CANTON 10 the Public.

To avoid imposition, purchasers of Wal.
than watches will observe that every genu'
inc watch, whether gold or silver. bears our
trade mark on both case and movement.
Gold cases are stamped "a. w. Co." and
guarantee certificates accompany them. Sill
yer cases are stamped Am. Watch Co., Wal
than, Mass Sterling Silver" and are accom-.
panied by guarantee certificates, signed X.
f.. Robbins, Treasurer. The name wal
than" Is plainly engraved upon all move.
ments, irrespective of other distinguishing
marks.
This caution is rendered necessary by rea.
son of the fact that our cases are frequently
separated from our movements and put upon
worthless movements OF other makers aud
wee versa, thus affecting injuriously the
performance of the watches and vitiating
our guarantee, which Is intended to cover
only our complete watches wholly made by
us. 1t is necessary also because il is SO no.
torous as to be public scandal, that there
Is great fraud in the metal quality OF both
gold and silver cases AS now generally sold.
We have demonstrated by frequent assays
that many gold and silver cases offered in
the market are debased from 10 to 20 per
cent. from the quality they assume TO be.
This is fraud upon the purchaser, and ac-
counts for the low price at which such cased
watches have been sold.
Eighteen carat" gold, such as the Waltham
cases are made OF, is as nearly pure gold as
can be made and be durable. 1t contains
100000 of pure gold and $50 1000 of alloy.
Sterling Silver English government stand
ard) contains 925 1000 of pure silver and 10
1000 of alloy. The Waltham Watches will
always be found up TO the standard repre-
sented.

Ben Mason, a well known hotel man of this
city in the olden time, went 10 the poor house
this week. He kept the Sherman, the Pal.
mer, now the Occidental, the Mason, now the
Grand, and other hotels, winding mp with 3.
Mason's Hotel ON South Illinois street.
He is the father of Tyler Mason, the
reformed drunkard, who is making quite
a reputation as a temperance lecturer.
Mr.. Mason was one of the best known hotel
men in Indiana, but now he is old. Misfor
He spent 1 the last cent he '' possessed
in regaiEing his health, but with
no possible means of making n living, the
poor old man the other day asked permission
to be semitic the poor house as the last avenue
open to him-hecouId not go upon the streets

which mnst be his future home, he briefly
he has lived on the fat of the land and denied
himself nothing. Years ago he left New York,
went toFort Wayne where he accumulated
from there moved TO Lafayette, going from
there 20 Museatine, Iowa, and came here
about the beginning OF the war. He has made
money, much more than many successful
business men can ever hope to make, but he
has seen thousands of dollars melt away in in
judicious speculations. In looking back over
his life he says he sees nothing over which to
shed tear as this is life OF ups and downs,
and he has been reduced from afftuence to
poverty. When he came to this city ne took
"A position in the sherman House, where he
remained but short time, when he formed
a partnership with Gridley and Senior

made great deal of money. He afterwards
sold out his interest to his partners, anu with
the bonus he obtained, 81 600 got control of the
Sherman House. When he retired
from the sherman he offered 10
buy the Spencer House, offering ST5,0U
each. Being unable TO get this house, he
opened two no els, one IN Martinsville and
one in Greensburg. In 1870 he opened the
Mason House, from which the Grand Ho Ell
has grown. In one year he sold out to Thomas
Baker for So and this money has been lost
in speculate He is sc years of age, and as he
has paid as high as 81 500 taxes, he is entitled
TO a warm place in the poor house, as he
expresses It, The step he has taken was well
considered before the move was made. This
