BY JOE LINCOLN.
What? hercatlast! Come in, come in,
Well, Admiral, how be yer?
Yer're welcome home from ‘cross the foam,
We're mighty glad ter see yer.
It does seem good ter have yer back
With us, yer blood relations,
Yer've been away so long, ter stay
Amongst them furren nations.
We've heard from yer quite frequent since
Yer took our Eastern tiller;
We read it yit, that note yer writ
So plain upon Manila,
We liked that message that yet sent
Them folks who riz yer dander,
It showed direct, we'd git respect
Where you was our commander,
We sent yer off, a commodore,
Few knowed or cared about it;
But now yer name is bright with fame
And all the world can shout it,
Yer went away an unknown man, =
Yer public praise was—zero;
But now it's flung from every tongue,
You're back agin, a hero,
Yer actions show us what yer be—
A plain man, though a bold ones
" They show us that yer wear a hat
No bigger than yer old one,
e love yer, not alone because
a Yer fought a fight and won ity
It seems ter me lots more ter be
The manly way yer done it.
No use, we Yankees like a man
Who's there all kinds er weathers—
Who doesn't shirk, but does his work
Without the fuss and feathers,
That's why, George Dewey, we're here terday,
yer hand and shake it,
With this address, # The hull U, S,
Is yourn; step in and take it,"

might to catch the first glimpse of the
admiral’s flagship and to carry their
message of ‘‘welcome to port’’ to the
returning sea fighter who has made
glorious his country and his country’s
flag on the other side of the world.
Every one of the excursion craft, ev-
ery private yacht, every tug and lighter
will make its showing, more or less
brilliant in the white lights of the elec-
tric lamp. Ané& on the private yachts
especially the illumination will be dec-
orative, with flag designs in red, white
and blue lamps, and messages of wel-
come in large letters strung between
the masts. ;
The ferry companies’ slips and the
steamship and railroad piers along the
East river will be lighted, and their
electric designs will be varied, accord-
ing to the taste of their designers and
the plans of the chief engineers. On the
North river, where the larger railroad
and steamship lines have their termi-
nals, the display will be even more bril-
liant. The Pennsylvania railroad was
the first to submit a plan of its illumi-
nation of the Jersey City terminal to the
committee. On the great train sheds
facing the water will be the words
‘““Welcome, Dewey,’”’ in enormous let-
ters of electric lamps, with the facade
of the station picked out in electricity.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad also has reported its
plans to the committee. They were de-
signed by Paul H. Brangs, the com-
pany’s chief electrician, and they show
an elaborate display.
All the other railroad companies have
made plans as elaborate and complete
as these two. Private and corporate
owners of pierson both rivers have been
seen individually and have given their
plans confidentially to General Howard
Carroll, who is chairman of a subcom-
mittee on river and harbor decorations,
and the promise of a continuous blaze
of electric light for miles along each
bank of the two rivers may be expected
confidently to be fulfilled.

OUR WELCOME TO DEWEY.

affair, although not of such lasting ma-
terial. Staff, which glistens whiter than
any marble and looks just as substan-
tial as granite, will be used.
A double line of ornate columns ex-
tending on either side of the arch will
make a magnificent and imposing ap-
proach to the stately pile.
The arch is to be adorned with sculp-
ture symbolizing tho power of the
United States as a maritime nation.
The main idea of the sculptural adorn-
ment will be to have the four great
piers one continuous series, personify-
ing the four subjects of: :
Patriotism (or the call to arms), war
(the fight), the return (the victors re-
turning to their native land), peace (the
volunteers again taking up their peace-
ful occupations).
These subjects are being treated in
an allegorical way. with realistic groups
in the immedi-
ate foreground.
Above these, act-
ing as finials to
the four col-
umns, on each
side of the great
group, will be
portrait figures
of admirals and
representatives
of the navy, such
as Paul Jones,
Decatur, Perry,
Farragut, Foote,
Hull, McDon-
ough, Cushing
and Porter. Each
of these pieces
will be 12 feet
high. There will
be medallions of
other naval he-
roes.
The four span-
drels over the
main entrance
will be filled
with figures sym-
bolizing the At-
lantic ocean and
Pacific ocean on
one side and the
North river and
East river on the
other, thus em-
phasizing New
York’s position
as the most im-
portant commercial city of the country
The keystone of the arch on either
side will be surmounted by a great
eagle. The apex of the arch will be sur-
mounted by a quadriga of sea horses,
drawing a ship at whose prow, with
uplifted wings, will stand a triumphal
figure suggestive of victory. Thisquad-
riga is being made by J. Q. A. Ward,
president of the National Sculpture
society. Other noted sculptors have
various parts of the work in hand.
ONE OF THE COLUMNS.
In addition to this grana arch two
‘arge columns will be erected in Mon-
sague terrace. Brooklyn. This site is
on the heights above Wall street ferry
terminal, and the columns, which will
be 150 feet high, can be seen from all
parts of the harbor.
bus the moet prominent feature of
the decorations will be the electrical
welcome which will blaze out on Brook-
lyn bridge. The words ‘‘Welcome,
Dewey,” will shine in letters 86 feet
high, and when first lighted, Thursday
night, the returning admiral can easily
read them from the deck of the Olympia
even should he decide to anchor ten
miles outside of Sandy Hook.
The legend will be 800 feet long, and
more than 8,000 electric lamps of high
candle power will be used to form this
mideir signal of welcome to the ad-
miral. The device will be strung on the
central part of the span between the
towers and above the railroad tracks,
so that it can be seen and read up and
down the East river as well as for miles
down the bay. 5 :
The lights forming the letters will be
pure white, and at each end of the de-
sign will be appropriate embellish-
ments. The reflected light from this
display, which Warren W. Foster, sec-
retary of the committee, says will be
the greatest display of electrical illu-
mination the world ‘ever has seen, can
be seen in every direction within 50
miles.
The bridge will be decorated by day
with bunting and flags its entire length, |
but its greatest glory will be seen by
night. In addition to the great central
illumination there will be many other
lights, and from the towews four great
searchlights will play their piercing
rays in every direction.
The legend which the big bridge is
to bear will be repeated dozens of times,
in letters from 5 to 20 feet high, all
along the water fronts of the two rivers.
All the steamship companies, big and
little, from the ocean liners to the craft
that ply between ports on the sound
and the Hudson, have made prepara-
tions for illuminating their ships to an
extent never before dreamed of except
by the practical men whose life study
is the possibilities of electricity.
The effect of these on the water at
night will be on a large scale what the
illuminated trolley cars show when
they dash through the dimly lighted
suburbs like blazing meteors. Every
ship that carries one or more search-
lights will go down the bay on Thurs-
day night and focus the brilliant rays
of the lamps on the deck of Dewey's
ship.
Electricity, which will play so prom-
inent & part in the public and private
decoration and illamination of the city
and the water, will have its first innings
on that Thursday night. Never before
probably have been seen so many craft
blazing with lights from stem to stern
a8 will take a cruise down the bay that
The New York City Hall park and the
hall itself, as well as the borough hall
in Brooklyn, will be illuminated under
the direction of the subcommittee of
which Lewis Nixon is chairman. Mr.
Nixon has received a design from the
Edison Electric company calling for the
greatest illumination that old City Hall
park ever has seen. Strings of electric

