One of the most energetic and thor

America is the Cigarmakers' lnterna-
tional union. In all movements for the
turtherance of the industrial welfare
of the people the members of this ster-
ling organization throughout the coun-
try are ever in the lead, notwithstand-
sng the fact that there is no branch of
production in which SO many discour-
aging conditions have to be met and
tounteracted. Prison and child labor,
sweat shop and tenement house produc-
zion, Chinese labor in the far western
states, machine competition and a con-
slant warfare with unprincipled manu-
5actureTX and dealers who counterfeit
and infringe on the use of their trade
label, these are some of the daily and
aeyer-ending problems and contests
with which the international union and
its affiliated local organizations have to
contend. The admirable beneficiary
features of the union are a tower of
strength, and constitute one of the
greatest elements of its success. 1t

McJlures Magazine For June.

For a description of Marconi's wireless
telegraph that anybody can understand, and
account of its latest achievements that every
body will be interested in, readers may be
referred to the June number of MCCLURE s
MAGAZINE. The article is written with the
assistance of Mr.. Marconi himself, by Mr..
Cleveland Mofiett, who himself sent and re.
ceived messages by the wireless telegraph
across the English Channel, and it is fully
illustrated from photographs taken expressly
for the purpose.
Another interesting and valuable article in
this number of MCCLURE's is an account OF
negotiations between Admiral Dewey and
the Spanish commanders that led to the final
surrender of Manila practically without any
fighting between the land forces. 1t is written
by Oscar King Davis, Manila correspondent
Of the New York SUN, from the diary of M.
Edouard Andre the Belgium consul at Ma
Mia, through whom the negotiations were
conducted 1t is, therefore, authoritative;
and it is story that has never before been
fully told. 1t gives new illustration of the
rare tact and sagacity of the American
Admiral.
A Graphical account of the strange life Of
the miners who work mile out under the
sea off the coast of Cornwall; "reminiscences
and anecdotes of "Llncoln and the soldiers"
and dramatic description of "Paul Jones'
Greatest fight" by the Rev. C.. 7. Brady,
are other attractive features of the number,
with an excellent story by Kipling and other.

this great medicine for the Kidneys, Liver,
Bladder and Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia

PORATION, Rondout, N. ", providing
they mention THE COLUMBIAN when they

A very simple test to determine whether
your kidneys or bladder are diseased is to
put some of your urine in a glass tumbler
and let it stand "a hours if it has sedi-
ment or cloudy, ropy or stringy appearance,
If it is pale or discoored, you do not need a
physician to tell you that you are in a dam
gerous condition. Dr. DAVID Kcnnedy's Fa-
vorite Remedy speedily cures such serious
symptoms as a pain in the back, inability to
hold urine, burning, scaldng pain in pass
ing it. Frequent desire 10 urinate especially
at night, the staining of linen by your urine
and all unpleasant and dangerous effects pro.
duced on the system by the use of whiskey
and beer.
BY searching investigation it was found
that over 9I per cent of the people who sent
for a sample bottle were so much benefited
by its use that they purchased large sized
bottle of their druggist, which in most cases
| cured them, while in some rare instances il
took as many as two or even three bottles tc
effect permanent cure.
DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is
sold by all druggists at $I.oo per large bot

and feel that Chaplain Steward could
give more adequate account OF negro
valor in the army than anyone else.
Chaplain Steward is native of
Bridgeton, n. j., and traces his descent
on his mothers side from John Fen
wick, one of the lords proprietors, who
settled at Salem, to which he gave its
name, in 1865. The chaplain was edu-
catad at a divinity school in Philadel-
phia. Besides being good Greek, Lat
In and Hebrew scholar, he also speaks
German and French fluently, and was
at one time stationed over church In
Port-au-Prince, Hayti, where he
preached in French. "A Charleston
Love Story" work of fiction from his
pen, is now in press. Two OF his sons
are Harvard men, one being a lieuten-
ant in one of the volunteer regiments;
another is in the University OF Michi-
gan, from which he will be graduated in
medicine this spring.

benefits paid amounted to over $4,-
GDQ,000.
The strongest and most interesting
features of the union are its system OF
high dues, it's protective benefits, the
nnion "blue Label" and the initiative
and referendum method of elections,
voting and legislation. The beneficiary
features have a cohesive tendency that
serves to hold the membership intact
during periods of industrial and COM
mercial stagnation, and the famous
-hlue label" is given gratis to all manu-
iacturers who pay the union scale of
prices and conform to its general reg
,ulations.
The most notable achievements of
she international union was the sue
eessful Inauguration of the eight-hour
day on May /, 1856, and the increasing
af wages from ten to fifty per cent.
wherever its organization extends.
George w. Perkins, of Chicago. one
pt the most prominent figures in the
American trades union movement, is
president of the international union.
He was born at Williamsburg, N. Y,
and has been an ardent advocate of the
principles of trades unionism almost
from his boyhood. He filed acceptably
all the local offices of the craft at AL
hany, N. Y, and for six years was pres
iaent of the Albany Central Labor
council. He was elected second vice
president of the international union in
1854, first vice president in 1885 and
chosen national president in 1901, and
is now serving his third term at the
head of the organization. He is pleas

on to the ordinary train when neces-
sary. In this way it has travelled over
nearly every railway in the United
States from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Mrs. Dudley is pleasant, busy wom-
an, fully engrossed in her husbands
work and her car home. She has many
accomplishments, and time always
passes very pleasantly with her. She
is very fond of astronomy and has also
devoted much time to drawing, while
she also sketches and paints in water
colors, and some of the pictures which
adorn the walls of the carriage are from
her own brush.
Mr.. Dudley is the inventor of many
devices for measuring and recording
the undulations of railway rails, the
departures from uniform gauge, the
strength and uniformity of cross ties,
the evenness of joints, the stress on
rails of moving loads, ETC.. which is all
done and accurately tabulated on his
wonderful machines. He is attached to
no particular company, and every large
railway company in America engages
him to inspect it's railway beds and
compile his automatic records.
