FIGHTS 1RAVELY WITH THE ICY
WATERS OF THE HUDSON BUT
SINKS WITH DAUGHTER.

New York.-Unmindfu of the icy
cold of the Hudson, and his 70 years,
Capt. Henry Rice, skipper of a big
scow, leaped from her deck in futile
effort to save his daughter, Mrs. Helen
Block, 81 years old, widow. Both
were drowned while Frank Hauscruck-
er was, vainly striving to aid them.
Mrs. Block and Hauscrucker were to
have been married few days ago,
and Capt. Rice was to depart aboard
his scow for some distant point, which
would prevent his attendance at the
wedding. His daughter and Haus-
crucker promised to pay a farewell
visit to the skipper, and Capt. Rice

but an expert can detect it. The
writer has seen cases that look
to be only a slight skin affection
and If a doctor had not accident
