THE ORGANS GOT MIXED.
A Time That EpfscopaIian and Meth
Odist Music wouldn't Chord.


Two mammoth matchmaking machines
got mixed up and created considerable
discord at St. Johns church yesterday.
The new organ, which is to be placed In
the church. arrived a few days ago from
Hook & Hastings of Boston, and MIR. j.
NJ. Rimmer was sent out by the firm to
place it in position and get it ready 10
turn over to the church in perfect order.
Mr.. Rimmer arrived yesterday, and start
ed to open the cases containing the vari-
Gus pipes. He had several cases emptied
and commenced to assert the contents,
when he discovered that the parts did not
comply with the plans he held in his
hand. They were pieces of pipes for an
organ all right, but he did not recognize
them as Hook & Hastings make He
was in a dilemma for some time and did
not know how to proceed He was quite
certain he was in the right Church, but
the pipes did not fit the places.
1t was discovered little later that there
was another new pipe organ in the city
shipped from Boston, too, and consigned
to the Wesley Monumental church. The
boxes In which the organs were shipped
were all marked diamond H" and not
addressed to the consignees. Although
the organs We're purchased from differ
ent manufacturers, each of them, it ap-
pears, use the same shipping mark and
that accounts for the mixing up of the
cases by the freight clerks here
Mr.. Rimmer repacked the boxes be
longing to the Wesley Monumental church
and, after considerable figuring, succeed
ed in getting the two organs separated.
He expects to have the St Johns organ
erected and ready for use in about three
weeks. 1t is a mammoth instrument
containing about 1,500 speaking pipes.

BALTIMORE,s REPUBLICANS.
Masking as RefOrmers, They Are
ROping in Many Democrats.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 15.-The republi-
cans opened their campaign in this city
tonight with a record breaking mass
meeting at Music Hall. The star attrac-
tions were ex-Congressman John V. L.
Findlay who represented the Fourth
Maryland district as a democrat and
Theodore Roosevelt, the New York po-
lice commissioner. They made brilliant
speeches and We're enthusiastically
didates were also on the stage and made
stirring addresses.
A number of prominent citizens here
tofore considered war horses of demOc-
racy We're conspicuous in choice seats
and manifested deep interest in the pro-
ceedings. They gave Mr.. Roosevelt and
ton. The meeting was cleverly adver-
tised as a protest and an appeal; pro-
fraudulent elections, and an appeal to
all good citizens to encourage better
methods in state and municipal govern
ment: There was a great turn out %. OF
gentler sex. In point of numbers and
enthusiasm the assembly was far in adj
vance of any similar demonstration hel6
in Baltimore in recent years.
The music hall, with seating capacity
of almost 1000, was filled and the aisleS
packed half an hour before the meet
ing was called to order.
Overflow meetings were addressed by
leather-lunged orators. Gen. Felix Agnus

ernor; Harry NJ. Clabaugh. Robert p.
Graham and Alcaeus Hooper, candidates
respectively for attorney general, control
Ter and mayor, kept the immense crowd
in good humor with short addresses while
it waited for the star performers.
Mr.. Roosevelt's address was largely
given up to fair elections and civil service
practices. He described the condition that
obtained when he entered the New York
police department and the improvements
that had been introduced showed how
practical politics. Ga political pull and
bribery was being superseded by the
worth and merit kind, and recommended
the breaking of the power of the Balti-

Senator German by saying that he had
detected him in an outrageous falsehood
and broadly intimated that Maryland s
senior senator could not be trusted in

severe in his structures on the German
