line of busness-llouse and sign painting, white

twenty-five per cent. less than the prices
that have been usually paid here, and guar
antcc satisfaction Estimates furnished without
charge. He Will furnish all materials II de
sired thereby enabling parties to know at til,
outset the full cast of the work. He has facil
titles for obtaining painting materials mncl
cheaper than persons generally, which makes
his work so much the cheaper. A specimen OF
his painting can be seen ut the Methodist churcl.

cost nothing. The cheapness and quality of his
painting are al inducement to have painting

How Watches are Made.

It will be apparent to any one. who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of the.precieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, aud supply the necessary
soidity and strength. The surplus GOLD is
actually needless, SO far as UTILITY aud
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
ooe-half of the usual cost OF solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature.
as tollows:-A plate of composition metal,
specially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip OF heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs, centres. bezels.
&C., are cut aDd shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving and enameliing; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold. These cases
are for sale by all jewelers., and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 20 YEARS. If your jew
eler does not keep them, send to HAGsToZ
& THORPE, Ledger Building, PhiIadel-
phia, for illustrated catalogue.

The Revieso, national organ of real ei =
tate dealers, published at Washington
City, asked its correspondents all over the
country about hard times, their cause and
cure. Amongst the answers we find the
following from Ira J. Alder. of Iowa city:
There is an over plus in the production
OF everything. The market is glutted.
The consumption aud demand for the pro-
ducts of this country is insufficient to war
rant better times financially at present.
Real estate, 10 my judgment, is not yet at
its minimum to meet and correspond with
a hard money basis, and the prices of arti-
Giles bought and sold. We will have to
forget the old war prices, abide by the
fluctuations of the country, and conform
ourselves to it's fortunes.

Robeso.. under the Halter.

Last winter the house committee of
naval affairs made thorough investigation
OF hoDeson's conduct as secretary of the
navy. But, owing to the lateness of the
session, 1t was not presented, especially as
the republican members refused to ioin in
condemning such prominent member of
their party and representative of their
methods. The report will now be Submit
ed to the house, leaving the republicans to
DO their own whltewashing in their own
way The simple facts are that, while
$500, 100000 have been spent on the Amer
lean navy, Sale, 785.272 have been spent
Oh it since 1854, and 1882, 496. 032 were
squandered upon it under Grants admin
lstration-Robeson handling most of the
money TO say nothing of millions spent
for accumulated material. And vet, in
spite OF all this enormous expenditure, the
United States has scarcely anything but
lot OF unssaworthy and rotten ships to
show. Our navy is one of the weakest and
most worthless in the world, The report
shows that private contracts were given
out against the law which requires that
they shall be given to the lowest bidder:
that ships have been sold and broken I'D
without authority. and Of which no report
was given at the time; that the affairs of
the department were conducted in fragrant
disregard of the laws, and ia a wasteful
way which made the plundering of the
government an easy matter. A great deal
of suspicious work has been carried on IN
der the general name of repairs" The
outside fact stares the country in the face,
and cannot be questioned; VIC, that dur
ing eight years of peace nearly one hmm
dred and eighty-two aud a half millions
were squandered on the navy and there is
to-day scarcely anything to show for the
money. The fact tells its own story
Where has the money gone? Ex-Secre-
tary Robson may possibly answer this
question. The committee insist that he
shall be condemned and that several of
OF his assistants should be punished. Per
haps their trial, under section of the
revised statutes, will bring out some in
