every link of the police organization
was. movable at a moments notice,
so that the maximum of policemen
was utilized where the crowd was

No policeman had time off during
the parade days. All were ordered
to wear their uniforms at all times
except when in bed. This order ap-
piled to every member of the force,
in whatever capacity. When not on
active Guty each policeman ~snatched
his rest in the station house, thus at

An especial letter, issued by the

an encounter.
1t was in the m~aneuvring at the
start that the Half Moon rammed
the Clermont and took part of one of
her paddle wheels by the board as
though she was jealous of this new
found power which was to surpass all
speed that might come from all the
press of canvas which the winds of
heaven ever caught.
AS far as the eye could reach swung
the battleships of the nations at
anchor, forming in their gay dress of
bunting, flung jauntily from mast and
yard, a line of warriors of the deep.
Submarines and torpedo boats
skurried past them first as though to
clear the way, and then came the
images of the Half Moon and of the
Clermont, followed by a flotilla which
had been long in gathering. 1t was an
impressive sight, especially for those
who could for miles view the stream,
although many who could only get
glimpses of a part of the martial dis
play were disappointed.
Toward the New Jersey shore
passed a great column of excursion
boats leaning, curious and awkward,
like gawky children on tiptoe, so that
none of the parade might be missed
by their eager eyes.
Those who were a1oat felt the
shock of the echoing guns of the
salutes and saw all that transpired
on the holystoned decks of the men
of-war. On land the throngs saw a
great procession of the vessels of
peace, and so numerous were they
that hours passed before the last had
completed its journey up1the stream,
and many did not attempt to get in
line again for the display of the
evening.
The elaborate program of the night
parade could not be carried out in it's
entirety. although many of the YES
sells followed out the maneuvres
which had been, arranged il an indie
pendent and informal fashion.
An idea OF the magnitude of the
parade may be had when it is known
that the column that circled the bat
tleships and cruisers of the interna-
tional feet in the Hudson was at least
forty miles long. The distance from
the Statue of Liberty to the anchorage
of the derelict destroyer Seneca is
about sixteen miles, yet when the
flagship General Meigs, that headed
the column, arrived off the Battery on
her return to the starting point the
yacht division in the parade was just
getting under way, and there was an
unbroken chain of vessels of every
description, except warships and
ocean liners, going up OF coming
down the river behind har

PENIS GROVE, N. j.. FRIDAY. OCTOBER /. 1909.
Millions of Persons Join In
Ceremonies of the Great
Hudson-Fulton Celebration
Mi8htiest Armada Ever Gathered in American Waters
Gives Signal For Greeting to the Half
Moon and the Clermont.

New York City.-Voices of thun-
der from the mightiest armada ever
gathered within these harbor gates
hailed the renewed Half Moon and
her adventurous crew and acclaimed
the returned Clermont, which first
defed the waves by the titanic power
of steam.
The two vessels, old fashioned and
clumsy, were followed by such a mer-
chant fleet as never before had been
marshaled in parade in these waters,
and they passed by a line of warships
that told the story of the fighting
strength of the navies of the world in
terms of most impressive significance.
Uncle Sam was here with sixteen bat
tleships and almost forty other vessels
of war, and picked ships from the
fleets of England and Germany,
France and Italy, Holland, Argentine
and Mexico, swung on the tide in
peaceful accord, to do honor to the
day.
The great water spectacle of the
morning and afternoon turned at
night into such a display as threat
ened to blind the stars with light.
The whole Hudson was a river of fire
from the illumination of the battle
ships and other craft.
Four million people rejoiced at the
official opening of this, the Hudson
Fulton celebration, which in impor-
lance has outstripped any demonstra-
ton seer in this, the metropolis of
the Western world. Not even when
the gallant Dewey returned from the
victory of Manila Bay did New York
send out a greater host than that
which gathered upon the slopes of
green Riverside and the lofty Pail
sades.
The day was f~aultless. The sky
was like an inverted turquoise cup,
and the blue of it was mirrored in the
stream, which shimmered beneath
the sun of autumn, fecked here and
there with points of foam.
Weather as perfect as this beguiled
a myriad of the sons of men, who left
their toll to make holiday in the
names of the explorer and of the in
yentor whose achievements made ros-
sible the Empire City of New York.
The might of the navies of the
world was see displayed from the
Kills to Spuyten Duyvil, where once
the Half Moon, wandering from the
Holland shores, was target of the ar
row sped from ambush by a SAVAGE

UNvEIL FULTON TABLET.

Lancaster, Pa. - The Lancaster
County Historical Society unveiled a
memorial to Robert Fulton in the lit

whom made addresses. E@f
The exercises were continued in the
afternoon, and during the luncheon
hour there was an exhibit of Fulton
relics consisting of manuscripts,
drafts, mementos, etc.

boat, the Clermont. 1t was profusely
decorated with the national colors.

in Spite Of Mothers Efforts.

C~oshocton, Ohio.-William Davis,
nineteen years old, killed his father,
Eli, forty-nine years old, a mine fore
man, with a Ratchet and a pocket
knife near here. Mrs. Davis tried to
prevent the murder, vainly attempt
ing to shield her husband with her
body from the attack of her sou.
An egg vas the cause of the crime.
Bacon was set before Davis for break
fast, and to his wife he said: Its a
wonder you wouldn't fry an egg with
this bacon" The son, also seated at
the table, resented the words, and an
argument developed. The youth left
the room hurriedly, and in a few mo-
ments returned with the Ratchet. The
father sprang from his chair, but a
blow. on the forehead dropped him to
the floor. Three times the Ratchet
was swung, making three terrible
gashes in the skull. After the first
stroke Mrs. Davis rushed to hold off
her son, but he threw her into a cor
ner.

Athlete Dies Of Starvation.

Starvation, caused by paralysis OF
the throat. has resulted in the death
of Allan E.. Vodge, twenty-one years
old, % of James w. Vodge, at Bey-
erly. He was a member of the Bev-
erly Field Club and an ~al1-around ath-
lete. For some time the young man
had suffered with stomach trouble,
but, being somewhat recovered, he
went cunning on Labor Day, and
also took part in canoe races. 1t is
the belief of physicians that over-ex-
ertion brought on the paralysis. The
paralysis took a form that made it i'm
possible to force food down his throat.

RADIO, has melted within the past 4S

is believed by those familiar with the

caused by volcanic disturbance. A
mine located near the basin and
worked years ago was abandoned be-
cause of the intense heat encountered
in the lower levels. The deep snow
on the mountainside prevents close
