Profits of a Clipping Machine— Earnings of the Coal Miners— Carpenters and Joinevs. General Labor Notes. Striking Coovers. Ea:ly last week all the union coopers em- ployed in the packing houses at South Omaha dropped their hammers, threw aside their bedtick aprons and walked out. A general strike was declared. The troubie arose over the bosses eutting ¢he pay from $3 to $2.50. The wen refused to stand the cut and quit work in a body. A number of the men have left the city and gone to Kentucky where good. coopers are just now in demand, The men who will re- mam are confident of winning the strike. As yet tho bosses have boen unable to secure any scab coop The Coopers’ union is in @ healtby financial condition. There are nearly one hundred members, Ouly a fow coopers either in Omahaor South Omaha are non~union men, ““Ten years ago,” said one of the strikers, coopers” got 18 ceats apicce for making tlerces. At that time they got .50 and &3 ner day for vacking house cooperage. Now they ure getting 85 and 40 cents for tierces 1n Chicago and South Omaha, and the bosses want to cut our pay to $2.15 per day. It is much harder to work in the packing houses 10 the summer thun in the winter, owing to the necessity’of spending 80 much time in the chill room. In the winter when the tem- perature insida and out is more equable 1t 18 mpossible to make full time. At the time of U walk-out a number of the coopers were only making haif ume. I know of oune instance where a good man worked uineteen straight months at Fowler's packing house nd only averaged $1.76 a day. His wages were at the rate of §2.50 per day. So you fan s0o how much time we are compelled’ to 0so." In case the bosses hold out, and the treas- ury of the Coopers' union runs dry, tho strikers will be promptly assisted by other unions both in Omaha and South Omaha, A Profitable Industey. “What pay do you follows eet for clipping ahorse?” was asked a burley negro as ne ran the clippers up and down the left leg of chunky chestnut gelding in a Sixteenth street barn, “Does you mean what do we get, or de boss 1" replied the Ethiopian as he kept ahead with his work without even looking up. » ], either, or both. “The boss gets from $2 to $2.50 a nead. I got 50 cents and the man who turns the crank on the machine gets 50 cents, Tho boss gets the balance,” A chipping machine costs from $30 to 50, There is little expense attached to the run. ning of ono_of thew, and when kept busy have proved to be a very profitable invest- ment. A horse can be handsomely clipped in less than an hour, In Omaba there are only three in active o, and all of thew are doing @ thrifty business. Independent Tailors and Prices. ‘The Customs tailors' independent union of Omaha has finally filed its articles of wcor- poration with the sccretary of state and asked for a charter. This act cannot but cause strife and rivalry among the journey- meu of this city. As statea in Tus Bee last Sunday there will be twu unions, namely & branch of the custom tailors’ national union and the inde- pendents. The latter, of course, is purely a local affair. The national union allows ounly one organization to be established io a city. 1o case of astrike, or the need of assistance, the natioual tailors are nov expected to as- sist the indevendents and vice versa. The trouble among the tailors arose over the munagement of the local union. It was not a question of wages, as has been erron- ously printed in some Omaha papers, Some of the members were dissatished with the officers and their conduct. A few of the Dbosses were among the first to pull out. They were followed by & number of journeymen, and now the whole matter 18 in the hands of a committeo from the central labor union. The scale of prices, signed by all the mem- bers of the independent union, is as follows : UNDERCOATS, Singlo-breasted suck...... OVERCOATS, Double-brensted surtout or 1ly.

They make the tollowing proposition: (1) A means of yro« veutl foolish competition in the selling prico of coal; (2) & falr advance in the wa- | ation ges of miners and mine laborers; (%) more | uniform conditions in nieg and weigh- ing coal at tho mines; (4) the appointment of a joint arbitration board to adjust in & peaceable all controversies and grievan (5) the co-oper- of mine owners in the establishment of a relief fund, to be used as a rolief to widows and orphans and miners, and also to help those who are so unfortu- nate to be disabied by accrdents 1 mines (6) the reorcanizution of the interstate plan in’ adjusting mining rates, An eight-hour resolution was adopted and one requiring the approval of mining and hauling con~ tracts by the executive board. The state labor bureau was indorsed and reports cailed from 1t every your. ‘The committee on legislation recommend the enactment of a law establishing somi- monthly payments; abolishing the infamous system of truck stores; the examication of siationery engineers; a law making coal screens uniform throughout the statej the amendment of the miniog laws so as to pro- vide for the inspectors of the ruespective mining districts, or some other competent person, to act as sealer of weights aud measures; for the adjustment of scales upon which coal is weighed at the mines. f After wuch controversy the price for min- ing coal at Osage C where all the supply is furnished for the Santa e railroad, has been satisfuctorily agreed upon betwesn the owners and laborers. In the summer season the men will be pmid $1.4) per ton and in the winter $1.60 per ton.

As ausual thing the work of repairing the tracks and Dbridges 18 completed about November 1.

