THE SCRAHTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY liG, 1897. ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF BURNS (Concluded from 1'aeo 3. smash thD deculoRUo In a thousand piec es, mid then tlu-y come lo us to help them prove they didn't! O, you rascalnl Heinove tin' Ih-iiiiih from your own --yea before the tittnokliiK of motes In ours'. 1 heai tlly" congratulate you Cnledonl ntiR upon the IiIkIi stnnillng of your or Knnbntlon, and I trust n.s the days K by- It will Increase In strencth: and I Tho singing of "Bonnie Sweet Hessle" 1) Miss Lydln Sailor was one of the most npproelnteil numbers of tho evening. Jlor sweet voice. and the sweet song Hlmreil honor In the deafening applause which followed Its rendition. Clansman Thomas Hussell responded to the toast "America the Land of Our Adoption." lie said: LAND Oli' ADAPIIIN. Two yea) s ago, In this banquet hall, I had the honor of responding to "Scot land, tho land of our birth," anil I had little dllltcultv then In convincing you that Scotland was the finest country on the face of the globe. Tonight the pleas task Is assigned me of convincing you, that, next to Scotland, America Is the iiiieM eouhtry on the face of the globe. Now, 1 hove no desire tonight to un duly magnify tho greatness of this country, but this I will say, with all heartiness, that native horn citizens, as well as adopted citizens, have very Bleat reason to be proud of America. Among the Spanish there Is u tradi tion that when their patron saimt, James of Compostellu, died and entered the kingdom of lieuven, the Almighty, wishing to express his appreciation of the apostle's righteous conduct on earth, olfered to grant any petition that he might then make. Kelng u thorough patriot, St. James began by Invoking the Divine blesslne upon Ills beloved country, and then entreated that Simla might always be known as possessing the bravest men, the fairest women, the healthiest climate, the most fertile soil, and lastly, the most perfect gov oiiiiiii.nl. "Slim." exclaimed the Al mighty, "all your wishes shall be grant ed, with the exception of the last; for were I to afford you that one also, all my angels would leave heaven and take up their abode in Spain." I do not say that America can lay claim to nil these virtues that this saint requested for Spain, but It comes us near possessing them all as any country voti can name. The brave men have been and are here; the fair women are here: the healthy climate Is here; the fertile soil Is here, as witnessed by the fact that we are today supplying a huge part of the world with the means of subslstance. And If we cannot claim to have the most perfect govern ment, there are hopeful Indications that matters,lu that respect ure steadily Im piolng. ONE OF GREAT INTEREST. The history of this countiy is one of exceeding great interest, and the word 'emigrant" is never absent from one s mind as we study It, and while it must be admitted that the emigrant owes tin immense debt to America, It ought al ii, uvs to be borne In mind that America nw.u nu iTiiifh. If not n exeat deal more, to th- emigrant. In fact, from the ear -lest stages in its history until now, It Is the emigrant from other countries that lias been the making of this coun tiy. And I might add, without exag gerated egotism, that the Scotch eml inant has had, and has today, no mean part in the building up of this magnif icent country. Prom many standpoints 1 mil proud of being an Amerlcnnciti zen. 1 am proud that only a few days ago this country, in a magnanimous manner, grasped the hand of Oreut Hrituln and signed u treaty which means eternal friendship between the two greatest countries of the world. To conclude let me say this, one of the most gratifying things In my life was, when 1 came to this country seven vt-ars ago, to hear of the manner In winch Americans regarded Scotchmen and Scotland. To he a Scotchman was in nenilv every instance the talisman of admission to their hearts. And such kindness, on the part oi Aiiieru-uu. should have only one result Scotchmen Bhriuld endeavor more and more to show themselves worthy citizens of a woithy country, and lie such an example in conduct and industry which will be profitable for every one to follow. THEY RECIPROCATE. And so here we meet Scotland lov ing America, and America loving Scot land! Scotland grateful to America for the cordiality of its welcome to her phoi-es America thankful for the chance of bavins in her midst such