sheffield Plate Explained
in Court. est

old Sheffield plate" Is not manufac-
tured In England at the present at1ne;
at least not the, real old article In, the
real Old way. The method formerly used
was to braze or weld a thin sheet OF
silver on either side Of thicker sheet
Of copper. and then 10 roll this combined
metal to a sheet Of the thickness re-
quired. which would result n.a sheet of
copper coated on both sides with an
actual surface OF silver. 1851
The process OF electroplsting Is much
cheaper and quicker and has superseded
the old method to such an extent that
articles manufactured by the old process
would now cost quite as much as the
same articles in sterling silver. In some
parts OF England. the United States con-
sui at Sheffield says In Consular and
Trade Reports. INSCRIPTIONS msnufac-
turers do not hesitate to produce copies OF
cess and then palm them off on unsus-
pecting purchasers as genuine.
A Sheffield company successfully prose-
cuted two leading dealers In the United
kingdom for selling this imitation ware
as odd Sheffield plate" and IT has now
been, decided by the courts that the term
''oid Sheffield plate" to an article made
from metal consisting Of silver fused upon
copper and not copper electroplated.
and that any dealer applying the term
old Sheffield plate TO a nartfie made
in any other way than by the fusing pro-
cesc is guilty of fraudulent description
and may be proceeded against.
There Is any quantity Of electroplate
made which would be entitled TO the
name OF Sheffield plate" The decisions
of the courts referred to have particular
reference to the term "oid Sheffield

scrfption under which to buy plate II one

HEROIC TALES OF BANDSMEN
Glorious Record on Raging Sea and
Battlefield.
HIGH STANDARD OF vALoR

fantry at santisgo-Rash to
the Front Armed with
krags.

Great and powerful is the influence
which the musician can WELD over a
crowd In time of emergency. The match
less manner in which the orchestra OF
the Inflated Titanic inspired the hundreds
on the deck of the vessel to meet the
end which was inevitable gave the aver.
age man an idea OF the high sense Of
responsibility to WHICH a musician may
attain. The heroism OF Bandmaster Hart
ley, Of Jock Hume. OF Fred Clark and
the other five men who went down with
the ship has been the subject OF euiogy
wherever men came together and talked
of the catastrophe.
To many the bravery Of the band
seemed unique. but in army and
navy circles.and among musicians them
selves the affair resulted in the recalling
OF other instances of heroism. which
make II clear that 1t is rather the ex-
ception for trained artists to fail to rise
to an emergency than not to do full
justice to their opportunity.
The idea that q band IS purely orna-
mental Organization is surprisingly preva-
'ent' saio MAJOR r. h, y. Ebstein, a
veteran with long years Of service In
the United States army behind him, who
is now collector OF taxes for the city of
New York. Yet the records Of both
branches Of the service abound In in
stances In which musicians have dis
tinsuished themselves on the field of hat
tie. The standard of valor among men In
the bands belonging to the United States
army and navy is fully as high as that
OF the regular fighting men. In fact, my
observation has been that the artistic
temperament Of the trained musician,
combined with the discipline to which he
must subject himself. combines TO equip
him to rise to an opportunity better than
the average regular"

When the Intervention In Cuba was

The Major on the Spot.

Major Ehstein Is In a better position to
speak on the subject than anyone else
in New York City. A veteran OF many
Indian conflicts and a man who rendered
great service to his country in the Span
ish-American war. he has always been
particularly interested In the men In the
bands Of the army. He has had oppor-
tunity to witness their conduct IN every
kind OF emergency. and the result OF his
experience forms interesting testimony Of
the existence among all classes Of players
of the same spirit which animated the
heroic eight who went down in the white
Star vessel.
Far from desiring to escape In time OF
danger, the army musician is apt to
resort 10 extraordinary measures to get
on the field Of battle" said Major Eb-
stein. 'one Of the most remarkable in
stances Of this occurred in the Spanish
American war. when the members Of the
Twenty-first Infantry band begged in
vain to be taken 10 the front OF the
fighting, and when the chance was off,
dally denied them. resorted to strategy
to get Into the fray,
Major Ebstein recounted a story OF the
heroIsm Of the thirty-two men who. at
the time Of the outbreak OF hostilities
with Spain. constituted the most famous
band, Of musicians in the United States
service. The Twenty-first Infantry band
was the favorite musical organization OF
president Mckinley. He conceived the
idea OF having q collection OF army mu-
slcians who should be famous throughout
the country, and. gathering the best men
in tho service together, he secured E. @.
Clarke, man noted as player and
leader. TO leave famous private organ'-
Eation to enter the United States army.
Clarke took hold Of the musicians and
raised their technique to the very hisn-

Terrible Tragedy ON Clinton Streets.
Slayer Lodged in Jail.

