CIGARS AA<ERS
 GREAT SHOWING,

The Cigar Makers International Union is considered one of the most model or ganizations under the banner of the American Federation of Labor It not only requires and forces perfect discipline among its members. but has many pro- tective and benefit features that time has proven to be great aid to the craft. The current issue of the Cigar Maker Journal has review of the financial statement for the last year which shows some inter- esting figures.
 The aggregate financial transactions amounted to over one million dollars The largest single expenditure was for death benefit, which amounted to $l3S,- 4563S, and increase over the year 1900 of $40, 165.3S; the second largest was for sick benefit s134. 6l411 an increase of S17,15 .27 over 19OO The third largest Is for strike benefits, $105, 2l5.1, which is $32, GOT 52 less than was expended for like purpose in 1900; out of work benefits, $27, ,0S3 76 re- mains practically the same as last year, being only s. 1S6.76 more. The amount for strike benefits has never been exceeded except in two instances in the history of the International Union, the executions were during the Cincinnati strike in 1884 and the New York strike in 1900. The great bulk of the money for strike pur- l., pended for this purpose about $640OO sl3, OOO went to Dayton and about SSOO0 to Philadelphia, Pa. The balance, about $20.- OO0 was expended in other minor strikes through the country. In the last ten
 years up to 1900 the average yearly ex- penditure for strike purposes was about | NhOOO per year. It will be noticed by reference to the table of benefits that the total benefits for 19Ul show an in- crease of about $40,000 over 1900. and that in all S450 69 went to fight the battles relieve the distress of the members and their families and friends No one re- grets the expenditure of this vast sum nearly one-half million dollars-on ac- count of the mere loss of the amount. On the contrary. we are all proud of the fact and only hope that these amounts will double, and they will as we grow older and more powerful. Since the re- organization of the International Union. dating from 1879, we have expended all told in benefits the magnificent sum of $5'lSh5I3.2S, and feel that we have not lived in vain.
 Attention is called to the loan feature Of the organization, by the figures show ing that $50, 900 is out on loan among the members.

Department of LABOR
 ooSDUcrrD nr B w. BRUMLEY -,

The s-hour day is prevalent with many crafts and In many places, and the S-hour day demand in Birmingham developed nothing new. The men were as compact ly organized and as ready for the strug- gle as they would have been year hence. They have money in the treasury and enjoyed a good seasons work last year. There has not been general idle ness the past winter and the small num- ber of men out points to the justness of their demand. The buncombe about a graded scale is but an old subterfuge that has been resorted to so often that 1t Is hardly worth the answering. The graded scale has proven impracticable by human nature. Of course the employer could not grade the men as there had just as well be no union. Thee union could not grade the men because this could not be done satisfactorily to the men 1t would create dissension and turmoil. The solution has been by fix
 ing a minimum scale which Is supposed to be based on the average men, not the best or the worst In this way the mat ter adjusts itself A man may be a little above the average. Without an organiza- ton he would get $225 a day, but with the organization he gets $2.S0. Another man may be little below the average and without the organization he would BNl Dul Sc.oO d Qdy. ne lWO men to- gether make two good average men, and both receive more wages than they would without an organization.
 There are. of course, many persons who stick to the old time plan of carrying a pumpkin in one end of sack and a stone in the other because their grandfathers did, and think that work should go from day light to dark because their grandfather spent six months out of twelve at that Kind of toll. and labored not the rest of the time But new condi- tions prevail The introduction of labor saving machinery, the application of steam, electricity and other motive pow CTS the utility of improved machinery in all kinds of manufacture and pursuits, enlarges the capacity of production be- | yond the necessity for consumption, and | some economic measure must be adopted to adjust the matter that all may find the opportunity to work and live, and | the shorter work day is considered the
 most practical and at the same time the most beneficial solution.

MISS HAGNER ON
 WAR DEPT. PAYROLL
TARY TO MRS. ROOSEVELT AND GETS $e4o A YEAR AND IS sEcRE- MRS. ROOT.

