IN FALL RIVER, THE SPINDLE CITY.

THE CITY THE CENTRE OF THE COTTON

MA2OJFACTUIIIXG INDUSTRIESOP THE WORLD.

Cotton Is king in Fall River. Mass.. as well

M in the South. Without cotton this enter-

rlslnP city of over a hundred thousand souls

would be only a 6le«py old village hardly ever

mentioned In the newspapers. Cotton made it

•hat It Is. and cotton, more than all else Itcontains, keeps Itbefore the world, for ItIs the

rreat*ft cotton manufacturing: city on the globe.

Inaddition. ItIs the centre of the cotton manu-

facturing industry of New-England. Provi-

dence R- L, another important manufacturing

city.Ib only eighteen miles away to the north-

westward; Taunton, Mass., is seventeen miles

north. New-Bedford, Mass.. is fourteen miles

east, and Newport. R. 1., is eighteen miles

¦outh. The original name of the place was

Freetown, and It waß Incorporated In 1803, but

¦non afterward the name was changed to Troy,

end so it remained until 1534, when the pres-

ent name was adopted. Itwas Incorporated as

a city In M*H. but not until 1862 was the

boundary between Massachusetts and Rhode

Island finally settled In such a way that the

whole of the city wxs in one State. Previously

the boundary cut off nearly two miles of thepresent city at the south end. and the part be-

low the Hr.c was a separate municipality known

t»y the same name.

Cotton manufacturing was begun in a small

•pay in 1sl >* on tn* banks of the river from

trtJlch the city derived its name. The stream

Is a remarkable water power, since It has its

gonrce in a chain of spring fed ponds, with a

combined area of only 3.500 acres, and a water-

tied of about 20.000 acres, yet itnever has failed

and never has it been swollen by freshets to the

point ofInconvenience. In1888 the available millgltes along thai stream had all been taken, andnew enterprises were established along the

Laurel and Taunton rivers, and on the margins

of ponds below the city, where steam was sub-

stituted for water as a motive power. The his-

tory of the industry Is in a measure a family

tCair. Even in an early lay the owner of one

mill was generally interested in one or more

of tbe others, and the ownership of the eighty-

seven mills of to-day is so intricately interwoven

with that at many others that an outsider be-

comesM hopelessly lost Inendeavoring to trace

th*? extent of a given influence as he would inendeavoring to trace a Smith in a community

of Smiths.There is one noteworthy exception, The Iron

Works Mills and their kindred industry, the

American Print Works, an- the property " ;

M. C. D. Bordtn. who is proud of the fHet that :

be Is free from all alliances and entanglements ;thct would hamper him in conducting his bael-ness according to his own ideas. N twtthai i

In? this fact. Fall River has oth^r Uordens in ,the cotton manufacturing; liusint-ss, and some j

of them are near relatives of the great inde-pendent mill owner.

THIS YEAR A RECORD BREAKER AT THEPOPULAR WATERING PLACE--COT-

TAGE COLONY GROWING.Saratoga Springs. X. V.. Aug. 24 (Special).—Th»

hotels and boarding houses are providing Tor arecord breaking number of August visitors, andstill all Incoming trains are loaded beyond theircapacity. The season is at Its height for the armyof people here in gay Saratoga. This is the liveli-est and most prosperous summer this town hasever enjoyed, and the season will extend up toOctober, and possibly longer. The Impression pre-vails that this resort has entered on a new era ofprosperity, and that hereafter the seasons willbe-gin earlier and be protracted" later than before.The Increase in the number of cottage colonists,

or "summer Saratogians." as they are called, andthe prospect of many more cottages being erectedhere Inthe near future indicate that Saratoga willcontinue to bear the distinction ofbeing "the great-est watering- place in America."

The reorganized Saratoga Racing Association,with President William C. Whitney in charge, hasmaterially assisted in bringing about the presentimproved conditions. It is proposed by those di-rectly Interested in the management to make Sara-toga the greatest racing centre in the country.. andto this end they are busily engaged preparing plansInvolving many changes and Improvements to therunning park The recent purchase of nineteenacres will be added to Horse Haven, in order tomeet the demand.

Mr. Whitney is so well pleased with Saratoga,there is an Intimation that he may erect a hand-some cottage and become a summer Saratogian.

Incomparison with the large number of Demo-cratic leaders and politicians enjoying the season,there is a small amount of gossip afloat, and theso-called "piazza conferences" appear to have losttheir value. So far as Tammany is concerned, thecause of the reticence is due to the fact that Rich-ard Croker is stillat Wantage.

A group of Maryland politicians met here by ap-pointment, and are holdingbrief conferences on thaUnited States Hotel piazza. The delegation isheaded by ex-United States Senator Arthur PueGorman. The main object of the continuous con-ference is to discuss available candidates for theMaryland legislature.

Colonel Henry Wattterson, of "The LouisvilleCourier-Journal," is manipulating a boom for Mr.Whitney for the Presidential nomination.

The Saratoga Racing Association has granted tothe Saratoga Floral Association the free use of theUnion-aye. running park for the pyrotechnlcal dis-play which willconstitute the programme for onenight of th.- annual fete. The Floral Association,of which Spencer Trash la president, has substan-tiallycompleted the arrangements for the festivalto be held on September 2. 3. 4 and 5. The work oftrimming and dcci .rating Convention Hall for the-floral ball Is to begin at once. Citizens and cot-tagers are working energetically to make the event

a success.

