present was l. X. Gree, former secretary
Of the Indian commission under Presi-
dent Grant, who was secretary of the
Pittsburg association and is chairman OF
the Pennsylvania state committee. Il.
R. McBurney, general secretary of the
association in the city Of New York, is
another noted worker, widely known in
Europe. These are but few of many
men active in the work. After various
declarations the following platform has
been adopted for the whole world:
"The Young Mems Christian associa-
tions seek to unite those young men who,
regarding Jesus Christ as their God and
Saviour, according to the holy Scriptures,
desire to be his disciples in their doctrine
and in their life, and to associate their
efforts for the extension Of his kingdom
among young men,"

in 1841. His execution of this work
elected the encomiums of all his superb
ors.
He was next appointed lieutenant on
the frigate Congress, and as such served
four years in the Mediterranean, and in
1916 he was transferred to the National
observatory at Washington, where he
remained till the Mexican war. In this
he bore an honorable part, and at its
close was sent to the Pacific coast. Fill
ing various positions for the next few
years, he entered on the civil war as
full commander, assigned to the sloop Of
war Powhatan. His record Of promo
ton runs thus: Passed midshipman, 1886;
lieutenant, 1841; commander, 1861; rear
admiral, 1868; vice admiral, 1866; adj
miral, 1870. His name is inseparably
connected with the opening of the Mis-
sissippi from New Orleans to Vicksburg
A few weeks since the admiral and his
wife celebrated their golden wedding.
She, too, is a scion Of the navy, being a
| daughter of that Commodore Daniel T.
Patterson, who commanded the United
States naval forces at New Orleans dur
ing 1925, and co-operated SO gloriously
with Gen. jackson in the closing strug-
gle. He made her acquaintance in 1889,
on her fathers flagship, and their court
ship had all the romantic accessories of
cruise and pacing the deck by moon
light" in which the Coopers and Marry
ats delight. They have living four sons
and two daughters. Two of the sons are
| i, %1,, oAG
in the army; one daughter is the wife OF
Lieut.. Leavitt G. Logan, Of the navy
and the other is unmarried. Thus the
family remains as closely connected with
army and navy as it was at the beginning
Of the century.
In conclusion, it is not invidious, as Q
brave officers reputation is involved, tc
cite the fact that all the reports Of the
operations in the lower Mississippi refel
to Commander Porter in terms of the
highest praise, and that among the con
gratulatory orders issued was one ad

which reads as follows:

ADMIRAL DAVID D. PORTER
CAREER OF THE OFFICER WHOM
GEN. BUTLER CRlTlClSES.

His Action at New Orleans-Brilliant Rec
ord of the Porters-His Father in 1s1@-1b'
The Present Admiral's Career from 1928
to tho Present-His Father-in-Law.
The amazing statement recently made
by Gen. B. F. Butler to the effect, briefly
stated, that Commander (now Admiral,
David D. Porter iran away" from Forts
jackson and st. Philip with his mortal
fleet, and thus left the transports with
Buffers men on board in danger from the
Louisiana and other vessels Of the Con
federate navy, has stirred up regular
epidemic Of inquiry among all writers
specially interested in the civil war.
Tt appears that there is but one fact
made prominent in the reports which
might have seemed important to Gen.
Butler at the time and which may now
in his mind justify the statement that
his men were put in danger by Porter's
action. All that can be said Of that fact
is summed up in this paragraph refer,
ring to events after Porter's mortar fleet
had completed the bombardment and
after observe the after) Farragut's ad.
vance had passed the forts and was in
front of New Orleans:
'After the fleet had passed the forts
there remained no necessity for tho
presence of the mortar hotilla steamers
off the water battery. They accordingly
dropped down the river to the position
of the mortar schooners," etc.
1t was after this that the Confederate
fire ship Louisiana hoated down ant
actually put the transports in danger fo1
a time; but as Commander Porter was
engaged with the Confederate officers ii
drawing up the terms Of the surrende
of the forts at the very time the Louisi
ana blew up-the shock threw the sign
ers to the capitulation from their seats
it is difficult to see how this can be con
strued as reflection upon Porter. Thu
revived interest in the career of Admira
Porter justifies the following sketch:
If there is one name more than anothe
illustrious in the annals Of the American
navy, it is the name of Porter. The pres
ent admiral was born in Philadelphia il
1918, the very year his father was mad
illustrious by his achievements with tn
Essex. 1t would exhaust too much spac
to describe all his fathers services for til
United States; suffice it to say that tn
first lesson he impressed upon his Sol
was that if he would become worthy t
command, he must first learn to obey
So well did he impress it that when Davi

TEXAS GREAT EXHIBITION.

