THE MOUPllINK I1AU1T.
An Interview With n Conllrnicil
User or tlio
Reclining on a bench in ono of the city
jail cells Saturday was a man appar
ently about live and thirty years old ,
whoso general appearance was that of n
"sport. " Ho was Harry Dully , and ho
was arrested , as mentioned in the Bnc
yesterday , on a charge of being a sus
picious character. A reporter , who was
informed that the man was a confirmed
morphine liond whoso daily use of the
drug had reached almost the furthest possible -
siblo limit , questioned him about the cir
cumstances of his falling into tlio habit.
"I foil oft" a horse during one racing
season , " ho replied , answering the re
porter's first query , "and was so badly in
jured that the doctors had to give mo
morphine to quiet the pain. After I got
well I found it i in possible to discontinue.
the use of the drug , nnd.hcro I ama slavfc
to morphine. Why , I can't pass a day or
night without using it unless I am will
ing to sutler the tortures of the
damned. I must have it. How
do I use ? Generally by injecting
itumlcr the skin. I have got in my va
lise a set of instruments for that pur
pose. Thu main instrument is nbiunll
hypodermic syringe , the tube of which is
Illicit with liquid morphine. The end or
uoz/.lo is very line , like a ncotllq almost ,
nml is shoved right under the skin. The
iluid is then Injected into the blood , and
the operation is over. One of these small
boxes containing a morphine outlit costs
about six dollars that is where the tools
nro of the best make. The morphine I
use costs mo from $2 to ! f3 a week. No ,
I rarely or never use the powder mor
phino. It docsn'.t make mo feel any bet
ter than the liquid , and its cll'ects are not
eo rapidly destructive. Of course , it's
only n matter of time before the habit
will kill , but I prefer the lingering
death.
"Docs morphino'causo the same cest.itic
feelings in thu brain as are caused by
opium-smoking ? "
"No , some people claim so , but that is
nil ridiculous. Tlio point is linro : Ono
becomes addicted to the habit through
having to use morphine in sickness. Alter
hit got a well he finds that unless ho keeps
up the use of the drug ho sull'ers physi
cal tortures which worn never bot'oro
known to him. So ho falls into the habit
of using morphine regularly. Now , if
ho leaves oil'using it for
half a day the old feeling
returns upon him in a form ot pain whieii
is so agoni/lng that it can't bu described.
IIo hllti his blood with morphine and ho
feels natural again. In two or thren
hours moro or less the cllects of the dose
wear oil' , ami ho has to resort' to another
injection to drive oil' thu feelings whirh
begin to oppress htm. So that all mor-
phlnu can do is to bring a man into a per
fectly natural condition , so that he will
bo rid of his torture without experiencing
anv particular fueling of ecstasy , such as
the opium liend is hiipposcd to enjoy. "
"How many times a day does a mor-
vlilno Itcml have to inject the liquid ? "
" 1 use it seven or eight times a day myself -
self , which is about the limit. Still tliuro
nro som persons who nsti it oven moro
frequently 12 or Ifi times in the course of
thu day. Perioiibthusaddieted , however ,
lire generally in thuJiist stagus. "
"Tho habjt is Mire taking

"Tlio morphine user in the last btagos
of the habit , loses his memory , in the de
cay ol his oilier Intellectual powers , the
system collap eb completely , and death
1 ensues. "
"Is iho habit spreading ? " asked thu ro-
porlcr ,

morphine. The habit is almost ns wide

upper strata.1
A Young Girl tiurcd to Her lluln by
Vile Procuress.
Louisa Mercer , a fresh , pretty , inno
cent appearing girl , came into the court
of Justice Anderson Saturday and ,
with tears in her eyes , told a story 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 ono day a woman giving
her name as Mrs. 1'rcnchy. who offered to
take her to Omaha to tcacli her the art of
dressmaking. The girl , unaware that
she was in the hands of a procuress ,
willingly accompanied her supposed
benefactor to this city. Mrs. Freiichy
proved to bo the proprietress of a notor
ious hou o if prostitution on Twelfth
street , in her dcii the ruin of tlio young
girl was accomplished. Louisa remained
at the place n week or ten
days , when making her es
cape Saturday from the den of
infamy , she came to Justice Anderson's
olllco and reported that the pro
prietress of the place would not allow
licr to take her trunk away , on thoground
that she ( Louisa ) owed her some money.
Constable ItuMiii has been detailed to in
vestigate the matter , ami it is expected
that some startling disclosures will fol
low. The girl says that she wants to re
form , and will return to her homo in the
Uluffs , or seek work in this city.
