The new organ which has just been
| Installed in the Church Of the Sacred
| Heart was dedicated last night with
recital, in which many Of the most
prominent musicians participated. The
concert was under the direction OF MT.
L. E. Cannon. director Of the choir, ana
will be recorded as an important event
In the history of the church.
The program was made up chiefly OF
sacred selections, and was chosen from
among the works OF well-known COM
posers.
The organ soloists were Mr.. Erich
Rath. who oficiates at tho Church OF the
Sacred Heart: Mr.. John Porter Lawrence.
and Miss Nellie Gillen. organist OF 81.
Stephens. who is the youngest organist
in the city. Mr.. Rath's selections in-
cluded the march from Lachner's suite.
"Abendlied." a Schumann number, and
a Bach fuguc. Miss Gillen gave an OF
fertoire by Theodore Salome.
Guilmant's Nuptial March.
Mr.. Lawrence played Guilmant's' "Nup-
tiaI March" 'Juxta Crucem." from Cur
to's "Stabat Mater" was rendered in ex-
cellent style by Mr.. Bernard Ryan and
chorus. and Mr.. John Nolan sang a bass
solo in the artistic way which always
cbaracterizes his work, while Mrs. Nellie
Wilson Shir-Cliife sang the aria. with
Verdure Clad" from Haydn's Creation.
Gounod's splendid chorus. "Unfold Ye

gram.

time last night, was only completed yes
terday.
Improved Electrical Instrument.
The instrument Is the second electrical
organ put up in Washington. and has
pneumatic action entirely. II is two
manual organ. with fifteen speaking reg
listers, and all modern improvements, In
cluding combination pedals and a crescen-
do pedal, which will enable the player to
increase the volume Of sound from the
softest stop on the organ to its full vol
ume and reduce the sound in the same
manner. The organ is built In an oak
case. and is made in two distinct sec
tions. one on either side Of the choir with
a console between. The advantage OF
this arrangement Is apparent, in that it
places the voices between the organ and
organist. and so allows the latter 70 get
the full effect OF the combined sounds.
The dedication ceremonies OF the
Church Of the Sacred Heart will occur

Columbia-"Why Smith Left Home"

Next Monday evening Harry Corson
Clarke begins the third week of his en-
gagement at the Columbia Theater in the
| lively comedy of why Smith Left Home -
The story of why Smith Left Home"
| briefly told, is as follows: Smith and his
wife are recently married and desire to
enjoy their honeymoon in the quiet seclu-
sion of their own home. but their reIa-
tives seem to seize the opportunity to
visit them from every nook and corner.
To make matters worse the servants are
new. and all members of unions, and are
determined to run the house to suit them
selves. The cook especially is an auto
crat of the worst kind. She is secretary of
her union and by virtue of her office vest
cd with absolute authority over the other
servants. Smith sends for the cook, who
assures him that what he has seen of her
strength is nothing to what he will see IL
he offers opposition.
Realizing the futility of antagonizing a
parsonage of so much Importance. 1t oc-
ours to Smith to attach himself to the
stronger party and by cooperating with
her to rid his house of his annoying visi-
tors. The cook promises to serve such
villainously bad cooking that the guests
shall be forced to leave from sheer
hunger
The role of the cook lady will be played
by Mr.. Clarke. who on this occasion for
the first time in his life will assume a cap
and gown. sel.

CHAMPIONED BY A WOMAN.

CHAMPIONED BY A WOMAN.
Few people are cognizant of the
fact that vaccination for the pre-
vention of smallpox was originally
a turkish process, and that the
western world is indebted to wo-
man Lady Mary Wortley Montague,
for it's introduction among the more
advanced people.
While residing in Belgrade, then
Turkish, during the summer Of
,1717, Lady Mary observed singular
custom prevalent among the ma
tives, that of ENGRAVING, as they
styled it, to produce a mild form of
small pox and stay it's ravagee.
She examined the process with
deep earnestness as she hal recent.
ly lost her only brother from that
disease, and her own life had been
arcely saved; and being convinced
of its efficacy, she did not hesitate
to apply it to her own son, a child
8 years old.
On her return to England, &C
companied by the medical attendant
of the English embassy, she intro
duced the art in London. At that
time it was computed that one per-
son in every seven died of the small
pox taken in the natural way, and
many who lived were terrible dis
figured.
This method was terribly opposed
by the entire mdical farculty, but
by an order of the government an
experiment was made on five per-
sons under sentence of death and it
proved perfectfully successful.
Lady Mary was not hailed as a
benefactor even then but medical
faculty and clergy rose to man
against her and she was prosecuted
and abused. The Princess of Wales
stood by her, however, and reason
finally prevailed.
In 1852 Lady Montagu was honor
ed by monument erected to COM
memorate England's gratitued .
her for introducing iniculatio, :,
through it was prohibited by the
law in 1870
