Installation of New Pipe Organ in
Emmanuel P. E. Church,
Emporium, Pa.
The new pipe organ erected in this
Church is now completed and the
Rector, Vestry and Congregation are
to be congratulated on the fine instru
ment now ready for divine service. A
description of this latest addition to
Emporium pipe organs will be of inter
est to all lovers of fine organ music
The organ contains a wide range and
variety of organ tone.
First are the strong and prevading
Diapasons and Bourdons, the funda
mental stops and foundation of the
volume of tone. Next are the Flute
tunes, then the String tones and the
reed ton( s, these stops being voiced in
close imitation of the Orchestral instru
ments from which they are named. ■
Besides these there are the soft Dulc
iana and the very soft Aeoline stops
wiiich must be heard to be appreciated.
Another stop seldom heard in none but
the largest organs is the Vox Humana,
a reed stop of peculiar construction
and artistically voiced in close imitation
of the pure human voice. Another
stop is the loud bold Trumpet, a reed
stop, a powerful toned stop in imita
tion of the band Trumpet Auother of
the reed stops is the Orchestral Oboe,
a softer reed stop of a plaintive, mellow
tone.
The whole organ is well voiced by
experts, showing each solo stop sw such
to perfection and combining the'whole
in a well hlended sweet but powerful
tone. The Action of this organ is on
the principle known in the art as
"Tubular Pneumatic." Briefly de
scribed this is a system whereby the
power obtained from the compressed
air in the bellows is used to do the
mechanical work of opening the chest
valves supply ing the pipes with wind
and coupling the pedal organ to the
manuals and the manuals together and
also controlling the stops, Grand Cres.
cendo and other accessories and ef
fects. The touch of the keys is better
and more agreeable than the touch on
the best piano action ever constructed.
The weight of the touch is adjustable,
something entirely new and original
with the builders and first used in this
onjan. By a simple regulating device
the weight of touch can be adjusted to
the wishes of any performer. As the
couplers work on the air only, the ad
dition of couplers does not increase the
weight of touch at all, thus rendering
the most complicated and hard mtisic
a matter that does not tire the per
former by exprtion of operating a hard
action. The Console is detached and
reversed, the player sitting with back
to the organ, and the connections bo
tween the Console and organ proper
are 167 metal tubes controlling the air
operating the action.
A special feature of this organ is a
Grand Crescendo Pedal, a device
whereby the player with foot motion
controlls all the stops in the organ, a
slight toe movement bringing on one
stop after another, commencing at the
softest and ending with the loudest, a
reverse movement of foot cancelling
the stops in inverse order of actuation.
This pedal is balanced and can be left
in any position desired, at either Piano,
Mezzo, Mezzo Forte, or Forte. It does
not affect any stops previously drawn
and when cancelled leaves the resistra
tion as before. Foot combination
pedals are provided and all needed and
modern devices and accessories for
handling of the instrument. The Pedal
Keyßoard is from newly adopted plans
of the American Guild of Organists,
concave in elevation, c inc ive in plan
and radiating. The organ casing in of
quartered oak, finished to match the
church furniture. The display pipea
ure finished in puce leaf. The
power to blow the bellows is obtained
by use of a large "Ko-h" Water Kngine
located in basement of church directly
under the organ. It can lie started
and stopped by player at Cun«oi« and
when in use is automatically control,
led by the rise and fall of the bellow
top.
The or.jan re pretention complete and
flair-lied production, the liifl.i-t (level
opment inartistic construction and
voicing.
The builders of this organ are Messrs*
Bates & Oulley, of Philadelphia. They
were selected from a number of com
petitors by a Committee of the Vestry
after listening to several of their organs
and carefully investigating their work
and record. They are men who are
making the construction and voicing
of the pipe organ their life study and
occupation, both were apprentices to
the trade in boyhood, one in Boston,
the other in Ph. "lelphia, and as ap
prentice, journeyman, foreman and
master each lias spent thirty one years
at the work. Mr. Bates was a foreman
for thirteen consecutive years in the
employ world celebrated "Roosevelt"
firms ot organ builders of New York,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, in that
time having charge of large and varied
work on some of the largest organs
ever constructed, erecting many of
them in all parts of the country. Mr.
Culley has spent much of his time in
the construction of metal pipes, voic
ing and finishing organs in the
churches, he was at one time a fore
man in the metal department of the
"Roosevelt" factory. At another time
he speut seven consecutive years mak
ing and voicing read organ pipea. He
also at one time had a factory of his
own supplying metal pipes to the
trade. Ten years ago these two men,
long shop mates and friends, started
for themselves and their work com
manded attention from the first.
The first organ built is in Grace P.
E. Church, Merchantville, N. J., and
won them high praise from all who
heard it, including the Bishop of the
Diocesse. Many prominent organists
have given recitals on it, and the
builders have many line commendatory
letters regarding it. The nexi one is
in the adjoining parish of Moorsetown,
N. J. The third one, a very large two
manual organ, is in Kensington M. E.
Church, Philadelphia. This large city
organ attracted attention at once and
Hon. John Wanamaker, then about to
donate an organ to the famous Bethany
Presbyterian Church,"Philadelphia, in
vited them to estimate. The com
petition for this organ was spirited, a
dozen of the big firms figuring on
duplicate specifications sent out. Of
this number only one was higher in
price than Bates & Culley, several
were clo3e together with them, one
was S7OO lower, another §ISOO lower,
but Mr. Wanamaker gave them the
contract on account of merit shown.
A letter written to the builders by Mr
Wanamaker four years after complet
ion says "we have never regretted our
i action for a moment." This organ is a
big four manual instrument, part of it
i being one hundred and twenty-five feet
: from the player, controlled by electric
| action, and the organ is the builder's
i shop number 0.
Other large organs are in Lu La
I Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles

