that his campaign speeches OF 1895

Imperialism were not canned and

Dubois has already announced his
determination not to support the
Democratic ticket. This was expect

MILLION FOR WINE.
Disaster in Sicily Will Have Little
Effect on New York

New York, Dec. S1.-With the usual
predictions as to a million dollar wine
bill incident to the gaiety in hotel and
cafe, New York awOke today prepared
for New Years eve and the riotous
celebration which always characterizes
the occasion in the city. Although the
disaster in Italy has had the effect of
saddening the Italian residents, indi-
cations are that despite the horrors
abroad, Broadway and the theater dis
trict will revel and celebrate as usual.
Various and many merrymaking de-
vices have been installed in the big
hotels of the city where for weeks in
advance prominent personages and
others less prominent engaged tables,
and the clink of glasses will sound as
1908 sinks away and the new year,
1909, bursts in, accompanied by the
sounds of steam whistles, bells and
mingled cries from human throats.
Early this morning vendors of noise
making machines and confetti made
their appearance on the streets, but
the "Ticklers' men were not much in
evidence Police Commissioner Bing-
ham having ruled that there shall be
no tickling along the Great White
Way. No rowdyism, just a good
wholesome time, is Mr.. Bingham's
plan for the night. Whether his def
milton of a New Years celebration will
be upheld by the great throng which
packs the streets remains to be seen.

continental freight bureau which is
composed of representatives of all
roads doing business to and from the
state and it is estimated by the ship
pers that the new figures will mean an
increase in railroad revenues of ten
million dollars annually.
The resolutions adopted at the
meetings yesterday assert that if the
railroads are operating at a loss the
shippers will take legal means to as
certain the exact amount of the
deficit. They further state that if the
high rates are not withdrawn steps
will be taken to enjoin the railroads
from collecting them. The resolutions

Shots-NObody Hurt.

Muskogee, Dec. 31.-F'ive robbers
dynamited the bank at Wel1ston, Okla.
east of here, and after exchanging
shots with the citizens escaped with
5000. No one was hurt. The robbers,
heavily armed, rode into Wellston after
midnight They erected a barb wire
barricade around the bank and while
work on the bank safe, others stood
guard. The citizens were soon up in
arms and a lively exchange of shots
with the robbers followed. The rob
bers, however, were we'll armed and
protected and for two hours they stood
off the citizens while their comrades
worked on the banks vault. When
they finally succeeded in securing the
money it contained the five men rode
off. 1t is believed two hundred shots
were exchanged, but no one is believed
to have been hurt.

SEES A BIG CRASH.
Street Railway OfficiaI Warns the
Public Against Batting.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-In the Electric

Chicago assisting the public to what
is termed a proper appreciation of
the transportation problem. Unless
there comes a better understanding 6

inevitably awaits a crash which will
send financial interests into chaos
from which no man will say when
they will emerge
Demagogues and self-exploiters are
blamed by Mr.. Weston for creating all
the popular clamOr against public
corporations.
The peril to corporations. says he,
"is not of sudden or recent origin.
1t began to take form many years ago.
What was then sort of vague, mist
like danger, seen only as some far-off
possibility today becomes a well-de-
veloped destroyer. laundering at the

Mr. Weston admits that the public
is not wholly bIameable, as the cor
porations have not taken the proper
steps to enlighten it on the subject
He intimates that some bad corpora
tions in the past have been at fault
but says times have changed and the
public utility corporations today have
no other motive than a desire to as
sist in the betterment of the world.

OCEAN RACERS
The MaureiaDia is Making a Record Run From the Other
 Side
27 MILES AN -FOUR

London, June 1.-Despite the fact that she is using but three pro- pellers the Cunard line steamer Mauretania, which left Liverpool May 27, is making a remarkable run to New York. She has already broken one ocean record, that for the best days run, according to a wireless telegraph dispatch received by the Cunard steamship. She cov- cred 635 knots from noon May 30 to noon May 31, averaging .25.5 knots an hour.
 In order to equal the best record of her sister ship, the Lusitania, over the long transatlantic course, the Mauretania will have to reach Sandy Hook lightship about 7:3O o'clock to- night. This Is based on an estimate that the Mauretania passed Daunts Rock off Queenstown at AHA a. m. May 2S.
 AS she did not call at Queenstown on this trip her time was taken at Fastnet, 54 miles west of Daunt's Rock. The Mauretania passed Fast net at 6:19 a. m. on May 2S.
 The latest report of her position placed the Mouretania 975 miles east of Sandy Hook lightship at a. m. yesterday morning. If she is averag- ing 625 miles day she should reach Sandy Hook lightship about 8 o'clock tonight.
 The Lusitania's best record for the long course of 2,8S9 miles from Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook made on her last west bound trip was f days 20 hours 22 minutes. Her av- craze was 24.93 miles per hour.
 The Mauretania's best record for that course was made on April IF when she covered the distance in 4 days 23 hours 59 minutes. Her av- craze was 240S knots per hour.
 The Mauretania was 270 miles east of Sandy Hook at a. m. This shows that since yesterday morning she has made twenty-seven miles an hour. If she keeps up this record she will reach Sandy Hook at s o'clock this evening and will break the long distance record of her sister ship, the Lusitania.

WILL HAVE JUBILEE
Father Karsm's is Preparing 10 Celebrate TWeniy.Fifih Anni-
 yersary of Ordination.

Preparations are now practically completed for the observance of the twenty-ffth anniversary of the ele- yation to the priesthood of the Rev M. A. Karam, pastor of the church of Our Lady of Lourdes, which will be held next Sunday. The exercises will include solemn high mass in the morning and reception in the up- per part of the church in the eyen- ing. An elaborate musical pro- gramme will be rendered under the direction of Prof Ortone and John Baptiste. The tokens of esteem al- ready received include very hand- some picture of the pope, the gift of his holiness himself, suitably in- scribed in Latin, the English of which reads substantially as follows:
 To Our Beloved Son, Michael A. Karam, Parish Priest in Waterbury, Conn, U. s. A., celebrating solemnlY the twenty-fifth anniversary of his priesthood, praying for him at the same time all prosperity from the Lord, We most lovingly impart both to him and to his parishioners the Apostolic Benediction.
 The 14th of March, 1908.
 POPE PLUS x.
 Father Karam was born in Maze areth on June 25, 1857, and studied for fifteen years at the seminary at. Jerusalem, where he was ordained to the priesthood by the eminent scholar and able thinker, Most Rev Archbishop Brocco. For some time after his ordination Father Karam performed missionary service in Pal- estine and other cities, and was final- ly sent to Italy, where he preached in Rome, Genoa, Venice, Cremona and other cities. His success in Italy prompted the bishop of the diocese where he last labored to sug- gest that he visit America in the in- terest of the Italian people. He did so and after a stay of three years at Elizabeth, N. J., where he found- ed a prosperous parish, he returned to Italy. In 1889 he returned to the United States, coming to Hartford on June 5, where he called upon the Right Rev Bishop Tierney, D. D., who commissioned him to come to Waterbury and found parish among the Italian people. Since that time he has worked faithfully early and late with the result that he is now completing one of ;he hand somest churches in the city and has one of the largest Italian congrega- tions in the diocese. Father Karam is tireless worker and without cre- ating the slightest friction in any quarter he has accomplished won- ders in Waterbury, and there is still work for him to do. Everybody likes him, Catholics and Protestants unit ing in the wish that he may observe the golden anniversary of his priest hood in the enjoyment of the pres- ent excellent health and spirits which are his to-day.
