Imlttlna of Old Bronze.
An excellent imitation of old bronze
has been introduced in some of the art
products of that diameter. It is well
known that the repeated applications to
copper or brass of alternate washes of
dilute acetic acid and exposure to tho
fumes of ammonia result in a very an
tique frreen bronze; but a more rapid
. method of producing this beautiful ap-
iearance lias Joiiir been a desideratum,
t is now found that this ma' be siccom
plished by immersing the articles in a
solution of one-psirt perchloride of iron

ing darkness with length of immersion,

vAalso found practicable to insure the
desired eneet by immersing the articles
in a solution of two ounces of nitrate of

.After a long interval, a long period of
neglect, the yea 1829 saw a revival in
the taste for fans. It chanced that a
grand ball was preparing at tho Tuiler
ies, at which several "eostume quad
rilles" were to be dnnced. Mme. la
Duches.se de Berri had undertaken to
get up a Louis XV quadrille, and was
seeking everywhere had sought every
where in vain for fans of that period.
Suddenly some one remembered having
cen some old fans in the hop window
of a perfumer named Yanier, who lived
iu the line Caumartin. Vanier had col
lected old fans for some time as an ama
teur. His. fans wero taken to the pal
ace; in the quadril'e they created a
furor and were all purchased. The

AN ALIBI.
The man4who sits down to deliber
ately plan a crime works every point
and detail to one common center
an alibi. The law has common sense
enough in this one particular to pre
sume that a man who is in Boston,
for instance, when a murder is com
mitted in Cincinnati could not have
fired the shot or struck the blow.
Therefore, let one accused of crime
prove to the jury that he was at
some other point at a certain critical
hour, and he must be declared inno
cent. This knowledge makes the
alibi a favorite defense. If not clear
ly proved, it always raises doubts
and affords opportunity for argu
ment. On the other hand, however,
when an alibi is fairly beaten by the
prosecution, then circumstantial evi
dence becomes the death trap ol the
accused, and he has no show.
One of the best laid alibis I ever
ran up against in my career as a de
tective, and one of the easiest to
work out after I got the end of the
thread in hand, was put forward in
a case in Iowa about twenty years
ago. The situation was this: In a
small village in the western part ot
the State lived a Miss Clarinda
Moore, a spinster about forty
five years of age. She was
worth fifty thousand dollars,
and she had adojpted a boy
named Byron Fergus. At the date
ol which I am writing this boy wag
no longer a boy, but a young man
of twenty-three. He was employed
as a clerk in a dry-goods house, and
boarded and lodged at home. He
was adopted at the age of twelve,
and on the day he reached his ma
jority Miss Moore made a will leav
ing him everything. This fact was
known to all in the village. Fergus
was a model young man. No one
could point out a single bad habit.
He was trusted and respected by all,
and had he been accused of the slight
est dishonesty no one would have
believed the charge.
In a smaller village six miles away
Fergus had an aunt; who was a
widow and lived alono, with the ex
ception of having the company of a
servant girl. He was in the habit
of going over thore about once in
two months and remaining over
Sunday. On these trips he drove a
horse and buggy belonging .to the
village cooper. The horsa had a
peculiar habit which will be described
hater on. One Saturday evening of
a July day Fergus drove away on
one of these trips. There were' two
or three women at the gate in com
pany with Miss Moore whenhedrove
away. Tne only thing out of the
usual run was the remark that
Byron looked rather pale and seemed
a bit nervous, but probably this
would never have been thought of
but for what came to pass.
At eleven o'clock that nigh.t there
was a thunder-storm, and an insur
ance agent who was on the road be
tween the two villages, with horse
and buggy, drove into a fence corner
and sheltered himself as well as possi
ble with the waterproofs. In the
midst of the storm a horse and bug
gy came along. The driyer was so
enveloped by waterproofs that the
agc:t ccidd not tell whether he was
old or young, large or small, black
or white. At that spot the road had
been graded up and was very soft.
The stranger was urging the , horse
to trot, but the beast found the mud
too deep, and could only proceed at
a walk. As the strange horse came
opposite there was a long, vivid
flash of lightning, and the agent saw
that the animal had his head turned
to the right and his tongue out.
this was, the peculiar habit of the
cooper's horse when on a walk.
When trotting he held up his head
and kept his tongue back. The agent
identified the horse to his perfect sat
isfaction, and called out to the driv
er, asking who he was. Instead of
nalting or replying the man struck
the horse sharply with the whip and
was out of sight in a moment.
"That's old Shepperd (the cooper),
and he's afraid lam a highwayman.5"
laughed the agent, and, the rain now
beginning to cease, he made ready to
resume hisjourney.
Miss Moore was an early riser, and
moreover never missed church ser
vices. A3 the day was fine and she
was not seen at church, two or three
of her friends called at the house on
their way to ascertain her excuse.
They found the curtains down and
the doors locked. As they knew of
young Fergus going to his aunt's the
evening previous they reasoned it
out that he must have returned dur
ing the night for Miss 'Moore, she
perhaps being wanted for an emer
gency. This theory satisfied them
until lour in the afternoon, when one
of them returned to gather a bou
quet of flowers. She then noticed
bloody finger-marks on the back
door, and, trying the door, found it
