New York's Greatest Crowd Sees
Marching of Fighting Men.
BEST OF FULTON PAGEANTS
Iwpnty-Svp Thousand Men in Line
and 2,250,000 Looking On
r.ritish Red-Conts and German
(Joosc-Steps Attract Attention.
Xovr York City. Twenty-five thou
sand fighting men, drawn from all the
principal navies of the world and
from every branch of the United
Staffs Army and Navy, passed in re
view in the great military parade that
will stand out as the most brilliant
pag ?ant of the Hudson-Fulton cele
bration. NTot Ipss than 2,250,000 persons
Viewed the parade, and it aroused
theia to an enthusiasm that left them
tired, hoarse and hanpy. The first
bis thrill came when Governor
Hulies apnared at the starting point
and the military bands blared out airs
of the countries whose sailors were
about to march. "God Save the
Kir.?." "P'e Wacht am Rhein," "The
Marseillaise" and others came in suc
cession, and then, following a brief,
magnetic pause, the first notes of
"The Sfat Sn;'angled Banner" rang
our. They carried clear for three
blocks each way, and the crowd,
packed to suffocation along each
block and in every side street, went
wild with enthusiasm.
The post of honor at the head of.1
the marching line was awarded to the
Jackies from the British ships. In
their wide-brimmed straw hats they
caught the fancy of the spectators at
once is they swung along, big,
bronzed men, 700 strong; and the
cheQrs that greeted them were re
doubled when a detachment of the
royal m? vines came into sight behind
them and furnished the piquant spec
tacle of British redcoats under arms
in the streets of New York City.
A continuous roar of cheers accom
panied the Germans, who followed,
and the crowd was delighted to see
the sailors march lik-5 the best-drilled
army regular?, even leading off after
occasional hales with the edd, showy
goose-step. Frenchmen swung by
to the squealing and the rattle of fifes
and drums. Blue uniforms with
white straw hats and white leggings
marked the contingent from the
Dutcli cruiser Utrecht, and the Ital
ians, lithe and agile, with the rich col
oring and the dark eyes that caused
many a woman's gaze to linger, were
conspicuous with white spats that set
off the trim simplicity of the rest of
their uniform.
Right on the heels of the Argen
tines and the Mexicans, the last of the
foreigners, came the sailor3 of the
American fleet, and, loudly as they
had cheered the visitors, the specta
tors gave all their hearts and voices
to the boys at home. Uncle Sam's
tars turned out 10,000 strong, the de
tachment from each ship being pre
ceded by a flag bearing the ship's
name, and an along the line the
crowd picked out its favorites, only to
prove its individual fickleness and
general loyalty by turning to cheer
the next division as soon as one had
passed by.
Leading the military forces of the
United States came the boys the
crowd always loves all the time the
West Point Cadets. New York City
has seen them so often it might have
grown used to the splendid marching
of the future officers of its Army, but
the sight never palls, and the cadets
never made a braver showing, nor re
ceived a more uproarious welcome.
Detachments of cavalry, artillery and
infantry, regulars, militiamen and
volunteers to the number of 10,000
made up the rest of the parade.
The crowds along the line of march
and in the adjoining streets furnished
in themseives one of the memorable
features of the parade. The police
admitted that they never before had
been called upon to handle such
throngs, but previous lessons proved
to have been learned well and there
as far less confusion and dangerous
congestion than ever before. The
field ambulances that had been in
stalled at numerous points were ad
mirably conducted and all whp re
quired relief were attended to
Prr aptly.
The grandstands were crowded, but
there was complaint at the prices
charged. In spite of the efforts that
tad been made to prevent it, thou
sands of tickets fell into the hands of
speculators, who not only asked for
K to $10 for an ordinary seat, but
Jften were insultingly persistent in
3 ig to force their sales. Seats in
Windows sold rapidly, and though lit

