wishes to broaden the culture of its stu

the names OF Saint Gaudens, Charles F.

these courses requires 81. 900 each. In

Interested In Washington.
Saint Gaudens was one of the active
spirits on the park commission for the
growth Of Washington City. and his ad-
vice was most highly regarded In the
formulation of the great park commits
sion scheme for the future DEVELOPMENT
OF the city. Their report advised the re-
turn to the plan left Us by George WASH
ington. and the development Of new por-
tions Of the city in conformity to this
pan. This park commission report was
the forerunner of a hundred cities and
towns taking up systematic study of
their own development. In the incep-
tion of the plan and In its fulillmeat to
date. We have to thank in great part
Saint Gaudens for his public service TO
the nation.
Saint Gaudens as a sculptor began his
career as a cameo-cutter. studied model
ing in the Cooper institute of New York.
continued his studies In the Beaux Arts
Of Paris, where he made a name for
himself and completed his studies in
Rome.
The fundamental principles prevail in
all of Saint Gaudens work, beauty Of
form, expression in mass and feature and
pose always depicting the character and
surroundings of the individual. He had
the wonderful faculty OF giving the spirit
and soul of the person and sentiment he
sculptured. Saint Gaudens' sculpture was
never strained or sensational to attract
attention. He never perpetuated in mar
BILE or bronze ugle passions, miseries or
heart-breaking events, but always ex-
pressed pleasant thoughts, high ideals, or
noble achievements.

or privately, to prevent its seizure.
According to reliable testimony. the
Confederate military authorities west Of
the Mississippi River had no objection
to planters selling their cotton in the
open market, and consequently. before
the wholesale seizure Of private property
by the Federals. had made no attempt
to destroy II. 1t was only after the
seizures began that the Confederate
troops burned all private stores OF cotton.
Franklin's Command Delayed.
When the cooperating forces of Ad-
miral Porter and Gen. Smith reached
Alexandria 1t was expected that they
would get in touch with the advance Of
Gen Banks troops. who were marching
up Bayou Teche. The concentration was
planned to take place on March IL.
This force numbering about Il, coo men.
was in command of Mai. Gen. William
B. Franklin. 1t was made up Of de-
tachment of the Thirteenth Corps under
Brig. Gen. Thomas E. G. Ransom. the
Nineteenth Corps. Of which Gen. Frank
lin was commander; a brigade OF colored
troops under Col. William H. Dickey.
and four brigades Of cavalry under Brig.
Gen. Albert l. Lee.
Gen. Banks planned to have these
troops leave the town of Franklin, 100
miles west of New Orleans, on March 5.
He was to Join them by water when they
should reach Alexandria But heavy rains
delayed the movement sntil March 13.
On that day the Federals took up the
line Of march up Bayou Teche.
The Teche country is the most beauti-
full OF all Louisiana, and the Federals
who fought there never tire of telling Of
its picturesque scenes. 1t was the land
made famous by Longfellow, where
Evangeline wandered in search OF her
lost lover.
Groves of orange and citron were
fanked with tiny lakes and winding
streams. whose islands and banks were
hung with cyprus and dropping MOSES

Through this garden land the men of
Gen. Franklin's column passed on the
march to Alexandria Though the cav

tarded by the long wagon trains which
accompanied il. The roads, which had
been previously impossible because OF
the rains. had not yet become firm

WORK designed to block navigation on the
Red River, and had captured II after q
short struggle. That night Admiral Por-
ter, whose men had cleared the river OF
log and raft distractions, ordered sec
ton Of his fleet to proceed to Alexan-
dria and to occupy il without delay.
The Federal vessels arrived in front OF
the town early in the evening fifty years
ago today, Just too late to capture SIX
Confederate river steamers, five of which
had passed up the falls or rapids Just
above Alexandria; the sixth, running
aground in the operation, had been
burned by the Confederates.
FederaIs occupy Alexandria.
By the morning of March Is nine gun
boats had arrived at Alexandria and

and soon had the Stars and Stripes flying
from a prominent fagpole.
In the course of the day other gun
boats and transports bearing the troops
came up the river from Fort De Russy
and the town was occupied In force.
When the troops which Gen. Smith had
detained TO destroy Fort De Russy had
completed their work and the once for
midable earthworks and iron-casemated
batteries had been reduced to ruins by
liberal charges of gunpowder. they, too,
came up and encamped at Alexandria
So, within the space Of five days-from
March IL. when the Federal flotilla en-
tered Red River. to March 16-the Con-
federates had lost their hold along the
lower reaches of the stream and the
Northern forces had secured at Alexan-
dria a firm lodgment and base for fur
ther operations.
Navy Seizes Cotton.
The progress Of Admiral Porter's gum
boats up the Red River from Fort De
Russy was not as rapid as 1t might
have been had the vessels proceeded
without making frequent stops to secure
cotton. This was the beginning OF the
so-calIed "cotton-stealing" feature Of the
Red River expedition. a feature which
was to develop into a scandal involving
the army and navy.
Cotton seizures had begun in a way
that did not warrant criticism. Many
of the gunboats in previous operations
on the Mississippi had lost their hamrock
rails. These had afforded the men
protection against sharpshooters and
guerrillas. who commonly fired upon the
vessels from the banks of the river. and
the cotton bales were taken to cover the
decks in place of the rails which had
been carried away.
But as the vessels proceeded, and as
the greatness Of the store of cotton
along the banks of the river became
evident to the men, they were Possessed
Of desire to seize this means of
wealth. II they could ship some of the
cotton to New Orleans it would bring
