Centennial Celebration Certain.
Probably fifty citizens assembled in
the conrt room, Friday evening, at the
call for a public meeting to take the in
itial steps preparatoiy to Bntler Coun
ty's Centennial Celebration. On mo
tion of R. C. McAboy John H. Negley
acted as Chairman, and stated the pur
pose of the meeting, viz:—deciding
when we should celebrate and selecting
a committee on preparations. Jas. M.
Maxwell and C. M. Heineman were
chosen secretaries.
Lev McQuistion moved to celebrate
in 1900 and John Mitchell seconded; J.
D. McJunkin moved to amend in favor
of 1903 and J. M. Greer second.
Atter discussion by Walter Graham,
Jos. Vanderlin. Wm. Findlev, Win.
Forquer, W. B. Dodds and others, the
amendment was withdrawn and it was
unanimously decided to celebrate in
1900 W. A. Forquer then moved that
a general executive committee of ten
for organization be appointed, with Mr.
* Negley as chairman. This committee
to add to its itself two good men from
each ward, borough and township in
the county, to appoint sub-committees
on finance, entertainment, music, pro
gram, etc., and to select a date for the
celebration. The committee is Andrew
W. McCollougb, H. Boyd, W. A.
Forquer. Joseph C. Vanderlin. Jas B.
McJunkin, Wm. A Stein, J. M. Leigh
ner, Will G. Donthett, J. Henry Trout
man and Aaron E. Reiber.
The executive committee is to meet at
the call of the chairman and continue
the work. What time they will select
can only be guessed at. We suggest
the long, balmy days of June as the
most pleasant and convenient time for
the county as a whole.
THERE will probably be work for
about a dozen minor committees in con
nection with the coming Centennial of
our county. Some of these sub-com
mittees will be of more importance than
even the general committee that has
been appointed. So all will have work
to do.
Dewey's Weleonie.
Last Friday and Saturday were the
"greatest" days New York city has ev
er seen, all in honor of Admiral Dewey,
and his officers and men from Manila.
On Friday there was a great Naval
Parade, from the lower harbor up the
Hudson to Grant's Tomb and back.
The Olympia led the column of war ves
sels, and they were surrounded and fol
lowed by thousands of other vessels,
while the wharves, and buildings over
looking the river and Riverside Park
were crowded with people.
On Saturday morning the great land
parade formed in Riverside Park, near
Grant's Tomb, and marched down
Broadway and Fifth Ave. to the lower
part of the city.
The police boat Patrol bearing the
Admiral and a committee of reception,
consisting of St. Clair McKelway, Wil
liam McAdoo, Ex-Goyernor Levi P.
Morton, Senator Chauncey M. Depew,
Richard Croker and W r arren M. Foster,
arrived at the pier a few minutes after
the troops had come to a halt.
No sooner bad the Patrol arrived than
the cheer for Dewey was taken up.
From mouth to mouth, from house to
house, from street to street, from square
to square, the cheer was carried. From
the Battery to Harlem, from East river
to the Hudson there was one cry—
Dewey! Dewey'
On landing Admiral Dewey was met
by a second committee of reception.
Admiral Dewey, pale, evidently einbar
rased, modest and apparently overcome,
walked with firm step from the boat and
took his place in the carriage awaiting
him. The bugle sounded again, the
drums tapped, the people cheered and
the line of march was started up Broad
way towards the City Hall. Here May
or Van Wyck awaited the official visit
from Admiral Dewey. Behind the Ad
miral's carriage pranced tne horses of
troops. Each side of the street was lin
ed with a shouting mass of humanity.
From every window, from every house
top, came deafening cheers and hand
clapping.
A reception and hundreds "of invited
guests awaited the Admiral at the City
Hall.
After the presentation of the loving
cop the Admiral was escorted to the
foot of Warren street. Through a
struggling mass of persons his carriage
was driven. The greatest difficulty
was experienced in getting to the river
without driving down some of the thous
ands who lined the streets cheering him
and pressing forward to get closer to
him.
