Thc' strains of one of Sousas marches
loatetl out of the window and suddenly
STOPPED. The tuner turned a crank at the
end Of the machine and reversed the large
cylinder that. covered with multitude of
steel points, serves to trip the hammers
that then strike the strings and SO form
the tune. His quick ear had discovered a
peg loose somewhere and his equally quick
eye had located II he peered down into
the mysterious depths of the organ. Quick
ly putting his finger on the offending peg
hc got with the other hand, a pair Of
tWeezers from the top of the machine. and
WITH qu-ck and deXtroUs wrench he had
pGl!oi cur the little point, much as den-
tist would pull an aca.nE tooth.
These steel points are about three-quar-
ter5 of an inch long, and are driven into the
wood Of the cylinder at slight angle, so
as 10 STRIKE the tripping triggers of the
hammers at the best poSs BILE position. They
are arranged around the cylinder with the
incest accuracy, for the margin between
hitting the hammer and missing it is the
slightest. AS there are ten tunes each
cylinder the pegs must be arranged in ten
groups. one FOB each tune, and the incest
care is necessary to prevent even worse
tone mixtures than some of the old organs
can produce.
Such was the organ on which the artist
for such, indeed, he was-was working the
day that the reporter leaned his elbows on
the sill Of the window and inhaled garlic
and other scents for an hour or so. The
tuner acknowledged in his scanty English
that he was having "troub " with this par
ticular piece of mechanism. A march would
go wrong in spite of him, and THE Side
walks of New York. were full of horrible
holes in some places, and piled high with
extra notes in others. But he kept pegging
away, now hammering new notes into
voids. and now pulling superfluous points
out Of the way, until airs began to assume
q natural finish.

An Unsavory Resort.

While the tuner and tune maker was
working hard at his task the proprietors
or lessees of the machine that was then
under treatment lounged around, eager for
him to get through his job, so that they
could go out on the streets and pick up a
few cents with which to buy the beer and
onions that seem to be their staples of
life. This house, which is located on ID

Hence this tuner has to have still another
faculty, for he must select the most DOp-
ular and catchy parts of each melody.
But the tuning process is no joke of
Itself, for these street pianos are not like
ordinary Instruments. which have three
string unisons, except in bass where each
note is produced by a single string, and
sometimes two. In the mechanical piano
the bass and middle registers have three
strings to the note, the upper register has
four and the last ten notes or of the
treble scale have five each, and all of
these have to be tuned in exact unison, to
make a perfect note. 1t is good deal like

ELABORATE CEREMONY.
Description Of the Baptism of the
Son Of a Gear.
Amounted with OIL Brought from Con.
neutrality-suspicious. of the Godparents
When the Child Dons Its
First Shoes.

The young czarina of Russia is super
intending just now the preparation Of
a ldyette, and all the world is interested
in the expected advent of an heir TO
the Russian throne.
Elaborate ceremonies always sur
round the birth of royal child in Rus
STA, perhaps more conspicuously than
elsewhere. The christening, according
to the ritual in the Greek church, must
take place as soon as possible after the
birth. The baby's christening robes,
says the New York Sun, are marvelS Of
the needleworker's art. The first god
father, who is always a high and
mighty person, gives the child gold
cross inlaid with jewels, and the god
mother provides the little white shirt
which is used before the ceremony is
completed. The occasion requires gifts
from all persons connected with the
court. These gifts are often the toys
most likely to amuse tiny infant, al
though many are suitable for grown
child. Other gifts may be. lands or
jewels.
At the christening the child is car
ried in the arms of its godmother to the
church or chapel. A crowd of royalty
and nobility, glittering in brilliant uni
forms and gala toilets, fill the body of
the church and stand grouped round
the font. The priests wear magnificent
robes with gold crosses, and sacred
banners are borne before them. Two
deacons carry portrait of Christ or the
Virgin Mary.
The godfathers give the priest nine
wax candles, which are lighted and fast
ened across the font. The priest in
censes the godfathers and godmothers
and consecrates the water with many
ceremonies. Then a procession is
formed round the font by those taking
part in the ceremony, each one bearing
lighted wax taper. The name of the
child is given in writing to the priest,
who puts the paper on an image which
he holds on the child's breast, mean
while saying a prayer. When the
priest asks If the child forsakes the
devil and bis works, the godparents
turn their backs to the font to show

and the infant is received vislDIy into
Christ's church by the giving of its first
sacrament. When the royal gates are
opened during mass, the deacon APP
pears with the chalice. The baby is
carried to the steps, and the priest,
coming forward, puts drop of wine
into it's mouth with a spoon, saying:
1.-The servant of God communicates in
the name of the Father, the Son and
the Holy Ghost"
On the day the child dons it's first
shoes the czarina gives 800 or 400 pairs
to be distributed among the poor
children of st. Petersburg. These are
ordinary shoes, of course, not bit like
the royal baby's, which are of white
leather, embroidered with gold.