The National Conference of Unitarian Churcheswill begin here on September 23, and remain Inses-sion *'->r four days, besides those named in theregular programme, a number of eminent personawill be heard on interesting subjects. ProfessorGiiMings, of Columbia. University, is to speak on•Socioli>K>"; Miss Jane Addamd, the head of HullHouse. Chicago, will discuss ¦•Settlement Methods";Profr-ssor C. Sprague Smith, of Columbia, will¦peak vn "The Church and the Unchurched." andFrank Moss, of New-York, will make aa addresson ••Trie Church's Interest in Good Government."

Fall River produces more than three-quarters

«f all the print cloths made Inthe CCdted States,

has one-eeventh of all the eplndles In the coun-try and about a fourth of those InNew-Eng-land, and more than twice as many w any othe-rcity in the country. Eta mills turn out morethan 1.500 miles of cotton cloth every workingday. It is estimated that $47,000,000 is in-vested In the Industry, although the incor-porated companies conducting 1 Itare capitalized

at only 523,501,0>3. The number of spindles Inthe mills Is 3,042,472, and the number of loomsla 75,678. Th*- number of men, women andbHhqj» employed exceeds 30,000, and the annualoutput is about 866,000,000 yards of cloth. Thaaggregate of the weekly payrolls of the millsIs $2ir»,?.."i0, an averag-e of a little over $7 eachfor employes of all ages and both aexes.

One peculiarity of the conduct of the indus-try impresses every stranger who visits FallRiver.. The president of a corporation in thecotton manufacturing business is a mere figure-head. The all important officer is the treasurer.If the same man be both treasurer and agent

bis Importance is ••.'¦ great. The agent is th«buyer and seller for the mill, and he literallyholds Its destinies In the hollow of his hand.He is not, as the term is generally understood,an outsider to whom certain duties are In-trusted, but he is the man of the corporationon whose financial acumen and absolute integ-rity the whole business depends for success.The treasurer Is the active manager of thebusiness, whether he Is also the agent or not.but the agent has full sway in the purchasesand sales.

The superintendent is the responsible head ofthe manufacturing: department. He is generallyone trained from boyhood In all the details ofcloth production, and must. Ifhe properly fillshis place, be a man of rare executive ability.Some superintendents are also the agents fortheir mills. One qualified for both places isapower in the trade and commands the largestBalarr for nig services. Such combinations areby no means rare. To be at once treasurer,agent and superintendent is the highest ambi-tion to which any man In a corporation mayaspire. Such combinations are rare, but notunknown. Any of the three places requiresan amount of close personal attention and hardwork of which the publiccan have no adequateconception. A combination of the three places¦sufficient to make a mental Hercules*e«aturely gray. Visitors cannot help being•B*r* by the Cl°Se application ami long¦»•» of those »ho direct the affairs of a cot-ton mm.

The cotton Is firstrun through a picker, which roughly loosens Itand removes the coarser dirt It may contain.This machine in called the opener. An Interme-diate machine continues the process, refining

and smoothing the mass, and the finisher suffi-ciently loosens It to permit it to go to the cards.In the carding room there are no less than ten

operations. The cotton is firs» fed into the card-ing machines, which loosen the mass and startthe fibre lying In one direction. The doubling

machine Improves the trend of the fibre and re-fines the mass. The ribbon machine draws outthe somewhat clumsy rolls that come from thedoubler and Increases the length of the roll, atthe same time reducing its diameter materially.The product of the ribbon machine is thencombed. By this process the short fibre, amount-ing to about a fifth of the weight, is extracted,and only.the lons flbr« is left In the thin roll,composed of several larger rolls drawn together,which Itdeposits nicely colled In a tall cylinder.Three drawing processes follow In succession, andwhen the original roll, no thicker than a finger,emerges from the last of these, ItIs considerablysmaller, looking something Ilk-* a fluffy cord.The next operation in (stubbing, which Is a comIdeation of drawing with the first twist the fibrereceives. Then are given the first intermediatetwist and the second Intermediate twist, afterwhich the coarse thread goes to the Jack frame,where ItIs twisted Btill more and drawn downconsiderably smaller. The Jack frame is alsoknown as a ring spinning machine, the twistbeing given by a ring instead of a spindle.

The thread is now ready for the final spinning,which reduces Its size, lengthens It and twists Ithard. This is accomplished with the mule spin-ning machine, which has hundreds of spindlesthat revolve at a high rate of speed, a carriagereceding and drawing out the yarn as it Is twist-ed, and then returning and winding the threadon a bobbin for the loom shuttle. There is athread for every bobbin In the sixty or more feetof width of the machine, and the bobbins are asclose together as they can be arranged withoutInterference. These shuttle bobbins are steamed,after which they are ready to supply filling tothe loom. The warp goes directly from the ringspinner to the spooler, which winds it on spools,from which Itcan be easily transferred to thebeam of a warping machine. The beams arecent to the slasher tenders, who size the warp,after which a girl threads Itinto the reeds of aloom and. thus harnessed, It Is ready to bewoven. The weaving, which Is the same Ingen-eral plan as on an ordinary hand loom, is per-formed automatically and rapidly on the im-proved machines, and ends the work of the mill.The cuts, as the rolls of cloth are called, arebleached, printed or otherwise treated In estab-lishments apart from the mills. The looms andspinning and carding machines In the highestclass mills are Imported from England.

The homes of the mill workers are as diverseas those of people Inother walks of life. The.more thrifty occupy neat detached cottages, nota few of which are owned by their tenants. An-other class prefers to live In three and fourfamily tenements, and still another, the foreignelement, seeks large buildings divided into twoor three room apartments of the cheapest kind,and lives no better than the East Side thousandsof New-York. The old Borden Block and theChase cottages, or tenements, are the onlygroups of buildings in Fall River erected espe-cially for mill tenants of the less thrifty classes.
