$4,000 ORGAN TO
'PEALF0RTH, SUNDAY
Instrument Installed in North Wood
ward Baptist Church Is One Of
the Finest in America. 4

One OF the most beautiful. modern
and complete organs in America, Is
that In the new North Woodward
Baptist church. which will be heard
for the first time. Sunday. when, The
opening services OF the dedication OF
the church building take place. II Is
one OF the largest instruments ever
manufactured by the NJ. =. Moeller
Co. of Hagerstown. Md. and was
built from designs drawn by w. IA.
Donley, OF Indianapolis, md. one OF
the best-known organ architects In
the United States. The splendid In
strument will cost approximately
$4,000.
The organ Is a four-manual pipe
with the usual keyboard and an echo
organ located in room In the tower
of the church at the back OF the audi
forum. at a distance of about 75 ieet
from the organ itself This is oper-
ated from the swell organ and is said
to produce most beautiful effect.
The action OF main organ and echo
organ is electro-pneumatic throughout.
q device patented by the Moeller Co.
This action, IL is claimed, is the most
complete ever devised, and not only
offers better facilities to the player
and increases the musical possibilities
OF the organ. but contains less than
half the number of parts used In any
other system Of organ building. The
electric current, instead OF being gen

trically driven centrifugal fan, which
furnishes wind for the pipes. so that
when the fan starts, the current is pro-
duced and when not in use the gener-
ator is motionless, thus doing away
with loss of energy. trouble and wear
which. heretofore has been one OF the
strong arguments against electric ac-
ton organs.
While the instrument is a model in
organ building. INTELLECTUALLY and
mechanically. the architect aud
builder did not lose sight OF the fact
that the instrument must also be a
model in tone. and the artistic voicing
OF the pipes is one Of the most remark
able features. The stop control is diff
ferent TO other organs and all stops

TEN OF oscillating tablets placed above
the swell keyboard. SO that the player,
by pressing the lower part of the
tablet. draws the stop and by pressing
the top, cancels 1t. The combination
controlling the various groups of stops
is adjustable and controlled by ivory
pistons beneath the different manuals.
On the occasion OF the dedication SER

CUPID MUST FIGHT RED TAPE.
ludicrous Mistake In French Law
Hard to Correct.

Curious difficulties occasionally be.
set young people who wish to marry
in France. A young Frenchman pro-
posed recently to a Mile. Eugene,
and was accepted. The parents be.
gan collecting the mass of legal pa.
pers required for French marriages.
Among the first to be obtained was
Mdlle. Eugenies birth certificate, and
when they got 1t they found that she
was registered a boy. She is put
down in the big book as a male, and
a male she remains legally and admin.
istratively.
Her parents pointed out first, that
she was obviously, de facto, a girl:
second, that the Christian name Of Eu.
genie entered in the register was fem.
mime; and third, that IL she had been
boy she would already have been
called up for the CONSUMPTION, being of
age. The authorities replied that none
of these arguments were legally and
enthusiastically valid, and that she
continued to be boy.
Administrative reports, procedure,
and decision of the courts, all az
the parents expense, will be required
before the law acknowledges Mdlle.
Eugene to be of the feminine sex and
allows her to marry.