IB Comicllnmii rtccliol a Drone ?
To TIII : Enrron : Some days ago Mr.
G. M. Hitchcock's paper launched a tirade -
rado against Councilman IScchnl. Ho
was pronounced a cipher , accused of hav
ing done absolutely nothing for ills
ward during the incumbency of the of
fice for the past two years , charged witli
having made the most specious promises
when a candidate for election , not ono of
which ho has fulfilled.
It seems the labor of supererogation to
enumerate oven the more salient things
that have been done in and for the Fourth
ward within the past two years , and
which were largely the result of his per
sonal efforts. I would ask permission to
enumerate a few of them :
Grading of Farnam street from Six
teenth to city limits.
Grading of Twentieth street from Da-
von port street to Piereostreet , mainly in
Fourth ward , and passing in front of Mr.
Hitchcock's property.
Grading of Ilarnoy street ( and widen
ing it from Nineteenth street to Twenti
eth ) from Fifteenth street to west line of
McCormiek's addition , embracing also
Sixteenth street from Farnam street to
Howard street ; Seventeenth street from
Farnam street to Howard street ; Eight
eenth street from Farnam street to St.
Mary's avenue ; Nineteenth street from
Farnam street to St. Mary's avenue ; all
under contract and work in progress.
Grading of Davenport street from Six
teenth street to Twenty-second street ,
now being advertised.
Grading and opening on Douglas
street from Twentieth-street to Jefferson
street , Mr. Hitchcock's property lying on
either side.
Paving , curbing ami guttering Farnam
street from Fifteenth street to Twentieth
street.
Puviiigcurbing and guttering Sixteenth
street from Furntun street to Douglas
btreot.
Paving , curbing and guttering Howard
street and St. Mary's avenue Irom Fif
teenth street to Phil Sheridan street , 50-
000 feet , one-half in Fourth ward.
Paving , curbing and guttering Farnam
street from Twentieth street to Thirtieth
street , Sixteenth street from Farnam
btreet to Howard street , and Twenty-
sixth street from Farnam street to Doug
las hti'eet , now under contract.
Opening of Jefferson street from Far
nam street to St. Mary's avenue.
Opening of Farnam street to Twenty-
fifth street.
Sewers in district No. 13 , $29,000 , moro
than one-half in Fourth ward.
Sewers in district No. 19.
Sewers in district No. 20.
Davenport street curbed and guttered.
These improvements aggregate fully a
quarter of a million.
The location , by ordinance , of tlio city
hall in the Fourth ward , which was violently
lently opposed by Mr. Hitchcock , yet ho
privately importuned the mayor not to
veto it , as it would bo detrimental to his
private interests ,
The location of the board of irauo
building in the Fourth ward , in which
Air. Heehel was especially active.
Following all this came gas , water ,
sidewalks and crosswalks. Nor has Mr.
Uechel been loss active in the general
legislation looking to the welfare and
prosperity ot the city. His efforts in
furtherance ) of viaducts wore certainly
appreciated by some ot his members.
Will ho ho loss active , faithful and
zealous in the future ? The past Is a suf
ficient answer. The citizens of tlin Fourth
ward can ( rest assured that with or
without promise , their interests will bo
honestly and jealously subserved.
That the public may know the animus
of Mr. Hitchcock's abuse and disparage
ment of Mr. Heehnl , it is only necessary
to recall the former's defeat by the latter
in caucus two yoard ago. for the nomina
tion of alderman. Ol Hitchcock I will
onyl hay , ho
"Still must lhlit. retinal , attack , defend ,
. \iiiloll toMiatch nl.uuol , lose a tileud.
The pity ol It , anil the chancing tnste
Of eh.iuglnq ; time , leaves Ir.ilf his weik a
waste. "
HisRliicf characteristic is a highly de
veloped egotism ; his chief aim the gratifi
cation of hi& ambition to bo esteemed a
potential element in the community ,
which is just what he is not. His chronic
disposition is to invent scenes in which ho
can play a part likely to elicit the appro
bation of the public , while he simply earns
its ridicule.

"Tho uneasy feeling which is being
caused by the strike all over the country , "
said a prominent architect to a reporter
for the HIK : , "Ims struck Omaha in full
force , and is causing a loss of thousand
of dollars to our profession and to the
city. Take my own case for instance.
Tlirco weeks ago I had orders for two
largo business blocks , and several smaller
buildings , dwellings , etc , amounting in
all to about $ ir > 0,000 , and every siugle
order has been countermanded within
the past few days , I suppose other archi
tects are suffering tlio same way. The
danger to the city , in tlio matter of ro-
tardT-d growth , will be almost incalcula
ble , unless this unsettled .state of all'airs
comes to an cud. and that yory soon.
