NEW YORK, June S.-Police Com

honest woman. He refused to give
her names Among the many letters

He had died in the service of the city
and for a long time she had been re-

police fund.

she wrote. "I am no longer entitled
to the pension. nor do need 1t. Won't
you kindly cancel it?"
Mr. McAdoo said it was the first
time in his experience as police COM
missioner that woman had 'volunta-
riy given up her pension when she
was married. Many widows of former
patromen have been, remarked, but
in his time none had notified the de-
partment, and all had accepted the
pension until discovered. In several
instances women have received PEN
sions for years after their marriage.
So pleased was Commissioner McAdoo
with the letter and deed that he wrote
thanking the woman. He would not,
however. disclose her identity "She
is honest: that is enough" he said.

COTTON AS A WORLD FACTOR
Record Breaking Crop Of Last Year
Is Significant

From Leslies Weekly
The United States record breaking
crop Of 12,162, 900 bales In 1904 will serve
to draw attention to cotton as a social
and economic factor IN the worlds
development. and to show the import
ant part which 1t plays In human So
ciety. Congress- in 1893 placed duty
of three cents a pound on cotton. never
: dreaming that 1t would one day be-
come the most important Of the coun-
try's exports. When, in 1894, John Jay
was in England to frame the treaty
under which American commerce got
its first real start, he did not know
that cotton was exported from his coun-
try or ever would be exported.
The $4,000 bales of cotton produced
by the United States in 1900 had grown
to 4,SO0,00O in 1860. In the words of
Hammond. of South Carolina. cotton
had become king among United States
products by that time. The year 1898
saw the 100000 mark in production
passed for the first time. It was never
passed afterward, except in 1899. till
1904. when the output was 12,162, 900
bales. In 1908 the farm value of the
cotton crop and its byproducts was In
the neighborhood Of s7OO,OOOo0O. In
1904. owing to the reduced price. the
value did not pass beyond that mark.
In each year. however. 1t ranked all
the other products of the soil in the
amount OF money which 1t brought the
grower. except corn.
Three-fourths of all the cotton grown
IN the world is produced in the United
ees. Twenty per cent OF the entire
AlIefican crop was manufactured in
American mills In 1860. This proper
ton, increasing faster than the produce
ton, had grown to 81 per cent in 1904,
The south, which manufactured only
$4,000 bales of cotton in 1870. as COM
pared with 777.0OO bales in the north.
only 221.OOO as compared with the
north's 1.574.OO in 1880. and only $40 900

MISSIONARY DESCRIBES THE
SUFFERERS AT CANTON
CHRISTIAN CHURCH STARTED
Rev. Or. 8. q. RossIter Points Out the
Urgent Need Of Hospital for
Care Of Afflicted
Ones
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, June 3.-The Rev. DR.
s. b. Rossiter, formerly a New York
pastor, and now in charge Of the First
Presbyterian church in Manila, has
cent TO the Presbyterian Board OF For
eign Missions an interesting story Of
the work among the lepers in Canton
China, as observed by him In a recent
visit. "Outside Canton" he says, "is
a leper village. A thousand lepers con-
gregate there. In the evening you can
see the stricken ones, clad in filthy
rags, bowed with infirmity, leaning on
canes, each one carrying begging
tray, coming from different sections of
the city. A more wretched assembly
of people cannot be found on the face
of the earth than a leper colony. To
this Canton colony had been sent a
Chinese girl who had previously come
under the teaching of the missionaries
at a time when she was in the hospital
of the medical mission. This girl, Un
Ho by name, had been in the leper col
ony about year when word came to
the Presbyterian mission that a mis-
sionary was wanted at the leper viii
lage-the lepers were beginning to be-
lieve.'
Zone of the Presbyterian mission
aries, Rev. Dr.. Andrew Beattie, al
though confessing that he shuddered at
the possible consequences Of the con-
tact, went into the colony. He found
that the poor girl, I'm Ho, had pre-
pared the way and that a church might
be formed. Twenty lepers became
members at the first, and now the
church has about one hundred MEM
bers. A chapel has been built in the
shape of an L, with the pulpit at the
intersection. On Sundays one arm of
the L is filled with lepers, and the
other with poor people from the
vicinity"
Dr. Beattie has continued in charge
of this work among the lepers, and the
great problem he has to face Is what
to do with the children. Authorities
are agreed that the children Of leprous
parents are not and need not become
tainted. But it is necessary to separ-
ate them from those who have been
touched with the disease. A school has
already been commenced for boys and
1t is nearly finished. Here they will be
kept apart from the leprous household.
But a school for girls is as much
needed, and DR.. Beattie is hoping that
1t may soon become possible.
Another need of the leper colony at
Canton, reports DR.. Rossiter, is a hos
pital, for the lepers are subject to all
the Ills that assail other people, and
contrary to the general belief that lep-
rosy is in itself such a dire disease
that others do not attack those suffer-
ing from it, the lepers do fall sick of the
ordinary diseases and hospital in
which they may be cared for is a cry
ing necessity. DIR. Beattie suggests
that hospital be built and named for
the little girl, Un Ho, by whom the
Christian work in the colony was COM
menced. He says it will soon have to
be memorial hospital. for she has not
much longer to live. Her hands will
soon drop off, and she now speaks
scarcely above a whisper. for her
throat is giving out.

IIvers Principal Address

The Daughters Of the Confederacy
yesterday held their annual memorial
services at Trinity Methodist church,
Ninth street and Grand avenue, the oc-
casion being graced with an audience
which filled the church.
The interior Of the church was taste
fully decorated with an endless variety
of flowers along the window lodges.
while on the altar was banked In beau
tiful array thousands of blossoms,
whose fragrance added to the impress
siveness of the services.
The services were opened with prayer
by Rev. A. P. Ryland, after which an
elaborate musical program was rem
dered
Attorney w. Owen Morton delivered
the principal address, in which he re-
viewed the history of the strife be-
tween the brothers of the north and
the south, and paid beautiful tribute
to the faithful women who remained
at home and bore the hardships and
privations forced upon them by the
war, ending with pledge for the south
to the patriotic reunion of country,
and challenged all in its devotion to
the starry banner which waves over
the country of both north and south.
His peroration was beautiful and i'm
pressive.

To-day, we are persuaded that per-
haps our nation has been made purer,
brighter and better by reason of the
scattering Of the flowers of knighthood
of the north and south, side by side,
upon our hallowed soil, for 1t has been
said that "a nation without ruins is

where one flag typifies the beauty and

all its strength, it's power and devo-

Southern daughters will love It.,

1t has become known that number
Of the players of various baseball
teams Of the governmental depart
ments were appointed to positions
in the government service solely for
the purpose of securing them to play
ball on the departmental teams. For
years there has been a department
league of baseball clubs In Washing
ton, which plays a series of games for
the championship of the government
service. In past years men who We're
known to have much baseball ability
were appointed to positions In one or
another of the departments and as a
result Of inquiries 1t is found that the
same condition prevails, to some extent
at least, this summer.
The statement Is made that there
are at least three outside men on the
team of the interior department, for
instance. These appointments appear
to have been made without the approx

cial knows what has happened in the
