cal stops, such as coupers, tremolos, com
 bination pistons, etc., are for facilitating
 the control of the organ but have noth-
 Ing to do with the size of the instrument,
 any more than the amount of space cov-
 cred by the seating of an orchestra of
 a given size, which may be either com
 pact or spread out, according to circum-
 stances. When the Mormon Tabernacle organ was first built 1t contained thirty
 eight speaking stops within the present
 case The Kinball company of Chicago
 rebuilt and enlarged it three or four years ago. so 1t now contains sixty speak ing stops and not far from 4O00 pipes.
 But there are at least twenty-seven or gans in the United States alone which
 are larger than this, to say nothing of many greater instruments in foreign coun-
 tries. Until last the year the largest or gan in the world was in the town hall of Sydney, Australia. It contains five
 manuels 12S speaking stops and $500 pipes.
 Between two and three years ago MT.
 Harris designed and partially constructed
 the great organ which was exhibited as | the official concert organ of the St. Louis | exposition last year While this nstru-
 ment was in process of construction he | sold his business to a new company, which ] finished and installed the great organ.

COLLAR BUTTON: A PLAY.
Pantomime Produced In a Shop Win
 dow of Interest to Spectators.

A window show that draws crowd and makes the people laugh is one given, all in pantomne by the demonstrator of a collar button, says the Washington Post
 First he turns to the gaze of the people in front q card inscribed, The Old Way" and then he proceeds to show what d wicked things the old style collar buttoon was. His face placid enough when he first essays to button the collar, takes on soon, when the collar fails to connect, a look of vexation.
 And then he reaches over with a finger inside the shirtband and his thumb out side of it and the collar and tugs and pulls on the collar, trying that way to put 1t over the button, shutting one eye now, and twisting up his face and fairly writh-
 ing in his efforts to make the collar work
 but there's nothing doing.
 And now he lets go of the ends of the
 collar in front, and let's them fly out
 and In his rage he pulls back his shirt
 sleeves before going at 1t again, as though
 the work was something that needed all
 his strength. He doesn't say word, but
 'Blast that collar buttonr' he can be imagined as saying to himself.
 And then the demonstrator grabs at the collar ends again and once more pulls and hauls on them, only to fail again, and then
 he lets go once more and doubles up his fist as though he'd like to bust that collar
 button plunk in the eye. while the people l outside, some, no doubt. with a sort of | reminiscent sympathy laugh. | And then he yanks his watch out of his l fob and looks at 1t, and-heavens he s | late now, thanks to that internal collar l button; and then he goes at it again with
 an almost frantic rage and energy, but to l fail at last utterly, and finally to tear the collar off and cast it on the floor. | And then he sets up in the window, face | to the front, a card inscribed. "The New Way" and then, his face no longer suf- fused with rage, but wearing now look 1 of peace and contentment. he proceeds to | show what simple, easy, comfortable | thing 1t Is to put on a collar with the wonderful new collar buttons of the kind | that he Is showing He touches his finger | to the button at the back-just touches it and the collar Is buttoned there, and at the iron just a touch to each end is sufficient to button the collar there, and | there you are
 And with that last touch the demon strator, out of the fullness of his good humor, winks to the people without who smile once more in return and then pass on making room for others. now waiting for the next demonstration.

PIPE ORGANS SIZE.
Gauged Not by Space It Occupies, But
 by Stops.

From Lesie's Weekly.
 In a recent issue of Leslie's Weekly there appeared a photograph of the or gan in the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake City with the statement that it was the largest instrument of its kind in the world While this assertion seems to express the sincere opinion of the peo- pie of Utah. 1t has not stood the test of investigation. According to the state ment of MT. Murray, MT. Harris Of Los Angeles, Cal formerly an extensive man. ufacturer of organs, the Latter Day Saints big musical machine is surpassed in size by many others throughout the world. The information supplied by MT. Harris presents the following facts of general interest:
 The size of an organ is determined by the number of speaking stops Ca speaking stop controls a set of pipes) and an or gan of a given number of stops is so des- ignated. just as an orchestra or band is spoken of as consisting of given num- Der of men or instruments. The meehani-