| adelphia; Trinity Presbyterian Church,
j Norris Square' Methodist Church;
j Memorial Methodist Church; St.

Proposition to Bond * —ough.
Editor Press:
The proposition to bond the Bor
ough for the purpose of completing the
sewer system is certainly a worthy
project, inasmuch that the sanitary
conditons of the towr. require it. Hav
ing heard the subject discussed, pro
and con, by several of our tax payers,
1 have come to the conclusion that a
great number of our people do not
understand that the old sewer bonds
were paid off last fall for which a tax
of three mills was levied, and the in
creased indebtedness would only cause
the same levy of mills if the people
vote for the issue. Those who have
patiently waited ten years for sewer
and helped pay off the old bonds, now
feel the time has arrived; that they
are entitled to the same privilege of a
sewer. I feel I can safely say there is
not a tax-payer in our Borough who
can honestly claim he is one cent
poorer to-day than he was before these
bonds were issued Not having any
sewer in my locality, I feel it was
money well invested. If the voters
vote down the issue, council can bor
row two or three thousand dollars and
putin sewers haphazard, which- will
not meet with the public demand.
Some few will have sewers, while
others « J have none, consequently
the pro er way is to issue those bonds
and e .t'end them ten or fifteen years
then the whole town will be sewered
and our tax payers will not not feel
the burden in the least. The sewer
system will then be completed as it
was origianally intended, lam aware
of the fact that some will not vote for
it, as they already have sewers. Such
an offense would be committing a
crime against the safety of our Bor
ough.
The accumulation of wealth would
be useless unless we conveyed its use
to the betterment of our conditions, its
well as the public and those who
come after us. What more worthy use
can it be put to than making the sani
tary condition of our town safe from
epidemics,such as fever, diphtheria,etc.
Also from a„ businsss point it would
advance the value of our property,
both for sale or rent. Tenants now,
when renting houses, inquire the first
thing "have you sewers," and
when you have, the consequen
ces are you get a better tenant
with a larger rental, which will three
times pay your extra taxes. I must
say, however, that the majority of ob
jections come from those who pay from
three to five dollars taxes. In conclus
ion I trust that our voters will stop
and think before they condemn this
worthy object.
PROPERTY OWNER.
The Observer.
There is no one who has not, at one
time or another tasted the bitterness
of injuries received, and felt the wi d
prompting ol the spirit of revenge.
The exercise of Christian patience and
forgiveness requires a strong effort.
And the effort is abundantly worth
while, and if honestly put forth will
not fail ol'fuccess.
Christian patience springs from an in
sightiuto the spiritual nature and pos
sibilities of our fellow men. Even our
injurers have high spiritual possibili
ties In doing us the wrong they have
forgotten their higher and better selves.
In wronging us they did greater wrong
to themselves. The higher nature
may be asleep in them; but if it were
to waken, it would cry out as loudly
against the wrongs committed as we
ourselves can do. Instead of seeking
to retaliate upon them in kind, we
should rather hope and patiently wait
for the wakening of the better nature
within them. To have them come to a
j better state of mind is the noblest and
j truest satisfaction we can have. If only
j we could look ahead five years or ten
! years and could see in them—what
j very possibly they will become—the
j best and truest friends we shall then
! possess; surely our present feeling of
; impatient resentment would quickly
I vanish.
We need faith and we need hope; we
; need insight and we need far sight.
■ We need to look into the inner possi
bilities of men; and to have visions of
what may be a better state of things
j in the future.

William Mundy, son of Chief of
Police Frank Mundy, writes the PRESS
from Doty, Wyoming, under date of
Jan. 21st. We extract a major | ortion
of his letter: "It is seven years since
I left the good old town of Emporium.
I expect to come home next fall if
nothing happens. I came out here to
see this country and came very near
doing so; have travelled from the China
Sea to the Artie ocean—most of the
time in the government employ trans
port service; three inches of snow hero.
People in Emporium think this a vast
wilderness, but such is not the case.
This country is alive but to make
money here one has to have capital to
start with. Timber lands on the coast
were all taken up years ago. The
sharpest men in the world are located
on the coast watching for eastern suck

you busy listening to the yarns and

The low percentage of attendance is explained
by the prevalence of contagious diseases 011 ac
