap-
pearance of strength of the present pilas-
tiers by the addition of outer columns and
a modified cornice above. His ideas were
that, with the great mass added by the
construction of the new DOME the old
pilasters presented an element of weakness
and required Encouragement.
Our additional proposal is that we add a
casting of marble. suitably disposed as to
color, and carry the same to the cornice,
and reconstruct the latter in marble Also.

Kinvara was, and probably is yet, an
disappearing district, for, although the
national school has been an institution
there ever since the planting of that intel
lectual exotic in Irish soil, the old ways and
the old ideals have, nevertheless, held their
own. The Celtic spirit breathes in Gould
Kinvara'' still, as why should 1t not?
Within sight Of what have not inaptly been
called THE Last Fortress of the Celt"-

sound of the league-long breakers that en-
circle them with a belt of foam, it is not
to be wondered at that the principles that
made those islands sanity and stored

and designed by Thornton was considered
to afford, when completed in 1880. ample
accommodations for then existing and prob
able future needs of the country, but the
tremendous progress of the nation, the in
crease of population and consequent legis-
lative representation soon proved the old
Capitol was too small to properly accom-
modate the legislative department of the
government.
Then came the first extensions, begun in
1851 and completed in 1859. Congress au-
thorized and Walter carried out the con-
struction of the marble additions at the
north and south. Walter adhered faithful
ly to the spirit of the original: and real1z-
ing that the future might again find the
Capitol Inadequate in accommodations he
turned his attention to the preparation of
plans for extension to the eastward of
the present building, an extension which
would harmonic with what already exist
ed; which would give additional beauty to
the splendid dome he had designed and
erected, and which he hoped would some
day grace a completed structure.
Walter has left as an heritage the plans
which L now present you for consideration
He has left us a picture of his conception
of the completed Capitol What greater
tribute TO his remarkable genius could be
paid than to say that. if completed in &C
cordance with his plans, the Capitol will
gain splendid addition. and yet, as one
views it from the view point supposed in
the perspective. it is still the Capitol 1t
would seem sacrilege to offer any plan for
consideration than the Walter plan. We
may safely be guided by the thought, the
effort and the production of this great
mans genius. I do not think this plan
should be altered in any particular SO far
as concerns the exterior proportions and
aignments. AS relates to the interior ar
rangement of rooms the requirements of
the times different and changes are eS-
Sential i'll the interior arrangement of the
Walter plan to suit existing conditions. 1,
therefore, take the liberty of presenting a
plan in which these notifications are set
forth. In the modified plan it will be seen
that while the splendid marble corridor
leading to the rotunda is preserved, re-
effected. giving as great number as pos
for the House and a like number for the
Senate.
The construction of this addition will cost,
approximately. 81. so 900, and while it in
wolves the removal of the old portico at
the east, 1t does not involve the removal of
the principal walls of the old and historical
portion of the Capitol The present front
wall of the old building remains as the rear
wall of an open court, which lights the west
side of the proposed new addition
In the proposed addition ample provision
is made for elevators. stairways and corri-
dor connection with the corridors of the
north and south wings, as we'll as for direct
communicat on with the rotunda from the
east.
The details of construction, such as
arches and other masonary work, marble
and plaster work. remain the same as in
the wings. No departure from this idea
will be made. One should be able to pass

where else, he worked his way to popu
lar favor. winning golden opinions from
all sorts OF people and obtaining vogue
such as has never been gained by any
of the other American pugilists, from
John c. Heenan down. Much of o Briens
success was undoubtedly due to his per

social success. To win the hearts of the
followers of the boxers game in Eng

liver the goods-must prove his ability

O'Brien succeeded in his mission has been
demonstrated in his unbroken series of
victories, and the general regret expressed
by the sporting men OF England when he
announced his intention of departing for
the Sta.es. Americans in general and
Fhilddeiphians in particular are naturally
elated over his success abroad, and will
await with pleasurable expectancy the
chance to see for themselves the improve

through the amateur classes. O Brien will

in a six-round bout. Walsh is one of a
half-dozen boxers who have expressed
their desire to meet O'Brien, and was
given the preference by Manager Julian

If is for New York. Pittsburg, and Gin
cinnati to be admitted to the American
League, for the Boston clubs to amalga-
mate and Cleveland to drop out, making
a ten-c club circuit and killing the National
League I; is a pretty idea. and, accord
ing to Brush entirely feasible but John
son Is not likely to take the same view
In making up the circuit Brush places
the clubs as follows
Boston-American League Club, to be

and Billings.

work, and, as rule, most sports and
pastimes are Sd devoid OF mental effort
that they are almost as bad as no exer-
else at all when viewed from the stand
point of a necessary conjunction of ply
steal and mental development. II re-
quires no effort of the brain power to
swim or ride a bicycle.
In this connection bowling is she ac-
tual antithesis of any foregoing conjunc-
tons that possibly might otherwise have
been conceived from an ailiterative view
point. There are only few objections to
bowling from conservative viewpoint
Bowling tends to develop the muscles of
one side of the body at the expense Of
the muscles of the other side. In order
to counterfeit this. bowIers should give
all the exercise possible TO muscles of the
left side Of the body, assuming of course,
that they are right handed bowlers
Another point is the precautionary
necessity of being entirely cooled before
going into the open air. Many cases of
pneumonia are caused by bOwlers rushing
out into the cold air while they are aglow
from the exercise"

What Falls Count

To the Sporting Editor of The Times:
viii you kindly inform me through
your paper the falls that it takes to
win in wrestling match? DO the shout
ders and hips have TO touch the mat, or
lust the shoulders"
The customary stipulation is that only
the shoulders must be made to touch
tboth at once). and that they be held in
this position for an appreciable length of
time This is known as a pin fall. AT
times both shoulders touch for a traction
of a second. but the wrestler wriggles out
of danger. This is known as a dying fall
and does not usually count.
