Letter from Burns.
During the banqut t a letter In the
handwriting of Robert Burns was read
by Dr. Steen, of Scranton. The letter
was dated "F.lloFland, June 16. 17SS,"
and refiirred to family matters. The
letter was written In a legible hand and
was well preserved. At the conclusion
of the bamitiK at 12 o'clock Rev. James
McLeod returned .thanks In appropri
ate terms, after which .Miss Julia Allen
played a pianoforte overture prepara
tory to the speeches of the evening.
Chief Joan Simpson acted us toastmas
ter and in his introductory remarks re
ferred ito tho life history of RobeN
Burns In eulogistic terms. Mrs. David
Spruks sang "Honnle Sweet Bessie"
and leave nn effective Interpretation of
this favorite Scotch ballad, which so
delighted the company that an encore
was demanded.
F.x-Ohlef James Moir responded to
"The Memory of Buiins," and said that
he could not do jus; e to the memory
of the great poet, whose name meant
Scotland condensed into n personality.
Tin y were met, not to lament over his
shortcomings, to rejoice over his aspira
tions. Burns appeared ut a time when
poMs were nt a low ebb. Helf-cultlired,
lively Imagination, endowed with com
mon sense, and all these blended with
a gift of music, made the ploughman
poet the greatest lyric poet of modern
times. Ills works created n revolution
In the world of poKn. Ills sympathy
was unbounded. Some of the eminent
critics were of 'the opinion that his
pnwer of words was Inferior to his
poetic power, but Horns, nevertheless,
was a s.'holur of his times. Captuin
Moir concluded by limiting severul ex
tracts from the Works of the poet.
Attorney J. F. .Soragg responded lo
the toast, "The President of ithe United
Stall -s' nnd said ithai they assembled
to ln IhotMr to the memory of a man,
w'h-.i, poMb'Mlnit gremt genius as a poet,
partook In part of ilhe frailties of hu
man nature, which created In him a
power thry had never Blnee F.een. In
meeting together to honor such a man
us But ns they were In reality honor
ing lh"mslve. Scotland had many
im'ln.mt writers in prose und verse
yet 'III.! people had but one one pivd,
ihe subject of their meeting that even
ing. The Scotch were a, sturdy nnd
hardworking people whose, advent to
this land was always welcome nnd if
till those who -arrived In this country
were their equal In Industry they would
be equally welcome nnd the problem
of fnitgratlon would sKin be solved,
Mr. Scragg paid a wnrm tribute to the
good qualities of the emigrants from
Scotland and trutid that the time was
not fur distant when the presidency of
the t'n', ted Hlati s would be occupied by
a repriM-ntU'iilve of tills nationality.
While speaking on 'this subject he de
nounced the unjust criticism passed
upon the president of the United States
on I his rjjlef ofltoers.
'Phey shild, as far as possible, dls-
courage all such criticism, as It tended
to weaken the nutihorlty nnd Influence
of the executive, in this country It wi
X.'tifortunntely the case that all rltl-
ets Imtifrlned themselves to he "born
political bosses," anil these 70,000.000
polltilcul basse deflred to show the
president how -to rule the country.
Urover Cleveland, the present chief
magistrate, was a clean and honest
politician end, although they differed
as to his olitolal acts, they should -respect
the prislder.'t despite their politi
cal UlfferencTH. -He wished the pres
ent incumbent many years of useful
labor tor H'hsiboncfit of tJie nation as a
whole.
MI&9 Jemima Jones gave a thrilling
rendition of "Th? Warden Martyr,"
und wan loudly -app'.auded.
Cv.-.:'jjirnan T'hctnris Kusssll responded
to itlia t-a.t or "Scotland, the Land of
Our Bli'iih," du rinse which he remarked
that such meetings inspired -hlra 'With