Clinton, Oct 2S.-The good name OF
Clinton was again terribly blighted
today by a horrible killing that took
place in the heart of town, between the
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
freight depot and J. W. Copeland's
store, about 23O o'clock, when Warren
Franklin Lawson, of Lanford Station,
was shot in the back of the head three
times by his son, Robt. B. Lawson,
who lives five miles north of here. The
father and son had been quarrelling
for about two years, it is said, during
which time the sons life was often
threatened by his father Early this
morning Robert left his nome to bring
bale of cotton to Clinton, expecting
to apply it ITO his account. He was
followed by his father and younger
brother, Victor.
The son had just turned the cotton
over to the citizen whom he wished to
have it when, it seems, his father came
and demanded it as rent. The citizen,
seeing they were about to have soma
words, stepped into his Office. Both
the father and the son, with the bale
of cotton, started towards the ware
house, when the father, according to
the sons statement, commanded him
to get out of the wagon or he would
kill him. Instantly the son drew his
revolver and fired rapidly five times,
claiming that this was done in self
defiance. 1t is said the father was
driving and the first shots were fired
into the back of his head. The fifth
shot was fred, after he fell, into his
side
Without any words young Lawson,
who is about % years Of age and mar
ried last spring, surrendered and turn
ed over to the policeman his pistol
and his fathers that he had picked up
from the bottom Of the wagon. In his
cell Lawson expressed no sorrow nor
regret for his action, and showed no
excitement. A large number OF peo-
pie were on the streets at the time
and many witnessed the whole affair.
The general opinion is that the shoot
ing was not necessary
A young brother, who was just back
of the wagon, says that his father did
not draw his gun. Lawson was taken
at once to Laurens and placed in jail.

An Unexpected Problem at Panama

A most curious question has arisen
in connection with the locks at GatuI
and Miraflores, which open on the sea
level sections. When these locks are
filled to the next higher level the ad'
ditional water comes from Gatun lake
or Miraflores lake That is to say, the
added water is fresh. A fair statement
would be that all the water in these
locks when full is fresh from the sea
level up. Suppose now that ship has
entered one of these locks with the
purpose of descending to the sea and
that the gate to the rear has been
closed. Suppose further, that commu-
nication with the sea level section OF
the canal by means OF the great 1S-
foot discharge culvert and all subsldl-
ary culverts has been opened up. Be-
cause of the hydrostatic head supplied
by the fresh water in the lock-cham-
Der a rapid discharge will begin. But
when will it cease? Undoubtedly it will
cease when the hydrostatic head out
side and inside the lock chamber be-
come, in point of pressure equal. But
since the water inside the chamber is
much less salt than outside, and, con-
sequently, possesses a lower specific
gravity, the equalization of pressure
will occur when the water level inside
is higher than that outside. In other
words, the flow will cease before the
levels are equalized. A difficulty would
then arise, it is conceived, in connec-
ton with the opening of the gates
the pressure being different on the two
sides. 1t is held that by depressing the
discharge culvert to possible point
| the difference in pressure can be
reduced to a manageable amount or
even t. Zero The presence Of tidal
effects must also be taken into account
The result Of an Investigation into the
matter has been the recommendation
to place the whole faces Of the. dis
/ charge culverts in a horizontal plane
and to locate them at tw9nty-one feet
below the sea level at Gatun and at
twenty-five feet below NirafioTes.-

ing. A band of anarchists with head
quarters in Patterson, \. j., selected
Angelo Bresci to slay the king, who
had already, three years before, been
exposed to anarchistic bullets. The
king went to Monza to present the
prizes at gymnastic competition.
No special danger was feared, and no
particular precautions we're taken;
but as he was leaving the hall and
stepping into his carriage, Bresci
fired three times, one Of his shots
finding lodgment in the kings heart.
King Carlos of Portugal and the
Crown Prince Luis fell victims to a
revolutionary conspiracy On FEBRUARY
l, 1905 The kingdom had been in a
ferment for some time with the repub-
lican feeling which led year Or two
ago to the abolition of the monarchy.
The royal family had been at Will vi
cosa, and it was known that they were
about to return to their palace in Lis
bon AS they drove through the streets
the conspirators opened fire upon them
with carbines The king and the crown
prince fell dead, but Queen Amelia and
prince, now ex-King Manuel, escaped.
Of all the assassinations of crowned
heads OF recent years perhaps the
most dastardly was that Of the En-
press Elizabeth of Austria at Geneva
on September 10, 1898. The empress
had lived a blameless life, and had
known more than her full share of
sorroWs. She was famed for her chari-
ties, and her love Of travelling was re-
garded with respect and affection by
those who came within her influence
But as she was staying at Geneva, and
was walking quietly to her hotel the
French-Italian anarchist Luccheni at
tackled and killed her.
Of attempts to assassinate crowned
heads there has been a very large
number. Even so beloved a sovereign
as Queen Victoria was exposed three
or four times to the shots of would
be murderers, who were generally
thought to have been insane. King Ed
ward was the victim of an attack while
travelling in Belgium. But the most
sensational assault on royalty was
committed upon King Alfonso of Spain
and his bride, the princess Victoria
of England as they were driving home
after their marriage ceremony. A
bomb was thrown at the royal pro-
cession, and the carriage in which
the newly married pair was driving
was so badly shattered that they were
forced to complete their journey in
another, but niether the king nor
queen was injured.
