NEW CHURCH ORGAN
Large Gathering Heard sad Praised lts
Qualities 10 Providence Presbyter-
Ian Church Last Eveniss.

The concert given in the Providence
Presbyterian church last evening called
forth an audience so large as to require
extra chairs to accommodate ALL The
occasion was the Inauguration OF the
new Hook & Hastings pipe organ, just
bought and placed in the church.
The organ is a credit to the makers
and is admirably adapted in volume
and quality of tone for the place in
which it is to be used. Only one ex-
preston of opinion was heard regard
ing the instrument and the concert and
that was of the most flattering char
acter.
William c. Carl, Of New York, was
the organist, and admirably sustained
his reputation as a concert performer.
Ills elaborate and varied programme
was given with such fine technique, on
both manuls and pedals and well chos-
en- registrations as to give genuine
pleasure i'm every number. The skill-
ful introduction of the star Spangled
Banner" at the close of the last num-
ber called forth a hearty and spontan-
eous applause.
Mrs. shannon Cummings, Of New
York, is delightful singer. Her voice
Is pure soprano, of exquisite quality,
perfect intOnation and almost faultless
execution. She accompanied herself
on the piano in two numbers, receiving
a hearty applause, to which she re-
sponded with Bonnie Sweet Bessie ~
The trio for violin, cello and piano
~ Mossrs. Widmayer, Blaclwood and
DoCrsam was a very agreeable numh her'
They were a representation of home
talent, of which the audience was
proud. Fred II. Widmayer in slit 5
Concerto was probably surprise TO
many who were not aware of his
abilities as a violin soloist. His play
ing was we'll received and deserved the
applause which followed.
Tho committee in charge of the con-
cert is worthy of much praise for the
admirable way in which it was man
aged. The financial part was also
success, as at least one thousnd dollars
ought to be realized from the large
sale of subscription tickets The fol-
lowing were the committees:

While it is true that it is the advance
business that pays. it is also true that
there isn't any man who can make
what 1 call a salary unless he sells
goods in New York as well as on the
road. While merchants came to New
York twenty years ago more than
they do now, it is still true that they
continue to come on now at certain
times. 1t is New York, then, that the
travelling salesman who has been in
their stores, and mixed with them.
knows what they want and how to sell
to them. And it is here above all that
the value of the travelling salesman to
his parent house is proven, above all

rienced travelling salesman who alone
can know not only when but where to
go. If / tell a Southwestern merchant
in July, in New York. that I will be in

Expenses? Expenses don't cut any

To meet them you draw drafts on the

gress.
The bank proposes to give the people
of South and Central America chance
to do their financial business through
this country. Just now 1t is all done IN
London This bank would have Lon
don branch, but it's head would be here
and it's tail in England instead OF its
tail being in New York, as is now the
case.
Such a bank could handle business
with volume of about $250,000,0oO a
year. That is the amount of our busl-

more We are the largest buyers of
South American goods in the world.
In addition to this international bank
we need reciprocity with the countries
of South and Central America, and we
need encouragement for our shipping
interests. But about the latter we need
not say anything until the war is over.
Just now our lack Of a merchant ma
rine is one of our great safeguards. We
have so little that Spain can seize. My
firm is running most of Its ships under
a foreign flag, and we are making more
British charters all the time.
1 share the confidence of most public
men that one outcome of the war will
be the building of the Nicaragua canal.
I have always been in favor of the
canal I was the representative Of the
president of Nicaragua when the con-
cession was made. But 1 have never
taken an interest in the companies or
gained for the building of the canal
because they were not of the right kind.
Where they should have been composed
of substantial men throughout, they
contained a few substantial men and a
great many who were not.
1 think the present company will not
be able to complete the canal. What
ought to be done is to get the biggest
contractors in this country to examine
the work and say for what they will
undertake to complete it. When you
have this substantial foundation, a
company should be organized, composed
of responsible men throughout, which
will undertake to furnish the money
for the work. The development of
South American trade offers plenty of
opportunities for investment / put

are splendid opportunities for capital

Commodore Morgan regarded the
Corsair as a model cruiser. He was
so we'll pleased with her that his new
Yacht now under construction, will
simply be another Corsair, somewhat
enlarged, in fact. as well as in name,
and is from the hands of the same de-
signer.
1t has been said that since the story
of the Corsair's (Gloucester's) achieve
ment off Santiago Commodore Morgan
has been asked to say something about
his late Yacht 1.-The yacht has spoken
for herself" he answered, land I can
not add anything" That is and al
ways was true. Whether on the Sound,
far to the eastward, down the bay or
up the quiet Hudson, the Corsair as
a pleasure vessel always spoke for her
self. and recently in the Caribbean, do
ing Uncle Sans bidding, she has in
deed spoken for herself in a way that
the echoes have rolled around the globe.
Commodore Morgan knows that. Since
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-07-17

Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
did his part in laying low the Pluton
and Furor there have been sweeping
under the sea and over the land to the
commodore scores of messages congrat-
ulating him upon the efficiency of the
yacht he turned over to the Govern
ment.
When Mr.. A. F. Yarrow, the eminent
English engineer, was in New York
last fall he inspected the Corsair and
other of Mr.. Beaver-Webb's boats, and
remarked that for the service intended
they could easily be made 80 per cent
less in weight and be thoroughly eff
cient, and then, if the weight thus
saved were added in power. the yacht
would be the faster for the change.
Mr.. Webb's reply was that in his opin-
ion they were best as constructed, and
the work of the Corsair since she has
been owned by the Government has
shown that he is correct.
The last survey of the Corsair was
made in April, 1894, by the New York
Standard Association, when she was
classed Gal, sixteen years" and no
doubt she is good for every day of the
time with any kind of luck attending
her That she may hold her own for
this period and much longer, all sail
ors. soldiers, yachtsmen and other good
citizens of the republic will heartily
wish.

one, who travels with a special line of
goods for big house. may make $4,000
or $4,000 year in commissions. Many
make from $4,000 to $S000 A good house
salesman in big house may sell in the
market Chat is, in new York City, of
course) million dollars worth of gen
eral dry goods in a year. But he
couldn't possibly go out on the road
with general samples and sell half that
amount in a year. Yet a good travelling
salesman with a special line of dry
goods might sell on the road a million
dollars worth of his speciality SO the
cost to general houses is less than to
special lines to sell their goods and the
general statesmen get paid less.
Concentration is what pays the house
as well as it's travellers. Know your
market, know your customers and
know your special line of goods. Every
successful road salesman has offers to
take out side lines But 1 have always
refused; and it's better to have one
thing to sell and to sell that and moth
ing else. In all my twenty years on the
road 1 have never been insulted, never
had a personal alteration
