SAMUEL KIRK & SON
The Case of Peter H. Keelan
What Constitutes Evil Intent
A decision of interest to all manufacturers of jewelry and silverware was rendered in Baltimore, Md., a few days ago, by Judge Harlan, in the case of Samuel Kirk & Son against a former employe, Peter H. Keelan, charged with stealing six spoons. As last week reported in The Circular, Keelan acknowledged that the six spoons were made by him from the firm's silver for the wife of a fellow employe, an engraver, but that he had no intention of stealing the spoons, and had returned to the firm eight ounces of silver clippings given him by the lady, as an offset. The legal point involved was that of felonious intent, which must be present to constitute larceny. The Judge rendered a lengthy oral opinion, in which he ruled that it was clearly proven that the silver in the spoons belonged to Kirk & Son, and that the spoons had never, by the firm's consent, passed out of their possession. This constituted the two elements of taking and carrying away. As to the fraudulent intent, that was shown by the surroundings of the transaction. The prisoner had substituted, as he claimed, an equal amount of clippings, but he did it secretly and must have known that Kirk & Son would not have made any such exchange, if the firm had been asked to do so. And the man himself, as a silversmith, must have known he was taking something away for which he had not left equivalent value. As to its being shown that he did not intend to steal, by the fact of his leaving the clippings, he knew that he had to account, by weight, for silver received from the firm. Neither was there anything in the point advanced that he didn't intend to reap any benefit himself; it was just as much larceny to steal to make a present of the thing stolen as for himself. If he had no consciousness of wrong, he would have said at once just what he finally had to admit. The man was decided guilty.

SILVER TABERNACLE FOR GREECE
London
Commissioned by a millionaire Greek shipowner and made by a London firm of silversmiths, Wakely & Wheeler Ltd., a solid silver tabernacle (used in the Greek Orthodox Church as a receptacle for Holy Bread) has been flown to a newly-rebuilt church in a Greek village that was devastated by an earthquake. The church, in the village of Travliata, was destroyed in the disaster and has been rebuilt by the shipowner, Mr. D.C. Mazarakis, at his own cost.
The silver tabernacle was made from a model specially sent over from Greece. It is extraordinarily ornate, the entire surface being intricately chased and engraved. The dome gives way to arches, under which is the drawer for the Holy Bread. It is just over two feet high and weighs very nearly two stones.

LADIES' FOB WATCH FASHION
New York
Ladies' Watch Fobs in New Styles
The fad which came in a few months ago for wearing fobs attached to ladies' watches seems to be on the increase. The first examples of these new fobs were shown by importers; as the demand increased domestic manufacturers began to take quite an interest, so that to-day many of the most novel and attractive designs are of American manufacture.
Ribbons are largely used; as a matter of fact they lead all other styles. The ribbons in themselves are very rich and handsome and with the various ornamental bars of gold, silver, platinum or gold plate form a most pleasing combination.
Many of these ribbon fobs have a lap-over cut to a point and edged with metal, often supporting a handsome pendant. Again the center pendant is omitted and the jewel-cased timepiece is suspended from the metal-edged end of the fob ribbon.
A really elaborate expression of the fob has a coronet-shaped hook-holder and suspender in jewel-set metal and through its center is broadly banded with the same materials. Even more elaborate is a ribbon literally framed in silver as well as center-barred and coronet-ended.
Similar designs show the upper end of the ribbon fringed and, where folded over to half its length, held down with a metal bar matching a filigree suspender and a hoop base from which the watch swings. Another shows the lower edge of a rather broad ribbon deeply fringed and at its overlapped center, a bar to which the timepiece hooks. A third appealing model of the same type has its lower end convex-pointed and its lap-over upper one gathered into a ring which holds the watch. Half way to the top it is crossed by a bar in repousse metal, matching its hook-equipped coronet.

THE PARIS EXHIBITION - 1889
Goldsmiths' and Silversmiths' Company - Goldsmiths' Alliance
The largest and most varied display is that made by the Goldsmiths' and Silversmiths' Company (registered), 112, Regent Street, W. The best
products of their factories at Clerkenwell, Sheffield, Paris, and Belfast are shown, of the highest quality and finish, consisting substantially as
follows :—electro-plate, sterling silver, jewellery, diamond ornaments, table cutlery, dressing bags, &c. Although the great concern manufacture watches and clocks, such articles are here conspicuous by their absence. If a page of this monthly could be spared, justice might be done the Company in a detailed account of their magnificent installation, with its massive and glittering silver-ware ; but, that being impossible for lack of spree, the render must be referred to the exhibit itself, if a visitor to the International ; if not, to the sumptuous catalogue issued by the Goldsmiths' and Silversmiths' Company, which like their marvellous stand, contains everything from a simple finger-ring to the heaviest plate.
Adjoining—rather too proximate, in fact—is the smaller but no less worthy show of the Goldsmiths' Alliance (Limited), 11 and 12, Cornhill, E.C. For many years the concern was conducted under the firm-style of A. B. Savory & Sons, whose silver plate and silver-plated manufactures (produced in the factory on Red Lion Street, E.C), were famous throughout Europe. The Goldsmiths' Alliance exhibit will always have myriads of admirers, particularly from serious mesdames and gay mesdemoiselles. over their exquisite afternoon tea services, the designs about which are simply superb. It is on table services, in truth, that the combination score highest, shading their other meritorious productions by this one excellence. From asparagus tongs, butter coolers, epergnes, waiters, and crumb scoops, to muffineers, soufflet dishes, and wine funnels, the Alliance, in their goods, maintain the solid reputation founded for them by the first Savory over 100 years ago.

THE MEXICAN SILVER MARK
Mexico City
Silversmiths Plan Mexican Hallmark
Mexico City - Dec. 9 - (AP) - Mexican silversmiths plan to stamp a hallmark on their goods to guarantee the fineness.
The union of Silver Industries says the government approves the idea and will probably adopt it.
During the war, the union says, some silver houses swindled buyers by selling low grade silver as sterling.
The plan is to adopt a design such as the Mexican eagle which would be stamped on each article with the quality given. Most Mexican silver articles are sterling which is .925 fine or 9 1/4 tenths pure silver. Some use .940 .950 and even purer silver which is softer but takes a more satiny polish.

The day before his death, Sept. 15, he sat in his office listless and apparently oblivious of his surroundings. When he arrived home for supper he was about to carve the meat when he exclaimed, "I am going to die, Good-bye!" He expired the next instant.
Mr. Jukes was beloved by all the trade in Boston. He was with W. A. Thompson, the first to rent offices in the Jewelers' building, 27 years ago.
He was born in Birmingham, Eng., Sept. 9, 1861, and came to this country when 12 years of age. He leaves a widow, four sons, two daughters and four sisters. The funeral was held at his late home in Arlington, Sept. 18, many of the Boston jewelers attending or sending floral tributes.