'Not only was !i the land or their bhth,

If any one pioreiit ha J n.- t been throutrh
tiie w.'ld b.T.utle.s of Caledonia he ar
gurd thati.-a? of the trsation earth had
been to;:t. After di i rcriliiiiff at come
li a tour la the Highlands, the
ppcsWtrr -dwelt on the chxt a.r'tsrlotics of
Scotchmen ea sliftKt -In their great
achievements in this country nd Cu,u:i
da, whi'ie they occu;-td ic;ltlons of
the gTcuitcst respaasibilty and import
ance. 1 lo contended ths.t lha songs of
a ciaratry had niuah ti do with the
mou.'dinij of ths character of the peo
ple, e.ntl In this result they had but to
refer to the -noble 'dictions und great
I'.'.auehts expressed in tho poems of
U'ocl t Bui its. Scotland was much br.t
tjr for "The Cottar's Saturday Night"
and "A Man's a I.VIan For A' That."
Hi: then guv? several interesting selec
tions from Burns' work to prove his
tcr.i'.en'.ion. Clansman I,. McMillan
gave "Scotland Yet." Mr. McMillan
ha ; a powerful vclce and his song was
well received.
ClatiFtnaii Dr. James Stein, in an elo
quent speech, respondi'd to "America,
the Land of Our Adoption," during
which he gave a praphlc account i"
tln propress of the county. The origin
of tho population of America was a
qur.-t'oii not yet solved, but the proofs
of early cccupatinn was found in ths
discovery of -t-h-a .skeletons In Florida,
the MhrcCEslppl Valley end other places,
nnd formed an hutcrcctirig study for the
people of the onutitry. America had,
however, prusrecuetl until he has
spread her arms to welcome all into lier
vast territories. We have the noblest
and greatest government, successful
and prosperous at home, and respected
and honored abroad, and this had been
t.ttalned by indomitable pluck, energy
and Industry. America has no ti.tb'3,
no ptivlleged c'.asaes or aristocracy, no
queen, or Insane, brainless kings, no
counts, dukes or earls having worth
less titled, which were u.sed for exon-
eartion of taxes; tru-i, that their higher
classes amy not be eo hlgii-ly polished
as those of other countries, but the
American people had u more manly
character than any other nation. The
Scotchmen had provrd of great assist
ance In building up this great country
by their progressive habits and thrift.
He therefore urged his Scotch com
patriots that while true to the tradi
tions of their dear old country, they
should do their utmost in bearing al
legiance to the laws and usages of this
country.
Miss Julia Alien sang "Annie Laurie,'
for which she t eeth ed the hearty plau
dlts of the company.
Mrs. David Spruks gave a pleasing
rendition of "Robin Adair." The old
Scotch song, .which was n strong re
minder of the "(and o' fakes," was
rapturously received. John M. Harris
responded In felicitous terms to "Scot
tish Manhood" and said:
Sturdiest Pcoplo in the World.
A r-lg-orous climate, simple taste,
rujfged amusements, and plain living,
have made tin.? Scotch people physic-ally
among the .sturdiest people of the
world. "As proud as a Sent" Is an old
proverb, and so far as it Indicates orld.'
in marihojd, honesty, and Integrity and
o.ve ot country, it is a true one.
Scottish mamhi.-jd is as na.tlva to the
soil or ("a'.jcf -.n'.t s Is the thistle, and
who ?hall say that the thistle has nat
had it shar In shaping the eluinacter
of tlv nation. The Scotchman Is patri
otic. He clings tcnaceously to the ties
and ar-'uc'.atn :is of his youth. No mat
ter what Ills attainments in other
countries of the wot id may have bec.i.
be returns to his own home with keener
delight in its -simplest pleasures t'iiau in
all he has aihlevnl.
We commemorate tonle'ht the mem
ory of Robert Bit) us. Burns was pre
eminently Scotland's bard. In him was
ct-yttalized a personality that repre
r hied what was the strongest and the
weakest elcm-Mits In the Scotch char
acter. Wp may be better able to appre
ciate the true worth to Scotland, and
Ondcd to mankind, of our hero wf
Kils evening and his countrymen, if v
bet take the measurement of their con-te.np-ji.irlea
In one of the sister Isles.
It t-ihotlid ba Ihefternul pride of Sect
land that In an we so cramped, In an
atmosphere jki nrtillclal. that a genuine
man lived nind thought and felt and
worked out his own rich freedom by the
banks of the Do-on. In two men, Rob
ert Burns nd Walter Scott, are real
ized the great possibilities of Scottish
manhood.
Ildiicntion in Scotland.
Kducatloti In Scotland was never cir
cumscribed by conditions of wealth.
The philosophers and educators of Scot
land have always addressed thcmrvlv. s
to Ihe people us well as to the learned
c' isses. This rendition of education is
nit prevalent in so large a d fire.'
among the .nations of continental
Kuiope. The Intellect of G-arnuny, n J
mlt.tidly In pbll'-aphlciil subjects, tiie
most powerful Intellect in the world,
has tinned -!h'' language of th people
to Its iv-ie nnd has succeeded in mak
ing It so dlllicult, so subtle and so full
of Inwrs-'.ons, us to be unintelligi
ble to the uverage understanding.
The cnmpasl.t.e mind of the Scotch
pliiik-isopher does not go so far It meets
with a n oppcA-.!ns force and halts In the
Held of common sense. ' There Is be
hind every .intellectual movement In
Scotland u practicable motive. In Its
tin mil wn.-'e, the. question suggests it
self to true thinkers, will the par
ticular movement lessen the burdens of
mankind?
She founded the om'.y system of phllo
sophy whloh has found expression In
the KtiKllsh languige, namely the
Scotnh school of liihllosophy. In the de
volopni tit of which rame of the great
est minds In the history of education
have beMi c.ng.vg. ,l. men like Read,
Stuart, llami'.lton, and McCosh.
The speaker iiV?o dwelt on the brav
ery of the Scotch, their eloquence and
buslmessi tact, mnd closed with nn elo
quent itrlbutie. to the memory of the late
Dr. McCosih, of Princeton, who was,
Mr. HarriB said, the embodiment of nil
the elements of gvnulne Scotch man
hood, '