sturdy, law abiding, honest citizens os Scotchmen all the world over are; Scotland that fought for liberty before Ameirca was born America enjoying the fruits of Scotland's noble light for liberty centuries ago. .More than ever we are one neople, striving together for the advancement of the world, and showing by our action In signing this arbitration treaty, that Robert Burns was no mean prophet when he sang: Its coming yet for a' that, That man to man, the world o er, Shall brlthers be for a' that.' 51. J. Coyne wns given an encore for his sweet whistling of "The Slocking Girl" and responded with an ocarina solo, which was also warmly applaud ed. , ' Attnvnev .T. "Elliot Ttoss was then In troduced to respond to the toast "Legal Lare." His happy sallies and keen wit kept the listeners laughing and applaud ing by turns almost continually, his lecture to the party being especially provocative of applause. He said in part: , ROSS ON LEGAL LORE. The word "legal" has for its root thP Latin "lex," which menus -iu, mm "lore. ' from the Saxon 'iiir, me i""i i "lae,ron," to learn, and means tilings learned," or "learning;" so that my sub ject may lie said to mean, therefore what mav be learned In the study and practice of the law. Law itself Is of Universal application, for, as "there Is no death, but what seems so, is transi tion," so there Is no chance but what seems so, is unfathomed law. There Is a great deal in that scripture declara tion, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth thall make-thee free." I apprehend that all the miseries of lite are attributable to Ignorance; and so we are constantly exclaiming, "Oh, if I hud only known!" No matter which way wo turn or to what we give atten tion, It is law, law, law, all Is law; and ho who would master law In its most general and comprehensive sense, there fore, must be more than human for its extent transcends the limits of the finite mind. It is common to hear men of my pro sense medicine Is a jealous mis tress:" but to me this Is the veriest sort of glittering generality. Ill the same same nonse medicine Is a jealous mis tress so is theology; so Is music; so is painting; so Is merchan dising; so, In fact, Is every thing In which men would excel. In other worus, no won lounuea man cun be a genius In any line of life; and on the other hand no genius ever wns or ever will be well rouded out on all sides, Genius Is simply tho name we give to the result of aptitude usslduously ap plied In a single direction. In the domain of municipal law and that is wlmt is commonly meant when wo speak of "tho law" there are law yers and lawyers. In the same sense and to the s-ame degree that "all men are equal," all lawyeiH ale equal; hut the leuders In the profession are the men who ure saturated with the law, mellowed with general Information. ' If this were a gathering of lawyers that Is about all I would say tonight; but ns It Is not, I cannot refrain from addressing myself somewhat mildly to the laymen who are so ready to denom inate the members of my profession "rascally lawyers," und who 'are ever ready to deride uny of us who profess to lie honest lawyers, ns If such a thing were impossible. My observation Is that the lawyer Is like the moon, he shines hy rellected light only. When hlH client Is honest, he uppears honest, and vice versa. What Is to be expected then? Men lie, and cheat, und steal, and ATTORNDY J. ELLIOT ROSS. Ho Spoke About Legal Lore In a Clever Way. congratulate the community upon that leaven of Scotch honesty which you rep resent, whlch'piomiits men to be man ly under all circumstances and to recog nize, with your national bard, that w nether we be lawyers or laymen. "The rank is but the gulneii's stump; The mini's the gowd for 'u that." Next was a song "Mury of Argyl" by Third Chieftain R. AV. Rankin. Then Rev. Dr. Joseph K. Dixon responded In his usual eloquent and entertaining manner to '"The Scottish Pulpit." He said: DR. DIXON'S TALK. I feel honored to shako hand with any man whose feet have walked Cale donian soil, a land and name so ancient that It was known to the Romans with the dawning of the First century. I feel honored to breathe the atmosphere of these 1"S years of the birth of Sco tia's greatest bard, the man who icii his land, her sweetest song, the earth her saddest story, the land made glori ous ijy the history of chieftain, hero and martyr, a land that has given to the world brawny men and "sousle" las sies; a land booty