BANDLE TURNS OVER GAIN
OF ONE HUNDRED PER CENT
Register OF Deeds Makes Big Increase
to County I'm surplus
Funds.

An increase OF over 100 per cent in the
surplus funds turned over to the county
by Register OF Deeds Frank w. Bandle at
the end of the first three months of 1905,
as compared with the same period last
year, is shown by the last quarterly re-
port from that office.
AS the result of the recording of 51
more instruments during January, Febru-
airy and March OF the present year. than
during those mouths in 1905, and only d
comparatively slight increase in the ex-
penditures Of the office. the notable in
crease in the surplus has been brought
about. The amount transferred this time is
N.6e..2l whereas only ss12Ss was saved
out OF the three months receipts last year.
AS proof that taxes and fees cannot be
collected without the expenditure of money,
Mr.. Bandle submits the statement that
$s,4s.S9 was spent for salaries and Incl
dental expenses in his office during the
last three months, and that 2,o9.ee was
paid out for the same period in 1905. With
receipts of only t4.T12.2O and ts.N2s5. re-
spectively, the expenses. therefore. cut
down the SURPRISES to a minor part OF the
money taken in.
That the year 1909 Is starting ausplciously
in the line of property transfers. Is shown
by the fact hat 3.ls6 instruments have
already been recorded. as against Ass for
the first quarter OF 1908

oxygen and hypodermic injections. He suf-
fered from an affection of the heart.
Admiral Cervera was born February -.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., April A-News of
the death of Vice Admiral Cervera was
received with great regret In Portsmouth
because of his bravery and courtesy.
He and other Spanish prisoners OF war
arrived at Portsmouth on the steamer Yale
and Harvard. formerly the st. Louis and
st. Paul, in July 1898. The admiral and
his surviving officers came on the Harvard,
July 10. After remaining a week they were
sent to Annapolis where they we're quart
cred until arrangements were made to send
them to Spain at the close Of the war. The
admiral returned to Portsmouth early in
September and rejoined the sailors who had
been held here. All the Spaniards, except
fifteen, who died in camp and were buried
on Seavey island, sailed for home on the
steamer City of Rome on September u.
Admiral Cervera made many friends while
in this country. On one occasion when
passing through Boston he was enthusiast
ically cheered by crowds who
at the railroad stations. During his last
visit to Portsmouth he was rendered a
complimentary banquet by the citizens.
At the time Of the sinking of the Merri-
mac and the capture OF Hobson and his
men the admiral offered to exchange them.
This generous action was greatly apprecI-
ated by the army and navy officers In
Washington and 1t laid the foundation for
Cervera's popularity in America. After his
return to Spain the admiral occasionally
wrote to his friends in this country. II is
