The Sargasso Sea.-Captain s. A.
Beauchant, commanding Albyn steam
ship Thistletoe, has sent a report to
the imperial merchant service guild OF
Japan on his experience in a mysteri-
GUS stretch Of sea in the Atlantic, call
ed the Sargasso Sea, which is almost in
a line with the Gulf of Mexico, about
500 miles southeast Of the Bermudas.
1t Is said to have been discovered by
Columbus, who was involved in 1t for
a fortnight. II sailed from Norfolk,
Va, for Rio de Janeiro, South Ameri-
ca, on May l." runs the captains re-
port "On the next day we fell In with
the gulf of weeds, and day after day
we passed through large patches that
were spread all over the ocean as far
as the eye could see. About 5 p. m. on
May Z. the temperature Of the sea wat
er suddenly rose twenty degrees, and
noticed that small objects were floating
around the different patches Of weeds.

to be red-brown berries. The sea wa

millions of small jellyfsh and "Portu-

the patches between the weeds were full

But have you ever seen a girl sit

coldly. Please answer me. Have

little pause during which the owner
had remained silent. She shook her
head in emphatic negation. "And do
you understand why? It's simply be-
cause every girl knows that the man

pathos in the rich timbre Of it, mine

Mary regarded the owner Of the

MY dear old friend:
II have Just received yours Of Octo'

I know 1t comes from an honest heart
and one whose whole being is perme-
ated with sincerity and goodness. You
speak about your sorrow at hearing
me talk about getting old and being
sick You know it is true, so why be
sad about It? We have all got to die
sometime and realize very fully that
my time to go to the great beyond is
not far off, The idea is not worrying
me at all, although have not got that
peace Of mind which you seem to pos
sess in regard to the hereafter. / sim
ply have a hope-a very strong hope
but not much faith.
II am taking the best care Of myself
as far as know how to do 1t, and you
win be rejoiced, know, to learn that
myself believe that / am gradually
improving. But the progress Is very,
very gradual. I do not allow anything
to worry me, but throw it off and go
on doing my duty as understand It.
yT am mailing you copy OF DR..
Bledsoe's, The Mission Of Woman
and also copy Of my speech on "Wo-
man Suffrage You seem to like it 80
well that you may want to have 1t In
that form, and it is possible that your

ten thousand copies Of it printed.
II will reproduce in the Record to-
morrow, and in pamphlet form the
day after, an article wrote for the
New York World in 1896, giving my
view on Wall street and the deviltry
those scoundrels perpetuated on the
farmers of the south and west. know
you will enjoy it.
II am sending you also little poem
which came across last summer in an
old newspaper. 1t has afforded me
great deal Of comfort, and it gives
most cheerful view Of death and the
grave. know you will enjoy reading
It.
Il note your tone Of unhappiness
about the normal condition Of our peo-
pie, and you lament at what said
about South Carolina Is not true. They
are becoming more demoralized every
day in a political way, 1t seems to me,
and Governor Blease appears to be ag-
gravating conditions in every way pos
sible. The blind tigers gamblers and
whore mongers appear to be running
the state in a way, and now they are
trying to buy votes in the primary.
But we cannot afford to despair Of the
old state, and all Of us who are old
enough to remember the better ideals
of the past, ought to hold fast to those
ideals and try to teach the younger
generation to rise to them, rather than
drag down the state from the customs
Of their forefathers.

The LONGEST Arrow Flight.-A

The Longest Arrow Flight.-A men,
orable summer in sport has one more
new champion to honor. A record that
had stood since 1894 was broken when
w. lingo Simon, an Englishman, shot
an arrow a distance of more than a
quarter of a mile. The official measure
ment of the new mark was 459 yards.
This achievement Is pointed out as a
result of the oldest and most scientific
of sports. Another achievement Of
modern archery, fully as remarkable as
thi sfeat of Mr.. Simon's, was that of
an American Henry B. Richardson,
when he entered the Ancient Scroton
Arrow" contest in England few years
ago and made the highest tournament
score that had been recorded in the
Scroton's books in 234 years.
In the past ten years the number of
archers has steadily increased. A gen.
Grafton ago the sport had almost as
many followers in America as golf, and
and some Of the modern enthusiasts
are confident that this popularity Is re-
turning. These lovers Of archery say
that no truer sentence was ever writ
ten than that penned by Maurice
Thompson in 1879:
$50 long as the new moon returns IN
heaven a bent. beautiful bow, so long
will the fascination of archery keep
hold of the hearts Of me-"
1.-The bow" writes Thompson, "is the
old first Tyre, the monochord, the initial
rune of fine arts, and is as inseparably
connected with the history Of culture
as are the alphabets Of the learned Ian
guages. The humanities grew from
archery as a flower from a seed. No
sooner did the soft, sweet note of the
bowstring charm the ear than music
was born, and from music came poetry
and painting and sculpture.-Collier's
Weekly.

