GIVEN A LIGHT FINE
Youths Who We're Raiding
Street Cars Are Captured.

A man giving the name Of John An
derson. which is considered an alias by
the police. was fined SIS in police court
this morning for ''trespassing on rail-
road property" This charge is usually
preferred against tramps found sleeping
in box cars, but Anderson's case is DIFF
ferent. He was caught while in the act
of trying to crawl through a sleeping
car window.
When Rock Island passenger train
No. Is was standing Al the depot about
1890 this morning, passenger saw a
man raise a window from the outside.
and stick his head in Dropping out of
sight he tried another window. and re-
peated the performance. BY this time
the passenger was loaded for him. and
Selling the culprit by the neck, called
for the porter. The porter ran out and
found OFFICER jenkins, who arrested the
midnight visitor.
It was gathered from his actions that
he was looking for grips or other bag
gage. with a view to stealing the same,
and as the Pullman officials have re-
ceived a number Of complaints from the
vicinity Of Topeka it is probable that
Anderson, alias something else, has
made a business of robbing sleeping
cars.
The old street railway motive plant
in the Bottoms" has been a fruitful
source of revenue to junk thieves since
it was abandoned, and about all the
portable brass and copper fixtures have
been stolen up to date.
Sunday evening the police captured
Pete Gamlowsld and Fred Ash, youths
of 16 years each. while they were busily
engaged in transporting brass from the
old power house to an adjacent Junk
shop. They had a toy wagon loaded to
the scuppers with brass connections,
heavy copper wire circuits. and dynamo
brush plates-about $50 pounds in all
From this they expected to reap a har-
vest of u cents per pound from the junk
dealers. The youths are in the custody
of the Juvenile court, and the Street
Railway company has claimed the re-
suits of the theft-most of it mutilated
beyond repair.

entrances. The one toward the east is
 for official use and leads to the suite
 of apartments exclusively for the pres
 ident and the guests of the nation;
 the one toward the west is for the pub
 lie and gives immediate access to the
 ticket lobby.
 ''The building faces on a plaza 1000 feet long and 800 feet wide. The sta-
 tion proper is 620 feet long and 800 feet wide and the concourse behind is 760 feet long. The interior, as far as the main rooms are concerned, is roofed with Roman barrel vaults. The general waiting room with a clear width of 130 feet and a length of 220 feet will be 90 feet high. It is lighted by semi-circular window 75 feet in diameter on each side. The dining room east of the main waiting room is S0x100 feet and 35 feet high. The ticket lobby, already referred to, is 50x10o feet and 5 feet high, the same height as the dining room. The smoking room and the women's waiting room will be large apartments 30xs5, 2s feet high. The passenger concourse is 130 feet wide and 755 feet long, inside dimen- sions, covered by an arched ceiling in a single span, and, according to state- meIts of the architects, far exceeds in size anything ever built for a similar purpose"
 The exterior Of the station is to be of white granite from Bethel. Vt. There are to be 8 tracks. of which ten are stub tracks on the same level with the waiting room, and 13 are depressed 20 feet below the street level, some of them continuing under the building into a tunnel leading southward and constituting a through station.
 The Washington station will have no large span train shed. as it has been found that great sheds have not justi- fled their enormdas cost They are al- ways dark. dirty and leaky. and in winter afford small protection from the cold. In this particular case an enormous train shed SO near the capi- tol was regarded as tending to dwarf the dome of what must remain the most notable building in Washington. Instead of the train shed there will be umbrella sheds covering each plat. form and wide enough to overlap the trains and furnish protection from the weather
 The site of the station is very close to the national capitol the front of the building facing up Delaware ave nue directly toward the northwest cor ner of the capitol The grade of the locality where the station stands is to be raised abost 8 feet. the job of fIL ing alone being rather . big one re- quiring some 2.oco.oc9 yards of nev the raised area covering many acres

A Pretty candlelight Wedding and the Becomingness of the Soft Light -Prizs for Best Telegram
 Guessing the Courses.

A candlelight wedding was a most beautiful affair and so appropriate for winter. The upright piano held row of candle sticks, one high, one low. and when the candles were lit the effect was very pretty. The mantels were done the same way and the plate rail in the dining-room. Then there were tall holders, with a single tall candle in the corners of the room.
 The tall church candles were used, as they would burn several hours. Just before the ceremony two small boys dressed as pages came in with ribbon decorated gas-lighters and lit all the candles.
 The bridal party stood under an arch way and over the top fastened into the wire framework were hundreds of small white candles.
 The bridal table was decorated by a large wreath of green vines and white rosebuds. suspended by broad white ribbons about two feet from the table top. It had circle of burning candles. The bride. Of course, wore white. but the four maids were gowned in pink and every one said they never had seen a prettier wedding. Everything and everybody appears to good advantage by cardleligat

A DREAM IN STONE
SUCH WILL BE WASHINGTON
 TERMINAL STATION.
Covers More Ground Space Than the Capitol Building-Will Be One of the Finest Railroad De-
 pots in World.

To state that the crowning glory of Washington will be the great Terminal station, now building at the national capital, with the expectation of com pletion early in 1907, would be putting it too strong, but to say that it will be 6ne of the finest, if not the finest, rail- road station in the world is certainly within the compass of the facts.
 All of the railroads running into Washington are to be accommodated in the new building, and to make this possible the structure is to be of i'm mense size. being less than the capitol in one dimension only, that of height.
 In the dimensions of height and breadth it exceeds the capitol. the sta tion's length being 760 feet as against the capitol's 7i6 feet 6Is inches, and its breadth being 3i3 feet g inches as against the capitol's 20 feet 10 inches. The building is sort of a grand tri-