Auothci thing which has made capi
talists reluctant to invest money in
Omaha building schemes , " concluded the
architect , after miiaing a few moments ,
"is thu fact that the coat of building is so
much greater this year than it was last ,
The masons and carpenters have do-
' mandi'.d a d.ay of nine hours' work , a&k-
'ing at thosamutimu that their wages remain -
main just thu samu. Take tKu mas-.ons ,
foi' instanVo. They make $1.60 u day for
ten hours' .wort , or 45 cents
.in hour. Now they want to work nine
hours n day , and at tlio same time got
the extra forty-five cents for the hour's
work which they do npt do. The consequence
quence is that the cost of building is pro
portionately increased , and n building
which co't say $5,000 last j'car , will cost
$0,000 this season. The masons and car
penters say that they want to sacrifice
the extra hour so ns to give employment
to the largo number ot men now out of
work. That is all very well , but why
don't they sacrifice the extra pay ? So
far as I can see , they have no moro right
to nsk ten hours' pay for nine hours work
than I have to ask them to do ten hours
work for niuo 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
liouso who lives about ten miles from the
city. James Attwood , of the livery firm
of Attwood & Fox , drove out after the
young lady witli a buggy and double
team , and started on the return trip.
They had only accomplished about live
miles of their journey , however , when tlio
buggy suddenly sank iu n mud hole , from
which it could not bo extricated. The
situation was rather nn unpleasant one ,
but Mr. Attwood took his companion to a
ncighboringfarm house for the night , and
mounting ono of the horses rode to Oma
ha for another vehicle. The next morn
ing ho returned for the young lady , und
again they started on their journey.
About two miles had been driven when a
second accident overtook them , the
nuggy breaking so badly that it was im
possible to proceed. Tlio plucky school
tcachnr , however , refused to let Mr. Alt-
wood como to Omaha a second time
alone , and accordingly mounted ono of
thn liorses'and rode to town. In spite of
the absence of a side-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 si magnificent
bare-back rider.
TAKING UP TUB WORK.
The Itov. air. Hitler at the First Moth-
oillflt Church.
The First M. E. church on Davonuort
street was thronged last evening on the
occasion of the opening of n series of re
vival meetings by the evangelist , Rev. II.
N. Hitler. This gentleman has had much
success throughout the state , and notably
at Lincoln , where ho just closed a scries
of powerful revival meetings.
After singing , the service was opened
with an earnest prayer by the pastor ,
llev. McKaig. Several songs by the choir
and congregation followed , during which
a largo number of late arrivals pushed
in , until the back part of the house was
almost completely filled by those stand
ing up and looking for scats.
"I suggest , " said the pastor , "that the
Christian people como forward and
occupy these vacant rows in the front so
that our friends back there may find
scats. "
"Perhaps , brother , " suggested Mr.
Hitler , "it would bo best to save these
scats for tlio sinners. "
The pastor graciously accepted the
amendment , and scats wore found in
various parts of the house for nearly all
who came hi.
Mr. Hitler's remarks were earnest and
to the point. IIo took his text from the
ltth ! chapter of Mark beginning with
the 84th yerse , "But of that day and that
hour knowcth no man. * * * I say
unto you what I say unto all , 'watch.1' '
Ho began by impressing upon his hearers
the necessity of being on the watch for
the coming of the Lord , of which advent ,
as the gospel says. 110 man knowcth the
hour. 1'ho Christian life affords the only
safeguard against being taken unawares
by the coming of the Lord Jesus. People
may say what they please , but the
Christian life can alone secure perfect joy.
The infidel may laugh and say there is
no God , but in his heart he feels differently
and trembles under the consciousness of
a higher power.
Continuing , the speaker dwelt particu
larly upon the fact that God had given ,
to all those who yield themselves to him ,
some work to perform. Perhaps it
might bo a humble work , but still there
was something for all to do. To each
one , whether ho posscscd the ten talents
or but the one , God has allotted a
peculiar task , not too much nor too little ,
but just enough. So we must all fulfill
the tasks which have been marked out
for us. If that task bo the redemption of
souls in this city , God heln us to nerve
ourselves to the work. It is not a ques
tion of having many talents , but of being
loyal to God in using what wo have to
His glory , that determines fauccess in our
great work.
Mr. IMtlo brrought this out very forcibly
by using the Illustration of a railroad.
