Great Parade of Warships In Honor of Dewey
at New York.
NATION FATS GLOKIOIS TRIBUTE TO DANILA HEW
Over a Million People Witness the Grand and Inspir.
ing Scene Ashore and Aboard.
The great naval parade in honor of
Admiral Dewey occurred at new York
Friday afternoon.
No victorious king or prince, com
ing home from a successful war, ever
received such a magnificent ovation an
overwhelmed the hero of Mauili Bay
as ho stood on tho bridge of the
Olympia atfthe head of a magnificent
fleet of steel thunderers of the deep,
followed by a thousand vessels of
peace, each tiered and coated with
people, and sailed over the waters of
the tipper bay and up the broad path
way of the suulit river, whose banks
were gay with millions of flags and
streamers dancing in tho wind.
Tbe weather was ideal, the water
was rippled under tho fresh wind that
held out flags straight and jaunty, and
tlie wharves and piers and rocky
heights and grassy knolls were black
with frantic, enthusiastic people, who
strived Vrealtly to make their shouts
heard above the perfect bedlam of i !
tooting whistles that, accompanied the
admiral ashore and ntloat.
As the tomb of General Grant on
Riverside driveway was reached, the
fleet paid its tribute to the memory of

ovatiou to the sailor, who, in a single '
morning destroyed an enemy’s fleet;
without the loss of a man or a ship,
It is not. beyond the mark to say that
three million people viewed tho pa

of a million were afloat.
When New York turned out*io the

haze hung over the harbor, but this
was soon dissipated by the bright sun
which bathed sea and city in its bril

The Pittsburg Post publishes thc
following:
“United .... States Senator . Mark .. , „ Hanna
says this of the possibility of
Deway for tbe piesidency:
“ ‘ The practice of continually
mg the name of Admiral Dewey on tho
prospective list of presidential caadi
nates is indecent. It is an insult and
« great injustice to the hero of Manim
bay himself, as he lias frequency said
that nothing in the world would -in

other political office.’ ”

Democratic Dandidate For Governor of
Ohio Makes Great Speech
The democratic state campaign was
opened at Hamilton,O., Saturday with
a great demonstration and speeches
by John R. McLean, candidate for
governor, and the candidates for other
offices on lhe democratic state ticket
aud others.
Great interest was manifested
Mr. McLean’s speech and he deliver
ed it with great power in the presence
of several thousand people, who cheer
eii Jiiai rspsatedij.
People who went down the bay were
lost in admiration of the display of
bunting along tho water front.
On East river from the bridge to the
battery where the sailing craft lay in
droves the spars were covered with
such a mass of color as might be com
pared to a Hiaplo grown hillside in the
deep autumn. The tall spars of the
clippers were conspicuous for their
ensigns aiul signals. Every craft in
the harbor was decked out from stem
to stern with all the grace and attrac
tiveaess known to shippers.
It was exactly 1 o’clock, the hour
fixed for the start, when the fleet, with
anchors shore-hove, began to move.
Tho ships had swung to the flood tide
and wore pointing down stream. They
laced about ns on pivots, and headed
l° r the Hudson, followed by the long
line of vessels in civic parade,
When the ships had straightened
out tor their journey across the upper
bay, the spectacle they made will ever
be treasured iu tho memory of those
who saw it.
Farr»BUt*H Flag: Unfurled.
Just as the signal to weigh anchor
was given, a pull on the halyards
opened tho roll and spi’ead the four
starred flag which Farragut flew as he
ran the fort in New Orleans. It was
the flag which was presented to Admi
ral Dewey. As it broke upon the
breeze, sailors at their stations and
tho marines or, the quarter deck greet
ed it with the hip, hip, hooray we got
from our ancestors. The flag floated

Admiral Dewey weut up on the after

It often has been said that the late Cornelius Vanderbilt was the “best of
the Vanderbilts.” By that was meant that he was the hardest worker, the
moot generous hearted, the most public spirited and the most lovable of the
numerous and enormously rich family which bear that, name. Though the
son and grandson of men of imtneuse wealth, Mr. Vanderbilt began as a
bank olerk after a common school education, and underwent a useful training
in industry and independence. His fortune is estimated at $125,000,000,
though it is impossible to know the exact amount. The total inheritance tax
to be paid to the Nation and State out of the Vanderbilt estate has been esti
mated at from $3,500,000 to $5,000,000.

