There is a street car, run by the city, which for a fare of 4 cents takes you the four miles from Liver- pool to the factory. I had a seat on the top and could see something of the business of Liverpool as I rode. We passed through miles of warehouses, by teams of great Shire herses hauling loads of from five to ten tons, through long streets of two-story huildings, the homes of the workingmen, by residences of the better classes and on out into the country. There were factories here and there along the way and a thick smoke seemed to hang over the city as we rode out of it. I alighted at the wrong end of the factory and walked almost a mile in going about the walls which sur- round the grounds before I reached the office. I presented myself as an American newspaper correspondent, and upon my as- suring the manager that I was not in the match business I was shown over the works. American Machinery. Nearly every bit of the machinery in the factory 's American. The enginds were made by the Buckeye Engine company of Salem, O., and the dynamos by the Elec- trical Manufacturing company of Akron. The boiler came from Chicago and the match machines were put up by men from Barberton. But I can give you a better idea of the factory by describing my trip over it. 1 was taken first to the top, where we found hundreds of girls seated high above the ground, about revolving tables, putting the covers on match boxes filled by machinery. The girls looked heal'by and well dresscd, and in these respects they are superior to the average factory girls of th's country. They are far better treated, and the effect is shown in their general appearance. Din- ing rooms are provided for the emp'oyes, and the American capitalists give tham‘ three meals a day gratis, They get a cup| of hot tea and a biscuit in the morning, ai bowl of hot soup at noon and at 4 p. m. they are again served with tea and biscuit. There are large kitchens in the basement and the provisions supplied by the mun-‘ agers are pieced out with the food the em- ployes bring with them from home, or they can buy their meals at cost price. A good dinner is served for 6 cents and single dishes for 1 or 2 cents. The result is that the factory is a most desirable p'ace ot employment. There is more than enough zocd labor always on hand, and the best workmen are secured. | The effect of the treatment has been a| surprise to other employers of labor about Liverpool, and several of the large English tactories are adopting similar methods. Matches Not Made in Heaven. | But come with me and take a look at the ! factory. I have called it a Yankee institu- | tion, and so it is in its machinery and in the money that runms it. “The most of the employes are English and the matches are sold all over England under the advertise- ment, *“Made by British labor.” It is at the top of the great building that the most of the matches are made. The mpm covers more than an acre and there are sixteen machines in it, which take the blocks of cork pine from the United States or Canada and cut them into matches. They dip the end of each match in parafiin, coat it with the sulphur and phosphorus which makes the fire and then dry it. The ma- chine is automatic and it packs the matches into boxes and delivers them on ths round revolving tables, where girls sit and put the covers on. In the whole process the girls' hands are not in contact with the matches until they are dry, and th:y are, | therefore, in no danger from the contact. It is wonderful how fast the machines go and what an encrmous amcunt of werk they do. Each machine cuts forty-eight matches at a stroke, and the larger ones make 230 strokes a minute. As the matches are cut they are automatically stuck in a flexible castiron band, from which they project llke bristles. This band travels over wheel after wheel, dipping the matches and carrying them by ventilating machines until they are dry and ready to pack. The machines are absolutely re- liable; they will not handle broken matches and the dust and the breakages drop out and are carried down into the furnaces un- PLEASURE CRAFT ON THE RIVER AT OMAHA-—-UNION EXCURSION NG DAILY TRIPS, AFTERNOON AND FROM FOOT OF DOUGLAS STREET TO SHERMAN PARK. der the bollers. It takes about hands to work one of these machines and each machine will turn out more than 4,000,000 matches in ten hours. Making Wax Tapers, Leaving this department, I went into the rooms where wax tapers and paper matches are manufactured. The paper lights are made of cardboard, being put into a ma- chine which prints an advertisement on each match and cuts it to the proper length. Other machines dip the matches and dry them. They also put on the safety heads and arrange them in boxes. Wax matches have a basis of fine cotton. The start is with the thread, which is twisted and drawn through a bath of heated parafin wax, and then through a die con- taining a number of holes. When the par- affin ccat has been put on the threads look like white wires of about the thickness of a match., They are wound on big drums and the rest of the process is much like the making of the wooden n:atches above de- scribed. In other rooms the boxes are made by box-making machinery, being turned out by the millions a day. The boxes are of all shapes and sizes. The greatest number are of pasteboard and paper, many of brass and tin, and not & few of wood. Some of the strawboard box machines will turn out seventy boxes a minute, The total output of the factory runs into hundreds of millions of matches a day, and it is enough to keep these 48,000,000 people in lights and to furnish an enormous prod- uct for export to the continent, the colonies and other parts of the world. The company is, I am told, paying good dividends, and its business is steadily increasing. FRANK G. CARPENTER. ool Lien Coffee is all coffee—never glased. The sealed package keeps it fresh and pure.