The Spring Palace, Where All the States
Products Will Be Shown.
The wonderful Lone Star state, stretch
ing from the sub-tropical belt far into
the temperate zone, and from the level
of the sea to the summit of the Sierra
Gaudaloupe, has broken out in q new
place. She has erected at Fort Worth a
wonderful spring palace, which is to be
opened on the Goth of May, and they call
ita grand "karporama, in which speci-
men of everything produced in the state
is to be exhibited as ''karporamata. F"
Overhaul your Greek lexicon, and when
found make a note on't.) ....
The building is not only beautiful in
itself, but is wonderful from the fact
that every article in its construction is a
product of Texas. The stone in the
foundation is from Texan quarries-
every sort in the state valuable for the
purpose being represented. The timber
is the oak, pine, cedar and hemlock Of
Texas. All the metals are Texan. Beau
tiful mosaics formed with sections Of pol
ished native woods adorn the interior, the
massive dome will be covered with Texan
wheat, the proper points will be embel-
lished with cornices formed from hides,
horns and skins of Texas cattle, palmetto
leaves, oleander stems, magnolias, vines,
plants and flowers Of the soil will combine
to form tropical vistas, while the shells Of
the beach, the trailing moss of the low
country and the hardy cereals Of the
north will be arrayed by fair Texan
hands with taste and skill. And finally
immense aviaries, decorated with native
flowers, will contain focks of all the
songsters of the state and make the floral
avenues vocal with natures choral song.
The human musical talent, Of course,
will be Of the highest order.

silver Deadhead Ticket,

Probably the most unique railroad pass
issued this year is that of the Silverton
Railroad company of Colorado. 1t is a
thin silverplate, about the size and shape
of passes in general use. On the upper
left hand corner Of the face of the plate
is vignette showing curve of tho road
between Silverton and Ouray. The pass
is rolled from silver bars and stamped,
the vignette and lettering, with the ex-
ception of the presidents name, being in
relief. The name is intaglio, and is gild-
ed, as are the .vignette and scroll. The
number of the pass and the name of the
person to whom it is issued are engraved
by hand.-Brooklyn Eagle.

The floor space Of the palace proper
covers 10000 square feet. The corner
towers will consist of three stories, sur
mounted by lofty points, and in the CEN
ter will rise the great dome, the main
halls intervening. Surrounding the
palace on every side is an extensive park
or garden in which will flourish many
thousand Texas flowers, and in the cen
ter of it will stand the statue Of Texas
steer of "heroic size," thirty feet high,
made up of pieces of Texas cattle. In
the halls will be exposed every fruit of
Texas, from the orange of the Gulf coast
to the wild plum and crabapple of the
Panhandle. Also, gold, silver, copper,
lead, coal and all sorts Of Texan stone
from marble to granite. The cotton,
sugar, grain, cattle, lumber and other
interests of the state will of course be
represented. Each county will also have
its special exhibit.
The Texas editors claim that it will be
the finest and most instructive thing OF
the kind ever exhibited. In the art gal
lery there will be models representing all
the details Of Texas life, from the settlers
rude hut and the cowboys tent to the
finest buildings in the cities, with repre-
sensations on large scale Of the harbo1

tary of the central branch, resides in
that city, and though comparatively a
young man is renowned worker. An
other, perhaps still more noted, is John
T. Swift, who lately returned from an
organizing tour in Japan. He found
that almost every church had its "Kiris-

are called, and are doing good work.

Another delegate was Rev. George A.
Hall, of New York, state secretary, who
has filed many positions in the work and
organized many branches. He reported
that the property of the association in
New York is worth $2,250,000, the main
building in New York city being worth
100000. Claus Olandt, German secre-
tary Of the international committee, is
but 80 years old, but has done five years
good work in organizing. Another worker

nent that the different associations
are not bound together by an express
constitution or ruled by any authorized
body In this and many other respects
it differs remarkably from any church,
society or political or civil organization
whatever. In short, this wonderful or
ganization, consisting of at least $500
bodies, diffused through nearly all civil
lied countries and powerfully affecting
the religious life of many, is simply
confederation with no central authority
having other than advisory powers, held
as one and harmonizea by mutual sym
pathy and common aim.
Nor is it easy to assign it a beginning,
though 1874 Is usually assumed as the
date of its birth, and the London asso-
citation as the original Of all the Young
Mems Christian associations now in the
world. Of course there have been from
the beginning various organizations OF
Christian men aside from the regular
churches; and in 1889 there was in Lon
don large association Of apprentices
who met to study the Bible. In ITO
Cotton Mather wrote Of the good accom-
plished by associations of young men,
and the "classes" established by John
Wesley, which laid the basis Of Metho-
dist class meetings, were something of
the same nature. Some sixty years ago
David Nasmith, of Glasgow, began to
found such organizations in England and
America, and in 1874 George Williams,
clerk in the large dry goods establish
ment of Hitchcock & Co., in London, Or
ganized his associates into Young
Mems Christian association, which in
effect proved the model for all that sue
ceeded it.
The first branch in America was organ
lied in Montreal, Nov. 25, 1851, and four
days later the second was formed in Bos-
ton. Now there are some 1900 in the
United States and Canada, with total
membership Of about 5000. There are
associations in Japan, India, China,
South Africa, South America. Australia,
New Zealand and elsewhere, and it is
surprising to learn how close commu-
nication they maintain with each other.
In 1854 the first general conference Of
American and Canadian delegates was
held at Buffalo, and twenty six similar
ones have since been held; but until this
year the Worlds International confer
ences have always been held abroad,
there being two leading committees, the
worlds central committee and that of
the United States and British provinces.
In the former there is one member for
each country with an association, TWEEN
ty-four in ALL and the largest number Of
committeeman reside in Geneva Switzer-
land, which is therefore sort of worlds
headquarters. Under this are state and
national committees, secretaries and di-
rectors; and there are travelling secre-
taries to regulate the work and assist in
new organizations
Among those present at Philadelphia
were many noted for Christian work.
