and Georjre Mcl otignll, and as followed

Thomas Kalcontr. Jr. Clansman William
Kennedy as rip "Scotland " to a very ap
preciative audience and fur an encore rend
ered the Scottish national hymn, which
Carlyle ha said "nhould be aura; with the
throat of the whirlwind." Mr. A. . Ed
warda, after slnirinjr "An MrTHmald."
reepondcd to an encore, following which
E. A. Benson spoke upon "The Immortal
Memory of Eurna."
Mr. Benaon spoke of Burns' humble
orla-ln, reciting the fact that he was born
In a, mud hut, the end c.f which f"U In a
few days after hia birth and his mother
ill oMiped to flee to a neighboring- house
In the midst of a winter storm, carrying In
her arms the most rr-'loua gift which was
tx-stowed upon her generation.
Ciampln af Ilia Moods.
In his early years Burns' bnuyant humor
tmre him up and lifted him out of the
slough of despond Into which he often fell.
The revolt of his impulsive nature against
restraint, his longing in vain for sympathy,
led him to one extreme; a quickening con
S'Jence or a fit of despondency to the other.
Where passion smothered like coals in
other men In him It leaped into flame. No
one knew himself better than Burns, and
bo honehter soul drew the breuth of life.
Fain would I say, "Forgive my foul of
fense," Fain promise never more to disobey;
But, should my Auihor health again dispense.
AJn In folly's path might go astray.
Attain exalt the brute and sink the man;
Then should I for heavenly mercy prey.
Who act so counter heavenly mercy's
plan?
Who Bin ao oft have mourned, yet to temp
tation ran?
And then from such thoughts as these
Burns would pass to the "Jolly Beggars"
or "John Barleycorn." As he was plowing
In the field one day Burns turned up a
field mouse and his heart was touched, anil
that night he composed "The Mouse:"
But. Mousle, thou art no thy lane.
In proving foresight may be vain;
The beat laid ecbemee o' mice an' men
Qang aft a-gley.
An' leave us naueht but grief an' pain.
For promised Joy.
PtlU thou are Vilest compared wl" roe!
The present only touches thee:
But. och! I backward cast my e'e.
On prospects drear.
An' forward, tho' I canna see,
I guess an' fear.
Hard W.rlt aad Its Reward.
After the dnath of his father. Burns and
lila brother conducted the farm on their
own account. At the advice of friend,
and with many mi.iglvlngs. Burns offered
hia poems for sale, and tl.e collection
brought the paltry aura of 20. Burns was
invited to Edinburgh and for a sea bob re-
wivro lue piaaaiia or ine ncoicn tnefrope
11a. He was received as a prodigy: he re
fused to be patronised; he resented the
condescension of the great and defiantly
asserted his independence. He went to the
great houses and although they did not
know It, waa the greatest guest they had
ever entertained.
Burns then returned to his home, mar-,
lied hia bonnie Jean, and settled down on
a rented farm. Here it waa that his genius
reached Its greatest affluence. It waa her
that Burns wrote "Turn O Shanter," "Bon
nie Doon." "Highland Mary," "John An
derson, My Jo," and "Auld Lang Syne."
In concluding his remarks, Mr. Benson
In Judging Burns we should remember
that he had not a leather: he had to build
without a model yea had to discover his

The Introduction to the second part of
the program was a aolo by W. IL Wilbur,
"Spring is Coming." which waa followed
by Mlsa Blanche Borenson In "My Heart la
Pair" and "toch Lomond."
Mr. Kennedy then delivered a short ad
dress upon "The Land We Left and the
Land We Live In." He Immortalised the
mother country and said that out of It had
come the heroes which had made the Eng
lish nation, and aid that the true Scot
would always place Ms first and lasting
affections with the mother country.

