Unclaimed Government Bonds.
WASHINGTON, May 14th-It is estimated
that 100000 has been paid into the
United States Treasury for Government
bonds that will never, in all probability, be
called for Year after year the interest on
these bonds is carefully computed and
credited to the holder. In this way it is
easy to determine the exact amount of the
original investment. This seeming care
lessneSS on the part of the bondholders is
explained by the Treasury officials on the
hypothesis that the owners have become
insane or died inteState. or, as is sometimes
the case, have been lost at sea, or killed in
| a railway accident, when there was no OPP
portunity to communicate with their
friends. Not infrequently certain class
of people with more money than mind have
purchased bonds, and, after hiding them
away in some obscure place, forgotten all
about the transaction. In these cases the
Government is that much richer.
