Thackeray Always Late.

An external stimulus sometimes is
focus. 1t was the custom with Thack-
cray never to do today what could be
put off until tomorrow. He was, there
fore, frequently behind with his copy
and it was no uncommon thing for him
to keep the messenger from his pub
Usher waiting at the door while he
wrote the last pages of the book.

Local BARRIERS are contemplating
a raise in the price of haircuts on
Saturday They will get the concen-
sus of opinion among themselves and
will probably boost the price on Sat-
urday to SO cents. They believe that
by so doing hair cutting on Saturday
viii be lessened and more done during
the other days of the week, so that
Saturday waiting will be lessened
considerably. They are also planning
to charge 5 cents for a neck shave

Days of Long Ago
Brought to Mind

One of forty years ago, more or less,
musical organizations in Watertown
was the old Philharmonic band in
which two Of the Heyman boys were
noted musicians. This band was prob
ably one of the best the city ever pro-
duced and the Heymann's later were
among the biggest band at the Worlds
fair in Chicago John Heymann at
that time conducted a saloon and
bowling alleys and park at the corner
of West Main and North Monroe
streets, afterward conducted by Bob
WOelffer. Frank ]. TOussaint, TheO-
dore Kusel, Frank Lothamer and a
few others organized an orchestra for
their own amusement and on many a
summer evening their excellent music
enlivened the homes of their friends.
Serenades were the order of the day,
or rather evening, and their best girl
was always favored with the old
time melodies of the darkey, accom-
panied by the tones of we'll developed
voices.
Speaking about brass bands, Willie
Jones, who is still in the harness, was
one of the first drummers of that per-
iod and he has consistently followed
the music to this day The late
Charles j. Wenck was one of the piO-
neers, and up to the day of his death
kept in close touch with the musical
organizations of the city. The Blaes-
JUS boys took an active part, but the
Oldest band which we remember was
the one in which the late William
Quentmeyer was a member. Many a
time we have listened to practice on
his lawn in Church street near West
Madison street. He was a good music
ian. The leader of this band was a
man named Miller whom we remember
wore gold earrings. He has passed to
his reward these many years. The
father of Max H. Gaebler was an organ
builder of note in Wisconsin at that
time and constructed many church
organs. The late James B. Murphy was
the leader of st. Bernard's band In
those days. John Bushel played the
tuba, Edward Mulick was member
and we believe Nicholas Murphy was
also included. They furnished the mu.
sic for st. Patrick day festivities wheI
picnic in Richards grove or a big
dance in Turner Opera house was the
rule each year.

Hill, an old Third warder, a first class

First African Explorer.

The first organized attempt to ex-
plore the interior Of Africa was made
by Mungo Park, who set sail on his
initial voyage to the Dark Continent
123 years ago. He returned two years
and seven months later after having
explored considerable section Of
Africa never before visited by white
man, although he failed in his main
purpose, which was to trace the source
Of the River Niger.

AS previously announced in the
News, Senator Mulberger will have no
opposition for reelection, except the
candidate on the socialist ticket How
ever, he will make a tour of his dis
trict and keep in touch with the wants
of his constituents just the same as
though he had opposition. The fact
that there is no opposition to his can
didacy is conclusive evidence that he
filed the bill during the four years of
his incumbency of the office.
