Uncle Sans conscience fund" is
growing rapidly these DAYS. Nearly
$500 was added to it last week. and
If the average of the past two months
be kept up through the coming ten.
last years high-water mark will be
topped.
From fifty to seventy-five contribu.
lions are received every year from
person who have defrauded the gov
eminent and want to make PREPARATION.
The contributions range from a two
cent stamp to thousands of dollars,
and they come from children and gray
haired men and women.
The government guards the fund
most carefully. No prosecution is
ever based on the remittance from
person with a troubled conscience
and the names of the senders are
never made public.
Not many of the letters sent with
money are signed, but there are often
cases where the identity of the send
ers could be easily established, but
there is no effort to trace them. The
government is content to get the
money. Most of the letters are signed
Conscience" and the writing is often
disguised. Each contribution is ac-
knowledged by bulletin posted in the
secretary's Office, giving the amount
and the place it came from.
The largest additions to the fund
come from business men who have
given undervaluations in importing
goods and cheated the government out
of duties and have since experienced
a change of heart Many contribu-
tons are received from women in pay
ment of duty on articles smuggled in
to the country. The small sums are
usually for stamps that were used
twice.
The following letter was received
from Baltimore woman on Feb. 16:
Enclosed find $40 American money
which should have been paid at the
New York custom house."
This one came in few days ago
from woman in Santa Ana, CAL:
United States Conscience Fund:
When | was a very young girl I once
used two-cent stamp which had been
cancelled. l did not realize the sin
then, and did not know of the con-
science fund until year or two ago.
/ am sorry I did it, but God has re-
vealed my duty to me, so l send the
inclosed stamps, eight cents
A New York man sent four 500
bills to the fund this week by open
mail. With the money was this note:
Enclosed please find $500 conscience
money"
The largest contribution ever re-
ceived was a draft for $4,000 sent by
a minister in England. He said the
money was given to him to send by a
man who was converted in his church.
The most peculiar contribution
ever received was a draft for $4,000
sent by minister in England. He
said the money was given to him to
send by a man who was converted in
his church.
The most peculiar contribution
came from a man who cut pile of
$4,000 in bills squarely in halves. He
sent one-half, and said if that were
acknowledged he would forward the
other. He evidently feared that the
money might not reach the proper
authority. The receipt of the first
half of the bisected currency was
acknowledged and the other half was
received a few days later
The following shows the total addi-
lions to the conscience fund in recent
years: 1902, s35, S6S.22; 1901,
s2263.3O; 1900, $3,S16.22; 1899, S.

The West Virginia building at the
Worlds Fair will be the ideal State
building, in that the object OF the
Commission was to provide struc-
ture admirably adapted for use as a
home and headquarters for West
vireinians visiting the fair. Both in
its interior and exterior arrange
ments this has been sought to be
carried out All of the rooms will
be provided with chairs and lounges
where the visitors can rest after the
fatigue of seeing the fair. And
then there are the porchesl They
will prove one ofthe most delightful
features of the buiIding-in floor
space they have . greater area than
any church in the State of West
Virginia, and they are to be plenti-
fully supplied with settees and
chairs. The building will also
boast of information bureau, bag
gage and cloak rooms, telegraph
Office and many other conveniences.
All in all it can be said that the
West Virginia building will be all
that can be desired from every point
of view. and every West virginian
who visits the fair will get his
moneys worth.