lamps are to be festooned among the
trees, across the walks, around the foun-
tain and everywhere that there is a peg
or a branch to hang a lamp upon.
These lights will be cclored as well
as white, and the big arc lights which
will be hung in arches at a greater
height also will chow a variety of colors.
The park will look like the scene of a
be in New York to welcome the aa-
miral. It is estimated that no less than
3,000,000 visitors will swoop down on
New York during the two Dewey days.
This will be an unprecedented incur-
sion, even for the metropolis.
The citics and towrs within 100
miles of Gotham will empty a large
portion of their people into the metrop-
olis by day excursions.

greater distances will come thousands
of others. Even in the far west Dewey
clubs are being formed. These clubs
are made up of people who are bouna
to be in New York. when Dewey gets
there. Agents are sent ahead to arrange
for accommodations. and special trains
are to be chartered. ;
The New Yorkers think the big crowd
can be accommodated sor:ehow or oth-
er. During the Columbian celebration
i of several years ago New York took care
of at least 1,000.000 visitors. and since
then her facilities have been greatly in-
creased.
During the Columbian celebration
the New York hotel men worked to-
gether and handled the emergency with-
out difficulty. Weeks before the event
they had. through advertisements, com-
piled a list of householders in the vicin-
ities close to the various hotels who
wished to rent rcoms without board,
and they communicated with these
householders.
Then, to save hotel clerks the bother
of looking after outside details, they
opened a central bureau in Union
square, where persons crowded out of
the hotels were sent and quarters se-
lected for them according to their ideas
of economy and convenience.
The same plan is to be carried out at
the Dewey celebration. It is the opin-
ion of James H. Breslin that if 1,000,-
000 persons have to remain in New
York overnight during the Dewey fes-
tivities New York can take care of
them. There would necessarily be a
good deal of ‘‘doublinz up.'' but Mr.
PLAN FOR DECORATING BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
garden party or a lawn festival on an
immense scale. The hall itself will be
ablaze with lights, which will show its
decorations of flags and bunting by
night as well as by day. Similar illu-
minations are projected for the borough
hall in Brooklyn.
It is impossible to tell all the wonders
that will be accomplished in the way of
electrical illumination by private in-
dividuals. Every electrician in the city
is working on plans for one or more
buildings, and all the electrical shops
are crowded with orders, which must
be turned out before Dewey day.
On land there will be a daylight dis-
play which has never been equaled in
New York or any other city. The great
metropolis will be fairly swathed in
red, white and blue bunting. From ev-
ery point where a staff can be stuck out
a flag will be flung to the breeze. Each
of the big mercantile houses is planning
its own scheme of decoration, and the
smaller ones as well. People who visited
New York soon after the battle of San-
tiago were astonished at the lavish dis-
play of bunting, but this display is to
be eclipsed when Dewey comes home.
A word as to the crowds which will
Breslin thinks the city hotels, re-en-
forced Ly apartment houses and board-
ing houses that would be temporarily
pressed into service under hotel general-
ship, could handle such a multitude.
It must be remembered that every
day in the year 100,000 people arrive in
and leave New York without creating
a ruffle on the surface of things.
But the visitor to Gotham must ex-
pect to be somewhat crowded on the
Dewey days. He must not look for
elbow room on the streets and must be
prepared to hang on to cable cars by
his eyelids. He will see sights worth
looking at, however, and when he finds
himself in the center of acres of densely
packed humanity two blocks from the
line of parade he may console himself
by the reflection that he is doing his
part toward making Dewey’s welcome
home the most impressive spectacle
with which the nation has ever hon-
ored one of its citizens.
