Mrs, SCOtt.Siddons

1t never fell to the lot Of the citizens or
Watertown to receive as fine an intellect
ual treat as was rendered to them by
Mrs. Scott Siddons' appearance at Turner
Hall Wednesday evening of last week.
The gifted lady presented a brilliant
programme and in her several recitations
and readings was indeed faultlesS, both in
delivery and action. Her Sleeping Walk
ing scene in Macbeth is a grand concep-
ton and in this role she has no superior
on the stage, if indeed she has any equal.
All her efforts were clothed with pathos,
feeling and expression winning the plau.
dts and admiration of her audience for
the splendid versatility of talent she dis
played. At the close of the entertain
ment Mrs. Siddons paid graceful COM
pliment to WATERFOWL in saying that in
all her travels she had never appeared
before more appreciative audience, or
one that was apparently more conversant
with the authors she recited from. The
hope is expressed that Mrs. ScottSiddons
will ere long visit our city again when it
is quite certain she would receive a
hearty welcome and be greeted with a
crowded house.

To the Editor of the Republican:
Chairman Gas Committee

0 me EQttOT OF tHe HepuOLiCGH.
In your issue of the 18th: inst, appears
a n article signed Taxpayer" in which
am accused, of "Egotsm'', in announcing
myself as candidate in the Democrat fov
reelection as Assessor and in saying that
promise to give satisfaction thereafter as
heretofore" Now Mr. Editor the fact of the
case is, that virtually never made use of
any such phrase, it was inserted in the
Democrat through a mistake, or rather mis-
understanding, as Mr.. Jones, the Editor of
that paper Gao testify to. ANNOUNCED my
self as candidate for Assessor in the We T.
burger and went to ihe Office OF the Demo-
crat and desired him to give literal trans
lation thereof in his paper which through
some misunderstanding was not done as
will prove hereafter. cannot therefore just
ly be accused of egotsm, according to the
version of Taxpayer"
The following is literal translation of
my card in the Weitburger, which can be
seen by referring to last issues of that paper:
II hereby take the liberty of announcing
myself to the voters of Watertown as Candi
date for the Office of Assessor. If elected !,
it will be my aia to earn the full satisfac-
ton of all Tax payers and pledge myself
to give my undivided attention to al! erro-
neous, descriptions of property and correct all
existing errors
AS to "Tax payers accusation of jug han
die work and favoritism, l will simply say
that accusations without corresponding
proof, amount simply TO nothing at all;
there are always grumblers to be found
anywhere; and ''Tax- payer" is evidently
one of the m. 1t is hard to please every body,
in fact, it is impossible great many feel
sore-headed, perhaps because, they have
been favored on previous occas ions i n the
assessment Of their property and did not
perhaps last year have the same privilege
accorded to them by me. Whoever the
cap fits, let them wear it. Yours truly,

To the Wdtertown Republican:

| observe in your last issue a commu-
nication without any signature in which
it is stated that the Gas Company
has been allowed to violate it's contract
with the city at an extra expense to the
city treasury of from 5000 to $500 per year.
The statement is wholly unfounded and
without any truth whatever The exist
