PASSING OF THE ORGAN.
All the Vokhb Unit a Ontnrjr Ago,
Hut Now Ilccnllcd nn n I. on if
Forgotten. I'ad.
A llttlo over half a century ago tho
manufacture of the American, reed or
gan took distinct shape. The instru
ment was flrst known as a "melodeon,"
and a strong demand Immediately
Bprang up for it, particularly among
tho humbler, and, consequently, moro
religious class. Tho melodeon was
Just the thing for leading or accom
panying tho voice in hymns. It was
used by peripatetic evangelists
throughout tho country, and thousands
who had novor heard tho like of it bo
foro strained themselves to get It for
family use. In tho larger cities tho
piano had full swing, but in small
towns, villages and hamlets and in
country homes the molodeon was es
tablished in nearly every parlor, says
tho Now York Press.
Prlnco, of Buffalo, Carhart, of Now
York, and others too numerous! to
mention sent out, vast quantities of
theso wind-jammers. After awhile
they wore called "reed organs," and
tho price was raised. In a fow months
j they would become wind-broken, and
; tho miserable wheezy things wero a
constant affliction wherevor they wore
known. Thero was hardly a Sunday
school in tho United States that did
not take up collections from the chil
dren to buy one. At flrst tho perform
er worked tho thing with her feet
i whllo playing the keys with her An
gers. Later a pump-handle attach
ment was made, and It was a great
thing for a smart boy to be called on
by tho superintendent to do tho pump
ing. Ho must do it just so; not too
fast, not too hard, not too slow, not
too softly. If he did just right he be
came a permanency, and mighty proud
was he, the envy of all.
Some of tho organ . builders hired
missionaries to travel and sing hymns
to tho accompaniment of their instru
ments as an advertisement. Thirty
years ago Ira D. Sankoy traveled with
an organ of his own (I do not remem
ber the make), and set tho people wild.
It has never been charged that ho was
In the pay of any firm. Shiploads of
these organs wero sent to Europe.
Some got into the Congo, and tho Af
ricans were charmed. Some went to
India to soothe tho supplicating Hin
doo. The Protestant countries, par
ticularly, demanded great quantities
of them Sweden, Norway. England
and Scotland. Few American enter
prises attained bo big a boom and fow
fell so quickly into a state of collapse.
Standard manufacturers of reed or
gans quit tho business and went Into
the making of pianos, somo with signal
success. The organs have gone into
church cellars to rot, whllo tho piano
is installed In tho home and Sunday
school, In the lecture room and the
college. A remarkable change, this.
Prcncher Selected Ii- Phonograph.
From the "Jewish Chronicle" we learn
of a novel use for the phonograph. Somo
time ago tho Hungarian Jows in Chi
cago wrote to the chief rabbi of Press
burg, in Hungary, asking him to recom
mend an orthodox rabbi, able to preach
In their native language. Pressburg Is
a long way from Chicago, and it was
to much to expect that a rabbi could
drop across for a Sabbath to preach a
trial sermon. That was where the pho
nograph showed its use. The recom-
mended candidate spoke his best ser-
mons in his best German and Hungarian,
into the instrument, and when tho rec
ords were reproduced In Chicago t'hey
gave such delight that the preacher was
unanimously elected at a handsome sal
ary. .
