Young was appointed by Gov. McCreary in 1876 to represent Kentucky at the Paris Exposition. Gen. Young held degrees from many colleges and universities. His earliest studies were at Centre College.

Danville, Ky. In addition to degrees at the two foreign universities he at tended, he held an honorary master of arts degree given him by the Southwestern Presbyterian University, and a doctor of law degree voted him by King's College, Tennessee, in 1891. Gen. Young was twice married. His first wife was Mattie Robinson, whom he married in 1866.

and his present wife. Eliza S. Sharp, whom he wed in 1895. Lawrence Young, a son by the first marriage, is an attorney in Chicago. Miss Eliza Bennett Young is a daughter by his second marriage.

Honored By V. C. V. Gen. Young's first great honor at the hands of the Confederate Veterans came in 1D10.

when he was made Lieutenant General, commanding the Department of Tennessee of the U. C. V. In 1913 he was made Commander- in-Chief of the V. C.

V. In-1916 he was made honorary Commander-in-Chief for life. Gen. Young is also honorary Commander-in-Chief of the Kentucky Division. Gen.

Young is also known as a his torian and author. He always has evidenced a keen interest in the prehistoric men of Kentucky and his book on that subject was written after many years of research. Other books of which he was the author include "The History of the Kentucky Constitution." "Evangelistic Work in Kentucky," "Battle of Blue Licks." "The History of Jessamine County," The History ot the Division of the Presbyterian Church in Kentucky." "The Battle of the Thames" and "Kentucky Eloquence." Gen. Young, as an attorney, has fig ured in many historic trials. In an Interstate Commerce hearing in New York in 1903 he had J.

P. Morgan, the nooted financier, on the stand. The New York World had this to say of the case: "Unlike similar hearings where he has testified, Mr. Morgan did not dominate everybody and everything from start to finish. Pit ted against him was Col.

Bennett H. Young, counsel for the Kentucky Commission. Keen as a whip, the white-haired Kentuckian firmly but politely Insisted upon holding Mr. Morgan in check, forcing him to an swer specific Questions." He "was one of the attorneys in the famous Botto will case in 1900 and is said to have tried more cases before the bar than any other attorney in Kentucky. Gen.

Young had practice! law over a half century in Louisville, and his knowledge of the courts since Civil War days was said to have been second to none. Campaign For Library. As a public citizen of Louisville, Gen. Young first attracted attention in that direction when he led the cam paign in the interest of a free pub lie library for the city. Louisville's first library, located in 1872 on Fourth street where the Kaufman- Straus building now stands, was to he sold under execution.

The Sheriff already had taken possession of the property and Gen. Young led a cam paign to pay off the indebtedness $60,000. The library was saved and Gen. Young was made vice president of the institution. In 1S81 i became president of the Library Association and remained at the head until the consolidation with the Louisville Free Public Library.

Gen. Young had a prominent part in the railroad development of the State. During his activities he made a fortune in one venture and lost it in a second. He was interested in management of the road from Hen derson to Nashville, and later in the "Air Line" railroad from New Albany to St. Louis, which is now a part of the Southern railway system.

Gen. Young was interested deeply in religious work, being a member of the Presbyterian church. In June, 1908. the cong-egation and Sunday- schools ot the Stuart Robinson Mem orial Presbyterian church tendered him a banauet in commemoration of forty continuous years of service as superintendent of the Afternoon Sun day-school. For many years Gen.

Young was superintendent of the Kentucky In stitute for the Education of the Blind Funeral Arrangements. Samuel Tate, close friend of Gen. Young, who with 'the widow is making arrangements for the funeral will announce plans for final disposi tion of the body of the Confederate leader to-day. Gen. Young was considered a bene factor by the colored people of Lou Isville.

Among the first persons to pay a tribute to Ge i. Young last night was the Rev. H. C. Weeden, a negro Meth odist minister, who was reared and educated by Gen.

Young. "Gen. l'oung's death is a great loss to the colored people of Louisville. He was foremost in work of charity among our race It was ho who first assisted in organizing the Colored Orphans' Home In 1879. He has been president of the institution more than twenty-five years," said the minister last night.

23. A recent issue of The Courier-Journal contained an article relative to the mysterious disappearance of Willie Dodd from his home in Allen county fifty years ago. The following letter which was received to-day by the postmaster at Franklin from A. Verdel Nebman would indicate that the missing man is still alive: "I recently read an article in a Kentucky newspaper bearing a Franklin, date line, concerning Willie Dodd, who seems to have disappeared from that section of Kentucky half a century ago. I believe that the man is living here.

83 Vcr Cent. Changes. Another fault being found with the work of the Textbook Commission, on the part of some, is that while only oO per cent, of the subjects were chanired bv the commission, 85 per cent, of the books were changed. The law limited chanireR to 50 uer cent. but the Attorney General ruled that this applied to subjects rather than the number books.

The various subjects are handled in series, there beinir three or four series of readers, for instance, in order to accommodate lie children of the various grades. The same applies to spellers. x-anure on tne part ot trie commission to change the histories in use Ken tucky schools was attributed by some of the sore nook men to the fact that there are not a bur series or histories like there are readers and spellers, the history, however, constituting a sud- iect.

Frankfort. Feb. 23. The State Tax Commission will commence hearings to-morrow on county assessments. This year the commission is aiming to reach an 85 per cent, assessment on real estate, personalty, bank shares and corporation franchises.

Last year they approximated 73 per rent. This method was necessitated by the decision the United States Supreme Court in the railroad' franchise cases, holding that they must be equalized with all other kinds of property, which at that time were assessed, the court said, below 60 per and in many instances ran tar below 50 per cent. This increase ot 10 per cent, over iast year's assessment is expected to add SIOO.000,000 to the general sched ule.

The raid on St. Albans, is an exploit for which Gen. Young will be remembered. On October 1S64, trenty yell- ng young men "uu gray, appeared as if by magic at the little border town of Albans, Vt. Thev spread consternation.
