District government are paid off at the District
building. They come up in swarms and
the ceaseless tramp, tramp. tramp up

EMPHATIC DENIALS.
They Say They Had Nothing to Do
With the FOulke Letter.

A STAR reporter saw Gov. Thompson of the
civil service commission this afternoon and
asked him If he had anything
to say about the charge that he
and Mr.. Roosevelt were cognizant of
the letter from Mr.. VIM. Dudley Foulke to
the St. Louis Republic and the New York
Times, and that they had hand in the COM
position of the letter. The letter said
that appearances would certainly
indicate that some government
officials here were helping on the leaders Of
the attack on the civil service commission and
mentioned the names of certain officials who it
was stated have been especially active in aiding
the attack.
Have l anything to say2" said Gov Thomp-
son. "Simply that the whole charge connect
ing me in any way with the authorship or pub
LEGATION of that letter is absolutely and I'M
quaiifiedly false. That is all have to say"
II do not think it worth while to go into de-
tail in the matter" said Mr.. Roosevelt. ''but
do wish to give the whole story my fiat and abb
solute denial"
ANOTHER DENIAL.
Mr.. Foulke is out of town, but his secretary,
Mr.. c. r. Lane, was seen by The STAR reporter,
and in answer to his question Mr.. Lane said:
Il do not represent Mr.. Foulke, but
l am in q position to know all about the
preparation and publication of that
letter. The statement that either Gov. Thomp-
son or Mr.. Roosevelt was instrumental in die
tating or inspiring the whole or any part of
that letter is absolutely false and without the
least foundation in truth"

A BRIDEGROOM FOR TWO HOURS.
Suicide of a Young Man on the After
noon of His Wedding.

There are several peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the suicide of John N. Hodgson, a
book keeper, who shot himself at his boarding
house in Cleveland, Ohio, Thursday afternoon
He went to his room at 8 o'clock, with the re-
mark, "Now am ready for anything" shot
was heard at 4;30 o'clock, but the dead body
was not found until o'clock in the evening,
when the door to Hodgson's room was forced
1t is learned that Hodgson was married ut 2:3O
O'Clock, two hours before his suicide, to Miss
Addie May Bishop. None of bis friends knew
of the marriage until Friday morning, when
the young lady called at Hodgson's
boarding place and asked for him.
She was Informed that he was dead.
Then the caller said she was Hodgson's wife.
The fact that he had committed suicide was
impaired to her as gently possible. but the
shock to her was terrible, and she gave way
for time to her grief. The young woman
said that she had kept company with
Hodgson for several years before this
marriage, and she was at a loss to account
for his self-destruction. The young mans
brother believes, however. that he was tenn
porarily insane, as he had just recovered from
severe attack of the grip and had acted some
what strangely. Hodgson's landlady says that
although he gave his occupation as a book
keeper, he did nothing but manage his property,
which consisted of real estate in Cleveland

year, and no country where Sisal could
be grown has ever been able to compete
in labor wi b the cheap producers in
Yucatan. A machine has recently been
manufactured and patented in Jackson
vile, Florida, which is perfec for the ex-
traction OF the Sisal Fibre and the speci
mems produced were extracted by DR..
Hanson himself with one of these
machines. The result of this discovery
has been to open up a new industry
which was not contemplated when this
company was first rmel. The Sisal
plant grows luxuriantly in South Flor
ida, and unlike tobacco and some other
crops, il is not affected by the season !;
wet or dry, ran Or sunshine, it was all the
same to the Sisal plant. DR.. Hanson
stated that at the lowest computation.
the cultivation of Sisal wOu in two
years from the time of planting yield a
net profit of at least $40 to the acre,
that here were no "ifs or ands" about it,
as was the case with tobacco, because
when once the plants were set out they
would flourish without being affected by
the weather he gave figures upon which
he based this result, and they are set out
at the Ind.
ESTIMATE OF THE YIELD PER ACRE OF THE
SISAL HEMP PLANT.
2,240 plants will be planted to the
acre.
At two years, twenty leaves per
plant will be cut, Weighing upon an aver
age one and one-half pounds each.
At three years, forty leaves per plant
will be cut, weighing upon an average
two pounds each, and so for the next
four years, when the plantation must be
renewed.
The leaves will yield six per cent of dry
merchantable fibre.
At two years One acre with 2,24O
plants will yield $4,000 pounds of green
leaves or 5,O4O pounds of fibre. At
three years, 179,2OO pounds of green
leaves Or 1882 pounds of fibre. Total
$500 pounds.
Or on an average of about 5000
pounds year. 5000 pounds OF fibre at
eight cents pound Ia very low price,
500. Deduct cost ofMarketing at three
cents pound $24O. Profit $500 or
$50.
1t will therefore be seen that DR.. Han
sons estimate OF $40 is well within the
mark.
Mr.. Cummins writes with reference to
the above:-' In sending you this wish
to draw your attention to what is said
of the machine recently inverted for ex-
tracing the fibre of the Sisal plant,
which is, l believe. species of aloe COM
mon to the hilIcountry of Ceylon. 1t

Cotton in the Orange Groves.

Owners of young groves will find cot
ton, if heavily fertilized, better crop
than vegetables to grow among their
trees. In spite of all that is said to the
contrary, cotton is not only the crop that
can be most easily raised in the State,
but one of the most profitable, if rightly
managed. With vegetables, the trouble
begins when the crop is made, but long
staple cotton has the convertible power
of bank note.-Palatka News.
