In tearing out the interior of the
White House much has been learned
about its architecture. According to
experts, the outside walls of the man
sion are of perfect construction, and
are said to be more solid and substan-
tial than those built in the present day.
1t was discovered, however, that some
of the interior brick arches had be-
come dangerously weak, and had fall
en- into state of decay. In few
|places the old foundation was opened
| and found to be in need of repair, and
new retaining walls have been built
to brace up the substructure.

Skeleton Found Under
Basement of the White House

Washington, Aug. 4.--What are said
to be portions of human skeleton
were discovered by workingmen who
were digging below the old basement
of the White House day or two ago
They came across the grewsome col
lection, consisting of arms and legs
while making an excavation wherein
to locate the new heating apparatus
for the remodeled Executive Mansion.
They had dug down about ten feet
below the floor of the basement when
they encountered what seemed to be
a foundation wall of house which
evidently stood on the site before the
present White, House was constructed
a hundred years, ago. A large oven
was built into, the wall, and it was
near by that the bones were found.
The discovery frightened the colored
workingmen who unearthed the skel
eton, and 1t required a great deal OF

YOUNG VANDERBILT
To Wed Beautiful and Charming
Kathleen Nelson.

Newport, r. l., Aug. Alt Is stated
here on good authority that the engage
ment of Reginald c. Vanderbilt and
Miss Kathleen Nelson will be an
nouned soon, and that it will be ac-
knowledged in a more public manner
by an elaborate dinner which Mrs.
Frederick Nelson will give in the Ca
sino grill room next Thursday in their
honor. Sixty guests, all young peo,
pie, have been invited to the dinner.
The engagement, it is said, will be
the elimination of genuine love af-
fair, veritable old-time romance.
Beauty, wealth and social position are
represented in the highest possible de-
gree in the persons of Kathleen Nelson
and Reginald Vanderbilt. The Neil
sons are famous for personal charms.
Miss Knthleen's sister, Mrs. Arthur T.
Kemp, is noted beauty, and their
mother, Mrs. Frederick Nelson, is Of
face and figure which are the envy
and despair of many n Newport belle.
Her brother is Freddy" Gebhardt.
Kathleen Nelson is tall, erect and
swift of foot. Her hair is light brown,
her features regular and pleasing, with
an expression about the mouth and
light in the eye that are ineXpressibly
winning. She is girl of great serious
ness of character. One might sup
pose that her life had been saddened
by some great grief. 1t Is at least GER
tain that some influence has sobered
| this young queen of beauty, but hap
PLY 1t has not marred her good spirits
nor interfered with her enjoyment of
the proper pleasures of youth.
She is an extremely religious girl.
Her religion is no empty profession nor
fashionable fad. She is constant in
! her attendance at confession and mass.
and most devout in all religious duties.
Reginald Vanderbilt is a Protestant.
but not much OF church-goer. The
wedding will probably occur in New
York in September. Mrs. vanderbilt's 8
opposition was en- account Of the diff.
ference IL faith.

Something About Hon. D. c.
Goodman, of Ravenna.

sion, connecting the line with the B.
& o. and the Ft. Wayne roads, and,
giving the people of Ashland and con-
tiguous territory direct and short out
let to Cleveland.
Mr.. Goodman, although in his 10Th
year, is as agile as boy, tramping
through hot sun and rain in country
of hills and swamps, with as much
vigor as in the palmy days of earlier
life.
NIIA Goldman Is veteran engineer
of distinguished record. He helped
survey and construct the first railroad
in the county over 80 years ago-the
road that still retains its first name of
the Cleveland X Pittsburg, but which
has for long years been incorporated
into the Pennsylvania system. He
was also chief engineer. of the old At
lantic & Great Western, and is in fact
the father of it's location and construc-
ton. In after years he was the pro-
prietor of the famous Diamond Glass

and repeatedly delegate to its con-
ventions. State and National. He was
candidate for Lieutenant Governor in

receiving a handsome complimentary
vote over the State in that heavy Re-
publican year. He is one of the hon
ored figures of Northeastern Ohio, re-
tanning the strong forces of mind and
leadership TINT have kept him in the
van of progress and perpetuated his
name and influence. He is, in short,
a grand old man. who will leave a
rare legacy of character, honor and
citizenship when he is called from
earth.
