A Fine Concert.

We are to have fine musical treat
during the holiday season. Edward
Schempf, who SO ably conducted the
orchestra concert of the Amateur Mus
ical club last spring, has engaged
twenty-five players from Bach's Sym
phony orchestra, of Milwaukee, for a
concert at Turner Opera house on Fri
day evening, December %, under mis-
direction. This concert promises to
be one of particular excellence, as the
orchestra will be composed of Milwau-
KEGS very best players.
AS soloist, our popular young singer,
Miss Lucille Bertram, has been en-
gagged. Miss Bertram is the possessor
of d beautiful contralto voice. which
will be heard in public here for the
first time on this occasion. The de-
but of this promising singer will be an
event of unusual interest to Watertown
people, as Miss Bertram has hosts Of
friends here who will be delighted to
hear her. She will contribute two
numbers to the program, with full Or
chestra accompaniment. Miss Ber-
tram has studied for some time at the
Wisconsin Conservatory Of Music, in
Milwaukee, under Miss Jennie Owen,
aid has made marked progress.
1t is long time since any of our
Watertown young ladies have ap-
peared, vocally, in concert work, and
the first engagement of Miss Bertram
should be an event of exceptional local
interest. The full program of the
concert will be announced later.
Many will be pleased to know that
there is to be dance Immediately after
the concert, music for which will be

American Writers and American
Culture

The tickets and inclOsed circulars
of instruction for the lecture course at
the high school this winter have now
been mailed to the public OF Water
town and we hope that each recipient
will read the instructions carefully.
Prof. Pyre is great favorite where
ever he has lectured. He has pleas
ing manner and knows how to make
his lectures very entertaining. The
course promises to be one of the finest
and most interesting ever given
in this city. Prof. Prye, being a
finished elocutionist, recites poetry
beautifully and will enliven his lsct-
ures by copious recitations from fan-
Gus American authors. The price of
admission for the entire course of six
lectures will be only Is cents. Parents
should give their children this rare
opportunity Of becoming acquainted
with the literature of our own country.
1t is to be hoped that this educa-
tional movement will be highly sue
cessful. A ticket for the course
would make a fine Christmas present
and surely be appreciated by old and
young. Recipients of circulars and
tickets are respectfully requested to
make returns on same as early az
possible at Eberle's drug store.

A FLAT ARGUMENT.
The GaZette's Opinion on the Mill Race
Settlement-Hapha Statements.

In commenting upon the city s
settlement of the mill race matter.
The Gazette says 1.-the settlement was
not made until the city officials we're
fully convinced by court decisions that
it was the wisest policy to pursue. :"
Indeed! The Gazette man had better
look into the history of this case a
little before writing anything further
on it. The city fathers professed to
be greatly scared simply because the
supreme court refused to sustain the
demurrer to the complaint entered by
the city's attorney, and ordered the
case tried on it's merits The de-
murrer had previously been sustained
by Judge Siebecker, of the Dane
county circuit court Without even
consulting the city attorney as to the
status of the case the common council
took the matter in its own hands and
effected a settlement for the paltry (?)
sum OF 1000. The settlement
was cooked and-dried affair, all pre-
arranged by three certain members of
the council, who were subsequently,, at
a meeting of the council constituted
a committee to report on the matter
1t will be remembered that after re-
cess Of ten minutes this committee
submitted most remarkable report
one which would have taken most
anybody two hours to formulate and
put in writing. But we suppose three
persons working simultaneously on it
is what brought about its completion
with so much ''neatness and dispatch. y
Well, this is an old affair and there is
not much need of discussing it further.
Perhaps the settlement was wise
move, but we are inclined to think it
was done little zoo hastily. It may
be that it has saved the city thousands
OF dollars above the cost price, but
no man can hardly venture such an
assertion, no more.than Bro. Moore can
verify such haphazard statement a.
respectfully was it the settlement
satisfactory to the majority of the tax
payers of the city of Watertown. -
Anybody is free to say such things
but the proof of the matter is an en-
tirely different proposition. But per-
haps our brother editor has taken a
private poll of our citizens on this
question and knows whereof he
speaks. If he has we should like to
see the exact figures.

