WHITE HOUSE SILVER.
Has Some of Dolly Mndison's Table
ware Been Melted:
NVashineton Starr

About two years ago some Of the old
fashioned silyerware belonging TO the
table-service Of the White House was
melted and made up into forks and spoons
of modern size and design. This action
was taken by General Wilson, then in
charge Of public buildings and grounds,
by direction OF Mrs. Cleveland. and was
due to the fact that the original pieces
were too large and unwieldly for use.
It IS now said that some Of the silver
pieces thus modernized belonged 10 the
celebrated lot always associated with the
name and fame Of Dolly Madison, but
il is extremely difficult to obtain any in
formation on this point.
General Wilson says he doesn't know
anything about the identity Of the pieces.
He received them from the steward or
the White House, and saw them melted
into a brick in the crucible at the Urea
sury Department They were,not mark
ed IN any way, and he doesn't know
whether they were ever part Of the Dolly
Madison collection or not. He did not
know, however, that they were too large
for any practical use at a meal
He also knew that when the silver was
melted into ingots Il was turned over
to q local firm OF jewellers for manufacture
into forks OF different sizes for use on
the Presidents table. The old silver is
there lust the same, and is changed only
in form.
II was specially enieined on the silver
smiths that absolutely no other silver
than that obtained from the ingots be
used I'm the manufactured articles. ana
satisfactory evidence on this point has
been given. The new forks are simple.
but beautiful in design. following what
10 iFsrros "a NIL n T.
tern 1t IS said that the local dealers
had them made by the firm Of William
Il. Dugin & Sons, Of Concord, Mass.

House. who was there throughout the
last administration. treats the matter as

spoons are still in the White House, and

ne said. but he evaded the question as
to whether there were any forks In the

replying with the question: "How could
they have used the Madison spoons. when
there were no spoons IN the lot"
In a recent article in regard, 10 Official
receptions at the White House. ex-Presi-
dent Harrison made the following refer
ences TO the Dolly Madison silver:
