Dividend Declared,

At the last December meeting of
the A lamo Fire Insurance Company's
directors the secretary of the COM
pany was directed to balance the
books to December 81, 1890, and after
same had been done the profits of the
company were such that a dividend
of over 10 per cent was declared for
the old stock holders of the company.
After this was declared, cash
balance of S27 900 was still found in
the treasury, which was carried over
as q reserve for the year 1891. The
annual statement of the Alamo
Fire Insurance Company's assets
and liabilities, sworn to, Is being
| prepared for filing at the state insur-
ance department at Austin, Texas.
! This statement, we are informed, will
show that the cOmpany's capital and
surplus is invested in gilt edge secu-
rites, thus making all liabilities as
secure as any company In existence.
Mr.. Sam Maverick, as president of the
company, on account of disability,
tendere his resignation at the same
meeting. The directory accepted the
same with the greatest personal re-
grets of every director present. The
v ice president of the company, DR.. F.
Herf, was then elected to act as pres
ident until the next stockholders
meeting, which takes place during
| this month.
The LIGHT takes great pleasure in
congratulating the Alamo Fire In
suraDce company on its decided sue
cess Of declaring a dividend after one
years. existence, besides having a
sinking fund of many thousands OF
dollars. Our citizens and the people
of Southwest Texas should extend to
it all the support possible, as every
dollar Of its profits are invested in
San Antonio and Southwest Texas,
which tends to develop our city and
surrounding country.

end desired. We differ as to methods.
You may reckon on me for any outside

Gen. Booth continuing, says: "a
deed of trust for the funds will he ex-
ecuted in few days. Nothing Is yet
done because the necessary funds are
only now assured"
Gen. Booth added that he hopes to
answer criticisms Of his scheme and

Alleged Dangerousness of ChlOrO-
form.-AmOng the recent con trlbu-
tions on this subject to medical jour
nalism in England is q notable state
ment by DIR. Arthus Neve, in which
that eminent practitioner gives his eX-
perience with chloroform and his dis.
belief in much of its reputed DANGER
BUSINESS. He Gays that in 5000 opera
tive cases it has been administered In
his presence, and not q single fatal
case has occurred, while the instances
In which serious danger was threat
ened might be counted on the fingers
of one hand, none of them being due,
either, to any heart affection-it was q
question of arrested respiration, and,
once the potency of the respiratory
tract being secured and q few arti-
fetal respiratory movement performed
all danger passed away. Promptitude
Is necessary, but this is not q quality
in which surgeons are deficient, and
it is to general surgeons, rather than
to the anasthetists, that the knowl-
edge how to meet the danger is due.
Reviewing this subject in its Oriental
relations, DIR. Neve asserts that, as far
as the Inhabitants Of Central Asia and
Northern India are concerned, chic
reform may be regarded as q perfect
ap@sthetlc, for, though the beer
drinking Thibetans occasionally
struggle before succumbing to Its IN
fiuence, it may be said of SO per cent
of the other -Yarkandis, Hill
men, Pathsns, Dards, Ksshmiris, etc.
-chloroform may be given deeply
and its administration prolonged
without drawb back, such as cAFdaic

The Food or the Man?

San Francisco Chronicle.
The British Consul at Bahia writes
to Lord Salisbury that the wonderful
stories that have been told about the
properties of the kola nut are far with
In the bonds OF veracity. He says
that the West African porters at
Bahia, who chew the kola Dean con-
stantiy, are able to perform almost
fabulous feats Of strength and endur-
aucs, and TO earn at least twice as
much wages rs their Brazilian COM
petitors, and this the Consul attri-
butes to the'marvelous nutritive and
stimulant properties of the kola
bean.
This Is not the first case where a
mistake has been made between the
food and the man. When tobacco
was first introduced into England
the most wonderful stories were told
al o 1T its qualities. 1t was claimed
that the naClves of America went
without food for days, being support
ed by chewing bits of tobacco, and
that they could perform unheard of
feats under the influences Of the
nicotiap stimulant. 1t was said to be
meat for the hungry, drink for the
LnlTSty, VI bONctcikH ioi
stanchipg wounds, and, in short. al
most panacea.
Another illustration is the stories
that used to be told about the Pima
Indians The runners Of the tribe
have covered as much az eighty miles
q day on foot, their only food during
the time being handful of pinoie, or
parched and ground corn. All sort s
OF virtues were attributed to the pin
| ole, but when white men tried to
rival the Indian messengers it was
soon found that it was the muscles
and thews and sInews of the Indians
which gave them their great power:
of locomotion, and not the pinolt
which they munched as they ran.
KOla, doubtless, has some excsllent
! stimulative properties, but it can no
take the place of physical strength
| 1t is the man and Dot the food which
is material. The West Africans
would he verv likely to surpass the
Brazilians in strength and en-
| durance, no matter what their food
might he, and careful inquiry at Ba-
| hia would disclose the ia t, no doubt
! that the men who earn double wage!
by doing double work rely not on ko
I la but on their native muscle and en-
| durance, and that the kolS chewing
is only a habit, like chewing tobaccC
| or gum.
