PANIC ON EXCURSION BOAT.
Result Of Collision in New York
Harbor,

A dispatch from New York last night
says: With 1000 passengers aboard, COM
ing from Coney Island, the steamboat Cyg-
nus Of the Iron Steamboat Company was
in collision early tonight with the steam
boat Dimock Of the Metropolitan Steamboat
Company, which has just arrived from Bos-
ton. 1t was a head-on collision, and the
bow, deck and rails Of the Cygnus were
torn and shattered. She was not seriously
damaged below the water line and SO es-
capped sinking.
Fright prevailed on the Cygnus at the
moment of the collision, and, after the
women and children became hysterical with
fear cool work on the part of the deck
hands and male passengers was all that
prevented many from jumping overheard.
All Of the passengers were landed safely at
the Battery. The Dimock escaped with
slight injuries.

''Rubdry''
Bath Towels

Are entirely new and wholly differ
ent from the Turkish towels we are
accustomed to. The makers have
employed the long-hber Egyptian
cotton in the manufacture and thus
overcome the annoyance so common
in most towels, namely, giving off of
lint and pulling out of threads.
The absence of starch or whiten-
ing and the presence of absorbent
qualities to an unusual degree are
features worthy of consideration.
! Made in a convenient bath size, hem
stitched ends and handsomely fin
ished.
Price, soc.
Now on display in one of our F
street windows and in Linen Depart
ment, second floor, Eleventh street.

The ssNeW Victor"
Sewing Machine.

For years purchasers of Sewing
Machines have been under the neces-
sity of paying fancy prices.
When we set about planning the
"New Victor" Sewing Machine we
eliminated all unnecessary expense,
and got the price right down to a
minimum.
You see the result, in this splendid,
noiseless, easy-running, economical
ly-priced Ball-bearing Sewing Ma
chine. 1t is up to date and equal to
the best-machines that you'd pay
$1,000 to $500 for. Price begins at
$500. The working parts are the
same through the entire list, but
more elaborate cabinet work brings
the price up to $4,000 in some in
stances.
Come in and see them before you
start away for the summer; also
The "Comfort''
Hand Attachment
for Sewing Machines.
Many women are physically unable to tread q
sewing machine, but the sewing must be done,
and a hand machine is too slow, or they don't
feel like paying its price. -
The Comfort Hand Attachment can be at.
tached to your own sewing machine in a moment,
and you can run it as rapidly by hand as by foot.
1t is worth knowing about.
