Show ANDREW CARNEGIE'S TRIBUTE TO BURNS New York, Jan. 26. Andrew Carnegie, Car-negie, who was the guest of honor and principal speaker at the annual dinner of tho Robevt Burns society, which waa held at Delmonico's last night, paid the following tribute to the Scotch poet: " 'They will think more of me In a hundred years than they do now,', was the prophecy of one of the most extraordinary extra-ordinary beings that was ever born upon up-on this earth. But little even did he dream that upon his one hundred and fiftieth birthday, assemblages like this would gather all over the world to thank the kind fates that gave us such a blessing. The best tribute was given by Horace Greely, who truly tru-ly said: 'Of all men that ever lived, Burns nestles closest to the bosom of humanity.' |
