their wives or sweethearts, the former

Invocation by Rev. J. P. Moffatt, pas

MacMlllan, presldd Tho other o(U
cers, whose names follow, were pres
ent First Chieftain James Lawson.
Second Chieftain Robert Bushnell
(treasurer), Third Chieftain James K.
Drnmmoml (secretary), and Fourth
Chieftain James Beattle. The commit
tee who at ranged the banquet were:
Chief MacMlllan, Second Chieftain
Bu'h.ncll, Third Chieftain Drummond,
Hush Jeffrey and Alexander Fife.
Desplta the unexpected demands up
on tho hotel service, an excellently pre
pared menu was served under the di-
rvctlnn of Proprietor McBrlde, to tho
eminent satisfaction of the large com
pany. THE VOCAL, NUMBERS.
During the post-banquet period and
tlurlnff tho toasting, the sonss "There
"Was a Lad Was Born in Kyle" and
"Auld Lang Syne" were suns by the
company and the following individual
vocal numbers were rendered: "Of a'
tho Alrts the Win" Can Bla," .James
Jtichardson, "Scotland Yet." Andrew
Swanston; "Jlv Aln Kind Dearie O,"
William Demster; "Star Spangled
Rnnner," Lindsay McMillan; "Annie
Laurie," William Lyle; "The Loss of
Balochmlll," James Rlchaidson; "Tho
Tinker's "Wedding," Robert Stewart:
"O'er the Malr Amang: tlvj Heather."
WllJIam Demster: "Tho Battle of Stir
lint,'," Lindsay McMillan: "Mary of
Argyle," Andiow Hwanston
The toasts and response were as
follows: "Memoir of Burns," Thomas
Russo'I; 'Scotland, the T.anJ of Our
Birth," ex-Chief James Molr; "Scot
tish Llteiature," John G. M"oAs.kle:
"America, the Land of Our Adoption,"
Richard Little; "The Scottish Pulpit,"
Rev. John P. Moffatt: "Tho Scottish
33orders," ex-Chief W. Scott Collins;
"Scottish Heroes," Thomas Wilson;
"The Liasles," Third Chieftain James
E. Drummond.
The post-prandlnl part of the even
ing began with a piano overture by
Mrs. Evans, after which Chief Mac
Altllnn requested the singing by the
company of "There was a Lad was
Born in Kyle." No better selection
could have "been made to put the gath
ering, speakers and listener, In proper
tumor than tho familiar refrain:
Robin was a rovln bov.
Ruutln', rovln', rantln', rovln';
Robin was a rovln' bov,
Rantln', lovln', rantln', rovln'.
Tho main spirit of the gatheiing was
expressed 'In tho toafat "The Immortal
Memory of Robeit Burns," to which
Thomas Russell responded. He re
marked that Americans possibly looked
upon Scotchmen as thoroughly bound
n tho tenets and memory of the mother
and, but the former weie too klnd
.leartcd to begrudge the Caledonians
that one night, though the latter had
no need of the Scotch deacon's piayer,
"O Lord, gle us a guV conceit o' our
eols!" A minister who went to preach in
the north of Scotland asked the beadle
if there were many Christians In tho
congregation. The beadle partly
vouched for himself and the grocer,
but added:' "I ha'o my doots o' tho
grocer." So the Scotchman's enthusi
asm for all that Is Scotch Is apt to
make Americuus think ho is practically
saying that there aro two great coun
tries In the woild, Scotland and Amer
ica, but that ho has his "doots" about
America.
ENTERED A DENIAL.
Mr. Russell denied that the Industry
of Scotland was confined to tho study
of theology, selling of whiskey, chop,
ping of logic and spinning of rhymes.
It was not great in area, but had laige
ly contributed to the world's advance
ment throuch the size and quality of
Scotch mind. A country that can boast
of Adam Smith, Thomas Cnrlyle, Lord
Macauley, Sir Walter Seott, Hugh Mil
ler, George McDonald, Norman Me
Leod, Robert Louis Stevenson, Barrle,
Crockett, Ian MaeLaren and the Jm-
The germs of consump
tion are everywhere.
There is no way btit to
fight them.
If there is a history of
weak lungs in the family,
this fight must be constant
and vigorous. -
You must strike the dis
ease, or, it 'will strike you.
At the very first sign of
failing health take Scott's
Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil
with Hypophosphites.
It gives the body power to
resist the germs of consump

