in Memory of Whittier.
(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. Governor Guild will deliver the
oration of the day. It la expected that
addresses will be made also by Clarence
Steadman of New York, Former Secre
tary of the Navy John 1). l-ong, Former
Governor John L. Bates and Booker

But he had worked there but a short
time when he was obliged to return
home on account of the falling health
of his father. 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.

CHURCHES AND BANKS
MUST CHANGE. NAMES
(United Preta Leaaed Wtn.)
Plttshwrg, Pa., Dec. 13. 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

fusion.