their horror and aversion to the ques.
ton and answer: YES" They again
face the font, and the priest takes the
child, which is quite naked, and, hold
ing it by the head, so his thumb and
finger stop the ears, dips it three
times in the water, pronouncing the
words: II baptise thee in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost"
The chrism, or baptismal JUNCTION,
which is called the seal of the gift of
the Holy Ghost, Immediately follows
baptism. In performing this ceremony
the priest anoints the child with holy
oil; on the eyes, in order that it may
see only good; on the ears, that these
may admit only what is pure; on the
mouth, that it may speak as becomes a
Christian; on the hand, that it may do
no wrong, and on the feet that they
may tread only in the paths of virtue.
At the end of this ceremony the shirt,
which the godmother has provided, is
put on the child by the priest, who
says: Thou art as clean and as clear
from original sin as this shirt; thou art
baptised, thou art sanctified, thou art
washed, in the name of the Trinity"
The cross, which has been given by the
godfather, the child is under obliga-
tions to wear all its life. If this cross
be not found upon the child at death,
the priest says to the godparents, the
child may not have Christian burial,
even though he be the son of hun
bred kings. A particular saint is also
assigned to the child, whose image he
is charged to cherish with special de-
votion.
Holy oil, or chrism, which is used at
royal baptisms, coronation, and conse-
Grafton of churches, is prepared with
elaborate ceremony. There is copper
vase, overlaid with pearl and called the
alabaster, in which is kept the original
OIL sent from Constantinople when
Christianity was introduced into Russia.
A few drops are taken to prepare the
chrism and are replaced with other oil,
SO the quantity never decreases. Wine,
roses, lavender, balsams and spices are
mixed with the oil.
Forty days after the birth of the child,
its mother, the empress. is churched.

Westminster Theater.

Manager Batcheller has treat In the
way OF speciality company at the West
minister Theater this week, and judging
from the very large attendance at the
performances yesterday afternoon and
evening the artists that make up the
company are favortes.
The company is known as "Gus Hills
Novelties. " OF course Mr.. Hill il the
stellar attraction, for IL is well-known
fact that he is beyond doubt the cham
pion club swinger OF the world.
Another attraction is Mile. Eugenie
Petrescu IN novel and interesting per-
formance. This young woman walks,
marches and waltzes upon her hands
quite as readily as most persons do upon
their feet. Besides she is an accomplished
athlete.
Lew Hawkins, the comedian, came IN
for fair share of applause, and he was
entitled TO IL, for he is n delightful enter
tainer. His stories and songs are new
and timely.
Fields and salina,a pair OF comedians
and high kickers, are clever. Bonnie
Lottie, who is down on the program, as
the dancing sunbeam, is rightly named.
Gray and Conway, as the "Dutch Du-
gans, are extremely funny.
McCale and Daniels, as the Irish Tour
lists, in knockabout act, caused no end
of laughter.
Fred III. Leslie has stageful o, all
sorts OF dogs that do everything but talk,
and the high jumping OF "Dick, ia
marvellous.
The four Gardners, a musical team,
discourse the very best OF music from
almost every sort of an instrument. They
are also comedians of more than ordinary
ability. Little Dick showed that he was
proficient in the art Of juggling baton,
and was obliged 10 answer 20 a number of
encores.
This excellent bill was brought to n
close with a laughable sketch entitled,
twentieth Century Barber" all of the
comedians taking part.

Lothrop,s Opera House.

The third week OF the season at 10th
rop's Opera House opened most auspi-
ciously last evening for there was good
patronage, play that met with warm
approval and a well-balanced and artistic
company. The attraction was the pleas
ing comedy drama, Killarney" by Con.
II. Murphy In which that popular actress,
Miss Katherine Rober, has a part well
adapted TO her. The comedy, while not
deviating very much from other Irish
comedies, has its own attractive special
points and is worth seeing. In any
respects IL is the old story of the attempt
of selfish woman TO get the better OF
another for her own purposes, and OF
father who sacrifices his friendship for
the dead to wrong the living I'm order
that his only child may be well married.
AS Kitty Burke, the wroDged but clever
Irish girf, Miss Rober has difficult but
lively part to play, and she does 1t in
way that is as creditable as II is popular
with the patrons of the theater, while as
Terry, the blundering servant, she Is as
amusing as the character requires, aud
its demands are not at all small. Mr..
John Webber, In his carry-outs OF :he part
OF Paddy Doreman, type OF the Irish
peasant, good-natured and shrewd, as
we'll as in some specialties introduced at
the close OF the first act, does excellent
work. Miss Grace Kavanaugh in the
difficult part assigned her OF Judith
haVanaugh, the proud, cruel woman,
proves that her conception OF the charac-
ter is almost perfect and her acting was
well done. As Allen Tracey, young
Irishman In the American Navy, on leave
of absence and the lover of Kitty Burke,
Mr. Leonard Rowe is careful and effect
i've. Morris McHugh portrays the charac-
tire of Captain Archie Deming, an English
man, whose heart is In the right place, in
truthful manner. Mr.. Justin Paige,
in the part OF Dan Dooley, not over
particular and useful scoundrel, scored a
marked success especially in the very
effective scene OF the robbery OF the
chapel. Miss Nellie Hancock, as Oma
Kray, Mr.. l.. A. Lonergan, as Martin
Kavanaugh, Mr.. j. Goodwin Ellis, as
Felix Driscoll, who cannot appreciate the
beauty of love In cottage, adeq uately
fulfilled the requirements o. their parts.
Little Alice Fisher, as Little Carry, show
ed remarkable cleverness The other char
acters in the piece are Lady Bess, tour
list, taken by Miss Florence Mack; Birdie
DAILY, a country lass, taken by Miss Jen-
ME smith; and Larry, servant, taken
by MIR. f.. A. Dele. The selections by
the orchestra last evening were appropri-
ate and we'll rendered. Killarney" will
be given the remainder OF the week with
Miss Roberts charming presentation of
the leading character.
