RAGGED FROM BEACH.
Passengers on Jersey Shore Shocked
by Adam-and-Eye

AT jersey Shore, Pa, shocking re-
ports of carelessness regarding bath
ing there have bobbed up from time
to time. The costumes worn by
these frolicsome bathers have been
the cause of complaint. In fact, the
costumes have been overlooked en-
tirely, and it is this that the town
authorities object to-
Passengers on the trains and Crol-
ley cars passing the river have told
stories whereby they gaZed with a
dread curiosity on the water frolics.
Time was when the Garden of Eden
effect was confined entirely to the
men, but now women have been add
ed. This calls for decisive action,
say those in control.
So the police were given special
orders to keep a lookout for those
who pooh-pooh conventional garb,
and officers carried out instructions
to the letter. Even, ii is said, that
some of the women who disported
themselves in this highly unusual
manner are prominent socially; but
this Is discredited.

AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Miss Julia Wannamaker a Victim
of the Undertow.
SWEET YOUNG GIRL

From Orangeburg Swept or Her
Feet and Out to Sea While Surf
Bathing, Near Station 10, on SuI-
livan's Island, Heroic Efforts to
Save Her Failing-Two Others
Narrowly Escape.
Caught in the merciless grin of the
undertow, in water barely waist deep
Miss Julia Wannamaker, the beauti-
full young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Heber Wannamaker, of Orangeburg.
was drowned while in surf bathing on
Sullivan's Island, opposite the street
leading from station No. 10, near the
rocks, late Friday afternoon. Mrs.
Joe Bell, of Charleston, and Miss
Pauline Cart, of Orangeburg, mar
rowly escaped a like fate, being saw
ed only after the most heroic efforts.
The following account of the sad af-
fair is taken from The News and
Courier:
The three ladies named and Prof.
Francis l.. Parker entered the surf
about $3.50 O'Clock. The tide at thu.
hour was dead low ana still running
out. They found that. although the
water was comparatively shallow, be-
ing not more than wist deep. the un-
dertow was so swift that they were
unable to retain their footing. The
ladies called to Prof. Parker that the
undertow had them. He quickly
seized them, punched them togeLner
and called for help.
Mr.. Tom Buist, of Charleston, was
the first to reach them, and Prof
Parker turned over Miss Wannama-
ker, who had become panic stricken,
to him. 1t had been very necessary,
however, for Mr.. Buist to make a
long run up the beach before reach
ing them and he was practically ex-
hausted when he undertook to sup
port Miss Wannamaker, and could
not keep her head above the surface.
Mr.. George Huguenin. also of
Charleston, being attracted by the
calls for help, fastened to Mr.. Buists
assistance. Mr.. Huguenin has been i'll
recently and his strength was soon
gone. He was unable to support Miss
Wannamaker and she sank. Mr.. Jas.
Adger, who lad been swimming some
distance further out, close to the jet
ties, reached the 'scene of trouble
about this time, and undertook to as
sist Miss Wannamaker, but was him
self seized with cramps.

Andrew Buckley. beloved husband oi
Phimene Buckley. was drowned, hav.
Ing disappeared from an overturned
rowboat. He is now defendant in
two suits for divorce
One pleasant day in October nearly
three. score years ago he went for a
row. Next day the boat was found
bottom up, and Buckley was found
not at ALL
A sufficient time having passed
without his coming home to his
meals, as had been his custom, Mrs
Buckley was sreluctlantly led to be-
lieve that her husband was thorough
ly and unalterably drowned, in spite
of the fact that the body was never
recovered, and she grew to look upon
herself as a widow.
AS a widow, she fixed up a nice
grave and decorated ii with flowers
every year. AS widow, she receiv-
ed the condolences of her friends
and eXtolled the virtues of the late
lamented Buckley among the neigh
bors, to the discontinue of many
husbands who had had no opportun-
ity to prove themselves drowned and
virtuous.
Luxuriating in recollections of
the happiness that was, she remain
ed true TO the past and brought up
her son in fond reverence of the
memory of his worthy father.
During twenty-nine years she had
become firmly fixed in the habit of
believing she was a relict and was
reconciled.
Therefore, she was surprised, to
say the least, when she recently re-

a man who had gone to moist and
permanent death.
On the contrary 1t gave evidence
of coming from one who was very
thoroughly possessed of vitality and
animation. In fact IL went so far as
to show that the. writer had been
leading a double life.
The writer explained to the loving
and affectionate widow that the con-
structive corpse was in trouble and
needed her assistance. 1t is related
that the woman with whom he had
been living since his vicarious death
was suing him for divorve and asking
alimony.
He wanted his widow to sign a
disposition that she was his wife in
order to upset the claims of his Sc
cond wife. living in Seattle, Wash.
"Philomene. darling" said the

AUTO HITS EGG WAGON.
Injuries TO its Occupants Might BE
Termed Superficial.

The New York American says an
auto containing Andrew ID. Maloy, of
No. 20 Broad street, Manhattan, and
several friends whirled three blocixe
Thursday down the hill which leads
from the Long Island Railroad tracks
to Jamaica avenue, East New York,
and crashed into two wagons laden
with eggs.
The result might be described as
an omlette du force. Broken eggs
spattered about as If the sky were
showering the barnyard product. One
man was slightly bruised when the
auto hit the wagon he was driving
Mr.. Maloy and his friends were un-
injured, but not so their clothing.
