workmen are receiving 8 to 10 cents
an hour premium over and above the
union scale Of wages in several trades
in the building industry because Of the
great demand for their services In
keeping pace with the unprecedented
building boom in Chicago and through
out the country, says the Chicago Rec
ord Herald. In the mechanical branches
all are employed and so many more are
wanted that Chicago contractors are
securing the country for good men and
Offering special inducements in the way
Of wages and accommodations.
AS for Chicago, contractors agree
that the present building boom eclipses
the palmy days Of the Worlds Fair
time, and surpasses anything Of the
kind In the history Of the city. Be-
cause of the scarcity of good workmen
many buildings have been delayed sew
eral weeks In their erection. The rush
Of work Of the Worlds Fair season
did not last as long as the present
boom.

GENERAL CHAFFEE'S REPORT
ON CONDITION OF PHILIPPINES

Washington. Dec. 10.-1'he first an
nual report af Geperal Chaffee, mtli-
tary governor Of the Philippines, sums
up the situation there from n military
point of view by stating that the prov
inces of Batangas and La Guna. in Lu-
zon. and the islands of Samar. Man
dora, Cebu and Bohol. constitute the
area now disturbed by any embodied
force of insurgents.
He says that to the physical charac-

1.-The Withdrawal of Interference with
civil affairs doas not contemplate with
drawal OF the troops from their sta
tions to any considerable extent: on
the contrary. this should not be done
hastily, and when undertaken should
be gradual and more In the nature of
concentration than reduction OF force
or abandonment Of any considerable
area Of territory"
He therefore recommends that there
be no further material reduction OF
troops before January. 1903. The gov

CarOm Tournament.

The carom social to be given at the
home OF Mrs. w. B. Stanley tonight
promises to be most delightful affair.
The entertainment will be given unoer
the auspices OF the Woman's Club, and
great care has been taken by the ladies
to provide everything for the comfort OF
their guests. They have been so busy,
in fact, that they have sold no tickets for
the affair, 80 only the admission will be
charged at the door.
This is rather new in the way Of enter
tainment, and, as general invitation is
extended to the public, it is hoped that
the attendance will be very large.
The proceeds from the event will go
toward the fund for the decoration OF
the school rooms, plan which the Ia
dies consider a very good one, and one
which meets the approval OF almost ev-
cry person who has children in school.
How much more attractive and pleasant
ia the school room for the children, il
acknowledgements epaintingsanddra draw
ings adorn the walls. Does it not lessen
the tendency of the child to absent himself
from the place where he must study all
day long, and where sometimes he finds
lessons too irksome for his young spirits?
1t is, or should be, the object OF every
parent to make the home the dearest
and most attractive spot on earth for the
boy and girl, for it is there that he should
find all that is purest and best in life.
Should it not therefore be the aim to
make the school room equally pleasant
and homelike? For it is there that the
child must spend the hours OF the day.
and his surroundings will leave their I'M
pressions upon his life.
1t would be money we'll spent to at
tend the entertainment tonight and let
your money help to aid in decorating the
school room with adornments which will
make good impression upon the pupils
who 90 there day after day.
