 eant by Example He win Fcrege HI=
 Usual Vacation and Devote the Time to
 AetiF. Work at the stanton Street Mis-
 sion, Making 1t His Abode for the Next
 Four Weeks.
 NEW YORK, July 14.-Forsaking the comforts of his residence in Washing ton square north, the spacious accom- modation of the Episcopal mansion in Lafayette place, where his study is as big hall. and foregoing his usual European tour or a season at New port, Rt- Rev. Henry c. Potter, bishop of New York, is about to take up his abode for the four succeeding weeks of the summer amid the slums and tene- ments of the old Tenth ward.
 The Cathedral mission, No 130 Stan ton street, formerly known as the Old Epiphany house, will be the home of the distinguished head of the diocese of New York for the coming month. There he will live. sleep and eat and perform the duties which devOlve upon the minister in charge of the mission while the latter is absent on his vaca- tion.
 III HIS dAluItSo DGlOEG biit NtioCtsdh convention last September, Bishop Pot ter told his clergy about the work that is being done in Stanton street for the downtown east side, and suggested to them that they arrange, each one of them, to spend a week or more every year, so that they might become con versant with the workings of this most important factor in bettering the con- ttftien of unfortunate humanity
 Without any flourish of trumpets. and unknown to all excepting d few of the most intimate associates, Bishop Potter has quietly so arranged affairs that he may pass four weeks in active work in the Stanton street mission, and thus set an example to his sub- ordinates throughout the city.
 The square mile in the center of which the mission stands contains over $50. 900 persons, and IS said to be the most densely populated square mile in the world. One block, the one directly opposite the mission, is crowded at the rate of a million to the square mile.

The Arctic, the name of the ifl-fated yacht, was built here by Messrs. Coates S Stilson The owner. who did not live to enjoy his possession, was NJ S Ellsworth. Last Tuesday the yacht was launched from the yards of the firm in this city. To-day it was decided to take the boat to Sag atuck for trial sail, and the party consisted of the owner and builders.
 There was only slight breeze blow ing on the lake and an easy and en- joyable trip was expected. All went well until the boat was about two miles out from here. Observers from shore report that they saw the yacht suddenly roll over keel up and sink before any of the victims on board had chance to keep a1oat by clinging to anything.
 The members of the life-saving crew were at once notified of the disaster, and pulled their boat with all possible speed to the scene. They were too | late to pick up anything except cap baIonorino to one of the drowned men, The accident is all the more distress ing on account of the fact that all three were married and leave families.
