A PEARL BUTTON FACTORY. & Bright Prospect for a New Industry in Omaba.; fOW PEARL BUTTONS ARE MADE, | T'he Local Dry Goods Jobbers Encour- age the Bullding Up of Home In- | dustries by Handling Goods Made in Omah Poarl buttons are almost the last thing that one would expect to sce manufactured fn Omaha, and yota factory in the rear of 1313 Williams street is turning out goods of s discription b quite large quantities. | 'he decline of tho pearl button interests of | ustria has thrown many men out of em- | loyment, and & number of these Bohemian workmen came to Omaha a short time ago. he fact that the macufacture of pearl | uttons is being carried on successfully in | New Jersoy oncouraged Anton Masilko to try the experiment here, and accordingly a factory was opened ina small building at the place mentioned. Last week employ- | ment was given to seven men, although the | Dusiness is hardly more thau started. | Asnear as can be learned the cntarprise fleeds only a little more capital and business exporience to develop it into a great and pl’nll!:lh]u industry. Frank E. Dworak, who has been taking Bousiaerabio interest in the matter, reported that they called upon the two wholesale dry §oods houses in Omaha and received great encouragement from them both as they be- lieve in encouraging home factories of all Kilpatrick-Koch Dry Goods gompany gave thom quito a largeorder. The M. E. Smith Dry Goods company promised that thoy wouid buy all their pear! buttons Bore if they could be turned ont at the rignt prico and of good quality. Their buyer, George Tibb, ieft for the east this weok and fwhile there will look up the button business for the venstit of the Omaha factory. If buttons can be made here at the samo Emu as eastern buttons cost laid down here e Omaha dry goods jobbers can be dopended upon to handle them exclusively which alone will give employment to a _largo mumber of men. Then if consumers will mpel retail stores to handle them that will oubie the sizo of the factory. Thero aro rge jobbing houses at St. Joseph, Kansas ity. Minncapolis and St. Paul that would andle Owaha buttous if they could be mado t the right price. It may ve of interast to know something fbout the raanufacture of pearl buttons, as iv something new for this country. Pearl uttons arc made from mother of ‘pearl or rl shels, waich come from the Malay archipelago. The pearl stell fishery is an portant industry on the north coast of ustralia, producing about 500 tons annuaily Falued at'£500,000. Quite a large proportion of the shells ob- fained in the Archipelago are shivped to Ban Francisco and than to London, England, which s the world’s market for this com- modity. Thereis no stated value to pearl phells, as the market fluctuates from day to Say, according to the supply and demand. he shells are sold in Loadon on a stated @ay ench week and there the manufacturers rom all parts of Europo buy their supplies. ‘The bulk of the pearl shirt buttons are fpade in Eugland, Birmingham and London more particularly, while tho pearl dress but- tons are for the most part manufactured 1n and around Vienna, Austria. There arc threo qualitis of pearl dress “buttons known to commerce: [First the mac- @ssar, which is a pure white of which three- fourths of the super super, and extra super- no buttons are made; then the mussell from hich are manufactured the haif fine grados, 8nd tho manilla, which are made into third quality zoos. The macassar is distinguished by its pure _white, the mussell has a white urface with a yellowish back while the ) anilla is a pearl of yellowish tinge througt- ut. Besides quality there 15 a distinction in Mizo, pearl buttons being known to the trado 8s cighteen line, twenty line, etc. An Eng- lish hine 15 one-fortieth of an' inch, that is it kes forty lines to make an inch. The machinery used in the Omaha factory Ys very simple in its construction and though ado In this city shows plainly that it was fashioned aftera foreign model. Itcan be riefly described as a serwes of lathes in the rst of which the buttons are cut out from ho sheil, then fashioned into the proper shapo by means of chisels which are held onto tho surfaco while the button is rapidiy re- olved, then polished and finally holes rilled’ through them. Dark colored pearl buttons are made by the application of a ghemical to white buttons. The whole process appears to be simple, though it evidently requires considerable kil on the part of the operator. After the buttons are sorted according to uality aud size they are stitched onto cards d placed in boxes by women and girls. Foot power is the only motor used in tne factory, but American ingenuity may sug- t {mprovements in both machiaery and methods. Omaha Cigar Factories. Tho Omaba cigar manufacturers heid a eeting Friday morning for the purpose of consdering the propased oranization of all manufacturers. Thore wero presont West Fritcher, Beckman, A. V. Trott, . Trostler, S. Jorgepsen, H. Richard, H. Henoch, J. Hirshstéin and H. Beselin, There was great enthusiasm over the move fu favor of home patronage, and