Ho wns quito certain , however , that ttio rosourccs-of the organi zation would not bo ciml | to the demands That would lie matio in the next two months. The means used to prevent imposture wcro detailed , and the system of solicitation for relief funds by the 200 ladles who arc lookIng - Ing after that woric In as many districts , into which the city had been divided. Mr. Hush advocated turning over all funds raised to the Associated Charities for dis tribution , In order to secure n wholly satis factory and impartial relief on a business commended it system that has already self. Chairman Yates thought it would be well to Issue supplies to the various charitable organizations on request and require from them dally or weekly reports.

Jn order to guard airalnst duplicate cases it was decided to refer nil requests to the Associated Charities for endorsement aflli record. Uequosts from any charitable or ganization or relief society will also receive attention. Mayor Bemis urged immediate notion and a scarcity .of red tape methods. A motion was unanimously carried to donate llfty cords of wood to the Associated Charities and 200 loaves of bread per day to licscuo hall at once. Henry W. Yates , the chairman , was authorized to respond to all requests deserving of attention which may be reported before the committee meets again next , Saturday at noon.

To commemorate the event which gnvo to Scotland u Robert Burns nnd the world n poet , Scottish clans gathered at Wash ington hall last nhrht. Only stand ing room was to b'o had , when Chief J. C. Buchamm commenced his short address of welcome to the largn audience , nnd invited all members to n full narticipatlon In the enjoyments of the oc casion of the fourth annual concert , in celebration of the 135th anniversary of the illustrious poet. None failed , seem- incly , to enter Into this spirit , nnd with song , instrumental muslo and native dunces , the hours wcro spent with the patron saint of Scottish sonjr , whoso picture adorned the tltlo page of the program. Without exception every number was well resolved nnd generously applauded. Mr , Jules Lombard sang. "O.Aro Ye Sleeping , Maggie , " and was followed by Miss Georgia M. DeCon in "Aly Heart is Sair for Some body. " Dr. I'nttcmoiv'B Aililrcs * . "The Memory of Burns" was the subject of an address by Ucv. J. M. Patterson , who said substantially : "Sometimes Americans object to the im migrant , but never to the Scotch man. Foreigners may gather to plot against the stars nnd stripes , the Scotchman nover. Wo see in him a man after our own heart and our gates are , therefore , always open to him. Any American might bo glad to bo called u Scotchman. Why docs this nationality bear Biinh an affectionate remembrance of Robert Burns ! Because ho was the true poet of their native country. Poetry is the Incarnation of truth. It is necessary for him to enter into keenest sympathy with his theme , and Burns did this , flu sang the hopes nnd fears , the joys nnd sorrows of his people as an Intense Scotchman only can. The commonest laborer is proud of his handiwork after u perusal of Burns. There was a time when to bo a Scotchman wis not a thing to bo proud of. Wars , removals of national omblcms nnd disloyalty of the men of let ters put the spirit , of patriotism at low ebb. Burns succeeded in reviving it. He sang the nation's heroic history and her beautiful scenery , and thereby became the true patron saint of patriotism. "But ho was more than a Scotchman. Ho was the mouthulcco for all humanity. Hence it follows that wo Scotch-Irlsh-Ameri- cans take-such a keen interest in him and revere his memory by a celebration of the event of his birth. " Scotch 'jougs nnd Highland The solo , "Here's a Health , Bonnlo Scot land , to Thee. " was sung by Mrs. Fitt , and a Scotch reel , in which the participants wcro clad in highland costume , was given by Messrs. Gray , Crulckshank , Koss , McDougall and the Misses Goodlott , J. Me- Kenzle , Cruickshank and U. McIConzlo. The first number In part second of the pro gram consisted of u highly appreciated address - dress by Mr. Thomas Kllpatnclr , who , in the course of his remarks , recited a pooin by America's own Quaker poet with Burns in memory. Of him the speaker said that there could be nc greater boon to a people than a genuine poet. The theme "Tho Land We Loft nnd the Land We LIve In" was to describe the Scotch in theirnattvelaiulthorstrugglcsfoi ! existence which made their men somowhul imSttU'tit and cautious , and -which had 707 < ; closoJrnr80rsnifi- ; v of "Cannv ances , BH.OOO bbls. ; shipments , 10G714rtiblS7f ! * nms.82.Q81 bbls. 1'iTTSimno , Pay Jan. 25.

NEW Youic , Jan. 23. This was a very quiet nnd uneventful day. Only on five stocks did the transactions exceed 5,000 sliares , thcso being St. Paul , which was the loader of the market , Sugar , Burlington , Western Union and Louisville & Nashville. St. Paul re ceded \i per cent at the opening and then advanced % per cout , fluctuating between these extremes until the publication of the not earnings for Ducombor was made , which showed a heavier decrease than anticipated. This precipitated a sharp selling movement , which brought heavy bloaKsof the Block out. A break of 1 % per cent resulted , the last boinc-tho lo .vest price of the day. Sugar closed at yestcrday's final figures and at no time during the day touched a point more than J-t , per cent below that quotation. In the early dealings it rose 1 per cent , but lost the improvement in the late trading. The preferred fluctuated within a limit of 1J per cent , closing as yesterday at 8' ' . Chicago , Burlington & Quincy lost ) < j per cent at the opening , rose % per cent and In the after noon slump broke lf pnr cent , with a final rally of } & per cent. Western Union was firmly hold until late in tha afternoon , when it became affected by the general depression , but only slightly , the last sale being only yt per cent under yesterday's close. Louisville & Nashville moved between -15-y and 44X , closing % per cent above the lowest at yesterday's quotations. The othgr coal stocks were entirely conservative in their movements. London sold St. Paul nnd Lqulsvlllo & Nashville , and the west was a seller or grangers on tlio announcement that the Alchlson receivers had made a cut on corn nnd wheat from Missouri river points.
