NEW HAVEN CALED0NIAN CLUB.

Sixteenth Annual Celebration of R b.
 ert Burns' BIrthday-Address by Rev. J. G. Rodger-other Exercises
 -The Banquet.
 Loonis' Temple of Music saw gathered to- gether last evening large representation of the Scotch men, women and children in the city, in honor of the birthday of Scotland's s greatest poet. In the absence of Dr. Bar bour of Yale, the chairman, who has not yet fully recovered from his broken ankle, MT. Robert Mccarthy oficiated as chairman and opened the exercises of the evening by some hearty words of welcoms and congrat- ulation to all present. Tables were set, running from one end of the room to the other and the audience seated in chairs be- tween them. Quite long musical programme was rendered, being entirely made up of national Scotch songs and ballads. The ''B'' quartette assisted with several very artistic selections. Miss Aggie MeCabe sang some pretty pieces in voice that showed much sweetness and purity Near the close of the programme Mr. T. McClellaud made short address upon the condition and success of the club which was heartily applauded. The address of the evening was delivered by Rev. J. G. Rodger, pastor of the first Pres byterian church recently organized in this city. Among other remarks he said: t'No man entered more fully into Scotland's life or was more thoroughly imbued with its spirit than the poet who has given name to this festival. Let me quote Professor Bas com upon the poet: Few characters so elicit sympathy and regard passing into regret and sadness as that of Burns. With large, generous impulses and an eager relish for pleasure. he sought it impetuously and miss ed it early and almost utterly. His warm emotional nature made him as ready to inn part as to receive enjoyment, yet his fatal haste and disobedience brought

FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.
 SENATE-Mr. Hoar submitted for refer ence to the Committee on Rules proposed new rule requiring that upon motion to ad journ to day other than the next legislative day the question shall be taken by yeas and nays; referred to the Committee on Rules.
 A joint resolution from the House of Rep resentatives was place before the Senate ap- propriating money for the relief of the Northern Cheyenne Indians. Upon examin- ation and discussion the spelling of some words in the bill was found to be wrong. MT. Dawes said this misspelling was such as to render the intent of Congress doubtful and the matter went over so as to permit of correction.
 MT. Berry called up his resolution submit ted some days ago providing that the leases of the bath houses and hot springs at Hot Springs, Ark, be not renewed until Congress shall decide whether further legislation there to be necessary. After debate the matter went over.
 The Seaate then proceeded to the consider ation of the electoral count bill and Mir. Morgan took the floor. He characterized MT. Shermau's amendment as entirely new. It would usurp, he said, into the hands of Congress Q power that was not given to Con gress by the constitution and a power the exercise of which under the proposed amend ment would tear down and destroy one of the electoral bodies provided by the constitution. The bill reported from the committee was worthy of the Senate and he hoped it would pass.
 At the conclusion of his remarks the Sen ate at $40 D. n. went into executive session and at 495, when the doors were reopened, adjourned.
 HoUsE-Mr Bragg, of Wisconsin, an- nounced the death of his colleague, MT. Ran kin, and offered the customary resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, and as
 oG %~ of the deceased the House at 1915 adjourn ed. The Speaker appointed Messrs. Bragg, Van Schaick, Stevenson, Guenther, Carle- ton, Henderson, of Illinois, and Johnson, of New York, as a committee on the part of the House to take charge of the funeral and to accompany the remains to Wisconsin.

Did you ever stop to think that In any
one Of the big Office buildings In Chicago
there is whole town. Take, for instance,
the Chicago Opera House block, not by any
means the largest Office building In Chicago.
On the ground floor there are dozen stores
besides the big theater, Upstairs there are
800 rooms. Iu these 800 rooms there arc 1856
tenants, subletting rooms or desks to others.
Among the occupants are 10 lawyers, IS
doctors, dentists, and so on. During one
day last week 5000 people used the four
elevators. Altogether there are in this one
building more than thousand tenants aud
employees, equal TO the business and profess
sional population of town OF 5000 peo-
pie. Each Of two or three Of the largest
Of the new Office buildings now under the
workmen's hands In this city will, when
finished and fully occupied, contain 1900
people, equivalent to the business and pro-
fessionh population Of city Of 10000
