Carty were 6ut in California last sum-
mer the builders demonstrated how
marvelously they were reproducing
sound by engaging a full orchestra
and having 1t play alternately with
the organ and the difference could
barely be detected When Va violinlst

ton and the violin attachment was put
on the organ and the same piece
played, it was impossible to tell which
instrument was played by hand!
Now that may sound extrayagant,
but that is what Manager Rothsteih
saws. At any rate, the Majestic's new
organ is certainly going to be an ex-
traordinary instrument.
The seating capacity Of the new
theater viii be about 1,5O0 and the
seats will be of the very best cushion
material, both in the seat proper ana
in the back. There will be loges on
both floors, for families and small
parties. which will no doubt prove
quite popular. The loges will be fur
nished with especially elegant cane
chairs that will be in keeping with
the rich and elaborate furnishings and
decorations.

On the road south of Maple Tree
Corners, in Hinckley township, well
back from the highway, are the crumb
ling walls of what was once COM
modious dwelling, yet whose spacious
halls have never echoed the gentle
voices Of either wife or child. 1t
stands there bleak and alone, mould
ering monument to a broken heart.
A half century and more has pass
ed since Russell Wilder, then a man in
the prime of life, planned the erection
of the house which was to be the
home of. himself and bride, a comely
girl many years younger than Wilder,
whom the latter had met at neigh
bor's home, and to whom he had offer
ed his heart and hand. His offer was
accepted, but the girl, who lived in
Vermont, first gained the consent of
Wilder for visit to her home, Will
der generously bearing the expenses,
Soon after he received a letter from
her stating that she could never be-
come his wife. Russell Wilder was
never the same man afterward He
finished building the home, but never
lived there himself, nor would be per-
nit anyone else to move into it, and
henceforth bore a bitter hatred to-
ward womankind.
With his parents and several other
New England families, Wilder came to
Medina county about 1880, settling in
Hincklev township. When but q lad
his parents died and he was taken in.
to the family Of VIM. Salisbury and
wife, the latter an aunt of Wilder.
In young manhood he wooed and wed
Jane Green, a pretty Granger maiden
and erected a log house for their
home on the site Of the present ruins
Happiness reigned supreme until
sickness overlook. Wilder, necessitat-
ing his removal to d hospital in the
city. The young wife kept up the
farm work as best she could, and af.
ter several weeks went to her hus-
bands bedside. Soon after her re
turn she siclZened and died. It wai
in his loneliness number of years at,
terward, that he.was attracted TO the
young Eastern lass.
Following his disappointment VII
der was persuaded " Mr.. and Mrs
Salisbury to again make his hOns
with them, which he did. Their home
was only 4 short distance from VIII,
ief's house. Later VIM. Salisbury ant
family moved out Of the neighborhOcs