with highlands, beau tiful with heather, stately with castle and cathedral, dreary with moor, stirred with her patriotic clans; a land that lias given to the world the noblest contributors to philosophy, science, let ters and theology. Tier cities, today, classic w 1th the highest learning, glori ous with the dlvinest art. it Is not strange, then, that hcouaim should have contributed to the world a pulpit the peer. In preaching and piety in tlie annals of the church. t have but to name such grants as John Knox, the ueerless preacher anu le former, before whose eloquence and character beautiful Mary bowed in fear and submission, whose prayers she feared more thun the fiercest clans that trod her native heath. There are peo ple so wise In their own conceit that they place ministers in Hie affairs of commerce and state with women, chil dren and medicine bottles, but the grit and grace, the sterling worth of Knox, fearless as death itself, won for, Scot land her eccleslatlcal freedom and made possible her glorious history and her present merited place among the peo ples of the earth. And there was Chal mers, the Cicero ot the Scottish pulpit, who swayed listening thousands under Hie spell of his matchless oratory. There was Guthrie, whose voice In the pulpit matched the song of Robert Burns In the minstrelsy of the world. There was Cuird, whose elotiuer.ee was as resist less as a mountain torrent when sum mer suns had melted the highest snow. MsMk This was Burns' Khnge of one who loved not wisely but too well and was expressed ns a comparative mitigation of his own wenkness. Burns' magnani mous heart and vivid Imagination, and his love for beauty In nil forms made him usually In love with every type ot perfect womanhood with whom he came in contnet, but also with mankind. His strong affectionate desires have been well expressed In tho many epistles and poems which have been handed down to us ns heirlooms, and who can read them without feeling the true touch of na ture In them all, when he says: My nrms about my deiuie 'O, Ole mo a ciinny hour at E'n, Then worldly men and worldly cares May a gawn tapsal teerlo 'O. Where were words ever penned Hint expressed lovo's bliss so well and so truly ns these and which at the same time express the feeling of utter con tempt for n material world which Is considered typical of the young man when he is said to have lost his head. Lovers In Scotland are not chnporoned as they are In Spain, the judgment of whether they are lit and appropriate partners for life Is usuolly left to their own decision and this Is n point well worth remembering Hint In no country, with the exception ot Ireland, are there fewer divorces, showing as Artemus Ward would have expressed It, the true gieatness of nihility. Whether love can be defined us magnetism of mental dis turbance It is the force which gives en ergy to every man and woman on tho globe. There are, however, some men who do tlie love maling on a commer cial basis and whose souls ure nkln to that of the old farmer who thus ex piessed himself nfter his wife's death: "It's gey hard to lose her. but consid ering everything she wns gey light for my wark." Such men cannot he considered lovers. Some folks spend their lives In court ing ui.d seem to consider that. marriage Is not the Ideal for them. Probably they are deterred liv the saying that only the brave deserve the fair and that only the brave can endure them. You may have heard of the Quaker lover who had courted Rebecca for seven teen years and who Ignoring the fact that love was possible In a cottage spent his energies In accumulating i lehes so that he could set up an estab lishment as luxurious us her fathers. During an afternoon's stroll lie dropped into the cemetery and being favorably Impressed with a plot of ground in n re cent addition to the cemetery he there upon decided there was certainly the place where Rebecca and him should rest when they had said farewell to things niortul. He called on his be loed that, night and enthusiastically told her of his purchase and expatiated on the beauties of the location where their bones would peaceably rest to gether in death. Rebecca was not a dreamer and this was too much for her. She retorted, "Don't you think we hud better lay our bones together while we live." It Is needless to say the engagement was soon announced. The lassies, God bless them! In your dealing with them think always of your mother and your sisters. AULD LANG SYNE.

