Disposing an Organs Parts.

"By common consent" continued Mr. r.
win. organs are compared as to their size
by the number of speaking stops This
forms a basis for the number of pipes in
an organ. 1t is true, of course, that
organ having the same number of speaking
stops an another might occupy much
larger space and have much more snowy
case; and its various pipes might also vary
to some extent in size, and the whole power
OF the instruments might vary considerably
as each would be adapted to the audito-
rum in which 1t stood The various parts
of an organ are disposed according to the
space available; hence it follows that no
idea of the size can be made by taking
cubic contents. An organ may be very wide
and shallow, or very narrow and Deep or
occupy large floor space and not much
height. In the large cathedra1s of Europe
the floor space is usually small compared
TO the height of an instrument and they
usually have very elaborate cases of carved
wood and gilded pipes. with high towers,
which gives them an impressive appearance
and makes them seem to be- much larger
than they really are In this country COM
paratively little attention Is given to APP
pearanceS. Our largest organs make the
least Show. That in the Auditorium at Chi
cago is not visible at all. In looking upon
the stage you would never suspect that an
organ was there. The architects Of our
modern commercial music halls too often
hide away grand organs behind cheap
screens. Or merely Indicate their presence
by little windows filled with pipes as is
the case In the new Orchestra Hall In Chi
cago. This is a great mistake. The eye
helps the ear; an organ sounds better and
the music Is more impressive when it can
be seen and Is incased in dgnified and
appropriate manner Even the great or
gan In Festival Hall at ST Louis. which
is admitted to be the largest in the world
lost great deal of its Importance by its
insignificant appearance"
The st. Louis Organ.
The st. Louis organ was built by Muir
ray M. Harris, who located a factory
at Los Angeles. California, because of the
superiority of redwood for the manufacture
of pipes. 1t intended for the conven-
ton hall at Kansas City. and was to cost
$500 Under the contract the directors
of the convention hall deposited $1,000
cash with a local bank, to be paid Mr. Har-
ris when the organ was installed, and the
remainder of the money was to be raised
ward. Mr.. Harris agreed to complete the
organ and place it, ready for use In F'es-
tival hall. st. Louis, on before May l.
1901, the opening day of the exposition and
the contract required that 1t should be ad-
yertised only as 1.-THE Kansas City Conven-
ton Hall Organ. Owing to financial diff
culties Mr.. Harris failed to keep the con-
tract, and the Kansas City people refused
to accept the organ. which Is now stored
In st. Louis. awaiting another purchaser
The organ company has been removed
from Los Angeles to Hoboken, n. j.
AS already stated, the st. Louis organ has
10,059 pipes Some of the other big organs
mentioned are as follows:

Appearance of the Organs.

The organ in st. Georges Hail. Liverpool
Is much more impressive In appearance
| than that at Albert Hall, which has never
| had a great reputation. The great organ
| in the cathedral at HARLEM, Holland, is
practically the same as that at Salt Lake
| In size and other respects. Mr.. Irwin says
| that both. are fine instruments and have
much wider reputation than many of the
larger ones He says that the Salt Lake
organ, which was rebuilt a few years ago
Is copy of the old Boston MUSE Hall Or
gan which was famous half century ago
1t was built by Watcher Of Germany, and
had eighty-four speaking stops and 5,4T4
pipes. It's massive case and large front
pipes gave 1t an imposing appearance, but
It was oid-fashioned and cumbersome: IT'S
mechanical apparatus was out of date. and
several years ago 1t was taken down and
stored away Recently It was bought by a
wealthy gentleman and presented to me-
mortal church In Massachusetts town
The Cincinnati Music Hall organ also had
great reputation at one time. 1t has
eighty speaking stops and @ 237 pipes. 1t
sixty feet high. and cost $4,000. Ii was
built at Boston in 1878. and the case was
deliberately decorated with wood carvings
by the ladies of Cincinnati
THE organ In Plymouth Church, Brook
lyn," said Mr.. Irwin. while not of unusual
SIZE Is still very large for the church, and
has been made famous by the organists
who have ofaciated there. Mr.. Ernest
moderntzed It. DR.. Wheeler is the present
organist.
The Most Recent Of Organs.
The most recent and ultra modern Of all
organs has recently been placed in Orches-
ira Hall, Chicago, for use with the Thomas
Orchestra. II Is very complete organ,
with hfty-six speaking stops and all the
novelties. Modern electric action enables
the console. or key desk to be placed
wherever It may be most convenient on the
stage and when not Ia use it Is dropped
through trap under the stage ana out OF
the way The only connection between the
key desk and the organ itself Is a wire
cable less than an inch in diameter, A
similar organ has recently been built for
the Second Presbyterian Church OF Chi
cago -
Another very hne and large modern in-
strument. continued Mr.. Irwin, has re-
Gently been placed IN the First christian
Science Church On Sth avenue. opposite
Central Park. New York, near I'D street
The building Is sry rich and beautiful

