An article on fratidsin jewelry 'n'c ' '
ly published in The Evening 1'ost having -
ing attracted considerable attention ,
n gcntloninn thoroughly familiar with
the trade vas applied to yesterday for
some further information on the sub
ject. Ho said thai the l frauds in
natch-case making , caused by execs
sivo competition , liad now necomo si >
general that prices had been "cut
to an extent extieinery damaging to
all honewt niannfacttires Tlio jobbers
wcro primarily responsible forthocul ,
those in Chicago having been the
" pioneers in this class m swindling,1
which was now contincd to 110 city.
They w onld demanel that case-makers
should furnish them with casts only
twelve or fenntecii carats fines ,
lint stamped eighteen emits
ISlany small manufacturers would
yield to this temptation rather than
lose trade , and from the beginning
they were ie.idilyle.iel on l < > make
ten-carat casing , falsely stamped , and
to induce b.ise metal in various parts
of the case. Many of these no-called
geild watches were not stamped at all
with any mark of quality , and the
sellers could not be held legally re
sponsible for swindling , as gold was
tlin component part of the chief value
Yet largo numbers of watches were
sold as gold which contained u greater
weight of steel and brass. A very
thick stool Bjuing weighing twelve or
fourteen pennyweights , was insettled
in the rim , technically known as the
"centre" of the watch ; the ciown and
sli.ink of the stem were hollowed
out and filled with brass , and a brass
wiie was run thiough the ring by
which the watch was attached to the
chain. In fact , many coses were cut
wherever a grain of i/old could bo
saved , and stool or brass was inserted ,
The leading watch manufacturers of
this city , this gentleman s.iid , had re
cently formed a combination to protect
themselves against thisdishoncstcom-
pctiiion in the only way possible bj
agreeing tosnbjcct themselves to hoary
loss for a time by reducing the r.ites of
genuine cases to those which were
barged for the articles known as
"skin cases. " In order to do this
they wcia obliged to sell the cases at a
less increase on the value of the gold
than the actu.il cost of workmanship ,
Loping thoiobj' to break down the
fraudulent rivaljy which had been
grow ing steadily for the last few years
until now it seems to have ic.iehed its
culmination.
In addition to the alleged gold
watches which has been described , ho
said that quantities of "filled"
watches were made , many of
which weio undoubtedly sold as
genuine articles. Such a watch-
casowas manufactured of veiy thin
lajors of gold , with a layer of base
metal between , the whole being
"nwoatcd" together. Really it was a
gilt watch , but it w ould last for ton
years before the surface was woin
through , and was innocent enough
when sold for what it was. In the
hand of unscrupulous doileis , how
ever , it was very dangerous. An ex
pert could readily elotoct its character
by the color and weight , as w ell as by
the use of acids , but with any ordinary
customer it w ould easily pass for geild.
Such a watch-case , worth some ? 2lt ,
would in genuine gold bo vvoith § GO or
$70.
$70.As
As there v\as no hope of gutting iuiy
legislation in tin's country which
would guard against the poipcti.ition
of the frauds in question , this gentle
man declared that only ono way re
mained for the public to protect itself I ,
in the matter. This was for every' '
purchaser of a golel watch to demand
n written certificate from the niami-
factmer that the case was "of solid
eighteen cni.it gold throughout. "
"
\Vlion private customers gonoially in
sisted upon such coitilicates , the re
tail dealers and jobbers would icquiro
them from the niakeis , who would , of
course , bo held legally losponsiblu for , ,
the correctness of the guaranty. O'c
Ho said that flauds similar to those ho ]
practiced in watch cases tan through
every line of jovvohy and gold work.
The stanelaiel fineness of watch chains , |
" was in this country fourteen carats , j,0 ,
"being two carats less than in England , , ,
us the lower giado was harder ami
were bettor. Yet it was now ex
tremely ditlicuU to find a genuine
fourteen carat chain in this nmikot ,
nearly all the chains sold as such not
assaying more than twelve e.uats.
Frequently the swivels were stamped
fouitoon carats , thereby leading to
the false belief that the chains wcro
of thosamo fineness. Ho regretted to
nay that such weie manufactured and
Hold oven by thins of good i ( imitation ,
and that retailers who bought them
from jobbers wet o often deceived as
well us the customer. In thi.Hiimttoi ,
as in regaid to watch cases , the exac
tion of an explicit written guaranty
was the only method of pioteuting the
purchaser. "Filleel" and plated
chains were usually sold upon their
merits , and chiolly in the luder pails
of the country.
Thousands of wedding lings , ho
said , were annually manufactured ,
.filled with a brass wiie run thiough
tlio center of thu circlet , and stamped
with a device resembling an eighteen-
carat quality mark , though in reality
it signified nothing. There was no
doubt that these were sold as gold ,
and many of them at but little less
than the legitimate price of gold. In
the manufacture of fancy gold neck-
chains for ladies' vrear , it was neces
sary that the links should bo made
hollow in order to gi\o them the pro
per degree of elasticity. Hence they
were spun over a copper w ire , which
was aftoward , by honest makers , en
tirely destroyed by the nsoof a stiong >
acid. It was now a common piactico ,
however , to use a solution of acid
which crumbled away only iiaits of the
wire and left little segments of cop
per to increase the weight of the
chains. Piobiibly nine-tenths of the
Jiollow-lii.k chains , which weio sold
to dealers by weight , contained more
or less of this copper filling. Cameo )
rings of unadulterated gold wcro iaio-
ly obtained by purchasers , the prac
tice being to run a brass wire through !
the "shank" or circlet , and frequent
ly to insert a thick piece of brass at
the back of the stone , beneath a thin
gold layer , Sleeve buttons , sold as
gold , were also frequently backed
with brass , or were of silver with a
gold voneor.
He mentioned ono noted jewelry
1711 in this city , who , always closely
watching the clmractor and prices of 11
i goods supplied to them , had simples
i of the articles assayed whenever any
'circumstance ' excited suspicion of their
quality. If the slightest fraud was
discovered , the goods wcrU * "promptly
returned to the maker , and his rela
tions with the firm wcro permanently
ended. The only safety for the pub
lic , anart from written guarantees , w as
the practice e > f dealing with firms of
established high reputation , and con
senting to pay the value of the articles
ifdtsnod. lluvois Iliad been led to
believe that they could got a gold
dollar's worth foi fifty-fiyo cents , and
the sooner they relinquished that de
lusion the better it would bo for them
and the honest trade.
'Sqnlre Bray's Courtship.
'Squiro Uray , of Caswell , North
Carolina , was hunting another wife ,
but his son Hoi ) , a wihf blade , knock
ed him out of it. In the capacious
breast pocket ot the 'Squire s great
coat reposed a pint tickler , well lillod ,
that the 'Squire only proponed using

