SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History Of This Now Very Rare and
Valuable Ware.

Sheffield plate differs from all other
plated ware in that the plating was
done OH the sheet metal before the
article was shaped. Before and since
then plating of various sorts has been
applied only to the finished piece. rs in
our electroplating process. Moreover.
the plating was done on copper. while
modern base metal is usually COM
posed of an amalgam of copper, nickel
and zinc.
Furthermore, 1t is possible for the
collector to secure examples of early
Georgian and SO called Queen Anne
work in Sheffield plate, while the
rarity and high money value of silver
ware Of that period make its acquisi-
ton extremely difficult. Sheffield plate
historically and artistically is as worthy
Of place beside old china and old
mahogany as is old silverware
In 1142 one Thomas Bolsover of
Sheffield, England. described in the
histories as an Ingenious mechanic"
accidentally fused some silver and cop
per while repairing knife. He began
experimenting. seeking for method Of
plating copper with silver for the man
ufacture OF small articles. In 1T43. to-
gether with Joseph Wilson. he set up
factory for the manufacture of buc-
kles. snu1boxes and knife handles.
Joseph Hancock soon got hold of the
secret and. perfecting 1t. demonstrated
that 1t was possible to initiate the
finest and most richly embossed. silver
ware. Settling in Sheffield, he started
the manufacture OF all sorts OF domes-
tic pieces. Beginning modestly with
horsepower. he later added water pow
er for the rolling process. Other man.
ufacturers followed his example. and
Sheffield plate soon began to replace
pewter on the tables of the English
middle classes. Altogether we know
OF twenty-three important mnnufactur-
ers of this ware.
The industry hourished until the
middle Of the nineteenth century, and
SO few pieces of copper rolled plate
were made after that time that they
need not concern the collector. Electro
plating was discovered or Invented by
medical student of Rotterdam. near
Sheffield. and the new process was
patented on March %, 1870 BY 1850
the new ware was on the market ev-
erywhere. and the Industry had been
revolutionized.-Coun Life In Amer

one Dixy. n kind hearted slave owner
on Manhattan Island In the latter part
of the eighteenth century. His treat

regard his plantation c'Dixy's') as lit

when any Of the slaves were taken
away from their old home they Were
always pining for "Dixy's" and singing

; DIANA MAN IN GRENADA.

Some weeks ago DR.. j. p. Broad
street OF this city received letter of
inquiry about the negroes from DR.. r.
S. MalOney, brother dentist of Al
biOn, Indiana. DR.. MalOney stated
that he had never been in the South,
but that he had great desire to visit
this section and to see the negro and
his environment. DR.. BroadStreet OF
course answered the letter and invited
DIR. MalOney to visit the South and to
come to Grenada.
1t was no great surprise to DIR.
BrOa3Street last week when DR.. Malo-
ney dropped into Grenada. DR..
BroadStreet constituted himself i'm a
measure DR.. MalOney's host while he
was here. He took him to some OF
the plantations adjacent to town
where the negro could be seen that
represents the largest class of their
race. DIR. Maloney seemed to be
much surprised at a great many things
he saw and especially did he feel like
congratulating the negro at his con-
tentment and the conditions which
surround him, matter, he stated,
that few Northern people had any just
conception Of. There is but one ne
gro in the county in which DR.. MalUn-
ey resides. The DR.. expressed himself
as much pleased with our people. He
said whatever of race problem there
was should be left to the South alone
to solve. He was impressed with the
idea that there was most thorough
unde rStandiug between the negroes
here aud the white people, that the
South occupied position to handle
the question with the greatest degree
of intelligence. DR.. Mal0ney is
most pleasant, affable gentleman
and Grenada will long entertain ma
ny pleasant reflections on his visit
here. He went from here to New
Orleans.