Washington-Civil service reformers have discovered what they believe to be a clear evasion of the law in the fact that Miss Isabelle Hagner is carried on the rolls of the War department as a clerk at sS4O per. annum. She is detailed away from her desk to serve as the so- cial private secretary to Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Root.
 The reformers to whose attention this case has been called say that 1t might be proper and legal to detail Miss flag ner as the secretary to Mrs. Roosevelt but they ask what warrant of law ex- ists to supply her services in a similar capacity to the wife of the Secretary of War.
 This has been a delicate point for the other ladies of the Cabinet for some time These ladies compensate their personal secretaries from their private income
The age-herald., 1902-05-04
and there is. a disposition to question


 why Mrs. Root does not do likewise.
 The ladies who have recently joined the Cabinet set have been asking embarrass- ing questions as to whether clerks from the departments presided over by their husbands could not attend to their cor respondence and other social matters.
 It is reliably stated that the Secretary of War will soon be approached on this subject by several legislators who desire to fulfill the letter of the law along civil service reform.
 The art of successfully fulfilling the duties of private secretary is one that appeals to many gentlewomen, and many have incurred considerable expense fitting themselves for this work These ladies resent the fact that Miss Hagner fills two such important posts on such meagre salary, and they have brought their grievances to the attention of some sena- tors and representatives who will inves- tigate.
 It is contended that the secretary who attends to the White House work should not receive less than s1OO a month. They also consider that Miss Hagner should either remain at her desk at the War department or resign and ta her chances with the remainder of u. who have adopted this work
 The experience of the past winter has taught Mrs. Roosevelt that she needs some one who can give her entire time to the labor Miss Hagner, In addition to serving Mrs. Root, acts in a similar ca- pacity for Mrs. Depew and Mrs. Hanna. There evidently will be much opposition
The age-herald., 1902-05-04
to Miss Hagner's appointment to the White House IL she is continued on the War department rolls.
ADOPTS wARINe SYSTEM.

From the New York Sun.
 St. Louis Is the latest city to join those that have adopted the swaring system of employing white wings In its street cleaning force. Detroit has put in force the Waring system and has even improv- ed on It.
 Now St Louis has fallen in line. The argument which has had the greatest force there as elsewhere, in leading to the adoption of the white dress is that the men can best be watched in 1t.
 One hundred men have been put into the regulation white duck suits in St. Louis for a start. They have been set at work In the business district. After these the entire force will be uniformed in working suits of white duck as fast as possible.
 They haven't come to the white helm cts yet in St. Louis. In addition to the white blouse and overalls the men will wear gray black trimmed caps.

EiGHT-HOUR DAY
 BROUGHT TO ATTENTION.

Renewed attention is being attracted to the S-hour work day movement on ac- count of tho demand of the Carpenters
 Painters and BriclSlayers for the shorter work day. Law makers would say that 1t is the paramount question with the organized labor of the day. It is the goal to which all the organizations are striving The 10-hour work day has practically been relegated to the class of has-beens. A year ago this month the machinists made a universal demand for a 9-hour day without a reduction per day in pay, and nearly 90 per cent have won.

occasionally. The family health is
discussed goou deal by the parents
In the presence Of the youngsters, and
the two evils held to be the very worst
that can be feared are microbes and
drafts. The other morning the boys
got into wrangle.
''Oh. you're a microbe," Kissed the
elder in his anger.
That dreadful epithet had never been
applied to the other before. and for a
moment he was stunned by the insult,
He tried to come back at his brother
but at first he was at loss what to
say. "You-you-you're another" he
blurted out at last and then caught
himself. "No. you amt, either; you
are a draftr' he exclaimed. and the

Arabian Coffee.

The Arabian coffee maker, having
prepared his fire of charcoal and placed
near it a huge pot containing water,
takes a few handfuls of green coffee
berries, carefully. culls out all imperfect
berries and foreign substances and
then places the best Of the berries in an
iron ladle held over the fire. The ber-
ries are permitted to roast until they
begin to smoke and are then, while still
uncharred. placed in small mortar
and carefully brayed with n pestle
closely fitting the cup of the mortar.
The berries are not. however. reduced
to dust. While this process has been
going on. small pot has been half
filled with tepid water from the large
pot and placed over the fire. Nhen the
water in the small pot has begun TO
boil the broken coffee berries are
thrown in, and the boiling is permitted
to go on for short time, the decoction
being stirred with a spovn when 1t
shows signs of boiling over. The coffee
is then served in small cups without
cream or sugar.

tion is just over. You lounge on the
deck Of your daha bieh and drink in

you and me) the real nature of mud as
nothing else on earth that l know of

your phenomenon isolated, as it. were,
from all disturbing clements.
You have no rainfall to bother you,
no local streams, no complex denuda-
ton. The Nile does it all, and the Nile
does everything. On either hand
stretches away the bare desert. rising
up in gray, rocky hills. Down the
midst runs the one long line of allu.
vial collin other words, Nile mud
which alone allows cultivation and life
I'm that rainless district. The country
bases itself absolutely on mud. The
crops are raised on it, the houses and
villages are built of it, the land is
manured with it, the very air is full
of it. The crude brick buildings that
dissove in dust are Nile mad solidified.
the red pottery of Assiout is Nile mud

minarets are Nile MUD whitewashed.
