DIED. -- MISS RACHEL FORD on Friday, September 5th, after an illness of some six or eight years. Her disease baffled the skill of our physicians but is thought to have been brought about by "jumping the rope", years ago. She was very active and is known to have jumped the rope as high as two hundred times without stopping.
