They relax their minds for one night at least from their daily routine of hard and arduous labor and refresh them with
 mirth and good cheer. They gather
 about the banquet tables where wit,
 wisdom and goodfellowship meet on 8 gcommon ground. These banQuets are always elaborate affairs. Each year the committee strive to have the ban quet excel all of it's predecessors and their efforts culminate with success.
 This was especially true about the seventh annual banquet of the asso- ciation, which was held in the Odd Fellows banquet hall last night. About
 two hundred of Waterbury's leading
 business men were present. The guests of the evening were Mayor

Lamps are one of our great specialties, and we have reason to believe that we carry the largest stock, the best assort- ment and the most attractive styles in the city, and on them we make the lowest posstDle prices, all of which enables us to do the lamp business of Wa terbury.

Russians Run BlOeksds at Port
Arthur.

CHEFoo, CHINA-The Russian
torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny.
Captain Pelem. ran the blockade at
Port Arthur Tuesday night and
reached Chefoo At G.5O o'clock We'd
nosday morning. The RAstoropny was
the fastest OF the Russian fleet. The
Rastoropny entered Chefoo with a
music box playing a sprightly air and
the savory odor OF a breakfast steak
apparently testifying to the fact that
Port Arthur sim enjoys fresh meat.
The destroyer sped In and anchored
a few hundred yards abaft the United
States cruiser New Orleans. flagship
OF Rear Admiral Folger. commander
Of the Asiatie fleet. The Chinese
cruiser Hal Yung raised steam within
twenty minutes and went close to the
Rastoropny. Captain Ching Of the Hal
Young boarded her and held a brief
conference with Commander Pelem.
Ensign Wainwright, Rear Admiral
Folger's aide. boarded the Rastoropny
immediately, but he and Captain
Cheng were not invited to enter the
Ra%storopny's cabin. although a biz
zard was cutting their faces.
Captain Ching notified Commander
Pelem that twenty-four hours was the
limit OF the time he could remain
armed at Chefoo. after which the Ras-
toropny would be compelled TO dis
arm. While delivering this ~ultlmatum.
a Russian sailor. who seemed to be
healthy and care free. continued greas-
ing the torpedo tubes. which were
loaded. Following the conference with
Captain Ching. the RAstoropny was
moved further in 20 the old anchor
age OF the torpedo boat destroyer Rye
sitelni. There the Russian consul
boarded the Ra%stOropny and brought
her dispatches ashore.
Shortly after this the captain Of tho
Russian torpedo boat destroyer noti-
fled the Chinese authorities that he
would dlsarm. Il was then believed
that this decision was reached after
communicating with St Petersburg.
There is reason TO believe that Jap
anese cruisers have been watching the
port. although e steamer which has
just arrived saw no Japanese wal yes

opny in an Interview on his adventur-
Gus voyage from Port Arthur. said:
Il left Port Arthur at midnight In a