in the olltcrnoon lie had a eonforetice
with President W. L. Betts, of the Base
Ball association, with regard to ar
rangements for the coining season.
Mr. Ramie was seen at the Wyoming
last evening by u Tribune reporter.
Ho is a. .pkaaant gen.leman who 'has
had a wide experience in base ball
matters, tills being his twentieth am
oa ua u manager, a number of whio'.i
wc:? spent in mutclng clubs in Baiil-rnoi-i

pliiow glo'.e almo-t faint to cou'em

"I like Scranton, for it seems a thor
oughly live and enterprising city," said
Mr. Barnie. "The lirst time I visited
your city was last summer when I
came here to buy Pitcher Hudson for
Lou!;?ville. I was then much impressed
with Scranton, und wiien I heard that
a manag'er was wanted here decided
that I would like to be at the head of
a base ball club in such a city. I came
and closed n contract us manager in
what I believe Is almost the shortest
time on record. You ure a business
people here and It's easy to do business
with you. That's the kind of people I
like.
"I came to Scranton today to consult
with the association officials and look
around the city. About Feb. 1 I will
come to reside permanently.
"What have I done about securing a
club? Not a great deal of a definite
nature as yet. At this time of year
players ure all after big salaries and
are hard to approach, but I have made
claims for a number of players which
gives us the right to negotiate with
them without interference from any
one. I will assemble the club in this
city about. April 15 und I don't think
there will be any lack of players by
that time, and good ones, too. I am
not making any claims as to the pen
nant, but 1 can assure you that we will
make a desperate struggle to win it.
Will Get u Hitting Team.
"My endeavor will be to get together
a hitting team that can bat out the
runs winu they are needed. It's re
sults that count in base ball and hits
are -what win games. So plenty of
hitting we must have. I will arrange
exhibition games with Pottsville, Read
ing, Cuban Giants and other clubs so
as to give the boys about lifteen days
practice before the regular league sea
son opens on May 1. That preliminary
practice will cure them of their stiff
ness and make It possible to begin the
regular season with a dash.
"I will try and secure three good
pitchers and will probably have an
other for reserve purposes. Delaney
and Quurles ure reserved by the club
as pitchers nnd Frank Fox, of Potts
ville, has nccepted terms to plav the
same position nnd -a contract has been
sent to him. He held Philadelphia and
Louisville down In mugnlllcent style
last season, and I think lie will prove
a valuable num. We will have two
regular catchers, and It Is reasonably
certain that Rogers will be one of theni.
I am negotiating with Catcher Ma
honey, of the New Kngland, but do not
know what the outcome will be. 1 have
also thought some of securing Catcher
Cote, who did good work for Louisville
Inst season. In case we secure Hess for
the lield that would also give us u fine
change catcher for an emergency. As
to Putchen, who played with Scranton
last season, I am not prepared to say
anything at present.
After Pitcher .lohnson.
T. G. Johnson, who pitched last sea
son for the Lincoln, Neb., club, Is a man
I would like to secure. He is in Cali
fornia, und 1 lmve Instructed Pete
Sweeney, who Is out there, to try nnd
land him for us. By the way, I think
Pete will cover short for the team. I
am also trying to get on track of
Pitcher Nichols, of last season's Louis
ville club. He Is a pood pitcher and t
hard hitter, but nt present 1 cannot lo- !
onto him. I will have a permanent out-
Held for I believe it tends to demoralize
a team to change one of the fielders
every day to put him behind the bat.

When the advertising atmosphere is s

have to scheme harder and find new
