It was the Americans fault, BOYD PARK BLDG MM MAIN STREET but first In the instance, probably, they cctuiuitted the offense unwittingly and made amends when they could. The trouble was that in making amends they patched up the German pride while wounding that of the French still more sorely. The Germans were Invited to taker a hand in the celebration of the centeo-nia- l of tbe surrender of Cornwallis because of the part Baron Steuben bore in the struggle of the Americans for tbeir liberties. There were no Germans, so far as Is known, at the battle of Yorktown, where tlie Frentb bore a heroic part In the fight; nevertheless, at the instance of Horatio Seymour of New Yrk, the German nation was given a principal share In the commemoration exercises in tbe.

LEADER and George White, Who Is the Democratic Chief, Have More Responsibility Than the Chairmen Had in Former Years. He BOYD PARK 3. , . By EDWARD B. CLARK. The members of the Washington. Republican national committee have met In Washington and have elected a hew leader, who formerly was the vice chairman of the committee, John T, Adams of Iowa. Several of the members of the Democratic, national committee were In Washington during the meeting of the rivai brotherhood. The Democrats liave for tlieir committee a near new leader' in George White, who has been in office less than a year. The first prize to be won is that of the congressional elections one year The two sets from next November. of contestants promise to press forward in the race. In one way things favor the Democratic entrants, because they can lose and yet win. No politician or any party here believes that h the Republican majority in the congress will be as big as the Republican majority in the congress, now doing business at the old stand on Capitol hill. John T. Adams probably has no Illie kuows well lusions or delusions, enough that if there l'i a decreased Republican majority as. a result of die elections seventeen months hence, the Col.

The government has never taken a in census of button-hole- s the United States, but federal enumerators in the last census discovered that the value of all buttons produced in this country In a single year Is more- than This represents several billions of buttons. The fresh-watmussel, the lowly clam of the old swimming hole, Is the largest single source of buttons In this country. Something like 75,000 tons of clam Bhells are used annually In the manufacture of more than 50,000,000 gross of pearl buttons which, at present prices, are valued at more than $15,000,000. In addition to buttons, the mussel shells are also used In the manufacture of novelties, jewelry, chicken feed, road materials and composition marble. Several years ago the bureau of fisheries discovered that the great clam beds which are the source of the best buttons were being rapidly exhausted. Investigation showed that nature In her propagation and growth of pearl button material wit wasteful. It was also found that natural propagation of mussels could be Improved and controlled artificially and means were taken to restock the dam beds. In this scheme fish are a jmoeeefiiT adjunct." clams have Just When fresh-watstarted their development they must become parasitic upon fish If they are to reach maturity. Almost as soon as they are hatched the baby clams attach themselves to the gills of fish. Here they cling for the next week or two. When they have developed to shift for themselves, they detach themselves and drop to the bed of the river. If undisturbed there, they become full grown at the end of " five years. The trouble with this natural process of development Is that the great majority of tiny clams do not find fish to which they may attach themselves, and they die In their infancy. Experts of the bureau of fishery then conceived the Idea of artificially Infecting the fish with the parasites, and Immediately the problem was solved. Under this artificial treatment a fish can carry a thousand or more embryo mussels In Its gills, whereas .under natural conditions it may become hdst to . only a dozen or so. mussel-yieldin- g The principal streams are found In the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama, the Mississippi river producing the largest number of shells. The mussel fishery Is a permanent and important industry, and in scarcely any locality where a shell fishery was once established has It ever been entirely abandoned. The extent of the fishery In any locality may vary from year to year, however, as it Is subject to a variety of influences, such as the demand for shells of certain qualities, the stages of the river, the condition of the local Industry, and the degree of exhaustion of the material. The method of mussel fishery most generally In use today is with the bar and crowfoot hooks. The in 0. er suffl-cient- ly . i method Is based on the characteristic habits of the fresh-wate- r mussels, which He habitually half Imbedded in the bottom of a stream, with the hinder end of the shell directed against the current and slightly gaping. If a Stick or book be Inserted Into the opening of the shell, the mussel at once closes tightly and will hold for a long time, even while being dragged, over the bottom and hauled up to the bo&t. The more elaborate apparatus now used was first brought to the notice of the river men of the upper Mississippi in 1897. The crowfoot apparatus consists essentially of a bar to which many d short lines, bearing wire books, are arranged at Intervals. By means of a towing line the bar Is dragged above the bottom, while the hooks trail on the mussel bed with the current. When a hook enters a shell opening, the mussel closes upon the hook, and In consequence I dragged from the bottom. When ttye bar Is raised after a suitable time, numerous mussels may be hanging from the hooks. It is usual to equip barges with a number of these bars so that the bed of a stream may be dragged thoroughly. The most satisfactory boat has been found to be the ordinary John boat. Its length is from 14 to 20 feet, with a width at the center of from 3 to 5 feet, but It always has narrower ends, and is usually of light draft. For work on a much larger scale, heavy barges, approximately 10 by 40 feet, four-pronge- are used. After the mussels are brought ashore the soft parts must be removed. Where pearling Is the exclusive object, each mussel may be opened with a knife Inserted between the valves of the shells, so ns to sever the adductor muscles; the meat Is then cut out and examined for pearls. Such a process, however, Is entirely too slow and tedious for preparing shells for market, so the cooking-ou- t process is exclusively employed In the shell fishery. The mussels are cooked In a vat 5 feet long by . 2 feet .wide and from 12 to 18 inches deep. This usually takes about a half hour. After reaching the button factory the shells are first soaked in tanks or vats for a week or more. The soaking process is Intended to softeD the material, which would otherwise be too bard on the saws, as well as so brittle as to chip and yield blanks with rough edges. The machine used in cutting is essentially a lathe fitted with a tubular saw of the necessary diameter to obtain the required size of button, and a wooden plug and a ratchet handle or lever for gradually forcing the rough shell against the rapidly rotating saw. The shell Is held In position either by prongs or by the hand protected with a mitten. Successive blanks as they are cut are crowded through the tubular saw to fall Into a receptacle below. The sizes of the buttons are determined by the Inner diameter of the and draw the knife along the brass Do not attempt to cut through edge. the cardboard the first time, hui mereCardboard Is used for so many pur- ly score It deeply.

