the year have aggregated 500, 900, and
disbursements only $4,000. The sur
plus of $12 900 is the largest the institu
ton has ever had. 1t will be put into
the general fund toward future ex-
penses. The average number of in
mates for the year has been forty-one,
all that the house has capacity for.

"'The American business spirit" he said
in the course of his address, is an ex-

] think that this spirit is sometimes car
ricd too far. For instance, in hotel

bcr if he had ever heard certain cee-

phatically. These pianists never
patronize me. and so I never patronize
