CHAMP CLARK
HAS AMBITION
Wants to be President.
Fears Wilson Sentiment.

~" W. ~
Washington, Jan. 26:-Represen-
tative Hughes very sensibly, has no
false pride over the fact that two of
his admirers cast ballots for him for
the United States senate. Mr.. Hugh
es issued the following statement;
II regard every Democrat as in duty
bound to vote for the man who re-
ceiyed the majority OF votes in the
prfmaryNJames e. MARITIME. / ap-
preciate the honor done me, but re-
gard myself, as every other right
thinking Democrat does, as fore
closed from that honor" However,
as a member of the important COM
mittee on Ways and Means Mr..
Hughes will get plenty OF honor be-
fore the termination of the sixty
second congress-.
Champ Clark, speaker-elect OF the
House Of Representatives, will visit
Trenton on Friday evening OF this
week. Representative Wood will ac-
company him. Mr.. Clark will de-
liver the address to the graduating
class of the Rider-Stewart Business
College at Trenton. There is a
notion in political circles that he is
glad of the opportunity to visitvNew
Jersey and speak among the friends
of Governor Wilson. Mr.. Clark
wants the nomination for President
on the Democratic ticket in 1912,
without a doubt, and he also wants
to ~forestall any opposition. Because
of the successful outcome OF his
fight against former Senator Smith
1t Is conceded that Governor Wilson
has strengthened his position ma
terially, and 1t will make him all the
more formidable as a Presidential
possibility two years hence.

SHEFFIELD PLATE.
Collectors Place It Side by side With
Sterling Silver.

Collectors Place 1t Side by Side With
Sterling Silver.
Late In the eighteenth century there
was developed In Sheffield. England,
a new method Of .using a thin piece
OF silver upon copper or brass which
| was christened with the name Of the
city. Attaching silver to baser metal
by means of solder had been known
from remote times. The gay caparisons
sf horse and rider in the tournaments
made a demand for work of this sort,
and Otley, a little town to the north
OF Sheffield, was long a center of its
trade, says Handicraft. 1t Is related
that as the call OF such ~trappings went
out Its craftsman drifted toward Shelf
field, and 1t is not unlikely that through
their knowledge and skill the copper
plating was perfected.
1t was at once recognized and copied
by the French. who had hitherto
known only the joining by a Of
solder, and was used for fifty years or
more, when the modern process of
electroplating superseded it For a
time after the discovery of the latter
methods, following a common law, the
old plate was discredited and many a
fine piece suffered In careless hands.
Today collectors place a choice piece
OF Shefield plate side by side with
sterling silver.
The standard Of silver IN England,
which is also our own, has remained
practically unchanged for 500 years.
Two hundred years ago 1t was raised
for about twenty-five years, but the
test of wea proved 1t too soft to h6
durable. This silver has the figure of
Britannia stamped upon 1t and Is
known to the trade as Queen Anne
silver. Hts standard is still lawful, but
seldom called for. With the date and
sterling mark OF all English silver are
also the mark of the Office In which
1t is assayed and the registered mark
of the maker or the shop from which
1t Is sold. There are now seven Offices
where silver may be assayed, some OF
TIE older ones, iiko IorK ana Exeter,
