Bishop McFaul spoke against the
evils of socialism and divorce. THE
liability of this nation rests upon the
American home" he said. Socialism
would stretch out her foul hands upon
the property of our people. Look at
Maxim Gorky, the Russian socialist,

upon Russia. Sc him living with a
woman who cannot be recognized as
his wife. That villain and scoundrel
and polluter of womanhood would
preach TO us the gospel Of human lib

Pastor of Negro Church In
wells Memorial Window in
Honor of Gen. Jackson.

Roanoke, Va, July pa handsome
memorial window in honor of General
Thomas (StonewalrD Jackson. was un-
yelled in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church (negro) today. The window was
erected by the pastor, Rev. L. L. Down

wholly from negroes. The exercises were
largely attended by both races, the Con-
federate camps of Roanoke and Salem and
the chapters of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy of the same place being well
represented. DoHsng's father and moth
er were members of q Sunday school
class of negro slaves, taught by Jackson
at Lexington before the war, and to-
days exercises marked the realization of
an ambition Downing has had since boy
hood to pay fitting tribute to the Con-
federate commander. The picture pre-
scented in the window is that of an army
camping on the banks of a stream, the
inscription underr cath being Jackson

Eight Lives Lost on Hereford
Island Bar off Coast of
New Jersey.
FINE WORK OF LIFE SAVERS
HEROIC MEN RISK THEIR OWN
LIVES.

Anglesea, \. j., July 29.-Two yachts
coming in from the fishing banks cap
sized on Hereford inlet bar off here to-
day, and so far as can be ascertained
tonight eight persons lost their lives.
There We're thirty-twO persons on one
yacht, of whom seven were lost and
twelve OH the other, all of whom but
one were saved. That not more fell
victims to the rough sea was due to
the heroism of Captain Henry S. Lud-
lam of the Hereford Inlet life-SaVing
station and a crew of five men. 1t
was at first thought that from fourteen
to twenty-eicht persons had been lost,
but after an investigation the coroner
tonight stated the he believed only
eight were lost. His list is as follows:
Bodies Recovered.

Calamity Rescued.

After hanging to me yacht for near
ly all hour government lifeboat COM
manded by Captain Henry S. Ludlam
of the Hereford Inlet life-saving sta
ton, hove in sight and after some ma
neuvering managed to get. close to the
capsized vessel. He was not moment
too soon, for as he came within
boats length of the Nora four men,
weakened from exhaustion, let GO their
holds and began floating away. Cap
tain Ludlam threw his boat around and
the four half-drOwned men were drawn
out of the water. Then, at the risk of
their own lives, the resCuers went after
the other men and pulled them into the
boat. The rescue was most propitious,
as the rough sea was constantly pound
ing the 1ifeboat against the keel of the
yacht. The survivors were transferred
to the sloop yacht Violet and taken
ashore.

The Second Accident.

4 Shortly after the survivors Of the
Nora were brought ashore another
yacht, the Alvin B., was seen TO capsize
about a mile above the place where the
Nora went over. There were several
boats in the vicinity at the time, and
all but one person were saved. The AL
vim b. was owned by E. L. Hallman, a
lawyer of Pottsville, Pa. He and a
party OF friends were on board at the
time.
One of the survivors of the Nora said
tonight that, had it not been for the
prompt assistance of Captain Ludlam
and his crew, every person on board
probably would have been drowned.
He said that when the Nora overturned
it was everybody for himself There
was a great Iangle of fishing lines and
nets and it was, no doubt. due TO this
that so many were unable to reach the
capsiZed boat.

Many Excursion Parties.

Anglesea is one of the favorite fish
ing places along the New Jersey coast,
and has seldom had a buster day than
today. Every excursion train from
Philadelphia and other nearby points
came down crowded with visitors, most
of them intending)tO spend the day in
fishing. The weather in the morning
was ideal. and all the fishing boats
took out large crowds tc the fishing
banks. During the afternoon, however,
a brisk breeze Sprang up, and the cap
tains of the small craft hoisted sail and
steered for home. Many of the fleet got
i'm without mishap, although some of
them mad considerable difficulty in
clearing the Hereford bar.
