SKELETON UNDER
THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-workmen
employed in tearing out the inside OF
the White House last week unearthed
deep down under the basement a por-
ton of a human skeleton. Strenuous
efforts have been made to keep the dis
covery secret pending careful investiga-
ton. The workmen have been caution
ed not to discuss the subject, and the
most rigid regulations have been adopt
ed to prevent persons not actually en-
ployed in the work from entering the
building.
The mysterious discovery was made
while laborers were excavating sub
cellar below the floor of the. basement
for new heating apparatus. Aztec 60
ing down about ten feet massive stone
vault was encountered. 1t proved to be
what was apparently the foundation
walls of an old house that had evidently
stood on the spot where the White
House was afterward erected. In this
same excavation was found an immense
oven embedded in a stone wall, and IN
close proximity to the oven were found
the bones. The workmen believed they
had unearthed an ancient tomb, and the
negroes fled in terror.

turning to the men, he said, LET me
speak to his lordship. to whom l am
well known, and he will pay the debt
and your charges into the bargain"
The balllffs thought they might ven

three yards OF the coach, and acceded
TO the request. Joe boldly advanced

lordship ordered the coach to stop,

the two men were suffering from such
scruples OF conscience that he feared
they would hang themselves, suggest
