Patents Have Expired.

The idea of making a gold case out of
anything but gold had never been enter
tanned by manufacturers. and the patent Sc
cured for their making protected Boss so
that his goods were eagerly purchased. In
deed. so confident was he of the superior
quality of his cases that he shrewdly guar
anteed them 10 wear for twenty years or
would refund the purchase price if they did
not Boss amdssed considerable wealth
Though his patent. and then sold it to a
hrm, who were fortunate in interesting the
late c. w. ChildS in it. who. with his i'm
mense wealth and honesty of character
doomed the Industry to colossal proportions
S1me years ago the patents expired and
were eagerly appropriated by watch case
manufactures who are barely supplying
the demand for export. The filed case to-
day is a vast Improvement on that of ten
years ago. and the engraver can display his
art upon it as successfully as he can beau
tify the solid gold case. Europe has taken
mare kindly 10 them than America.

Boss Experiments.

At first Boss made two plates of gold,
which were laid on each side of a central
piece of metal. and after being rolled out
to the desired thickness by heavy mills
were placed under the machine and struck
off by die. This required the finest cal
cuIation and leveling process so that the
surfaces would cling to each other without
the aid of solder. and consumed more
time than could be given with profit to the
making of the cases. Another method was
tried by which the three surfaces were
made smooth that they became adhesive.
and the suction thus established allowed
one plate to bear the others weight with
out artificial aid. Patents were granted on
the latter invention. and the first cases
made were known as the James Boss filled
watch cases. which for several years had a
monopoly of the business

Heavy Export Trade-Great Factor in
Commercial Life-History Of
the Invention.


From the New York Tribune.
The goTd-filled watch case industry Is a
powerful factor in American commercial
life. "AIl that giitters is not gold may be
honestly applied to thousands of timekeepers
in pockets and in hook" though their
desirability by the keeper of the latter is
measured by the anxiety of the pledger
for the almighty In the former. how
ever, they may be said to do double duty
first. of cheapness, and. second, of light
weight of woe IL they he lost. The seller
of the gold-filled watch may tell you that
II cannot be distinguished from the watch
of sterling stuff. but he is likely also to tell
you that it is as good as one made of stern
er stuff if you don't examine both too close
" Whatever he may say there is always
doubt in your mind as to the proper time
to flash the spurious for the real. and
n fear that you may court the expression
that comparisons are odious-"
Factories Near New York
The manufacture of these cases engages
the services of over five thousand skilled
artisans in factories adjacent to New York,
with an output yearly of four or five mil
lions. The history of their invention is
interesting Over forty years ago a watch
case maker named Peters was annoyed to
find the low carat gold in his cheap cases
tarnish quickly with wear. lie could not
furnish better quality for the selling price,
however. though experiments costing many
thousand dollars were made by him to
obtain some composition of base metal to
use an alloy that would not give ev-
idenCe of tarniSh. His Investigations were
carried on secretly at first, but with so
much persistence and so little result that
nervous prOstration enStied- One day, find
ing himself no longer able to proceed with
his experiments, he told one of his employees
named Boss. who was continually exper-
imcnting with acids and metals, how anX-
ious he has to procure a better watch case,
one with good quality gold wearing sur
face. with base center and a low carat in
side Boss started his experiments, and
month later finished model of a machine

PETITION AGAINST
 JUDGE LOVEJOY
Charged With OverchargeS in
 Approving Bonds
OLD PETITION WITHDRAWN
Increased Attendance Yesterday on Session of Alabama League of Municipalities and Some h.
 teresting Papers Read.

Montgomery, May 9.-(Special.)-ln the Supreme Court today the impeachment napers filed several weeks ago against Probate Judge Lovejoy of Etowah were withdrawn, but a new petition was im- mediately filed. The first petition was withdrawn for the reason that three of the five persons whose names were sign ed to it made affidavit that they had not signed and asked for the withdrawal
 The new petition is almost identical with the old one except that several new specifications are added in regard to over charges for approving official bonds. The names of those who had been overcharged a half dollar for marriage licenses are set out in full.
 The names signed to the new petition are: Tom Johnson and J. w. Lawrence, who were on the old paper and Felix H. King J. c. Williams and J. c. Pratter. The main man in the prosecution is Tom L. Johnson, who Is the largest tax payer in the county and he was present today In person. The story has been published that the prosecution is political, but all the signers are Democrats and those who are interested on that side very positive ly deny this charge.
 Some Personal Feeling.
 It seems that some personal feeling and antagonisms do, however. figure in the starting of the proceedings. Judge Love joy talks very freely about the case and says he has no uneasiness as to the final outcome, as he is not conscious of having violated any law or wronged anybody. Colonel w. R. Dortch was hefe repre- senting Judge Lovejoy. If the court de- cides to entertain the new petition 1t will next week announce the day on which Judge Lovejoy will be required to appear and show cause why he should not be impeaohed.

The session today proved a very interesting one, several valuable papers being read.

Drennen, Mayor of Birmingham; High License," by Mayor c. E. Stevens; "Dispensary," by Mayor | Cochran O. Tuscaloosa and Major Acree l of Dothan.
