DEWEY CELEBRATION AT THE

The Eden Musee has spared neither
time nor expense in doing things
more deliberately than other institu-
tions. 1t is going to Guido itself now
and during Admiral Dewey's
triumphal stay in New York there
will be many places of interest, but
nothing outside of Admiral Dewey
himself will be more interesting than
the Eden Musee. The interior of the
Musee has been altered, and the
changes will give additional room as
well as picturesqueness. The Nea-
politan Orchestra will give afternoon
and evening concerts of patriotic
music. The Cinematograph will fur
nish dainty morsel Entertainment.
A representative Of the Musee has
been in the Philippine Islands and is
on his way to this country with an
elaborate set of moving pictures,
showing warfare as it exists in the
Philippines. These pictures will be
put on exhibition during the celebra-
ton, and will be the first and only
moving pictures taken in the Philip
pines. They will be exhibited every
hour during the afternoon and even
ing, and will be coupled with inter-
esting scenes and incidents of the war
with Spain.