"In the operation of a great railway , " ho
said , "there are many posts to fill there
must bo general mana < n > r , superinten
dent , the condurtois , urakcmcn nnd
switchmen , etc. The bwilchman requires
not a great amount 01 brains or brilliancy
to perlorm his work , but nevertheless his
part is just as important as that of any of
liis superiors , if lie neglects his duty ho
can ditch the trains , no matter how well
tlio engineer or conductors may do their
parts. I know not whether ono
of yon hero can ditch the gospel
train b.y refusing to perform the
work which hasoeen allotted to you , but
1 do know that I have &eon men so back
ward and fussy , though occupying minor
po.iitions , that their actions seriously re
tarded the great work. "
The speaker closed with an earnest ap
peal to parents to help in tlio work and
to set a good example to their children ,
who drew their inspirations and aspira
tions from them as a source.
Quito a number arose for prayer at the
oloso of the meeting , and much feeling
was manifested.

Hurglars tried to break into tlio office

COME TO THKiFOLn.
An Appeal To the OinnliA. Carpenters
to Join the Unfhn.
To the Editor : The nctibn of the car
penters and joiners of Omaha , nt a public
meeting Tuesday evening March 28 , in
resolving to adopt nlno'honrs ns a day's
work and eight hours for Saturday , fifty-
thrco hours for a wcok , wages by the
hour , was an importantslop taken in the
right direction and In keeping with the
other building trades of our town. Our
craft is between six and sovcn hundred
strong in Omaha , but ; for the waut of
thorough organization wo have not at
tained to that point in our craft equal to
that of our associate neighbor builders in
tlioir craft , viz : the brick masons , plas
terers , stone masons and granite cutlers.
They have succeeded in perfecting or
ganizations adapted to their special
crafts , and secured fair compensation for
their labor as the result of organiza
tion. They say it pays them to maintain
an organization. Hoforo they Avcro or
ganized they were at the mercy and com
petition of every Tom , Dick and Harry ,
met tlioir employers at a disadvantage ,
who dictated what the jiricoof their labor
should bo and the number of hours for a
day's work , whieh was a much lower
wage and longer hourrf.
Wo see that our neighbors are getting
bolter wages than wo are ns carpenters.
Even hod-carriers are getting bettor pay
in some cities by reason of organization
than hundreds of caipcnters are getting
to-day in Omaha. Why is this ? Is our
labor less necessary , and theirs moro im
portant ? Or is it not because they unite
and ask for it , while carpenters remain
divided and take meekly whatever is
offered ? That this is so is our own fault.
Look at our condition as carpenters and
joiners , If you will.Vo \ cannot got away
from it any moro than Prometheus could
get away irom Mount Cuueasins , where
no was ordered to bo chained , and for
D0,000 years a vukuro was to feed upon
h's liver , wldoh was never to diminish.
Our trade demands that we bo exposed
to the heat of summer and the frosts of
winter , and to danger of lifo and
limb. Many an idle day is forced
upon us through bad weather
and short jobs. The 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
lor all tliis what is our pay ? Are wo
properly recompensed for our skill and
toil , for the long , weary years wo have
spent to learn our trade ? Are wo willing
the carpenters and joiners of Omaha ,
situated so far north that we cannot
count on moro than eight months of
steady work in the year by reason of the
extreme cold latitude that congeals our
craft or business , to remain indilferont to
our oraft , and permit it to sink lower and
lower , when at the same time wo 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 n thrifty
condition a branch of tlio International
Brotherhood of Carpenters i and Joiners
of America , with headquarters at Cleve
land , Ohio. It has for its object "to
rescue tlio trade from > the low Jevel to
which it has fallen , and'by mutual effort
to raise ourselves to that position in
society to which we are justly entitled ; to
cultivate a feeling ot friendship among
the craft , and lo elevate the moral , intel
lectual , and social condition of all jour
neymen carpenters. It is furthermore
our object to assist each other to secure
employment , to furnish aid in cases of
death or permanent disability , and for
mutual relief and other benevolent pur
poses. " For this purpose the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America was founded. It was formed
in a convention of carpenters
unions , held in Chicago , 11L , August 12 ,
1881. Since then the orotherhood has
grown so as to form a solid chain of
unions from Nova Scotia to San Fran
cisco , and from Canada to Texas , under
ono head , numbering thousands of mem
bers , and constantly growing in strength
and power as an organization. The gen
eral international benefits are : $250 death
benefit , $250 disability benefit , ? 50 in
case of wife's death. Wo have a weekly
local benefit in cases of sickness or disa
bility , of $1 per week. Wo 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.
