LITERARY TREASURE.
Hoe BrosCn University Secured a
Great Prise.

Providence, Jan 19.-Up to a short time ago
q thin little volume of sixteen leaves, known as
'"The Iibretto" and priced one of the treas
ures of the San Marco Library, in Venice, was
supposed to be unique. 1t was and is, impor-
tant as a document because 1t contains pract-
caIly all the knowledge of the third voyage of
Christopher Columbus, in which the great ex-
plorer first discovered the South American con-
tinent and followed it's coastline for some hun
dreds of miles. AS the only surviving copy, as
It was believed, of work printed at Venice in
1904 from material contained in some letters by
Peter Martyr, of the courtiers in attend
ance on the Spanish sovereign, it valued as
few books are.
Not many months ago, however, biblogra-
pher and bookseller of Florence came upon an
ancient volume bound in fragments of mediseval
manuscript, with its corners nibbled away by
mice On examination of it he found that it con-
sisted in the main of a seamans guide, printed
ut Venice in 1490-such Columbus him
self may have been familiar with before he
undertook his memorable voyage in 1892. Bound
with this "portolano," as it is called was ac-
cording to fashion that common in the days
of the Renaissance, a perfect copy of the long
sought 'Iibretto' of 1904 From the copy in

that the rare volume would unquestionably be
wanted in Providence if the means for its pur-
chase were at hand.
The photographer judged wisely. a message
hastily sent back to Florence TO accept the
proposition that the 'Libretto" become at once

SOME REASONS
For Collecting In Advance Telephone
Exchange Rentals.

Exchange Rentals.
To the Public:
To collect in advance telephone eX-
change rentals Is no new departure
Rents are so collected by all telephone
companies and have been for many
wears. This Is one of the last compa-
nies to adopt this rule.
This company has about $500 sub
scribers. one or two hundred of whom
move or go out of business every
month and leave the company to hold
the bag. These people cannot be
found, and If located cannot be COL
lected from. The object is to try TO
stop this monthly loss.
The state laws require indiscrimina-
ton and equity towards its patrons py
a corporation Therefore, to collect In
advance from one man, we must COL
lect in advance from all. The person
who intends to pay does not object 10
lend his assistance to make those en-
loving like benefits as he, pay TOT
them. The telephone company Is not
going out Of business within thirty
days. If it should, or If 1t falls 10
give you the service paid for, 1t Will
refund your money.
Won nav in advance for life insur-
ance.
You pay in advance for railroad
fares.
You pay in advance for newspapers
and magazines.
You pay In advance Tor theatre anu
ball games.
You pay in advance for bread tick
cts, ice tickets, street car tickets, mile
age coupons, and many other Things
very similar to telephone service, and
which are hard to collect after the SER
vice is rendered.
How many fares could a railway
conductor collect at the end Of his run!
Or a gatekeeper after the baseball
game is over? Or life or fire insur-
ance. company after the year has ex-
pired or the policy has lapsed?
We wish to thank our subscribers
for the loyal manner in which they
have helped US by paying their bills in
advance. Ninety per cent have paid US
in every town. We had a few at each
place to refuse to pay until they un-
derstood thoroughly the cause of the
change Then these also came man
fully to our rescue, for which we are
grateful. We are glad to say that on
account of not being able to collect In
advance, We had to take out or discon-
tinue only very small percentage OF
telephones.
We are organized to serve you; 1t is
our pleasure to do so. By being able
to collect from our patrons, cutting out
loss, we feel we can give you better
service in the future. We are at
work all the time building new lines
and making improvements for the ben
eft Of our patrons, and we charge a
reasonable compensation for it, max
ing only a reasonable, conservative
return upon the money invested in our
business Yours to serve,

A CONSCIENCE fund
That Steadily Grows is This
Strange Account.
SOME QUEER CONTRIBUTIONS
From Various Sources Con-
Science-Stricken People
Make Restitution.

Washington, April 1.-THE social
ed conscience fund" of the United
States Government has reached an
other milestone in its progress, and
by reason of recent contributions 1t
now amounts to a little more than
$500 900. There is no more interesting
feature of the Government machinery
than the conscience fund" 1t is a
sort of non-sectarian confessional, to
which conscience-stricken sinners who
have at some time or other fliched
from Uncle Sam bring their stories of
repentance.
In reality there is no conscience
fund" in the sense of separate and
distinct fund. All contributions ION
account of conscience" as they are
labeled at the Treasury Department,
are turned into the Treasury and are
paid out in the regular run of APP
preparations. However a separate ac-
count is kept of the conscience con-
tributions, and the departmental book
keepers are able to tell, on short no.
tice, the exact state of the "con-
science fund"
1t has been the policy of the Gov
eminent ever since the conscience
fund was established to exercise a
tender and solicitous regard for those
whose conscience impel them to make
restitution. Even when the amounts
involved are large the officials make
no attempt to ascertain the names or
whereabouts Of the contributors. 1t
has been one of the traditions of the
Treasury Department that no prosecu-
tions shall be made in such cases and
that mo questions asked" shall re-
main the policy. Most of the contri-
buttons are anonymous, but when
names are signed the department new
err permits the identity of the donors
to be revealed in the newspapers.
Acknowledgment of the contributions
is always made through the public
press. Some of the writer's are re-
morseful for having used few cents
worth of washed stamps. Others have
defrauded the revenues. Some have
received from the Government pay to
which they were not entitled, and so
on through long catalogue of pecca-
dillos of which they feel they must
clear their consciences by restitution.
At least 10 per cent. of the money of
this kind comes from priests or preach
ers, who explain that the money is
returned to Uncle Sam as a result of
religious conversion following a re-
Viyal,
