MASCULINE JEWELRY.
The Signet Ring the Only Bauble of a
WelI-Dressed Man.

d
Well-Dressed Man.
The fashion of wearing jewelry
among men is growing to higher points
than it reached even in 1884. 1t was
then, you know, the practice reached
high-water mark. 1t attracted a good
deal of attention at the time, as prior
to that the jewelry of men had been
notable mainly by reason of its alb
sence. The dudes, who suppressed
watch-chains. scarf-pins and the like.
allowed themselves full liberty in the
matter of fnger-rings, and from this
the general run of clubmen took their
cues. Many fashionable man wore
five or six rings on his fingers. The
great design then was the snake-ring,
and after that what was known as the
glove-ring. The latter consisted Of
heavy band of gold, usually square in
design, in which were set a diamond
with ruby or sapphire on either side
of it. The stones were set well down
in the gold and were perfectly flush
with the top, so that man could pull
glove on over the ring without diff
Guilty.
Perhaps the greatest success which
was reached then was when the brace
let appeared as a masculine adornment.
The natural result of all this fnery
was that the smaller clerks and cheap
Johns of the town followed the suit of
their leaders, and the market was
flooded with tawdry jewelry. After
time a good healthy reaction set in
and men went back to the ring which
they always return to. "
"What is that?"
at is the old signet ring. / am
more or less familiar with the history
of Jewels, and it has struck me often
that this ring, which monarchs of two
hundred years ago wore on the first
finger of their right hands usually, is
the only one which has staple place
in the affections of mankind. Not only
do men return to it after they have
been led astray by gaudy diamonds,
and the like, but it is very often the
case that the best dressed of those who
are the most exquisite about their jew
elry give up all sorts of precious stones
when they become forty-fve or fifty
years of age and settle down to the
plain signet ring on the third finger OF
their left hand. -Je welers' Gazette.

q FORTUNE IN OIL
How a Poor Irish Day-Laborer Became
MuItf-MiiIionafre.

Multi-3iiiliOnafre-
Persons who imagine the members
of the Standard Oil Company are the
only men WIG acquire more than ordi-
nary riches in the oil business are not
acquainted with the facts. The oil
country is full of men who have be-
come wealthy in the oil business, and
never had any connection whatever
with the big Standard. John Nc
Keown, of Washington, Pa, is reputed
to be the wealthiest oil producer, and
his figure is placed at $4,000, 900, al
though it is likely to be much more
than this. Mr. McKeown is native
of Ireland, and began his career in this
country in the oil regions, coming
directly from Castle Garden to the
Pennsylvania oil regions during the
early excitement on Oil creek, about
1864. He was entirely without
means, and began as a day la
borer. working for 81 day,
handling pick and shovel for man
who had contracts for grading oil-well
derricks and tank seats. He soon be-
came a contractor himself, and from
that got a small interest in a well
which proved to be good investment.
Mr.. McKeown was not one of those
whose riches were suddenly acquired.
They came to him slowly, and only
through hard work and careful invest
ments. From Oil creek he went to
Bradford, in the early days of that de-
velopment, and there he was wonder
fully successful. His operations there
were mostly on the rich Bingham
lands, where every well was success.
He left Bradford very rich man, and
went to Butler County, buying small
farm not far from Martinsburg. AL
though a small tract, this was one of
the most prolific in the great Butter
field, and Mr.. McKeown realized an
other fortune here. During this time
he was making careful investments,
mostly in real estate in Pennsylvania
and the West, and these invest
ments, so far as is known, have
all realized handsomely. Indeed.
none of McKeown's friends can point
to any considerable investment of his
that has not been a good one. He is
man upon whom fortune always smiles.
His wonderful success in the Washing
ton and Taylorstown oil-felds is fa-
miliar to newspaper readers. In the
Washington district he probably de-
veloped the richest spot ever tapped in
the Pennsylvania region. 1t is said
that three farms here of which he was
the chief beneficiary produced So, 000,-
900 worth of oil alone. Mr.. McKeown
owns large amount of valuable city
property in Baltimore and Philadel-
phia, as we'll as cattle ranches in the
West. He has invested largely in the
new TurEeyfoot district, lately opened
up by the Bridgewater Gas Company,
and if the region comes up to the ex-
pectations of the trade he will realize
another fortune there.-Titusville
