The Result of a Surplus.

1t is, however, suggested that these
surplus amounts be invested and al
lowed to accumulate; of this fund, $5,-
900, with accumulations at 6 per cent
per annum, is calculated to amount to
more than enough to repay the share
holders the full capital invested with
in twenty years, still leaving margin
for annual expenditure of $4,000 for re-
pairs or depreciation of furniture, etc.
1t will be noticed that the only diff
ference in the estimates of expenditure,
as between "a" "B" and &C." are in
the cost of the supplies per person.
which in every case are figured at so
per cent more than the average cost Of
supplies on the Pacific Coast for first
class hotels. This is very liberal al
lowance, which will be naturally re-
duced as soon as the tariff question is
settled; meantime figures are based on
the maximum estimated cost.

HOW TO SAVE DOCTOR BILLS.

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberiain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
bottle open all the time and when
ever any of my family or myself begin
to catch cold we begin to use the
Cough Remedy, and as result we new
err have to send away for doctor and
incur a large doctor. bill, for Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy never fails to
cure. 1t is certainly a medicine o.

Rush of Private Pension Bills Before the
Present Congress Surpasses All Pre-
vious in Our History.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Nothing like
the food of private pension bills
poured in on this congress has ever
been known before in American his
tory. Within two months after the
opening of the session as many bills
have been introduced as are usually
offered in a whole session, and the
flood is increasing instead of dimin-
ishing. In this respect this congress
will break all records. The pension
committees are simply staggering
under the increase of business. There
has also been an increase in the num-
Der of bills introduced to amend the
record of deserters, so as to enable
them to get pensions.
Since the opening of this session
it has received Las private pension
bills and 45 general bills, 100 in ALL
During the whole of the last session
and the extra session which preceded
it, 1888 such bills were referred to
this committee, so that the number
introduced in two months of the pres
ent session is almost as large as the
total number introduced in the last
two sessions. The extra session was
as long as some regular sessions.

ENTHUSIASM FOR EDUCATION
Superintendent Frye Saws All Cuba Is
Afame for the American System of
Schools Now Being Introduced.

Havana, Feb. 11.-Alexis Frye, su-
perintendent of Cuban schools, in his
report upon the development of the
school system since the work of re-
organization began, six weeks ago,
says that the whole country seems
on fire with enthusiasm for educa-
ton. The popular feeling exceeds all
he had ventured to hope for. Six
weeks ago there existed in the island
less than 200 schools, all based on the
old Spanish foundations, with the
exception of a few that had been es-
tablished more than a year before in
Santiago by Gen. Wood. There are
now 2,O5s schools in the island, of
which 201 are in Havana, 152 in
Matanzas city and 40 in Puerto Prin-
cipe city. The schools that have al
ready reported show an aggregate at
tendance of more than 100000 pupils,
and Mr.. Frye believes this attendance
will have increased to 100000 before
June 1.

DEWEY is POSITIVE.
He Denounces a MIR. Bray Who Claims to

New York, Feb. LII have never,
by word, act or intimation, either
personally or through a representa-
tive, conveyed to Aguinaldo or any
of his associates the assurance that
the United States government would
recognize Filipino independence" The
foregoing statement was made by
Admiral Dewey in the most emphatic
tone last night. The declaration was
brought forth in a discussion con-
cerning the repeated assertions that
Admiral Dewey, while in the Philip
pines, consulted with Aguinaldo and
told him that the United States gov
ernment would recognize the inde-
pendence of the Philippines. The
statement was elected principally by
an article bearing upon this subject
which was sent in to the New York
Tribune for publication. The article
contains letter signed by Howard
w. Bray, who is alleged to have acted
as interpreter between Aguinaldo,
Consul General Pratt and Admiral
Dewey. When Admiral Dewey had
read the article he said, impressively:
nave some reports, documents
and statements before me which l in
tend, upon my return to Washington,
to submit to the senate committee on
foreign relations. 1t is better, how
ever, to strike this lie as it arises, and
