An Interview With a Conflrmed User of the Dru Reclining on a bench in one of the city jail cells Saturday was a man appar- ently about five and thirty years old, whose general appearance was that of a “sport.”” He was k 'y Duffy, and he waa arrested, a8 mentioned in the Bre Yesterday, on a charge of bemg a sus- picious character. A reporter, who was informed that the man was a confirmed morphine fiend whose daily use of the drug had reached almost the furthest pos- gible limit, questioned him about the cir- cumstances of his falling into the habit “Ifell off a horse during one racing season,” ho replied, answering the re- orter’s first query, and was so badly in- ured that the doctors had to give me morphine to quict the pain.

A Young Girl Lured to Her Ruin by Vile Procuress. Louisa Mercer, a fresh, pretty, inno- cent appearing girl, eame into the court of Justice Anderson Saturday and, with tears in her eyes, told astory which, if true, shows that there is need of some “Pall Mall Gazette exposures” in this city. In brief, her tale was that up to two weeks ago she was living with her parents in Council Bluffs, She met on the street one day a woman giving her name as Mrs. krenchy, who offered to take her to Omaha to teach her the art of dressmaking. The girl, unaware that she was in the hands of n procuress, willingly accompanied her — suppo: benefactor to this city.

ODDS AND ENDS. Stray Leaves From the Reporters Note Books, “The uncasy feeling which is being caused by thestrike all over the country,’” said o prominent architect to a reporter for the Beg, “*has struck Omuha in full force, and is causing a loss of thousands of dollars to our profession and to the eity. Tuke my own ease for instance, Three weeks ago I had orders for two I business blocks, and several smaller buildings, dwellings, ete, amounting in all to about $150,000, and every single order has been countermanded within the past few days. Isuppose other archi tects are suffering the same way, “The danger to the city, in the matter of re- tarded growth, will be aimost incaloula- ble, unless this unsettled state of affuirs comes to an end, and that yery soon. Another thing which has made” capi- f reluctant to i building schemes,” concluded the chitect, after musing « few moments, “is the fact that the cost of building is so much greater this year than it was last. The masons and *carpenters haye de- manded v of nine hours’ work, ask- ing ot the sume time that theiv w main just the s Take the masons, for iustanice. They make $1.50 u da t hours' wor or 40 - cents THE OMAHA DAILY BEE 886, | MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1 an hour. Now they want to work nine honrs a day, and at the same time get the extra forty-five cents for the hour’ work which they do not do. The conse quence is that the cost of building is pro- portionately increased, and a building which cost 000 last year, will cost £6,000 th The masons and ear- penters say that they want to sacrifice the extra hour so as to give employment to the Iarge number of men now out of work. That is all very well, but why don't they sacrifice the extra pay? So far as T can see, thoy have no more right to ask ten hours’ pay for nine hours work than I have to :.si them to do ten hours work for nine hours’ pay.'” A certain young lady school teacher had a very hard time of it this week it at tempting to reach Omaha from a friend’s house who lives about ten miles from the city. James Attwood, of the livery firm of Attwood & Fox, drove out after the young lady with a buggy and double team, and started on the return trip. They had only accomplished about five miles of their journey, however, when the buggy suddenly sank in a mud hole, from which it could not be extricated. The situation was rather an unpleasant one, but Mr. Attwood took his companion to a neighboring farm house for the night, and mounting one of the horses rode to Oma- ha for another vehicle. he next morn- ing he returncd for the young laay, and again they started on their journey. About two miles had been driven when o second accident overtook them, the buggy breaking o nm.nf that it was im- possible to proceed. The ||Inck{' chool teacher, however, refused to let Mr. Att- wood come to Omaha a second time alone, and_accordingly mounted one of the horses and rode to town. In spite of the absence of de-saddle it is said she sat her steed well, and demonstrated that had she been trained for the saw-dust arena she would have made a magnificent bare-back rider, TAKING UP THE WORK. The Rev. Mr. Bitler at the First Moth- odist Church, The First M. E. church on Davenport street was thronged last evening on the occasion of the opening of a series of re- vival meetings by the evangelist, Rev. R. N.Bitler. This gentleman has had much success throughout the state, and notably at Lincoln, where he just closed a series of powerful revival meeting: After singing, the service was opened with an_earnest prayer by the pastor, Rey. McKaig. Several songs by the choir and congregation followed, during which a large number of late als pushed in, until the back part of the house was almost completely filled by those stand- ing up and looking for seats. S suggest,’ said the pastor, “that the n people come forward and oeccupy these vacant rows in the front so that our friends back there may find seats.” “Perhaps, brother,” suggested Mr, Bitler, “it would be best to save these seats for the sinners,” The_ pastor graciously accepted the amendment, and seats “wore found in various parts of the house for nearly all who came in. Mr. Bitler's remarks were earnest and to the point. He took his text from the 13th Jmpmr of Mark—beginning with the 3dth y ‘But of that 4|n§ and_that hour knoweth no man. * # = I say unto you what 1 say unto all, ‘watch.’’” He bégan by impressing upon’his hearers the necessity of being on the watch for the coming of the Lord, of which adven a8 the gospel says, no man_knoweth the hour. "The Christian life affords the only oguard against being taken unawares by the coming of the Lord Jesus, People may say what they please, but the Chrjstian lite can alone secure perfect joy. The infidel may laugh and say t no God, butin bis heart he feels diffe and trembles under the consciousness a higher power, Continuing, the speaker dwelt particu- larly upon the fact that God i given, to all those who yield themselyes to_ him, some work to~ perform. Perhaps it might be a humble work, but still there was something for all to do. To each one, whether %e possesed the ten talents or but the one, God has allotted n eculiar task, not too much nor too little ut just cnough. So we must all fu the tasks which have been marked out for us. If that task be the redem ption of souls in this city, God help us to nerve ourselves to the work. Itis not a que tion of having many talents, but of being loyal to God in using what we have to His glory, that dets s in our great work. M, Bitle brrought this out very forcibly Dby using the illustration of a railroad “In the operation of at railway,” | said, *‘there are many posts to fill-—th must be gene manager, superinten- dent, the conductors, brakemen and switchmen, ete.

