C|ark's $4,000
Home Organ Is
Finest In World
Foremost Organists and
Musicians at Former Sen
ator's Mansion Test In
strument with Its Hidden
Chimes.

New York, June Ex-senator w. A.
Clark of Montana formally opened
last night his $4,000 organ, the larg-
est chamber organ in the world. 1t
Is set up in the main picture gallery
Of his new mansion at Fifth avenue
and Seventy-seventh street, and he
had invited to a recital the foremost
organists and musicians Of the city.
The Senator personally received his
guests and no other members of the
family were present.
The house, which has been for nine
years in the process of building, was
in no sense open. Only a few rooms
were lighted, and it was said that the
interior decorations will not be COM
pleted until the fall, when there will
be a regular house-warn1ing. From
the outside, indeed, last night there
was no evidence that strains from
what the musicians present declared
to be the most tone-perfect organ in
the world were being poured out.
The instrument is not very large, one
of it's principal features, in fact, be-
ing its concentrated area. The chest
and pipes are situated in the south
wing of the main picture gallery, on
the second floor of the house, and
above the entrance to the gallery, and
the pipes extend to the top of the
lefty ceiling.
The console, or keyboard, is NOV
able, and when in use abuts the organ
proper to the right. When not in
use it is hidden in a niche of the mar
BILE corridor separating the main gall
lery from the rotunda and the conser-
vatory Of the copper tower.
Hidden behind the Caen stone grill
of the, ceiling in the north wing of the
main gallery, and totally invisible, is
the echo organ, considered the most
remarkable feature of the organ. The
chimes ringing out from the hidden
source particularly delighted the critics
present, and with the vox nlystica
of the echo organ were declared to be
the most perfect ever heard.
The organ was built by the Murray
Harris Company of Los Angeles,
makers of the giant organ at the Chi
cago Exposition of 1893, and Senator
Clark has Secured as his organist Ar
thur Scott Brook, who was in charge
of the Chicago organ, and before 1893
was organist for Leland Stanford in
the Memorial church of Los Angeles.

desk a number Of letters, some Of
them without any address, some with
no envelope enclosed and quite few
which have stamped envelope but
with no address on it, nor even on
the letter itself. l am always sorry to
disappoint my readers, when l know
they are earnestly asking for advice,
but under such circumstances I am
quite helpless. q.
When formulas or addresses are de-
sired, the enclosed envelope is always
neces sary, because space is too limit
ed to print formulas, and addresses
cannot be given through the columns
of the newspaper.
One question which is frequently
asked, is the number of questions per-
mitted. There are no limitations,
either to the number of questions or
the length of the letters. Arbitrary
rules have never appealed to me, be-
cause while they might be of benefit
from one point of view, they are like
ly to be very undesirable from an
other. For instance, if you write to
me asking advice about your hair or
your complexion, l would much prefer
that you should write complete de-
scription of your trouble, and ask
all the questions that you feel inclined,
because otherwise you are likely to
ave out the really important details
which enable me to give you sensible
and helpful advice.
All letters are answered as prompt
ly as possible, but ! cannot often send
a reply by return mail"
With these few necessary rules un-
derstood, l assure you that your let
ways receive the best care l can give
to the inquiries they contain.

RECOMMENDATIONS
BY BUCKINGHAM
Bridgeport telegram

Although it is not possible for
all readers to agree with all Mayor
Buckingham S recommendations,
there are some of them which I'm
doubtedly win the approval of a
large majority of citizens. The
experiment of keeping macada-
mized streets in repair by means
of what is known as the patrol
system" is we'll worth making and
if honestly carried out, it is toler-
ably certain to be successful. The
road patrol with his supply of
crushed stone who looks out for
holes in the macadam and mends
them as soon as signs of abrasion
appear, lis the secret of the fine ap-
pearance of many famous foreign
roads and no better system of
keeping highways in repair has
ever been devised. The same
method applied to the asphalt
pavements of cities gives excellent
results, and it is pity that it was
not fairly tried before this particu-
lar form of pavement was aban-
doned.
It is satisfactory to note that
the Mayor is conservative upon
the subject of children's play
grounds and apparently believes
that the number of them should
be increased by voluntary effort if
possible, rather than by funds de-
rived from taxation. This is
wholesome view of the matter and
if the Fairgrounds opened by the
Park Board, succeed, there ought
to be little difficulty in obtaining
the loan of unused ground for
others and sufficient donations to
provide equipment and care TAX
ers. There are many reasons why
such enterprises are more useful
in private hands.
Those who have waged a long
and hopeless fight for the preser-
walton of the trees of the city will
be gratifed to read that the May
or advocates the systematic plant
ing of trees upon certain thor
oughfares under the supervision
of the Park Commissioners and
that he also counsels private citi-
zens to adorn the streets in front
of their houses in the time honor
ed Bridgeport way. 1t will take
some years of missionary work to
revive enthusiasm for the only
mode of redeeming a city which
possesses no particular architec-
tural distinction from being COM
monplace; but optimistic persons
will be tempted to hope that the
Mayors excellent advice marks
the recession of that tide of wan
ton destructiveness which has
swept away so much of the earlier
beauty of what Nature intended
to be very pretty city.
The most important reform
which Mayor Buckingham out
lines is the introduction OF modern
methods of accounting into city
business. This has long been
needed and the Telegram has
urged the necessity of it for sever
al years. A necessary preliminary
to the establishment of the kind
of accounting which is indispens-
able to-all extensive and complica-
