THE IMMORTAL
WASHINGTON
SONS OF VETERANS CAMP DO HONOR TO
FIRST PRESIDENT.
ABLE ADDRESSRY REV. SENSENEY
Camp Officers are Installed, Excellent Pro-
gram Of Patriotic Exercises, Followed by
Coffee, Beans, Sandwiches &c.

w. A. McHenry Camp Sons of Vet
erans placed the installation of off
GERS for 1909 on the birthday of Geo.
Washington, and arranged a program
flttingly bringing to mind the career
of this distinguished citizen. Members
of the G.. A. R. and w. R. C. and a
few friends were invited to attend
The Camp officers were installed by
Sears McHenry, who duly placed in
position j. B. Lyons as Commander
Leon Vasser, Senior Commander and
Fred Marshall Junior Commander. Tie
new head of the order gave brief
speech acknowledging the honor paid
him, and then called Mr.. George Nc
Henry to the chair to preside during
the program.
OF course there was patriotic
song in which all joined to begin with
and this was followed by a reading
by Rowland Jones, his selection being

the boys who wore the Blue and the
Gray joined in that song one night
when the forces lay in opposing arm.

ardson came forwadr with a humor
GUS poem which set forth the exper
| iences of old soldiers in eating hard
tack and fighting "Greybacks.' This
raised quite a laugh. Sweet little
Helen Boylan gave an entertaining
recitation and then came the address
of the evening by Rev. Senseney, pas.
tor of the NJ. E. church.
DR.. Senseney took comprehensive
look at history calling attention to
the fact that Egyption civilization
stood for Religion; Jewish for One
Invisible Cord; Greek for Architect
ure and Art; Rome for Law; English
for Civil Liberty; and American for
Religious and Political Freedom. II
was this latter that George Washing
J ton helped to give to our nation. The
history of Washington was traced
from young manhood to the end, and
his abilities, sagacity, leadership
craftsmanship, pointed out and eulog
lied. DR.. Senseney ended by relating
of his visit to Mount Vernon and he
described the mansion, the tomb, ane
the surroundings. AS whole the
Washington talk was interesting ant
instructive.
After more singing came the "arm.
beans" sandwiches, fried cakes
pickles. coffee; and the grand tim
of visiting. 1t was fully ten-thirt.

A BUNCH OF ROSES
This Laughable Farce Given In Splendid Ma.a,r,
By The Young People.

This pretty little farce was played
last Saturday both afternoon and
evening at the City Hall. The ac-
tors we're the Misses Lydia Belle.
Kuehnle, Sylvia Cochran, Alma,
Wright and Emily Rogers and Messrs-.
Roland Philbrook, Chase Kemming,
Gene Luney and Pierre Schlumberger.
The staging we understand was pre-
pared by the actors and was certain
ly very good. The young people,
played their parts exceptionally we'll
and the play was greeted with good
appreciative audiences both times
In the evening, coffee and dougnnuts,
were served at the close and al
together the days entertainments
brought the Episcopal ladies a neat,
sum which will be used to make re-
pairs and to insure the church build.
ing. Denison certainly has superior
amateur dramatic talent and some of
it was represented in the play so sue
cessfully given on Saturday last.

the flight of airships, manned by men
who by their accomplishments may
Justly receive credit for having deci-
sively conquered the air. Navigation
by steam one hundred years ago had
reached approximately the same stage
of development to which aviation has
attained in 1909. In proportion the
Clermont was as crude and uncertain
as are the most advanced and success
full airships of to-day. Only in the
brain of Fulton, Livingston and few
other far-seeing, indomitably optimis-
tic spirits OF their time were the pro-
digious advances of the science fore
cast and confidently believed in. AS

expressed his belief that in no genera

witness such rapid progress in diversi-
fed forms as his generation had seen.
There are old, thinking and intelli-
gent men to-day who may frequently
be heard to give voice to similar sem
timents. And yet, with the achieve
ments of steam navigation compassed

recompense somewhat for the passing

So come these two important ami

ries of Hudson's and Fulton's great
achievements suggest. knowledge OF
the history of a nation, state or a
city rebounds to patriotism, national
and civic pride and loyalty to estab-
lished institutions. It serves TO bind

of the commonweal. No state in the
Union has in its traditions more than
New York has to inspire the pride of
its people. When the fact is consid-
cred that more than 20 per cent of its
population came here from foreign
lands, while more than 80 per cent
was born here of foreign parentage,
the impossibility of estimating the far

