Sattle, Dec. 21. The Great Northern
and Northern Pacific officials admit
that conspiracy to rob the two COM
panies has existed in Seattle for per-
iod Of four years. and losses running
into thousands Of dollars have result
ed. During that time freight cars have
been robbed and their contents and
goods consigned to one merchant have
been sold to another in the same line of
business in the same city. Tons upon
tons of merchandise, it is charged, have
been sent from Alaska to California, to
Oregon and interior western states, and
sold for what 1t would bring.
Herman Reinhart, James G. Graves
and p. j. Flynn, who have been ar
rested, are alleged ringleaders in the
conspiracy. The Northern Pacific, 1t is
said, is the heaviest loser and sums
paid by the company for '1ost goods
runs far into the thousands. The
Great Northern has not suffered to the
same extent.

MARY MANNERING,s TABLE

The home of Mary Mannering is In
New: York, and within its walls Miss Man
nering becomes Mrs. Hackett, and her
husband puts off the stock Of the stage
for the more convenient, if less becoming,
collar. The house has been filled UP with
luxury, but with a quiet taste, char
acteristic of the occupants, and with the
desire paramount to make of it a home.
The house deos contain one feature how
ever, unknown to most American homes,
If ot$5a1l.t This is the dining table,
While Mrs. Hackett was in Paris last
summer she CHANGED to dine off a most
G curious board, that not only served to
support the food but also furnished the
light for the room. This table had a
/ glass top, beneath which were numerous
electric lights. The idea pleased her, so
now there is similar novelty in her own
house.
= The table, of course, had to be made to
order. It Is in appearance much like any
other table, with curved mahogany legs
and a conventional cover. The top of the
table, however, is in reality a box several
inches. deep. The cover Of this box, which
is also the top surface of the table, is a
single plate Of heavy glass. Inside the
box, running on each side the length of the
+ table, are tM enty four electric lights OF
different coiors. The glass top is first
covered with a heavy oiled cloth, which
serves both to soften the surface and dim
& the glare Of heights. This is in turn
covered not with the ordinary covering

which is translucent. Beneath the table

Miss Josephine Corbin and Miss Mary A.
Mahon are in the state for two months to
organize and strengthen the interest IN
the Woman's Home Missionary society OF
the Methodist Episcopal church. Miss
Corbin is a national organizer and was in
the city last fall. For a number of years
she has had charge of the emigrant home
in New York and her work has brought
her in contact with thousands OF young
women.
Last year over 500 young women from
foreign countries were cared for at the
home which has made for itself a high
place in the estimation Of the officials on
Ellis island, so high that when a doubt

orally given: "Send her to the Methodist

she had a share in the manifold duties
which come to an institution which offers

experience in both the home and foreign
field has been large and practical.

Thanks to the generous purchases OF
? former presidents and the durability OF
the silver bought by them for the White
House, only a few trifling articles are now
necessary to complete supply sufficient
for the demands even of President and
Mrs. Roosevelts lavish hospitality.
The greatest treasure in the silver room
is a small oaken trunk bound with iron
and bearing upon the brass plate the name
flames Monroe" This is the original
trunk In which, during that administra-
ton, much, If not all, Of the White House
silverware was stored. There are also
three quaint silver trunks known as the
..DeTuyn trunks" made Of wood, COW
cred with leather and bound with iron.
In the line of table silver there are
nearly thousand solid silver forks Of all
sizes and kinds, besides 300 plated ones.
OF knives there are more than $50 and OF
spoons over TOO solid and 300 plated ones.
There is a most unique collection OF odd
silver in soup tureens, butter dishes, plat
tiers and plates, pitchers, teapots and cof-
fee pots, peppers and salts, sauce and
gravy boats, napkin rings and candle
snuffers, varying from the most useful to
the most fanciful ware imaginable. Presi-
dent Arthur was responsible for the in
olusion in the collection of most Of the
especially ornamental styles which are
less useful than they are "things of beauty
and joy forever
Three of the most notable pieces OF
considerable sizes are a silver ship rep
resenting the Pilgrim Fathers stanch lit
tie boat the Mayhower, bought at the
Centennial in Philadelphia in 1876; sill
ver-bound mirror for it to stand upon
purchased also at the Centennial, and q
huge plateau Of French gilt and plate
glass used at the state dinners,- wher
thirty-six ornate French gilt figures are
used with it.
The new official china ordered for the
White House. and made after an origina
copyrighted design, has a simple coIonia
pattern In gold, with the great seal of the
United States in colors in the center Of
each Of the 1896 pieces. The work is be-
ing done by the Wedgewoods, at Stoke
