Hospital for treatment, but adds that
many wealthy men have been brought

Incorporated bottle of ink. The
city clerk of the municipality where
the wrong-doing occurred lately ire
ceived five cents from Chicago in pay
ment for the property thus converted
to the pupils use. Repentance and
restoration may find full illustration,
even though the value represented is
only a trifle. There is no moral law
which declares that sins against hon
esty do not count unless the sum in
volved is over one dollar. The steal
ing of a penny disturbs the ethical
equilibrium as surely as the stealing
that opens prison doors to the reclz-
less thief.

Madrid, May 6.-The French govern
ment has intimated to the cabinet
here that it would regret to see the ex-
terror debt of Spain taxed or the rate
Of interest reduced. Inasmuch as
Spanish stocks are mostly held by
Frenchmen such a measure would be
calculated to hinder Spanish negotia-
tons in the financial market should
she again need assistance. The fore
going communication is due to repeat
ed reports that Spain has in contem-
plation such step, which has caused
neuch anxiety to Spain's foreign cred
itors.