analysis by an expert. No mistakes can
be made The signs nrc plain and un-
rristakable. Or. Williams says that
tuberculosis typhoid fever and diphthcria
are yearly responsible for from three to
four hundred deaths In this city. These
diseases are infectious. That Is. they are
due to bacteria, or germs. The germs
exist in large numbers IN every case and
can be transferred in various ways to
other people. Every case owes It's origin
t. the germs which have come from an
other case You can thus readily un-
derstand." he adds, that If prompt and
proper prccauton Is taken to prevent the
spread of each case no new cases should
develop"
II all conres back to the old saying thnt
ar ounce OF precaution is worth pound
OF cure and 1t is a scientific fact that
tuberculosis is a preventable disease. TO
prevent its spread, says Dr.. Williams, an
early recognition is necessary, and 1t can
be recognized more quickly and more
surely by ARCHAEOLOGICAL methods. This

believe it will be an invaluable agency

Case OF the Cadets.

Editor of The Timcs-Dspatch:
slr.--ln your editorial columns this

cadets occupy a position Of Inferior in
fluence because they do not pay their

board out OF the appropriation given by
the State and thus put them under obllga-

Football at Randolph-Macon.

Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
lsl S!r,-To correct certain erroneous im-
pressions which are out as result Of
some insignificant correspondents of The
baltimore. Washington. Norfolk and even
Richmond papers. I desire to shy .trnt
sRandolph-Macon has on tho field at he
present as strong an aggregation Of men
IN football togs as have appeared upon
the campus for several years These
men come largely from the senior and
junior classes. a few are from The fresh
man. MAJ, class. The scholarship Of Tho men
Is equal to that Of any who have ccni-
posed the team in past years. That the
scholarship required In order to repre-
sent the Athletic Association upon the
football team is high, is true. The col
lego and faculty stands for high scholar
ship, and for clean athletics. We also
believe that a man who cannot do good
class work cannot put up good game
Of football. So the men who play upon
the teams must make a daily class aver
age of 70 per cent. and carry full course.
This rule Is always enforced. But be it
said to the credit ofsthe athletic men OF
Ashland that they have never suncl ed
as a result OF its enforcement. This year
one man who played upon the football
team in the opening of the season, failed
to make the required average on his first
five weeks work, but before the report
was up, he had retired from the squad
and another man had been trained up
to take his place.
4 The newspaper reports to the effect that
our star players had been retired by
the faculty for low scholarship. are wholly
unfounded. and next Saturday when the
yellow Jackets meet the men from
williamsburg at Broad Street Park we
hope to convince our friends of the fact
that we are not only students, but also
football players. We believe in the old
adage. that you should work and then
play. but work while you work and play
when you play.
To correct the impression that our
faculty Is down on football" let 1t be
said that our faculty is intensely inter-
ested in all phrases of college sport and
especially in football They exhort all
students TO take part and help along
athletics in all lines AS a result Of the
intense interest Of the faculty and the
earnestness of the students. dolpf- Ma
con has college spirit unequealcd, and a
team that Is going to show their oppo-
nents an interesting time during the next

A Good Ordinance.

w are grateful that the Board OF AL
etrman has concurred in the ordnance
nassed by the other branch creating a
CITY bacteriologist. and we hope that the
Mayor will not fail 10 approve IT. The
object Of the ordinance, according to a
statement recently prepared by DR..
EEn!on G. Williams. Is TO prevent the
spread OF tuberculosis, typhoid fe,er and
diphthcra. The bacterIologis, Will be re-
auired TO make. free OF charge, oxamlna-
tons for the diagons OF these diseases,
and perform such other services as the
Board of Health may require. by micro
scopic methods" says Dir. Williams "the
existence can be sooner established than
by symptoms. since the symptom often
take days to develop TO the degree neces.
sary for certain dIagonis. Microscopic
met hods are the development OF recent
years. Such work is eminently the wori
OF specialist. The accuracy OF work i.

Captain George y. Wise represented the
fair prisoner. But she did not need al

technical questions. Repeatedly she IN
terrupted the witnesses who were testi-
flying against her, with questions that
showed Il remarkable degree OF acumen
for q woman charged with any offense.
