Always Smiling.


 A large pathetic case has come to tho Lis tener's knowledge lately. It is that of a young woman who in early life was burned upon the cheek by slipping and falling upon b stove. The wound healed 50 that the scar that was left is now scarcely pereeptible, and does not by any means amount to blemish; but in healing the mouth on the left side of the face was shortened somewhat and the corner slightly turned up. The young lady is pretty brunette, with 8 nose slightly aquiline, face of the French type. But this odd, involuntary smile gives her face an expression of slyness which does not in the least belong to her character. If she enters 8 street ear, sits down and begin to look out of the opposite window, some male person of light disposition sitting opposite her is alto gether likely to say to himself: ''Aha, sly onel' and he immediately proceeds to lay the foundation for a filtration. The young woman ignores him completely. But there is that sly look all the time, that engaging smile, which she never abandons for 8 me ment. What is he to make of it. He has no knowledge of the fact that she fell on a stove when she was nine years old, and had that smile engraved indelibly upon her eoun- tenance with blistering iron. He sees the pretty simper, that is all, and there are chances that he may make the occasion a very disagreeable one for the young lady. The attractive deformity has in fact been the occasion of no little persecution to her, and she has acquire the habit, since it is impos- sible for her to avoid going out alone quite frequently, of never looking at anybody at all. Yet that, as we have seen, does not spare her. Wherever she goes that same sly smile goes with her. It is torment and a heaviness of heart to her.
 It is impossible to imagine that once or twice she may have said to herself: ''Since with the world must have the name of be- ing sly f1irt, why not quietly amuse myself a little in that difectionl'' If she had yie1d- ed to such temptation the excuse might be well urged for her that her accident, and not herself, was responsible; that fate had been too much for her. She would be clear ex- ample of fiirt in spite of herself She has, however, done nothing of the sort. She is 8 patient and long-sufering victim of fate which has marked her without marring.

A B1OOGY TraEeoy at NOW Canaan An
 This State.
 SOUTH NoRwALK, Jan. 25.-Leuis Drucker, a constable of New Canaan, attempted to ar rest Jacob Sheiler this afternoon at o'clock for selling liquor in no-license town. Sheiler broke pain of glass, pointed double barreled gun through it and when Drucker was fifteen feet away from the house fired, killing him instantly. Twenty-eight No. shot entered his left breast and four went through his heart. Sheiler then shot him self, putting four bullets into the left side of his temple. He will surely die. A search of his place revealed a dirk, a shotgun, knife, hatchet, hammer and 22-calibre revolver with which he shot himself, lying on the table. Sheiler is a desperate man. He had been ar rested four times for selling liquor. Drucker was forty-four years old and leaves wife and four children. There is great excitement at New Canaan. The people want to lynch Snhailer

 VICTORIA, B. G., Jan. 25.-It is now be- ieved that nearly ninety lives were lost in the Wellington colliery explosion which oc- cured yesterday. The bodies of twenty white miners were taken from the mine last night and there are about seventy more men still in the mine and there is no reason for believing that any of them are alive. Three fourths of the men still in the mine are Chinamen. The following is close estimate of the men now in the mine: Lanse Robinson, R. Robinson, Tacob Klineregar, Jehn Stewart, D. McDon- aid, Wm. Horner, James Jones, John Me Neal, Wm. French, Wm. Wilkes, Charles Hilton, Alexander Ross, - Bel lonia and Italian partner, John Marshall, R. Vincent, D. Gordon, R. Greenwell, Al Godfrey, E. Davis, John Williams, Frank Mccoy and two Belgians, names unknown, one miner unknown, two men not in employ of the company taken down by miners, twenty-five Chinese employed as runners, fourteen Chinese employed by miners as loaders. All possible endeavors are being made to recover bodies, the greatest obstacle being the after damp. No hopes are enter tained of saving the lives of those below. There is no scarcity of volunteers as the off, cials and employees of the Vancouver Coal company are rendering every assistance re- .quired. How the explosion took place is 2 q

 should auld acquaintance be forgot
 And never brought to mind?
 Should auld acquaintance be forgot
 And days O. Aud Lang Syne."
 What honest hearted son of Scotland does not admire and love the bard who wrote "Auld Lang Syne?" Robert Burns was poet of the people and at every hearthside in Scotland his songs are sung and his senti- ments cherished. Burns clubs throughout the world honored the memory of the immor- tai poet last evening. Atonement was made everywhere to tho poets name for the neg lect he met with in early youth. The New Haven Caledonian club reveled last night in the great poets memory and with music, mirth and song fttingly celebrated the ocoa- sion. Loomis' Temple of Music WAS crowded with Scotehmen and their families and the beautiful verses of the Scottish bard were sung and applauded to the echo. The efficient chairman of exercises was Chief Robert McArthur. The address of the even- ing was delivered by Rev. W. W. McLane, pastor of the College street church. He paid
 
 Burns. He said
 We meet tonight to celebrate the birth of one over whose grave in the old church. yard of Dumfries the storms of almost one hundred years have swept. Few men are so great as to cast shadow beyond the confines of their own country. One of these few is Rob- ert Burns. He is all the greater in that he was born to no place of eninence and spoke from no pulpit or professors chair. This Scottish bard started up from the furrows of the field and sung over the moors and his voice rose high into the blue depths and sounded far across the wide seas. No man becomes great without some greatness in his antecedents. There must have been some thing deep, true and noble in that humble, hard working, austere, religious father who toiled by day and taught his sons by night There must have been some wit and wisdom, some poetry and music in that fine com- plexioned, dark eyed, cheerful mother whose memory was stored with song and ballad. A flower may be the fairest of it's kind, but it shows what its kind is. Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, was a woman of rare and radiant personal beauty, and Robert Burns was man of rare and intellectual gifts, but they were only the flower and fruit of their race. We see the keen perception of funda- mental truth which Burns had when he wrote

''The rank is but the guinea stamp, The mans the gowd for a, that.n

Burns disclosed the beauty which was in the rude life of the Scottish peasantry, and reversed the melody which was in their rough dialect There are few elements of Burns greatness to which I would call atten- tion. The first of these is his keen percep- ton and hearty appreciation of beauty Burns also had tender pity for the weak and defenseless. Who but tender-hearted man would be inspired to write poem on seeing 8 wounded hare limp by him. Notwithstanding Burns seeming openness to present scenes and susceptibility to the last impression, could we find 8 higher trib- ute to pure and everlasting love than in his Highland Mary 9'' But it is in his full ap- preciation of the beauty and worth, the hero ism and nobility to be found in the lowly, that the real greatness of the man exists. I wish the laberers on the farms of our country and the workmen in the shops of our cities would read Burns poem of ''The Cotter's Saturday night" and say it to heart. I wish that they could see the digni- ty of honest toll and the pure delight of com panionship of loving hearts. I wish they could see that happy home is the fairest palace and that Christian faith and heavenly hope elevate man to the highest rank. It the deepest feelings and thoughts of the people and drew about him all classes and made his poems dear to them all. His perception of beauty, his pity, his compassion, his insight into the reality of things, his esteem of true worth and of good men, lift him above his time and make him in full sympathy with our own age and land. It was on his death bed he said to his wife: "Don't be afraid. I'll be more respected 8 hundred years after am dead than I ana at present'' So almost one hundred years after he spoke these words we have met to pay our tribute to his memory. And with his own words we crown him tonight for his wit and his worth