mortal Burns has reason to be proud
of Its record.
Tho nnnlvcrsary celebrated last night,
Mr. Russell said, was without parellcl
lit that It was celebrated more univer
sally tlinn Hint of any other human
being. Burns Bald to hln wlfo shortly
before his death: "Don't bo nfrald; ,1
will bo respected a hundred yenrs after
I am dead." This had been proved
truer than Bums had thought. Few
Individuals have posscsed a moro In
teresting personnl character than
Burns, lowly birth, rustic boyhood,
educntlonnl struggle, his "eternal pro
pensity" to fall in lovo with every
pietty woman, hlo prayers nnd rovels,
his piety and Impiety, Intense patriot
ism, hatred of sham and hypocrisy,
lovo of nature, poverty, failures, suc
cess In tho highest realms of poetry,
his tragic death all going to make him
nnd his history something thrilling.
Bums was no more "heaven-born"
or "heaven-wroucht" than other dis
tinguished men. His success was by
hard, persevering, determined labor.
As Longfellow wrote:
Tho heights by great men reached and
kept .
Were not attained by sudden flight.
But they, while tholr companions slept,
Were tolling upward In tho night.
HIS MIND ON POETRY.
Burns may have had u natural gift
of poetic genius, but It would not have
distinguished him if he had not dili
gently cultivated It. It Is true his
hand was on the plough, but his mind
was on his poetry. He himself says
his mind was always on his songs. Mr.
Russell pleaded guilty to being a hero
worshipper In regard to Burns, Better
to worship goodness than a heathen.
A hero Implies goodness and worship
In part, nt least Implies Imitation. If
Burns can bo Imitated In his lofty
Ideals of patriotism nnd dutv and his
weaknesses can bo avoided, tho world
will be better for such a course. The
speaker did not exonerate tho poet's
great wrong, but he declined to per
mit those fallings to mar his reverence
for poetic genius. Ho did not dlscaid
the peatl because of Its shell.
Burns' "Scots wha hno wT Wallace
bled," "Wee cow'rln tlm'rous beastle,"
his old gray mare, "Meg," his hatred
of religious hypocrisy could be Imi
tated and perpetuated to the credit of
the Imitator and to the deserving me
ory of Burns, the Scottish tongue and
the Scottish nationality. Mr. Russell
asked co-operation in commemorating
the Immortal Burns, at first a nation's
poet, now a world's poet; once nd
mlred mid reviled, now one at whom
no man dare cast a stone.
His death was piteous, a flower droop
ing while In bloom, a sun setting In
mid-day, a leaf falling in mid-summer.
But "tho stars will grow cold"
and the hills and seas will bo obliter
ated and dry before his memory will
be eclipsed.
Tho stars shall fade nwaj-, the sun
himself
Grow dim with ace, and natuie sink In
years,
But thou shnlt flourish in Immortal
youth.
Unhurt nmld the war of elements,
Tho wreck of matter and tho crush of
worlds.
CAPTAIN MOIR'S RESPONSE.
Captain JaniPS Molr, cx-ch!ff of the
Caledonians, tli'e wit of the Scots, and
es Chief MacMlllan would have it, the
next mayor, responded to the toast
"Scotland, tho Land of Our Birth."
Captain Molr ignored the introduction
of Chief MacMlllan nnd got immedi
ately into a sober consideration of his
topi' with no attempt at the wit and
humor which linve made him locally
famous as an nfter-dlnner ointor.
What h'o did not say about Aberdeen,
Bonnlo Dundee, Glasgow, Edlnburg,
Sallbury Cralgs nnd the glans and
other things of Scotia and what he did
not t.ay in their favor would not le
qulie ns much space in the repeating
as would be required for what he did
say in those particulars. When he
told of Aberdeen, his own native place,
ho was at his best and inspired not
only the Aberdcenltes present but
those who hailed from other localities
and who were of Clans other than that
of the speaker.
John Knox was described as the
cie.tte.3t man Scotland had ever pro
duced. Roman htoicism, said Captain
Molr, paled alongside tli heroism of
the S'-itUsli covenanter. Of Burns, the
speaker alleged that if ho had never
written anything but "A Man's a man
fr.t a' That" ho would have been im
mortalized. Thomas Carlyle, "the In
tellectual giant of the nineteenth cen
tury," wns another Scotsman especial
ly eulogized by Captain Molr. He
paused frequently enough to facetious
ly remark upon the lighting nnd cattle-stealing
tiroclivltles of tho racs, and
to remind his honroih that they were
not nlwiys good but had a smack of
the rantln' lovln' spirit in them.
John G. McAskle, in treitlnc: tho
toast "Scottish Literature" began by
securing the passage of a motion that
Captain Molr ho fined $! for talking
too much, talking so well as to steal
much of Mr. Askle's speech and thun
der, in literature Scotland had been
moro celebrated, he said, by her nov
elists and poets than by the so-called
"h'eavlcr" wi litre. Her bard, without
anv disparagement Intended, were
clearly superior to those of Ireland
and Wales, on whom much deserving
pmlse has been reflected.
MR. LITTLE ON AMERICA.
Richard Little, editor of the Scran
tonlan, icspondcd to the toast "Ameil
o,t, tho Lind of Our Adoption." Why
America wns chosen, ho remirked, was
because no other nation under heaven
was so thoroughly imbued with the
spiiit of "a man's a man for a' that"
as the United States. Scotsmen fought
many years for freedom In Scotland
nnd so.-urcd It; a similar splilt had
piocurod tho same end In the United
States. The similarity attracted Scots
men to the newer country. Great op
portunltles wvie offpred here for ad
vancing1 In the business nnd profession
al world, but tho freedom unci oppor
tunity that eould not be utilized by a
Scotsman In Scotland could not bo
utilized by him here.
It was 1 20 o'clock when Rev. John
P Moffatt hejan his Response to tho
toast "The Scottish Pulpit." The Tri
bune's repot t clos3d nt that hour. The
lliiee other toasts, mentioned in tho
introduction to this article, followed
nnd thero were seven vocal selections

