calls for these ingredients since the first an
nouncement in the newspapers last October

CARLOS c. ALDEN.
by Gov. Hughes as Counsel.

Appointed by Gov. Hughes as Counsel.
The recent appointment by Governor
Hughes of New York by which Carlos
C. Alden becomes counsel to the COVER
nor with salary of $1,000 year is of
interest to Bangor people. Mr.. Alden
spent several years of his early life in
this city, has made frequent visits to
Bangor since removing to New Y DIRK, and
has many friends here.
Carlos C. Alden is the son of Edward
Alden, now of Brooklyn, N. Y, formerly
of Belfast, Me. From Belfast the son
came to Bangor at the age OF II years
to attend the school here, making his
home with his aunt, Mrs. Alonzo Leslie.
After a year or two In the grammar
school he entered the Bangor High
school, and after his graduation from
this institution went to New York to
study law at the University of the City
of New York For ten years after leav-
ing that school he enjoyed good prac..
tice in New Y ork city and at the end OF
that time was appoined dean OF the
Buffalo Law school, which position he
holds to-day, and with which the recent
appointment will not interfere. The
Buffalo Law SCIlOOl lids SCSdully Sio"ii
in numbers and efficiency since he be-
came its dean. Mr. Alden is also the
author of recent works on practice and
procedure in New York State courts:
He is actively interested in municipal
movements and organizations and is well
and favorably known throughout the
State.
Since his recent appointment as coun-
sci to the governor MIR. Alden has
written his sister, Mrs. James Crosby,
of this city, that his acquaintance with
Governor Hughes dates back to the
early days of his New York city prac-
tice, when he was the opposing attorney
to Mr.. Hughes in difficult case. Since
that time the two have not had any
close connection at all, and the appoint
ment is very complimentary and pleases
Mr. Alden beyond expression. His Ban
gor friends are congratulating him on
this latest mark of success.-Bangor

less high soprano of the world, will posi-
lively appear in Rockland at Farwell
Opera House, Thursday evening, Janu-
ary 18th. This will be one of the greatest
musical events of the season. The thou
sands that heard Madame Yaw at our re-
cent Festivals have not forgotten the en-
thusiasm she created. The press in both
Bangor and Portland were loud in her
praises, and voiced the sentiment of an
enthusiastic audience in their notices of
this great artist. Nearly all the great
prima donnas of the world have appear
ed at these Festivals during the twelve
wears, and no one has received such gen
erous applause and so many recalls.
Madame Yaw is now on concert tour in
the south and west: In February she
will take Nine. Sembrich's place at the
Metropolitan Opera House, and at the
close Of the season, she returns to Eu-
rope for protracted stay.
This will, therefore, be the last oppor-
tunity for the public to hear her in con-
cert, and she will sing most brilliant
and varied programme. Tickets, with
reserved seats, $1.00 and $3.50. Commu-
nicate with John w. Thomas, Rockland;

Prohibition in Massachusetts,.

BosToN, December I6. That the prohi-
bition wave in Massachusetts reached q
record height in 1908 is shown by the re-
suits of Yesterdays elections, which com.
pleted the vote of the State, with the
exception of one city, on the question
of licensing the sale of Intoxicating
liquors. Cambridge will not vote or
license in 1908, owing to a change in the
city charter.
Eliminating the vote of that city in the
the comparisons the total vote in 1908 in
these 1928 cities and towns was:
Yes, 1856, 446; no, 206, 666. Majority fol
no license, 20, 220.
The total vote in 1907 for the same
cities and towns was:
Yes, 1877, O99; no, 2O3, 3O7; majority for
no license, 16,208.
The vote in 1908 was:
Yes, 183, 891; no 1914, 148. Majority for
no license, 1O,257.
The total vote in the 80 cities in 1908
was:
Yes, 131, 842; no, 1923, 9O8. Majority for
license, 1884. If Cambridge had voted
this year, and had cast it's usual no license
majority of a trife over 5000, it will
be seen that majority of voters in
Massachusetts cities in 1908 are opposed
to liquor selling for the first time since
1892, when the vote was:
Yes, SO, 558; no, LOG, $50; majority for no
license, 1922.
Last year the vote in the 30 cities was:
Yes, 132,515; no, 1874, $40. Majority in
favor license; 1886.
In 1906 the vote in the 80 cities was:
Yes, 3,084; no, 105, 583. Majority
for license, 9,501.
The highest majority ever given for
license in the cities of Massachusetts,
was in 1905, when it reached nearly
"a, 0O0
The voters in the cities of the State
also favored prohibition in 1891, 1887 and
in 1886 by narrow majorities.
