THE FIREWORKS DISPLAY.
Set On-Dewey Witnessed the One
at Gen. Grants Tomb.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-The fireworks
in this city in honor of Adm. Dewey
Friday night was grand.
From eight different points in Great
err New York fireworks were exhibited,
the grandest display being at the bat
terry. Adm. Dewey witnessed the dis
play at Grants tomb.
At night viewed from the roofs of
any of the high buildings down town
New York Friday night appeared an
enchanted city.
The great buildings were bright
with dazzling light and gorgeous color.
On the rivers were fairy barges,
in the sky flashing shafts of blue. The
water seemed a ribbon of lambert
flame.
Never before in the history of New
York has this city ever witnessed a
greater pyrotechnic and electrical dis
play than that with which the return
of Adm. Dewey was Celebrated in the
harbor and waters surrounding the is
land of Manhattan Friday night. No
more picturesque spectacle has ever
been presented to so large concourse
gathered on both shores of the
North river, as that of the great hulks
of the battle ships of Dewey's fleet
silhouetted against the great back
ground of the sky and shining from
stem to stem with myriads of mean
descent lights, while all around in

though many of them were popular
and would have received big demon
STATIONS at any other time, passed al
most unnoticed. The crowds would
ha re none of them to-day.
1t was RI. Adm. Schley who divided
the honors with the central figure of
the day. He received demonstration
second only to that of Dewey. People
along the line of march fairly rose at
him shouting their already lacerated
threats to the breaking point. 'Hurrah
for the hero of Santiagop' There is
the man that smashed Cervera's feetw
Hip, hip, hurrah for Schley!' and kin
dred cries came from all parts of the
line.
In upper Fifth avenue some en-
thusiastic lady threw him a handful
of roses. They landed fairly in the
carriage The admiral leaned for
ward, picked them up and lifted them
to his lips. Instantly all the ladies in
the balcony seemed possessed with the
desire to have their flowers similarly
honored, and he was fairly bonn barded.
Many of the flowers fell into the
street, only to be caught up by eager
spectators and carried to the carriages.
Before he got to Madison Adm, Schley
was up to his arms in flowers.
The first ceremony today was the
presentation at the city hall of a gold
loving cup TO the admiral by Mayor
Van Wyck on behalf of the city of
New York.
Mayor Van Wyck's address was
couched in most elegant language, re-
viewing Dewey's life from childhood
to Manila bay. When the mayor had
concluded Adm. Dewey replied as fol-
lows:

press in words how deeply 1 am moved

the other-that beautiful cup, the

other forms Of athletics, had a series of mis-
fortunes with which most people can sympa-
thlze. He was playing against man whose
opinion hevalued, and he consistently topped
his ball, sliced it, pulled it, lifted it into a
tree, played a fine cleek stroke into bunker,
and made extraordinary straight long-dis-
lance puts in which the ball hoped genially
across the hole into the long grass which
skirted the green.
AT first the players demeanor was omi-
nously sweet; he seemed positively to enjoy
his strokes; then he grew mad; then he grew
apparently careless, though his caddie no.
ticed the carelessless was only assumed, as
he was pressing horribly. The worst of golf
is that you can never deceive either your
caddie or your ball. st last, at the seventh
hole, he grew wonderfully calm, and marched
off to the next teeing ground, remarking to
his trembling caddie that he would not
trouble to hole out. After an easy prelim-
mary swing or two he topped his ball, which
trickled away about 20 yards to the right.
Then the man took all his clubs and broke
them one by one across his knee, remarking
quietly to his opponent that cit is better to

Adm. Dewey evinced a desire to
shake hands with all the naval officers
and introduce them to the mayor.
He almost Rugged Rr. Adm. Schley
and he patted Capt. Coghlan on the
back. AS Dewey greeted Schley, the
crowd sent up cheer after cheer for

greetings were over, the mayor began
his speech presenting the city's loving
cup.
After the formal ceremonies Adm.
Dewey went about shaking hands with
his friends. "Come here. all you cap

captains present. When the captains
had all assem- bled, he waved his hand
toward them and said: "These are the

New YORK, Oct. 1.-The functions
and the receptions that have figured
so prominently in the daily life of
Adm. Dewey since his arrival off Sandy
Hook last Tuesday morning have
proven almost too much for his
strength. The admiral has been I'M
der such a perpetual physical and

exhausted. Saturdays ceremonies
were the most taxing on his strength
of any that he has yet to undergo,
and he appeared Sunday looking pale
and worn, despite the fact that ne re-
tired early Saturday evening and en-
jOyed good nights rest.
The admiral Sunday was too IA
tigued to do more than remain in his
room the greater part of the time and
rest quietly. At 10 o'clock Adm. Dewey
had an engagement to meet the Chi
cago Dewey committee and before he
came down sent a message to Mayor
Carter Harrison requesting that he be
not expected to shake hands with the
members of the committee. The ad-
miral explained this request by saying
that he had had SO much Misunderstanding
on Saturday that his hand panied him
severely.
Adm. Dewey rose early Sunday
morning, however, sending for cup
of tea at 6 o'clock. Shortly after, he
ordered light breakfast, which was
| sent to his apartments, and which he
ate alone. When the admiral had fin

