How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is n soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-itting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case ,r - v,,x
which saves the WASTE of need : D
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent. ]


WASHINGTON. D. c., June 90, 1888.
The weather is hot as blazes here now.
yet that does not prevent people from
discussing the result of the Star-route
trial. 1t is still the leading topic in Wash
ington. But strange as it may seem, the
friends of the defendants who rejoice with
then in their escape are about as numer-
GUS as the friends of public honesty, who
hoped to see them punished. There is
hardly a man of intelligence in the COM
munity who does not honestly believe in
his heart that these men robbed the gov
ernment of large sums of money, but
nevertheless, many sympathize with Them
and want to see them get away with the
swag. These, of course, represent pretty
lax notions of official integrity, but they
comprise about half, or nearly half, of the
ofice-holding and office seeking classes,
and would perhaps do the same thing
if they had the chance and the nerve. Ii
is interesting to note the different theories
OF the failure of the prosecution, but the
prevailing one is that the jury was not
equal to the case and the trial was toe
long drawn out. The jury was not nearl,
up to the average citizen in intelligence o
character. The ablest man on it-th
foreman-and apparently the controlling
spirit, was disciple of Bob IngersoN
and probably did much to shape the yer
dict. The length of the trial and tn
mass of evidence and volume of "gab
injected into it was alone sufficient 1,
defeat the ends of justice in such trial
And why was the trial so prolonged7 o
course the defense would labor to tina
end, but why should the prosecution
Does any unprecedented man, lawyer O
layman, think this trial would not hay

eminent lawyers had been by the job in
stead of by the day.
What this celebrated trial has cost wi

But take the estima ate of high legal
officer and give his figures. He says Mr..
Kef has received about $4,000. and that
Mr.. sMe:rick and Mr.. Bliss each received
about twice as much. I do not voueh
for the statement. but the man have
alluded to ought to know what he talks
about. Docs anybody suppose that Mr..
Evarts or any of dozen eminent lawyers
that could be- named would not have tried
the case for 5000 or $4,000 each?
TheH beyond all this, the prosecution is
charged with having at the very outset
bitten off more than they could chew
Il was undertaken 10 prove a eonspircy,
the most diff1calt of all things to legally
establish, when to have tried Brady and.
Dorsey separately, for nalfeasence in
Office and fraud, might have Leen simpler
and easier. Such scenes of debonnchery
as were witnessed in the bar rooms of
the city for nearly twenty-four hours
after the verdict will not occur again in
Washington for many 6aT The wealthy
defendants set up free liquor to all
corners, and in the evening had grand
Publication and drunk at Brady's house.
II is true as stated that the ring has
nearly two millions left out of the swag
after paying all expenses Of the trial.
Somebody has stated that Dorsey is poor,
but this is certainly a mistake. He has
half million locked up in big rancho
in New Mexico, and may not be so flush
of ready money as Brady, but both are
very rich. Every now and then new
story is started about Brady's successful
stock speculations, but the general opin-
ionis that Star-ronte stock, and assessing
the Contractors, is about the richest spec
ulation he ever went into. Dorsey is
making threats ofApolitical revenges, and
m@tions Senator Logan as one ambitious
man he means to crush. The prevailing
opinion here is that he would do better
to keep still. His own character win re-
quire several thick coats of whitewash
before he can injure John A. Logan, who,
whatever his faults, has not in all his
years of public service been accused of
stealing anything.

Arthur may not be the greatest statesman
in the world, but he is as perfect gen
tleman as was ever in the White house.
As host he is charming-cordial without
being elusive, and agreeable to the last
degree without losing his dignity. His
house, its shade, its flowers, its sunshine,
all in their APPROPRIATE places, are very
attractive. He spends much time there.
Some days when there is little to do he
does not go to the White house at all
He drives out with his little daughter, OF
takes canter on horseback, or spends
his time reading in his study, with coat
off and suspenders stripped down. He is
very fond of reading, and few men in
public life are better informed in the
matter of personal history. Dom

want TO .Fire- the cannon.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Congressman
Cannon, of Illinois, has evidently made him
self felt in legislation. As the result of his
Efforts as member of the appropriation
committee some useless offices were abol-
ished, and number of men who held
sinecure places will be deprived Of their
positions after the next fiscal year. An
evening paper claims to know that, on ac-
count of Mr. Cannon's efforts as an econ
omist, he is to be assailed by lot of depart
pent clerks The local paper says: efforts
are being made to collect large sum of
money to defeat Cannon's nomination at next
election A sum 5000 is in hand, and
prominent movers in this affair can be relied
on to accomplish the object. Committees are
formed to correspond with certain organiza-
tons in Cannon's district, and no stone will
be left unturned that energy, money. and de-
termination can move to effect his defeat.

The president of the United States is
graciously disposed to afford the son of
General Logan, that opportunity which the
general himself, though accounted good
soldier lacked. He has appointed the
youth a cadet at the military academy
The general manifests an appreciation of
the military service of the country, to
which he has already extraordinarily de-
voted son-in-law in the pay department,
with incidental opportunities for the &C,
quirement of ranches with or without re-
gard to the rights of the Zunis. The mar.
tial spirit of the Logans is freely at the
call of the country
