eral hours to-day the captain and
seven members of the crew of the

AGAIN BROKE THE RECORD.
Twenty-Six Thousand Words Copied in
Day by Miss Pretty.

The typewriter record of the patent Of
flee force has again been lifted a few
notches. About year ago Miss Emma q.
Brashears of the assignment division OF
that office made a wonderful record by
thousand than had ever been attempted
there before. This division is devoted to
the copying of patent records and the work
must be accurate to a superlative degree.
Miss Brashears' record stood for several
months, but was beaten by a newly ap-
pointed typist, Miss Mary T.. Pretty of
Philadelphia, who made a record run one
day and found at the close of the after
Moons work that she had recorded 22o0O
words with her machine, which was great
er by several thousand than Miss BRASIL
ears had been able to do. The work of
these two capable young women inspired
the otherS to try fast tipping, too. but no
one had been able to equal Miss Pretty's
performance until about a month ago, when
MISS cameron of Pennsylvania was appoint
ed TO place in the assignment division
and celebrated her appointment by rafting
OH SboD words during days work.
MISS Cameron's performance was such an
event that 1t was published throughout the
east, and the officials of the office were
bothered for week or more afterward
with requests from photographers for per-
mission to photograph the fast typist for
the newspapers. Miss Pretty came in for
some of the glory accorded Miss Cameron
as she had fallen but a thousand short of
the big record. Miss Pretty held the head
OF the list so long, it seems that she did
nor relish being beaten. and consequently
last week she settled down to her machine
and ground out exactly 26.000 words I'm one
day, beating her own record by 200 and
Miss Cameron's by 5000.

topsy will be performed on the body to de-
termine the cause of death.
