(Dotted Press Leased Wire.) Boston, Mass., Dec. 13. The celebra tion of the centennial of the birth of the poet. John G. Whittier, for which a large section of New England has feen preparing for months past, was ushered in today with anniversary ex ercises In the public schools. Scores of celebrations are on the. calendar for the next three days, but none will be of greater Interest than that In the poet's native town of Amesbury. The meet ing will be held In the town hall Mon day, when a varied program of ad dresses, recitations from Whlttler'a poems and reading" will be carried out under the direction of the citizens' com mittee.

In 1820, for a few months, until his father's death, he ed ited the Haverhill Gazette. He then for some time edited the New England Ile view, published at Hartford, Connecti cut, where he gained some experience and won many friends. But In a short time his own 111 health forced him to apain return to his home at Haverhill. He soon published his first book, a poem of New England legendary life, entitled "Moll Pitcher." His scattere poems then amounted to 300. In No vember. 1831. he gave the world his first anti-slavery verse, "To William Lloyd ClarriHon." By 1840 books of his poems wero household property. Whittier was household name. 8chool boys could quote his poetry. He was declaimed in the lyceums. From 1847 till 1860, The National Era. a Washington anti-slavery organ, published the greater part of Whittior's vTaes. With the establish ment of the Atlantio Monthly In 1867 the first appearances of Whlttler's new poetry were made in New England. "Snow Bound was printed In the six ties, and achieved immediate popularity After the war Whittier lived at Oak Knoll. Danvers and Amesbury. It was an extremely quiet existence. He was almost a lifelong Invalid. Though born of a sturdy and long-lived stock, he In herited no great robustness or rrame, and. when he was about 17 years of age he Injured his constitution permanently by overwork on his father's farm. He had a weakness of the heart that not ly gave him naln. but for many years was a constant menace to his life. Veneration In Wew England. In his later life there were several events of Importance which served to show the veneration in which New Eng land held her poet. As he grew older the schools came to observe his birth day and the Whittier societies held special exercises. On his seventieth birthday, men, and women of letters contributed to the press notable appre- i clations in verse and prose. And 10 years later the governor and many other prominent citizens went to Dan vers and formally congratulated him. The rtoet had manv friends. He num bered amontf his familiar acquaintances men or the highest political rank and tha principal literary men and women of his time. Almost every noted auth oress of America might be numbered as having been among his most Intimate mends. L,ucy Hooper. Gall Hamilton, urac. Greenwood, sarah urne jewett Lucy Larcom, Louise Chandler Moul ton and Elisabeth Stuart Phelps were a rew or tne many who honored mm wltn their love and reverence. Whlttler's life was so largely domes tic that it had been Dassed almost wholly In the company of women first his mother and sister at Haverhill and Amesbury, then his niece at Amesbury and finally his cousins at Oak Knoll. And- it was in the house of th. daughter of. one of his oldest and dearest friends at Hampton Falls. New Hampshire that the poet. died. September 7, 189Z.

Some of the advocates of the Greater Pittsburg pro ject, which is now about to become an accomplished fact, have found that there Is no rose without Its thorn. One of the results of the merger of the cit lea of Pittsburg and Allegheny into one munlclpslity is the necessity for chang ing yie names or Danks and churches In the two cities, wherever such names are identical. The churches will be obliged to change their names to a greater ex tent than the banks, and of the churchea the Presbyterian and United PreBDy terian denomlnationa are most affected. Thla Is because these two denomination use numbers In their names to a greater pxtpnt than other denominations. The vexatious matter will be taken up for consideration at the annual meeting today of the Allegheny Pres bytery of the United Presbyterian church. Whatever course Is decided uoon at the meeting will probably be nirrewl noon bv the other presbyteries, though there Is some talk that a few of the churclies will oppose any cnange oi name and that the matter may finally be taken into the courts ror settlement. Nearly a score of churches of the two denominations In Pittsburg and Alle gheny possess the same names and half (if these, or course, win o uuugea io change names in order to avoid con fusion.

One young woman who followed her woman', intuition rather than the advice of her men friends, is reveling In $1,000 that has fallen Into her lap, "just like finding money," as she expressed It A year ago the opportunity was offered to buy stock, at 26 cents a share.

A chance came to sell part of It, and now she has SI, 000 for which she has not tolled, and which she means to enjoy after her own fashion. "It's the first money I ever had in my life that I didn't work hard for," she said today, "and I'm going to have a whole year of doing aa I Ilk. with it." How many women there are In. th. world and men too who have never enjoyed a dollar that they did not exchange hard toil to posse..; long hours in the office or store. service of the most exacting order no wonder they hold tightly to tha precious colna that are gained ao dearly. And It ia just thla diaposl tion to hold onto every cent, to hoard, dollar by dollar, that keepa them In the grinding, drudging poal tlon.
