The Remenyi Concert.

EdOuard Remenyi, the marvellous
violinist, and his talented company
received an enthusiastic welcome from
the musical portion of society at Con-
cordia Opera house last Saturday
night. 1t was very evident that Re-
menyl had lost none of his popularity
in Watertown since he was last here,
for upon his appearance he received
prolonged applause. And although
he was on the program for only three
numbers, not including the ensemble,
he was repeatedly recalled, the enthus-
1astlc audience eXacting from him at
least eight numbers. Nor has this
gifted man lost any of his skill since
We last heard him. His very salts
factory rendering Of Chopin's ssNoc-
turne" in f fiat, and ''Zapateado" by
Sarasate, brought a demand for an
encore, in response to which he PLAYED
the familiar Marseillaise Hymn with
so much volume and spirit that the
souls OF the audience were not content
until he reappeared. Remenyi's very
original treatment of s'Pizzicatti, " the
encore to the seventh number, aston
ished the audience, but this eccentric
artist seems to delight in making his
instrument do wonderful and unex-
pected things. A good share Of those
present had heard Remenyi before and
therefore looked forward to this rare
treat. But, although anticipation is
half the pleasure, " it is most certain
that those who heard him for the first
time last Saturday night could not
have enjoyed anything more
Miss Brehany was the recipient of
much applause and appreciation and
both of her numbers were encored
doubly. Her clear, sweet and sympa-
thetic voice, together with her most
charming and unassuming manner,
pleased every one and she created
quite sensation.
Mr.. Sauvlet proved to be a most
attractive player. He, too, received
rapturous applause and favored the
audience with many encores. Especi-
ally was the .'GavOtte," composed by
himself, appreciated. His accompani-
ments were rendered extremely well.
This event, enjoyed by so many peo-
pie, was a marked success, and as the
last strains of the Gave Maria died
away the sympathetic audience left
with great reluctance, for the music
heard that night was 10th to die; and
surely everyone felt that
Music in his heart he bore
Long after 1t was heard no more
The concert was given under the
auspices of st. Margaret's guild of the
Episcopal church, and to this body of
young ladies, who labored zealously
to create an interest and to call forth
good attendance, the musical dev-
otees of our city are indebted for a
most enjoyable entertainment. AL
though obtaining the attraction at
considerable expense, the guild real
lied very fair profit.
The Mehlin piano, kindly loaned
for the concert by w. +, Trachte,
proved to be fine instrument Both
Mr.. Sauvlet and Mr.. Remenyi were
highly pleased with it and favored
Mr.. Trachte with commendatory
note as to it's worth.

Athletic M eet.

The athletic meet at Oconomowoc
Saturday between the high schools OF
that place and Watertown was wit
messed by about 500 spectators,
including q delegation from this city
To judge from the results the Water
town boys were not in it very largely,
but they nevertheless had a good
time and took their defeat gracefully.
Lack of training and inexperience
handicapped them. The total scores
footed about 80 points for Oconomo-
VOC and 35 for Watertown. Follow

Baseball.

AS interesting a game of ball as
was ever witnessed here was played at
Washington park Sunday afternoon by
the Crescents and the Waterloos. The
pitchers were in fine fettle, and hits
an6 runs were few and far between.
The home team succeeded in scoring
five times during the game, while the
best the Waterloos could do was three
runs, two of which were secured in
the ninth inning. Credit or the
Crescents' victory lies largely with
Berndt, the pitcher, who struck out
fifteen men and pulled his team out of
tight places in several instances.
Jumbo Keel, of Waterloo, umpired.
The score by innings follows:
Waterloo. ;. 0 0 0 0 0 O 2-3
Crescents -. 3 / 0 0 0 l 0 0-5
Batteries:- Waterloo, Bateman and
Tester; Crescents, Berndt and Schulz.
The Johnson Creek team defeated
the Klub nine Sunday afternoon on the
formers grounds. Score, 29 to 9.

The Dead at Winchester.

a Daughter of the Coufederacy wrote
as follows to the Charleston News and
Courier Il have noticed in your paper
an editorial on the coming dedication of
the monument at Winchester, Va, to the
North Carolina dead of the Confederate
army and the generosity of Mr.. Charles
Broadway Rouss. You state that Mr..
Rouss had made like offer to South
Carolina, but the funds necessary to car
~ out his generous intention have not
been raised 1 suggest (and 1 do not
think am taking liberty in 50 doing,
as my family in all its branches fought,
worked, suffered and sacrificed with the
rest of our section) that we, the women
of South Carolina, beg that the sums
raised by the Confederate camps for a
women's monument be appropriated to
the erection of monument to our dead
at Winchester, for we will still have the
monument dearer to us all, viz. the re-
spect and regard of our dear and de-
voted countrymen.'

The Norforlk aud Western Railway
has equipped some of its baggage cars to
carry bicycles. An arrangement of safe
ty bars aud hooks for supporting the BIZ
cycles at the top of the car out OF the way
of other baggage.
In loading bicycles they are inverted
and the holders in the center of the car
roof are hooked into the rims of the two
wheels. The frame of the bicycle is then
tilted up toward the side decks, the strap
being wrapped few times around the
frame, after which its end is slipped over
the hook, thus holding the wheel in
place.-St. Louis Globe Democrat, July 6,
1897.
Without waiting for the entire equip
ment of its cars The Norfolk and Western
Railway will. commencing September
18th, 1897, check bicycles, when accom-
panied by owner holding proper trans
portation, as baggage, making charge for
same only in case the passenger has more
than one hundred and fifty pounds of
baggage, including the bicycle, whether
Grated or not.
This is practically free transportation,
as but few wheelmen going on their usual
trips take with them any extra weight
This arrangement applies over all lines
of this railway in Virginia, Maryland,
West Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio.

The Powhatan Brass and Iron Works
of this city have recently designed and
are about to place upon the market very
practical and ingenious device in the
shape of an automatic hose valve for fire
protection in large buildings. In most
instances where fire occurs in building
prompt action upon the part of those
upon the scene may result in great saw
ling of property and even life, but it not
infrequently happens that they have not
at hand Il means of rendering their efforts,
however earnest, of any avail. The OBJ.
ject of the device mentioned is to provide
a quick and effective means of extinquish-
ing fire, and one that can be used with
equal advantage by beth the uninitiated
and those more familiar with the ms and
outs of mechanics and this last is most
important feature as it occurs more often
than otherwise that those who are in II
position to render service at the outbreak
of II fire are those entirely ignorant of the
mode of operating the more or less COM
Pile tied contrivances now employed -
This contrivance is n most simple looking
affair, showing only round hrass ball
screwed upon the end OF II pipe to which
is attached abou. three feet nf hose with
nozzle The mere act, however, of
Selling the hose aud pointing it in the
direction in which you wish to play is
sufficient to turn on IL powerful stream of
water from n two inch pipe. We are in
formed that it is as simple in construction
as in appearauce-the parts consisting
merely of au arm or lever having II cam
end pivoted in the top OF the valve. This
lever extends upward into the hose and
by moving it by means of the hose the
cam acts upon the valve allowing the
water TO pass out, and on bending back
the lever the pressure of the water closes
the valve and SO keeps it until the lever
ia again moved. We believe there is a
good field for this device a,,l Tint the
Powhatan Brass aud Iron Works will
greatly enlarge their trade through it.

sary to offer my resignation to your hon

of all present. Clerk Phillips read the
resignation. Acting Mayor Hough

ignation was only received with silent as
sent. Mr.. Green spoke feeIingly of the
resignation of Mayor Brown, and ex-
pressed deep regret that circumstances
had made it necessary for him to resign