a resolution as unanimously adopted 'that thoy attend be meeting of the manufacturers ou Monday {n a vody The cigar business has suffered more than oy other line of manufacturo in Omana from the lack of home patronage. That is putting it too mild, however, and it would more pearly express the truth to sav that the cigar manufacturing interests in Omaha havo been wrecked by the custom so prevalent hore in lato years of goiug east for every- thing. It was only a fow years ago that éne firm employed 125° cizarmakers in his oy, and at 8 time, too hen Omaha was only about haif its present sizo. This particular firm put up what was fine building for the time, costing $19,000, sod moved intoit. At that time their busi- ness could not bave been bought for less than ,000. Where is this business now! Go east whero you buy your cigars and you will find it. The roprietors are still here'but they have seen hoir business and the business of every other cigar manufacturer dwindle down year ear until it amounts to almost noth There ure now thirty to thirty-five men employed in all the cigar factories of Oma or only about one-fourth of the num bor emplovea by one singie firm when Omaha was a city of only 60,000 inhabitants. Could anything demonstrate more forcibly the necessity for home patrouage than this reck of what was once an important indus- try. 'This, too, when it is takeu into consid- eration that with home patronage there would be work enough here for 500 cigar- makers. St. Paul employs between 400 and 500 elgarmakers and Minneapolis not many less. 1wo cities together employ not less than men in this branch of manifacture, Sioux City, with a population of 37,000, #mploys closo to forty clgarmakers, or more than Omaba. How do thoy manage to do thist I will give one single iu- stance that will furnish a koy to the whole matter. An Omaha cigar manufacturor bas an ola-time friend in the retail cigar busi- mess u Sioux City. He went up to seo his friend and proposed to sell him some cigurs ata very reasonable price. What was tho Bloux Clty man’s answer! *“You know that I would go a loug way to sccommodate you, Just a3 you would me, aud if you will movo your factory to Sioux City you can make ®every cigar that I sell, but I would not dare 10 buy @ cigar from any factory located out- side of this city. It my patroos found that 1 was golng away from Sioux City to buy my ods they would leave me." Clgarmakers earn $12 to 815 per week, or y on an average $13, which would bo low, and as & class they spend thelr money as tuey earnit. With 500 men workiig iu Omaba that would give $,500 weekly to be spent amoug the retail dealers of the city, or §35,000 per year. If business 50 lively and times generally so good that 0 business men and property owners of this Ly can afford o do without tais §338,000, let them @o on smoking eastern cigars and lot s0mo other city have the money. It any one asks as t5> what killed the cigar manufacturing intorests of this city the an- swor 18 easily given: The wholesals and re. tail dealers did it. through the indifference of smokers, Cigars mado by child and pauper 1abor in the tenemont honses of the east can be bought as low 811 per 1,000 and sold in this city at 5 cents apieco. 'That i why the dealor likes to sell oastera goods ond that is why he laughs when a smoker speaks of Omaha made cigars, and that is why he claims that they caunot make good cigars 1n Omaha, I'he eastern papers have *‘written up” the tenement houses where cigars are made and have painted such horriblo pictures of the filth of these places where the workers are suffering from the vilest of contagious dis- ©cases, that no eastern man will smoke these cigars, Statistics show that nine-tenths of theso cigars are sold in the west. Is it any won- der that careloss smokers wbo take what- ever the dealers pass out sometimes suffer from such aiseases as cancer of the mouth, When it comes to the better class of cigars that can bo retailed at from 5 cents up, made by union labor in factories open to public in- spection, Omaba can compete in price and | quality with any other city, Union lubor is no higher hero than in the cast, and leaf tobacco can be suipped trom the south and cast ata lower rate than the manufactured clgars. The whole trouble is that the wholesale dealers control the retail dealers and put off outothem the cheapest cigars that their trade will take, because there is more profit them. Tho only remedy is for he smoker to demand Omana brands in spite of what thie dealer may say Supposing thesmoker buys au Omaha mado cigar ath cents, he will get an article costing at the factory not less than per 1,000, in- tead of ono costing in New York from8l1 to . It may not please the dealer so well,and if you are smoking for his benefit you will have to take an eastorn made cigar. It has been suggested by several ' Omaha cigar manufacturers that the Manufacturo Association adopt some trade mark that could be placed on all Nebraska made articies, so0 that consumers would know that they were getting bome made goods.

