decrease in the prevailing prices for
rosin during the same year. The val
ue of the product for the two years
follows:
Turpentine, 1908, s14,112,aT.52;
1907, $685. 3,3oe.93; rosin, 1908, s17,-

difference in the value Of the combin-
ed output of $3,704, 1928 in favor of
1907.
The figures used in determining the
value of turpentine and rosin for the
two years are based on the market
quotaticns at Savannah, the recogniz-
ed naval stores market Of the United
States. The average price received
for turpentine manufactured IN l908
was S0.3857 per gallon, and in 1907
was $0.5349 per gallon. The average
price received for rosin in 1908 was
$4.14 per barrel and in 1907 was $4.53

esting side light on this States de-
crease in production is the fact that
in the States where improved meth
DDS, either by the cup and gutter or
the cup and apron system, are most in
use that the greatest percentage OF
increased production is shown.
The production Of more than &c.
100000 gallons Of turpentine and
more than 100000 barrels Of rosin;
with a valuation of more than $l4,-
100000 for the turpentine and nearly
$l8,000,000 for the rosin, summarizes
the output Of the naval stores indus
trv for all States in 1905, according
to the preliminary report Of the Unit
ed States Forest Service just COM
pleted. The study was provided for
in special appropriation Of $4,000
by congress and the report contains
the most complete and accurate sta
tistics ever gathered for the naval
stores industry in this country and
covers the production for both 1907
and 1908, giving comparative figures
for the two years.
Of the eight Southern States, each
producing more than 100000 gallons
Of turpentine and $4,000 barrels Of
rosin, Florida leads the list with H.
O3O,3OO gallons of turpentine in 1905
against 15,572,7OO gallons in 1907, and
1.932,l14 barrels Of rosin in 1908
against 1,774.370 barrels in 1907.
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou

lima, and Texas follow in the order
named. The comparative report OF
the production by States is as fol-

The increase in production for 1905
over 1907 was due to more favorable
weather and labor conditions than to
increased operations. But few opera
tors increased their operations, owing
to the disorganized conditions of the
market at the time operations COM
menced. Figures upon which the re-
ports Of production for the two years
is based were secured by a system Of
correspondence and personal visits to
the points of production by agents of
the Forest Service.

Coroner Lays in Grave-clothes Letters
Found After Death-Funeral
Passes Gay Throng.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-In the
folds of her shrroud the material evil
dence of the death secret Of Mrs.
Pierre IorilDard, Jr., is sealed with
i1er body tonight on its final journey
to the grave. The funeral party left
the Lorillard residence at 5 O'Clock
this afternoon for New York. At the
old home of the Lor1illards at Irving
ton-on-Hudson the casket will be in
terred tomorrow.
The departure from the clty fur
rished another of the dramatic events
which have characterized the deatn
bv suicide of this prominent woman.
Ait the very hour when the first social
circles of THE capital, in which Mrs.
LorlElard had been accorded such a
PROMINENT pant, were crowdlng arls6o-
cratic Massachusetts, avenue, the body
of the deceased was driven rapidly
down THAT tb'oroughfare toward the
station. The husband, one Of the ia
NOUS Lor:Mlards of the tobacco busl-
ness and prominent clubman and
sportsman, and his son, Pierre, by
their own preference We're the only
mOurnerS.
The funeral ceremonies had been
conducted at 1890 o'clock. A few OF
Mrs. Lombard most intimate
friends, principally those who gather
ed with her the night of her death at
the dinner given by Mrs. Richard
Townsend, We're present. Among those
were the Belgian minister and Baron
ess Moncheur, Mrs. Chauncey Depew,
M1s. Meyer, wife of the secretary OF
the navy, and Hon. Maude Paunee-
fote, daughter of the former British
ambassador ito this country. Rev. Ro-
land Cotton Smith of St. John s Epis-
copal church oficiated at the services,
(which occupied only half an hour.
Shortly afterward the most drama
tic event of the day occurred, when
DR.. J. Ramsey hewitt, the coroner,
laid away i'm the folds of the Shroud
two notes and the mysterious trinkets
found on Mrs. LoaHiRlard's body after
her death. Contrary to the. general
understanding, Mrs. LorIllard wrote
neither of the notes after she return
ed from the Townsend dinner. 1t is
believed that THE only words she wrote
ON the morning of her death we're on
an envelope that contained the notes
aand the trilkets. They were: BURY
LIS with nv body unopened. - The
ink witls which these words were writ
ten had been freshly smeared over
the face cf the envelope. Its fresh
mess was iii marked contrast with the
ink of the 1.-TWO notes.
Another fact that has been brought
cut is that one of the notes was adj
dressed to Mrs. Lorlllard and was in
tihe handwriting Of another person.
The second note had been written by
Mrs. Loril1ard evidently many days
before her death. The note to Mrs.
Lorillard is said to have been address
ed to 7her i'm All informal way.
The trinkets consisted Of chain, to
which were attached some pendants of
little intrinsic value, reminding those
who have be!leld them Of the high
sJlnocl days OF girls.

t,inketS we're placed was not found