unlocked. She dared not enter the
house, but two cr three men were
summoned to make an investigation, j
and m a few moments it was discov
ered that a murder had been commit
ted. The dead body of Miss Moore
was found ia the sitting-room at the
door of her bed-room. She had been
struck three terrible blows with a
club qr other blunt weapon, each one'
breaking the skull.
I was visiting the sheriff at this
time, and we were driving through
the village when the first alarm was
sounded. I was, therefore, at the
house among the first, and being
placed in charge by the sheriff I kept
the people out until I could make an
investigation. The murderer had not
obtained forcible entry to the house.
Not a single article of value had been
removed, nor had any ransacking
been done. The woman had been
struck down where the body lay, but
her bands were clenched asif she had
grasped the weapon of death and it
had been pulled away fron her. The
palm of one hand was torn and bleed
ing. , I did not know either the dead
woman or Fergus, but I wanted au
thority to arrest the latter. When
this fact became known I was regard
ed as an idiot or a lunatic. A gener
al cry went up that Fergus could no
more be suspected than an angel in
Heaven, but while the sheriff was left
ta secure the necessary papers I drove
out to interview the young man and
break the news to him. If Fergus
was guilty his defense would be an
alibi, and he carefully arranged the
details. He would be expecting the
news, and he would be braced up to
play a part.
I found him making ready to hitch
up to drive back. He had never seen
me before, and he did not know my
frofession. As I entered the barn he
ooked startled and turned pale, but
recovered himself after a minute, and
asked the nature of any business.
"You know, of course, that Miss
Moore is dead?" I carelessly replied.
"How-how should I know it!" he
exclaimed, turning very white.
"Well she is dead, poor thing."
"And do they charge me with it?"
"With what?"
"Her murder?"
"I hadn't said she was murdered.
I told you simply that she was dead.
How did you know she had been
murdered?"
He saw the trap he had fallen into,
and he gasped and stammered and
did his best to smooth it over I pre
tended - not.to lay it up as a point
against him, and speedily arranged
that he should return in my vehicle
and leave the cooper's rig where it
was. After the first shock he braced
up wonderfully, and his demeanor
on the way home was entirely that
of an innocent man. He expressed
great willingness to give us all possi
ble information, but at the same
time advanced and clung to the
theory that no one but a tramp
could have been guilty of the crime.
Upon reaching home he displayed
considerable grief and emotion. In
fact, he rather overdid it. It was
more like acting out a part. The
people were indignant that he should
be suspected, and he was not put
under restraint. Indeed, no warrant
had been issued for him.
Earlv the next morning, satisfied
in my "own mind that Fergus was
the murderer, I drove out to his
aunt's. I found that he arrived
there at seven o'clock Saturday
night. Half an hour later he com
plained of headache and went to bed.
saying he would .be down again by
nine o'clock. As he did not keep his
Erbmise, the hired girl knocked on
is door at that hour, but receiving
no reply, was told not to disturb
him. He was not seen by the in
mates of the house until seven o'clock
Sunday morning. The girl was up
at five, and as she crossed the yard
she saw that his window was up,
and some of his clothing was hang
ing in the sun. At the bani I found
the cooper's buggy washed clean.
Fergus had done this Sunday, fore
noon. He had not made a good job
on the horse, however, and I found
plenty of mud on his fetlocks. As it
was dusty Saturday night when he
was driven over, this mud must have
been picked up after the storm. I
bund the harness stiff and damp
from being wet, and the cloth cushion
of the buggy was still damp. Hunt
ing further, I found the fresh tracks
of horse and buggy turning into the
barn-yard after the rain. The win
dow of the room occupied by Fergus
opened on the roof of the shed. At
the lower edge of the roof stood a
leach, On the edge of this leach and
pn the roof I found mud. On the car
pet in Fergus' room I found more of
it. He had scraped and cleaned his
boots and flungthe dirt into a stove,
whence I got half a pound.
All thisl got without the aunt sus
pecting that I was alter proofs. I
then returned to the scene of the mur
der, and after an hour's search dis
covered the place where a horse had
been hitched for some time. It was in
the rear of the house, on an open
space and under a tree, and tho
horse had pawed up the ground and
gnawed the bark of the tree. The
footprints of a man could be faintly
traced across the garden, and I had
no doubt that Fergus came and went
this way. On the' fourth day after
the funeral I learned from the in
surance man what he had seen dur
ing the storm, and then a warrant
was issued and Ferjinis was taken in
to custody. By this tiraethe towns
people had begun to think it a queer
case. Fergus had gone over the
house and declared that noticing had
been taken. No suspicious characters
had been noticed in.the neighbor
hood. Jewelery and money had
been left lying on the bureau, show
ing thai; the object could not have
been plunder. Bid the woman have
an enemy? No, not one, as far as we
could learn. Who could profit by
her death? No one but Fergus, and
yet this was one of the strong points
he brought forward. It was known
to a score of people that she had
made her will in his favor. Would
not everything be his at her death?
To clinch our case and make cir
cumstantial evidence good we must
show a motive. This seemed hope
less, but I went at the task; hoping
evidence misht aid m-a if Fergus was
