ALOHA WEATHERS BIG SEAS
Commodore James's Flagship in
Port After Hard Voyage.

New London. Conn. Dec. 9.-Commodore
Arthur Curtiss James's auxiliary brgantine
yacht Aloha arrived in port this noon after
a tempestuous voyage from Southampton.
England. The flagship OF the New York
Yacht Club came direct from St. George,
Bermuda Islands, where she was forced TO
seek harhor a week ago.
The Aloha started for New London from
southampton on November /. and four hur-
ricanes were encountered on the way across
the Atlantic. The westerly wind blew the
Yacht off her course. and her log showed
that she had covered a total of 1854 miles,
nearly 1000 miles more than the usual run
from Southampton TO this port.
Il have been a deep sea sailor for many
years. said the Aloha's sailing master.
Captain P. V Bezanzon. but this trip
across the Atlantic was the toughest 1 ever
encountered When we struck the westerly
hurricanes the Aloha. made very little head
way. in fact, only thirty miles in four
days
Captain Bezanzon said the hurricane
played havoc with the new flagship. and
her hull and spars were racked by the
waves that swept across her decks.
Commodore and Mrs. James did not re-
turn on the Aloha They left the yacht at
Leith. Scotland. and took passage or the
Lusit ania.

Travellers returning from Europe
with pearl necklaces bought abroad
must pay a iewelry duty Of sixty
per cent on the foreign cost.
Marcus & Company import their
pearls as they come from India, and
pay the unset pearl duty of ten per
cent. on the original cost The
pearls are then most carefully sorted
and assembled and strung into neck
Iaces, in accordance with the critical
requirements of the American buy
ers. 1t is not only economy to buy
here, but one has also a feeling Of
security In buying at home which
one rarely has In purchasing abroad.
1t is such a matter of confidence,
that most Americans prefer to deal
with their own people. whom they
know and trust, to relying upon
their own Judgment under foreign
surroundings and foreign influences.
Marcus & Company offer every
facility for the careful and critical
examination of pearls under natural

tide majority. His narrow mar
gin is disappointing to his active
adherentS and speaks in plain
and unmistakable language that
he is not unifying his party. The
contest between Bertram and
Powers in reality, was not polit-
ical and the heavy slump does
not indicate political change,
but a rebuke administered by
several thousand OF as good Re-
publicans as can be found in the
entire country. The Democrats,
solid against Powers, are indeed
grateful to the many Republi-
cans who voted with them in this
contest. They recognize in them
the highest duty performed at
the sacrifice of party irregulari-
ty. The result speaks to the out
side country that the spirit of
freedom, honor, integrity and ad-
vancement is not dead in the
Eleventh but only temporarily
handicapped. Three counties
now stand out jewels in this dis
trict-diamonds that adorn their
political record, Adair Laurel
and Wayne, while Russell county
striving to enter barely failed.
While we have no figures on the
standing of the next Congress
indications point to a Democrat
ic body.
The greatest blessing to the
Republican party and the entire
country came in the bolt that hit
Teddy, their severest loss, the
defeated Beverage. The richest
morsel to Democrats was the
strong protest against Powers
and their severest loss Senator
Bertram. The vote OF Adair