MANUFACTURER, The Carpentors The Carpenters’ and Joiners' union still holds interesting weetings in Green’s hall twice each month. The attendance is always large, and a satisfactory feeling provails all along the line.

AN lNFiD’L's’PHILOSOPHV. Extraordinary Last Moments of a Vi- enna University Professor. A most remarkable death-bed scene took pluce in Vienna three weoks @ The hero of it was & young profe the university there, ‘suys the St. Glebe-Demoerat. He wus a man of groat brilliancy and learning. His lec- tures concerning the inner life of the soul were famous among the students, who visited them in crowds. He wag regarded by his fellow professors in the philosophical faculty as the coming n the department of psychology. Socially. also, he was a man of consider- able prominenc He was married into a wealthy fumily, aud took every ovpor- tunity to et his wife and three children all the pleasure that the gay Austrian capital affords. At the th tre, on the promenade and at the court balls he was one of the most famil- iar figure Four years ago he fell ill of an incur- able disense, and his physicians warned him that only a radical change from his gay mode of lif¢ could hinder for a short time the progress of the malady. The young profdssor answered quietly that he would did as a philosopher should die, without an effort to defer his last day. He gte, drank, studied, lectured and daneed exactly as he aid before the doctor warned him. A few woeks ago ho lay'down on his deathbed. He read the samé books and talked of the same frivolofis amusements as usual up 1o one evening about three weeks ago. At 8 o'clock the doctor then told bim that he would die within a few hours. The youug professoe discussed many topics entively foreign to the sub- ect of his fast-gpproaching death with his wife till midyight. Y1 foel well, yery well,” he said to her finally, **so well'that I would like to drink a bottle of champagne with you before I go. Kiss mo—for I muy go while you are awuy—and then have tho wine put on ice.” "His wife obeyed. A few minutes later he took the bottle from the servant’s hund, poured out the wine for his wife and himself, emptied his giass to her health, Hung it on the floor, and dropped back on his pillow, end., The Viennu dailies, which have a constitutional prejudice against print- ing the full uame of any man of high social standing, mention the hero of this strange scens ouly as Herr Prof. P——.

The Carious Side of Life, A curious instance of the effects of the Christian science craze occurred here vecently, says a Eau Claire, Wis.. dispatch to the Chicago Herald. There is quite a large circle of students of the science in this city and they hold reg- ular meetings' for the dicussion of methods and cases. One of the number, | a gentlemtn who resides just out of the city, had a sick horse on his hands. The veterinary surgeons could do noth- ing for the unimal, and the local Christiun science experts fuiled also. Thereupon the owner of the horse, huv- ing plenty of time and not ing for the expense, went to the telegrapn office and wired an account of the cuse to a Christinn Chicago. The s) given in the telearam, and the Chicago ex- pert was asked to treat the case by the usual method. The horse was at that time apoarently on its last lezs. The Chicago scientist wired back that he was treatingthe horse to the best of his ability, and was thinking hard. With- in five hours the horse was well and eating oats. The case was duly re- ported at the next meeting of the circle, and the members are pursuing their experiments with renewed faith in the science. st I2nd, Presbyterian ne of an unusuni musi- cal event on lust Sunduy evening, writes a correspondent of the Pittsburg Press, It caused wvo little commotion and amusement amonyg the members of the church choir, ‘The innocent cause of the disturbance was a little Scoteh terrier beionging to the family of a young lady who uacts as the church orgamst. He had slyly con- trived to follow his young mistress, un- known to her, from home to the organ loft, and, af securely ensconcing himself in a comfortable cor: waited patiently for the evening s organist was very much surpr shortly after commencing the voluntary, to hear asuccession of sopulchral groans from the cor On investigation she was completelytaken aback on discov- ering the httlé Scotchy. which jumped and frisked about, exhibiting 1ts great delight. It was evident the cani soul was thrilled with joy, but ney theless it was out of the question for him to remain a member of the choir, and he was promptly ejected. This incident over, the choir pro- ceeded to sing an anthem, but they had not sung through the first verse when from the oulside was heard the unmis- takable howling of the undaunted ter- rvier. It bad returned tothe att and emed bent on joining in the sivging v hook or crook. This caused u sus- pension of music by tha choir, as be= tween the mild panic and laughter er ated by the renewed attempis of the faithful animal it was impossible to go The musical prodigy was again in- Park avenu church wasthoes on, gloriously ejected, this time with more force than atfection and ngain the serv- - 1ce_proceeded. But 1t was evident that the canine meant to stay on till the tevmination. Still. as the next hymn was being sung, the far-off echo of & now familiar voico was heard from the back hallw where he had been banished, T young peopie were almost explodi Finally the canine musician dragged outside and sent home unde escort to prevent his return. There died at Sugar Island last week a woman who could have maae a for tune in a dime museum had she chosen, says a St. Johus, N. B., dispateh to tho Pittsburg Post. [t was Mary Goodhue, kuown 1 alk the country round as “The woman who sewed with her mouth.” She was born of French par entage about fifty or fifty-five yearsago. She had vo hands or arms or legs or feet, or at least uone 1n any way de- veloped, these members never having grown after she was born. Hor hody was of full si nd her mind was fully developed. She was very intelligent, ing very freely in” both French s v life she developed a foudness for sewing: but how she was to perform this task when she had- no hauds or t to assist her in this arduous She astonished her relatives by peginning to sew with her mouth, Finally she became so expert that sho could cut the material with the scis- , thread the needle and then do sewing, using only her mouth for for all the operalions. A great many people from this city and from the sur- rounding country witnessed her per- form this wonderful work, and some eople have in_ their possession squares or patch-work quilts done by her, She pieced a number of quiits and could make one known as the *‘Log Cabin” variety, » most difficult task to perform, It is said that Barnum, hearing of this wonderful woman, offered her arge pay to go with his show. Mary would have gone, but her family ob- jected, and so she remainedat home. One of the brightest adver in Chicugo made his rise th fail of anothe ng men ough the It was some years ngo, when, as a mere boy, he was tramping the streets of Chicago broke and in senrch of any sortof a job which offered, says the Chicugo Herald. His lust nickle had gone for food, and one after- noon he wus walking through a down- town alley, tired and disgusted. Hap- vening to glance upward ne saw a hoy leaning out of & window. In a moment the boy lost his balance and fell to the ground with the custor dull, sickening thud, The discournged man hastened to the boy’s side and discovered that death had been instantaneous. Look- ing up at the open window from which he had fallen the man counted the sto- ries and then sought the stairway noar by. Mounting the stairs he dashed into the editor’s room, for it was the office of the Prairie Farmer, and.blurted out: **Do you want a boy?’ Looking up in surprise the editor answered, **No, have a boy.” Then the man saxd, * bet you haven’t—your boy just fell from the window and is dend. I want his place.” Tuvestigation found that the man was vigh® and he was eng for his pushing way. Since the has risen by deg, and made money, and very fow of his friends know how he gained his place.