The Cuban Orphan Bund, which is
now fully started and doing good
work among the orphaned children of
the “recoucentrados” ‘of Cuba, is
really the outcome of the American
Commission to Cuba last fall, prior to
the raising of the American flag over
tho island.
The organization is entirely non
sectarian; the children are cared for
physically and mentally, entirely ir
respective of any religious sect. Their
condition is pitiable, and the neces
sity for bettering it is imperative.
The men at the head of the fund are
men who have personally come in
contact with the misery, poverty and
utter destitution of the children of
Cuba.
These men are intelligent, farsee
ing, and fully appreciative of the
benefit which must eventually accrue
to the United States if these orphans
are proporly educated and traiued.

To better understand the terrible
condition of the Qj easants of Cuba,
who aro the ones n C w beiugbenefifced,
a few quotations from the report of
oue of the American Commission sets
the facts more plainly before the pub
lie. He says:
“Cuba was not suffering from a
commercial or financial patiie. It was
iti a state of utter prostration aud col
lapse. Business aud agricultural life
had long ceased. The whole island
was dead.

dreadful odor of every place occupied
by Spanish soldiers. There was no
decency, there was no sanitation; in
0 ur sense of the word, indeed, there
was no discipline. It was a wanton
and profligate devastation in the time
of peace.”
I Amid all this misery, and herding

started.
Mr. Charles W. Gould, who is very
prominently connected with tho fuud,
made a remark a few days ago which
corroborates a statement made by a
Catholic priest, who had just returned
from Havana, as to the patriarchal
system in Cuba. Mr. Gould said:
“1 never saw anything to equal the
love and sacrifice of the Cuban
parents. The men died first, the
women followed, and it is the children
who are left.”
These remarks give an idea ol what
the Caban Orphan Fund started oat
to do. Miss Laura I). Gill was
selected as best fitted to represent
the trustees of the fund in Cuba. Sue

Miss Wilson, and these three brave
women, to use the words of one of the
prominent members of the fund, “are
doing as true missionary work as any
ever did.”
Miss Gill writes:
“In Sancti Spiritus we found a
condition of suffering which is much
more serious than anything which we
have seen before. There arc over four
hundred children who need to be
taken care of right away, and the
town has only beon able to provide
for twenty-five little girls, who were
selected because they were physically
worse off than anybody else in town.
Although they have now been cared for
nearly six weeks, they are still mere
little skeletons, and almost make one
doubt whether it was any kindness to
help them to live a few years longer.”
Miss Gill’s last report gives most
encouraging news:
“We may now count that the Santa
Maria del Rosario work is established.
It is, as yon know, of a pnrely settle
ment charae|er, with headquarters in
a house rented from ex-Governor
Mora, in which Miss Levy and Mrs.
Baraaga, her Cuban assistant, reside
and in which the kindergarten will be
held for the present.
“The house has been furnished, and
the women are thoroughly installed
in their new home. The boys of the
town have come in quite large num
bers, requesting instruction, and sev
eral women have been in to ask if they
might be taught to sew and clean and
work according to our American
methods. The little children simply
swarm around the house. The Mayor,
General Boze, of tho Cuban army,
will havo a tract of municipal land
plowed up for them with the town
oxen, and Miss Levy is going to give
thorn seeds and simple little tools and
arrange for a man to advise them about
simple crops, hoping that in this way
she may come to influence their diet
and, to some extent, their housekeep
ing ideas.”
It lias been urged by many that the
directors of the Cuban Orphan Fund
are wasting an unnecessary amount of
money on their plant—i. e., the pur
chase of buildings for homos, orphan
asylums and schools. This is not the
case, as tbe buildings which are set
tled aud used for this purpose are prac
tically given for the purpose.

It is au uncomfortable and expensive
voyage, aud the entire absence of any
proper food in tho country renders it
necessary to take everything which
the ordinary civilized being may re
quire. Butia these days of condensed
nourishment of all kinds that is not
a very formidable matter. On arriv
ing at their destination the party of
two rods aud their followers found
the river frozen so that they had to sit
down patiently on the banks and wait
for a thaw. When that came there
was too much water, aud fishing was
an impossibility. But when the river
got into condition they had grand
sport. They fished for eleven days,
aud during that time the two rods got
a total of 282 salmon and 155 grilse,
in all weighing nearly 5000 pounds.
The best day’s catch for one rod was
thirty-three salmon and twenty-two
grilse, weighing 553 pounds in all.—
