and especially by Mr.. Macfarlane who
has been of the greatest assistance.
| The builders of the new organ are the

Boston. Each Of these men arc exper-
fenced organ builders. Mr.. Kimball was
born in Fryburg. Maine. Tracy & Met

replaced by an electric motor and blower

Shepherds pipe and Alpine horn to the

AS the first notes Of the "Star Spangled
Banner swelled through the church the

song closed the concert.
No encores were given, although at
times the audience was almost insistent
The program was splesdidly adapted to
display all the beauties and power Of the
new organ and at the same time had
those compositions which make an even
ing so enjoyable and which are favorites
with music lovers.
At the close of the concert MANY came
forward to meet Mr.. Macfarlane and to
express their pleasure for the delightful
evening. The distinguished musician has
made, as he does wherever he goes many
friends, and 1t is to be hoped that our
people may have the opportunity to vel
come him here again in the future.
Description Of the Organ.
AS regards the structure of the organ
description of what has been done will
be of interest to many and especially to
lovers of music in this vicinity. The COM
mittee in charge of the plans have been
Mr. Bassett. Mr.. Allen Partridge and
Mrs. Karl 3. Sturgis.
In the summer of 1893 a new organ
was installed in a recess in the
front of the church to the left of the
pulpit which was used September IS.
1898 at the recital given by Mr. Kotzs-
chmar. referred to by Mr.. Bassett in his
introduction.
This organ, or the front organ as it is
now called, was built by Hook G. Hast
Iings of Boston. 1t had two keyboards
o, manuals. Great and Swell, and pedals
OF twenty-seven notes. There were thir-
teen stops. The Great organ had 6, all
of SIS notes; s TT. Open Diapason, s IT.

Twelfth, #. Fifteenth. The Swell had

IS #. Oboe. fit. Flute Harmonique. all
of So notes. 8 ft. Viola of 46 notes and
a Stopped Diapason of 46 notes with a
Stopped Diapason Bass of II notes. The
Pedal organ had 16 TT. Bourbon of 81
notes. This has been removed and re-
placed by 16 fit. Open Diapason. An
g #. Pedal Gedackt and #. Pedal Flute
have been added. So that now the front
organ has fifteen stops. I
The tones of the old organ were we'll
balanced and sweet but not powerful
and it was a desire to strengthen which
led to the new. The first plan was to
add several stops so as to obtain further
variety of tone and change the tracker
action, by which the stops were brought
on and off by connecting levers operated
by the pulls we are accustomed to see
upon organs, to the modern electric

ly forgotten, but these would last forever
and would be constant source Of pleas
ure He was grateful for this opportunity
to come to Augusta.
The Delightful Program
Amid further applause he took his place
at the console. The program with his
annotations was printed in our yester-
days issue.
He chose for the opening number a
note of patriotism. and gave his own
composition, America the Beautiful
1t is a favorite whenever played.
Then followed a lovely cradle song by
Ralph Kinder and then another of Mr..
Macfariane's compositions, a Scherzo,
sportive and sprightly. during which the
two organs were used antiphonally. The
effect was very fine.
Then came the famous Fugue in A mi
nor by Bach and this selection brought
out the splendid power of the new organ.
The organist having brought his hear
ers up to some of the sheights of music
then led them into beautiful valleys, for
next came another of his own compost
tions, Evening Bells and Cradle Song.
This is a great favorite and we'll 1t should
be, because the suggested picture Of a
mother lulling her baby to sleep while
over the hills steal the notes Of the YES
per bells is very beautiful. In this selec-
ton the chimes Of tho organ were beauu'
fully displayed. Then followed Scotch
Fantasia, also composed by Mr.. Macfar-
lane, during which some of the airs OF
Bonnie Scotland were heard and the skirf-
ing of bagpipes excellently initiated.
This completed the first half of the pro-
gram, which was divided from the second
in a very effective way. The audience
rose and led by Mr.. Clyde Boyer Long.
the tenor of the church quartet, sang that
fine Old hymn, I'VE Praise Thee. Lord
With Earliest Morning Ray" to the stir
ring air of the Russian National hymn
Mr. Macfarlane desired that a note OF
grateful praise be incorporated into the
program and this hymn was selected for
that purpose.
THE Pilgrims Chorus, Evening Star
Song and March from Wagner's Tam
hauser" opened the second part. The
sublime melodies OF these compositions
never grow old and never can.
The Christmas spirit appeared in the
next two numbers, the Pastoral SYM

splendid tones of the organ were brought
out in that truly immortal melody, Han
ders Largo. This number alone recon-
pensed for any effort to be present. Then
came the March of the knights Of the
Grail from Wagner's "Parsifal." This
brought into play again the chimes. The
entry of the knights in solemn chorus

ceremony of the uncovering Of the Grail

to battle, then Bertha either sat by more taci-
turn than ever, or quietly slipped away in fear
lest some forward person might be tempted
to try to open the closed book of her own life.
So it was for the most part constrained and
cherries at the Rosenkranz-not gay and
lively, as it ought to be in tavern. There
fore those guests had often murmured who, as
apprentices, had gone through that period OF
cheerlessness, but who now, long since gradu-
ated, sat as heads of families at the table OF
honor
In recent years things had gone much bet
ter. Bertha's daughter, the tall, blond Anna,
with the clear eyes of her grandmother and
her dead fathers biting humor, knew how TO
meet every sally. To have ten youths around
her, each one holder than the others, ever
sharp tongued in their conversation-that was
what she liked. She was thoroughly confident
Of herself. "You will always be the victor, al

But the most impressed was Max himself.
"The devil What woman she isl" kept
running through his head And in spite OF
Annals refusal to have anything to do with
him he kept coming again and again to the
Rosenkranz. He was dissatisfied with himself
when he came, but he was even more dissatis-

Anna noticed that he once so self-willed, tried
for her sake to prevent any disrespect to her
on the part of his friends, thinking, perhaps,
of the old proverb, that he laughs best who
laughs last.
At last he had laughed and Anna had
laughed with him. They had kissed each
other, made up and married, and nobody was
very much surprised. For they were exactly
suited to each other. That was the opinion
of all the villagers. And there must be some
discords in every true love story.
Then there was life again at the Rosen-
kranz, and sunshine dancing sunshine, even if
it rained the whole Sunday afternoon outside.
Then the very old people also went again to
the tavern, those who could remember the
gayer days of the first years of Rike's mar
riage. She, however, seldom thrust through
the back door her grizzled head, with the
sharp, searching eyes, the ponderous nose and
the lips always drawn tightly together. She
was content with the fourishing business,
which now promised to continue for tie rest
of her life.