Peter's Perapicacity and Inexplicable Weakness—Use and Abuse of a Term—The Ordination sermon. The sizo and character of the audionce that greeted Rishop 1. A. Goodsell yesterday morning at the First Methodist chureh were suficient, certainly, to have inspired any pulpit orator with a desiro to surpass him- self in the delivery of gospel truth, All the seats in the vast auditorium, in the gallery, and all the chairs that could be crowded into the aisles were filled and balf a hundred people stood in tue back part of the house through the entire service. Prominent business and professional men were uumer- ously sprinkled through the sudience and nearly all the Methodist ministers of the North Nebraska conference were prosent It was a cosmopolitan audience, composed largely of that class of paople who bear an honest share of the burdens of life and who dotermine to a great degree the trend of serious and substantial thought among civilized and cultured people. There were not less than 1,500 present. Bishop Goodsell selected v1, 05: “Then Simon Peter Lord, to whom shall we go' words of eternal life, Beauty of the Bible. stated the address would read something like this: “The older wo grow the more we behold the truth and the beauty of tne bible. As we become familiar with life and its experiences we discover that every phase of human life is set forth in God's word. We discover dif- ference of character in the twelve aposties, and it_makes tho gospel all tae more attrac- tive. When we are sad we sympathize with and aporeciate the loving tendersess of John's character. When looking out for the wickedness of the world we admire the sturdiness of James. When we aspire to heroic deeds of faithfuluess we turn to the character of Paul. “Not so muny of us have prayed that we might possess the characteristics of a Peter, for upon his life there came one dark blot, one hour of sin and cowardice, when he ought to have been traue. DBut this same Peter had a spiritual conception of Christ not attained by the other aposties. It was this same Poter that : “Thou art Cbrist, the son of iving_ God,’ whon 'the other disciples wero besitating. Christ did not come as the Jews had ex- pected him to come. They looked for a temporal King. He tore down the picture they had hung up and came to them ina very different form. He told thom He was to be a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Ho declared that His words were the spirit_and the life. He turned them away from the material to tho spiritual, and they did not comprehend the great sigsificance of his words. He knew that many who wers following him 1n the hour of His popularity would forsake him when they saw Him persecuted. “No wonder He was sad when He thought how they would forsake Him. But Peter perceived the spiritual signific reat Master's presence and ast the words of eternal lifs." Peter, afterward denied the Lord, knew him better than any of the disciples. The man who stands up nearest to the heart of the great God may in the hour of severo trial prove unfaithful and dony his master.” Words Are the Things. Turning then toanother thought the bishop said: *“Tho burden of tho gospel is life, life, not death. Thirty-nine times in the gospel Christ says He is tho life. ‘Iam come that ye may ‘have lifo and have it more abundantly,’ is the declaration of Christ All through the gospel runs the masterful and triumpnant strain of life, higher life and more abundant life. “Thou hast tho words of etornal lite.” Words may at first appear to be trivial things, but they are crystalized thoughts, they are very important. “No Christian should trifio with his wongue. There is a time when the little one cannot speak a word and o, how delighted the parent is to kear the baby lisp the first ‘papa’ or ‘mama’ Then thought begins to form words, and words become sacred. A man sins who is careless with his words. Words are forces. You caunot think without thinking words. What, tremendous meaning thoreis in a few simple words. Man, God, conscience, mind—what fathom- less meaning those words contain. How the littie word ‘yes’ has lifted many a man from the pit of gloom and uncertainty to the moun- tain top of hope and happiuess. “Christ was followed by great crowds of people because His words were the words of eternal life. He had great things to say. He must have been lonely because the people did not reach up and grasp the meaning f His wonderful words. ~ All great souls and great bodies are necessarily lonely attimes, be- cause thoy have thoughts that their followers do not comprehend. No life since the time when the morning stars sang together was s0 lonely as the life of Christ. Knowing that His followers would forsake Him in the hour of darkness, He said : *Will ye also go away ' Peter among them all_answered: ‘Lord, to whom shall we go! Thou hast the word$ of eternal life.' Wonderful fower of Love. Tho bishop then touched upon the charac- ter of true repentence and upon the power and willingess of God to save to the utter- most. Speaking of growth in grace tho bishop referred to the benign influeuce of human love in moulding character. He had seen young men fall in love with fair ana worthy young ladies, and be almost com- pletely transformed by the influence of the tendor attachment. 