guilty. I examined his personal ef
fects over and over again in search
of a hintbut for two weeks after he
had been sent to jail I discovered
nothing.' Then I got the clue where
I ought to have secured it Jfore. In
n. drawer in his desk I found several
udvurtisements plainly in the inter-:
est cf swindlers. One of them read::
"A steady yonne man with f 10,000 cash :
capital can doable it in one year in a lejriti-
mate enterprise. Fof particulars address
Box 891," etc
Another read:
If you have nerve and f 5,000 In cash we
will make yon a millionaire in one year. We
permit the fullest investigation before in
vestment. Write for particular."
A third just hit the case:
"Are you a yong and ambitious man,
feeling that you could get ahead if properly
backed and encouraged? Have you any
money? Can you get from $1,000 to $3,000?
If bo we will positively gmarantee you $100
in ret a rn for every dollar, and inside of a
year."
I felt sure he had written some of
these parties,- but as I could not find
any letters from them I set ont to
hunt them up in person. They were
bold-faced swindlers, and they both
ered me some, but in the end I got
five letters written by Fergus. In one
of them he stated that he would
soon have money to invest, and ex
pressed his satisfaction at the parti
culars of the speculation as far as
given him. The greed of gain, then,
was his incentive. The woman who
had been mother and sister to him
came of a long-lived race, and was in
good health, and a month before
her death was told by a doctor in
the. hearing of Fergus that she was
likely to live to be ninety or one hun
dred years old. Until her death the
young man could hope for little
or nothing, as she was obliged to
make the interstate of her capital
support her.
Murderer or not, the boy was the
legal heir; and he employed the best
legal talent in the west to defend him.
The lawyers might take every dollar
if they could but clear him. It was
a veritable fight for life with all the
money and most of the talent on one
side, but that web of circumstantial
evidence kept drawing closer and
closer, and it could neither be broken
nor explained away. Had Fergus
been innocent a frank reply to each
question would have explained it.
Being guilty, his evasions only made
matters worse. The jury were out
fourteen hours before finding a ver
diet of guilty, but within an hour he
had made a full confession. He told
me that he had been planning, for
two months, and that he believed
he had arranged details until his
case could withstand the most min
ute investigation of the highest de
tective talent. N. Y. Sun.
A Grave-digger Passes a Bad "Sight,
A few nights ago, says a Philadel
phia paper, while a party of young
men and women were walking under
the shade trees skirting the Lafayette
cemetery, they were startled by a
number of wild cries issuing from the
center of that burying ground. The
hour was about 9, and although
there were twenty persons about,
none ot them at first could muster
enough courage to go in. Then some
of them, guided by the sound, made
their way between the graves to a
vault near the center of the cemete
ry. The vault top rises only a few
inches above the ground, and there
are a number of holes piercing the
sides, and the investigators threw
themselves prone before this.
For a time they could see nothing.
Then one of the watchers discovered
the outlines of a moving form, and
another piercing cry rent the air.
Satisfied now that the thing within
was a ghost, the men sprang to their
feet and ran like mad for the streets.
The mystery was not explained un
til officer Smith passed that way.
Just as he reached the vault in ques
tion he noticsd the white face of a
man who was lying on the floor in
side. He promptly broke in the door
and found James Clarke, one of
the grave diggers, in a half uncon
scious condition, leaning against the
side of the vault. It was some min
utes before he could talk. Then he
said:
"I came into the vault yesterday
afternoon to. do some work. There
are seventeen bodies here. As I en
tered the door .closed with a bang,
and I saw that I was caught. The
lock is a spring lock, and opens only
from the outside. At grst I laughed,
but as no one came to my relief I
soon quit that. When night came I
was thoroughly frightened. There
was no fun in the prospect of passing
a whole night in a narrow vault with
seventeen corpses. Then I shrieked
for help, but no one -came. I must
have fainted, for when I awoke the
sun was shining. I knew no more
until you came. I'm going into some
other business now.
Legal lerbiasre.
The world has outrun the courts
and legal technicalities have out
lived their usefulness. The progress
of the people has been toward common-sense
methods in all tilings, and
the lawyers "whereases," "afore
saids," and "parties of the first part"
must be relegated to oblivion. There
is a demand springing up for plain,
direct English. There is really no
sound reason why, to a man of or
dinary intelligence, legal documents
should be unintelligible. The techni
cal verbiage emp!oed is a relic of
the age when that which was mys
terious and could not be understood
was esteemed to be beyond the com
prehension of the common herd. The
use of uncommon English in purely
business circles would not be endured.
Why, then, should the transfer of a
piece of property be a process so
labyrinthine and so mysterious that
a man of sound sense cannot fathom
it? . It has been estimated that the
droppings of the letter u in such
words as honour, labour, and the
like has added to the world each
year what is equivalent to the pro
ductive capacity of 500 able-bodied
men. What would we not gain if
from every legal paper and from ev
ery legal suit there should - be re

that antique verbiage, that bulk of
repetition and solemn senselessness
that now enwraps them as its shell