NEW YORK LETTER


By Norman.
New York, Feb. 1.-Marcus
Loew, oneof New York's richest
theatrical men, who has vaude-
vile and picture houses all over
the city, was born in the cold
eleventh ward, away down on the
East Side.
Within. the past year he has
built an $4,000 'theater on the
very site of his birthplace, at
Fifth street and Avenue B. 1t is
of white marble; the decorations
and furnishing are rich and beau
tiful. 1t is a theater that would
grace a Fifth avenue location and
charm a Fifth avenue audience.
Looming up amidst the tene-
ments and saloons of lower New
York's foreign quarter, it is a
striking monument to a mans
love for the people and the sur
roundings of his early days.
Many other men have risen to
distinction from the "old elev-
enth'-lawyers, Judges, politi-
clans, doctors, merchants. Loew
invited them all to attend the
opening night performance of
the new theater, and celebrate
with him.
They came, with many others
of the "old eleventh" who have
not risen to fame and honor.

after the shouting and the tumult
had died, Mr.. Loew discovered
that a valuable jeweled stickpin

And the police captain, also a ia
vorite son Of the "old eleventh,
suffered the extreme annoyance
of having his gold badge swiped
from an inner pocket of his citi-
zens' clothes.

been made, Mr.. Loew said he

NEW YORK, oct. 20-Mrs. Emme-
line Pankhurst, leader Of the English
militants, was set free by the immi-
grafton authorities to-day as soon as
they received official notification that
Commissioner General Caminetti had
found her not guilty Of moral tur-
pitude" and within an hour she made
public speech before crowd that
thronged the Battery
Mrs. Pankhurst left Ellis Island on
Government tug at 1890 o'clock
and landed twenty minutes later at
the Battery. She had been accom-
panied across the bay by 25 ardent
sufragettes who had gone to the is
land earlier in the day to sereDade
her, and when she left the boat she
found awaiting her a crowd Of sew
eral hundred, mostly women, who
cheered wildly for the liberated
woman.
When the ovation at the Battery
had ended, Mrs Pankhurst thanked
the crowd for the reception it had
given her, and then talked at length
with the newspaper men.

Commissioner Of immigration Re-

Pankhurst From Country.

WASHINGTON. oct 2O-Federal
Commissioner of immigration Anto-
Mo Caminetti to-day revoked the or
der OF the special board of inquiry de-
porting Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst.
the famous British suffragette, and
directed that she be allowed to enter
the country.
Commissioner Caminetti decided
that Mrs. Pankhurst should be ad-
mitted on her own recognizances on
these grounds:
/. Because of doubt on the question
Of moral turpitude
,. Because she can be prosecuted in
the United States courts if she vio-
lates the law
3. Because she can be deported If
she violates the law.
Caminettis decision came at the
close of a conference held between
high officials to-day to determine
whether Mrs. Pankhurst should be
allowed to enter the United States or
whether she should be deported "as
an undesirable alien"
Wilson Sets New Precedent.
A new precedent in conducting na-
tional affairs was set by President
Wilson when he in person took
up the question of admitting Mrs.
Pankhurst It was the first that the
nations Executive ever had set in
Judgment in a matter involving the
admission Of a foreigner barred by
the immigration authorities.
Hitherto this decision had always
been left to the Federal Commission
er of immigration and the Secretary
Of Commerce and Labor.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson and
Commissioner General Of Immigra-
ton Caminetti were invited to the
White House for a conference with
the President on the question Of re-
verslng the decision Of the special
board of inquiry which ordered the
deportation Of Mrs Pankhurst.
During the morning a deluge Of
kilograms descended upon the White
House, the general tenor Of the ap-
peaIs being that Mrs. Pankhursts po-
litical ideals are Identical with those
of Americans.

Hamilton Douglas
Coils Cross Country
3 Mi. in 1859 Strokes

Growing enthusiasm in the game or
golf among Atlantans reached a eli
max Sunday when Hamilton Douglas,
welI-known lawyer and dean of the
Atlanta Law School, accepted a wager
of $50 with W. J. Gregory that he
could play a ball cross-country from
the first tee at the Capital City Coun-
try Club into the postoffice at Buck
head in 600 strokes.
Cold and windy as it was yester-
day morning, Mr.. Douglas began his
play with great zest, accompanied by
three caddies to make sure of the
count. He shot over gullies, around
trees and through back yards, arriv-
ing at Buckhead well under 200
strokes.
When he surveyed the land pre-
paratory to putting into the postofiice
there was no postt4Fice there. But
he putted away into the main drug
store of the village, his total number
of strokes being 169. The distance
was something over two miles.
Who wins the bet?

PRISON
Convicts Cheer Hawthorne and
Hiss Meyers Supporters.
Guard Is Doubled.

Officials at the Federal Prison we're
disturbed Monday by the menacing
spirit of discomfort among the 1900
inmates following an open outburst Of
defiance Sunday when the name of
Julian Hawthorne was cheered and
Sunday school workers who had up
held Warden Meyer were hissed.
Guards at the penitentiary have
been ordered to keep a stricter watch
than ever as a result of the trouble.
The disaffection amounted to a vir-
tual mutiny. II first manifested it
self during the chapel services Sun
day morning when the prisoners ap-
peared to pay little attention to the
exhorters. Ordinarily after the chapel
service four or five hundred prisoners
attend Sunday school

had been arranged that boycott was

false the charges made by Julian
Hawthorne.
AS the prisoners filed by the
amazed church workers there were
shouts Of "Hurrah for Hawthorne"
and "Hurrah for Morton" The out
break was so alarming that at mess
the guard was doubled. A number of
the women church workers were in
tears.

most at once, while the snow, after
falling quite briskly for a quarter of
an hour disappeared from the air
and the pavements.
The only other snow that has fall

the last "a years was that Of Octo-

breaks that record by nearly a week.
The two early SHOWS were about the
same in texture and quantity Of
flakes
Then the sun came out, and by 1880
o'clock the streets were beginning to
dry.
The early snow appeared to be
