CLOSE TO A CENTURY,
On the 9th Birthday of MIR. Henry A.
Denny, Oct. 10th. 1895.


What shall we wish thee, thou so rich in
years?
Who in His world hast seen the mighty
things
OF God made manifest; how justice
swings
Forever in the balances. nor fears
The measurement of truth; strength to
the brave;
Success to him who Wills; and no Of
tense
Unchastened; melted each his recon-
pense;
Love first and lost the mighty power to
save.
Thou in thy golden prime! so rich in
years,
And all that counts for riches on the
page
OF wisdom; the garnered stores of RI
pened age.
Oh, grand old traveller! too great for fears;
Just for this open volume of thy life
We clasp, thy handmade stronger for
earth's strife.

Office of General Secretary at the Y.

Nothing definite has as yet been done
looking to the appointment of perma-
nent secretary for the Y. M. C. Associ-
alton. although two candidates have
been under considerations There is to
be a meeting of the board of directors
on Tuesday evening and it is probable
that some action will be taken in the
matter at that time
About a week ago Harley A. Ham
mond, who is at present the secretary
Of the Philadelphia association, was in
conference with the directors and it is
understood that several Of the board
are favorable to his candidacy, al
though nothing was said at that meet
Ing. He is said to be man of large ex-
perlence In association work and if
called would doubtless make Worces
ter an acceptable secretary. 1t is not
known definitely whether he would care
to take up work here, but his coming
would doubtless be a question of salary.
The association has been without q
secretary since last February, Mr.. c.
a. Fenner filing the position during the
interval, as acting secretary.

ure the ability that itc week day

the exact number of votes he would re-

The Spanish soldiers i'm Havana are
straining every nerve to delay their
departure. Perhaps they would rather
stay in Cuba's capital than return to
Spain, or perhaps they are waiting
with the idea that the commissioners
now meeting in Paris may not come
to terms of agreement and that their
services will be required on the island.
The latter would be a vain hope, in
deed, for Spain is not likely to wish for
resumption of hostilities.
