T|(||RI0F FLEET
COSTS MILLIONS
CONTINUED from First Page.)

1t is declared-and these are appar-
emily among the figures that do not
belong to the Ananias club-that the
world-cruise, at its completion on
February %, will have cost not less
than $27,500,000. When the ships
enter Hampton Roads they will have
burned up that amount fortune
vanished in the air with the smoke
from the tunnels of Admiral Sperry's
sixteen bulldogs and the auxiliaries
accompanying them. Careful esti-
mates show that it costs about ST.
107, 900 to maintain the battleships
of the fleet, and that the mai1ten-
ance charge on account of the auxil-
iaries is not less than $5,000,000.
The ships will be gone for substan-
TALLY one and fourth years. In
round numbers, therefore, the cost
will be substantially $27,500.00O.
The estimate as to- the cost of the
cruise does not include charges that
could reasonably be put to the main
tenance account To make the cost
appear just as it should would neces-
state an estimate to be made of the
proportionate share each ship should
bear of the whole expense of having
and maintaining navy. Under such
a system of accounting the cost would
probably run we'll on to 100000, 900,
because the fleet constitutes nearly
two-thirds of the entire navy, but
there is a good deal of ineffective ma
terial in the establishment to which
careful accounting officer would as
sign considerable of the cost.
The estimate of $4,154,5O0 for re-
pairs to a number Of ships is called
routine thing by the officers on duty
at the bureau of construction and re-
pair.
No ship can have a new set of boil

Found at Last.
For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with most per-
sistent and disagreeable cough,
which invariably extended over a
period of several weeks and caused
her many sleepless nights" writes
Will ]. Hayner, editor of the Burley,
Colo, Bulletin. Various remedies
were tried each year. with no bene-
fetal results. In November last the
cough again put in an appearance
and my wife, acting on the sugges-
ton of a friend, purchased bottle
OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The result was, indeed, marvellous.
After three doses the cough entirely
disappeared and has not manifested
itself since" This remedy Is for
sale by all dealers.

got to be borne in mind. First peo-

must be taught the dignity OF labor
and at the same time given proper
methods in the direction of skill.
Secondly, they must have their minds
and their ambitions awakened so
that their wants will be increased. No
individual labors except as he has a
motive for doing so. The ignorant.
unframed negro in South Africa
works for only one or two days in
each week. He quits and returns to
his little hut at the end of that time.
The white man in South Africa wond-

and angry with the African for this
kind of conduct.