In novelty works buttons an inch and a half or larger are made. Before going to the finishing machines the blanks are usually passed through four intermediate processes. First they are passed through a blank classifier, where, by falling between rollers they are separated into different lots according to thickness. Next they are placed in tumblers, consisting of heavy and slowly revolving barrels of iron or wood, in which they are churned with water and pumice stone to clean them and remove any possible rough edges. The blanks are then ready for the grinder, a machine fit' ted with an emery wheel which grinds away the horny backs and reduces the blanks to a uniform thickness. Final ly the blanks are again soaked in wa ter to be softened for the finishing machine. They are then ready for the essential processes of button making, which are accomplished by an automatic machine of comparatively recent Invention and of very Ingenious design, The blanks are fed by hand into depressions In the tops of vertical chucks, which are arranged in series constitut Ing an endless chain. As the chucks in the endless chain pass around the circumference of the machine each blank Is automatically operated upon by various tools, and each tool Is an tomatlcally sharpened and prepared for the succeeding blank. The processes accomplished In the machine consist In rounding the edges and carving out the center In the desired pattern. After the first hole the drill rises, the button makes a turn through a fourth or half of one revolution ( according to or whether It is to be a four-hol- e when the tfrill again to make a new hole.' After the last hole Is drilled the chuck opens automatically to release the button, which Is sucked Into a tube connected with the blower system to be dropped Into a bucket through a counting tube From the cutting machine the buttons are taken to the churns, where they are tumbled, or churned, with wa ter and pumice stone to clean them, take off the rough edges, and make them ready for receiving the final polish. The polishing Is also a tumbling process, in which, however, sulphuric add Is used in conjunction with steam. After the buttons are dried In shakers with sawdust, they are placed wlt dry sawdust and wnshing powder in, a combined tumbler and shaker. This process removes any trace of limy de posit and gives the final luster. Finally the buttons are conveyed in buckets or boxes to the sorting room where they are sorted according to qualities and grades and sewed to suitable cards for packing In boxes, ready to be sold. one-thir- .