Just then the Livingstong ho- tel 'bus struck the first man athwart the fifth and sixth ribs, knocked off his hat and well-nigh floovea him. Simui- taneously the other man got a whack from the off horse’s head that nearly took his breath away. “Hi!” yelled the driver, “are both of you fellowsasleep?” The men beat a hasty retreat to the sidewalk. - “Where'’s “the cat?” asked the newspaper man. ‘“The cat be blanked!"” said the other. Just then they caught sightof the venturesome creature sitting on an orange box under the awning and complacently arrang- ing her toilet. A wealthy but rather eccentric gea tleman named Ramouding recently died in Paris, and by his will the widows and orphans of the tims ot the terrible expiosion in the 8 near St. Ftienne ave left over 1,000,000 franc: Ramoud- 1ng, provious 1o his death, created some astonishment by ordering a coflin of o special pattern, a step which hefollowed up by purchasing some ground in the cemetery, in which, also, by his instruc- tons a vault was built. Room was al- lowed'in the sublertgnean chamber for three coffins, “B sfiall be quite at my euse,” was the grim.peply of M. Raui- ouding to some onée whointerrogated him on the subject. Monday was de- voted to the inditing of a number of letters, but no suspieions seem to have been excited by the man’s strauge con- duct. The following morniug ne was found dead, How Miss Braddon Writes. Miss Bruddon is ene of the few liter- urfy women who have uov allowed them- selves to bu spoiled by suc , and who have no hesitancy aboutadmitting their ages, says the fiuw York Worla: On the contrary she is rather proud of her fifty-three vears and fifty-theee novels, although she is reluctunt to talk about her books, dismissing inquiries with the assertion that sne “can’t tell how they ave written,” Four days of the week she writes steadily, forbidding even the postmun to disturb her, and the rest of the time is spent in the snddle, where her think- ing is done. She studies Dickens for style, weaves her plots from suggestions of .old newspaper elippings, which she bas been collecting for the last thirty yeurs, and edits her copy as she writes it. Hor husbund publishes herbooks an d is pronounced hor severest critic. Their acquuintance began, it is said, in a wrangle over the first manuscript she submitted, and the able defense that won his admiration afterwards captured his affections. Notwithstanding the half hundred books thut o passed threugh his hands this husband-pub- lisher finds new and startling faults in each succeeding volume to criticise. Miss Braddon is fair and rosy in face, with bright auburn hair, blue eyes, an- gular in build, and of nervous temperas ment, — Notwithstanding the very tireson tion of its name, “Eiffel Lower" colors and designs in vrimming rewain in fash started to cross East Main street, just opposite the Arcade, on Saturday af noon when traffic was at its climax, Her chances of getting across the street salely did not seem to be the best, as RESTORED.