The organ contains five manuals the only f1ve-manual organ in Amerca), 14O speaking stops and 10,0o9 pipes. Prior to the construction of this instrument the largest organ in the United States was in the memorial cathedral at Garden City, Long Island. This instrument was built by the Roosevelt company and con tains 115 speaking stops and between 1000 and 5000 pipes. Next is the Auditorium organ In Chicago, built by the same com pany, containing 109 speaking stops and over 1000 pipes The organ in St. Bartholo- new's church, New York city, built by George s. Hutchings of Boston, contains ninety-eight speaking stops and over COCO pipes. Hook & Hastings largest organ, in the Music Hall of Cincinnati, is d few stops smaller than the last instrument mentioned. Ferrand & Votey's largest organ is that in St. Ignatius' church. San Francisco, containing seventy-six speak ing stops and over 5000 pipes. These are but the more important organs in the United States which outrank the Taber- nacle organ and disprove Its claim to su- piemacy.

A LEGAL RATTLE ROYAL.
Governor AycoclS Pitted Against SOlici-
tor Duffy-They Had Debated as
Bows in school at Wilson.

The Duplin Journal has graphic
and interesting account of the cele-
brated trial of Furney and Ed. Jar
man for arson in Duplin. court last
week. They were acquitted. Six at
torneys appeared for the defence and
four assisted in the prosecution. From
the Journals account. the following IS
taken;
"rThis only left two more speeches
for this long, and hard fought case.
They were by Hon. Rodolph Duffy for
the State of North Carolina, and Gov
ernor Chas b. Aycock for the defend
ants. 1t soon became known Satur-
day morning that there would be a
giant against q giant in the TWO last
speeches and early in the day the court
room was filled with people to hear
the mighty effort of Rodolph Duffy
and the grand eloquence of Gov. Az
cock Each spoke for two hours and
their speeches were pronounced
among the strongest ever delivered in
the court house Mr.. Duffy is known
for his wit and staying qualities and
ON this occasion he put forth every
effort At times he spoke rapidly and
eloquently and at others SLOWLY de-
liberately and corvincingly. NO one
can deny that Mr.. Duffy's speech was
not of a high order as they always
are. He appealed for law, order and
good government. The other lawyers
all made good speeches and were lis
| tened to with marked attention. There
lwere present in the court room large
| number of ladies TO hear the speeches.
| Governor Aycock began speaking al
3.45 Saturday afternoon and closed az
| a quarter to six. He is the same ora
| tor as of old and stands without a
peer in this country. He prefers to
defend a man for his life so on this
occasion with all of his heart and
great mind he plead until it seemed
no need of saying more. After re-
viewing the evidence and touching
upon the testimony which he had
| thoroughly stored away. he plunged
into his speech before the jury with
/ all his great power. 1t reminded one
cf other days and other conditions in
North Carolina. when this great ora
tor championed the cause of Democ-
racy and for the Constitutions
/ Amendment. His gestures seemed tc
/ be perfect, his voice rang clear and
strong and with the bright and play
| full twinkle of the eve and the occa-
sional sympathetic smile he held al
spellbound,"

Durham, N. c., March 23.-Tomor-
row morning the restraining order is
sued by Judge PEBBLES against the
Southern road will be heard before
His Honor. This was the order that
stopped all work on Pettigrew street.
Able lawyers have been employed, and
there is great interest in the outcome
of the matter.
The track thrown down by the
Southern road was laid In such way
as to almost completely block the
street, which is one that is greatly
used. At the east end of the track the
rails are within two feet of the side
walks and then there is reverse curve
that throws the track to within a
short distance of the other side of the
street This was evidently done with
the deliberate purpose of blocking
the street In front of the Bull fac
tory storage the railroad people left a
space in the track, this being SO that

consideration shown the American To-

all in their power to make my stay
