The Tahlsquhh Telephone Of last week con-
tains the following very nattering mention Of
the work being done at vinitas popular
academy; While at vinita we visited wor-
cester academy and were especially interested
In the Industrial departments Of sewIng and
cabinet making, introduced by Prof. McCar-
thy, who at his own expense lifted up O work
shop for the boys. None are compelled to
work. but we notice that most OF the boys
chose TO learn cabinent making. and they do
exceedingly we'll too; and the girls take great
pride In their needls-work. Now this is Just
as it should be, and we hope to see similar
work done In the semlnaries. Too much at
tention Is given 10 "book learning" and too
little to training them for real life. AZ o re-
suit. our boys come home from school able to

THREE LITTLE FIRES
All Burning at Once in Building on
Commercial Street.

When the fremen last night broke into the
small wooden building No. 281 Commercial street
to which they had been called by the alarm from
box Ala, a shortly after IL O'clock they thought
that somebody had intended to give them some
work. The greater part of the blaze was under
a staircase in the east end of the structure, but
up at the other end were two independent fires,
one In the lathing of the ceiling and the other on
the floor in a corner. j. f. DeCosta, who works
on the English steamers, said that he discovered
the fire as he was passing the building, and that
then the outer door was open and the blaze max
ing rapid progress. 1.-THE building is two stories
high, aud contained a shop on the ground floor
and tenement in the second story. 1t was unoc-
cupied. Nathan Druker, who keeps clothing
store on Fore street, is the owner of the building
which he bought short time ago. He was found
at his store, where he lives, and said that he had
$500 insurance. The: building was not much
damaged.

A Pneumatic Symphony Organ.

In G. r. Cressey's piano rooms on Congress
street there is curiosity of the organ kind. 1t is
called the pneumatic symphony organ, was made
by the Wilcox & White Organ Company. and is to
be placed in Odd Fellows Hall in a few DAYS
The pneumatic symphony instrument is self
playing organ, it is the application OF the princi-
pie of the organette and other similar machines
to aremarka bly, handsome and sweet toned cabi-
net organ. The music is arranged ON a roll of pa
per which Is perforated in the of music for
the organette. and by the turn of stop it is set
in motion. All that the organist has to do is to
supply the wind and to regulate the swell. This,
the swell, is operated by a knee pedal as is Gus
tomary, but instead OF the inside working there is
shutter movement as there is in large church
organs. Beside the automatic part which has
practically endless repertoire, as strip can be
made for any piece of music that has ever been
composed, the instrument is fitted with an or
binary key board and manual, and can thus be
used as an ordinary cabinet organ. There are %
stops to the organ that is to 60 to the Odd Eel
lows Hall and the tone and quality are exquisite
The instrument has handsome case of quartered
oak. 1t will remain at Cressey's for few days