1ough aud boorish habits had given place to refinement and to manly characteristios. He had seen_society butter- flies transformed by the holy fire of conjugal and maternal love into the most admirable and blessed examples of womanhood. Next to the love of God, tho speaker said, the love of pure, noble womanhood was thé holiest aud most blessed element that has ever entered into buman life. But the love of Christ was above and beyond all this, and the transformation that it wrouehtin the human beart was oven more marked thau that produced by human love. The measure of a person’s Jove for God was, the speaker said, tho measure of his fitness for heaven. Speaking of sanctification tho bishop said that true sancuification never made peopie sour. Itdid not consist of feeling good or holy, but it was & state of soul. Oue might bo sanctified and yot weep urder tho sorrows of life. Another might be sanctified and seo tho sunlight of God's love In all things, Sanctification, he thought, was a state of soul in which'there was no bigotry, no jeal- ousy, but there was beotherly lové and s rene peace in the love of God. Abuse of a Good Word. The bishop then spoke of glorification. Ho said too word glory had been fearfully mis- applied und degraded. It meant, originally, the rising of the sun. The oarly lignt of the great orb of day as he shot his rays up from behind the m of the earth aud ushered in the morning in a blaze of beauty and power, was the real and original meauing of the word glory. It was absurd and degrading to speal of a man as being gloriously druuk, and in mauy other ways the word nhas been abused. Tne speakor then said that a mighty loco- motive hauling a train load of grain to the seaboard or a majestic steamer plowing tho billows with her burden of humanity were objects of glory. He had seen locomotives in the ditch and great ocoan_steamers stranded on the dry beach. Such sight usually Drought tears to his eyes. The engine did not belong in the ditch. The steamship was out of place on dry land. There were human beings just liko those locomotives in the aitch; just likothose great ocean steamships on the saud, out of place, wrocked and stranded. Thoy needed the love of God in their hearts to lift them un and place them upon the highway of boliness. The aidress was nearly an hour in_length, but did not seem so long. The bisnop erew quite eloguent upon several passages, and the frequent endorsement of nis words by broth- n the audience saying “Ameu’ proved that he was striking respousive chords all tae way aloog. ‘T choir cousisted of Mrs. L.

They were abroad yesterday in Omaha in brigades and they gave the general manager of the lower regions about the best walloping that he hus had in Omaha in man; Of course tho at tho First Methodist church drow good sized audiences, and many of the other churches were ell filled both morning and evening. Rev. H. Mansell, who has been years in India as a missionary, fi pulpit atthe First Mothodist churc last night, and delivered a very interesting address, consisting largely of personal ex- periences during his stay in the land of the Hindoo, Rev. Earl Cranston of Cincinnati preached at the Trinity caurch and found his text from the parable of the sower, recorde the fourth chapter of Mark. The speaker showed that Christ used the commonest lal guage of the day in order to_make the people understood. Ho said that God had difficulty in making fiuice beings understaud bis great truths because the human speech could mot express the great. thoughts of God. Chancellor C. F.

It 1s believed by some that an effort will bo mado today to divide the North Nebraska conference into five districts. If the effort ismade it will probably be defeated. In view of the action taken by the iay confer ence with reference to this matter a great many of the ministers &re notin favor of cutting the conference into any more dis- tricts. An effort will probably be made, also, to cut Omaha in two, placing part of the churches in the Omaha district and part in the Grand Island district. This effort will meot with considerable opposition, and witl probably be essigned to an early grave. *1 have had somo of the most ludicrous things hapoen to my name in receiving let- ters from the brethren ali over the coustry.” said Bishop Goodsell the other day just be- fore the close of the conference ses- sion, “that I think ever befell the name of any man, I have re- cewved lotters upon which my name was distorted into the following va- riety of moustrosities: Godsole, Gondsole, Guodwell, Goodswill and Guttsoie. Now my name'is spelled and pronounced after this fashion : G double 0-d-s-0 double I, Good- sell. Please bear that in mind, broturen.” The ministers of the North Nebraska con- fer ence have been well pleased with the re- rts of their proceedings published in Tus ee. Thoy have not been backward in saying so upon various occasions. Yesterday morning i the “love feast!’ a little incident occurred that showed the ap- reciation in_which the mnisters hold T 3EF, not only as a vehicle for sproading news, but of its editorial department as well. One brother arose and said: I don't very often read secular newspapers on Sunday, but I will confess right hiere that 1 read an cditorial in_a secular paper this morning. 1 don’t know what the bishop will think about that.”” “Taat what what depends altogother upon the editorial was about and is the kind of a paper found it in,” said the bishop as a broad a mighty broad—smile lit up his genial face. “Well, it was about the Methodist proscher,t said the brother, who had startea n to make a confession, “and it was in Tug Osana Bee. I just want to say that I thought 1t was excellent and I want to add o few words to it." The conferonce will probably close its pro- ceedings today. The appointments for next year will be announced tho last thing as usual. Bishop Goodsell goes from here to Lincoln to hold tho South Platte conference. —_— Half Fare Excprsions East.