Reaching the foot of Warren street
Admiral Dewey, Mayor Van Wyck and
the reception committee boarded the
steamboat Sandy Hook, which took
them to the foot of West < >ne Hundred
and Twenty-ninth street. On the way
up the river luncheon was served. On
this boat were, besides the reception
committee, Rear Admirals Sampson,
Howison and Philip.
The steamboat anchored amidst a din
of enthnsiasm. For over a mile around
Grant's tomb there was one mass of
moving, surging, cheering humanity.
The arrival of the Sandy Hook was tin
signal for everyone to press forward.
As if with one impulse these hundreds
of thousands of persons rushed towards
the river. Police lines fell before the
cheering, enthusiastic crowd like chaff
before the wind.
For a time it. was almost impossible
for Admiral Dewey and his attendants
to land. Once landed Dewey made his
way to his carriage, with Mayor Vn.n
Wyck, and the greatest parade in the
history of America was began.
The scene along the line of march
was inspiring. It seems too big too won
derful, for realization. Patiently with
out a murmur, good-natured without a
care, these millions of persons lined Riv
erside Drive, upper Broadway and Fifth
avenue. Their only fear seemed that
they would not catch sight of the here
of the dav. From the gray dawn thej
had stood there npon the curbs and ter
races, fighting with desperation to re
tain a point of vantage.
LIEUTENANT CULUNSL JAIES E BSRHSTT
Of the Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers, on I'is Lr.zm Pony, "Baby."
And at last Dewey had come, Pre .
ceeded by squads of police the parade,
35,000 strong, fell in line in the follow I
ing order:
Major General Roe and staff, sailors
from the Olympia, Admiral Dewey, J
other naval officers and their escorts.
Governors of States and their escorts,
members of the reception committee
and the Municipal Assembly committee,
all the naval officers. Governors and ;
committeeman riding in carriages: then j
came the naval brigade of the North I
Atlantic fleet, a brigade of troops from
the regular service. New York State
troops and troops from other States and j
the unarmed section of civil war and i
other veterans and miscellaneous organi
zations. -
At 1130 o'clock the command "march
was given, and the parade started.
Down Riverside drive Dewey was
driven. With hat in hand he was bow
ing constantly to the great masses that
thronged each side of the street. At
Seventy-second street the parade turned
into Central Park west, thence down
to Fifty-ninth street, thence east to Fil
th avenue to Washington square.
When in front of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, where the triumphal arch is
built. Admiral Dewey left liis carriage
to review the parade from the reyiewing
stand. The Governors not commanding
organizations in line also took seats in
the reviewing stand.
The ovation to Admiral Dewey
reached its climax at this point. The :
cheers drowned the sound of the music.
The taps of the droms were lost
Everything was turmoil.
On Monday Dewey had a great re
ception at the National Capital. There 1
was a great parade, and Dewey and Mc-
Kinley stood together on the reviewing
stand." Tuesday evening Dewey w;t- i
banquetted at the White House.

The following statement and resolu
' tion were adopted at the last meeting
of the ministerial association, and all
the pastors of the county are respectfully
urged to cooperate in the concerted
movement protiosed.
'"lt is admitted on all hands thai there
is a rising tide of Sabbath desecration
in this county. The relentless rush tor
business and for pleasure does not make
■ due pause tipon the Lord's day for rest
and worship according to God's appoint
ment.
The ministers of Butler and Entler
county, along with others who want
the Sabbath kept holy as God's own
institution, view with concern this con
dition of things, and stand ready to
make their continuous and earnest
protest against it. And in order that
they may make their protest as strong
and far-reaching as possible, they here
by resolve to present the cause of Sab
bath observance to their own congre
gations on Sunday, Nov. 5, 1899, and
; urgently invite all ministers of our city
and county to join with them in this
movement.
