ADAM NEVER WAS A 10Y.

OF all the men the World has seen
Since Time his rounds began.
There's one pity every day
Earth's first and foremost man;
And then I think what fun he missel.
By falling to enjoy
The wild delights Of youth-time, for
He never was boy:
He never stubbed his naked tos
Against root or stone,
He never with pin-hook fshed
Along the brook alone;
He never sought the bumblebee
Among tho daisies coy.
Nor felt its business end, because
He never was boy.
He never hockey played, nor tied
The ever ready pail,
Down in the alley all alone,
To trusting Fido's tail;
And when he home from swimming came.
His happiness to cloy,
No slipper interfered, because
He never was boy.
He might refer to splendid times
'Mong Eden's bowers yet
He never acted Romeo
To sixeyear Juliet;
He never sent valentine,
Intended to annoy
A good but maiden aunt. because
He never WAS boy.
He never cut kite string, no!
Nor hid an Easter egg;
He never ruined his pantaloons
Applying mumblety-peg;
He never from the attic stole
A coon huns to enjoy,
To find 1.-THE old man" watching, for
He never was boy.
pity him. Why should I not?
1 even drop tear;
He did not know how much he m 'sssd,
He never will, I fear;
And when the scenes Of "other days"
Ny growing mind employ.
think OF him, earth's only man
Who never was boy.

MT. Whitlacksx Gift.

Superintendent E. W. Whitlock of the National Pipe Bending company was very pleasantly surprised last evening at his home, 241 Sherman avenue, by the com pany's employees, who presented him with 8 very handsome and expensive roll-top desk, which was purchased with fund contributed by nearly all of the forty employees. A very neat presentation speech was made by A. J. Matatall. Sup erintendent Whitlock was very much sur prised but responded ably. Mrs. Whit lock furnished fine supper, which was very much enjoyed by the many guests present.
 The best of feelings exist between Mir.
 Whitlock and the other employees, which accounts for the presentation which was made at this time on account of MT. Whit locks change of business and location. He has organized at Hartford Pipe Bending company, of which he will be treasurer and general manager, consequently he will 1 in future reside there.
 Mr. Whitlock has been with the New Haven company since it was organized, consequently he is familiar with it's ad- vancement. He will leave the company I with the best wishes of many friends. l The goods made by the company are
 sent to every nation. 300, ,000 feed water
 heaters are annually manufactured by the company.

The political situation here is getting decided ly mixed. At the democratic caucus Wednesday evening, at the first mention of his name in con nection with the position warden. B. A. Treat positively declined to be candidate, but upon th- first, and only, ballot he received large majority of the ballots cast, and again reiterated his d-chnation, but the eloquent appeatof H. F. Hall seemed too much for him to withstand and he finally decided to offer himself for the sacri- flee and accepted the nomination. Early yester- day morning after good nights rest Mir. Treat recanted and made haste to acquaint the leauing democrats of his new departure and an nounced that he positively declined to run for ness, and went so far to engage the town hall for last evening where he should before a special caucus withdraw from the field. The action on his part caused quite sensation among the faithful few that used their utmost endeavors to bring about his nomination only to have, after their efforts had by declining at the eleventh hour. At the caucus last evening Mir. Treat persisted in de- clining On the first ballot H. T. Halt got eight votes and nine were scattering. He, however, positively refused to run for warden and O. H D. Fowler was nominated by exclamation. Fl. L. Hall was nominated for treasurer.
 There is no probability of a republican caucus to nominate ticket for borough officers being held, the action taken by the citizens meeting nominations, th- ticket decided upon at that meeting is good one and will he supported by the republicans and democrats alike ana is al most certain of being elected. The meeting comprised the best element of both parties, and the ticket nominated is as follows:

THE CHURCH CONGRESS.

Doings of the Ministers at Washing
 ton-An Address by Rev. E. s. Lines
 of This City.
 WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-At the Protest ant Episcopal church congress the first speaker for the afternoon was Rev. E. s. Lines of New Haven, Conn. His address was in the nature of plea for the modern methods having their foundations upon the successful, though simpler, methods of the past He protested against the in- discriminate condemnation of all church societies. Churches have been organized up to their last possible limit, but these societies have their own spheres, and it is good work, too. The speaker pleaded earnestly for wise choice between the pos sible agencies that lie ready to hand. Or ganizations should be simple. Complex institutions are difficult to manage. The new method should be founded upon the old and there ought to be no decided break between the two. There should be adap- tstion to new conditions and environ ments, but what has been found by ex- perience to be good and successful should never be abandoned. The work of socie- ties should not be substituted for personal work, nor should the church be permitted to obscure the personal element that made the preaching of ministers in the past so successful.
 The evening topic was "Catholic and Protestant Tendencies in the Life of the Chnrch." Papers read by Rev. Carl E. Grammon, Alexandria, Va; Rev. E. Stew art Means, New Haven, Conn, and Rev. Henry Y. satterly, D. D., New York. The T., and Rev. Arthur Brooks, D. D., of New York city,

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. 19.-An entire family was suffocated by gas at Lapelle last night. Mrs. Mary Hoffman and her two sons, Peter and Newton, both grown, retired for the night and left the gas burn ing at high pressure in the stove.

Sketch of His Life-His Successful
 Stage Career.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19.-W. J. Flor ence, the actor, died short time after o'clock. The first intimation the watchers had of his death was that he had ceased to breathe. Mrs. Florence, who is in England, will leave for New York Satur- day It is believed the dead actor will be inferred in Brooklyn. Interment will probably not take place until Mrs. Flor ences arrival.
 William Jermyn Florence was born in Albany, NY, on July 26, 1881. He made his first appearance an actor in Rich mond in December, 1S49, as Peter in ''The Stranger" He soon acquired distinction as versatile comic actor. He afterward appeared in Providence, R. T., where he played Macduff to Booths Mac beth, and later on he appeared in Irish characters in New York. In 1853 he married Mrs. Mathina Littelle, sis ter to Mrs. Barney Williams. MT. and Mrs. Florence had a very successful career together on the stage. MT. Florence's best known parts are those of Bardwell Slote in 'The Mighty Dollar" and Captain Cutie in "Dombey and Son." Mr. Florence's name originally was Conlin, but as he had adopted the stage name of Florence he legalized his right to the latter.
