FROm A BUSINESS STANDPOINT.

. the whisky question came up at the
regular meeting Of the board Of direc-
tors of the York Cotton mills last Tues
day afternoon, and after mature con-
sideration and thorough discussion, the
following was adopted:
Whereas, 1t has been brought to our
attention that movement Is on foot
in the town Of Yorkville, looking to
the establishment Of a dispensary In
said town, and
Whereas, In our judgment the sale
Of intoxicating liquors. legally or tlle-
gally, in the vicinity Of York Cotton
mills, Is detrimental to the best inter-
ests of both the operatives and stock
holders of said mills, Therefore, Be 1t
Resolved by the directors Of York Cot
ton mills assembled in regular month
ly meeting:
First: That we take this occasion to
commend the stand heretofore taken
by the president and superintendent
of said York Cotton mills, and the
hearty cooperation Of the operatives
and keep out, the handling, sale, and
use of liquors in the village and vicin-
ity Of York Cotton mills.
Second: That we pledge our contin-
uing support to said management and
operatives in their endeavors along
this line.
Third: That we enter our solemn
protest against the effort that Is being
made to introduce the legal sale Of IL
quors through dispensary in the town
of Yorkville:
Fourth: That we call upon the res
ident stockholders Of York Cotton
mills to use every honorable means to
prevent the establishment Of dispen-
sary in the said town.
During the discussion of the resolu-
tions, Superintendent Grimes gave
some interesting pointers on the whis-
key subject. He has had experience at
cotton mills where it was illegal to sell
whisky in the vicinity, and at mills

THEODORE H. Price continues to fill
the southern papers with kilograms
predicting an early and sharp advance
in cotton. He insists that conditions
warrant at least cents and he thinks
that much cotton will be sold at that
figure. There is a general feeling
among holders Of cotton that the price
ought to go higher; but so long as the
price of manufactured goods remains
at present figures there is not great
deal of encouragement to those who
look at all sides Of the subject.

HUMAN SKELETON UNEARTHED
UNDER THE WHITE HOUSE.
Negroes Employed ON Repairs Terror
Stricken and Could Hardly Re In
duced to Resume Work.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Aug. 3.-workmcr employed
in tearing out the interior of the White
House last week unearthed deep down under
the basement a portion of n human skeIe-
ton. The discovery created CONSERVATION
among the negro laborers. who are Of a
superstitious nature. and they ware only
kept at work with difficulty. Strenuous eff
forts have been made to keep the discovery
a secret.
Pending a more careful investigation of
the bones exhumed from such an unlocked
for but historical resting place. the most
rigid regulations have been adopted to pre-
vent persons not actually employed in the
mechanical work from entering the build
ing. Even clerks and messengers belong
ing to the executive force are excluded
under the existing order.
The mysterious discovery was made while
the laborers were engaged in excavating a
vast pit or subcellar below the floor CT the
basement for the new heating apparatus
After going down about 10 feet a massive
stone vault was encountered. It proved TO
be what were apparently TIE foundation
walls of an old house that had evidently
stood on the same spot where the White
House was afterward erected. 1t will be
remembered that the land upon which the
White House and adjacent public buildings
present condition by filling in and grading.
Other Interesting Discoveries.
In this same excavation was found an i'm
mense oven imbedded in the stone wall and
In close proximity to the oven were found
the bones. 1t was the discovery of the
bones in conjunction with the oven that
terrorized the workmen and caused them
to believe that they had unearthed an an
cient tomb.
During the tearing-out process many other
interesting discoveries have been made.
For instance. in the famous East Room
evidence of the fire OF 1874. when the man
sion was destroyed by the P-itish. was
disclosed. AS the walls were cut out for the
placing OF the new iron beam and sup
ports pieces of old burnt timbers were
found having been burnt of close up to
the stone walls. and left undisturbed when
the portion which was burnt was recon-
structed.
According TO experts, the outside walls of
the White House are of perfect construc-
ton, and said to be more solid and sub
stantial than those of modern times. Fault
Is found however, with some of the interior
brick arches and construction OF olden
times. Some of the latter were found to be
weak and in a state OF decay.
In a few places the ol6 foundation was
opened, and found to be in need of repair.
New retaining walls have been erected to
brace up the weak places so that there need
be no further apprehension about an inse-
ure foundation Of the White House.