Our craft 1s between six and seven hundred strong in Omaha, but for the want of thorough organization we have not at- tained to that point in our eraft equal to that of our associate neighbor builders in their craft, viz: the brick masons, plas- terers, stone masons and granite cutters, They have succeeded in perfecting or- ganzations adapted to their special crafts, and secured fair compensation for their labor as the result of organ tion. They say it pays them to maintain an tion. Before they were or- ¢ at the merey and com- y Tom, Dick and Ha met their employers at a disadvantago, who dictated what the price of their labor should be and the number of hours for a s work, which was a much lower e and longer hours. Ve see that our neighbors are getting |le:|-n|h 0 we are penters. Ts are getting better pay | some cities by reason of organization than hundreds of carpenters are getting in Omaha. Why is this? fii our labor less necessar \ul} theirs more im- portant? Or is it not because they unite for it, while carpenters remain and take meekly whatever is That this is so is our own fault, our condition as carpentes nd if you will. We cannot get away from it any more than Prometheus could get away l)l'nm Mount Caucasins, where ho was ordered to be chained, and for 80,000 years a vulture was to feed upon h's liver, whioh was never to diminish., Our trade demands that we be exposed tothe heat of summer and the frosts of winter, and to danger of Ife and limb. 'Many an 1dle day is forced upon _us = through bad weather and short jobs he severity of our work causes great wear and tear of clothes, and demands wholesome food, while the destruction and loss of tools costs us many dollars in the year. And for all this What 18 our pay? Are we propetly recompensed for our skill and toil, for the long, weary ye wo spent tolearn our trade? Are we willing the curpenters and joiners of Omaha, situated so far morth that we cannot on more than eight months of work in the year by reason of the ne cold latitude that congeals our craft or business, to remaw indifferent to our eraft, and permit it to sink lower and lower, when at the same time we have the power to elevate it and make it the most respectable of all the building trades We have a Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners union in Omaha, in a thrifty condition—a branch of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiner of America, with headquarters at Cleve- nd, Ohio, It has for its obj scue the try which it has fallen, and'by mut to raise ourselves to that position in society to which we are justly entitled; to cultivate a feeling ot fricngship among the craft, and to clevate the moral, intel- social condition of all jour- 1t is furthermore ] h other to secure employment, to furnish aid in cases of death or permanent disability, and for mutual relief and othe nevolent pur- poses.” For this purpose the lSrudlcr— hood of Carpenters and Joiners of America was founded. It was formed m_a convention of carpent unions, held in Chieago, 11, August 12, 1881. Since then the orotherhood has grown so as to form asohd chain of unions from Nova Scotia to San Fran- cisco, and from Canada to Texas, under one head, numbering thousands of mem- bers, and constantly growing in strength and power as “The gen- eral internation nefits are: §250 death benefit, $250 disability benefit, $50 in e of wife’s death. We have a weekly local benefit in cases of sickness or disa- bility, of $4 per week. We trust that every journeyman carpenter of Omaha who has the welfare of his craft at heart, will unite with us upon the understanding that in union there is strength.
