ADMIRAL OF THE NAVY. Coleen Distinguished Couple. = * ADMIRAL AND MRS. PORTER ENTERTAIN 4 DIs- ‘TINGUISHED GATHERING—THE FAMILY OF THE NAVAL HERO—A NOTABLE LINEAGE—AaDMIRAL PORTER'S YOUTE. The spacious historic residence of Admiral Porter was the scene of a brilliant gathering last night in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of a wedding which took place at the Washington navy-yard that long ago, in which a daughter of Commodore Patterson was the bride anda son of Commodore Porter was the groom. The bride aud groom of a half century ago in com- memorating their golden wedding were sur- rounded by their children and grandchildren and a distinguished assemblage, which included "| prominent officials and members of every branch of the civic, military and naval branches of the government. The admiral wore the brilliant uniform of his rank. Mrs. Porter, at the request of her chil- dren, wore a dress of white silk, with front of gold brocade, and diamond ornaments. There were ten grandchildren present—seven boys and three girls, One of the latter, a young of eighteen, is very beautiful and will be adebutante next season. The admiral,though having crossed the line of three-quarters of a century of years, was hale and hearty. As he said toa friend, “Good enough for another war.” Mrs, Porter also mingled actively among her guests. The home of the admiral has often been the scene of brilliant gatherings since it was built by Richard Rush, of Pennsylvania, in 1826, when he was President John Quincy Adams’ Secretary of the Treasury. During intervening sixty-three years it has been owned and occupied by Senator Preston, of South Carolina; Joel R. Poensett, Van Buren’s Secre- Commodore Shubrick, Gen. Phil. 8. A.; Capt. Jefferson Paige, U. 8. ir Henry Lytton Bulwer and Lord Lyons, British ministers; Senator Hamilton Fish, and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hodge, from whom the admiral bought it in 1869. In speaking about these events the admiral said: ‘And in all this long history and family succes- sion itis remarkable that a death has never occurred im the house.” ADMIRAL PORTER'S YOUTH. When the line-of-battle ship Washington sixty-six years ago gracefully glided into the waters of the Anacostia from the ship-house of the Washington navy-yard, among the persons on board her sparless deck was a youth of ten ears of age. He was a bright boy of com- manding figure with a lineage ‘of heroes of the sea, This youth was David D. Porter, now the admiral of the Amer: navy, one of the two greatest naval heroes of the century. It might be said of Admiral Porter that he was literally launched into the navy as he was launched into existence amid the din of arms | and of naval triumphs. He was born in Penn- sylvania in June, 1513, precisely one year and eleven days after the declaration of war by the United States against Great Britain, He opened his eyes upon mundane scenes when his country was at the height of her vic- tories ‘over Britannia, then mistress of the seas, The British vessel Alert had been taken by the Essex, a vessel with which his father’s name is imperishably asso- 000. | ciated; the British frigate Guerriere had been destroyed by the Constitution, after one of the most desperate naval encounters on record. the by the Constitution. During his natal year the British brig Peacock was taken by the United States brig Hornet and the Boxer by the En- i erry destroyed the British fleet and h power on the great lakes of the north. Thus a series of victories, on sea and land, culminati in the defeat of the British at New Orleans, attended the arms of the republic. The embryo hero of the quarter- deck made his first voyage in 1824, then aboy of 11, with his father, who was in command of the historic sloop-of-war John Adams. The cruise among the islands of the West Indies was first nautical experience, and though not then in the service of the government he took his first lessons in nautical science and actual naval service. ON THE ROAD TO FAME. In 1827, with his father, Commodore David Porter, he entered the Mexican navy, and i F i | Hike f | f g bei i f if ti F sree ié i i 4 | itr f é 5 ¥# FE i k iy EF E i ef 5 t F i i i Ee 5 BE Fee i ii I | 7 fF, Hl i i z F daughters are Mrs. Lizzie Porter their fifth child, wife of Lieut. Les a Logan, of the navy, now on the Ossipee. = Miss Lena Porter, the admiral’s youngest child, relieves her mother of much of her social duties. She is very attractive, and a great favorite. The name of Porter has beens household word for many years among the ad- mirers of heroism. The admiral’s father, of Essex far fought against the Britixh, French, Peruvians, Tripolitans, and pirates of the Indies, and annihilated the English wi fleet in the Pacific during the war of 181: ing the years of a long career. The son, the present admiral, has had an equally brilliant career. The present generation are brave offi- cers on sea or land, and should the ity offer will doubtless be heard from in heroic services. DeB. R. K. ——— see AMUSEME) Axpavon'’s Orrna Hovsr.—The story of “Nadjy” is as interesting and coherent as light ‘a themes usually are, the opportunities it ords for gay and striking costuming bave | been well improved by the managers of the Casino company, and the scenic sets for the first and third acts are notably fiue. The mu- sical score by Chassaigne contains many num- bers of substantial merit, but none that is likely to catch the popular ear as did several of those in the same composer's earlier opera, “Faika.” The performance by the Casino company last night was not up to the ysual standard of Aronson excellence. Ina general way there wus a lack of that abundant respon- sive spirit which commonly insures success to the thinnest of light operas in the hands of « Casino troupe. No doubt this was largely due to sudden changes in the cast of the opera. Miss Pauline Hall did not appear, owing toasore throat, the management said. Miss O'Keefe, an interesting young lady, took Miss Hall's place, but made little of it because of pes a re A) lines. It —_ stated that Miss Hall wor appear to-night. | Miss Delia Stacey, who, by the iy. ee daugh- | ter of the late Col. M. H. Stacey, of the army, assumed the role to which Miss Georgie Den- | nin was assigned on the program. Mr. James T. Powers as Faragas, a part which be created in the original production of the opera at the | Casino, excited a fair amount of laughter. Miss | Marie Jansen was suffering from a cold. Mr. a as De Rosen and Mr. Olmi as Rakoezy did good work. The company has @ strong chorus and the ensembles were given with power. The audience filled the house. NavionaL Tueater.—Mr. Arthur Reban’ company enacted “Nancy & Co.” at the National theater last night with plenty of noisy spirit and horse play.

