HER SUFFERINGS
TOLD IN A BOOK
MRS. FLORENCE MAVERICK POR-
YEARS IN PRISON.

NEW YORK, November 4.-Deserted
by her children who believe their
mother was guilty of poisoning their
father destitute and with only the
solace of the sympathy of her mother,
whose fortunes were alike reduced
through her contest for her daughters
liberty, Mrs. Maybrick has portrayed
the sufferings of fifteen years i'm an
English prison in a book soon to be
published.
From it she expects to receive enough
to maintain her in comfort while her
suits for her North Carolina and Vir-
ginia property against Mr.. Armstrong
are being fouth. At the present Mrs.
Maybrick is guest of DR.. f. NJ. Dens-
more in Brooklyn.
Mrs. Maybrick's children have been
so influenced by the Maybricks, their
fathers people, that they have turned
against their mother" said DR.. Dens-
more tonight "They are in England.
Mrs. Maybrick's mother, the Baroness
Won Roques, is in France. Her for
tune was greatly reduced by her efforts
to liberate her daughter. She has
barely enough to live on.
Mrs. Maybrick has no regular source
of income now. The first suit she
brought against Mr.. Armstrong is to
be heard in Richmond in a month or
two. or course If she gets possession
of the property again she will be
wealthy But it will take a long time.
In the meantime what little she has
will have been dissipated."

THE GARONNE
HEAVILY LIBELLED
CLAIM TO HAVE
ON BOARD THE VESSEL.

SEATTLE, Wash, oct. pa sensa-
tional suit for $145OO damages was filed
yesterday afternoon in the United
States court by Attorney Herbert
Shook, on behalf of 29 steerage pas
sengers, against the steamship Garon-
me- each of the plaintiffs suing for $50.
The complaint alleges that the plain
tiffs suffered the alleged damages on
the last trip of the Garonne from No
me because of ill-treatment accorded
them in overcrowding unclearliness,
poor food and generally inadequate a.
cOmnO Ia cas-.
They claim tina 800 passengers were
crowded into the steerage and infer
entially charge that the Garonne ex-
ceeded the limit of passengers allowed
by her certificate. The plaintiffs also
claim they were put into the cattle
pen, deprived of ventilation and COM
PEELED to eat food UNIT for human con-
sumption until they had paid So each
to the steward for better food.
They further allege that their quar-
ters were overrun with vermin and that
no attempt was made to clean away
the refuse and revolving leavings of
seasick passengers, the same being left
on the floor of the steerage through the
whole nine days of the voyage. Attor-
ney Shook asserts that he will prove
the Garonne came into port purposely
at 2 o'clock in the morning to avoid
observation.

Twenty years ago The average yield
of commercial sugar i'm Hawaii was
about ten pounds per 100 pounds of
cane, and the average yield of cane per
acre was about twenty-five tons. At
the present time the average yield Of
commercial sugar is about twelve
pounds per 100 pounds of cane, and the
average yield Of cane per acre is about
forty tons. The"e are now being fifty

varying from $50 short tons of sugar

Best
Assortment
Of Good
Trunks

If you think of buying a trunk you
will do well to examine it carefully.
Note the material used I'm its makingi
the number Of bolts, If any; the care
of construction and other important de-
tails.
The more you examine our trunks the
more you will realize that they are not
common trunks. Each one is made
from the strongest light materials to
be obtained. The experience Of the
best trunk manufacturer gives each one
strength that will Withstand the
toughest handling. They are made
for the greatest convenience in shapes
and fur ishings.
What is true of our trunks is also
true Of our stock of suit cases and
valises. We cordially invite you to
examine them.

while a few sell their cane to neighbor-
ing mills and plantations. Most of the
plantations are joiut-stock companies.
There are few, however which are
owned by individuals. Forty-three Of
the plantations which are incorporated
have 6,366 stockholders. The annual
sugar output of the islands since an
nexation has been as follows, i'm tons Of
1000 pounds:
1898. .......229.4t4 1901 ........36O ,03S
1S99........2S2.S O7 1902. ......355 ,6ll
1900. .......2S9,54 1903 .......43I99 l
In 1908 the capitalization of the plan
tations was $64,S7S,931 and the total
amount of dividends paid was 1,555, 652.
A careful test conducted at the eN-
pertinent station of the Hawaiian Su-
gar Planters Association shows that
without irrigation 1t was only possible
to obtain 1000 pounds. or less than one
short tom of sugar per acre. This was
with a rainfall of 32.5 inches per year
The largest of the irrigated plantations
have a much smaller rainfall than 32.j
inches, and it would not be possible to
harvest even the small acre output in
dicated by the unirrigated cane at the
experiment station. A yield of 1000
pounds of sugar to the acre would not
justify the expense of growing, har-
vesting and milling the same, and it is
safe to say that were the sugar lands
of this territory entirely dependent up
on rainfall, the 1903 crop would have
yielded little more than III, 500 tons OF
sugar.
During the vast several years the
Of hat 10 Tel lie
have been afflicted with serious pest
termed the leaf hopper which on many
estates has greatly reduced the yield
of the 1904 crop. Since gaining a foot
hold in the territory it has been noticed
on seed cane arriving from Queensland
and on Chinese cane imported for eat
ing purposes by the Chinese population.
1t was very probably received original
ly from either Queensland or China,
where it is not known as a pest, owing
to the presence Of natural enemies
which keep it in check or limitations
exerted on it's reproductive capacity
through climatic causes. An inspection
of all plants now entering the islands
is rgidly enforced, and much labor and
expense have been incurred in reducing
to a minimum the chances of receiving
insect and fungus pests from foreign
sources.
Sisal cultivation, as first started rep
resented an investment of about $37
0O0 but later, owing to the success of
the enterprise, the superior quality of
the fiber and the high price is COM
handed, the capitalization was increas-
ed to $4,000. At the present time there
are about $50 acres of land in sisal. and
it is expected that the area of the
plantations will shortly be consider
ably increased if not doubled The
possibilities for Hawaii in sisal cult
walton are shown by the number OF
plantations started on the various ISL
ands The most promising localities
for the growth of sisal have been found
to be the comparatively barren dry
soils of the leeward coasts. From the
nature Of the sisal plant requiring but
little moisture and little cultivation
there are hundreds, probably thou
sands, of acres of land with thin, stony
soil not suited for sugar cane which
can be utilized for sisal cultivation.-R

lowing Honolulu correspondence.
HONOLULU, II. J., oct. since
1897, the year before the annexation of
Hawaii by the United States, the eN-
ports from this territory have practi-
cally doubled, increasing from $13 $751;
100 during the fiscal year ending June
80. 1897, to $26,242,S6g during the year
ending June 30, 1903. Within the same
period the imports of merchandise from
the United States have more than
doubled-from $4.69OO75 in 1887 to S1O,-
S4O,47 i'm 1902. Last year the balance
of trade i'm favor of this territory was
SIS, 100000. A remarkable exhibit Is
made by comparing the trade growth
per capita Of population i'm Hawaii,
which shows an increase from Sl3l up
to S247 under annexation for every man,
woman and child i'm the territory, a
total per capita of trade that is more
than eight times greater than that Of
the trade per capita for the entire
United States. Thus:
