Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan, chair
man of the subcommittee on naval pa

tees of the Hudson-Fulton celebration
commission the other day, says the
New York Times. He said that the
only place where large ships In fleet
could he properly maneuvered after
once goiug up the river was in New
burg hay. It was too far, however.
; for the fleet to proceed to New urg and
I return on the same day, aud they
| therefore recommended that the ves
sels designated go up the river, an
chor at night in Newburg hay, have an
I Illumination of the ships on that night
and he prepared to deliver the Half
I Moon and Clermont to vessels com-
| Ing from Albany in order that they
i might o<* taken on to Albany.
The fleet of meti-of war and other
1 vessels would then return from New
| burg, anchor off New York aud lie pre
pared to take part In the Illumination

Foreign governments would he asked
to send naval vessels to take part.
Admiral Coghlan said the govern
ment would he able to anchor from
thirty to thirty-five men of-war off
New York at the time of the eelebra
tion.
William Berri proposed that signal
fires he lighted along the whole Hud
son river from New York to Albany at
places to be established by the com
mission and in sight of each other.
These could be lighted simultaneously
upon a signal flashed from Washing
ton by the president, aud each signal
fire would be the rallying point for
local celebrations with appropriate ex
ercises along the entire river. The
suggestion was received with favor.
The reports of the other working
committees showed that the celebra
tion will occupy practically the wholt
of the week beginning Monday, Kept.

If it be an art it is the art
of telling a story simply and
convincingly.
Nobody knows more
about the strong qualities
of an establishment than
the proprietor who oversees
it. Other things being

rare that t! « employer will not b« the

The reason is simple. He
knows the goods from A to

chased them. He knows
his aims. His arguments
canj weight because they
are convincing.
