K New York City.—Excelling in mag
nitude of scope anrl brilliance of de
sign any celebration ever held in New
York, the Hudscn-Fulton celebration
will begin on Saturday, September
25, and close on Saturday, October 9.
The commission having in charge the
details of the celebration has issued
an official circular announcing the
schedule of events for the first time.
The interest shown by foreign na
tions, especially England, Germany,
France and Holland, in the successful
outcome of the celebration was a
source of great encouragement to the
commission in the early days of its
labors. The countries named, not
to speak of others in South America
and the Orient, will be represented
in the big naval parade on September
25 by from one to five war ships, all
representative of their class. The
United States war ships then in the
ha'-bor will join in the naval pageant.
While from time to time fragment
ary items hearing upon the celebra
tion have been published, they lacked
the authoritative stamp of the com
mission. The official schedule now is
at hand, and it is an imposing array
of events. The celebration will begin
with a rendezvous of all foreign and
American vessels in the harbor, dip
ping of flags, firing of salutes and
other evidences of the entent cordiale
existing between the United States
and the world Powers. Then will
follow the first naval parade, during
which the foreign war ships will he
*>ncircled. after which there will be
a reception of officials and other not
ables at 110th street and Riverside
drive, at three o’clock in the after
noon.
The evening of the first day will
witness the opening illuminations. If
one can imagine the light a bunch of
six billion wax candles, burning si
multaneously, can send to the clouds,
then one will have some idea of the
brilliancy in and about Manhattan
nightly during the celebration. Mar
iners say lesser illuminations have
been seen from the decks of ships one
hundred miles at sea. so that it is
safe to say that many an incoming
ship will view the glare before the
coast has been sighted.
There will he nothing doing of
ficially on Sunday. September 2 6, that
day being set aside for religious ob
servances. The following day, Mon
day, there will be official receptions.

for Tuesday, September 28, and in
this pageant all nationalities will be
represented. There will be dozens
of floats and moving tableaux repre
senting events in the history of the
aboriginal, Dutch, English, Revolu
tionary and American periods. These
floats have been prepared at great ex
pense, and the costuming and effects,
aside from their historical fidelity,
will have great educational value.
Aquatic sports opposite Riverside
Park and Yonkers will take place on
Wednesday, September 29. The day
will be marked by general commem
orative exercises in educational insti
tutions throughout the State. Me
morials on spots dignified by great
historic events will be dedicated. The

chant marine, excursion boats and
pleasure craft of every description
will take place on Friday, Oct. 1. It
will be in two divisions, one starting
from New York, the other from Al
bany. The divisions will meet at
Newburg, celebrated in Revolution
ary history, and a general good time
will be enjoyed In Newburg Bay. In
the division bound north will be the
Half Moon, manned by Dutch sailors
in the costumes of the mariners of
Hudson’s day. and the Clermont, the
first, boat built by Fulton, operated
by her own steam.
Ceremonies will be held on both
these vessels at the joining of the
two divisions. At Newburg there will
be a parade, reception and the like,
with illuminations and fireworks in
the evening. The vessels taking part
in the naval parade will return to

far as Manhattan is concerned.
Safety at Sea.
Last year a thousand ships or mo r a
were lost; the year before the sea
took nearly the same toll. To the
tourist his assurance of safety lie3
In the fact that it is the sailing ves
sel, with Its dependence on the fickle
wind, that largely makes ep the tre
mendous loss.
Freighting steamers, voyaging on
unfamiliar coasts, nearly complete
the disaster roll; 'but to the great
liners, with their familiar routes,
their well known lanes of travel,
their guarded and well lighted har
bors, and all their appliances for
safety, the manifold dangers of the
ocean are only the remote possibili
ties that give a touch of adventure
to their passage from land to lanrl.
According to a writer In the Cen
tury, the probabilities of disaster are
trifling.
Every morning brings us some
story of death or accident on land,
while tihe great passenger ships come
and go in monotonous regularity,
bringing no reports more stirring
than those o? high seas that have kept
them from making new records. With
the present madness for speed and
ats attendant recklessness, our streets
demand constant alertness if you
would cross them with safety.
Speed at sea has come through
larger and more stoutly constructed
ships. So the familiar old story’ of
the sailorman at sea in a storm who,
serene in his consciousness of ample
sea room, piously ejaculated: "God
help the poor folks ashore tonight!"
is not wholly fantastic.
Oil Fuel in the British Navy.
It is curious that the British naval
authorities should have abandoned
oil fuel at a moment when in foreign
fleets it has been decided that its
advantages are so considerable as to
make it desirable to abandon coal in
the smaller craft.
it is probable that there is one sim
ple explanation of the change in Ad
miralty policy. The British Empire
(has very limited resources of oil
fuel and at present the supplies of
the navy have to be obtained from
abroad. These supplies may be cut
off in time of war and therefore the
Admiralty is compelled to sink con
siderable capital in reserve stores of
fuel.
The British navy already possesses
a large number of ships which make
large demands for oil fuel. All the
later capital ships of the navy carry
oil fuel, in addition to coal, and for
some years past all torpedo craft
have been fitted exclusively, for the
use of liquid fuel.
Apparently the Admiralty has de
cided that in view of the present
limited sources of supply and their
liability to interference it is an act
of statesmanship not to commit the
navy further in this direction. There
la every reason to hope that in the
near future additional supplies of oil
fuel will be available within the Brit
ish Empire, and then presumably the
Admiralty twill revert once more to
its use in new ships.—Cassicr's Maga
zine.
“Aim high” is a good motto, all
right, but the Detroit Free Press
thinks it doesn’t justify a man in
shooting at a balloon.
V PRESSED HARD
Coffee’s Weight on Old Age.
When prominent men realize the
injurious effects of coffee and the
change in health that Postum can
bring they are glad to lend their tes
timony for the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in North Carolina says:
“My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
er, and had been troubled with her
heart for a number of years, and com
plained of that ‘weak all over’ feeling
and sick stomach.
“Some time ago I was making an
official visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. 1 noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavour of the
coffee, and asked him concerning it.
He replied that it was Postum.
“I was so pleased with if, that af
ter the meal was over, I bought a
package to carry home with me, and
had wife prepare some for the next
meal. The whole family liked it so
well that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
“I had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mother’s con
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use. and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach, that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much Improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
“I know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the
family, but not in so marked a degree
as In the case of my mother, as she
was a victim of long standing.”
Read “The Road to Wellville,” in
pkgs.
“There’s a Reason.”
Ever read the above letter? Anew
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.
“ Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound ? ”
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. I here is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s experi
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas. —“ When I first began taking Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I bad been
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
“ For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would
never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
“My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much good I continued its use. lam now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
“I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. They w on’t
regret it, for it will surely cure you.” Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
819 Cleveland St., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine, as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