THE NAVY YARD APPOINTMENT WAS MADE BY SEC- RETARY WHITNEY, NOT BY THE NEW SECRETARY. The appointment of Frank A. Dennette, of Massachusetts, as superintendent of the ord- nance foundry at the navy-yard in this city, to take the place of John F. Burton, recently dis- charged—which was announced in Saturday’ Star—has set the tongues of the navy-yard people to running and all sorts of rumors have been started to the effect that this is but the | | Po precursor of numerous and sweeping changes in the force in the yard. This appointment, however, was made by Mr. Whitney several days before he turned over his office to Gen. Tracy, he having selected Mr. Dennette some weeks ago. Ever since the reo the yard as an ordnance foundry Mr. Whitney, it has been generally understood, has been looking for a practical man to act ‘as foreman or superintendent of ordnance. His standard was so high and the qualifications required were 80 wo ereegs that it was found to be next to impossible to secure the services of the right man. There were a number of them, but they were all receiving higher salaries from private firms than that offered by the government, Mr. Dennette was finally selected, and his ze pointment was consummated just before change of administration. Dvntne the past six or eight months the vi- cinity of 5th and M streets northe: i ee a the city and one of the healthiest locations in W: has ciated with some of the most memorable events in his country’s history. He opened the ture of New Orleans by the demolition of the forts at the mouth of the Mississippi river. He commanded the fleet co- operating with the land forces against Vicks- burg. resulting in the surrender of the city and few days later in the opening of the Mississippi river from its fountain weters in Minnesota to its debouchement in the waters of the Gu® of Mexico. His heroic services culminated in the capture of Fort Fisher, on the North Carolina coast, one of the most obstinate and_ bril. liant engagements of the war for the Union and a fitting finale to the grand events which the navy contributed to that chapter in the history of their country’s glory. ‘THE LAST CRUISE of the admiral was made in 1867 as vice-admi- ral. After his succession, in 1870, to the rank of Farragut, the hero of New Orleans and Mobile. he was adviser to the President in mat- ters relating to the welfare of the navy. In 1880 he ‘vas practically retired from active ser- vice. Since then he has been untiring in his efforts. through the medium of his pen and voice, to bring Congress and the executive to a realizing sense of the inadequacy of our naval wer, and the importance of a liberal policy in the construction of modern ships and appli- ances of naval war. Admiral Porter to-day is by many regarded as the ablest authority on naval subjects in any country. In the threat- ened situation between the United States and nization of | Germany he has been a close observer of events, In event of war the country will rally around him as the leader in naval preparations and plans of operations. HIS MOTHER. The mother of Admiral Porter was Evalina Anderson, daughter William Anderson, of Chester, Pa.,a gentleman of wealth, and for some time a representative of his district in Congress. The admiral has a miniature of his mother on ivory taken which represents a yo nary beauty. He cheri the portraiture of the one = gave him being with the tenderest emotions of reverence, admiration, and love. MRS. PORTER. Mrs. Porter is a daughter, as. her eminent lnusband is a son, of the navy. Her father was Commodore Deniel T. manded the naval forccs of the operated with ¢ fense of that city when the British wer and their commander, Gen. Sir John ham, was killed January 8, 1815. The late | lecture at the Congregational church last even- ing dealt with one of the most remarkable and | fascinating figures in French history, Cardinal | Richelieu, the period of whose activity was full | of incident of the deepest interest. lecture was the most satisfactory of the course thus far. It will be repeated to-night. Kernay’s Tuearer.—Lester and Williams, John Kernel, the Julians, Vi and Maggie Cline are artists who stand first in the favor of patrons of variety.