nd th nny were in the third division
t th? r rih di vsion of composed
NawS and Second divisions of
ork tV llitia of the Stat9 of New
J:ne National Guard of New
York State, under command of Brigadier-General
George Moore Smith
and led by Squadron C, cavalry, as
escort, made a magnificent showing
in the fifth division. Colonel Daniel
Appleton commanded the first bri
gade and Colonel John G. Eddy led
the second brigade. In the second
brigade marched the Ninth Company
of the Coast Artillery Corps of the
Connecticut National Guard.
The sixth division contained the
Albany Burgess Corps, commanded by
Major J. C. Woodward; the Old
Guard of New York, with Major S.
Elliss Briggs in command, and the
Irish Volunteers, led by Colonel
Charles J. Crowley. The United
Spanish War Veterans had the sev
enth division. They were commanded
by Grand Marshal W. Martin Watson.
In the eighth division were the Sons
of Veterans, Commander-in-Chief
George W. Pollitt in command; the
Deutscher-Veteranen-Bund of IS 70
'71, Max Lederer, the president, in
the fore; the United States Volunteer
Life Saving Corps, the Legion of In
dependent Polish Krakusky, under
command of Colonel Stefan Suszyski,
and the Italian Rifle brigade. Cap
tain Thomas O'Reilly was grand mar
shal of the ninth division, which was
composed of memlbers of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Most of its
participating members were in line on
both sides of the Court of Honor, and
the younger fighting men marched
between them. There were two old
men in the line, however, in one of
the organizations who' were almost
exhausted by the time they had
reached the Court of Honor. Not
withstanding that, they tottered
along, bowing and smiling to every
one who greeted them. At the rear
of the parade, holding the following
crowds in check, was a platoon of
mounted policemen. Both police
platoons in the line won plaudits for
their military bearing and the clever
way in which they handled their,
mounts.
The vast crowds wore in a good hu
mor, and there were many amusing
incidents to the parade.
"There goes the 'possum eaters " a
lusty-lunged individual shouted as
the head of the Georgia column
reached Forty-second street, where
upon some of the Georgia's men
laughed outright. The Georgia's
band, next to the Connecticut's, is the
finest in the Atlantic fleet, and when
it struck "Way Down Upon the Su
wanee River" the crowd in the court
of honor stood up and yelled.
"Is Bryan going to ran again!" a
noisy individual shouted as the Ne
braska's men followed the New Jer
sey contingent past the reviewing
stand. Bringing up the rear of the
third section of the Atlantic fleet was
the Rhode Island, "the chowder ship,"
and behind her came the snappy look
ing, swift walking jakies of the Vir
ginia, the flagship of the Fourth Di
vision. The reception to the Virginia wa3
as gTeat as was given to any of the
ships. As the band reached Forty
third street it struck up "My Old Ken
tucky Home," which put everybody
in good humor and started an ovation
of cheering. Then the band changed
to "Maryland, .My Maryland," the
"Suwanee River" then "Dixie," and
as the column passed the Governor to
"Take Me Back to Old Virginia." The
crowd went wild at this.
The Wisconsin's men came after
the Virginia, and then the boys from
the Missouri hove, in sight. "Show
me!" the people yelled as the Mis
souri division passed. They had
brought along Nasma, their goat mas
cot, the only goat in the world that
can eat without ill-results fresh
green paint, matches and tobacco.
Nasma got out of line once, and the
parade almost stopped while he was
chased back to the rear of the col-
umn. The unio, tne last snip in me

Roanoke, Va. The local option
election heret resulted in a victory for
the "wets." the majority being sev

the "drys" against the "wets" here.
The first was fought last spring when
the temperance people won by a ma
jority of eighty-two votes. That elec

Judge Staples.
The campaign preceding the elec
tion was a warm one, temperance
people from other parts of the State
coming to this city and taking the
platform for the "drys." The liquor
interests have been equally ardent.
Vincennes, Ind. Knot County

Forty-one of forty-three precincts in

the burning of the warehouse of the
Newton hosiery mill, occurred the
most disastrous fire in this place since
the destruction of Ryne Bros.' dry
oods and Yoder's hardware stores in
October, 1903. Just what was the
origin of the fire it seems impossible
to gather, nor has anyone been able to
suggest a cause. The warehouse was
a wooden building 50 by SO feet, sit
uated in the center of a cluster of oth
er wooden buildings forming the hos
iery mill property. In the back part
of building was piled tier upon tier
and box upon boxes of the mill's
cheaper grades of work, while all the
front half was filled with higher
?rade, guaranteed goods. It was here
that the fire seems to have started,
for all these goods" are a total loss.
The entire building presents a charred
appearance, the rafters and all wood
work looking as if it might crumble at
any moment and the floor in many
places is burned through. The build
ing, which is a total loss, was unin
sured, while the stock destroyed was
worth between $15,000 and $18,000
and was only half covered by insur
ance.' Wilkes County Fair.

This is the declaration of Mr. S. B.
