returned from the ST. Louis confer

is no power on earth which will pre-

is an ideal president and director, who
has not only the confidence Of the Peo-

TO the work of building up the State

chief lieutenant is L. M. Aver, one of

has been summoned to his aid. While

ABOUT MOTHER-OF-PEARL,

Millions of Shells Are Needed Annually for
the Manufacture of Buttons.
'They that go down to the sea in
ships to do business in great waters"
are more numerous that we land-lovels
imagine. If we pause for minute AMI
think of the countless pearl buttons
that are daily sold and utilized, all over
the world, we may then realize the
quantity of oyster shells required to
supply this demand.
The shells from which our pearl but
tons are obtained are quite large.
weighing about three-quarters of Il
pound apiece. They are shipped to us
from Australia. The accompanying
sketch illustrates the manner in which a
shell is usually diagrammed before it is
sent to the factory. The long narrow
strip at the top forms one of the mother
of-pearl pen holders now SO popular for
holiday gifts. The straight strips are
generally made into handles of pocket
knives, but the curved piece in the up
per right hand corner is saved, either to
fitted into the handle of large carving
knife or to adorn a pistol stock. The
large buttons are generally cut from
the center of the shell, while the small
er ones extend along the outer edge.
After the diagramming is finished,
the shell is sent to the factory to be cut,
filed, chiseled, grooved and polished,
and when this is finished the buttons
are carded and ready for market. The

Two Charges Against Mr.. German

or the reckless and unfounded al
legations with which the Baltimore
Sun attempts to justify its antagonism
OF the Democratic ticket in Maryland,
one-perhaps the most effective one of
all-has been definitely disposed of by
the Senator from Delaware. When
Hon. George Gray, the Presidents per-
sonal friend and his recognized spokes-
man In Congress, appeared at Baltimore
and addressed a great Democratic as
semblage, urging his hearers to stand
by the party and assuring them that
Mr.. Cleveland desired the success of
the party ticket, he effectually discred-
tied the Baltimore Suns persistent as
sertion that the Presinedt is anxious to
have Mr.. German rebuked even at the
cost of Democratic overthrow.
Now comes Ex-senator Butler, of
South Carolina, another tried and true
democrat, an honorable gentleman
whose word may be accepted by other
gentlemen without fear or reservation,
and bears witness to the mendacity of
two more of the charges with which
the Sun has sought to disparage Mr..
German with the Democrats of Mary
land. the Sun has charged that dur
ing the extra session Of Congress in
1893. that Mr.. German used all the re-
sources of his strength and energy to
defeat the repeal Of the Sherman act,

Even the scraps and clippings of the
mother-of-pearl are not wasted. A
large button factory recently received
an order for a quantity of small pieces of
pearl to form the mosaic of large altar
that was being made for one of our city
churches.
Tiny pearls are often found in these
shells, and are occasionally cut to pieces
by the machinery, but the real pearl
shells do not come from Australia, and
pearl large enough to be of any value
is rarely if ever found in the shells of u

The largest pearl in the world is in
the possession of the queen regent of

and it has charged that in the regular
session of 1894 and during the memo
rable tariff debate of that year, he de-
vised the expedient of the Democratic
caucus to the existence of which the
downfall of the Wilson bill is credited.
AS regards the first of these charges
Senator Butler, in his speech in Eas-
ton, Mary land, last Saturday, positive
ly asserted that, within his immediate
knowledge, Mr.. German had done
nothing to retard, but on the contrary,
everything to expedite the repeal. He
testifies that Mr.. German repeatedly
aud earnestly appealed to him to per-
NIT "a vote to be taken, and he adds,
that he with like persistency, had re-
fused TO do so. OF the events connect
ed with the tariff debate and the re-
sponsibility for the caucus to which
such dreadful consequences are ascrlb-
ed, Mr.. Butler said:
Il am responsible for that caucus.
suggeste d II to him as Chairman of
the Caucus Committee, because |
thought that we ought not to 90 into
the fight with divided forces. Mr..
German is charged with delaying the
bill. As ID matter of fact he was not
inclined to listen 10 my suggestion he
cause he feared it would provoke delay
1t was not until ten Senators had an
informal talk in my committee room,
and decided upon call to which we
secured twenty-three names, that he
would call the caucus. In the long
fight on the tariff bill, in which the
Republicans brought into use every
method of parliamentary delay, Mr..
German was active and earnest in
fastening its final passage"
Thus, one by one, the props upon
which the Baltimore Sun has built the
structure of its treachery are being
snatched from under it. Whom shall
we believe as to the Presidents attitude
and wishes IN connection with the
pending campaign in observation-disclosures
tor Gray or the Baltimore Sun? Whom
shall We believe as to the facts of the
Sherman act repeal and the tariff leg
islation of 1S94-Senator Butler or the
Baltimore Sun? 70 what source shall

tor Germans good faith and honorable

A Rousing Welcome to Senator
German.

Senator German was accorded one
of the most flatterng receptions ever
given him, at Centreville, Md,
on Wednesday last, when thousands
of Democrats assembled and cheered,
hurrahed and crowded around the
Senator, and the speaking which was
to have taken placein the Court House
was, perforce, carried out in the open
air. The crowd attempted to get in
the building, but the space would not
have accommodated halt the number.
Senator German made fine speech
and its effect was instantaneous. He
abjured every Dnmocrat to be true TO
his party and spoke of the issues in
volved. The greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed. and every indication points to
an increased Democratic majority in
that section. The tidal wave has
turned and will sweep back to crush
and rebuke malcontents and party
traitors.
