JEWELLERS' OUTING
Toronto
Jewelers' Picnic.—The firm of P. W. Ellis & Co., manufacturing jewellers of this city, gave their first annual picnic last week to their employees and friends, numbering over 120, who left by the steamer McEdwards, especially chartered for the occasion, to Victoria Park, accompanied by a full string band. A most enjoyable day was spent, the committee having provided every variety of amusement, including dancing, football, cricket, croquet, and a good programme of athletic sports, to the winner of which valuable prizes were given. The football match was between the gold chain makers and jewelers on the one side, and the watchmakers, engravers, polishers, and clerks on the other, and resulted in a draw. An amusing feature of the athletic sports was a quarter mile walking race between the young lady employees of the firm. Dinner and supper had been provided for the party. After partaking of the latter the evening was spent in songs, recitations and speeches. The party returned about ten o'clock highly pleased with the day's outing.

TREASURE TROVE IN RUSSIA
Starogorodki, Tchernigon
A Russian peasant named Levtchko has just discovered an immense treasure trove in the village of Starogorodki, in the Governorship of Tchernigon. The peasant lived upon land forming part of the estate of Prince Ostersky, whose ancestors were plundered and expelled from their possessions by the Tartars, and there is little or no doubt that the treasure and other articles found date from this period. Levotchko was at work for ten years in making this discovery, which includes, besides many precious articles and manuscripts, twelve large boxes filled with very ancient coins of fine gold. The total value of the find is given at 17,000,000 roubles, two-thirds of which go to the State and one third to Levotchko, whose share will amount to approximately £600,000 sterling.—London Times.

TRADE UNIONS IN THE ELECTRO-PLATE TRADE
Sheffield
Silversmiths In the silver and electro-plate trades—that is, electro-plate on German silver, as distinct from electro-plate on Britannia-metal—there are the same attempts by the men's union to limit the number of apprentices, and, though the trade has not been reduced to the same small proportions as the Britannia-metal trade, there is a distinct shortage of men. It is declared that of entree dishes, trays, and other articles which require careful hammering, 30 per cent, more could be produced in Sheffield if only there were enough skilled hammerers to do the work; and, as it happens, the work is of a kind where machinery would be of little avail. It is complained, too, that there is a marked falling off in the quality of the Sheffield silversmiths' work, the men taking less pains with it than in former days; but this is attributed in good part to the fact that electro-plate will cover many imperfections, whereas when, in the days of the old Sheffield plate, a man accidentally worked through the thin sheet of silver rolled on to copper, which was the material he then used, the whole article was spoiled. The present-day falling off is, indeed, attributed not so much to trade unionism as to the frailties of human nature.

Rivalry for the "Olympia" Silver Service Order
Portland, Ore., Nov. 15.—The committee having in charge the presentation of a silver service for the warship Olympia, as a gift from the State of Washington, have decided it shall be the most magnificent service in the American navy. There is considerable rivalry among manufacturers to secure the contract for making the service. That presented to the cruiser San Francisco was designed by Shreve & Co., San Francisco, and so far is pronounced one of the finest in the navy. The Shreve people have agreed that should this order be given them they will excel all other efforts in making this service the most beautiful yet produced. They have also asked for the privilege of subscribing to the fund. The people of Washington are subscribing liberally to the fund, which has already reached quite a sum.

AN UNFORTUNATE CHAIN OF EVENTS
Boston, Massachusetts
Boston Jewelers in a Trolley Car Smash-Up
Boston, Mass., July 8.—Frank F. Place, three of his employes and a couple of trolley cars had a chapter of accidents July 4 of a most singular character. By invitation of Mr. Place, his optician, Samuel Learned, and clock repairer, C. H. Johnson, accompanied him early in the morning to his home in Westwood to spend the day with him.
While en route their car was in collision with another, and all three were seriously shaken up, Mr. Johnson’s collar bone being fractured. He was thrown from his seat by the force of the impact. Charles E. Pence, who is also a watchmaker for Mr. Place, visited the latter during the day, and attempted to board an electric car to return to the city early in the evening, but it was moving more rapidly than he calculated and he missed his footing, being carried a considerable distance by the car. Three physicians attended him through the night, and he has since been removed to his home in Chelsea, where his condition is still somewhat critical, concussion of the brain complicating his case.

UNWANTED DESIGNS ON BATTLESHIP SILVER
United States
There is probably no subject which gives so much trouble in its way as the gifts to vessels of the Navy and the functions attending such ceremonies and the launching of the ships themselves. Every now and then proposed gifts involve a design which meets with disfavor. It is identified as offending good taste or conveying a slight or insult. The recent disturbance which was created over the design of a battleship gift, because it contained a representation of Jefferson Davis, has not been forgotten, and now the chance that the gift of a silver service for the U. S. S. Utah may include an effigy of Brigham Young is stirring some people to the depths of their innermost feelings. The objection which has been raised is one which is entirely justified. Brigham Young was not the sort of public character who should be memoralized on a silver service presented to an American ship of war. He did not represent any progress in national affairs which needs to be commemorated. He was, under the law, an offender, and there ought to be some other individual who will more worthily represent the state of Utah when it comes to presenting a likeness of any person on a gift to a battleship.

A TRAGIC INCIDENT OF MOVING DAY
New York
There was considerable excitement on Maiden Lane, New York, last Tuesday afternoon when it was reported that a workman had been killed in the new Hays Building. It appears that Patrick Murphy, an employe of the Marvin Safe Co.,with several other men, was hoisting a safe on the elevator. When the car reached the seventh floor, Murphy with two others tried to drag the safe out on the landing. As the seven ton safe rolled out, the elevator, relieved of the weight jumped up about two feet, tilting over the safe.
The landing between the safe elevator and the passenger elevator shaft is only about five feet wide. This shaft was open, as workmen were completing the car on the first floor. As the safe tilted, it pushed Murphy off the landing over the edge of the open shaft and down into the cellar. The other workmen barely escaped by jumping to each side. A great crowd gathered in front of the building when the news of the accident spread. An ambulance was summoned, but the man never breathed after he struck. Later in the day Coroner Shea visited the building and gave permission for the removal of the body. Murphy leaves a widow and two children.