TALKS FREllY OF AFFAIRS IN ISLANDS

Governor Taft of tne Philippines, passed
through Omaha Monday eenlng on the
Overland Limited, on his way to Wash
ington to assume his new duties as sec
retary ot war. The governor is a heavy
weight In more ways than one. He is Jolly
and good natured. greeting everyone with
a hearty handshake and a cordial remark.
He stopped only about fifteen minutes
here, going east via the Northwestern.
In speaking of the situation In the Philip
pines, the governor said: "When you xoeak
of fighting there, there Is no fighting. I
do not believe that affairs In the Island!
were ever so quiet as at present, not even
under the palmiest SpanlFh rule. In the
south, where General Wood now h3
charge, things are somewhat different, al
though we have recently established there
a ctvll government but of course, as a
Moro cannot understand a government
without the military we have doubled up
and put in a little of both civil and mili
tary. The Filipinos are not capable at the
present time of self-government, although
I have hop-s, and it Is my opinion that
they will be In time. I could not even
gues how much time 1t will require to
bring them to a point where they will lie
capable of taking charge of affairs on their
own account. The only thing I can say
Is that we are doing the best we can for
them, and It la my opinion that time will
solve the difficulty to the satisfaction of
all concerned.
Advaatasre of the Filipino.
"The Flllrlno. unlike hts neighbor to the
south, has had a Christian tralntng for
upwards of 800 years and this has taught
him to look up to European nations, while
the Inhabitants of the southern Islands em
brace a mixture of several religions, and
all of these several faiths teach them to
look down upon Christians, which they do
not fall to do. Ton can see, therefore, that
the Filipino is In much better shape ment
ally to understand when he Is treated
right, and also to become civilised and cap
able of handling affairs of state In the
way they should be handled.
"Regarding the outlook for war between
Japan and Russia. I will state that when
I was In Japan everything looked about
as dark as It could. There was every Indi
cation of war. but 1t Is my opinion that
Russia wtll do well to stay out et the
trouble. Of course, this Is only a guess on
my part, based upon what I have seen of
the two countries. The mikado is sur
rounded by some very wise advisers, who
will not allow any hasty atep to be taken,
and we can rest assured that the ground
has been gone thoroughly over and the
situation canvassed by the Japanese, who
will do nothing unless they feel sure ef
winning.
Agwlaalde is Hole Well.
"Agulnaldo Is one of the best citisens we
have In Manila. He called upon me the
day I left and brought his pbotograph to
exchange for mine. He seemed very much
pleased to see me. but sorry that I was
going sway. He has quit plotting against
American rule and I believe thoroughly
realises at this time that he cannot hope
for success In an attempt to oust the
American army. Some others still need
the lesson that Agulnaldo has learned,
which they will get In time and then every
thing will look different Agulnaldo has
some greet Ideas regarding financial mat
ters. He has written two or three short
books on finance and some of them con
tain some good, sensible matter. His Ideas,
however, are altogether too large. For In
stance, he has advanced a scheme for the
organisation of an American bank in Ma
nila with a capital of riOO.OOP.OOO, one-fifth
of which was to be paid In and the other
$80,000,000 to be secured by the credit of the
American government He advocates the
building of numerous railroads and believes
that some of these will yet be built with
himself as an Interested party In the com
panies. There has been a remarkable
change In the former leader, which I be
lieve to be entirely dne to his learning the
true character of the American people and
government.
'The Filipinos are a very plastic rsce a. d
there Is no reason why they should not
advance in civilisation as in everything
else. Agulnaldo is living quietly with a
former leader of the Insurgents who got
Into the penitentiary and who was liberated
through the efforts of his chief. I suppose
that the return the former general la re
ceiving at the hands of his friend Is only
an equitable adjustment of favors re
ceived." Heeeptloa at the Depot.
An Informal reception was tendered the
governor st the Union station during the
few minutes that the train stopped by the
various chiefs ef the Department of the
Missouri, including Brigadier General C. C.
C. Carr, commander of the department;
Major Noyea adjutant general of the de
partment; Colonel Brush; Colonel Byrne,
chief surgeon; Major Sawyer, chief quarter
master of the department; Captain Doane,
Judge advocate of the department: Lieu
tenants Williams and Edwards, aides to
General Carr. Boms of these officers were
well acquainted with the governor and, Im
mediately entered Into conversation with
him regarding affairs In the Islands, with
which they were more or less familiar
through having been there.
Bishop Hendricks, who went west with
Captain Horton and General Bell to meet
Governor Taft at Cheyenne, returned with
him. The bishop will leave this morning
tor the Philippines to take up his duties
there, while General Bell will leave for his
post at Fort Leavenworth tonight
