CHADWICK DAY NOTES.
Some of the Things of Interest
in Connection.


Admiral Sampson will be DR.. and Mrs.
Whites st-AdmiralsSehIey VIII
not be Present-Sword will be Here
/ On Monday-Cemmittees are Down
to Hard work.
During his stay 10 Morgantown Adj
miral Sampson will be the guest of
/ DR.. and Mrs. /. c. White at their ele-
CANT home. They will add no little
I to the pleasure Of his visit and will
make him want to locate permanent
| ly ia Morgantown. Both of them are
ideal entertainers.
Everyone is sorry that Admiral
Schley could not be present on Chad
wick Day. As hero who has done a
great service for his country he is sec
ond only TO Dewey in the estimation
Of his fellow codntrymen. He has
been given his preliminary orders for
sea duty and will shortly leave the
United States to take charge of the
South Atlantic squadron which may
prove to be Of greater importance than
it was thought to be when the post
was assigned to him.
The sword which is to be presented
to Captain Chadwick will be shipped
from Philadelphia this Saturday
evening" and on Monday it will BE-
placed on exhibition and all will want
to get look at it. The sword will be
one of the handsomest ever given to a
naval officer ia the country by a city
or state. OF course those presented
by Congress will outshine it but that
body has the resources of the United
/ States to back it and can do what ever
| it wishes to do
The Piedmont Herald after telling
Of the handsome invitation that it has
received to call on us on Chadwick
Day and complimenting everyone con-
cerned on the many good points OF
the invitation concludes its article by
exclaiming Lets all go!
| All the committees in charge OF
things for Chadwick Day are hard at
work and the one on decorations is do
ing a great deal. They have made a
canvass of the town and have found
out what each man is going to do in
the way of decorations. These will
be very elaborate and beautiful.
The sword is being universally
admired. 1t is one OF the prettiest
things ever seen in the town and
it's perfection of workmanship and
design are commented on fav-
orably by every one who sees it. 1t
will likely he placed in some store
window before very long.
subscriptions are still being ia
ken tor the Chadwick sword cele-
bration and on Monday one hun
dred and fifty dollars were raised.
w. w. Hayes, w f. Glasscock and
Frank Cox have done the greater
part of the hustling in that direc-
ton and they deserve lots of credit
for what they have doiie.
There will be ten rear admirals In
the party that is coming from Wash
ington. All of the naval officers OF
any prominence in the city will be
in the party that is coming to Nor
gantown. 1t has been found that
one car will not accommodate the
entire party and another one has
been placed at the disposal of the
committee by the railroad company.
The day as far as illustrious visitors
are concerned will be bowling sue
cess.
There is a report over town that
the McKeesport company will be
here but this grew out of the fact
that it had been invited. No reply
has been received from this organi.
cation but it is hoped that the men
who make it up will be able to get
to Morgantown. The military part
of the display is already great
success.
The next problem and the only
one is how to take care of the PEG
pie There will be thousands o!
people who will have to be fed.
| The church people ought to have
sandwiches and coffee and every one
else whoican do so should prepare the
same. There will not be a great
deal of use to try to get regular
meals but sandwiches and coffee are
all that will be wanted. These should
be provided by the thousand.
| Already pictures of Captain Chad
wick are being placed in store and
residence windows over town and
by the day of the celebration they
will be every where. The pictures
that have been secured are very good
i ones.
