BANDS DENIED
APPROPRIATION
City Council DeferS Matters Own
ing to Lack of Funds
For The Purpose

The matters of giving the local bands
money was again brought before the
council at the last meeting and after
Mayor Kadlngs communication was read
the council laid the matter on the table
where it will no doubt stay. 1t seems a
shame that OLE council finds Itself un-
able to help the bands. The sum OF $685.
for an evening is not too large as each
player would only receive about so cents
for his efforts. The salary of the direct
ors and the cost of music are large items
with the bands and even if the council
could have cut appropriation in two or
quartered it, the bands would no doubt
appreciate the sum given them. The
mayors communication follows:
To the Common Council of the City
of Watertown
Gentlemen: | desire to inform you
that | have decided to, and do here
by, disapprove the resolution passed
by your honorable body at it's regu-
lar meeting held on the 10th day of
June, 1914, providing for an appro-
priation out of the general fund to
the extent of $400 to defray the ex-
pense of having free public concerts
by our local bands for the balance OF
the outdoor season of this year, for
the reason:
First That by the terms of said
resolution one concert is to be had
each week during the balance of the
outdoor season, and when it is taken
into consideration that about IL
weeks will constitute the balance of
the outdoor season, it would mean an
expense to the city of about $33
for each of said concerts, together
with the further expense of providing
chairs and lights for the bands. This
would mean a rather expensive lux
ury, in view of the fact that our taxes
in the past have been, and in the fu-
ture are apt to be sufficiently high.
Second: That no provision was
made for this expense in the tax levy
of last year. and should said amount
be taken out of the general fund, it
would hamper the city officials In
conducting the affairs of the city
along necessary lines.
1t is tobe regretted that no provls-
ion was made in the last tax levy, to
cover this expense and if it is the de-
sire of the citizens of the city of Wat
ertown to have free co~certs at the
expense of the tax payers, such mat
ter should be taken in consideration
in making up the tax levy.
Date this 23d day of June, A. ID.
1914
Respectfully submitted,
Charles A. Kading, Mayor.

GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES


| Poor Lady Byron she never was able
to do just the right thing in Lord Byron's
estimation. and at the very start of their
matrimonial venture they had most Sc
rious alteration because she insisted that
her ladys maid should accompany her
| and her husband on their honeymoon trip.
"I was surprised Byron is reported to
have said, "at the arrangements for the
journey, and somewhat out of humor to
find a lady's maid stuck between me and
my bride. 1t was really too early to as
sumo the husband, and so | was forced
| to submit but it was not with a very
good grace"
Byron married Annabelle Milbanke on
January 2, 1916. On the way to the
wedding the poet confided in his best
man, Mr.. Hobhouse, that he was not in
love with Hiss Hilbanke. but at the same
time he confessed that he felt for her
that same regard which was the surest
] guarantee of continued affection and
matrimonial felicity.
Byron thus POLITICALLY describes his feel
ings and behavior at his wedding:
Even at the altar, DER his brow there
| came
The seIf-same aspect, and the quivering
! shock
That in the antique oratory shook
| His bosom in its solitude; and then
| AS in that hour-a moment Ger his face
A tablet of unutterable thoughts
Was traced-and then it faded as it came.
| And he stood calm and quiet, and he
spoke
The fitting vows, but heard not his own
words
And all things reeled around him."
| Byron, In his Memories says that
he woke on his wedding morn with the
most melancholy wedding suit spread out
before him." and, still melancholy, wan
dered about the grounds alone till sum-
moned for the ceremony Byron reduced
the melancholy to the santioned low-spir-
itedness of all bridegrooms; and he re-
marked to Hobhouse: MY surprise at
finding myself married may be said of SO
out of every 100 of them.'
When it was told to Byron that he
had been accused of saying, on getting
into the carriage after the ceremony, that
he had married Lady Byron out of spite.
and because she had refused him twice,
his reply was Though l was for mo-
ment veXed at her prudery, or whatever
YOU may choose to call 1t. if had made
so uncavalier, not to say brutal a speech.
am convinced Lady Byron would in
stantly have left the carriage"
But that he was brutal in the carriage
Is true, if Lady Byron is to be believed.
She says that they had not been two
hours in the conveyance which carried
them from the church, when breaking
into a malignant sneer, Byron said:
"Oh, what dupe you have been to
your Imagination. Is it possible woma n
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-05

of your sense could form the wild hope
of reforming me? 1t is enough for me
that you are my wife for me to hate you.
If you were the wife of any other man
owe you might have charms"
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the Amer
lean writer, who had an interview with
Lady Byron, tells the same story but in
a little different way. She quotes Lady
Byron Is saying that Lord Byron said
You might have saved me once, madam!
You had all in your own power when |