Widow lirown , Now just before ho
started , Deb slipped the tickler out
and put in its place n small alarm-
clock , catefnlly wound up and sot for
11 p in. The 'Squire had sat Uio fire
out and was well on with his overxoat ,
holding the widow's hand at the door
and putting his sweetest licks for tlin
last. "Yes , your first husband , my
dear , was ono of my best friends , and
we'll visit his and my lost Hannah's
graves , won't wo love ? " "Ah , yes ,
for whore was thcro a sweeter woman
than your poor Hannah ? " asked the
widow. "A good woman ; she was
good enough , but there's a living ono
just as sweet , " said the 'Squire , and
lie was drawing her to him for a kiss ,
when whi//-wi/-/.i//or-wi//or-hii7or-

clock went oil' in side of him. "Oh ,

said she'd liaunt me ! She alters told

piessed to his breast and the clock
still striking , ting , ting. Ho rode

In a round , mellow voice , singular
ly unlike that of his loyal cousins , the
commander in-chief talks affably and
tolerantly of aimy sjstems , now and
old. Ho is intrenched behind an
enormous writing-table , on which ev
er thing is as big , solid and substaii'
tin ! as if it weio emblematic of the
mental and physical condition of its
master. As the quality of his voice ,
almost entirely free fiom gutteral
sounds , is strikingly unlike that of
Queen Victoria's sons , so is his intona
tion distinctly and pmoly English , and
as a clear , coherent , and impressive
speaker in public ho has few equals. It
is , perhaps , duo to the fact that his
father was an Englishman that his to
speech is free from any touch of the
foreign accent so remaikablo in the
royal family ; yet ho speaks German
perfectly , without tlio faintest English
accent. When talking to two of his gov
equerries , Gen. Macdonald or Col ,
Tyi\vhitt , ho always speaks in English
and to Capt. Mildmay almost invaria I

A Bath-rooia , Pnrtin
There is alwajs a sadness in parting
which is heroic ; there is always a sorrow
row in saying farewell which conso-
ciatcs the moment to "irtue , "My
Native I and , Good-night' " was not
the irony of the exiled libertine , but
the sigh of the despairing poet. Those
who hav u heard "Farewell My Own , "
warbled by an exhausted tenor with
the last " 1'inaforo"
tiouno of summer
can appreciate the mellanlo sadness of
the thought , The picturesque story
of a ptr-ing between two young lovers
of Chicago h is somehow grow n to a
whisper , and is causing a sctmtion in
certain knowing circles of the city.
Several days ago a young man , who
was about "sailing out in the west" in
search of fortune and fame , found the
day of his dopatturo at hand and a
fair young girl with black eyes to bo
loft behind. They wore "sweet
hearts , " with the approving smiles of
parents , and ho was going west to
make a nest somewhere in which ho
would in time install her. 13nt the
brightest , hopes and fondest expccta
tions of the future could not quite
dispel the sorrow of partiiifj. Tw o or
throe ycais , though nothing in the
life woik or life happiness of the
young people , is a dreary waste to
those separated after , daily com
panionship of jears , from childhood
to matutity. And so ho was cast
down , and she was all red w ith weep
ing and nervous with emotion. But ,
brave gitl , she would not lot him see
her soirow ; she would bid him God
speed with a blight face and cheering
words. And so tesolving , she cried
herself to sleep the night bofoio , The
next morning she aiose l.ito , and ,
anticipating his last call , hurried to
make herself ftesh and bright for him.
But quick on the heels of her rising ,
carnage dashed up to the gate , fol
lowed by a prolonged pull of the boll ,
and in n minute moro the departing
lover was In the pallor.
"I have just tlinu , " ho said to her
mother , breathlesly , "to bid her
gool-l5J. and catch the train. "
"llut , cried her mother , aghast ,
"she is intljo bath-toom ! "
"Then letVio shako hands with her
through the floor , for I have but ten
minutes to gel to thoelepot. "
It was a critiM moment , but with
her hc.ut full of sympathy for the two
young people , the mothoi said jes ,
and , leading the way thiough the hall
and up stalls , showed the expectant
young man into the room of his adored
