BOSTON, Feb. 7. Uncle Sam's
bulletin on the manufacture of mus
ical instruments, just out, shows that
the largest and most expensive and
most perfect of all instruments for
the production of harmony, the pipe
organ, is peculiarly a product of Mas
sachusetts. The continued supremacy of the
eld Bay State in this department of
instrument making, which, of course,
particularly concerns the churches of
every American city, is right in line
with the traditions of American mus-
them in Boston and the nearby sub
urbs. The aggregate value of these
was SS-HcW, representing about 25
per cent, of the value of all made in
the United States, and by far the
largest percentage of high priced
organs, since two other states, Illin
ois and Ohio, made as many pipe or
gans but ot a tar smaller average
value. The church and concert or
gans that come out of Massachusetts
work-shops averaged about $3800
each, while the average for the whole
country was only $2200.
Behind the making of these pipe
organs in the Bay State there is
long line of trade traditions dating
from the first American church organ
built in Boston in 1745 by Edward
Bromrield Jr. This man, only an
amateur at the business, planned an
instrument of 1200 pipes but, dying
at the early age 23, he left the work
only partially completed. ProfeS'

such misconceptions as that of the
worthy mechanic who complained to
a Scotch clergyman, "I have no objec

whenever the organ is brought in
there is to be an attack made on the
doctrine of the atonement." As late
as 1762 a subject for public discus
sion at Harvard College Commence
ment was "Does music promote sal
vation?" and although the matter was
decided in the affirmative the decision
was not reached without much bitter
ness of spirit
Despite or perhaps because of
intensity of the feelings engendered
by such arguments the leadership in

Scotch called them were brought to
these shores long before they were
made here. At Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, is still played the oldest
church organ in the United States,
one that was imported from England
in 1708 by Hon. Thomas Brattle,
noted citizen of Boston and one of
the founders of the Brattle St
Church. It was left at his death in
1713 to the church bearing his name
with the condition that if this Puri
tan body did not accept it, the instru
ment was to go to King's Chapel,

land in New England.
Brattle Street politely but firmly
refused it, and the organ was instal

later to be sold to a chapel of the
same denomination at Newburyport,
and finally to be set up in St. John's
Chapel at Portsmouth where during

well made originally and it has had
good core. It is probably more often
examined by curious slght-secrs than
any other musical instrument in the
United States, for everybody who
goes to Portsmouth wants to see the
first specimen brought to this coun
try of the glorious instrument which
Abt Voglcr invented.
Another very famous pipe organ
from abroad was installed in New
England at a much later date and a
time when American manufacturers
were doing creditable work, though
not equal to that of the Germans
and the French. About midway in
the Civil War Dr. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, whose interest in music was
very keen, wrote an enthusiastic ami
often quoted description of the first
big concert organ to be set up in
this country, one which was made
for Boston's new Music II all by a
famous German firm.
That installation in 1863 was the
begining of American interest in the
pipe organ as used for other than
church purposes. Since then large
concert organs have been put up in
New York, Cincinnati, Philadelphia
and many other American centres of
musical activity. The original one
in Boston had an eventful history.
Through the later years of the Civil
War and those succeeding it was fre
quently used. Many of the most
famous of American musicians of the
seventies delighted to play on it,
though it had its defects. When,
however, in the early eighties the
Symphony Concerts began to crowd
Music Hall, the organ was found to
take up too much room. In 18S4 it
was sold to Hon. William Grover
who presented it to the New England
Conservatory of Music, then occupy
ing its historical quarters in Franklin
Square, where Lillian Nordica and
many other famous musicians re
ceived their training. The Conserva
tory management found that the
largest of American concert organs
was more or less of a white elephant.
They had no hall big enough for it,
and as there were some technical ob
jections to its mechanism, no good
reason appeared for building a hall
specially to shelter it. Finally, the
metal and lumber in the big organ,
which was in reality as far ahead of
its time as jvas the Croat Eastern
among the steamships, were sold to
local instrument makers and reap
peered doubtless in smaller and more
suable iustrments.
The New England Conservatory
undoubtedly benefited by not attemp
ting to keep the famous instrument
for when a few years later a removal
took place to the admirably equipped
conservatory building on Hunting
ton Avenue, one of Boston's mer-
nt princes, Eben D. Jordan, equip
ped for the uses of the school and of
he visiting musicians who find in
ordan Hall th finest American con
cert hall, one of the largest and most
complete pipe organs ever put to
gether. This instrument, built in
Boston and provided with every pos
ible facility for musical expression,
tands at the modern end of the long
ine of pipe organs that have been
constructed in America since Brom-
eld's iniitat'on of an English pipe
organ tirst scandalized the more
rigid Puritans. It was built in the
ntelligent technical way in which the
census bulletin just out states tnat
'almost every pipe organ is practi
cally built to order to accord with the
architecture or acoustic qualities of
he room or auditorium in which it is
lesigncd'to be placed." The same
nstitution of musical education has

Musicianship on "the Devil's bag.
pipes," as Calvinistic divines called
them, has naturally been somewhat
centralized where the organs arc
made so that the history of the devel
opment of American organ music is
concerned very largely with Boston,
just as the history of grand opera in
America has been largely connected
with New York and New Orleans.
In spite of early complaints that "the
service to God is most grievously
abused by the piping of organs, ring-
g of bells and singing and trowling
if chants from one side of the choir
o the other, with the squealing of
chanting choir , boys and such like
'nominations which arc an offence to
the Lord," much of.our earlier Ameri
can music was written for the pipe
organ. Particularly since the unvcil-
ng of the great concert organ in
Boston Music Hall in 1863 a long
ine of famous American organists
of many American cities have had
their training in the New England
capital. John Knowles Paine, a pro
fessor for many years at Harvard,
began as an organ virtuoso, as did

music at Yale, and one of the most
famous of American composers. Dud

SUIT FOR LOSS OF FINGER.
OVERCOMES ALL THE
. RHEUMATISM
EASILY PREPARED AT HOME
FORCES THE KIDNEYS TO
FILTER URIC ACID AND
WASTE FROM THE BLOOD.
A large New York health publi
cation tells its readers of a number
of simple and safe prescriptions that
can be made at home. The follow
ing, however, for the cure of rheu
matism and kidney and bladder
troubles receives the greatest praise,
viz., Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. These simple, harm
less ingredients can be obtained at
any good prescription pharmacy at
little cost and are mixed by shaking
well in a bottle.
The dose for adults is a teaspoon
ful after each meal and at bedtime,
drinking a full tumbcrful of water
after each dose. It is further stated
that this prescription is a positive
remedy for kidney trouble and lame
hack, weak bjaddcr and urinary diffi
culties, especially of the elderly peo
ple, and one of the best things to be
used in rheumatism afflictions, re
lieving the aches and pains and re
ducing swellings.
A well known local druggist states
that this mixture acts directly upon
the climinative tissues of the kidneys;
cleanses these spongclikc organs and
gives them power to sift and strain
the poisonous waste matter and uric
acid from the blood which is the
cause of rheumatism.
Cut this out and hand to some suf
ferer which would certainly be an act
of humanity. ,....'. , ' i