WRECK OF THE TILLIE.
Tour ot the Crow Lost --Nineteen
Survivors llrouglit to Providence on
n Conntlnc Schooner.
Providence, R. I., Jan. 25. Nineteen
survivors of the suspected filibuster
ing steamer Tlllle were brought to this
port by a coasting schooner today. Four
men were lost. Captain John O'Brien
wns among those saved.
The Tillle was abandoned last Sun
day afternoon while off Barnegat in
the midst of a terrible storm. It Is be
lieved she was scuttled by traltois who
had Joined the party on board for the
purpose of destroying the vessel. Tho
nineteen who were saved escaped with
great difficulty. The other four men
could not be taken oft nnd they went
down with the vessel.
Forty tons of dynamite, three dyna
mite guns and a considerable quantity
of ammunition Intended for the Cuban
Insurgents wns on board the Tillie
when she sank.
Captain Wnldemnr, of the Governor
Ames, says of the rescue:
"Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock,
while twenty-eight miles south by west
of Shlnnecock, we sighted a small two
masted schooner flying her colors union
down. Steering toward the steamer
and watchinir her through tho glass,
we saw that she was deep in tho wnter
and laboring heavily. Soon afterwards
w e made out two boats filled with men
Just astern of the distressed craft. The
wind was blowing forty miles an hour
and the sea was fierce. The waves
were breaking clear across the Ames
amidships, and we had our hands full
to manage our ship, but wo realized
that the steamer was sinking nnd that
many men were In peril of their lives,
nnd resolved to do what we could to
aid them. The course of the Governor
Ames was changed to bring her as
clof-e to 'the steamer as possible and
when within a quarter of a mile of her,
the live-master was hove to. Two boat
loads dropped down to the Ames and
were pulled aboard. The second mate
of tho Ames and four seamen volun
teeied to leturn to the Tillie to the aid
of the eight men still on board the
alnklng craft. They brought back four
at the risk of their own lives. Dark
ness had set In by the time they re
turned to the Ames, tho wind had in
creased to a hurricane, and the only
course left was to abandon the four
remaining men to their fate. The Tll
lle was even with the water lino at the
time, and undoubtedly sank almost im
mediately." Upon reaching Providence, the sur
vlors, after expressing their gratitude
to Captain Waldemar, left immediately
for New York. Ten of tho rescued men
were Cubans. The names of the lost
aro Horacio Pevla, Alfred Bermudez,
Cancellori nnd the steward.whose name
Is not known.
New York, Jan. 2.V-Tho steamer Til
lie sailed from this city early last
Thursday morning. She was cleared
by James McAllister, until recently
she was owned by the Vermont Central
rnllroad, but Is now alleged to belong
to Mr. McAllister.
Rumors that the Tillie was a filibus
ter were freely circulated in this city
after she had sailed, and revenue oill
cers wore said to have chased her. Mr.
McMIIsttr nlso denied that tho boat
I was connected with any filibustering
cxiitumon.
According to the clearance papers,
the Tllllo wni bound for Key West In
ballast. She was a very old boat, hav
ing been built in 1S02, and was 142 feet
long with a beam of 26 feet. When sold'
uy the Vermont Central It was said
that she would bo dismantled and turn
ed into a coal barge.
Captain John O'Brien, reported to lie
unions: those saved, Is supposed to be
the well known "Johnnie" O'Brien, who
took part In several iillhusterJnir ex
peditions. His home In Kearrie, N. J
wus watched by detectives during the
past two week. The vigilance of the
detectives was somewhat relaxed when
It was stated that Captain O'Brien was
blrk in bed with a dangerous fever,
nnd they only realized today that he
had given them the slip.

The service of cnthrnnlzatlon of Rt.
Rev. Ethelbert Talbot as bishop of this
diocese will take place on Wednesday
of next week in the Church of tho Na
tivity, South Bethlehem. As It la the
custom In the Episcopal church to hold
any important ceremony on the near
est feast day, It has been decided to
celebrate this event on tho Feast of
the Presentation of Christ In the
Temple, at 11.15 a, m. It is an unusual
service, as seldom Is a missionary
bishop transferred to a diocese as In
this ense, although this Is the second
occasion of the kind within a short
time. Bishop Talbot having already
been consecrated, that ceremony Is not
repeated. Tho term "enthronlzatlon"
ns applied to this solemn service dates
back far distant In tho church's his
tory. Jeremy Taylor speaks of it us
being "confirmed by tho voice of an
tiquity," nnd Indeed It seems to have
been thus applied from a remote period.
It will bo a most interesting event In
mnny respects and will bo attended by
a large number of people from this le
gion. The ofllccrs of the service will
