BiilCD.T FU IU?B FOR. CO.CTON. > English Spinners Write President About Rccont Vii.it to America. Washington. November 1-1.?President Roosevelt ^oday gave publicity to a letter ho has received from C. W. Macaw, president of the International Federation of Master Cotton Spinners' and Manufacturers' Association, dated at Manchester, England, November fi. The letter speaks in most optimistic terms of the future of the cotton industry in the United States and of the benefits derived from the Atlanta 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 tlu> International Federation of Master Coiton Spinners' and Manufacturers' Association under whose auspices the delegation. representing the cotton using countries of Europe. visited America, will be a matter of intense satisfaction, jiot only to the delegation itself, but to every member of the International Federation. "The convention which was held at Atlanta October 8 and 0 was the most remarkable gathering ever held in connection with the cotton industry, as it cmbraneed representatives of American and European spinners of the Cotton Exchanges of the world, and of I he cotton planters of (he Southern Slates of Amcrica. It undoubtedly marks an epoch in the history of the cotton industry. "As stated in your letter, the Tn* ternatioinal Cotton Federation aims at the promotion of stable conditions throughout the world for the cotton industry, and I feel certain that it is impossible to over-estimate the benefit which may accrue to one of the greatest international industries by the frank interchange of opinion 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, tooth to the producers of the raw material and to the cotton spinners and manufacturers. "We certainly found wherever we went, in the United States that great changes are being inaugurated, and we have returned home feeling that your wonderful country possesses unlimited resources in many respects, and especially in regard to the production of i We believ our visit will have in some measure stimulated the cotton planters tV> lake fuller advantage of their splendid opportunities. "We shall always remember with pleasure the hearty welcome accorded to us wherever we journeyed. The hospitality and kindness of the American 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 evoked 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.?Capt. John G. Capers, who is now commissioner of internal revenue, whom some of the Washington papers have bcten "mentioning" for a place on the "ount of appeals for the District of Columbia, to succeed the late Judge Mc.Comas, who died last Sunday, says he is not an applicant for the job. The commissioner has .just returned from Now York, and finding that he is among those "spoken of" he 'takes oca-ion to give out a statemc 'l liis intention to retire to )*r'v " ,:fc again after the end of his Ferv:i^ as commissioner of internal revenue, which position he was appointed to until December. In December Mr. Wight from Louisiana . Was to relieve him in the commissioner's office. It is by no means certain, however, that Mr. Wight will pome to get the job which was offcr"ed him by the president and which lie agreed to take. Mr. Wight has such extensive business interests in I/ouisiana that it is generally believed that , he does nol want to come to Washington to t:iko up these duties. In I' 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 that people would inevitably conclude that he had not made good.

Whenever the tinu conies in I lie afternoon to light thv ollices. for instance, the commission cr calis out to tho major domo, oi the keeper of the key, or whatever i: the name of the functionary charged with tl?is duty, to "turn on tin Roosevelt."

SOUTHERN BANKS WILL BE HELPED Government Will Also Assist Bank: in the West?Money Needed for Crops. Washington, I). C? November lioroy l'ercy, a prominent banker aia cotton grower in Mississippi, was i visitor at. the while house wlicrc In discussed with the president the mat ler of moving the cotton crop in lh< south. Mr. Percy said In4 could 1101 speak for the president, but he pre dieted that the 10 per cent of enier geney deposits drawn from New York banks yesterday would be seni to banks in the south and west. Percy spoke with seeming author ity, and there is no longer any doubi of the fact that relief is to be giv en to both southern and west err banks. Vigils of Lighthouse Keepers. C:i i.; lie. ord-l rerald. A P.ench writer, telling ol .\;o Jii'< of the lighthouse keepers along tlx const of Brittany, thinks i: slrangi thai any of them escape insanity. The system of relief that prevails in this country has no equivalent ii the 1' ie.ich service and with short in tervals, months apart, a French light house keeper may send forty years oj his life tending the lanfps in one sla tion, with a single companiion, a.u that station may be oa a rock out ii about the safctft place on earth t< which boats can approach only ii fine weather. As a matter of fact, the men oftei do become insane or at least develoj mono-mania. Sometimes it takes tin form of haired of each other. Tn one case, at Terennec, one of tw< men was found by a party "who cann off from the shore in response to sig nals lying dead in his bed with i long, keen-bladcd knife through hi: heart. Ilis companion's story was that hi had committed suicide after a lo:i< period of melancholia. There was m proof to the'contrary, hut after ex amining Ihe wound the authoritiei doubted the truth of the. story. On another occasion, where falhc and son tended an isolated 'beacon to getlier, the young man was sei/.ei with an attack of acute mania. Whei Ihe time came to light up he planlc< himself in front of the slainway to tin lanlem and refused to allow bis falli cr to ascend. The old man attacked his son. an< finding he could subdue him in n< other way. so that the lights on. whicl so many lives depended might be kin died, strangled him to death. The nex day he signaled to the shore for liel] and gave himself up to tlie police, tell ing what he had done. Sickness and death are no s'tranger: in |he lighthouses. There is, ninety nine times out of a hundred, n< chance of medical aid and Ihe wel man prescribes from I lie medicim chest for Ihe sick one as liosl he can lie also does double duly until hi; partner recovers or relief,comes. There are not infrequent ease.1 when the survivor has to soav up his dead comrade in a hammock an< launch, his weighted body from tlx rocks into Ihe sea. Then come lorn nights of lonely watching.