16O9-Henry Hudson

Henry Hudson discovered the Hud-
son River in 1909, and sailed up it as
:ac as the site Of Albany. Robert
Fulton first successfully effected wa
ter navigation by steam nearly two
hundred years later. when, in 1907,
aboard tie Clermont, he followed
Hadson's course to the northward to
,he point attained by the Half Moon.
These two events supply the reason
:or he Hudson-Fulton celebration,
which begins September 25 and lasts
-ntn October g.
While, on account OF the nature OF
.he events commemorated and the
necessity for certain amount OF con-
,entration in order TO make the com
nemoration effective. a large part OF
he celebration will take place along
.ae Hudson Valley. yet the people OF
ne whole state cannot fail TO have
lively interest in it. The discovery OF
he Hudson River, as pointed out by
DR.. Edward Hagaman Hall, secretary
3 ne Hudson-Fulton Celebration
Commission. and the successful apPh-
cation OF steam to navigation were
.ocal events only in narrow sense OF
he term. In effect, they were Ct state

edge Of Europe and opened TO ciVilI-
cation the region in the vicinity OF the
g7eat river TO which. more than to any
other single natural factor, is due the
.y-aatness of New York as the Empire
State and New York City as the me-
tcopolis of the New World. The other
has given to all the navigable waters
r,f the earth a value which they did not
previously possess; has reduced the
oceans expanse, in point OF tlme' 10
3ue-sixth its former breadth. and has
promoted the neighborliness OF ma

soaabiy dispute the right OF the ex-
perts in aviation to prophesy that air
ships will equal in development and
accomplishment by 2OO9 what steam
hes done on the water.
In the next two weeks millions of
persons will have spread before them
in concrete and adequate form hun
dreds of historical scenes of which
New York and the Hudson River Val
ley have been the theatre in the last
three centuries. 1t will be a striking
ly graphic lesson in contrasts. The
Half Moon and the Clermont, du-
plicated for the occasion, will share
the waters with the gigantic tranSat-
lantic liners and the floating palaces
that ply the Hudson; with the steel
walled battleships of the worlds ma
vies. equipped with guns which at a
broadside burn more powder and

the finding of the pole was moot

ton of scientific men. Hudson per-
iShed miserably in the desolate icy
wastes so valorously and successfully
braved by Cook and Peary. This can
not fail to recall irresistibly the pa
thetic fate of Hudson, abandoned in
Hudson Bay by mutinous and cra-
ven crew, lacking his courage to seek
the Northwest Passage, but whose
threats and force could not deter Hud-
son from his determination to urge his
ship still further north toward imni-
nent death.
From the beginning to the end the
celebration will be free to all. Its
beauties and wonders will be graSped
and witnessed by the poorest as well
as the wealthy. The state and the
purses of wealthy and public spirited
men have provided for the enormous
cost of the celebration. which will be
not far from Sl,O00,OOO. Taken as a
whole. it will be token not alone OF
the proud supremacy OF the state and
the city, but of the entire country; not
an exhibition in arrogance or pride and
pomp of power. but an outward and
visible encouraging sign Of American
progress and accomplishment since
the day that Hudson, the navigator.
threw open the portals of closed and
unknown continent, and the ingenious
Fulton with leaky boiler and rude
machinery demonstrated the mastery
of steam over the oceans, seas, lakes
and rivers of the world.
