Oklahoma Citizen Entertains and Instructs School Children.

Mr. George Gordoh, one of the most prominent citizens of Hobart, Okla., and brother-in-law of J. W. Coen, of this city, this morning paid a visit to the city schools, and upon invitation, spoke for twenty minutes to the sixth and seventh grades. His southern accent, his remarkable memory and his broad experience in travel made him a most interesting speaker. He spoke of the rapid yet substantial growth of his own city and state, the products of the soil, the politics of the people, the negro problem, and the great opportunities for living and for investment. He then took us a hurried trip over the mountains to Seattle and return, and delighted the school by his quaint style of narrating his own experiences on the way.

Hudson-Fulton Parade Boats Shown In Newspaper Advertisement

A picture showing the “Half Moon”, the boat which Henry Hudson used in his discoveries and explorations, and the “Clermont,” the first steamboat, as they will appear in the Hud-son-Fulton Parade, which will start up the Hudson river on September 25th, is shown elsewhere in this paper today in the advertisement of the G. E. Murray Co. Hart Schaffner & Marx, manufacturers of fine clothing, have issued this "picture. Their artist visited the reproductions of the two historic boats and has shown them in a vivid and interesting picture. Th'h picture shows the passengers on an ocean liner cheering the two odd-looking craft as they plow their way up the river. The “Half Moon,” in the foreground, shows the Dutch sailors returning the cheers in much the same manner as they probably hailed the natives on the island of Manhattan three hundred years ago. The little “Clermont,” shown in the background, was able in its original form to attain a speed of five miles an hour, according to Robert Fulton, the inventor, with the wind blowing against it all the way when it went up the Hudson river a hundred years ago, completing the first journey of importance ever performed through the power of a steam-engine.
