Washington. D. c., November ID
Leroy Percy, a prominent banker and
cotton grower in Mississippi, was a
visitor at the white. house where he
discussed with the president the mat
ter Of moving the cotton crop IN the
south. Mr.. Percy said he. could not
speak for the president, but ne pre-
dicted that the 10 per cent Of emer-
gency deposits drawn from New
York banks yesterday would be sent
to banks in the south and west.
Percy spoke with seeming author
ity, and there is no longer any doubt
Of the fact that relief is to be civ

Vigils of Lighthouse Keepers.
C lie, d-FIerald.

Chi; &C lie. ord-Herald.
\ French writer, telling ot ::le lie
Of the lighthouse keepers along the
coast Of Brittany, thinks It strange
thai any Of them escape insanity.
The system of relief that prevails
in t;lis country has no equivalent in
tire French service and with short in
tervals, months apart, a French light
house keeper may send forty years of
his life tending the lamps in one sta
ton, with single companion, aid
that station may be on a rock out in
about the safest place on earth to
which boats can approach only in
fine weather.
AS matter Of fact, the men often
do become insane or at least develop
mono-mania. Sometimes it takes the
form of hatred Of each other.
In one case, at Terennec, one Of two
men was found by party who came
off from the shore in response to sig
mails lying dead in his bed with a
long, keenlbladed knife through his
heart.
His companions story was that he
had committed suicide after long
period of melancholia. There was no
proof to the contrary, but after ex-
amining the wound the authorities
doubted the truth Of the story.
On another occasion, where father
and son tended an isolated beacon to-
gether, the young man was seized
with an attack of acute mania. When
the time came to light up he planted
himself in front Of the stairway to the
lantern and refused to allow his faith
er to ascend.
The old man attacked MS son. and
finding he could subdue him in no
other way. so that the lights on which
so many lives depended might be kin
died. strangled him to death. The next
day he sienaled to the shore for help
and gave himself up to the police, tell
inc what he had done.

" aShngiun. November 14.-fEeSl-
dent RooseyeltWoday gave publicity
to a letter he aas received from c. ".
Macara. president Of the Internatlon-
al Federation of Master Cotton Spin
ners' and Manufacturers Assocla-
ton. dated at Manchester, England,
November E.
The letter speaks in most optlmls-
tie terms of the future of the cotton
Industry in the United States and OF
the benefits derived from the Allan
ia Convention and the southern tour
Of the members of the Federation.
The letter follows:
II beg to acknowledge the receipt
of YOUR valued letter Of October IS.
1.-THE interest which YOU have
shown in the aims Of the Iaterna-
1ional Federation Of Master Cotton
Spinners' and Manufacturers Asso-
citation under whose auspices the de-
legation. representing the cotton US
inc countries Of Europe. visited Amer
lea, will be matter Of intense sat1s-
faction. not only to the delegation
itself, but to every member OF the
International Federation
1.-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. a7d Of the cotton planters OF
the Southern States Of America. 1t
undoubtedly marks an epoch in the
history Of the cotton industry.
Gas 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 impossible 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 atethe Atlanta
Convention.
'sThe 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 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 un-
limited resources in many respects,
and especially in regard to the pro-
duction Of co.,: We believe onr
visit will have in some measure stlm-
uIated the cotton planters to 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
lean 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

II is 10 .woHder t:iat weird fancies
ccme 10 The men. They hea: voices
calling from the sea and see drown
ed men and women looking up at them
from the breakers. One Of their hor-
rorS is Of the birds that beat against
the windows of the lantern at night
attracted by the glare.
Just as is the case with American
lighthouses. the feathered armies that
migrate at night beat against the
walls and balconies Of the beacons
with their wings and dash against tie
panes of the lantern, sometimes break
ing the glass with their beaks. AS
their eyes shine in the glare they
seem to express anger or bloodthirsti-
ness to the men within.
One cf tie most pi!iful stories Of
li=n: !|ouSe life is told of the keeper
al Four en- Finisterre. who kept all
alone station CT an isolated rock a
couple Of mile: out from the shore,
but so surf beaten that only once a
month or so was a boat sent out to
it with supplies.
Tie cabin in which the keeper made
his home was on the shore opposite
his lighthouse, and the recreation he
most enjoyed was watching it through
his telescope. lie could see the peo-
pie 90 in and out and the children
playing in front Of it.
One day he saw somethin" flutter-
ing from a doorjamb. He was puz-
zled. Then it flashed On him that it
was Grape and that some one nad
died in the house.
Was it his mother, he wondered: OF
his wife or one Of his brothers? lie
counted the children ,.:S" =: *: d.:
and they we're all right.
Tie wind blew and the water rag
ed. No boat could come near him
and he watched the crowd Of sympa-
thizign friends come and 60. Then
he saw the funeral.
He recognized the cure at the head
Of the procession by his white sur.
plice and the altar boys walking be-
side him. Then came the cofin,' car
ried by six men.
AS the mourners walked after it he
strained and strained his eyes trying
to Identify each and thus determine
the missing one. But in vain; al
walked with bowed head; the wo.
mems faces were buried in theil
handkercniefs; the men held theil
hats before theirs. He could make
out nothing characteristic.
The men who, eight days later
risked their lives to row out to hin
and break the news Of his wife's
death found him a physical and men
tai wreck from sleepless anxiety. But
: he had kept the light burning faith
fully all the time.
Then French Eghthouse-keepers re
ceive from 700 to $50 frances a veal
$40 to $3.50. When they are worc
out they retire on a pension Of $3.50
a month.
