GOLD AND SILVER PLATING.
Process That Is Described as Simple By
Professional.

The following is very simple method
for gold and silver plating: Take an
ounce of nitrate Of silver, which is
made as follows: One ounce of fine sill
yer, one ounce nitric acid, one-han
ounce water. Put the silver into Flor
ence flask, then pour in the acid and
water. Place the flask on the sand bath
for a few moments. taking care not to
apply too much heat, and as soon as
chemical action becomes violent remove
the flask to cooler place and allow the
action to go on until it nearly slacks,
when, if there is any silver still remain
ing, the flask may be placed on the bath
again until the silver disappears. If the
acid employed is weak, it may be neces-
sary to add a little more The red fumes
formed when chemical action is going
on disappear when the acid has done its
work.
The nitrate Of silver formed during
the above operation should be poured
into a porcelain capsule and heated un-
til pellicle appears on the surface,
when it may be set aside to crystallize.
Lit ulJIyStdlIlLcu lIQuOI suOulu Do
poured from tic crystals into another
vessel and heat applied until it has
evaporated sufficiently to crystalline.
Then you have nitrate Of silver. Take
an ounce Of nitrate Of silver, dissolve in
d quart of distilled rainwater. When
thoroughly dissolved, throw il 9 few
crystals of hyposulphite Of soda, which
will at first form brown precipitate,
but which becomes redissolved if enough
hyposulphite has been added. There
must be present slight excess of this
salt. The solution is now complete.
Take a sponge, dip it III the solution
and rub it over the work to be plated.
A solution of gold may be made in
the same way and applied as described.
A concentrated solution of either gold
or silver may be used for work that has
been worn off by applying it with
camel's hair brush and touching it with
a strip of zinc. The writer has used this
method with the most satisfactory suc-
cess. The gold or silver used in making
must be perfectly fine. Jewellers Cir

THE RIDLEY PARK IECENDIARISM.
ORIGIN OF THE MANY MYSTERI-
GUS FIRES BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN SOLVED

Chester, Oct 25.-The origin Of the
many mysterious fires which have oc-
Cured in Ridley Park during the past
year is believed to have been solved in
thearrest of ex-POlice Officer James Rice
early yesterday morning. About six
months ago Rice was discharged from
the borough force for alleged drunken
ness. and since that time he has been
closely watched. with a view of fasten-
ing the incendiary fires upon him. Sus-
picion had been directed to him, owing
to the frequency of the fires and the
fact that they broke out as a. rule,
either late Saturday night or early Sun
day morning, and especially from The
fact that Rice generally discovered
them and gave the alarm. AT first his
watchfulness was commended, but
when he was discharged he is alleged
to have said that he would be re-
venged, and since then a Pinkerton de-
tective, aided by the borough police
man, Samuel TOrrens, has had him un-
der surveillance.
Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday
morning Torrens and the detective aw
Rice go to the house OF Mrs. Henderson,
which is in a secluded neghborhocd
near the lake, and break open the hack
door. The house was not inhabited
and as a matter OF fact the fires have
broken out in vacant houses, stables OF
other uninhabited buildings. Rice was
in the Henderson house some minutes
and when he emerged Torrens seized
him. The detective entered the building
and found lighted candle standing in
the midst of rags and paper saturated
with coal oil, and also discovered tina
coal oil had been spread on the walls
| insuring a rapid fire when the candle
had burned down TO the inhammabk
material on the floor When he haC
been fairly trapped Rice is said to have
asked permission to go back into tht
house and put out the candle, but thii
was denied. and he was hurried to th'

COMPLIMENT TO JUDGE WICKES.
SITTING AT HIS LAST TERM AFTER
A TENURE OF THIRTY YEARS.

AT HIS LAST TERN AFTER
A TENURE OF THIRTY YEARS.
Chestertown. Md. Oct. 25.-The grand
Jury OF Kent county completed its la
bors and was discharged yesterday af-
ternoon. In its report the following
reference was made to the retirement Of
Judge Joseph A. Wickes, who is now
sitting, after thirty years tenure Of
office. at the last term in Kent county
before his successor is elected.
The grand jury said: I'VE cannot
close this report without giving express
sion to our deep regret at the approach
ing retirement from the bench of his
honor, Judge Joseph A. Wickos. Many
of the members of this jury have for
years served in the court both as grand
Jurors and petit jurors, and always with
growing respect. and admiration
for the administration Of the
law under its direction. For almost
thirty years the scales Of justice have
been held with firm and impartial hand
by the three eminent men who, thirty
years ago, were called to this bench and
who have given to this judicial circuit
and to the state imperishable honor by
the long record which they have left OF
sound and deep learning in the law, un-
spotted personal and official integrity
and prompt and fearless discharge OF
duty. These high qualities have been
conspicuously exhibited in the judicial
career Of Judge Wickes, and upon the
eve of retirement we feel as jurors that
it is due to those who come after us
that we should place upon record this
tribute to his long and honorable ca
reer"

4 SENSATIONAL MANDATE.
ARCHBISHOP CLEARY's MANDATE
AGAINST CATHOLICS ENTERING
PROTESTANT CHURCHES-FA-
n.lIIrn l,nNrNnI L V 1,AI1lc

THEIR CONNOLLY TALKS.
A dispatch from Kingston, Ont., says
Archbishop Cloary caused a sensation
here yesterday by his prcmulgation OF
a mandate from the pulpit of st. Mary's
Cathedral in which he said:
I'VE hereby declare with all the au-
thOI'ity Of the church vested in us as
archbishop of Kingston and your chief
pastor that any Catholic In our metro
politan city or diocese who shall here
after presume to enter any non-Catholic
edihce 10 assist at what Is termed a
marriage ceremony or a service for the
dead, even though he should not take
an active part I'm the performance rem
dtrs himself euilty Of mortal sin by dis
hOnoring the religion OF his baptism
defying the laws Cf the Holy Church
and giving public scandal before so
ciety. and we furthermore reserve t1
oursef alone the power to absolye from
this heinous sin"
The only apparent reason for this
mandate was A recent marriage in q
congregational church. Catholics wer,
present as witnesses at this ceremony.
When Archbishop Corrigan's secre
taIy was seen about the mandate he ex
i pressed surprise at the mandate o
Bishop Cleary. for he said II was rathe
a strict exercise OF power even for .
country like Canada. where the line.
are drawn more sharply betwe n Ca.ho
lies and Protestants than they are n
| the United States. I'VE consider
highly reprehensible." he said, 'for I
Catholics to witness a marriage cere
mony in a nOn-Catholic church or else
where, CT to take pslt in n service 70
the dead in a Protestant church. Sucl
an act would call forth the eeveres
censure Of tho church"
An Evening Journal man this morn
! ing called at the residence Of Bishol
| Monaghan, in reference 10 the matter
| but was informed that the bishop WA
down the state on mission work. Fathe
Connolly, the assistant at the cathedral
said that the mandate did not apply q
