Wanted A Pipe Organ For the New
Chautauqua Building.
(By H. G. Gilmore.)
It has positively been a humiliate
lug position for Ashland, with a pop
ulation close upon 6,000 poople, to
have existed lo! these many years
without so much as a single genu
ine pipe organ In Its midst when,
with the same number of people liv
ing in a community east or middle
west perhaps as many as four would
be found doing yeoman service in the
offices of the praise, prayer ana
thankseiviner in the churches, and
contributing in no small degree to
the edification and uplift of the peo
pie in convention assembled, whether
it be of a religious or secular nature.
No better niece of good fortune
could fall to the lot of our forthcom
ing brand new Chautauqua than to
possess an organ the klug of all In
struments to furnish backbone ana
musical stamina, so to speak, to the
arious gatherings arranged for dur
ing the 365 days of the year. It is,

committed In dealing with so weighty
ind indispensable a matter so long
desired and prayod for by the com
munity at large.
At the Methodist church conven
tion held hero some three years ago
Bishop Cooke was full of enthusiasm
for everything ho witnessed In Ashr
land, and emphatically pronounced
it to he "a city of churches," to
ihlch I repllod, good naturedly, of
course, that with the recollection
that we even had "a church of the
Brethren", and "Brethren of the
church," Ashland was undeniably a
city of too many churchos.
All regret the situation, but there
can be no remedy until such time as
people recognize that denominatlon
alism and churchism Is one thing and
true reverent and practical religion
on common-sense principles quite an
other. The organ legitimately used and
skillfully played is no moan accession
of strength to any" community. A
visit to such a church as the First
Presbyterian in Seattle the largest
denomination In the United States
and made so through the extraordi
nary efforts of the Rev. M. A. Mat
thews will, after listening to a
aJ:mtmnmam:mnmmn:i four manual, fully equipped organ
with echo and chime attachments,
producing tho most charming effects,
convince one that not to purchase a
pipe organ at this time, and provide
a suitable place for it at tho rear of
the stage, In the new Chautauqua
building, would Indeed be a dire ca
lamity ' unconsciously perpetrated,
perhaps, by the "powers that be."
A little patient waiting Is our pur
post Just now, with the belief that
on so vital a question the trustees of
oar Chautauqua will unanimously
declare themselves In favor of the
"king of all Instruments."

The second typewriter speed test
of this semester was given Thursday
evening. About ten advanced typ

was the only successful student to
pass the forty-word-pcr-minute test.
A new ruling makes tho test some

test consisted of writing on an arti

five words for cvory mistake. The
new rule says that ten words shall
be deducted for every mistake after
the first ten mistakes.
