Organized labor won a victory in
Hartford, Conn. Monday and the hero
of the hour is the newly elected Dem

tleboro knew him when he was catch
err for the local base ball team in 1888.
At the close of the ball season in Brat
tleboro that year he returned to his
home in Holyoke. but was seen here
several times in the next few years as
a member of the Holyoke and st. Je-
rome teams. Sullivan was employed
as clerk in a clothing store in Hol-
yoke, and for three or four years was
in Charles f. Lynchs store in Spring
field. He was also a partner in a
clothing store in the latter city about
year. For the past six of seven years
he has been clerk in a clothing store
in Hartford. He was one of the lead
ers in organizing the Clerks Union
in Hartford. When the Clerks
Union affiliated with the Central La
Dor Union Sullivan became leader
among the workingmen. He has been
president of the Hartford Central La
Dor Union, and is serving his second
term as president of the State FEEDER

All. There, Bennington.

A despatch from Bennington to the
st. Adams Messenger of Wednesday
boosted of the large receipts in the
postal account for the year ending
March 81, 1902, in the Bennington
post office. The total receipts were
something over $4,000, the largest in
the history of the office, which was
gain of $611 over the previous year
The population of Bennington is about
400 larger than that of Brattleboro.
Here are the figures in the postal ac-
count of the Brattleboro post Office for
the year ending March 81. 1902:

Good Business in Vermont.
From the Mortified News. ]

The outlook for a good business
year is very flattering all over the
country. In Vermont the prospects
were never brighter. Engagements
in manufacturing and quarrying and
the establishment of new industries
are reported from many quarters.
This means increased home markets
which are the hope of the farmers.
Vermont is evidently awakening more
and more each year to the possibili-
ties of obtaining her share of the
country's prosperity.

SUMMARY.

AS pipe organ this instrument COM
bines every essential feature of a reg
ular pipe organ, and in addition is pro-
vided with an automatic or self-play-
ing attachment which is operated by
means of perforated paper, and pro-
duces perfectly every musical and ar
tistic effect of which the organ is ca
pable. But the instrument may also
be played in the usual way upon the
keyboard, or, if desired, the keyboard
may be used in unison with the me-
chanical attachment, the organist play
ing an octave higher or lower as the
case may be. This was repeatedly
done by Mr.. Haskell while the organ
was on view, to the admiration and
delight of the listeners.
The perfect tone of the instrument
was especially admired by the mu-
sicians who were present. In this
respect the instrument was consider
ed as furnishing everything to be de-
sired in depth and compass of tone,
while the full, soft and resonant quail
ity met every requirement of the cul-
tivated ear.
The action of the instrument is
technically known as tubular pneu-
matte. The motive power is COM
pressed air admitted through a tube
by valve in direct connection with
each key-a system which secures for
the PLAYER uniform depth of touch.
and does away entirely with the ne
cessity for any device to regulate the
depth of touch. In the wind chest
all complicated levers and kindred de-
vices are eliminated. Each pipe has
its separate wind supply, and instanta-
neous operation is insured as soon as
the main bellows is filled. This meth
cd of construction, peculiar to the
Estey instruments, gives to the organ
firm and decisive speech and keeps the
pipes in tune with each other. no mat
ter what combination is drawn or
chord is struck
The stop action, which is the inven-
tion of Mr. Haskell and which has
recently been patented is especially
noteworthy, The old system of draw
stop action is entirely discarded, and
the operation is so successful that the
old method seems likely to become
obsolete. An abridged keyboard is
placed lust above the manual keys.
Anv white key when depressed brings
into Dlav the register of pipes or coup
lers indicated on the front of this KEY,
and depressing it's alternating black
key closes this register. Each white