There was Bonar, the music of whose hymns churms the glee of childhood, the strength of Christian manhood and chuls the slopes of old uge with the verdure of hope and inspiration. Dr. Dixon paid a high tribute to Ian Maclaren and then related a number of good stories told of and about .Scottish dominies, to Illustrate the humor of the Scottish pulpit. A Scotch minister went to a village near Glasgow to preach among the Highlanders. On the day pre ceding his first Sunday in the parish he took a stroll through the town nnd encountered the village blacksmith. During the course ol a casual conversation he made a pointed Inquiry as to the morals of the community. Handy, after a little hesi tancy, replied: "The morals of this place are Invested In two persons, inv self and Day here and I sometimes have my doubts about Davy." A Scotch minister wns asked out to tea with one ot the spinsters of Ills flock a daring thing lor any minister to do. The clergyman accepted with the cant phrase: "I'll cum uf I'm spared." "Weel." said the frightened woman, "I dinna want ye if your dead." There is another feature of the Scot tish pulpit they have too much of in Scotland, and, the Lord knows, we have enough 0 It here eiitlclsm. Every old woman In the parish feels it to be her prerogative and bounden duty to tell her dominie how to preach, what to preach anil how long to preach. No wonder, then, Scottish sermons are fiery and eccentric und yet notwithstanding and this shows the sublime vigor of Scotch preachers the, men of God who "Have lured to brighter words and led the way," rank with tho elonuence of a Melville, a "WUberforce und a Canning, a Hall and a. Hossnet. On every shore and In every clime may be heard the echo of voices from "Men learned and venerable Incomparable for language, criticism and devotion." Miss Grace "Wlnehel again entertained with a pleasing recitation. Mayor James G. halley was down to respond to "The City of Scranton" hut he sent u letter of regret. M. J. Coyne kept every foot in, the house tapping the floor for about live minutes with a med ley of Scottish airs on the piccolo. J. Armory Knox failed to attend to re spond to the toast "The Press," Clans inan Swansben favored the company with another martial song, Then the toast ''The Lassies" was given id ex Chlef V, Seott Collins who treated In a most entertaining manner, to wit: The wisest man Hie world ere say Hit dearly loved the lassies 'O. Hold hy Scotchmen of That l'nrt of City in Company II Armory. The Scotchmen of the North End celebrated the one hundred and thirty eighth anniversary of the birth of Rob ert Burns last evening with a banquet In Company H armory. The affair was a success In every sense of the word. Nearly 200 gdests were present, who partook of a repast prepared and served by Caterer William Llnney and his assistants. Among those present were Rev, Geo. E. Guild, Alajor Relchord, David Rirt ley. William Held, A. J. Smith, J. IT. Hopewell, George Mitchell, John Gil lespie, Attorney Dawson, Dr. Hermnn Bessy, George Al. Davis, James Smith, D.

Anderson, Captain Jnmes Moir, William Burr, Robert Piitchard, Enoch CAPTAIN JAAIKS AlOIR, Responded to the Toast, "The Land or Our Birth." Burns, whose birth was being celebrat ed tonight. He was a man that became the idol of his countrymen because he made himself one of them and so at taching himself to them that his me mory will never fnde. As all Scots love anything that is Scottish, so Burns had an undying love for his country. One cannot but be impressed with ills love of freedom and Independence. Con eluding. Air. Mitchell said that all true Scots should become acquainted with ills works, as he had done more toward preserving the beautiful dialect of the Scots than uny other ten men. THE OTHER TOASTS. This well received speech was fol lowed by a song by William Reid. In the absence of Dr. W. E. Lloyd, Dr. Herman Bessy responded to a toast on "The President." A medley of Scotch airs was then rendered by an orchestra led by Professor Walkenshaw. The toasts, "The Land of Our Birth," "The Land of Our Adoption," "The Lassies," "The Clergy," "Scottish Literature," "The Press" and "The City of Scranton" were responded to respectively by James Moir, J. B". Gil lespie, William Hill. Rev. George E. Guild, Dr. 11. E. Dawson, J. IT. Hope well nnd George 11. Shires. A bass solo was excellently rendered by Philip Thomas. The orchestra, as sisted by Miss Nessle Ross, rendered seveial selections In pleasing style.