FOR A SPUR TRACK.
William Hartig Petitions the CITY for
privilege of Building Ono on tho
West Side

AL the last meeting the following
petition was presented to the common
council and referred to the committee
on streets and bridges the board of
public works and the aldermen of the
Fifth ward:
The undersigned freeholder and
taxpayer respectfully petitions your
honorable body to grant the privilege,
consent and permission to build and
construct a spur railroad track, lead
ing from tie main track of the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railway com
pany, from point north of the North
Church street crossing to Rock street
in the Fifth ward of said city. and in
this building, further asks the privi-
lege, consent and permission of your
honorable body, to cross the follow
ing named streets in said ward in the
manner as the plan herewith submit
ted will more fully show, viz: La
Belle street, between blocks and g;
Warren street, between blocks 2 and
8, and Berlin street, between blocks
3 and 4, south Of Silver Creek bridge.

wise to cross North Water street on
the north end of the same between
out lots and 2 in said ward, and Elm
street and West Green street in Den

OF said streets near the bank of Rock

width for said spur track along and

will, or can be acquired by me- The
ownership of the land owned by pri-
vate parties. which said spur track is
to cross. has already been acquired
by your petitioner at his own ex-
pense. WILLIAM HARTIG.
This is in lire with an item printed
in our columns few weeks ago.
Mr.. Hartig desires the accommodat alton
to facilitate his shipping require
ments. We understand there is some
opposition TO the building of the track
among Fifth warders, but SO far as
we are posted, we can see no particu-
lar reason why the prayer of the
petitioner should not be granted. We
have spur tracks in other portions of
the city to accommodate shippers and
no harm or damage has thus far re-
sulte5 Mr.. Hartig's business is
among the best of the city's enter
prises and he should receive every
encouragement possible to remain an
important factor in Watertowns in
dustrial life. Besides benefiting the
petitioner. the track would also &C
commodate other large shippers,
among whom could be mentioned S.
M. Eaton & Son. the Watertown Cold
Storage company. the Woodland Stone
factory. etc. Therefore, let it be
built.

VERY SAD COINCIDENCE
BAD NEWS REACHES STEWARD
GRIFFIN.
After Leading Volunteers to Save
Seaman He Hears of Failure to Res
cue His Son in the Same Way

While steward William Griffin of the
ship Glenesslin was one of party Of
brave volunteers to save the life of a
Fellow seaman near Hawaii news was
on the way here of an unsuccessful
effort to save his own son from drown
ing under very similar circumstances
and from a vessel commanded by a
brother of the master of the Glenesslin
Inc young man was drowned off the
Columbia river bar in a storm that
nearly wrecked the ship Hallon Hall,
about a month ago.
Young Griffin was knocked overheard
while hiking sails alOft, when the yes
sci was in immediate danger from the
rocks. A very heavy sea was on, but
several life buoys and ropes were
thrown out close to the man who was
in danger. AS he did not grasp any
OF them 1t is thought that the fall must
have stunned him. A boat was lowered
and spent nearly an hour searching for
the lost man, the volunteers in the boat
at last coming back to the ship with
their boat full of water and all in her
thoroughly exhausted. Soon after the
ship got away from shore into a place
OF safety. 1t is regarded as a strange
coincidence that the father of the
young man so drowned should have
taken such a prominent part in saving
another seamen in just about the same
way, few hours before he heard the
news of the loss of his son.
Griffin has risked his life for com
panions before. During a storm at Liv-
erpool he led a party of volunteers in
an effort to save a man who had been
dropped overheard after being severely
injured. Returning after the ATTEMPT,
all hands exhausted, the boat was
against the side of the vessel
and only Griffin was saved. THE at
