land a Bold One.

Since Penn vreeland resigned from the
Greenville Yacht Club and assisted in the
organization of the New York Bay Yache
Club these organizations LAY been rivals.
This rivalry has been increased by the
claims regarding thesabiity of the craft

of each organization. This has all been
added TO. however, by the challenge
which has just been issued by c. D..
Mcclellan of Bayonne and owners of the
fast catboat Ensign, of the Gfeenville
Club, to Penn Vreeland, owner of the
smart cabin catboat Lizzie V. The latter
was built last winter on lines sharp

in her class afioat and more particularly
the Ensign. She has showed her ability
in a number of trials, bat for all the

her superior, consequently the challenge
which has been issued by the Ensign's
captain for a series OF best three in five

carriage dresses and gowns, to be worn
at any daylight functions, the shape
known as the Princess, has always
been adhered to, the toilet being inva-

Her evening dresses, although the text

SUDDEN DEATHS.

From the Globe Democrat.

ever present dsdgcr sadSkaf dssss,
aud like all truisms, 1t grows dull to
the general ear after time. Yet IL
Is startling certainty, as the record
for the year just closed shows. As
far as recorded, the loss of life by
shipwreck, was 4. .250 by railway
accidents, 9,632; and by other caus-
ualties, over $4,000. Add 10 these
dismal figures the 5,759 reported
murders in the United States alone,
and we have total OF 81, Sal violent
deaths, or an average Of over one
hundred for every day in the year.
Even life insurance advocate could
hardly find a moie eloquent iliustra'
ton of the ever impending possibili-
ty of an untimely taking off, espe-
cially IL there could be added to the
dismal list the vastly greater num-
Der who are dying daily OF what are
known to medical men as accidental
