Fifth Annual Gathering of Cavalier
County SCOTS do Honor to
the Memory of
THE AYERSHIRE BARD.
Langdon Overlooked With Visitors
That Came Here to Observe
Burns Natal Day.
THE AYRSHIRE BARD.

The Burns celebration OF last Thurs.
day has come and gone, and the 14lst
anniversary of the birth of Scotland's
famous poet was given the due homage
and observance, which for years past
has made the Caledonian Society of
Cavalier county famous throughout the
state. The day was as bright and full
of sunshine as any that has been ex-
perienced this winter and as the crowd
of visitors rolled merrily into town in
buggies they evidentally forgot the
biting cold wind that had kept them
inside the day before. Although nothing
on the days progrem was taken up
until evening the people from the country
began to gather in town early in the
forenoon and by the time the trans
from the south and the west arrived the
the number of guests would easily figure
up to 500, additions to which continued
to fill up the town until early in the
evening.
It is doubtful if ever the court room
of the court house has accommodated a
larger gathering of people than it did
Thursday night. Long before the arrival
of the ofioers of the society, headed by
the pipers, the hall was jammed to the
doors, every inch of space clear to the
platform in the front end being occupied.
1t is estimated that 600 spectators were
present when the program started.
The program of the entertainment
lasted fully two hours and half and
held the attention OF the big audience
nearly 200 Of whom were standlng-from
start to finish. The bag pipes aud kits
of the Scotch together with the decora
tions of heather and thistle which en-
circled the portrait Of Burns seemed
enough to make all present feel as if
their names were prefxed with "Mac".
Chairman Jas. Laldiaw, Of Crystal City,
Man., in short address drew attention
to the event which had caused such a
gathering Of Scotch from all over the
northern part Of the state and Manitoba,
making his remarks brief on account of
the length Of program that followed.
Before introducing the other pgtici-
pants, however, he read kilograms and
letters of regret fIom prominent persons
at distance, who were prevented from
being present by other engagement.
The order OF program is as given below:

appearance at intervals of the Mclean
Boys in Scotch dance numbers were
among the most thoroughly enjoyed and
the sword dance at the programs close
interested all.
Remarkably good order prevailed
considering the size of the gathering
and the management deserve praise
for its skill in handling such large
gathering.
When the the program bad been COM
pleted the floor was rapidly cleared
while the crowd retired to partake of the
banquet that was served simultaneously
at the Armory Restaurant, the Palace
and Ct. Northern Hotels. A good per-
centage Of the people returned to dance
or to watch the others dance Morning,
however, came to the rescue of the tired
musicians, for the approach Of dawn
witnessed the departure of the dancers
for home.
The celebration of the anniversary of
the birth of Robert Burns is an annual
event in Lapgdon, that the people look
forward to.
Attorney Kneeshaw, among the most
enthusiastic of Scotchmen of Pemblna
county, wired his regrets at not being
with the Caledonians here a1 the Burns
celebration.

WORK OF A FIEND
Dastardly Attempt of Some Culprit
to Burn the City of Langdon
Early Monday Morn
THE ESCAPE FROM CREMATION
Of Number of Persons Was Very Nearly
Miraculous-The Culprit Seen Skulking
Away Into the Darkness, But No One
Has Apprehended Him.

On Sunday night or rather on Mon
day morning, this town had passed
through what may be said to be the
narrowest escape it has ever had from
complete destruction by fire. About
four o'clock on Monday morning Frank
Lackey was awakened by the stumbling
sonnd of man ns he fell down the
stairs on the outside of the bui.>.i.., ,,
occupied By the New York Clothing
company. Seeing the light flash on the
west window Of mis- room, he lost 10
time in pulling himself out the door to
the scene CT the fire. The buiId,n.

