New York City.
WORLDWIDE INTEREST
Celebration Commemorative of TWO
Great Historical Events in America.
Five Million People Witness Great
Marine Pageant.

New York.-Millions of spectators
witnessed the opening OF the Huusoh-
Fulton celebration, which began Win
a great naval parade OF warshlps ana
other craft, in New York halDor, ana
will continue along the historic Hud-
son river for several days, the scenes
being shifted from one city to another
along the rivers course.
The celebration is given in COM
memoration of the discovery OF the
great river, which bears his name, Dy
Hudson, an English navigator and
adventurer, over three hundred years
ago, and Fulton's voyage over the
same course traversed by Hudson
some two hundred years later to test
the power of steam as applicable to
water craft.
In the great marine pageant were
replicas Of the Half Moon, Hudson S
ship, and the Clermont, Fulton's yes
sci. manned by officers and crews
garbed in the style of dress worn by
the bold adventures of long ago
The scene was most picturesque,
presenting a novel spectacle to the
thousands upon thousands who lined
every vantage point to witness the
festivities
The parade went through as SUD-
stantially planned and in slightly and
noble order; many foreign cruisers
and battleships also taking part in
the pageant
Conservative estimates place the
number of those who witnessed the
parades from the shores of Staten
Island, Long Island, Brooklyn, the P'.-
isades and New Jersey at 100000.
From all parts of the world came
representative of different nations to
be present at this, one of the most
elaborate and spectacular celebrations
probably ever witnessed in America
The festivities will continue for
about a fortnight.

Another story is told of a man who,
after searching for hours for his wife

Governor Johnson's life hung con-
Iinually in the balance until the end
came So frequently did his condi-
tion change, alternately for the bet
ter and then for worse, that his ply
sicians, ever hopeful but none too
optimistic, were able to say at no
time since the operation was per
formed that the governor had more
than even a chance for his life.
John A. Johnson was the first Min
nesotan to be chosen governor of the
state, and of that distinction he was
prouder than of any other feature OF
his career. Governor Johnson was
born near st. Peter, forty-eight years
ago His parents were natives OF
Sweden. His father, Gustav Johnson,
his mother, Caroline Hanson Haden,
were both of peasant stock.
