Ahou ReetV.tt A merica. W hin m j;. Nvemler 14.-Presi dent Rooseveltmoday gave publicity to a letter he has received from C. W. Macara. president of the Internation al Federation of Master Cotton Spin ners' and Manufacturers' Associa tion. dated at Manchester, England, November F. The letter speaks in most optimis tie terms of the future of the cotton industry in the United States and of the benefits derived from the Atlan ta Convention and the southern tour of the members of the Federation. The letter follows: "I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your valued letter of October IS. "The interest which you have shown in the aims of the Interna tional Federation of Master Cotton Spinners' and Manufacturers' Asso ciation under whose auspices the de legation. representing the cotton us ing countries of Europe. visited Amer ica, will be a matter of intense satis faction, not only to the delegation itself, but to every member of the Internation'al Federation. "The convention which was held at Atlanta October S and 9 was the most remarkable gathering ever held in connection with the cotton indus try, as it embranced representatives of American and European spinners of the Cotton Exchanges of the world, and of the cotton planters of the Southern States of America. It undoubtedly marks an epoch in the history of the cotton industry. "As stated in our letter. the In ternatioinal Cotton Federation aims at the promotion of stable conditions throughout the world for the cotton industry, and I feel certain that it is imipossible to over-estimate the benefit which may accrue to one of the greatest international industries by the frank interchange of opin ion which took place at-the Atlanta Convention. "'The opportunities afforded of receiving and imparting information throughout the tour of the Southern states must also be productive of great benefit, both to the producers of the raar materiSl and to the cotton spinners and manufacturers. ''We certainly found wherever we went in the United tStat.es that great changes are being inaugurated, and we have returned home feeling that your wonderful country possesses un limited'resources in many respects, and especially in regard to the pro duction of c .s We believa onr visit will have in'some measure stim ulated the cotton planters tio take fuller advantage of their splendid op portunities. . 'We shall always remember with pleasure the hearty welcome accord ed to us wherever we journeyed. The hospitality and kindness of the Amer ican people were overwhelming.. ''Our chief regret on leaving the United States was that we had not. the honor and pleasure of meeting you, whose services to humanity have -evo'ked so much admiration throughout the world.'' NOT A CANDIDATE. Capt. Capers Will Retire to Private Life Shortly-Not Inclined 'to Judiciary. Washington cor. The State. Washington, Nov. 15.-tapt. John G. Oapers, who is no# commissioner of internal revenue, whom some of the Washington papers have beten "mentioning'' for a place on the 'ount of appeals for the District of Columbia. to succeed the late Judge McComas, who died last Sunday, says he is not an applicant for the job. The commissioner has just returried from New York, and finding that he ris among those "spoken of'' he takes oced'on to give out a state [me't :' "'''his intention to re tire to rr . 1"fe again after the end of his serv e as commissioner of in ternal revenue, which position he was appointed to ntil Decemrber. In De cember Mr. Wight from Louisiana .Was to relieve him in the commist. sioner's office. It is by no means eer tain, however, that Mr. Wight will -'come to g'et the job which was offer -ed him by the president and which he agreed to take. Mr. Wight has such Sextensive bu.l5iness interests in Louis iana that. it is gecnerally believed that he does not want to come to Wash inVtonl to take up~ these duties. In this case. Capt. Capers will likely hold on to his present job. It would not do for him to relinquish it if .e can hold on to it. for the reason ihat people would inevita1,ly conclude the he had not made good.

SOUTHERN BANKS WILL BE HELPEI Government Will Also Assist Bank in the West-Money Needed for Crops. Washington. D. C., November 13. Leroy Percy, a prominent banker an cotton grower in Mississippi, was visitor at th e white. house where l discussed with the president the ma ter of moving the cotton crop in tb south. Mr. Percy said he. could n( speak for the president, but he pri dicted that the 10 per cent of eme: geney deposits dTawn from Ne York banks yesterday would be ser to banks in the south and west. Percy spoke with seeming autho: ity, and there is no longer any doul of the fact that relief is t.o be gi' en to both southern and wester banks. Vigils of Lighthouse Keepers. C. Re..ord-Herald. A Freneh writer, telling f C. lii of the lighthouse keepers along t} eost of Brittany, thinks it strang that any of them escape insanity. The system of relief that prevai in th1is country has no equivalent t'r.e Fren~ch service and with short ii tervals, months apart, a French ligh house keeper may send forty years< his life tending the lamps in one sta tion, with a single companiion, a:a that station may be on a rock out about the safest place on earth1 which boats can approach onlyi fine weather. As a matter of fact, the men ofte do becomne insane or at 'least develc mono-mania. Sometimes it takes il form of hatred of each other. In one ease, -at Terennec, one of tv men was found by a party who can off from the shore in response to si; nals lying dead in his bed with long, keen-bladed knife through h heart. His companion's story was that I had committed suicide after a lo: peri'od of melancholia. There was proof to the' contrary, but after e: amining the wound the authoritii doubted the truth of the story. On another occasion, where sfath, and son tended an isolated beacon t gether, the young man was seize with an attack of acute mania. Wh< the time came to light up he plant4 himself in front of the staiimway to ti lantern and refused to allow his fat: er to ascend. The old man attacked his son, ar finding he could subdue him in other way, so that the lights on. whi< so many lives depended might be ki: died, strangled him to death. The ne: day he signaled to the shore for he and gave himself up to the police, te ing what he had done. Sikness and death are no strange in the lihthouses. There is. ninet nine tinmes out of a hundred.

But in vain; al "walked with bowed head; the wc >tmen's faces were buried itj thei Shandkerchiefs; the men held thei ~hats before theirs. He could maki out nothing eharacteristie.