two days celebrations was devoted
to demonstration on water.
Atone o'clock sharp the squadron
got under way. 1t was an inspiring
moment when the column started up
the harbor and the great naval parade
began to be reality. First came the
police boat Patrol, which was the
apex Of a wedge spreading out to
the freboats New Yorker and Van
Wyck which followed abreast. The
steamer Sandy Hook, having on board
the mayor and the Representatives of
the city of New York, with the stand
ards of the city flying from the fore
and aft masts, steamed alongside of
the Olympia, the flag ship of Adm.
Dewey on the port side.
After the Olympia came the armored
cruiser New York, the flagship of RI.
Adm. Sampson, with her big turrets
and guns appearing like a moving fort
ress as she followed in the wake of the
admira's ship. The Chicago brought
up the rear of the column.
Following the New York were the
two frst-class battleships Indiana and
Massachusetts. Then followed the
gunboat Marietta, small by compari-
son with the Lancaster, with the aux
illary cruiser Scorpion behind.
When the parade reached point OPP
posite Hoboken, a welcome to the ad-
lniral was fired from a cannon on the
green in Hudson park. From some
points on shore Adm. Dewey could be
seen standing on the bridge of the
Olympia, and wherever this was the
case the cheering and waving of hand
kerchiefs by the crowd was wildly en-
thusiastic. The crowd waiting at
Grants tomb was the largest ever gath
cred there.
The admiraPs cruiser at 2:25 o'clock
was opposite Seventy-ninth street.
Then there was tremendous demon
stration. Cannon roared, the people
yelled and flags and handkerchiefs
were waved from the streets and hun
dreds of roofs and windows.

But the man who smoked stogies came to

The blossomy man refused to be silent.
'But did you hear about the forger?"
"No. Why?"
"Re was there on account of simple de-

The man with the stogie meditated.
''Yhat reminds me of the burglar" he

The scene was inspiring all along.
Mount Tom, which use to be the site
of an-eld fort, had 1000 or 5, 900 persons
on it. 1t was one of the best points of
view of the Riverside park.
The Olympia rounded the stakeboat
st. Mary's, off One Hundred and Twen-
ty-ffth street, at half-past two o'clock
amid deafening sounds of cannon and
cheers from the largest crowd ever
gathered in this city.
The parade was one hour and fifteen
minutes passing Fulton street. The
vessels moved at about eight knots an
hour.
NEW YORK, Sept. 80. - By actual
count the number of men in the Dewey
land parade Saturday afternoon was
so, 9O2.
The parade started at 10 minutes
past IL o'clock, and the last company
reached the Washington arch at 3 min
utes to 6. 1t required hours and 55
minutes to pass given point.
The land pagent overtopped even
the colossal welcome when Dewey
steamed up the harbor and anchored
off Riverside, opposite Grants tomb.
The naval parade of Friday was a
magnificent and superb spectacle, but
the wonder of modern times was the
great land parade.
The number of persons who saw
Dewey we'll reached into the millions.
The admira's progress from the tomb
literally one of glorious triumph.
He rode at the head of the process
sion with Mayor Van Wyck, i'm
mediately following Maj. Gen.
Roe and his staff. The cheers
with which he was greeted made
him ride bareheaded most of the
way. He was visibly affected. Now
and then his lips twitched convulsive-
ly, and occasionally he wiped his eyes.
At the reviewing stand, when he and
the mayor alighted from their carriage
and stepped into their stand, which
was banked up by 10000 costly roses,
there was tremendous ovation, vo.-
ume after volume of cheers most ter
rife, and the widest of scenes.
The three admirals-Howison, Samp-
son and Philip-as they rode by with
their brilliantly accoutered stats,
were easily recognized and got fatter-

No Wonder the Darkey Fled.

Gen. Nicolls, Of New Orleans, was
we'll known throughout the Southern
States as one of the bravest officers in
the Confederate army. He sacrificed
an eye, leg and an arm in the cause
which he believed just, and came out
of the war, as he declared, only half a
man. ;" But the half that was left
enjoyed a joke as keenly as ever.
Science replaced the lost members so
successfully that nobody who was ig-
norant of his misfortune could detect
it.
The General often told the following
story:
Stopping at hotel in Mobile ne
gro boy was detailed to help him pre-
pare for bed. After his bag was un-
packed and his coat laid aside he said:
"Now, Sam, take off my leg
Sam stared speechless.
Don't know yet how to take off
legs, eh? Now, look here!'
He unscrewed the leg, and keeping
it carefully covered with its long,
black stocking, laid it aside.
stNow take off this arm
"No, sab ! Nebber took off no gen.
tlemun' ahm in my life!'' gasped Sam,
turning gray with. terror.
"You' re pretty valet Nothing
easier" The arm was taken off and
laid beside the leg on the table, and
the General prepared for sleep and got
into bed.
"Oh, by the way We'd better
take an eye out y
He took it out. Sam backed to the
door, afraid to turn his back on the
terrible guest, who stretched himself
sleepily and then said:
"Now, Sam, take off my head! =
Sam rushed out of the room to the
office, and could only find strength to
gasp out, cts de debil heself, sab!
He's taken hisself to pieces in room
48!
The man who has the nerve to make
a joke of his sacrifices in any cause is
very sure of sympathy and approval.
