ABOUT ROBERT BURNS.

An Interesting z Paper Read Last Kven-
 ing by Hon. Henry c. Robinson.
 In the court of common pleas room most interesting paper was read last evening by Hon. Henry O. Robinson of Hartford on Robert Burns. There was no spot, he said, where the praises of Burns should ring out louder outside of Scotland than right here in New England. In the paper there was little suggested after the pu rely literary in connection with B urns, but rather concern ing himself, his simplicity, tender nature and love for maternal nature and for man- kind. Special stress was laid on his great humanity. Burns was intensely patriotic for his county, but even more so for his human brotherhood. He was all aglow for freedom of the individual from poverty and all dire distress. He was in deep sympathy with every struggle for freedom, thought 1t was not fashionable at that time in Scotland. He had warm feeling toward those who were active in the French revolution, and later, when those terrible exoessss were in- dulged in, he was compassionate over their wild doings and not surprised that starva- tion should have brought on that climax. Burns heart also beat in sympathy with the struggling American colonists, and he lived to see our independence established. His own struggles with the world brought him in close harmony with those struggling against diversity, and hence is the secret that his songs have touched the hearts of 80 many. It is not too much to say that Burns almost created Scotch literature, and even the Scotch nationality.
 The next and last lecture of the series will be given in the same place on March 26 by ex-Governor Chamberlain of South Carolina on the Race Problem.

DIED IN HIS CHAIR.

Andrew smith, Night Watchman at
 Halls Livery Stables on Crown
 Street, Found Dead in she Omce-
 Heart Disease the Cause.
 Andrew Smith, familiarly known as "Eu- glish John," has been a we'll known charac- ter about the livery stables of A. T. Hall on Crown streeet for more than . dozen years. He was there when the present proprietor took possession, and how many years before is not known. He was . sort of night watch man. He had no homo or family in this country and he slept about the stables. He had been complaining of pain in his chest for some two or three days. Last night he went into the livery office about 0 o'clock, sat down in chair and went to sleep. Half an hour afterwards MT. Hall went into the office and found that he was dead. He sat as though asleep.
 The coroner and medical examiner were called and the man wss taken to Lewis 6 Maycock's undertaking establishment. Med- ical Examiner White stated that his death had been caused by heart disease. He drank freely and this no doubt hastened his end.
 Smith came from England about twenty five years ago. He has mother living there, who is worth a very comfortable sum of money. He was naturally of wandering disposition and during his younger days spent his money lavishly. He was forty seven years old, but looked ten years younger. He had no property or effects, and nothing Is left of English John" but his memory.
