Houston, Tex., Jan. 22.—A number of
Houston's prominent citizens, including a
liberal sprinkling* of ladies, assembled at
the Y6ung Men's Christian association hall
this afternoon at 5 o'clock for the purpose
of taking steps to establish a soup hall in
this city for the benefit of the poor and
needy who have nowhere else to eat
The ministers of the city are the project-
ors of the charitable enterprise, and among
the divines present the reporter noticed
Rev. J. C. Waddill, Rev. J. G. Rankin,
Rev. Mr. Leavell, Rev. H. D. Aves, Rev.
G. M. Hateell, Rev. G. G. Woodbridge,
Rev. G. MtiUuer, Rev. P. H. Heusch and
Rev. J. Qi Green.
Just before the meeting1 was called to
order sevei$l tramps put in an appearance,
took seats In the hall and watched the
proceedings wrth great interest. They were
all strong, healthy, able-bodied men, but
wore seedy clothes.
Dr. Aves called the meeting to order and
R. F. George was elected temporary chair-
man.
Dr. Halsel pronounced a solemn invoca-
tion, in which he called down the blessings
of the Holy Spirit upon those engaged in

Mr. George asked Dr. Aves if there was
any programme miarked out. Dr. Green
was then 'elected temporary secretary and
proceeded to take down the proceedings.
Dr. Aves stated that the object of the
meeting was to assist the poor people of
the city, to discourage begging from house
to hiouse, to establish a place where poor
and needy people can procure food at a
nominal cost, to procure work for the
needy and where unfortunate people can
find a place to sleep.
Chairman George: "That is certainly a
worthy undertaking."
On motion the name of the organization
was decided to be the Associated Charities
of Houston.
Dr. Rankin thought the name was a
proper one, as Houston needs some kind of
charitable organization so that she could
have some system about relieving the
wants of the poor. He was heartily in
sympathy with the move.
Chairman George: "Dr. Aves, should we
name any of the committees this after-
noon?"
t \.}x\ Aves: "I think so, and move that a
^ornm'ttee of live be appointed on perma-
nent organization, to report at the next

pointed the following on the committee;

Dr. Aves stated that Mrs. Jordan would
give an organ recital at Christ church
<nexit Monday evening, and that she had se-
cured the best talent in Galveston and
Houston to participate, the proceeds to
be given to the association.
Mrs. Jordan was fhen appointed a com-
arnit'tee of one to solicit assistance from
tfhe merchants for the association and em-
powered to add any others that she may

to memorialize the county commissioners
and city council to take vsleps to give work
to fh«' men who may be sent to them by
the association. The chair 'appointed

Hooper and Wateon.
Dr. Aves 'asked 'the committee on per-
manent organization to meet him after ad-
journment.

pronounced the benediction and asked the
divine spirit to bless the work which had
been done, after which the association ad-

DROPPING IMT0VERSE
About the Wonders of the World's
Pair Art Portfolios.
EVER A "DARLING THEME."
Alike Inspiring to the Poetic and
the Practical.
ind Withal Pleasing to the Public
Ever Loud in Praise of the
Superb Views.
The News standing with its linger on the
pulse oil' the public, .loin; ago felt that the
Art Portfolios had stimulated an unwonted
circulation in the vital fluid of all good
people within the circle of its influence.
The first number had hardly been issued
when words of praise and congratulation
came pouring in.
These were from those in every station of
life and were merely supplemental to the
thousand's of expressions of satisfaction
whicih were daily heard at. the counters in
the Art-Portfolio department.
The sincerity of these written and spoken
encomiums was' evidenced by the fact
that the latter were an almost certain con-
comitant of an order for an extra set or
two of the views.
Not only those in various professions, but
practical men of affairs widely expressed
their satisfaction. Also those 'of a poetic
turn of mind voiced in verse their high ap-
proval of the worth of the choice gems of
art.
To all of the former The News hereby
makes thankful acknowledgment, and to ail
those wiho have told their love in rhyme it
sends greeting, taking occasion also to
print in full one of the brightest and best
of these rhythmic offerings. It is from ttie
pen of Vere V. Hunt and is as follows:
Shall there be a memory only of those
treasures ridh and rare
That were gathered from ail nations to the
portals of our Fair?
Shall the glories there unfolded prove an
evanescent dream,
Just a passing glance of sunshine front
Elyisian fields unseen?
Shall Minerva weep that only for a time her
throne had vied
For the homage of all people gathered from
the world so wide?
Yet it seemed wihen Fame's great herald
blew Ills trumpet at the close
Of tihe greatest civic triumph that the page
of history shows
That a name would only echo down the
corridors of Time
Of the chaste and lovely picture that we
saw that summer time;
And Chicago cried: "Hie pity!" Then she
stood erect and 'still
With fair hand on ivory forehead, anil 'the
words flashed forth "1 will,"
"1 will leave a lasting record of those
scenes tihe nations saw.
All precise In shade and outline, without
fault and without flaw;
I myself ihave, like the pdioenix, risen from
the burning pyre
That had threatened to eclipse me in a
lurid nlgbt of fire;
I will save my greatest victory from blight
and slow decay,
And her treasure throve of beauty I before
all men will lay."
So in glorious garments covered, but with
all sun's rays can do.
Lo! these olnanms of art ami nature eager
multitudes now view,
And the 'millions widely scattered who In
days long hence to lie
May .surround and eager listen at an aged
grain;! si re's knee,

Till when falling to tind language to por-

A Portfolio, that this paper will forever
famous make,
And will ®ay, "My little loved ones, no
poor, faulty words of mine
Can describe things as these pictures will

Vere omitted one Importalnt thing, viz.:
to expatiate a little upon the big Midway
PlaJsance, which number !i will so thor-
oughly fill the public eye that no distribu-
tions save those of this paper are in sight.
Still it is hardly tub c expected that one

fling omission by stating that "big No. 9"
will break every record, not only in the
number daily distributed but In the general
popularity with which It will be received.
if twice the cash and coupons were de-
manded it would go just the same, for the
