THE CHILEAN SCHEME
 TO MAKE ROUGH HOUSE
A Plan to Wreck the Pan American
 Conference, on Arbitration.

Mexico City. Mexico. Jan. 15.--A plan for the adherence of the nations rep resented at the Pan-American congress To the Hague convention vas intro duced by the Gillian delegation today. after q long and able statement tend ing to show the advantages of the Hague convention and the impractical pility of compulsory arbitration. It should be stated that there is an of iicial plan for joining the Hague con ventiOn. that of Chili having been pressed, it is claimed. merely for ob- structive purposes.
 The obstructive tactics of Chill were clearly revealed at today's sessions, so it begins to be apparent to be prac- tically impossible to ever bring either of the arbitration projects to vote. unless some rule resembling the cloture of tine British parliament is adopted as the ChiliauS will continue to taliz indefinitely.
 After attacking. throughout the af- ternoon of the session, the plan of q general acceptance of the Hague ar ticles as having been hastily adopted they finally changed front, dropped their own plan of acceptance and gave their assent to the general plan. but insisted on merely passing it through the conference to be submitted thereto for debate. Their apparent intention is to delay matters indefinitely, and in the meantime to work for the with drawal of more of tae Central and South American delegations until in that way they may wreck the confer ence.

WORLDS FAIR FENCE.
II Has Been Determined That It Shall
 Be Built By Union Men,

Be Built By Union Men,
 St Louis. Mo, Jan. 15.-The work os constructing four miles Of wood fence inclcsing the greater part Of the worlds fair site has been mace a union job. The contract for fencing was awarded last December to a former employer of union carpenters on a snlaI building in construction at Granite City, Ill. Soon after commencing the worS the con tractor discovered he had bid too tow and sought to recoup by employing cheap labor.
 The men he secured a less than the regular union scale have proven to be incompetent and the work dragged slowly. Today he signed an agreement with II. Rlacimore, secretary or the Carpenters District council. under the terms of which he is to employ solely union carpenters for the completion Of the work
 It is believed now that the danger of trouble between union labor and the eX- position company has been averted.

Promptness in Using
 PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND. Means Quick Restoration
 to Health.
IT'S TIVE GREAT SPRING MEDICINE USED IN THE HOMES OF
 OUR BEST PEOPLE.
Refuse all Substitutes and lmita. lions That May Bs Offered You.

If in the spring time people acted with more promptness, decision, and wisdom suffering and misery would be vastly re- duced.
 To put off the work of regulating and strengthening the nerves, purifying the blood, and regulating digestion at this time of the year is very serious mis- take.
 Rundown, weak. nervous, and diseased men and women cannot with safety refuse to use Paines Celery Compound, the greatest of vitalizers and health build CTS. The onward and triumphant march of the great medicine in this country and other civilized lands should be positive proof that 1t Is the right medicine for all who look for strength, robustness, en- ergy, and permanent health.
 It is of the greatest importance that every sick person should get just what they ask for from their druggist or deal- er, Pane's Celery Compound so cele- brated for its curative vistues. has many vile limitations. If you are offered sub stitute or imitation by any dealer, leave his store and go to some honest merchant who will give you what you ask for. Ex- amino wrapper and bottle and see that the name PAINE's is on each; no other is genuine.

They did not realize that the impudent reply to their employer. the earelessness and indifference which they slipped into their tasks. would come out as ghosts in the future to mar their hap piness and success. They looked upon every duty shirked. the minutes they cut off from each end of a day. as so mitch gain. They did not realize that these things which seemed so innocent, would grow into giant defects which would mar their future success.

ABOUT FILIPINO ILLITERAcY
The Principal Sources of Enlighten- msnt are the Churches and the Public Schools.

Frederick Atkinson. in Atlantic Monthly.
 Aside from the public schools and the churches, there have been no other im- portant sources of enlightenment. A per- son may know how to read and write, yet possess not even the rudiments of culture. The assertion Is made that ''S0 per cent. can read and write, thus leav- ing only % per cent. who cannot If this refers to the total Philippine population of 1000, and to "read'' means to un- derstand the material one is reading and to write" more than the writing of ones name. then I am will ing to yen- ture an opinion that the amount of H. hteracy would be nearer the reverse of the above. It Is commonly stated that 5 per cent of the inhabitants can speak and understand Spanish. Public libra. ries. lecture courses. broad commercial relations with foreign countries. wide. spread daily press to give publicity to all affairs of state and society. modern the atres. active participation in public af- fairs. street corner political discussions these and other agencies of such eseen- tial importance for the general advance of culture have been almost entirely lack- ing.