joined by Il lean-to, that can be reached
by one step, the roof OF which comes np
to foot of the sill of the window OF MIR.
Lackey's room, and it was here tn. fire
was found te be making very good
start A bucket of water sufficen to
extinguish the blaze in qnick order aru
and a turkish bath towl about halt
destroyed by the fire was picked oml
thoroughly saturated with kerosene.
while close in the distance, but too l:.r
away to be recognized the culprlt was
making good his escape. The night as
will be remembered was bitterly cold
one and with the wind blowing strong
gale from the north and west, there is
little doubt that had the perpetrator
picked his steps more carefully, there
would have been n spectacle on the
streets Monday morning that would
have been simply awful to behold, fer
the flames would have lowered the husi-
ness houses on both sides of the street
like grass l'efore scythe. No satis-
factory clue has as yet been worked out,
but there is IL hideous odor of suspicion
floating in the air, it may be that before
this reaches the press the strong
arm of the law will have been placed in
motion to rectify the deed and hring the
criminal to justice Grand Forks Herald.

Nearly every performer was compelled
to respond to an encore, showing that
the efforts of the program committee,
as we'll as the ability of those taking
part, were admirably suited to the
occasion. The pipers, Allan McDougall
and son, of Milton, and Louis Mcleod,
of Osnabrock, naturally numbered as
first favorites and their several selec-
tions delighted everyone. Twice the
young McCully's, brother and sister,
of Pilot Mound, Man, gave Scotch
reels and other dances in Highland
costume, executing difficult steps to the
music of the bag pipe. Rev. Austin, the
the Bishop of Hannah, was there in fine
form with song that easily got HIM an
encore and he came back at the crowd
with "Scots Wba Hae," and then it did
seem as if the applause would never die
out. Howard Finley was about the
youngest on the platform in kits and
left the audience we'll pleased with the
way that he recited "Falthful Scotty."
The dance in costume of Misses Daisy
Wight and Gertie Carpenter, two little
girls from Mimic, gave the program a
very pleasant variation and showed that
they had been carefully drilled in the
different figures they executed IN such
excellent time to the music furnished
by Miss Maggie Leonard, of the same
nj Init To
was given the two vocal numbers on
the program by Prof. McRea Of Dravton
the latter. entitled, 1.-THE HiQhlandman's
Toast" was especially admired and he
had all he could do to break away
in time to make room when Chairman
Laidlaw called "next" In Rev. Rich
mond's address it was clearly demonstra-
ted that the choice of the committee was
a happy one. It was interesting and
showed that the talker had given his
subject careful study. Archie Sillers,
without whom a Burns celebration in
this county would by no means be COM
plete, was down for only one number,
but it was just what they wanted and
naturally kicked for more.
Another round of applause greeted
the appearance Of j. D. Milne who gave
the audience from his selection tf songs
'The Bonnie Wee Window" which
made a hit and was followed by 'Cronies
of Mine" as an encore. j. d. Gordon
was from Walhalla to mingle with the
clans and when called on gave comic
Scotch song that by some might be
classed as parody on "The Irish
Washerwoman," it wasn't that but soms-
thing equally as good. Another visitor

THE POSTAL FRAUDS DISCUSSED.
The Cabinet Also Considers Reception to be
Given Boer Enjoys
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 1J.-The Cuban postal
frauds was practically the only subject or
discussion at today's cabinet meeting. The
President and the members OF the Cabi-
net do not believe that Postmaster
Thompson is guilty in the least of wrong
doing. Thompson, it is said, has been
prominently connected with the Indian
apolis postoffce for many years and was
selected as postmaster at Havana with
out his solicitation because of his special
knowledge of the business and his UNI
questioned integrity.
Members of the Cabinet are not in
widespread conspiracy to defraud but
nevertheless it is the purpose of the
Government to sift the matter to the bot
tom.
The Cabinet also discussed the recep-
tion to be accorded the Boer delegation.
The decision was to make no unnecessary
technical points against the delegates, but
to treat them with as much liberality as
possible without breach of the diplomatic
propreties. Thus, if they have any Gre
dentials, the delegates will be afforded an
opportunity to present them to the State
Department.
But as it is understood this particular
delegation does not come in diplomatic
capacity, the problem is considerably SIM
plified and officials will not be called upon
to extend any form of recognition of the
independence of the Boer Republic which
might be regarded as interference in the
dispute which led to the existing war.
