The those necessitous days when tbe conn try verged on war with Great Britain, and it was a patriotic as well as a pen itent act Tbe contributor was the founder of tbe conscience fund, and probably be died in tbe odor of sanc tity. "During tbe preceding thirty-five years of the life of the republic no one bad despoiled the government, or tlie private conscience was callous. This New York man, indeed,' seems to have been the one blemish on a golden era of national virtues, for fifty years were to elapse before there was an addition to the fnnd. - "In 1861, Just after Sumter was fired on, the sum of $0,000 in bonds was re ceived by tbe treasury department. with a letter explaining that a sorely tried conscience could no longer en dure its burden of guilt The plain In ference was that tbe sender, realizing the United States would need a mint of money 'to carry on the war. Judged It not to be a time to defer repentance. Think of the bounty Jumpers who prof ited by his contribution 1 . .-" "It was really useful to the country in another way. Tbe conscience fund, which had languished for want of a shining example, now became active. It has been quoted pretty steadily ever since. At the present time it amounts to more than $300,000. Indeed, restitu tion is getting to be the fashion, and the time may come when no one will take advantage of the government or do so only wltb the laudable design of swelling the conscience fund when any emergency confronts Uncle Sam."

In that city, with a podu lation of 342.782. there are 21.324 tele phones, or sixty-two per thousand. In Europe, Copenhagen Is probably the pest telephoned city, with 1;.311 tele phones to its 312.830 of population. equal to forty-nine per thousand. In Copenhagen, too. the best conditions for the public exist, although the rates are relatively as high as those In Amer ican cities.
